Welcome back to the Papa Meat Channel!
2
How are you doing?
3
How are you doing?
4
Come in and sit down because today we're gonna be talking about fishing!
5
When the hustle and bustle of everyday life has you stressed out, there's nothing quite as relaxing as a fishing trip with the boys, with the fellas, right?
6
Which I've been trying to get the team to go fishing forever because it's been stressed, but Nick doesn't want to go.
7
I'm scared.
8
Fish scare me.
9
They're kind of scary, aren't they?
10
Put a picture of a fish.
11
You ever had to get a fish while they're alive?
12
I never feel good about it.
13
Oh.
14
Oh, yeah.
15
In any of the hunting or fishing, I never actually liked doing any.
16
I didn't like killing any of them.
17
Sad.
18
It is.
19
Even for hunting, I remember my dad would take me hunting and I'd intentionally shoot over the deer.
20
Oh, yeah, you told me.
21
Or sometimes I just wish I had it in my sights and I'd just do bang.
22
And that's it.
23
You should have pointed a gun at your dad.
24
Yeah.
25
Sorry, dad.
26
Hunter, Jesus Christ!
27
Where is a deer now?
28
What if it would just...
29
You could probably get away with that, right?
30
You shoot your dad and bury him in the woods.
31
I don't know where dad went.
32
He ran off with a tall Puerto Rican woman.
33
He ran off with a tall Puerto Rican woman.
34
Mommy said that he wasn't even sorry.
35
I guess we shouldn't look for him.
36
I would shoot him and be like, oh my God, it was an accident.
37
He got in front of me like...
38
Oh, so you're like...
39
Like a shady!
40
You're like, sorry, daddy.
41
Boom, and then you run off and you're just like, he was showing me how to do it.
42
He walked in front of the gun and actually shot it.
43
How are you gonna...
44
How is anyone gonna know?
45
It's you and the deers.
46
The tree cam?
47
The tree cam?
48
Or like the trail cams.
49
Yeah.
50
You see deers and night vision.
51
And then all of a sudden you see you standing there just point blank shooting your dad
52
and you're like dancing over him and stuff.
53
I will say the only way that works is a one and done.
54
You better not miss.
55
Oh yeah.
56
If you got a double tap they're going to be like why is it cheating?
57
Yeah.
58
There are people out there that claim fishing is one of the most boring and uneventful ways to spend your time.
59
So it's hard for them to understand how people within the community live every day looking forward to their next cast.
60
But it's true!
61
Across...
62
But it's true!
63
Fishing enthusiasts are some of the most passionate hobbyists out there, only second to those in the competitive scene.
64
Fishing can be done in all sorts of ways, from the typical setup most of you have likely tried, to much more extreme and life-threatening variations like dynamite fishing.
65
So today, let's take a look at how dedicated and hardcore the fishing community really is.
66
We should do that dynamite fishing.
67
I have. Have you?
68
Oh, shit.
69
I would say that it's not as uncommon.
70
I mean, don't get me wrong.
71
It's stupid.
72
You shouldn't do it.
73
But, you know, I would say if you're from the South Midwest region, whatever, a lot of these things are a lot more normal than you would expect.
74
Or whenever people are like, you did what?
75
You fished with dynamite?
76
You're like, yeah.
77
I've seen too many videos of people losing their hands with explosives.
78
Dude, the amount of...
79
Even fireworks now.
80
The amount of videos I've seen of a guy holding something, and you literally see his hand, it's all falling off.
81
It's crazy that they don't react really.
82
No. They're in shock.
83
The worst one I've seen was these kids put an M80 in a glass bottle.
84
Why would you do it?
85
Yeah, I have no idea.
86
Just rip them to shreds?
87
Yeah, for shrapnel.
88
Well, I mean, I think it's like, it's always that pause.
89
Oh my god!
90
You got the slight, it's the bang, absolute sides, then...
91
Yeah, yeah, no, I know what you mean.
92
Nick, let me ask you this.
93
This is a fishing video.
94
If you were a fish, which fish would you be?
95
I already know the fish I'd be. Be trout.
96
I was gonna say the same thing.
97
Really?
98
I was gonna say a rainbow trout.
99
Oh, rainbow trout!
100
Yeah.
101
Ah!
