1
Inside of sewers, you can find tons of crazy animals that you would never expect.
2
Like this one, for example, that had a bunch of these weird-looking water bugs in it.
3
But in this video, I'm gonna be searching through a hundred different sewers to see what crazy-looking fish, monster turtles, and even deadly snakes are living inside of them.
4
And as the video goes on, the sewers are gonna get bigger and bigger, and are gonna be home to animals that are extremely rare, so who knows what we're gonna find.
5
To start my search, I made my way over to sewer number two, And after opening it, I noticed that it was filled with really dirty water and tons of trash.
6
But somehow, I still managed to find something inside of it.
7
Oh my gosh, no way you guys, we caught a fish!
8
I have no idea what kind it is though, it looks like some sort of eel.
9
Wait a minute, I think this is a dragon goby, and this is the biggest one I've ever seen!
10
Now these fish are actually pretty rare, and they literally look like real life aliens.
11
But like I said, usually we only catch little babies.
12
I didn't even know they got this big.
13
I can't believe he was living in that sewer though the water is so nasty.
14
Now thankfully I brought a bunch of buckets filled with clean water
15
that way we could take home and save every animal that we catch from these sewers.
16
With the first fish found I moved on to sewer number three
17
but I didn't find anything inside of it and that's probably
18
because most of these sewers are too polluted for animals to even live in them.
19
But our luck turned around with sewer number five where I found the craziest animal so far.
20
Whoa what the heck is that you guys.
21
Whatever it is, it has massive claws.
22
After a closer look, I realized that this was a freshwater prawn.
23
Now, these guys are kind of like a mixture between a crawfish and a shrimp.
24
However, they get absolutely massive.
25
That is so cool.
26
I was definitely not expecting to find him in the sewer.
27
I wonder what else is down there.
28
To find out, I decided to take a few more nets
29
and I managed to catch these three mystery fish that looked like little baby stingrays.
30
But as cool as they were, we still have so many sewers left to explore and the animals are just gonna get crazier and crazier.
31
So I opened up sewer number seven and this one was the biggest so far, which means there could definitely be bigger animals inside of it.
32
All right, here we go.
33
Let's take a big scoop.
34
Oh, wait a minute.
35
I think I feel something.
36
You guys, we got a massive fish in the net.
37
I quickly pulled it up and right away I knew what it was.
38
It's called a mountain eel and we've only caught a few of them before, so they're actually pretty rare.
39
This was by far the biggest animal that we found, but it's definitely not the rarest or the deadliest creature that lives in these sewers.
40
So we need to keep going.
41
After a few more empty sewers, I came across sewer number 10 and immediately I pulled something crazy out of it.
42
Oh my gosh, you guys, look at this.
43
There's a little crab in here.
44
I literally have no idea what kind of crab this is.
45
So if you do, comment down below.
46
But this is a really cool find.
47
Now, since we found one crab in the sewer, I figured that there could be more.
48
So I took another scoop and I managed to catch another one, but this one was a little bit different Oh, look at this one you guys the other one was red.
49
This one is like blue
50
and purple I've never seen anything like this I'm pretty sure purple crabs are like the rarest ones
51
that you can find
52
and we just found one in a sewer Now i'm sure there's a lot more down there
53
and I would love to keep catching more But we still have 90 other sewers we need to explore.
54
So we need to keep going
55
Things started to pick up and right after that I found another animal in sewer number 11 Oh, what is this?
56
You guys, I think it's a little baby turtle Oh my gosh, he's so cute Well, that's our first turtle of the video
57
And I believe that this is a baby musk turtle
58
And there's a reason that they call him that And that's
59
because these guys can actually release a really nasty odor from their body
60
And this one is definitely doing that
61
So let's just get him into a bucket I continued my search
62
and I stumbled upon sewer number 12 which was home to something really cool.
63
Oh we got another fish you guys and I think it's a ghost knife fish.
64
Now what's really cool about these fish is they can actually use electricity to communicate with each other
65
and to hunt down their prey and if you hold them you can actually feel them shock you.
66
This is so crazy.
67
Now since we just pulled this guy out of a nasty sewer he wasn't looking the best
68
so I quickly added him into a bucket with some clean water and I continued my search.
69
In the next three sewers, I found nothing but a bunch of trash.
70
However, our luck started to turn around when I came across sewer number 16.
71
Whoa, look at this one, you guys.
72
This is definitely the biggest sewer so far.
73
There's got to be something crazy down there.
74
Now, the weird thing about this sewer was that it was split up into two sections.
75
And while I didn't find anything in the first half, as I shined my light into the other section, I spotted something big.
76
No way, you guys.
77
There's a massive turtle down there.
78
That is crazy.
79
All right, I'm sending the net down.
80
Let's see if we can get him.
81
Oh my gosh, he's so big.
82
He barely fits in the net.
83
Oh, there we go.
84
I think we got him, you guys.
85
This thing is so heavy.
