1
In the wild, there are fish living in places nobody would ever look.
2
Like this angler fish that's literally living in a plastic cup.
3
And in this video, we'll be searching crazy locations to find rare fish,
4
creatures, and even dangerous predators.
5
We're at the start of our path,
6
but the closer we get to the end,
7
the more insane the creatures will get,
8
with the craziest living underneath abandoned objects.
9
And our goal is to give the coolest animal we find a home inside of our warehouse.
10
Starting with our first spot, a storm drain.
11
Now you might be wondering,
12
how would a fish even get inside of here?
13
Well this drain is actually connected directly to the ocean.
14
So smaller fish swim inside to seek shelter from their predators.
15
This sewer is borderline overflowing right now,
16
which means there's probably a lot of fish inside of here.
17
So we baited up our rod and dropped it down to see what we could catch.
18
So hard to feel- oh I'm getting a bit,
19
I'm getting a bit, leave it,
20
leave it, leave it, leave it.
21
You sure?
22
Oh my god, oh my god!
23
And right away, we caught a checkered pufferfish.
24
These guys are practically baby piranhas.
25
As soon as a shrimp hits the water,
26
you know they're going to be all over it.
27
But as we move through this video,
28
the fish only get crazier.
29
Bringing us to our next spot, this disgusting roadside ditch.
30
There's only four inches of water in here,
31
and it's over 100 degrees.
32
Most fish would die in here within minutes.
33
But before we start searching through this disgusting water,
34
we grabbed a bunch of gear for today's spot off Teemu.
35
We got fishing reels, hooks,
36
nets, and even this little critter key.
37
So I'm gonna drift this tiny baitfish through the ditch,
38
and whatever eats it is gonna be big.
39
Someone's biting it.
40
Oh, what?
41
Is that a snook?
42
Snook.
43
Oh my gosh.
44
That is the rarest...
45
What?
46
That's insane.
47
Are we hallucinating?
48
And as you can see,
49
even we were shocked by what we caught.
50
A snook.
51
But that wasn't the fish we were after.
52
So we quickly released him and kept fishing.
53
Huge thanks to Timu for sponsoring today's video because right now they're hooking you guys up with an insane deal.
54
All you have to do is download the Timu app
55
and enter our code into the search bar to grab 3 to 10 items for $0.
56
Oh, there he is.
57
I see one.
58
I see one.
59
I see one.
60
Right under the kelp.
61
Right under the kelp.
62
And the most important part is you enter the code into the search bar before shopping or the deal won't apply.
63
Once you type it in,
64
you can unlock all kinds of stuff.
65
Fishing gear, outdoor gadgets, tackle, nets.
66
They even have high-end brands like JBL and Beats.
67
So if you guys want to check it out,
68
type in our code that's popping up onto the screen into the T-Mood search bar
69
or hit the link in the description before the deal disappears.
70
Give me a bait.
71
Give me a bait.
72
Give me a bait.
73
Suspect spotted right here.
74
Coming up the right.
75
He's in about two inches of water.
76
Oh my God, I see him.
77
I see him.
78
I see him.
79
He's on it.
80
He got it.
81
He's got the tail.
82
Oh my God, Jack.
83
These things are hard to catch, dude.
84
Can't see him.
85
Hit him.
86
Nice, Jay.
87
I got him.
88
Get down there.
89
Get down there.
90
Get down there.
91
Get down there get down there.
92
He's heavy Chris get him I got him let's go let's go Never send fish guy Chris here.
93
Get me out of here
94
Let's go the air breather That is the only fish
95
that could possibly live in that two inch deep Creek This is a Florida gar
96
and the reason they can survive in water this bad is
97
because they're actually air breathers They can swim to the surface
98
and gulp oxygen straight from the air allowing them to live in hot hot,
99
stagnant ditches where most fish would suffocate.
100
These prehistoric predators have been around for over a hundred million years,
101
can grow over four feet long,
102
and their mouths are packed with rows of razor-sharp needle teeth,
103
built for grabbing fish.
104
Okay, there goes Jack.
105
Okay, there goes this guy Jack.
106
Really, really, really.
107
There goes, there he goes.
108
Now I'm pissed.
109
All right, buddy, see you later.
110
That's a crazy fish, dude.
111
That thing can live on land pretty much.
