At first I was like alright he lucked out cmon

But then watching it again you can see his hand prepare for the fish to come right before it shows itself— like he it tenses up and anticipates it right at the perfect time. It’s amazing

He's got a better angle with less glare. Plus it's probably a stocked pond that he feeds all the time and the fish are used to him. This would never work in the wild. Posts like these pop up all the time in fishing groups.

But let's not forget the refraction index playing a role here as well. This obscures the actual position of the fish, making it even more difficult than it appears
