Hand Fishing For EELS in MUD HOLES!

It's so slimy! AHH! Oh my god! Oh, I got him. AHH! It's some kind of goby. It's going back further. Wow, really? Oh my god, he's going back further. AHH! It bit me! AHH! This thing just freaking bit me! What is up, GFB Nation? Welcome back to another awesome video, guys. Today, we got another fish trap, and we're going to be trying to catch eels in the wild. I spotted eels here while I was snakehead fishing, and I had no idea that eels like this were in the wild here in Florida. Guys, we're out here snakehead fishing at night, and we see an eel. He's going to cast now. Oh, oh, he's moving! He's moving! Oh, I'm taking my shoes off. I'm getting ready. Oh, no! No! And I looked it up, and sure thing, eels are native here in Florida, and I think they're the same type of eels that we saved from Food Town. So, we got a fish trap, and we're at a spot where they are at, and we're going to see if we can catch them. We're going to get the nastiest bait possible, and we're going to load it up in this fish trap. And this is where I saw the one that night while I was snakehead fishing. It was a giant eel. We tried cast netting it, but it got away. So, we know they're here. I think this is our only way of catching them, right? Because, like, they're so slimy, I don't know how else we would get them. I sent Rob on a mission to a store. I said, get the nastiest looking bait, the smelliest bait that you can find to put in this trap. Ew, what the? What? Shrimp balls? That is disgusting. Ew, dude. Shrimp balls and squid balls? Rob got shrimp balls and squid balls. I don't know what that even means, dude. Like, shrimp balls, squid balls. Listen, listen, I was just thinking. Where did you get these, dude? Don't worry about it, Bobby. Ew. Rob, I think you should taste test it, bro. There's no way. Okay, like the video, subscribe to our channel. No way, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, no, no, no. Rob, what is wrong with you? You know what? For BFP Nation, there's no way. Ew. I guess that's a good sign. If it's bad for us, I'm sure the eels will love it. So, guys, ready? Check it out. We got our umbrella fish trap. Oh, that's sick. Boom, look at that. That's perfect. That is a fish trap right there. The fish go in, in this case, the eels, the little slimy eels. Now that they're in here, they can't, like, figure out their way out because the holes get more narrow. Should I just dump them all in there? Yeah, bro. Because, I mean, I don't want them. I think we might have to throw the fish trap out after. Yeah. We're going to go with the strip balls today, see how that works. If we don't catch anything, you'll never see this video, and we're going to go try the squid ones, but. All right, so, guys, there's a giant pipe right here, big culvert. I feel like that's where the eels are going to be. So, I'm just going to dump it right there. This is a big fish trap, too, guys. We might actually catch something different. We might actually catch some crazy fish in here. There's a lot of exotics. We're in that area of South Florida where we could catch literally anything, and it wouldn't be crazy. So, we're going to let it marinate, and then, hopefully, we get ourselves some eels because I want to feed one to the red tail. Go down there and leave a like for good luck and also for Rob eating the freaking squid Yeah, please. For suffering. I would never do that. But, yeah, hopefully, the eels like it. That's all I got to say, guys. So, we're going to give this trap some time, and we will see you probably later tonight. Okay, guys, well, we just went to check the trap. It's, like, four hours later, and, Rob, someone stole the trap, right? It's gone. The trap is gone. So, we had to think of a different game plan because I only have one fish trap. So, we were brainstorming, and then, Rob goes, you know what? This lake actually connects to a little creek, and right now, it's really dry because we haven't had much rain. So, what we're going to do instead, guys, is we got some lights, and we got our big net, and we're going to go search around this little creek and see if we can net some stuff up. Rob says there's a lot of cool stuff in this little creek, so it should be a fun little adventure, guys. Here we go. It's right here. Oh, my God. Dude, already. Off the back. Come here. Yeah, I think