151
Dude.
152
Okay, what are we going to do with this?
153
We gotta decide right now.
154
Do we take it out?
155
Because he's like eating a little bit?
156
I think we should take him out because I don't know.
157
I don't want him in here eating the fish in here.
158
There aren't any left.
159
I think there's still bluegill in here because we saw that one.
160
There's like something down there swimming.
161
There's small fish left that he could easily eat, so...
162
We don't want him eating those.
163
Yeah, let's try to put him just back at the lake maybe?
164
Yeah, let's dump him over in the pond here.
165
Yes.
166
Oh god dude, oh Jesus Oh.

I don't want to just put my hands right in front of him.
183
You're insane dude.
184
Alright, we're gonna take this thing over to the pond.
185
I'm just gonna dump them off.
186
Yeah, we can let him go down here probably.
187

189
- There's so many little bass down there.
190
- See, like right here maybe?

192

194
Oh my god.
195
Guys, Guys, name this species of snake in the comments below.
196
I don't know if it's like a Like a python or a water moccasin or a water snake.
197
Oh my god, you see that?
198
Look, look.
199
Look at his belly.
200
There's like a lump.
201
He's been eating fish.
202
Look at that.
203
He's got a huge lump in his belly.
204
Dude, I think he ate one of the bluegills.
205
That's why he's swimming all weird.
206
Dude, I think he's coming back towards you.
207
Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing.
208
I'm gonna stay that close.
209
I gotta get out of here.
210
You're afraid of those things?
211
How would he be that close?
212
What are you doing right now?
213
Alright guys, we're gonna test.
214
We got this little swimbait on.
215
Literally anything in here would eat this.
216
It's so small.
217
We're going to test out and see if there's any fish left in here.
218
I'm able to come up on the bottom and eat this.
219
Okay.
220
Get a shot right here.
221
See that. That was a fish.
222
I would eat it.
223
Alright, we're going to cast a little bit.
224
What is that?
225
What is that?
226
All right.
227
not really it's in that dark area Thank you.
228
Thank you.
229
Look, see that?
230
Right over there.
231
You guys can't see that.
232
Oh, I can see that.
233
You can't really see it through the camera.
234
I got one, I got one!
235
Dude I got one, I got one!
236
It's a sickling!
237
It's a cichlid, dude.
238
I didn't - I had no idea there were cichlids left in here.
239
Come here.
240
Come here, boy.
241
Got him.
242
Wow.
243
Okay.
244
So still fish in the abandoned pool guys.
245
That is a beautiful Mayan cichlid right there.
246
We got the beautiful Dead snake head left too.
247
I had no idea there were snake heads in here.
248
but anyways we got them on the swim bay i told you anything would eat them all right
249
so i think we should let these fish go uh
250
because these people might come
251
and put chlorine in here again see those pipes over there That's what they were using to put chlorine in here, but it looks really green.
252
So I think they stopped doing that, but just in case they do.
253
We're gonna let this guy go in the pond so he doesn't die.
254
- Thanks, mate.
255
I don't know, I saw that.
256
Thank you.
257
Alright everyone, leave a name for this beautiful Mayan cichlid in the comments below.
258
We're gonna let him go.
259
There he goes, look at him.
260
off into his new home.
261
He's got a huge pond now instead of that tiny little hoo.
262
You guys cannot see that, but there's a dark spot down there.
263
I think it's a big fish.
264
Alright everyone, hope you enjoyed the video.
265
We caught that snake out of the pool.
266
I think he was eating those bluegills.
267
because I saw a huge lump in his stomach.
268
But we discovered today that there are still fish in the abandoned pool.
269
We saw that dead snake and I don't know how.
270
I don't know how he died or how he got in there.
271
I think he was always in there.
272
We just didn't see him.
273
But we also caught that cichlid.
274
That was a pretty big cichlid too.
275
I don't know how we missed him.
276
There's a lot of spots in the pool where the fish could be hiding, where we couldn't see him.
277
There's like dark spots where they could be.
278
So I think that's where they are.
279
That's why we can't see him really.
280
We definitely also saw a lot of bluegills and other cichlid type stuff swimming around in the pool.
281
We could see him.
282
We can see their shadows coming up.
283
They're definitely still in there.
284
We're gonna have to keep trying to get them out guys.
285

Practice Tips
When practicing your speaking skills with this video's transcript, use shadowing techniques to enhance your learning experience. Begin by listening closely to the phrases and sentences spoken by the creator, then repeat them immediately after hearing them. This method is known as shadowspeak and is beneficial in developing your pronunciation and rhythm.
The video features a casual, conversational tone with a mix of excitement and curiosity. To effectively use your shadowing app, pay attention to the varying speeds of speech. The speaker uses pauses, especially when expressing surprise or excitement; these moments are critical to mimic. Try to replicate not just the words, but the emotions behind them. This practice not only helps with pronunciation but also enhances your ability to convey emotions in conversation.
Additionally, you may want to replay certain sections multiple times, focusing on difficult phrases. This will ensure you are comfortable with the vocabulary and flow. Engaging regularly with such authentic content on a shadowing site will significantly improve your English speaking skills, preparing you for real-life conversations and exams like the IELTS.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
