The fish is suddenly resurrected and flaps its fins vigorously as one of the men turns its body over to defrost.

The footage was uploaded on Pro Fishing Video's Facebook page on Wednesday and has garnered 50,000 views since then. 

A number of online users were left baffled as the fish was unexpectedly revived. 

'What kind of sorcery is this,' one user wrote. 

Another user was left in disbelief and commented saying the video was 'fake'.  

Daily Mail Australia has contacted a fish vet to explain the bizarre phenomenon.

Japanese researchers manage d to bring a water bear back to life in January 2016, that had been frozen for 30 years and survived.
