In today’s video, I go DEEP in the everglades infested with alligators to try and catch as many cool aquarium fish to bring back for my fish tanks and ponds as possible! We ended up catching THOUSANDS of catfish including a rare albino, a Texas cichlid, a Texas cichlid, a baby gar, and an unknown fish in our fish trap. We took them back and put them into my new fish tank as our new pets!

What the...
Oh my god!
Oh nice!
Dude you caught the whole lake!
That's an albino!
Oh my god!
I have no idea, I've never caught one before!
Oh!
What is up BFB Nation!
Welcome back to another awesome day guys!
Today, as you can tell behind me, we're back
in the Florida Everglades!
We haven't been here in about 4 months and I just realized that
and I was like wow, that's a long time!
So I'm sorry, you guys love the
Florida Everglades content, you've been asking for it
so we're back today!
This is Rob's first time out here actually so he's kind of
scared, he's never even seen an alligator
I'm just kidding! He's never even seen an alligator
really so I said yeah, we'll see a lot of alligators
We're going to be trying to catch a lot of aquarium fish
like we always do out here, there's a lot of cool stuff
and we always seem to find some awesome fish
and we're going to bring them back
for our ponds and tanks of course but
we're probably going to have to dodge some alligators, some anacondas
pythons, fire ants
you know, stuff like that
We did see a giant alligator right here
so it's a little sketchy but hey
we're going to hit a bunch of spots today
here in the Florida Everglades, we have a lot of cool stuff
so let's get going, we got net traps
we got fish traps, we got rods
we got everything so let's see if we can catch
some cool aquarium fish while we dodge some gators
Rob, you ready? Let's freaking go!
Alright guys, so we're at the first spot right now
we're going to check it out, we haven't been here
in a long time but usually there's tons of fish here
we got a dip net, let's check it out Rob
see what we can find
Oh yeah! Oh my god Rob, look at all the fish!
Dude, what in the world?
Look at all the pup! Oh my god!
They're all the way up
Bro, you can hear them from here I think
Get close, get close!
Oh my god!
Bro, why?
I'm so confused
Those are all fish
Bobby, what are these?
Bro, what is going on?
Are those fry?
They're all walking catfish bro
Oh my god, there's so many fish
Rob, look!
What in the world is going on?
You know what? I don't know why we haven't
been here in four months, everybody's just insane
I don't know if you saw that
but there was like a million catfish all up on here
They all swam out though
This is wild!
We need to cast net them
We need to cast net them right now
There's albinos! I just saw an albino
Whoa!
Why bro?
I'm so confused
Right now, they're way too far out for the dip net
We're gonna get a cast net
Dude, you're gonna catch like a thousand in one cast
Look at that! What is that?
It looked kinda like an eel
Wait a minute, there's some crazy stuff here
Okay, let's get the cast net and just
Oh my god!
This is Rob's first time in the Everglades like I said
So he's kinda like freaking out
These are all catfish!
Oh my god, they're going crazy dude!
What is happening right now?
What is going on?
There are some smaller fish
Like down here, you can just barely see them
And then over here
Is just hundreds of these catfish
And if we just sit here, you can listen to them pop
Usually there's a lot of catfish
But I've never seen this many at once
This is insane
Let's see what he can get
I think you got some Rob
You caught a couple I think
Alright, let's see what they are
Oh my god, that's a baby gar!