112
Went right back under the weeds.
113
How's your ass?
114
I smell like gar, I'm in a swamp.
115
You look like a gar, that's for sure.
116
Question for the comments, does Jack look more like a needle fish or a gar?
117
Give me six months.
118
I say he's a gar.
119
Give me six months, I'm gonna be a goliath.
120
We literally just stumbled across this abandoned pool and I actually see fish swimming inside of here.
121
So if this video gets a hundred and fifty thousand likes,
122
we're coming back and we're gonna catch the fish.
123
And if you thought that spot was crazy,
124
what we're about to find out our next spot will blow your mind.
125
But we're not searching in the water,
126
we're searching in the sea.
127
It might just look like yellow floating grass,
128
but it's actually a home to millions of camouflaged creatures.
129
And when you pick it up and shake it out,
130
you can find things from shrimp all the way to anglerfish.
131
Look at all this seaweed moving through the inlet.
132
That is clumped up.
133
Pounds and pounds of wheat.
134
I mean, my net is full.
135
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
136
File fish.
137
No way.
138
File fish.
139
No way.
140
Seaweed file.
141
Dude, that is so sick.
142
That is sick.
143
This is a plain head file fish.
144
One of the many fish hiding in the seaweed.
145
Their flat bodies and rough skin help them blend in perfectly to avoid predators.
146
But right as I was checking out his camouflage,
147
he flopped out of my hand and got stuck in the rocks.
148
I'm leaving him to dry out.
149
Are you kidding me?
150
Yes, I knew that was gonna happen.
151
No way.
152
Where is he?
153
Stay strong and don't give up.
154
He's right down there.
155
Stay strong and don't give up.
156
He's not in the water.
157
Come on.
158
No, Timmy's in here.
159
Chris, stay strong.
160
Timmy's done.
161
Timmy's dead.
162
There he is.
163
There he is.
164
Got Timmy.
165
Put him in the credit keeper, please.
166
Take him.
167
Put him in here.
168
Timmy!
169
Never back down, never what?
170
Don't ever give up.
171
Thank you.
172
I hear something serious.
173
Right here, big file.
174
Big file.
175
Way bigger than Timmy.
176
That's a giant.
177
Johnson.
178
Little little guy.
179
That guy's tiny, dude.
180
But you can see just how orange he is.
181
He'll blend right in with that seaweed.
182
It was clear that this seaweed was loaded with fish,
183
so we kept scooping because there's crazier creatures to find.
184
Don't break my net, bro.
185
That's gonna break big wood right there.
186
That's my favorite net.
187
It's good, right?
188
Did you just eat that?
189
Something's wrong with him.
190
Like, I tell you guys every single video.
191
I mean when you see,
192
when you just see that dents,
193
this could solve a lot of issues in the world.
194
And I might be the first one onto it.
195
After searching through this scoop,
196
we found tons of seaweed crabs,
197
shrimp, and even a baby Bermuda chop.
198
Which led us to believe there was a seaweed monster lurking about.
199
Oh my god!
200
Angler!
201
Angler!
202
Angler!
203
Angler!
204
Angler!
205
Angler!
206
Holy cow!
207
Oh my god!
208
Oh my god!
209
Seaweed angler!
210
Seaweed angler!
211
No way!
212
No freaking way!
213
Let's go, dude!
214
That might be the rarest creature we're gonna find today!
215
This is a sargasm anglerfish.
216
One of the most perfectly camouflaged predators in the entire ocean.
217
They spend their lives hiding inside floating seaweed,
218
where they blend in almost perfectly,
219
waiting for small fish and shrimp to swim too close.
220
Comment down below the craziest creature you've ever heard of.
221
The top comment we're going to try and buy to keep in our warehouse.
222
But in our next scoop,
223
we found a fish that we've never seen before.
224
Oh, pipefish!
225
Pipefish!
226
Pipefish!
227
Pipefish!
228
Holy cow!
229
God, Jack!
230
Holy cow!
231
Come here, pipe!
232
Let's go.
233
That's what we were hunting all day.
234
This little fish is called a pipe fish,
235
a close relative of the seahorse.
236
Their long skinny bodies let them blend perfectly into floating seaweed,
237
where they hide from predators and sneak up on tiny shrimp to eat.