102
Rainbow Trout Brothers.
103
Yes! game.
104
Fishing isn't just some kind of boomer sport.
105
In fact, younger and younger generations are flocking to it.
106
It could be due to the influx of fishing content that has hit short-form platforms, making it easier to see the highlights the sport has to offer, working as an approachable guide to entering the hobby.
107
It's a way to separate yourself from the busy world
108
and spend time with friends or even just yourself while enjoying nature and the potential of catching something impressive.
109
I think it's the same thing.
110
People of younger generations are going in droves to fishing the same way
111
that I see a lot of younger people also crocheting again.
112
It's going back to traditional thing where you have like you
113
have an actual like you're working towards something it's the same thing like
114
when catching fish if you're doing it of like even catch
115
and release it's the satisfaction of being like of the ritual
116
or even catching something and eating it for dinner that night or
117
so i think people are coming back to a more traditional
118
way of wanting at least a younger generation i've been just
119
crocheting crazy the amount of crocheters i see now i've tried catch
120
and release and it just always kills the fish
121
when it rip the hook out how are you ripping You're just tearing it all the way down to his belly.
122
Mmm, sorry fishy.
123
You get stuck back there and you're like, and then you throw it back in and it just floats.
124
Here, come on camera and then float the way you said that.
125
This poor rainbow trout's floating.
126
He's floating like this.
127
Hold on.
128
He's just going.
129
You alive?
130
That's you.
131
You alive down there, buddy?
132
Come on, buddy!
133
Exactly.
134
He just hasn't had the water in his gills yet.
135
Come on, buddy.
136
Get down there.
137
It's kind of like me and the hamster.
138
Did I tell his hamster story?
139
Did you kill your hamster?
140
I think so.
141
Or he was overheating.
142
I like to believe he was overheating, and I just put the final nail in the coffin.
143
But I had a mean hamster and a nice hamster, and I took the nice hamster out, and I tried putting him in his little ball, and I think I dropped him in.
144
He landed on his back, and I was like, oh, no. Scooped him out, put him back in his little hamster hotel, and he wasn't moving!
145
So I tried to wake him up by pushing him down the slide.
146
He just pathetically like went down, plopped, and I was like, uh-oh.
147
Are you saying that you spiked the hamster into a ball on the ground?
148
That's where he's not moving.
149
Come on, Mr. Whiskers, wake up!
150
We had like a Siberian hamster, most evil thing.
151
You put your hand in there, Just I could stick to it.
152
You have to I don't know if he bit me.
153
He's fighting for his life in there, Nick.
154
It's overheating.
155
You guys put him right by the fucking window.
156
He's boiling alive in a plastic box.
157
Carcinogens floating all around him.
158
I'm surprised the Siberian hamster didn't die because he bit my finger and I went and flew that sucker across.
159
He fucking threw the slung slung shot that motherfucker around the room, didn't you?
160
Yeah, hit the ceiling fan.
161
Get shot around the room.
162
Yeah.

Now back to the video!
198
It's clear that fishing brands want to cater to younger generations, as fishing merchandise have evolved from the Boomer Dad, Fish Fear Me aesthetic, which I think is wrong.
199
That's the wrong...
200
We need to stay in that realm.
201
Yeah, exactly.
202
Now, several brands will team up with IPs like Hatsune Miku, Evangelion, and One Piece to make things like glow-in-the-dark fishing rods or heavily themed accessories.
203
One Piece won't make sense to me.
204
That's if it was Ocean.
205
Oh, yeah.
206
Why not?
207
Why would you not?
208
There's fish all the time in that show.
209
Yeah, they cook fish.
210
Sanji cooks everybody fishing.
211
If it's Eva, though, it should be the hand.
212
With the bait in it.
213
Yeah, it's the bait and lure.
214
I'm so fucked up.
215
However, some still gladly go on shops like Etsy to buy insanely raunchy fishing shirts that read things like, and I quote, I like it when she bends over,
216
and I love it when she tugs on my worm and swallows.
217
It's a pretty sweet shirt.
218
We should get that shirt.
219
Or branded shirts for made-up charter companies called Mike Litterus.
220
To get a glimpse at just how far the love of fishing can go, look no further than the competitive fishing scene.
