In today's video, my friends and I go netting in a tiny creek in search for freshwater pufferfish! We ended up catching tons of pufferfish and baby turtles, plecos, crawfish AND MORE! And we also brought back the puffers to put into our backyard pond!

Did you get it? Yo! That is a snapping turtle. Look at his mouth. Look how sick that is.
Oh he puffed up!
What is up BFB Nation? Welcome back to another awesome video guys.
Today we're here at one of our signature tiny creeks. We're looking for something special today.
Now recently Brandon did a video on his channel where he caught some baby puffer fish.
It has been so long since we caught freshwater puffer fish. So we got those in my tank.
They're like, they're really small too. I think they're like little baby puffer fish.
So I was like, you know what? I found a new inspiration to come here and try to catch more puffer fish myself.
But yeah, today we're just going to explore this whole creek. Check it out.
We got so far down to go. We got nets. We got buckets. And yeah, we're going to be netting around.
See what all cool stuff we can catch. Might come across something else. You know, we never know.
Oh yeah! What did you get?
Yes!
Sounds like a crawfish.
Oh yeah, that's a big boy dude.
Alright, I got him. Look at this. We got our little container too.
Go crazy. Look at that. First catch of the day.
Oh! What is that?
Oh! Plinko!
Look how sick that is.
Look at that! Dakota!
Plinko!
Baby Plinko. I am keeping it.
We keep all of them. Are you crazy?
Oh dude, this is starting off good. We got a big crawfish. Little Plinko.
There you go. So graceful.
This is the rundown. Dakota has no idea what we're doing.
That's sick.
Basically, Brandon caught some freshwater puffer fish here recently.
And we're going to be exploring this whole little creek trying to get them ourselves.
We're going to try to one-up them.
Puffer fish are a mystery to me. I don't know where they sit, how to catch them, but we're going to try.
What is this?
You have to look and like, you have to just walk and then see it.
Oh! Hey!
You got one?
Yeah, that's sick.
Plinko!
Dakota, I don't know what to tell you to do, but just look for a puffer fish I guess.
Obviously, they're like running water because they're back there.
I feel like this, look at this. This is like puffer fish territory I feel like, right?
Yeah, like right under those weed mats.
He's catching all my weeds.
This is my trap.
You're just going to leave it there?
Well, check out all these minnows. You have to look.
This is my trap.
Yeah, we got to look closely because these puffer fish are really small.
Your net is bent.
I saw that. What is it?
Look at that!
Yo!
What is that?
All right, we'll keep them.
Oh!
I don't know.
You'll get them.
You had a long net.
You got the net.
Get them!
Did you get any?
Probably did.
He's fast.
You're not fast at all.
Oh!
Yo!
What'd you get?
You didn't see it?
That is the sickest thing I have ever seen, bro!
Where did he go?
He escaped.
Oh my god!
Wait, is that a snapping girl?
I don't know.
Let me see, let me see.
That's a snapping girl!
Follow me, follow me.
There's probably more, right?
Look.
Look how cool that is, you guys.
Wait, look at his...
That is a snapping turtle!
Look at his mouth!
You think so?
No, that's a spiky shell, bro.
See?
I don't know.
No, it's guaranteed, bro.
That's so weird!
He's trying to bite you.
Ah!
Look at our haul already.
This is so awesome.
We got a little baby turtle, two baby flakos, and a big crawfish.
This is turning out so good.
Oh!
What'd you get?
I missed.
Guys, comment down below what kind of turtle this is.
I think it's an orange belly.
He's yellow.
Nah, but look at the spikes.
He's really cool either way.
He's exotic.
Guys, you gotta let us know.
Oh, that's one of the long things.
It's a molly.
Oh, not the molly.
Yeah, I mean, it's right there.
Dakota!
Get that net!
Right here!
Right there!
Under!
Just scoop under!
Hurry!
Under!
Yes, yes, yes!
Right there!
Oh, the net folded!
Oh!
That was actually a puffer fish, bro.
Guys!
Okay, that's a good sign, though.
I saw it.
Dude, it was big, too!
It was like that big.
I'm not even kidding.
That was big to you?
Yes!
That one you caught was small.
Wait, you saw one, right?
It's the same one, I think.
Or there's two.
Just wait.
Just keep an eye out right there.
Slow, slow, slow, slow.
Dude.
No!
This is so annoying, bro.
They keep poking out through the grass, and then they go under, and you never see them
again.
Dude, it blends in right there!
Right there!
Yes!
Oh, my gosh!
You got one?
Yes, I got him.
I saw him.
Black and yellow.
He's puffing up!
Oh, my gosh, I'm shaking.
Yes!
He's underneath the brush right there.
Oh, we got the...
There!
There he is.
We got one.
Oh, my gosh.
That is so cool.
That is so cool, Brandon!
Look at how cool it is!
Oh, my God.
Look at that thing, Brandon.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm freaking out.
Dude, this is so cool.
That's like an adult, maybe.
Yeah, I think so.
Look at how cool he is!
Dude, it has been so long.
It's been so long since I've caught a pufferfish.
We never even looked down here.
That's why.
That's what I'm saying.
See, when Brandon...
It was a complete surprise when Brandon caught the babies, and when we did that, I was like,
oh, my gosh.
There's pufferfish in here.
I got to actually try to find them now.
So many weeds.
They blend in so well.
I was like looking for crawfish.
We were stalking that one.
We saw him poke out, and then he went back in.
We were stalking him for like 30 minutes, and he finally poked out.
Let's go.
I'm going to go.
I'm going to go put this guy in the bucket, and then we're going to keep walking.
Look how cool that is.
So freaking awesome.
Let's go.
Oh, wait.
Wait, what is it?
Quick.