they can barely see it. It's a giant gar. Oh, God. Dude, he's big. Yeah. Oh, I got him. Yes. Dude, that is a toad. Dude, it got in my mouth. Nice gar, bro. Oh, my gosh. Look at this, guys. You know what? Screw the fish traps. Yeah. Thanks for stealing my trap because I just caught a gar now. Oh, my God. There's so many bugs. What could we do with this gar? We could, like, eat them. Yeah, bro. Gar catch and cook. Right? I don't know what we're going to do with a gar, so we're probably going to end up letting him go. But that's still really cool. I heard if you hold it by its mouth. Oh, no. Stop it. Great. Now I have gar hands. Guys, you don't want to have gar hands. They're slimy. It's nasty. Wow. Look at the teeth. That's a gar right there, guys. I think we should let this guy go, right? For sure. All right. Bye, Mr. Gar. You can't even see him. Oh, there he is. Bro, are you good? What is he doing? I think it's so shallow that he can't actually swim. Is it actually that shallow? It's got to be. Guys, if he's still like that when we're leaving, we'll help him out. Well, now I have... Yo, Rob, give me some, bro. Bro, I am so good on that. Give me some, bro. All right, you guys. Well, hey, we make things work. Fish trap got stolen. Now we're exploring a little creek. Just caught a giant gar. Let's keep going, Rob. Oh, my God. What was that? Oh, big fish. Oh, my God. There's a snake. Where? Right in front of you, dog. Really? Right there. Oh. Bro, that looks like it might be... I think that's venomous. Oh. For real? Yeah. Oh, God. I don't like snakes at all. I got you, bro. Get him. Get him, Rob. This thing is... Oh, he dipped. He dipped. Oh, my God. Do you get anything? Oh, my God. Ah! Rob? Yeah? There's an eel. First a snake, now an eel. No, this is an eel. There he is. Oh, what was that? It's so muddy, bro. We're like in their home territory. We just saw a snake, and I'm pretty sure I just saw an eel as well. I have no idea what's going on, but there's a lot of creatures, a lot of stuff in this little creek. Let's keep going, Rob. You do actually have to be careful, because I'm like really certain that snake was venomous. I'm really certain. Python would be cool. Bro, look at this. There's a hole. There's a hole? Look. Look at this hole. There's got to be something in there. Look at this. That's got to be like a hole, like a pleco or something dug out. Oh, my God. Rob, I'm not even kidding. Look. Hold on. Look, look, look. Oh, my God. That's an eel. Yes, we found one. Perfect. Dude, that's an eel, right? Is that not a snake? Yeah, that's definitely an eel. It's for sure an eel. It looks too slimy to be a snake. I don't know, dude. Look at the head. That's a triangular head. Is that an eel? We just found an eel hole. Is that normal? I've heard that they definitely do make holes, but this is probably a hole made by like a pleco or something. That's what I'm saying, because that's a big freaking hole. I don't know how you made that. Yeah, this is a big hole. All right, guys. We just stumbled upon our second eel of the night. The first one, I doubt you even saw, but this one. Oh, dude. Oh, my God. He's moving. This is so creepy. I don't like this. Oh, he's moving. Look. Oh, he's going back. No. Look, he's going all the way around. Look. I'm going to grab him. It's so slimy. Get him. Look, there's his head. Get him, bro. He's so slimy. Oh, my God. He's got an eel. Oh, look at that. Dude, that is insane. Nice little swamp eel, bro. We got an eel, guys. Dude, I've been trying to catch one for so long. Do you think your redtail would eat it? Oh, my. Dude, I think he would, honestly. Dude, it's so strong. Like, I can't even stop him from moving. I'm going to use two hands. Guys, we got ourselves an eel. Oh, my gosh. It's like I'm holding a snake. That is insane. He is so strong. I wish you could feel his power right now. Is that a big one? That's a freaking... That's a big eel, bro. That is a pretty big one, guys. Dude, it's just mud. Look at this, you guys. I'm pretty sure eels could breathe, so... Yeah. Oh, that is true. I think they do breathe oxygen, you guys. Oh, my. There he goes again. I guess we got to start looking in those holes along the bank, guys. Is that another hole? Rob? Yeah. That is another hole. There's a ton of plecos in here, and they dig into the sidewalls to breathe. Okay, I think we just found the