221
Typically, a fishing competition is when multiple people fish in the same area under a set amount of time.
222
The one who captures the more impressive fish under specific scoring criteria wins.
223
But, like with any sport, there are competitors that will do anything to win.
224
Even the fishing scene, there are cheaters.
225
Which, let me tell you something.
226
This is one of the main reasons I wanted to make this video.
227
It's because I got down the fucking rabbit hole of people catching other people cheating.
228
In competitive fishing.
229
Gold mine.
230
Gold mine.
231
There's weights in fish!
232
When you hear that, it's like a fucking...
233
That's how I feel every time.
234
It makes sense.
235
Like, is there thousands of dollars online?
236
Oh, dude, yeah, yeah, yeah.
237
You'll see.
238
I'm sure we'll talk about it here.
239
Over in Guernsey, in the Ballywick Bass Club competition, was hosted in 2012 and held a 800-pound prize.
240
Matthew Andrew Clark had no interest in losing the payout, so he devised an elaborate plan.
241
He snuck off to a local aquarium in St. Peter's Port to scope out a fish
242
that was big enough to win the competition.
243
After spotting a 13-pound bass, he reached in and stole it from his home of over 15 years.
244
And during the competition, he pretended to fish like his life depended on it before yanking out the stolen bass.
245
Matthew won the competition, proudly posing for photos with a shit-eating grin on his face.
246
And what he didn't count on was another competitor somehow recognized the fish after visiting the same aquarium.
247
He informed the police, and Matthew denied committing the crime as long as he could before he was at the end of his rope.
248
He was put on probation and sentenced to 100 hours of community service, which I gotta say, very sad.
249
Poor fish.
250
Where are we going?
251
Glub, glub.
252
Glub, glub.
253
You think if he just put it back, though, there'd be no crime?
254
He's just like, well, I guess he's out of the water.
255
He might be dead.
256
That's a bold crime to actually do, especially the big fisher.
257
Of course those motherfuckers are going to an aquarium.
258
How do you spot that?
259
How do you know it's like, goddamn, there's fucking jam from the aquarium?
260
13-pound fish is huge.
261
That's crazy.
262
To where you probably are like, that's impressive.
263
Yeah.
264
Or all those fishermen going up there and being like fantasizing.
265
Man, what I wouldn't do.
266
What I wouldn't give to catch somebody as big as you.
267
Come on now.
268
You think there's like some fisher files out there?
269
Come grab the hook.
270
Oh, dude, yeah.
271
I'm pretty sure there was a book out there written by a guy who had sex with a dolphin.
272
He said he had a relationship with a dolphin.
273
You think people put, like, you know, like a little peanut butter on their tip and just plop it up.
274
Probably.
275
Like, on the surface of the water waiting for a little...
276
Yeah, you just...
277
I mean, probably.
278
Anyone ever do that before?
279
That'd be a weird experiment, right?
280
You went out in water and had trout nibbling at your cock for a bit.
281
This is a smaller event with a menial prize, so Clark's punishment wasn't nearly as drastic as it could have been.
282
However, this is child's play compared to how cheating is handled at a more prestigious event.
283
Over in Cleveland, Ohio, uh-oh, the 2022 Lake Erie Walleye Trail held a big fishing tournament.
284
Unlike the last event we mentioned, people were paying hundreds of dollars to enter one of their multiple events, and the prize money of the line was far greater.
285
Look at the dollar amount here.
286
Not just that, but official events like this pave the way to brand sponsorships and other benefits, so competitors take the circuit very, very seriously.
287
Not only is it the prize money, but it's also a potential professional fishing career that you could have.
288
The goal was to catch five of the heaviest walleye fish possible, with the highest weight to beat after the contest ended being nearly 17 pounds.
289
Somehow, the team consisting of 43-year-old Jacob Runyon
290
and 36-year-old Chase Komsky dominated the competition with a total weigh-in of around 34 pounds of walleye fish.
291
They were crowned the winners, but people were heavily suspicious about the turnout, especially because they'd already been under suspicion of cheating doing consistently well in previous year's events, right?
292
No one could be that hot forever, right?
293
As complaints started to swarm event officials, tournament director Jason Fisher, good name for that,
294
yeah, decided to put things to rest by slicing open the fish and checking inside to confirm their weight was natural.