238
And just like seahorses, it's actually the male pipe fish that carries the eggs.
239
But right after finding that rare fish,
240
we found something even crazier.
241
Oh my god, giant angler!
242
Shut up!
243
Shut up, we found the mother load.
244
This thing's huge!
245
Oh my god!
246
The size of this angler!
247
Oh my god!
248
It's huge!
249
Oh my god!
250
That's the biggest seaweed angler!
251
I've never seen him!
252
We need a bigger boat!
253
Are you kidding me?
254
That thing's the size of a baseball!
255
All of our creatures going into a bigger container so you guys can get a really good look at them.
256
Holy cow.
257
There's so many!
258
There's a pipefish in here!
259
Two dangler fish, a pike fish,
260
two crabs, and two pile fish.
261
And as we let all these creatures go,
262
you can see just how perfectly they blend into the seaweed.
263
But not only are there millions of fish living inside this stuff,
264
most people don't realize Sargasm is actually one of the best baits to catch expensive aquarium fish.
265
So to prove it, we put a piece on a hook and threw it out to see what we could catch.
266
And right away, we got a bite.
267
Come on Jack, get him!
268
He's got me hung slung right now.
269
He's gonna get you off.
270
Ooooooh!
271
That's what we do.
272
Ooooooh!
273
That is what we do right there.
274
That is what we do.
275
Let's go!
276
Beautiful prince.
277
Oh, he just came off.
278
Hook of my hand.
279
That's how you turn seaweed into an aquarium fish right there.
280
This is a princess parrotfish.
281
Their beak-like mouths are strong enough to scrape algae straight off the rocks.
282
And believe it or not,
283
parrotfish are responsible for creating a lot of the white sand you see on tropical beaches.
284
That parrotfish was crazy, but this next spot might be the creepiest one yet.
285
A secret hidden tunnel that connects all the way to the ocean.
286
Fish love hiding inside these tunnels because they're dark,
287
protected, and packed with fresh moving water.
288
And since schools of tiny bait fish get swept right through,
289
predators can just sit there and wait for an easy meal to swim by.
290
All this running water is coming straight from the tunnel.
291
That means all those fish are getting pushed down this stream out to the open ocean.
292
Who knows how deep this tunnel goes?
293
I mean, there could be a shark living in here.
294
I'm gonna do a small investigation,
295
see how deep I can get inside this thing.
296
Freaking scary in there, man.
297
Look at this freaking spider.
298
If I get bit by that thing, I'm done.
299
I'm going in.
300
Oh my god, I can hear my voice echoing.
301
Oh!
302
Oh my god, this is horrifying.
303
What the hell was that?
304
I'm just gonna do some swiping.
305
Whoa, what's that?
306
Did you see that?
307
Right on my head cam.
308
Right under this log.
309
Whoa!
310
There's fish in here, dude.
311
I think he's over here.
312
Got him!
313
Let's go!
314
Baby puffer!
315
Living inside the tunnel.
316
Look at him.
317
He's blowing up like a balloon.
318
That's crazy.
319
There's gotta be more fish in here.
320
Let's let this guy go downstream.
321
Ready?
322
Woo!
323
Like a little balloon.
324
Deflate, buddy!
325
After confirming there were fish living inside the tunnel,
326
it was time to step things up.
327
So we broke out some shrimp,
328
baited our hook, and started casting it into the tunnel.
329
But there was one problem.
330
The current was ripping so hard
331
that it kept sweeping our bait right back out before anything got the chance to eat it.
332
That current is going way too fast.
333
We're gonna have to switch up our strategy here.
334
Well, this is what we call close quarters fishing We're going in the tunnel with the rod.
335
We got an eight-foot rod That means we can get about ten feet back in here.
336
Try and keep it as far back in there as I can.
337
I'm getting nibbles.
338
Oh I got one.
339
I got one.
340
Fish in there?
341
I got one.
342
Oh, let's go!
343
Snapper!
344
I knew there was other things in there.
345
Not a mangrove either.
346
That's a dog.
347
Look how pretty that thing is.
348
Holy cow.
349
He's just living back there.
350
I mean if I'm a fish that's where I would be.
351
It's probably literally a never-ending buffet of food That's just coming right at you.
352
Why would you ever leave that?
353
No, Chris wouldn't.
354
I wouldn't.
