In todays video, I place a fish trap in a hidden tunnel and leave it for 24 hours! I ended up catching tons of exotic fish like baby clown knife fish, jaguar cichlids, plecos, crawfish, and tons of baby snakeheads

If we catch something cool, we're going to probably put it in one of our ponds or our tanks.
Oh my God, look at the snake heads.
Oh my God.
Dude, we need to catch those.
Bro, they got babies.
Dude, call it out the baby clown.
Oh.
Oh!
We got one!
Ready?
Oh.
Back, back.
Got him.
What's up, DFA Nation?
Welcome back to another awesome video, guys.
Today, we have another fish trap video, but today we're doing a 24-hour fish trap.
You guys have been asking for a 24-hour fish trap for a long time.
We haven't been doing a lot of them because, you know, it's a lot of work.
I mean, it takes 24 hours to put the fish trap in the water.
We always catch really cool stuff in it when we do.
So today, we're at one of my favorite spots.
We catch clown knifefish here, peacock bass, snake heads, Oscars, all these crazy exotic
fish.
And today, we're going to throw a fish trap in here.
We've never done a fish trap here, too.
So we have a little piece of tilapia.
Let's stick it right in the fish trap.
Oh yeah, dude.
That is smelly.
That's going to attract all the fish.
So we're actually going to be placing this fish trap in this tunnel over on the golf
course.
I've always wanted to put a fish trap there, and the only problem is it's on a golf course
and there is a ton of golfers.
So we're going to have to run over there, sneak in, throw the fish trap in the tunnel,
and then come back tomorrow and see what we got.
So let's go for it, guys.
Let's go place this trap.
So like always, if we catch something cool, we're going to probably put it in one of our
ponds or our tanks.
It's one of those things we just got to see, you know?
There's a golfer literally right there.
Oh my God, dude.
Oh my God.
Run.
Run, Bobby.
I've never done a fish trap like this, where we're like incognito trying to place it.
We got to pass him, dude.
We got to go on the other side of the golf course, I think.
I got the shades on, dude.
Run.
Run to catch him.
Zigzag.
He can't see us.
Oh, don't find us.
Yo, Bobby, if anyone asks us, we're filming a documentary.
Okay, yeah.
There's the tunnel.
Check it out, guys.
Oh my God.
Look at the snakeheads.
Oh my God.
Dude, we need to catch those.
Bro, they got babies.
They definitely have babies.
They're a spawning pair for sure.
Dude.
Oh, dude.
There's bubbles.
There's definitely babies.
Do you see any?
No, she bubbles them.
Oh, yeah.
The parents booked it.
They just left their children, bro.
All right.
Well, I mean, we have a fish trap.
If there are babies, maybe we'll cast them in this trap.
So, we just saw a massive pair of spawning snakeheads and a massive peacock bass.
They're both on beds.
They both might have babies.
There's also a ton of clowns in here, a bunch of other stuff.
Oh my God.
Look.
I'm not even kidding.
Okay.
A clown just shot out.
It's just insane.
We're seeing so much action right now.
Okay, guys.
Enough talking.
Let's get this fish trap in the water.
This is the tunnel.
We've always wanted to put a trap here, and we just never have.
So, here we go, you guys.
Where do you think I should put it?
Just like right there?
Yeah.
There is a little current, so I don't know if it's going to drift away.
I don't think so.
It's going straight down.
We're going to leave our rope here.
Here.
Let's put the rope right there.
Perfect.
When we come back tomorrow ... Oh my God.
She's calling.
Really?
You guys, we're coming back tomorrow.
There's a golfer right there.
She's calling security or something.
We're out of here.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
All right, you guys.
It is the next day, and we're here at the spot we put our fish trap.
It was here overnight marinating, dude.
The thing is, there is golfers literally everywhere here today.
We might have to be a little sneaky here.
We might have to just run over there, grab the trap, and dip, but yeah, guys.
We're going to go make our way over there, hopefully without getting kicked out.
All right, guys.
We got our bucket in case we catch anything cool.
It's really cool.
I'll show you guys the actual bucket.
Dakota made it.
There's an aerator in it.
We have this in case we catch anything cool.
See you, guys.
We're waiting right here.
I just called for security.
They're right behind you.
They're everywhere, bro.
That's where our fish trap is.
We can't get it yet.