86
As I was pulling it up, I noticed that it was a big snapping turtle, which are extremely aggressive and can take off a finger if you're not careful.
87
Oh my gosh, and he is not happy, you guys.
88
It keeps trying to bite me.
89
This is so scary.
90
Now this is probably the deadliest animal that we've caught so far.
91
However, we could still catch snakes and even alligators in the rest of the sewers.
92
So let's keep going.
93
Right after that in sewer number 17, I took a couple scoops and I managed to catch not one, but two crazy animals.
94
I'm pretty sure these are bristlenose placos and they are massive.
95
But as you can tell, one of them is albino, which makes it extremely rare.
96
I added them into a bucket and I kept going and after finding nothing in sewers 18 and 19, this happened.
97
Whoa, you guys, check this out.
98
There's a snake skin sitting on top of the sewer.
99
Now, that could mean there's a snake down here, but I guess the only way to find out is to open it up.
100
So that's exactly what I did, and immediately I spotted something in the water, and sure enough, it was a snake.
101
So I carefully netted it up, and as I pulled it closer, I realized that it was just a little baby water snake.
102
Now, I'm pretty sure these snakes are not venomous, so we don't have to worry about getting bit.
103
But that is super cool first snake of the video.
104
However, I have a feeling it's not gonna be the last.
105
But real quick, guys, before we explore the next sewer, I wanted to let you know we just added the original BFP hots onto the website.
106
We've been out of stock for a while, so make sure to go get one while you have the chance.
107
You can click the QR code on the screen, or you can just go to bassfishingproductions.shop.
108
But with that out of the way, let's keep going.
109
In the next few sewers, I didn't really find anything except a bunch of these crawfish, but I knew there had to be crazier animals in these sewers.
110
They were just really hard to catch.
111
So in sewer number 25, I decided to place a fish trap.
112
If there's anything down here, we're definitely gonna catch it in the trap.
113
All we have to do now is wait.
114
So I gave it a few hours, and when I went to pull it up, the trap was super heavy, and I spotted a ton of fish inside.
115
Oh my gosh, you guys, look at this.
116
There's so many fish in here.
117
The first fish out of the trap was this one, which was called a dolphin catfish, and they are extremely rare.
118
But as I searched through the trap some more, I came across something even rarer.
119
Well, look at this fish, you guys.
120
It's all yellow.
121
I'm pretty sure this is an albinos and odontus catfish, and it is the biggest one I have ever seen.
122
But as crazy as that was, we still had a bunch more fish in the trap.
123
So I kept digging through it, and I managed to find this.
124
You guys, I actually think that this is a moray eel, and if you didn't know, they're usually found in saltwater.
125
However, they're also able to live in freshwater, so this is a really cool find.
126
Things didn't stop there, though.
127
As I looked through the trap some more, I was able to find three more fish, including this big red pike, an albino clown nightfish, and this crazy-looking mystery fish.
128
If you know what it is, comment down below.
129
And now that the fish trap is empty, it's time to continue our search and explore some more sewers.
130
And, well, we have a lot more to go.
131
We found our next crazy creature in sewer number 28, and it was called a vampire shrimp.
132
Now, what's really cool about these guys is they're known for being able to change colors just like a chameleon, but since this one was scared, he wasn't really changing colors,
133
so I just added him into a bucket and we kept going.
134
In the next few sewers, I didn't find anything except a bunch of trash, but as I took a look in sewer number 33, I noticed something crazy.
135
You guys, this sewer is completely dried up, so I guess it's safe to say that we're not gonna find anything in there.
136
Wait, did you hear that?
137
What was that?
138
Oh my gosh!
139
You guys, there's a massive frog in here!
140
I actually think that he's stuck in there.
141
There's no way for him to get out, but it's too deep for me to reach him.
142
I think the only way for me to save him is to crawl in there.
143
Oh god.
144
So that's exactly what I did, and luckily I was able to grab him.
145
And after a closer look, I realized that this was a big American bullfrog, and it was the first frog of the video.
146
However, it wouldn't be the last, because in sewer number 37, I found this.
147
Oh, look at this, you guys!
148
We got another frog!
149
This one is a little bit smaller, and it's definitely a different species, but I have no idea what kind it is.
150
I've never caught one of these before.
151
So if you know what it is, comment down below.
152
Woo!
153
After that, I found a couple baby fire eels and this tiny little knife fish in sewer number 39.
154
But then things got a lot crazier when I took a scoop in sewer number 40.
155
Oh, I think I got something There's some trash right here, but I know I saw something move.
156
Oh, there it is right there Oh my gosh, is that a crawfish?
157
I think it is you guys, but i've never seen one like this Now usually when you find colorful crawfish they're blue white or even red,
158
but this one is literally rainbow It's got like every color possible This was a super rare find
159
and because of that I decided to take a few more nets in the sewer to see
160
if I can catch any more.
161
Holy cow!
162
Are you seeing this?