295
In a now viral video, Fisher opens up one to immediately find lead weights and fish fillets pouring out of them, and he screams, We got weights and fish!
296
We got weights and fish!
297
And all at once, a crowd descended upon them, screaming and cursing him out as Jacob is seen standing in stunned silence.
298
Get the f* out of here!
299
Let me tell you, the first time I watched this video, it's so hyped.
300
I didn't know what was going on really at first.
301
But it is, it's, I mean, it's like, It's like finding out that the guy that they're screaming at has kidnapped a child.
302
He's like, she's over here!
303
You know, that kind of thing.
304
It's insane.
305
Jacob and Chase's $28,000 worth of prizes were quickly denied.
306
I mean, 30 grand.
307
I'd be pissed too.
308
Which I would be fucking pissed for too.
309
And also, how many times have they gotten away with it?
310
Where now there's like word of mouth kicking around?
311
Oh, I'd take every prize they won.
312
Oh, yeah.
313
Just like magic.
314
Yu Yu Watanabe.
315
Yu Yu Watanabe style.
316
Yeah, do the same thing.
317
Fortunately for them, Fisher was a police sergeant
318
and was able to get them to leave before they were torn apart by the mob.
319
Everything was turned over as evidence, and the processing investigation led to their fishing licenses being suspended
320
and a $2,500 fine and the $130,000 boat they used in the event being seized.
321
They're now the laughingstock of the pro fishing world.
322
130 grand fishing boat gone.
323
Was it worth it?
324
Yeah.
325
Fishing is such a fixation for some people that it makes companionship hard to maintain, Especially if you haven't found a fish loving partner.
326
That's why across many fishing communities online you'll find frequent post about dating
327
and Relationships I didn't think that I didn't know this is where we were going
328
Some of the biggest posts of them consist of men showing
329
off the big fish They got despite being dumped by the love of their lives the set same day I mean, how could you leave me when I just caught this?
330
I mean like seriously Rebecca Just fucking leave if that's the case.
331
I like how this guy zip tied his wedding ring to the fish's tail What is the point of that?
332
Yeah, I don't know.
333
The fish is clearly dead on the sidewalk here.
334
What if this is outside of his house?
335
That's his wife's ring.
336
Uh, yeah.
337
Fucking keep it.
338
Keep it, bitch.
339
Oh, maybe that's what he did.
340
Threw the fish in here.
341
Yeah, exactly.
342
Fucking take it!
343
Some men will get much more theatric, like Captain Jason Rose, who had been divorced after a near 10-year marriage.
344
Eventually, he wanted to get rid of his wedding band while also expressing a stern fuck you to the woman
345
who never supported his fishing hobby.
346
He zip tied the ring around the tail of a steelhead trout
347
and threw it back into the water where it was eventually caught by a man named Jim Nelligan
348
while fishing in the Lake Michigan, turning the event into a public news story.
349
Oh, so, okay.
350
So the guy who, the photo we just saw, that's the guy who caught it.
351
He's like, what the hell is this?
352
And then yeah, the guy showed up with, took off his like his hat.
353
Sir, you just found my wedding ring.
354
Some avid anglers can't even be bothered to attend a wedding.
355
One woman rants online about how her father was
356
so dead set on his fishing tournament that he chose to go to that over her own wedding, despite it being scheduled over a year prior.
357
Call me, baby.
358
Exactly.
359
Darling, you look beautiful, but I have got to get out there.
360
That's just the guy who doesn't want to go to the wedding.
361
Do you fucking blame him?
362
When have you ever been to a fun wedding, actually?
363
I mean, if you were not the bride or groom, you're not having a good time.
364
Well, you get some pussy there from bridesmaids.
365
A little wedding crasher meme?
366
Well, that's fun.
367
Have you done that?
368
You've never gotten pussy at a wedding, have you?
369
I've gotten made fun of by the...
370
Harry and our buddy Joey were dancing.
371
I forgot I said something, and they totally dissed me.
372
They're just like, I forget.
373
But they embarrassed me, and I just sulked back to my table.
374
What a colorful story.
375
Thank you.
376
Thanks for pretending to walk like a chimp.
377
Like I stole back to my table.