honey hole, guys. This is how we're going to catch these eels. We're just going to look in these holes. But we got one, guys. Go down there. Leave a like. This is insane. We actually just caught an eel. Oh, my gosh. All right. We're going to keep searching around this little creek, see what else we can find, and see if we can catch some more eels. Rob, this one's dried up, dude. Is it, like, completely? That's, like, a little hole. That kind of looks like an eel hole, but I don't see any eels in there. No. It's a small hole. We're going to keep searching, guys. Dude, another hole. There's so many. Dude, the plecos put in work. Look at that. Oh, they're everywhere. Dude, there's holes all along the bank. Dude, there's holes along the whole bank. Let's see if there's something in this one. Make sure there's no gators. Oh, my God. Wait. Wait a second. Oh, Rob, come over here, bro. Now, I say we got something because, not because I saw something, but this stirred up. This stirred up? This was murky. Like, inside of that was murky water. And the rest is clear. We can't see anything. I think you're just going to have to stick your hand in there, bro. Dude, I don't like that idea. I think it's a great idea. What if it's a snake hole? I eat squid balls. How about that? You stick your hands in holes. Is it a good idea if I get bit by a water monster? That would go viral, bro. Oh, my God. Wait a minute. Right here. You see something? Right here. It's a stick. There's something in it, though. Like, I'm not even kidding because it got murky. Oh, I don't like it. I really don't want to stick my hand in there. You know you got to do it for the fans. Dude, you got half your arm. Oh, my God. It goes so far back, Rob. Oh, we're taking a turn. Oh. Oh, wait. Oh, my God. I feel it. You got something? Oh. I hear it. You hear it? Ah! I don't like this. You felt something? Oh, my God, Rob. Ah! What is it? What? Oh! What was that? Dude, I got him. What? Oh, my God. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Bring it over here. Rob, Rob. What? What the heck is that? Guys, right now, you got to comment down there. What the is that, bro? We have to get him in a bucket real quick. This is so cool, Rob. I literally don't even know what that is. I don't either. This is a rare fish, I think, because I've never even seen it. Neither has Rob, and Rob is a fish guy. You guys know this. Rob is a little. Rob is a little fish nerd. I am a fish nerd. Like I said, it's kind of embarrassing. You know what? I just caught something that Rob doesn't even know the name of, bro. He's never even seen it. Yeah, that's a feat in itself. That's an accomplishment. I have no clue what that is, like, literally at all. And I caught it with my hands, dude. It was, like, so far in that hole. I reached the back of the hole, right? I mean, it was up to here. You guys saw that. I was at the very back. I moved a couple rocks back there, and I just felt him, like, kick. And I started freaking out, and then he started coming out of the hole. Thank God I grabbed him with my hands. At first, I thought it was a molly. I thought it was, like, a tilapia or something. Dude, I thought it was a molly, like a big male molly or something. We're going to keep going, though. Clearly there's some insane stuff in here, Rob. You were right. Thank God this stick is right here, because if it wasn't, he would have just, like, boom, gone forever. Yeah, he would have been gone in the mud. And I would have thought it was a molly. But, yeah, dude, this. There's, like, another little cutoff thing right here. Whoa. Oh, dude. This is definitely an eel hole, Rob. You think so? Yeah, because there's, like, a bunch of little tiny holes. Oh, my God! It's right there! Yes! Dude. It is an eel hole. He just went in one of the holes. Oh, my God. Where did he go? Oh. Oh, I feel him. I feel him. Where did he go? I don't know where he went. I'm so dumb. Yeah. Thank God I have a new change of clothes, too, because I don't want to get my new truck dirty. Rob. I'm not even. He's gone. Where did he go? You know what? I'm just going all in. Yeah, might as well, bro. Oh, God. Oh, my God. Shoulder deep in that. Oh, I feel him. I feel him. I can't go back any further. It's going back further. Wow. Really? Oh, my God. He's going back further. Dude, he's in there. Oh, I feel him. I feel him. I got his