Get the net.
Get him.
I see him.
Get him.
Get him, Dakota.
Yes.
Get him.
Get him, Dakota.
No.
I got him.
No, you didn't.
I think I got him.
No.
Don't make a mess.
Let me empty this bag.
Yeah, don't muck it up.
You saw that, right?
That was a pufferfish.
I saw one.
Just wait.
Everyone stay calm.
He went under here, right?
Yeah.
That's what I think.
Okay.
We're just going to wait here.
We're going to wait here.
He's in here.
Right there.
Get him.
Get him, Bobby.
Get him.
I got him.
Oh, that was fast.
I got him, baby.
I got him, Dakota.
Let's go.
He pointed him out, at least.
Another one.
Two, baby.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
This is so epic, bro.
Two pufferfish.
Okay, guys.
That was the one Dakota missed, but he redeemed himself.
He pointed him out.
All right.
We got that one.
That one was under the patch.
We can walk down now.
Dakota, let's go into the hidden tunnel.
Dude, right there.
I see one.
There's another pufferfish.
Get him.
Get him, Bobby.
Get to that.
He can't get it.
It's right next to the pipe trap.
He's going to go in.
Oh, my God.
Wait.
He's getting in.
Oh, get him.
Chop him.
Dude, that was so sick.
He was in the pipe.
Oh, my God.
Look.
Oh, he popped up.
You saw that?
He popped up.
It was so cool.
Look at him.
Oh, my God.
That's a different one, bro.
We have three pufferfish right now, guys.
Holy.
That's more than me.
Three.
No, you caught three.
Oh, I did?
Yeah, I think so.
I thought I caught two.
Look at this, you guys.
Three pufferfish already.
Look at them.
That one's different.
Look at that one.
That one's a different pattern.
I don't know what kind of puffers these are, guys.
You got to come up here.
Dude, and these, yeah.
Oh, and the baby turtle.
I forgot about this little guy.
Look how cool that is.
Whatever.
This is such a freaking successful day.
I love the one with the stripes.
Which one?
It reminds me of a Mustang.
Look, these two are the same, I think.
Yeah, those two are the same.
Those two are the same.
Where's the other one?
Oh, there he is down there.
He's hiding.
Dude, this is so cool.
All right, guys.
We're headed home now.
It's about time.
Yo, check it out.
Check it out.
Let's get the haul for the day.
Oh, yeah.
Get the haul.
We got two of those puffers.
Those are the same, I think, right?
Ew.
One of those puffers.
We got two alien fish, two baby alien fish.
Where are they at?
Oh, that's orange.
Here.
Do the thing.
Wait, look at this one.
Look at that.
You guys, we got what we were coming for, and wait, where's the turtle?
Oh, what?
Oh, he's hiding.
Dude, that scared me.
I was like, where's my turtle?
Little tiny turtle.
You guys got to drop some names, drop what kind of turtle it is.
We're taking him home.
We'll see you guys back at my house.
Guys, check it out.
We're back at my house.
We got the puffer fish, the turtle, everything we caught today in the tiny creek.
We're here at Bruiser's Pond.
Now, Bruiser's Pond has been empty for a long time.
All we have in here is that little goldfish down there, actually.
He looks sad.
Yeah, he's sad and lonely.
So, we're going to put all the puffer fish in here, actually.
I think that would be a really cool idea.
I'm going to renovate the pond, get some plants, you know, all that cool stuff in the future,
but look at that.
I think the puffer fish would look sick in there, so here they go.
Number two.
Hi, baby.
Oh, he popped up.
Last one.
Look at this.
So cool.
Oh, that's a nice dog treat.
Bye.
There they go.
Look.
All right, look at that.
Turtle.
That's a baby turtle.
We're going to put him in here because, look, he can go up there on the little tarp.
He can go up on the rock.
This is perfect.
There you go, buddy.
We're going to throw him in.
Throw the flaco again.
Why not?
Oh, you have to be quicker than that.
Oh, got him.
Flaco, going in.
Some new additions for Bruiser's Pond.
Now, let's feed the rest to the predators.
Who's going to eat the crawfish?
Place your bets in the comments right now.
Oscar.
I want the red turtle.
I want Blaze to eat it.
Come on, Blaze.
Blaze, up.
Up here, Blaze.
Look at Oscar.
Come on, Blaze.
No.
Watch behind you.
Come on, Blaze.
Watch.
Come on up.
Watch it.
Blaze, come on.
Let me feed the other one.
Here he comes.
Come on, Blaze.
Come on, baby.
There you go.
Up.
Come on.
He's scared.
He doesn't like the crawfish.
He doesn't like the crawfish, I guess.
We got some training to do.
Oh, my God.
That was so lame.
Wait, wait.
It's still there.
Not the Oscar.
He's just riding the wall.
He ate it.
Wait, wait.
Show him.
Oh, he sees it.
No, he doesn't see it.
He still ate it.
I got one.
That's the jewel.
I got two.
That's the jewel.
Ready?
Straight in the middle.
Oh, peacock on it.
Drop.
Peacock.
Peacock is so sick.
It's fast.
Look.
There's the shovel nose back there.
The red top.
Bro, this pond is looking so good.
You're a good boy.
Jealous.
That's a good boy.
Brandy's jealous.
That's a good girl.
Guys, successful day.
We caught puffer fish.
We caught little turtles.
Caught a lot of other stuff.
Ending it here at the cichlid pond.
Check out all the beautiful cichlids.
Dude, I freaking love the cichlids.
They look so good.
If you did enjoy, please go down there.
Leave a like.
If you want to see a part two, go in the back.
Catch more puffer fish.
Let me know.
But yeah, guys, I'll see you in the next one.
Peace out.