378
To make matters worse, the tournament wouldn't even begin until a week after the wedding.
379
He just wanted to get there a week early.
380
I gotta get there early.
381
I mean, come on, I gotta get my spot.
382
It's like camping.
383
I'm still on his side.
384
It's a lot to prepare for, you know?
385
I have to emotionally prepare for it.
386
Gotta get out there.
387
Gotta feel the water.
388
You're probably doing a couple practice rounds.
389
Ooh!
390
See, I would say, honey, I don't wanna- Or, sweetie, I don't wanna show up for the wedding, but I'll support you on this honeymoon.
391
That's where the real funds at.
392
Do you think he did that so he didn't have to front the bill?
393
Oh.
394
Cause isn't it the wife's, dad's responsibility to pay for the wedding?
395
Kinda fucked up tradition is that, too.
396
You know what I mean?
397
Well, because the man provides, you know, so it's like the woman's gotta offer something.
398
Oh my god!
399
That's- What is wrong with you today?
400
That- What?
401
What?
402
That's...
403
First of all, the woman's gonna have to fight.
404
You're talking about her dad.
405
Yeah!
406
Her dad's paying for it.
407
It's like a...
408
It's a dowry.
409
It's gotta be like...
410
Basically, this is old tradition.
411
It's a thing of like, you're accepting this woman into your family.
412
If you're taking my little daughter away from me and giving her a new last name, you're paying for the fucking wedding.
413
Hey.
414
Cha-ching!
415
There it is.
416
Put it on your card, dude.
417
She's not mine anymore, apparently.
418
The dowry's like, you know, you're about to take on this heavy burden of this woman who will not...
419
Pfft.. do anything.
420
My daughter and she is a big ol' girl.
421
No, I'll get the bill because you have got your hands full.
422
She's like, thank you, Paul.
423
You look beautiful today.
424
Now I'm going to get the hell out of here.
425
You guys have fun.
426
When it comes to dating, women claim that one of the biggest turnoffs ever is guys posting pictures holding the fish they've caught.
427
In fact, a survey consisting of 2200 adult dating app users from the UK revealed
428
that this type of photo was one of the quickest things
429
that made them swipe left only next to the men posting photos of themselves with their ex-partners cropped out of them.
430
That is very lazy, isn't it?
431
God damn, I look good in that.
432
I would expect UK women to be like, I like that because they like fish and chips.
433
Oh, that's nice.
434
I'll take a baked potato with tuna.
435
Wouldn't you expect a British girl to like a fisherman, though?
436
Oh, I think fishermen are notoriously abusive.
437
Where are you getting this from?
438
You've brought up domestic abuse so much. For what?
439
For what reason?
440
Is there actually anything that's backing that up?
441
It's the stereotype of they get drunk, you know, they go out fishing, they come home, beat their wife, and daddy's little girl doesn't like seeing that,
442
so they want to marry a different man.
443
daddy's little girl wow for people angered by this you'll be happy to know
444
that there are plenty of dating apps catering specifically to the
445
fishing community there are platforms like fair game for fishers
446
and hunters and even offshoots like fly lords
447
that cater to fly fishers you would assume right you would
448
assume there's got to be a dating market for everything is there like a dating app for every subsect now
449
because remember back in the day the big ones were like
450
when it was was it christian mingle
451
and then farmers only whatever those are the two ones i
452
remember i had like broadcast television where you're like what there's literally like a dating website called like fet life
453
or something and it's for fetishes so then you like i would imagine
454
that would be
455
because then it's just easier yeah let's just cut to the
456
chase exactly let me ask you this as someone who's still in the active dating scene
457
and stuff does these dating websites do they have things now
458
where there's categories like i'd almost expect these dating websites like tinder
459
or like facebook dating or whatever to have a thing where it's like okay it's this
460
and you literally it's like a spreadsheet thing of like you're a christian furry whatever
461
and it puts you in this category or like a certain box
462
or is it still just free for all it's free for
463
all the biggest one is just interest it'll matter like there's filters on some of the apps
464
but you have to pay for them
465
but it tries to match you up like if you like reading
466
or going to museums or art it'll be like This person likes these same things as you.
467
Oh, so it's basically saying like what your checklist is versus your check- or their checklist and comparing them?
