We heard rumors about a massive monster fish living in this highly secured neighborhood lake, so we decided to risk it all for the ultimate fishing mission.
Did we catch the fish of a lifetime, or are we leaving in the back of a squad car? Watch until the very end to see how incredibly close we came to getting busted!

Let me know in the comments: What's the craziest place you've ever tried to cast a line?
A fisherman spends a week illegally fishing in a retirement community pond to catch large fish while avoiding security. Despite a close encounter with a guard and a failed attempt to land a massive snapping turtle, he manages to catch several fish over the seven-day period, concluding the trip with a final catch on the last day.
I'm bringing him back up, he's surfacing. Here he goes.
This is the best attempt I got.
Oh shoot! He's not fighting! Oh, yes he is!
Alright guys, as you probably saw in the title, I'm here for the next week fishing this pond illegally.
This pond is located in a retirement community.
It's really nice over here, but only the citizens are allowed to fish it.
Let's see if we can catch the big fish they say are in here and avoid security.
I kid you not, as soon as we threw our rods in the water, this happened.
Sure, let's drop that in.
Oh my god, I caught something.
You got something? Actually?
Yeah.
Okay, reel it in. Reel it.
I am.
Okay, good. Oh wow, that's a nice one.
Let's go!
Oh, there you go. Get him all the way in.
Bring it up. Pull it up.
Get him in. Just lift it, lift it.
Oh my god.
Lift it, lift it.
Yo!
Lift him!
I know, I know.
All the way.
Is this the blood strap?
Give it.
Here.
Oh ----!
Nice!
First one, let's go.
First cast.
Here we go.
Oh ----, first cast of the day?
Okay.
But little did we know, we were going to catch plenty more on the first day.
They're in the back.
Because I had set my one friend up on a rod to catch bluegill,
and when he catches one, I'm going to throw it out on my line.
Oh ----!
Keep going, reel it in.
Oh ----.
Good.
That's my first one.
All right, here. You gotta pull him all the way up.
After we got the fish unhooked, it was time to put it on my line and see if we can catch a big one.
Oh, big one.
Okay, now put that.
Yeah, that's kind of brutal, I can't lie.
Brutal way to go out. Respect to the sunfish, though.
And pretty soon it was time to cast him out.
Watch out, here.
Slam it to the ground.
All right.
Now we just let that go out.
He's going to run for a bit.
For nothing.
Oh my!
Wait, is that one?
Oh no, it's probably just a fish.
Over 20 minutes had passed and still nothing was biting, so I decided to put back on my old bait.
We just gotta stay consistent, man.
Well, you just gotta find where they are.
And it wasn't long before something started to bite again.
Oh, something just bit, something just bit.
Here he goes, we got one.
Got him. There's a nice one.
There we go.
That's a nice one.
No, it got off.
Then our worst fears came to reality because security came.
Good, how you doing?
Now, as you know, we're not allowed to be fishing here, so what I said next saved our entire trip.
Yeah, so what's the guard's name?
Georgia?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
We're good.
Now, you might be wondering, who is Georgia?
Well, let me explain.
See, a long time ago, I was riding my electric scooter in the retirement home to go fishing, and they pulled me over.
Now, the security guard was really nice.
So I asked the security guard's name, and when she said Georgia, I made sure to remember it for a time like this.
And because I was so smart to think ahead, we just got out of the situation and I saved our fishing trip.
But then my friend brought up a really good point.
What did she ask Georgia?
Well, then we're f***ed.
And right as I thought we weren't going to catch any more, this happened.
Oh, he's got one.
He's got one.
After that nice catch, we were about to go, but I just wanted a few more casts.
Come on.
These are prime conditions, bro.
Huh?
I said these are prime conditions.
It's something.
Oh, there's one.
You caught it?
There's one.
Come on.
Gotta get him in.
Keep him under.
Oh, my.
It's a nice one.
Come on.
There he is.
Oh, wow.
It's a good one.
There we go.
Nice.
That's a good one.
And after releasing my fish, we decided to pack it up and get ready for day two.
But we got out of the water around 7 a.m., and it quickly began raining, so we had to
pack it up and wait for day three.
There we go.
Right there.
Drop it right in front of him.
See if he'll take it.
As soon as we got into the water, we saw a humongous snapping turtle, and when we dropped
in our lures, he was actually trying to bite them.
He bit it.
Let him take it.
Let him swallow it.
There we go.
We got him.
We got him, boys.
All right.
Here we go.
Okay.
Let's let him really swallow it.
Watch out.
Caleb, get my phone.
Get my phone and record.
By the time my friend had gotten my phone, the snapping turtle had already moved me to
a different part of the pond.
I'm not going to let him go.
I'm going to try to...
Oh, my gosh.
You got to keep it taut, but you can't let him snap it.
Here he is.
He's bringing it in.
Oh, he's going back.
And this thing is nasty, bro.
I'm getting close to getting it.
Don't get too near.
Here we go.
Here he comes.
He's going to surface in a second.
He's fighting, though.
He's fighting like hell.
Here he comes.
I see him.
He's going to surface.
He's surfacing.
Wow.
He's not giving me any slack right now.
He's using all his stamina.
Look at that.
There he comes.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, he can't put away.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
He's going to break my line.
This is unbelievable.
As soon as he sees us, he's going crazy.
No, you're going...
You're getting closer and closer.
Yeah.
But the problem was I only had 10-pound test on my line, and my rod was a really cheap
So, the possibility of banking this turtle was next to nothing.
So, I decided to call my buddy to go bring my net.
But when he was only halfway here, this happened.
Oh, here he goes.
He's...
He's coming out.
Okay, I got to be careful.
He's going to snap it.
No!
After that devastating loss, we packed it up and decided to go out for day four.
But unfortunately, the fish had different plan strokes, because on days four, five,
and six, we didn't catch a single fish at all.
And not only that, but my friends had just went on vacation, meaning I was the only one
left fishing this pond.
But I was determined to catch at least one more on day seven, so I decided to go back
out for one last try.
Is that one?
Oh, no, this one.
There we go.
Finally.
Finally, we get one, bro.
It's been a little...
Oh, wow.
There's one.
It's a nice one.
Let's get him in.
There we go.
Finally, bro.
Get him over here.
Get him back in.
Oh, look at that.
He's blind.
Look at that.
That's actually kind of...
I mean, it's not cool that he's blind, but you can see that eye.
It means he's blind.
All right, let's put him back in.
Here he goes.
Oh.
We're on the board.
We'll take it.
I decided to move to a different part of the pond to see if I could catch one, but I really
wasn't having any luck, and I was considering calling it a day.
After changing to one last spot in the pond and testing my luck, I decided I'd call it
a day and wrap it up.
So, yeah, I spent seven days illegally fishing a retirement pond, and I caught some really
cool fish and made some really good memories.
I'm putting the friend's channels on the screen that I went fishing with, so be sure to subscribe
to them as well.
Thanks so much for watching, and I'll see you in the next video.