163
Look at the size of this crawfish!
164
It's freaking massive!
165
And it's purple!
166
I've never seen a purple crawfish before!
167
I'm actually kind of scared holding him right now.
168
These claws are massive and if he pinches me with those that is not gonna be good.
169
Look at him compared to the other crawfish you guys.
170
He's like three times his size.
171
I told you this thing is a monster.
172
I added them both into a bucket and I moved on to the next sewer, which was sewer number 43.
173
And after a couple nets, I came across one of the deadliest animals so far.
174
Oh my gosh, is that what I think it is?
175
You guys, I'm pretty sure that we just got ourselves a baby Abba Abba knife fish.
176
Now if you don't know what this is, basically these fish are known for being one of the deadliest fish in the world.
177
They are extremely intelligent and highly aggressive.
178
So aggressive that they literally need to be by themselves
179
or they'll kill any other fish in the aquarium I don't think i've ever seen one this small though.
180
That is so cool Now because these fish are
181
so aggressive I decided to add them into a bucket all by himself
182
and I kept going Next was sewer number 56
183
and it was filled with garbage and well as I was removing it this happened Wait a minute.
184
Is that something moving in here?
185
Hold on you guys.
186
I'm pretty sure I just saw something move in this bottle Wait, what is that?
187
You guys, look at that, there's something coming out of here.
188
It's literally stuck in the trash, oh my gosh It looks like some sort of eel.
189
Oh, we got him.
190
Oh my gosh.
191
That is so crazy I cannot believe
192
that you guys see this is why you don't litter We
193
literally just pulled an eel out of a bottle at least
194
I thought it was an eel You see as I took a closer look I realized
195
that this was a siren and they are extremely rare
196
and you can see right here that they have these little feet to help and walk around, which is just so cool.
197
But as crazy as that was, we still have so many sewers left to explore and the animals are just gonna get rarer and rarer.
198
The next sewer I found something in was sewer number 78 and it was something completely unexpected.
199
What the heck is that?
200
Oh, wait a minute, that's a stonefish, watch out!
201
You guys, there's one thing I haven't told you about this sewer yet
202
and that's that the water in there is actually brackish.
203
And well, that is the perfect habitat for the stonefish, which is actually the most venomous fish in the world.
204
So I carefully put them into a bucket and I moved on.
205
And in the next few sewers, I found a bunch of these little tadpoles, but they weren't just any tadpole.
206
These guys were actually going to turn into a species of tree frog.
207
And I know that because literally right next to the sewer was a bunch of tree frogs.
208
So yeah, that's how I knew that.
209
Now, at this point, we were getting closer and closer to sewer number 100.
210
But for now, I opened up sewer number 85 and I found this.
211
Oh God, that's a snake you guys, and it's a lot bigger than the first one.
212
And as I got a closer look, I realized that it was a corn snake.
213
And, well, corn snakes don't live in water.
214
So I'm guessing he fell down here and now he's stuck, which means that we need to save him.
215
Come on, buddy, I'm trying to save you.
216
Oh, there we go.
217
We got him, you guys.
218
Oh my gosh.
219
As I pulled him up, I realized just how big this snake really was.
220
And, well, he was not happy.
221
Okay, guys, he's looking right at my face right now.
222
This is a little scary.
223
I think he wants to bite me.
224
This is not good.
225
I decided to just let him go, and I moved on to sewer number 90.
226
Now, when I opened up the lid, I noticed that there was an entire family of cockroaches inside, and I've literally never seen this many roaches in my life.
227
There had to be hundreds in there.
228
Oh my gosh.
229
Okay, yeah, let's just close that up.
230
After that, in the next few sewers, I found a baby bicher and this crazy-looking mystery fish.
231
But then, it was finally time to explore sewer number 100, which was the biggest one out of all of them.
232
Right away, I pulled something up with my net, and at first, I thought it was a trash bag, but then I realized that it was a massive snake skin.
233
You have got to be kidding me.
234
This is not a snake skin.
235
There's no way.
236
This is literally like 10 feet long.
237
Now, there's only one snake in Florida that's that big, and that is the Burmese python.
238
And well, because we found it skin in the sewer, there's a good chance the actual snake could be in there too.
239
So I started netting around, but sadly, after taking a bunch of scoops, there was no sign of the snake.
240
However, I did catch something else, and it was even crazier.
241
Oh my gosh, you guys, is that what I think it is?
242
We caught an axolotl in there, and it is massive!
243
This was literally the biggest axolotl I've ever seen.
244
I didn't even know they could get this big.
245
And luckily, I was able to save him and remove him from this polluted sewer, where he probably would have died if it wasn't for us finding him.
246
That is definitely the craziest animal that we found in this video.
247
However, this snakeskin tells us that there's still a bunch more animals in these sewers.
248

Also, make sure to go check out the merch at bassfishingproductions.shop.
250
But for now, I'll see you guys in the next one.
251
Peace out.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