468
Because these apps are still conventional dating, which is like a lot of these specific ones feel like fetish ones where it's like- You think so?
469
Yeah, I think so.
470
Even like Farmers Only or even like the fishing ones?
471
You think that's like a fetish website?
472
I think it's trying to- Maybe.
473
We're- I mean, if that's like the specific type- If you are only ever interested in a fishing person, is it not nice to just be like i'm on this
474
website with someone who's like like-minded the same way i was i was saying though where it's like
475
if you could break down your experience to just being like i literally only want this yeah a furry person
476
or whatever there's furries only is there probably is there probably is something like
477
that but i'm just saying like
478
if you had it to where it was like facebook dating
479
or tinder i'm surprised they haven't done
480
that to where it's like it just literally meant to mitigate your experience
481
but then i guess it's not as evergreen yeah they're not making as much money
482
if you're not like if you run out of swipes what's the point yeah
483
when most people decide to go fishing they'll pick up a regular rod
484
and reel for some anglers however
485
that is simply not intense enough many likely aren't aware of
486
how much variety there is in the world of fishing gear ice fishing is a massive winter time sport
487
that has lots of anglers participate in it every year all
488
you have to do is go to a lake drill a hole in some ice
489
and get fishing right you just drop the lure down
490
and just wait in some instances people will sit out in a chair
491
or bucket in the elements but others go above
492
and beyond bringing massive lodges onto the lakes typically ice fishing huts are basically tents
493
but these pale in comparison to some of the more luxurious fishing huts on the market
494
if you wanted there are rentable houses with heat indoor bathrooms
495
and bunk beds full kitchens
496
and wi-fi this way you can practically live out on the lake
497
and be ice fishing all day i would be horrified that it would break and i would be singing
498
I've seen someone who's they cut a hole in their car to go ice fishing
499
and they just got a little like cork they pop out
500
That's pretty sweet actually These lake mansions have holes in the floor
501
that allow you to remove the cover
502
and fish at any time of day Larger huts are usually found far north
503
because the ice is much thicker there Otherwise they'd fall straight through
504
and you'd fucking drown or just destroy it That's no good
505
Falling through the ice is the biggest fear of any ice fisherman In fact, it's more common than you think Some people don't check the ice reports before heading out
506
and drive their two-ton truck onto the ice, only for it to break through and sink to the bottom of the goddamn lake.
507
Happens to the best of us.
508
Another fall risk occurs when too many fishermen cut through the ice at once, causing it to break apart and send everyone into the lake.
509
I would say overall, ice fishing is generally accepted everywhere it gets cold enough, but some cities ban fishermen from going on the ice at all.
510
In Hudson, Ohio, the mayor was laughed out for his ridiculous reason for not allowing ice fishing.
511
He claimed that allowing ice fishermen would lead to homeless people putting ice shanties on the lake.
512
Basically, he said that the homeless would...
513
The homeless would populate the lake.
514
He also argued that this would escalate into ice shanty brothels out in the lake, and he would simply not want the sheriff to get involved.
515
And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem.
516
Prostitution.
517
I don't want people fucking out on the lake with homeless people.
518
I just...
519
We don't want to get the sheriff.
520
If we just, we just, we're gonna stop.
521
If freezing out on a lake
522
and using a reel doesn't interest you lots of anglers use
523
more interesting methods to capture their prey bow fishing is an
524
extremely popular form of fishing you use a regular composite bow except the arrows are attached to a string
525
that is retracted by a reel the boats bow fishers use
526
are much different as well they're practically warships on lakes the biggest difference is a massive elevated shooting deck
527
that gives the fishermen an advantage when shooting into the water.
528
Many anglers choose to bowfish at night by using massive LED
529
lights just below the shooting deck to illuminate the fish in the water, making them easier targets, which to me, I'm like, you know what?
530
What the fuck's the fun in that?
531
To be fair though, if it isn't, if it's for actually eating, then I mean, what do we do?
532
I need to get food.
533
But if it's something for recreational use, turn the fucking light off, dude.
534
You already have a fucking crossbow you're shooting into the water, you know?
535
While fishing is generally pretty regulated in the US, plenty of fishermen still bring firearms out into the water and turn their catches into red paste.
536
You know, come on.