355
That was a buffet.
356
I love buffets.
357
This might just look like a tiny fish now,
358
but this is actually a baby dog snapper.
359
A predator that can grow over three feet long.
360
As they get bigger their jaws become insanely powerful Allowing them to crush crabs,
361
shrimp, and smaller fish.
362
But it was time to make another cast deeper into the tunnel.
363
Oh, more bites.
364
Something's pulling, something's pulling, something's pulling.
365
Got it.
366
I think.
367
Oh!
368
Needlefish!
369
Needlefish!
370
Needlefish!
371
Needlefish!
372
It's probably feeding on all those glass windows in there.
373
Holy cow!
374
Look at that.
375
You do not want to get bit by that guy right there.
376
This is a needlefish, and they are some of the fastest predators along the shoreline,
377
using their long torpedo-shaped bodies to explode through the water chasing baitfish.
378
Their jaws are packed with razor-sharp teeth designed for grabbing slippery prey before they can escape.
379
This dude has so much yellow underneath his mouth and inside of his mouth.
380
I've literally never seen that before.
381
It's a neon needle.
382
We're gonna name you Neon, buddy.
383
See ya, bud.
384
So we let the needle go and headed to our final destination.
385
A spot only accessible by boat.
386
We're out here in the middle of the ocean to find fish underneath floating objects.
387
Out in the ocean, debris,
388
logs, and even trash float here from all over the world,
389
taking up creatures along the way.
390
These creatures use the floating structures as shelter from the big predators that lurk in these waters.
391
This is a giant buoy that we just stumbled across while looking for floating debris.
392
So to prove there's fish living underneath it,
393
we're gonna cast this bait right under it.
394
Fish on!
395
First fish!
396
What do we got?
397
OOOOOOOH!
398
If that ain't an aquarium fish,
399
I don't know what is.
400
I mean, that is a NICE triggerfish.
401
This guy is living down there.
402
That is something you definitely do NOT want to get bit by.
403
This is a grey triggerfish.
404
They've got insanely strong jaws built for crushing hard-shelled prey,
405
like crabs and sea urchins.
406
And when these fish get territorial,
407
they'll actually chase divers and attack anything that gets too close.
408
But we let this guy go and kept fishing underneath the buoy.
409
Come on!
410
Here we go!
411
Another one!
412
Here we go!
413
Holy f- what the heck is that?
414
What is that?
415
Why does it look like an oarfish?
416
That's an insane fish!
417
What is this?
418
I've never seen this before in my life.
419
That's a never before caught.
420
Oh.
421
My.
422
God.
423
All because it's right under this buoy, man.
424
Oh!
425
Oh!
426
Holy sh- Oh my god!
427
He's got the freaking craziest teeth!
428
He just beat him right in the hand, bro!
429
This is a pearly razorfish.
430
A colorful predator covered in bright blues, pinks, and yellow markings.
431
Even though they look harmless,
432
their mouths are lined with a sharp teeth built for grabbing prey.
433
And if danger gets too close,
434
they can launch themselves straight into the sand and completely disappear in seconds.
435
And as beautiful as this fish was,
436
we released him and casted another bait under the buoy.
437
I'm on.
438
Another fish.
439
Light line here.
440
Ultra light line.
441
Here we go.
442
Oh my god.
443
Oh my god, Batolio.
444
Batolio!
445
No way.
446
Baby Batolio.
447
Baby Batolio.
448
Let's go!
449
We have caught some serious aquarium fish here.
450
This is a scrawled filefish.
451
One of the weirdest fish living around the reefs.
452
And even though they don't look intimidating,
453
those teeth can do some serious damage.
454
We found some insane fish today,
455
but only one was worthy enough to come back to the warehouse.
456
The Sargasm Anglerfish.
457
This Sargasm Anglerfish is going to be the perfect addition to our mini predator tank.
458
He'll fit in perfectly with Nanner,
459
our banana morning eel, and Finn, our baby shark.
460
Everyone drop a comment of what you guys think we should name this guy
461
down in the comments because he is a true one-of-a-kind fish.
462
I mean, that is amazing.
463
Look at that thing.
464
Huge shout out to this guy for being last video's top comment.
465
If you want to be featured in the next video,
466
leave a comment below.
467
And if you didn't see our last video,
468

¿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.