head. I got. Oh, my God. There you go. Oh, my God. Another eel, you guys. Oh, my God. It's like a King Cobra. Look at that. Second eel of the night in the same hole as that freaking unknown mystery fish. This is insane. You guys. Oh, you could tell he's been digging with his nose, dude. Yeah. Look at that. That is an eel hole, because I don't know if you guys can see it, but it's a big hole at first. But once you get in there, there's a bunch of little holes. We can't see anything. It's just too muddy. Oh. You can feel what we can't see. Look at my arm, you guys. I was in there, bro. You know what? I'm going to throw this one in the bucket, and I'm going to stick my hand in there again, bro. It goes a long way. Woo. Rob, I think you should give it a try, bro. It's really fun. Dude, honestly, I'm looking at my arms right now, and I think I'm good. Plus, it's your show. It's BFP Nation. Dude, BFP Nation. We're on top, guys. You know what? I'm going to do it again. I'm going to stick my hand back in there. All right. Ready? Yes, brother. All right. We're going to start slow. Okay. Here we go. A minute further. Oh. Oh, dude. What's up, bro? There's a bunch of rocks. I just moved one, and another opening just came up, so it goes back even further. I need longer arms. You're already long as hell, brother. Oh. Rob, I feel him. Ah. Oh, my God. I feel another one. I'm not even kidding. Dude, it's so far back. You've got to pull it out, dude. It's so far back. I can't get him. He needs to come out. Dude, I can't get back any further. I just felt him. Ah. Would you be able to- There he is. I got him. You got him? No, that's his tail. Oh, my God. I got- Oh. Ah. He bit me. Ah. Oh. Ah. This thing just freaking bit me. Get him. Ow. That hurts so bad. Get him again. Look at- Ow. Oh, my God. I think I got it on video. Like, it latched on your finger. Oh, my God. I was not expecting this. Like, I knew there were eels in here, but, dude. Bro, you've never done it like me, though. No. I just walk around with a net, dude. I don't go climbing in holes. Guys, look at me. Look at me. Guys, what the heck? This thing bit me. Look at this thing. I think it's this guy. No, he's nice. Which one of you did it? It was this one. It was this one for sure. This thing bit me. It freaking bit me, guys. That one's pretty big, bro. Dude, it's huge. This is the biggest one, too. He had a grip on me. You saw that? I had to, like, fling him off. Dude, yeah. He had a grip on me. We saw it. Big time, bro. Look at that thing. That's the size of my leg, dude. That's, like, maybe two feet. Honestly, he's pushing it. He's, like, wrapped up now. You can't really tell, but he's freaking huge. Bro, that is crazy. He really bit the hell out of you. Open your mouth again. Let me see those teeth. No, I'm not even kidding. That was, like, a bad bite, bro. He had a grip on me. Oh, there's his mouth. They're, like, lung fish, dude. Oh, okay, buddy. I'm sorry. Listen. I get it. I know why he bit me. I was in his home trying to catch him out, right? The thing was, this is the hole, right? There was an eel all the way in the back. I got him out, and I thought that was it, but I moved a couple little rocks in the back, and it went on even further, and then I found that guy. I touched his tail for a second. That's when I said, Rob, I feel another one. And then I was, like, I can't get him. I can't go back any further. He reached around, and I was, like, oh, I'm about to get him. Grab his head. He bit my thumb. And I was, like, ooh! Yeah, nah, opportunist. Know what I think we should do? What? Keep going. Keep going? Let's do it. Word up. You think this hole is going to produce more? How much further back does it go? Let me give it another go, actually. Bro, we should take one of these sticks and stick it all the way up in there and just see just how far back it goes. I'll just do this. No, it definitely goes further. Oh, my God! It goes even further. I can't even go back further. Yeah, it's just a net. Oh, wow! That's, like, three feet, right? Rob, that is a really deep hole, and it goes back even further. You know what? Screw this hole. Guys, these are holes that these eels have made, so this is actually kind of crazy. We're going to keep walking down the bank, though, see if we can find any more holes. And if we do, you already know, I'm going to stick my hand in there, and