Russian President Vladimir Putin has gone spearfishing in southern Siberia's mountains, the latest outdoor exploit for the action man and adventure-loving Russian leader. Footage released Saturday by Russian state television stations showed Putin steering an inflatable boat and fishing bare-chested with a rod, accompanied by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other officials. "It's a good catch," a beaming Putin said, displaying his spoils. Action camera footage showed Putin moving under water in a swimsuit and shooting a pike. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier this week that the president spent two hours pursuing a pike before finally getting it.