We need to keep that
Look how cool he is, that line
Look how beautiful he is
We're putting this in your tank with the Oscar
Yeah, that's a good idea
Let's get him in a bucket
We might do a fish trap, there is a ton of fish there
Those are all fish
Let's get this gar in the bucket
That's the only thing we caught too, what are the chances
All the fish out here and we got the prettiest fish
Such a cool gar
This thing is beautiful
He's like golden
He's going to chill in the bucket, we'll get him in the truck
This is awesome guys, we're off to a good start
Check it out guys, there's the first catch of the day
A really pretty gar
We're definitely going to keep him and put him into our tank
With that pretty Oscar we just got
We're out here, we're doing it, we're in the Florida Everglades
Literally in the middle of nowhere
There's like four gars, a pleco, another
There are gar everywhere
Wow
And then you got a pleco right there on the rock
Alright, well I think it's safe to say we're going to catch some really cool fish today
So let's throw that cast net and that school catfish
Try to get like a million, that would be cool
And then we're probably going to do a fish trap right there
Because there's a lot of little fish in the rocks
Look at all of them, there's no way you can miss
Woo
Wait, wait, wait, dude
They just stopped, they all stopped Rob, you spooked them all
Oh, they're back
Welcome back guys
Oh nice
Oh one just like spooked from that
Dude I could see, oh my god
Rob
Dude you caught the whole lake
Oh my god, that's gotta be so
There's an albino
There's an albino Rob
Yes you got him
We just caught an albino catfish
Oh my god
Look at all of them
No
Look at that, there's two of them
That's an albino
Bro you just caught an albino catfish
You just caught an albino
No it's nothing for me
That's crazy you guys
Dump them all in
We gotta find the white one
We have to keep that thing
Dude what did we do, you caught so many
Is that an albino?
That one's like brown right there
All the other ones are black and he's white
We're going to throw him in the cooler
Alright we got our gar and our albino walking catfish
Oh pancakes dude
It sucks because they're all the way over there
But
I definitely got something
You got something?
Some are getting out
I don't even know
Those are all walking catfish
Look at all of them
This one's not even in the net
There's so many in there
That was like a fraction of all of them
Look at all of them down there
We probably got like 20 walking catfish there
In the first throw
Look at all of them
I'm watching out for a gator for you pal
We are in the Everglades so we gotta watch out for
Pythons, gators, all that stuff
Alright guys we have our fish trap here now
We have cat food, we're going to bait it up
And we're going to place it down in these rocks
Because we see so many little fish
And we honestly don't know what they are, we can't tell
So the only way to tell is to catch them
We're going to leave this trap here for a couple hours
We're going to go do our own thing and then we'll come back
And check it, but right now we're going to get
Some cat food in it
Zipper on up
Alright we got it tied to a fishing rod now
So now we can freaking launch this thing
Alright guys we're going to just launch this thing out in the middle
Ready?
Here we go, look at all the fish
3, 2, 1
Perfect, money
We've been here for like a good 20 minutes
And they have not stopped
Look at this, there's millions
They're getting more hyped up
So we're going to leave our rod here, the fish trap is on the end of it
We might go to a different spot right now
Just see what's up, try to net these little fish maybe
But then later we're going to check this fish trap
And see what we got, because dude we're definitely
I have a feeling the trap is going to be like
Overloaded, you know
It definitely might be
Honestly I want to jump in and swim with them
Honestly you shouldn't do that
Because they're 14 foot gators
Dude this is sick
Alright Rob so this place
I'm seeing a little too many people, it's a little too
Crowded
We need to go down a dirt road for like
An hour
Dude that's where people are looking for like fossils
And dinosaur teeth or whatever it's called
Archaeomegalodon
That whole like gravel pit people are looking for
Oh he's peeing actually
Oh he was trying to eat the bird
Dude, you saw that he was trying to sneak up on him
That thing is huge
Rob there's gators everywhere, I think you should do a gator call
You should call them in, ready go ahead
Give it a try
That's a big gator
We're just driving down this dirt road guys
Heading to the next spot and we see a decent sized alligator
That thing is pretty big, what's up buddy
Oh my god
See, now we gotta be careful Rob
You see what I'm saying
If we were next to that and we didn't see him and he just decided to attack us
We're dead
There's a deer
Oh my gosh
Time to check the trap, it's been about an hour
As you can tell, it's hot
I'm sweaty, I'm tired
It's freaking hot out here dude
There we go, we're ready
That water is so tan and rich
Let's check the trap, see what we got
What the heck
Oh dude I think the trap moved
Are you serious