we're going to see what we can get. All right, guys, we just found another hole, but it looks like it's dried up. Check it out, Rob. Oh, oh, my God! That scared the crap out of me, Rob. Dude, that's, like, a frozen hole. Something's in there. Look. It's got to be, like, a snake. No, it's a frog, bro. I'm looking at it. Oh! Can you see him? Yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah, they can see him. What are you doing in there? Is that a... Look at him. We got you, buddy. We got you red-handed. All right, well, at least we know there's not a snake in there. Yeah. I mean, I'd much rather it was a frog, though, than a snake. I'm going to grab him. Ready? Yeah. I got him. You got him? I got him. What kind of frog is it? I don't know. Put it in the net. This is the one that always sits by my pond, though. My little pet frog. Ah! That's just, like, a regular... Oh, my God! That's, like, a regular frog. Dude's got some legs on him. All right, well, we just found a frog, too. That's crazy. See, this was a hole made by one of these swamp eels, but it's all dried up now. I don't think there's an eel in there. No, probably not. The frog's in there? There's probably no eel. Yeah, guys, we're going to keep searching. All right, there's another hole right here. It's right next to this pipe. There might... I don't see any eels, but there could be a goby or something in the back. Wait, I think I see something. I think I see something. Oh, my God, I think I see one. You see that? See the little slimy thing in the back? I don't know. That's an eel, I think. Okay, no, it's a rock. All right, guys, I don't know what to say. I didn't think the night could get any crazier, but we just stumbled upon something so rare, I've never even seen in the wild before. Ready, Rob? Look at that. What's going on there, brother? Guys, this is scary. Dude, this is like a horror movie. Yeah, that's scary, bro. That's actually really... I'm actually really uncomfortable right now, and I kind of want to leave. I don't want to leave. He looks like Mooers, Blake's cow. All right, well, he's out of here. Yeah, goodbye, friend. That's right. Yeah, you know who runs this pasture. That's right, bro. Yeah. All right, guys, well, we're back at square one. We just walked down the canal. We saw some more holes, didn't see any more eels, guys. I think this spot calls for a part two. Right, Rob? You sure? We caught the weird thing that's in the cooler right now. We're going to bring that back and probably put it in like a fish tank just until we find out what it is. It could be super rare. The eels are in here. We're going to get them into the cooler as well. I can actually hold them for once now. Yeah. Really? Is this the first one? I think so, bro. Because this one's like really girthy. And I remember the one that bit me. I don't even know. The one that bit me was like insanely girthy. Either way, we have three eels we're going to bring to Pond X, guys. All right, guys. We're finally back at my house. Oh, my God. I can't even talk. I lost my voice. But we got the eels in this bucket. And what we're going to do with them is we're actually going to put them into this pond, which has nothing in it right now. And I'm going to have them in here until we find out what we're actually going to do with them. So there they go. There goes the eels. Oh, my gosh. Look at them. Oh, my God. That is so cool. You can actually see them really well. Look at that one. That one's booking it. Now, I'm doing this because I want you guys to try and decide what we're going to do with them. Option one is we come over here to the predatory pond and we feed them to the giant red-tailed catfish. Or we can release them into Pond X. So guys, go down there, comment what you want to see me do with these eels. Oh, look at these guys. That's crazy. Look at them go. They're swimming. That is crazy, you guys. That one is like, I don't know. That one's having a little party in the little pump. Oh, what's up, dude? Now, guys, we also have that little goby thing. And you guys also need to go down there and comment what species that is, what fish that is. I'm going to put them into a tank. I'm going to end it right here. I hope you did enjoy. If you did, please go down there, leave a like, subscribe if you haven't already. I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.
