🔴 LIVE - Down there in the swamp With Father Fish and the Tennessee boys.

Hi guys. This is Warm Mineral Springs and it is full of pupfish. This is high alkaline content, very alkaline water. We're going to get down here enough to see. And you can see the fish. It's just really loaded. So we're going to try to get in here. Let me take a look. That's a molly. that's a gambusie looks like mollies i was thinking it might be sheep's head and it might be but so far what we've got is uh molly and gambusia so we're going to try it and see what we can do mollies are cool these are uh florida sailfin mollies which are not a common fish in a hobby shop or a pet shop but they are very cool little fish look at all of them in there Isn't that remarkable? Okay, so what do you want to do? Who wants to get in the water? I don't know how mucky it is. Probably mucky. Well, right here is a step down. Put your hand on that stump and go in. It should be shallow. I don't know how deep the muck is. Right. work my way this way? Well the thing to do is kind of do this piecemeal. James why don't you get in over here and then if the two of you kind of come together you might be able to snag a bunch. Ed could you get some water in the bucket or one of you need you each need a net. Give James the other net. Yeah get a couple inches of water in it. It looks to me like there really are some sheep that in there there's some fat little guys so it'd be nice if there are the mollies kind of uh have a pattern like a stripe pattern or a checkerboard pattern here i'm getting an animal probably let's bring it up here let me look at it looks like mollies yeah what we got is mollies well that's cool mollies they're good if we can get a bunch of mollies that'll be worth it yeah for sure okay mr fish father fish we got plenty for you rowan's saying my grandmother turned 90 today wow is it mucky yeah if you can get under it that yeah it might be tricky doing it there are a lot of fish in here so hmm screams uh snapping turtle in here they like it warm but i don't know if they like the high minerals do you think the minerals mess them up yeah probably the mollies like it because mollies are a brackish we got them chased yeah they're scared away already it's a bunch over here you got them over there okay got a lot of gunk too much to go through there's a bunch of them right here yeah you got a few that should be a good one oh yeah Kenny just got about 20. Gamboosie and mollies. Now the gamboosie, you really don't want to put in a tank with other fish. Because they're just super aggressive. That's a nice little batch, isn't it? James just got about 20. Cool. Oh yeah. Getting the technique down. Cool. Yeah, they spook pretty easy. You can get under and you do better, I think. Well, this is a different net than yesterday. right that's a weaker handle we've repaired that a few times with limited success yeah i think we got a bunch of how many are in there is that a hundred easy a little more and then we'll we'll go over and do um we have time i think we'll go to the beach where we can get some shark's teeth that's not too far away great white hunter over there right how'd he do yeah it does not nearly as rigid it got broken and we never fixed it properly right so these are what's called vat nets uh the fish farmers who have burial vaults these are made to be the exact width of the burial vault so you put it down on one end of the vault scoop to the other end and you get every single fish that's in there so they're they're for use they're they're made for the farmers to be able to use on their farm they're moving their fish around this is a hybrid use I've been doing this with these nets for 20 years vegetation just to see what I get. Same species. Same fish, yeah. I don't think there's anything different, I don't think. I was looking at them and I had hoped that there were some some pup fish in here. I've caught them but it was years and years ago. Green sailfin, right, which is a really nice fish. They get big and they get really pretty. Now these would be adaptable to salt water because they're coming in a very hard alkaline water yeah that wise to you i don't know if you want to hero already starting to do that on the top of the water over here anthony mud's better right good all right i think we got enough we got a little time we can head out to another try to get to another spot so we're going to sign off here guys i wonder if i should put Oh, that was pretty good. Look at that. We've got about 25 there. And that looks like it's mostly mollies. Oh, that looks good looking. Hey, James, let me ask you. Can't tell what that is. He's got all kinds of speckles on him. He's cool looking. Look at that guy. Oh, nice. Is that black? He's got like purplish tints to him. It's a male gambusie, probably. Now, is that the guys that are aggressive? Uh-huh. Did you want us to put the gambusie back? No, no, you're not going to go through and pick them out. Well, I meant that one. No, no, that's a pretty one. Keep the pretty ones. All right. Thank you, guys. We'll be back a little later. Well, at least we don't have to pick sand out of our feet this time, James. Yeah, really. James is still wanting to go at it. Did you get one more right there? I can see you're looking at him.