Wait what if a gator has it
I mean I hope not
It was further out before
What if a gator grabbed it
I mean hopefully they didn't
Dude it's so heavy
Dude it would be so unfortunate
If this just popped off
Guys it's so much heavier than it was before
Oh look at all the bubbles
We get anything
Oh Rob
Oh dude we caught so many
Should we drag it to the bank
I can't lift it up
Alright gators please play nice
Grab him Rob
Wow
I'm going to put him in the cooler
Guys we caught so many fish
Look at all the fish in there
Oh my goodness
Oh wow we got lots too
There's little fish, big fish
Ready I'm going to dump them all in the cooler
3, 2, 1
Oh my god
That's all of them I think
Guys look at this
Oh my gosh we caught so many fish
Be careful they got spine
I've been stung by them
Oh there's a jewel cichlid
Look at this
Wow
That's a jewel cichlid right there in the Florida Everglades
That is insane
Guys now a little lesson for you
Pretty much everything right here is invasive
The walking catfish are invasive
Jewel cichlids are invasive
I think the flag fish are native
Yeah they're native
Wow we caught lots of babies too
Those are little baby jewels
Look at that so tiny
Little fry
Look how many there are
Look how pretty that one is
That's a little baby jewel cichlid
Wait come here
There's something in here
I think it's a little gar
Look at this
It's not a gar
Oh my god what is that
It looks kind of like a jaguar
Wait a minute it's right here
Oh my god what is that
That is not a walking catfish
Wow
Is that a pike
I have no idea I've never caught one before
That's insane looking
Look he's got a little blue right there
That's crazy
Oh he's got a big mouth
Look at that
Guys I have no clue what that is
Rob do you know
I think it's some kind of pike cichlid
Look at the line right there
It's got good colors
A pike? Dude I've never caught one before
That is insane
Well we should keep them
Alright we're going to get the bucket full of water
We're going to put him in this one
This is sick
Look at that I've never caught one before
It looks kind of like a jaguar like the face
Guys we have no idea what that is
Rob said it's some sort of pike maybe
Comment down below if you know what that is
But that's really cool we'll probably end up taking him home
They're so slimy though
Stop it
Ow
Ready?
Look he'll bring himself home
There he goes
That's funny
It looks like a baby pike
Look at how many jewels
Look there's a little baby
All those little guys are jewels
Oh my god what is that
Rob
Oh my god it's a Texas
Oh my god
Wow
Holy crap dude
I haven't caught one in so long
Dude we gotta keep that one
100% we're keeping them
I think that's a Texas right?
Looks like a blue Texas maybe green Texas
I don't really know
But I've never caught one in the Everglades
I've heard that they're in here
But I've never caught one myself
That is awesome I'm shaking dude I'm so excited
Ready?
Yep
Time for you guys to go back to your home
Look at that one he took the jump
Later guys
Look at him go
Oh my gosh
This pike thing
Might be native we don't know
But I'm guessing it's probably invasive too
We're gonna get all these guys in the cooler
Get them on the aerator and we're definitely taking them all home
This is sick
So far we have an albino
Looking walking catfish
This beautiful gar
Shout out to Rob's Aquatic
Shout out to Rob's Aquatic for catching them
Catching that beauty
And now we have all these guys
Oh easy dude
We have a little pike looking thing and a Texas Cichlid
Bunch of baby jewels
We're gonna get these aerators on them
If you think we should come back with better gear
And try and just load up and catch literally thousands of these catfish
We're gonna head back to my house
And put those guys into the tanks
Into the ponds
Alright guys we're back from the Everglades
We're here in my room check it out
I finally cleaned the 125
Here's our new Oscar that Rob bought and surprised me
In the little fish treasure hunt
He's doing really good
We got some friends in here too
We have the little Oscar we caught in the sewer
Way back there
There's the redtail in here
The little granulosis which is under there as well
And now we're gonna put this gar in here
The pike looking thing and the Texas Cichlid
Check it out here we go
They're all acclimated
I think the gar is first
Dude this thing is so sick
Look at that stripe
Here we go going into the tank
The mini predator tank
Look at him
He's like no
We think it's a pike we don't know for sure
If you guys know what it is comment down below
This thing is pretty slick
Look at him
I can't wait for him to color up again
Like he was when we caught him
Go be free
Oh that thing is so cool
Look at him dude what is that
I have no clue what that is
I've never caught one before
There's a little goldfish in there
Lastly we got this little Texas Cichlid
Such a cool fish
We're gonna put him in here once he gets a little bigger
We'll put him into the Cichlid pond
Here we go 3 2 1
Oh beautiful
So now we have a little baby Florida Gar in there
We have a Texas Cichlid
And the weird pike
Pike looking thing which just swam into those rocks
Guys now I know I'm gonna make someone