You're not allowed to fish around the green.
Oh, no.
It's fine.
We're doing a documentary.
You're not allowed to fish around the green.
Oh, no, but we have exclusive access for the doc.
The documentary is for the Fishing Channel.
We got clearance from Becky.
Becky over at the headquarters, the pro shop.
All right, guys.
These golfers finally passed it behind us now.
They just passed, so we got a little bit of time.
There's more golfers coming right.
Okay, we just got to go.
Go, go, go, go.
We got a short window to check the trap.
There's golfers right there.
Oh, God.
All right, here we go.
Pull up the trap.
Where's the rope?
Oh, it's right here.
Trap's still here.
Oh, my God.
We got snakehead fry.
No way.
Yes.
We got the snakehead babies.
What else?
Jaguar.
Bro, there's a freaking jag in there.
Let me just dump everything in real quick.
Oh, dude, there's a big fish right there.
Oh, my God.
There's jaguar, snakehead babies.
Oh, my God.
So many fish.
Look at all of them.
Oh, my God.
Dude, Cody, that's a baby clown.
You got a clown?
There's a baby clown in there.
No way.
Yes, I'm not even kidding.
Where's the clown?
Hold on.
I'm trying to get over here.
Right there, right there.
Oh, my God.
We got a clown.
Oh, my God.
I'm so happy.
No way.
We need more water.
Is that it?
That's it, I think.
That's all the fish.
Dude.
The gophers are right there.
Look for the clown.
Look at that.
There's a clown, bro.
You see the clown?
Look.
Right there, bro.
That's a baby clown.
Oh, my God.
That's insane.
Dude, there's another one.
There's one more baby clown.
Wait, what?
You got two.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Oh, my.
There is two.
Dude, you got two.
Okay, the gophers are coming right now.
We gotta go.
That's the first time I've ever caught a clown in a fish trap.
We just got two baby clownfish.
This is insane, bro.
I've never caught a clown in a fish trap.
I've never caught a clown in a fish trap before.
I mean, this is our spot for big clown night fish.
Makes sense.
There's obviously babies.
We just never have caught one before.
But check it out.
We have all of our finds in this bucket.
This is a bucket Dakota made.
I'll show you a little bit later, but look at this.
It's like a little compartment.
You got another compartment here, and check it out.
You got an aerator built in going into the bucket.
So these fish are gonna be very healthy, very happy.
We have two baby clown night fish in this bucket.
A lot more jaguars, baby snakeheads.
This is insane.
We gotta get out of here.
Dude, there's gophers right there.
Look.
There's gophers coming.
We gotta go.
Look at the crawfish.
He's trying to cut my pump right here.
Oh!
Dude, check this out.
Okay, we got gophers.
We barely dodged the gophers.
As we were walking back, a gopher like barely missed us.
But check it out, guys.
We have all the finds from our fish trap in here.
As you can tell, that is a baby clown night fish, dude.
That is so small.
He's like this big.
Like maybe two and a half, three inches, I'd say.
He looks like crawfish.
I know.
We got a little crawfish in here.
We got a ton of the baby snakeheads.
Look at these snakeheads, too.
Like, absolutely insane.
Another clown right there.
Look.
One, two.
Look at this, dude.
Look at the size of that jaguar.
I didn't even know jaguars were in here.
We got two, I think.
Yep.
Here's the other one.
Look at that, you guys.
Two jaguars.
A big one and a small one.
Look at the color difference.
I know.
Yeah.
This one's got, you can see the purple.
There's green on his mouth.
This one's a little duller.
That's really cool.
And yeah, a crawfish.
There's a freaking play-doh.
Ah!
Look at that.
A little baby play-doh, too, to end it all off.
Let me get one more shot.
Look at that, you guys.
Baby clown.
Look how sick that is.
I mean, come on.
That is just so sick.
We got two of them.
These are clown knifefish.
Babies.
Very small.
You never see them this small in the wild.
So cool.
Guys, this has been one of the best fish traps in recent history.
I mean, two baby clowns.
That's absolutely insane.
I've never caught, never even seen, like, in the wild, a clown smaller than, like, this
big.
We've never even placed a fish trap here.
So it makes sense, guys.
Now we know we can catch baby clowns.
This is a game changer.
We're going to bring these guys back to my house.
We'll see you guys back at my house.
