Dude they're literally coming in with dirt right now. These people actually just left these fish to die.
Oh my god that's a clown get it get it. Oh my god bro that was a snake head.
What's up DFB Nation welcome back to another awesome video guys. Today
we have something absolutely insane. We're gonna be saving fish today. As you can tell behind me
there's a lot of machine work going on and this place looks like a complete desert right now.
This used to be an abandoned golf course. We've actually done videos here before where we fished
I'll pop up some videos here and show you guys how beautiful this was. Oh my god oh that was sick.
Oh he's running right at me. Oh it's another snake head.
But recently they've come in with machines and they're tearing it all up. This golf course has
been abandoned for years now and they're finally doing something with it. As you can see behind me
dude there's a lot going on. Now on this golf course this is where the golf course was. There
used to be a pond there and a pond over there. They actually filled in the ponds and they killed
literally thousands of fish. We went over there we saw fish skeletons. There's more ponds on the
golf course. I think you guys know where I'm getting at with this. Sadly we're a little too
late with these because they filled down that one and then we planned on coming back because there
was another one right over there. We were gonna cast net the fish out and save them before they
filled it in with dirt. These people are literally killing thousands of fish and they just don't care
and I hate to see it so I was like dude we got to do something about it. I think there might still
be water over there where that one pond is. We're gonna go look now. We gotta see. We gotta see if
there's fish that need to be saved. So Brandon let's start walking over and see if there's water.
Wait do we see any fish? Oh bro the pond's still here. Oh my gosh. Look at this dude.
Okay guys this is crazy. I thought they filled it in already but they're going too soon. It
looks like they actually started already. Look you see that Brandon? Yeah. Dude this is crazy.
As you can see where it's coming out like that and it's flat that's where they're putting dirt
and they're filling in the pond as we speak. Oh yeah. Dude they're literally coming in with
dirt right now. I don't know how we're gonna save fish out of this one though. There's too
much stuff going on here because like we can't even get to the water. Dude I just saw fish come
up right there. Look it was a cichlid. The other ponds down there don't have any vegetation so
we're actually able to catch the fish. This one it's literally like impossible. Literally all
these fish are gonna die. That sucks. We can't do anything about it so I think we might head to the
other pond down there on the other side of the golf course where they haven't filled in either.
They're starting to fill this one in though. Literally as we speak they're bringing in dirt
and they're flattening it out covering up all the water. Whoa what was that what was that what was
that? Where? Look at that big wake. We could wait for them. We might do a part two to this. Once
there's like you know a little bit of water left all the fish are gonna be concentrated in one
little area maybe then we can save them you know what I'm saying. Dude it is hot. So wait was this
a pond? Oh wait. Dude there's water. Oh my god. There's no way. No way they didn't fill this one
This is supposed to be a mini pond? I don't know. I think this is from the uh you can see where they
flatten it out. This might have been a pond right here because it looks flat like they leveled it
out. See up there? Yeah I see that. I don't see any fish though. I mean it doesn't hurt to check.
This is like chocolate milk. If there's a fish in here it's dead. No no look look over there look
over there. Where? Right over there you see like there's a spiral going. Oh my god bro there's a
fish. You saw it? There's a wait yeah there's a fish in there. All the way at the end go go go go run
run around run around run around. There's oh look bro actually oh my god. Just grab wherever that is
hopefully it's just not a gator. Bro hello. You're gonna make it murky. It's already murky Brandon.
Is this a fish? Ew it's actually cold. The water is actually cold. It's hot here.
Oh it's deep bro it gets cold. I think we should go get a net. Go run back then.
I was trying to play a Star Wars themed song but I probably failed. He's back. Did you see that
truck? Yeah the truck was coming for me. As I started walking to get the net I saw the boss
man he was coming straight for you dude I thought you were done. Guys real quick before we get into
this please go down and leave a like. I'm about to die bro and the truck's all the way down there.
