Carter Brown was leading a fishing charter near Soldotna, Alaska, last week when a mother brown bear approached his boat looking for an easy meal. Brown pulled out his phone and recorded the encounter as the bear found a salmon and began eating it beside him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to take a selfie video of her as she foraged. She finds a piece of salmon while foraging and eats it right next to my head,\u201d Brown told <\/span>Storyful<\/span>. \u201cMy clients were mind blown!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown later told Fox & Friends that a second bear was\u00a0visible in the background while a third remained just out of frame.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI work in an extremely unique location where bears and humans coexist unlike anywhere else in the world,\u201d Brown said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown said encounters like this are part of the job, and he relies on experience to keep clients calm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an active fishing charter. This bear approached us while we were fishing,\u201d he said to <\/span>Fox and Friends<\/span>. \u201cWhen that happens, I tell my people\u2026 be cool. I\u2019m not necessarily worried about them creating a reaction with a bear, maybe worried about them bumping someone over or causing a scene.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown said he was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelmingly positive response the video generated online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe get a lot of negative feedback, especially on the internet, where they seem to kind of take off,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody was just really well received.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