537
Where do you think we're at?
538
In Wisconsin, the DNR was struggling to prevent people from blasting fish out of the sky, so they passed a law making it illegal for fishermen to even carry a gun.
539
This law was recently repealed, but after doing so, they had to beg people to stop shooting fish.
540
Please!
541
Stop!
542
Another illegal form of fishing is blast fishing, otherwise known as dynamite fishing.
543
This form of fishing is banned worldwide because of the damage it does to the ecosystems, Also, out of every 10 fish you blast, you might catch five and leave the other five basically vaporized.
544
And also, people blow up.
545
It's probably the biggest one.
546
I'm telling you, people...
547
The amount of hands I've just seen get eviscerated online is unbelievable.
548
Also, dynamite?
549
An actual stick of dynamite?
550
Yeah.
551
You throw the water. And then blasts up.
552
Little Wile E.
553
Coyote stick of dynamite, dude.
554
It's also fairly common for the fishermen to get caught in the blast, regardless of whether they're on or off land.
555
For example, in 2025, two blast fishermen from the Philippines died after they leveled their home, making ammonium nitrate bombs.
556
Be a bummer, wouldn't it?
557
Yeah, I'm dead bummer.
558
I thought about getting into pyrotechnics when I was younger, but I was too scared that I'd blow myself up.
559
Why?
560
Why?
561
Why would you think about getting into pyrotechnics?
562
Oh, for filmmaking?
563
I was like, oh, I'm gonna make a squib.
564
Oh, you said what you're saying, though, is you're like, I wanted to get into special effects.
565
Yeah, exactly.
566
But I was too scared, because I was like, oh, I'm gonna make a squib.
567
And I was like, get black powder.
568
And I'm just afraid that...
569
Oh, because it has to do a little pop?
570
Yeah.
571
Which, I mean, the small amount on you is not going to cause harm, but it's just getting, like, the big gallon bucket of powder, and my ass would...
572
Yeah, I'm blowing up.
573
Over in Malaysia, two tourists
574
and a local diving instructor were found dead surrounded by fish after a fishman dropped bombs on them.
575
After diving about 20 feet down, the trio was hit by a homemade bomb that damaged the nearby coral, broke their mask and killed several fish.
576
Their bodies were discovered when the boat driver returned to the area
577
and saw their bodies along the massive amounts of sea foam.
578
Nobody in the area heard any explosions, but the victim's autopsies confirmed that they had suffered from major internal injuries from a blast.
579
Police would launch an investigation and arrest two fishermen in the connection with the murder.
580
How crazy is that, actually?
581
I didn't even think about that.
582
Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
583
I've never even thought about divers or just being like, oh, you're fishing and you don't know people are diving down there.
584
Well, you know, I think that you would probably just assume
585
that you would see their boat or something
586
but even then you just you never know exactly you don't
587
know how far they've traveled yeah yeah that's that's horrifying also
588
yeah you can probably see their boat over there can you imagine being like swimming yeah
589
and you just see or something i mean that'd be wild man also
590
that doesn't sound like an instant death no i think they probably got injured
591
and drowned or something which would just it's just horrifying oh god
592
or like they had their ears are ruptured their tank ruptured
593
too brutal what a horrible way to die my god i like how they drove off to Yeah.
594
Uh-oh.
595
That's okay.
596
Yeah, you with your hamster.
597
You all right down there, buddy?
598
There are all sorts of equipment you could choose to fish with, but some would rather just use their hands.
599
Noodling is one of the most basic forms of fishing
600
and inquires the angler to stick their hands into holes along the riverbank, hoping a catfish bites on so they can pull them out.
601
You ever see that?
602
That's one that I feel like I could never do.
603
I could never do that either.
604
It freaks me out.
605
I feel like, yeah, they...
606
Sometimes it's referred to as tickling or hogging, and it's legal in 17 states, most of which are in the South which I think that's like mostly where you can do this kind of stuff.
607
It's like the mud fish, like catfish, all that kind of stuff.
608
The hardest part of noodling is finding a hole to reach into.
609
It's also the most dangerous part, as you never know what could be in the hole waiting to bite.
610
One seasoned noodler described all the injuries he's seen over the years during an interview.
611
It's amazing that he still returns for more.