I haven't even started the video yet I'm about to pass out. All right if I sink to the to the
bottom there if you're grabbing my hand you're pulling me up okay? Okay. Should I just net?
Fish. Bro swirl. Right? I think so. What the heck? Oh my god. No way first net? First try
Dude they must be stacked in here. Oh my god that thing is massive. I don't even see anything.
Okay real quick this is crazy dude these people actually just left these fish to die.
Oh my god I mean I mean I knew that that's what they were doing they're filling in the ponds
they're killing all the fish. We should bring them back to pond X. To actually see it. See I would bring
them to pond X but I don't want a tilapia in pond X. Guys I think the best bet to do with this guy
because he is a tilapia we legally cannot move him anywhere else and I don't want to leave him
here because that's literally fish torture he's just going to suffer here and die slowly. I think
the best bet put him in a bucket and give him to Dakota to eat or to feed our fish or something
like that. Feed our families. But that's crazy man he's actually fishing here. Guys I'm not going to
show much but sadly we're going to have to euthanize this guy and put him in this bucket
that's literally the best option. As you can tell they clearly just forgot about this one little
sliver of the pond. All the fish are just probably concentrating in there and they're going to slowly
die. I don't know how this thing's alive still. Oh god dude I'm scared what if I pull up something
crazy like an alligator. Nothing maybe I just got lucky on my first try. Big Gunner's luck.
There's something down there. Is it a rock? I feel something.
Oh my god bro. Oh my god Brandon. This is what we're doing. Oh god. You good?
If the boss man comes over here I'm gonna have a strong word with him you know.
Oh my god. That's a clown. Get it. Get it. Holy crap. Oh my god. What the heck. That was a clown
night fish. I'm crazy. Oh my god. I don't know what's going on dude. You saw that? Yeah. What
the. Oh my. That was the craziest thing. Dude that's the last thing I was expecting. I could
get the cast net. I'll try this a little longer. Man this is bad. We're not giving up. No dude I'm
not leaving until I catch some fish. Oh my god there he is. What? Jesus. Is it more? Oh my god
that was the clown. Maybe there's. There he is. Oh my god. We need the clown. We need to save him.
Literally. We should bring him to Pond X if we get him. Oh my gosh that's a dead snake right there.
Are you serious? Yeah. You sure it's a snake? Or an eel. It's an eel bro? Ew that might be an eel man.
Oh my god man. I don't know if I can do this much longer. I'm going to get a cast net. All right you
guys I brought us a cast net. I'm gonna take a little break sit behind the camera and Brandon's
gonna see if he can catch that clown or anything else that's in here. Never would imagine there's
a clown knife fish in this thing. And then like slowly pull it in. If there was something there
you would have caught it. Oh my god. Bro that was a snake head. This is insane.
Oh my god. Is that another tilapia? Yeah. Dude I was about to give up. Oh look how unhealthy he looks.
Ew what happened to his eye? Disgusting. All right we're gonna get him in the bucket. You know what
Brandon? I think we go take a break get some waters or something and we're gonna come back
with a different plan to get these fish out. We'll see you then. Just a little update. It's about
three minutes later. We have waters. We have vitamin waters. We're hydrated. We're feeling good again.
We got the AC cranking. We're here at Dick's. We decided you know what it's time to get some better
equipment. You guys have been saying it for a long time. I'm finally gonna break down and I'm gonna
get a really nice net. This is gonna be tough dude. We know there's a clown knife fish in there.
A snake head. Probably more. We're gonna go in there get the best net possible and then we're
gonna go back to the spot try to save these fish. We'll see you there. Dude this is the best one they had.
I paid a pretty penny for this so this better work and we better get these fish. I can cover
the whole thing now. Ready? Yep. Whoa I just hit it. Dude! Clown first. Yes! Oh my god freaking first try.
Is this thing alive? Oh my god it's alive. Dude it's actually alive. Look at this.
