Putin Has His Shirt Off Again – This Time In Siberia

It's summer time in Russia, and given how cold the winters are you gotta get that tan while you can. Vlad sure loves the great outdoors, doesn't he?

That Vladimir, he’s just so damn photogenic.

We showed y’all some pictures from Putin’s younger years on Friday (HERE), which was around the exact same time that he was enjoying a spearfishing trip in southern Siberia’s mountains.

Did he wear a shirt? Ha, don’t be daft – customary shades on display too, of course. He did try something new, though – LA Times below:

Putin also tried for the first time to fish underwater with a spear gun.

Video showed Putin moving underwater in a swimsuit and shooting a pike. “It’s very sly and cautious,” the president said of his prey after getting out.

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier this week that the president spent two hours pursuing a pike before finally getting it.

And shirt off time:

Let’s see that pike-catching video, shall we?

Yes, he definitely caught that pike and he definitely darted this tiger:

Not sure why he was wearing a shirt at the time but Mother Russia thanks him.