All right, you guys.
Check it out.
We're back at my house.
We have our bucket full of fish.
Actually, all the fish, except the snakeheads, because we realized snakeheads were illegal
to transport alive.
So we came up with an idea on the spot, and Dakota used the babies to catch the bigger
snakeheads, which I think was their parents, which was cannibalism, and also, is there
a word for that?
Eating your own children?
That was crazy.
That was on Dakota's video.
I don't know when he's going to post that, but he caught peacocks and other snakeheads
on those babies.
But yeah, we brought back the baby clowns, the jaguar, the crawfish.
Wait, where'd the crawfish go?
The crawfish is gone.
He escaped.
And we have a placo.
So what we're going to do first is we're going to put these jaguars here into the paku pond
because there's a lot of cichlids in here and a lot of jaguars, actually.
There's actually a whole colony of jaguars already in here, so hey, dude.
And then there's one more.
This guy right here.
This one's really small.
Yeah, there they go.
The jaguars are now in our pond.
And now what we have left is this placo and we also have this...
In my eye.
It's in my eye.
I'm going to put this little placo in here too, because why not?
And now all we have left is these two baby clown night fish, which I've never caught
before.
I've literally never caught clowns smaller than like this big.
It's absolutely insane.
This is so cool.
I really want to see these guys in a tank, monitor them, make sure they're eating.
So I'm going to put them into my 125 gallon planted tank for now.
Once they get a little bit bigger and they start, you know, becoming a hazard to the
other fish, we're going to move them probably into here.
Probably going to make this like a small predator pond soon, like for little arowanas, little
red tails, all that kind of stuff, and grow them out to put into here.
But yeah, let's go inside and put these clowns into the tank.
All right, you guys, check it out.
We're here at the tank.
I just acclimated the clowns because this water in the tank is a lot colder than that
pond water.
So now it's the same temperature.
We're going to go ahead and try and grab them.
Oh my gosh.
Dude, they are crazy.
They're so cool at this size.
There we go.
Look at that, you guys.
Nice good look at them.
That's our clown knifefish.
Ready?
Going in.
Oh my gosh.
Watch, he's going to go into that crack down there.
I guarantee it.
There he goes.
Oh, he's trying.
He's looking for a place to hide.
All right, let me get the other one in.
Come here, buddy.
Gotcha.
Look at that.
I think this one's a little bigger.
Yeah, that one's definitely a little bigger.
So sick.
Ready?
There he goes.
Oh my gosh.
We have baby clown knifefish in the tank.
That is so cool.
All right, you guys.
It is the next day.
Gave some times for the clowns to, you know, get adjusted to the tank.
We got one right there.
There he is.
It's so cool having a clown knifefish in a tank.
I've never had one in a tank before because now we can actually see how they act and behave.
It's really cool.
You know, we can learn a lot about them having these little babies in the tank.
Like, look at how he's just like sitting right there in the water.
In the middle of the water.
It's so cool.
Now we have two in here.
There was one.
Where did he go?
He just disappeared.
Oh, look.
There's our little skunk, skunk thing.
Our little tetras, gouramis, quarry cats right there.
I just saw one of the pufferfish.
Baby clowns in the tank.
That is so sick.
That was funny.
I literally just came out here and I literally thought Bruce died.
Roll the clip.
Oh my God.
He's alive.
Oh my God.
You scared me that time, Bruce.
He really looked dead.
Oh my gosh.
So yeah, that's how Bruce sits all the time.
Like look at him right now.
He's in the pot.
But like that time he was like laying down like on his side.
I thought he was dead for sure.
Bruce is an old Oscar.
He's like upwards of 15 years old.
And yeah, I'm, it's really sad to think about, but you know, his time is going to come pretty
soon.
I mean, 15 years for an Oscar is pretty long and yeah, he's my favorite fish.
I was panicking there.
I thought he was actually dead, but no, he was just sleeping.
Arowana is doing really good.
There he is right there.
We got him hand feeding.
I'm going to do that big update video.
Like I was telling you guys where I'm going to show every single fish I have soon.
Don't worry.
We're going to show every fish, feed every fish, update you guys on everything that's
going on.
If you did enjoy this video, please go down there, leave a like, drop two names for the
clowns inside.
Subscribe if you haven't already.
I'll see you guys in the next one.
Peace out.