Brandon. Oh my god. That's all we needed was a nicer net. That thing's alive. Oh my gosh look at
that thing. We did it. He's alive. I hear him grunting. He's not moving much. Oh my god. There
we go you guys. Look at that. In the freaking mud pit. There we go. Put him in head first.
All right. Dude I don't know if he's gonna make it. He's like I don't know if transporting this
thing is gonna be a good idea or not. What do you think dude? Honestly if we want this thing to live
we put him in the canal because I'm pretty sure it's not illegal because it is the same body of
water this is where he came from originally and they just closed it off. All right I hope he makes it.
Oh he's good. Yeah he's sitting upright that's good. Yes dude we just saved the clownfish.
This canal and what once was this pond. You saw the pipe over there? Exactly. See these see the
pipe down there? It's just like that. There's a way bigger pipe. So it was connected same body of water
they just closed it off. We're doing this a favor. You know what I don't I don't care I'm saving that
fish. If we were to try and transport it I think it would have died so we made the right call there
I think. We also know there's a snake head in here. Okay this is a shallow end. Keep moving forward.
Dude I can't believe a clownfish was living in this. This is crazy. Oh I feel something.
I hit something there.
Oh yo look at this. Got a little cichlid? Yeah a little tilapia. Sick. We can feed that to the
We're gonna throw this guy in the bucket we'll feed him to the fish later. I'm just guessing.
Oh oh. What is that? Hey another tilapia. Holy crap. Oh yeah. Now you guys tilapia are a little
more tricky than clownfish because tilapia are way more invasive. The laws are a lot more
different with tilapia so we also have use for this guy. We're gonna be feeding these to our fish
so even though we're not technically saving them we kind of are helping them. They're not gonna sit
here and suffer until they die. We're gonna quickly euthanize them and then feed them to the fish later
Wow really what makes the net work. Is that like our fifth tilapia bro? Oh yeah.
Oh a little baby. Yeah a little baby fish. Oh yeah. I'll put him in the bucket. That's bass candy dude.
Oh oh you saw that? Yeah I saw. Are you getting it? Dude this water's so dark I can't see him.
Oh I just hit him. He's over here. Okay he's over here. He's trapped.
Ready? He's somewhere over here. It's probably the next corner. Oh my god. Oh right there right there.
There he is. I just hit him. Come on man.
It's so hard to get him. That's the snakehead for sure. How big is he like seven pounds?
God damn. He's definitely in this corner. There he is. There he is. Oh my gosh. Got him. Yes dude. Finally
we got the snakehead bro. Look at this thing. This thing is huge. That thing's massive. You got to hold that thing up.
Finally man. We've been trying to get this thing for forever. This is a nice snakehead.
He's looking worn out. Oh yeah he's worn out. I'm worn out. We're all worn out. All right you guys
you know the drill. When we catch a snakehead and we can't move it. Snakeheads. Oh let me get,
don't get me started on the laws about snakeheads. Snakeheads, fallopian cichlids, stuff like that.
I don't think we could legally put this guy over there because it's illegal to possess a guy
alive in like a cooler or whatever. Whenever we have this problem we just have my friend Christian
eat him because he eats these things for dinner like every night. He's sitting there like chicken
right? Yeah. We're gonna give this one to Christian and he's gonna eat it so he's going to a good cause
and he's not gonna sit in here until it fully dries up and die a slow death. We're gonna
quickly help him out and euthanize him. Oh my gosh. That's candy baby. Oh yeah. Gonna throw this guy
in the bucket. I think this might be the last fish in here. I've been scooping a long time.
Haven't caught anything big so I think we've done our job and our work here is done Brandon.
All right you guys this was in all honesty probably the hardest video we have ever filmed.
It is hot out here man. It's hot. Sinking water. Sinking the water. These fish. We got it done.
Guys please go down there leave a like subscribe if you haven't already. I'll see you in the next one.
Peace out.