612
It has come for people to break their fingers when the fish latches onto their hands.
613
It's also come for people's hands to turn black and blue, or for their noses to be busted from the fish violently thrashing.
614
In one instance, the man had to take his brother to the ER after a channel catfish
615
impaled his arm with its dorsal fin.
616
While reaching into holes, people have also been cut by straight underwater rebar and submerged barrels where fish live.
617
Another big risk of noodling is drowning.
618
People underestimate how strong currents as well as the catfish themselves can be.
619
People have caught 80 to 100 pound catfish with their bare hands.
620
During these outings, most noodlers have a spotter.
621
Because if the fish is big enough or if their hand gets stuck in the hole, they have to be pulled out of the water.
622
You gotta go with your buddy.
623
That's insane.
624
80 to 100 pound catfish?
625
Fuck's sakes, man.
626
Strong motherfuckers doing that stuff.
627
I mean, fuck.
628
Also, yeah, I was gonna say, it's fighting shit.
629
My God.
630
We can go on all day about fish-related accidents, but fish aren't the only threat out on the boat.
631
Fishing is a sport that can get people pretty worked up, which is why some of the biggest threats to a fisherman are the people around him.
632
Recently, an unhinged video went viral in
633
which an adult man from a lakefront property was furious to see a 14-year-old kid
634
and his friend fishing in the lake what started as threats
635
of physical violence immediately escalated into the adult slapping the child before pushing him onto the ground
636
and holding his head underwater for several seconds eventually people stepped in
637
and ripped them apart
638
which is just fucking insane see that's the kind of guy where i'm like those kind like
639
when it's a adult man it's first off you're fishing to
640
not have the mental fortitude just to be like you know
641
what they're not supposed to be here i'm gonna like call somebody
642
and get like to to back off but to escalate to violence like
643
that for me personally fight
644
but my opinion nick can i say my opinion say your opinion you may people like
645
that should have their legs broken well conveniently the kid in
646
the story had broken legs well that's why i couldn't fight
647
back then is what you're saying yeah he was on crutches
648
and then yeah the guy went up to him slapped him threw him in the water what's weird is
649
that his friends didn't pull him off for like a good couple minutes
650
which i was like the second they hit the water i'd
651
be trying to break it up i could i mean i don't think i mean to me that's not
652
that crazy you're shot you're young you're shocked whatever huh i
653
don't want him to hurt me yeah yeah whatever granted it's easy in hindsight to be like
654
if it was my boy i'd help whatever that's true
655
but nick somebody's slapping you around i don't know maybe i
656
hide around a corner i'd snap i'd go banana yeah jump on his back yeah
657
so i i thought
658
if i ever got into a fight i would go straight
659
for the kill i wouldn't mess around get on the back
660
choke him out bite his ear you gotta do you got
661
it yeah i ain't messing around a lot of people don't know how to do
662
that though like me i i'm too fat and clumsy there's There's no way it would happen.
663
Try to go immediately trip.
664
Fall to the ground.
665
All right, we're good.
666
Most people think of fishing as simply as a hobby, but that is far from the truth.
667
Fishing is an entire lifestyle for some.
668
One that can be extremely rewarding and almost therapeutic.
669
If you're unsure about whether or not it's for you, stir it small.
670
Grab a few beers and a couple of buddies and you just might understand why people are absolutely hooked on it.
671
See what we did there?
672
But no, seriously, if you haven't fished before, try it.
673
It's fun.
674
And also you do a thing with catch and release.
675
You don't have to be like Nick.
676
I don't know what the fuck.
677
It's usually very easy to grab a fish and just do it and throw it back out.
678
I don't know what you're talking about.
679
I think Nick is like sticking his whole hand in there and being like, that's weird fishy dead.
680
It's a good time, though.
681
It's therapeutic.
682
Also, it's an excuse to even if it's, even if you don't even fish, get on a boat and just float on some water.
683
I'm telling you, it's heaven.
684
Literally just sit out there and float.
685
That's what we would do.
686
We'd just go up to the lake and just drink and get sick.
687
There it is.
688
And that's our video today.
689
I hope you liked it.
690
Stay fishing, friends.
691
Bye!
692
Bye!
693
Are we going fishing?
694
Let's go fishing!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
