In today's video, I find a dried up creek FILLED with fish that needed to be saved! There were gar, snakehead, clown knife fish, and MASSIVE snapping turtles that were living in the mud. We rescued as many as we could and transported them to my backyard pond where they can live the rest of their lives!

Oh, he does not look oh, he looks like a zombie bro. This canal is completely dried up
I mean look at this ground like this one. Oh, man. Come on. Show us you're alive. Oh, oh
It does not look good. Something literally took a chunk out of his tail. It's a snapper. Oh my god
What's up BFB Nation welcome back to another awesome video guys today
We're starting out the video in the car me and Robert just driving down the street and we noticed this canal right there
Completely dried up
So then we immediately went home and got prepared got the supplies that we need to save fish if there are fish that needs saving
We haven't had rain in a long time here in Florida
So there's absolutely no water in this canal from what we saw. There's probably fish that need to be saving
So we got a cooler in the backfield with fresh water. We've never been here before so we don't know what's in here
But there's any fish that needs saving that are dried up. I don't know
We're gonna check it out and see if we can save anything
All right, here we go
Let's see if you can squeeze through oh, that's a close call
Oh
Rob right away. Oh my god. He might be alive. We don't know for sure. Let's go check it out guys
There's no water whatsoever. And there's already a fish dude. Look at that thing. That's a big snakehead
No, that thing is decomposing
Oh
That car might be alive. Look at this guys. There's a little pocket right there. There's also a sewer there
Right. No, we're not going to the zoo. I think you have to
Guys there's a star here. I don't know if he's alive. He doesn't look it. Oh, you just breathe
You just took a breath. Okay, we got to save him. Oh
He does not look oh, he looks like a zombie bro. Yeah, he does not look good. He is alive though
Look, he looks like he's been burnt. Yeah, right his skin looks
Usually they're darker. He's really light. He still got some fightin him. There was something else in here like a little fish
I kind of want to save him too. Where were you though?
There's like a little burrow back that way. Yeah, if you don't make yourself known we can't save you
All right, man, we'll come back for him guys. We already have a car. Oh, I'll get his eye. That's bad
He looks he looks dead hopefully we can save him we're gonna get him in the cooler. Oh my ow
All right, here we go
Freshwater for a big guy. Hopefully that kicks in and it saves him he can survive
We're gonna release him somewhere else later in the video, but we're gonna keep going and look for his friends
So we're here at the creek now. It's amazes me how this happens this canal this Creek whatever it was
I don't know how high it was but it's completely dried up. I mean look at this ground like boom
It's so dry and it just is it pretty much killed everything
There's no survivors really except for you know, the gar and all that but think of all the little fish and all the you know
Fish that were in here that died from it, you know, no, no rain. That's what happened. But check that out
There's a really big snakehead week. We're not quick enough to save them
It's actually probably illegal for us to save a snake. Yeah anyways, but this is kind of crazy
I see raccoon footprints everywhere scruffy's been around. Yeah bird footprints. So all the little fish
I doubt there's gonna be any little fish alive or left. Oh
Jesus
Dude, it's so that's nasty. Let's just go all around them. Another big snakehead here. Look at that thing
That's a big that's literally probably what happened to the other ones like they probably just like came in through the sewer and then they're
Like oh shoot snakeheads guys. That's how they get around through the sewers
They probably got off on this exit and they're like dang. There's no water. Those might be raccoon footprints right here or birds
They're munching on all the look at all these. Oh, yeah, lots of footprints here. That's crazy
Hey, look, that's like a little paw right there. We're just looking for pools, you know little pockets of water that are still there
That's where the fish are gonna be. Oh my god another one. Oh
Some of these raccoon prints are huge look at this Rob, that's a big scruffy dude, that's a mass
It's a whole family of scruffies. Look at the babies
baby scruffy
Yeah, that's right oh
My god down there. Oh
God how are we gonna run through the mud?
I'm sliding
Look at the size of that fish snakehead rod. Oh this mud is stick
Don't think it's alive
This mud is so
I'm sinking. I'm
Maybe oh, hold on get close. Oh, I think it's just he's got control might be nerves. That might just be nerves though
Come on, big guy. We're gonna save you
I'll please be alive
Come on, show us you're alive. Show us you're alive. Should we just dump them in the water? Yeah, there's a pool of water
We can rinse them off. Oh, let's do that
Yeah, I had to get out. Yeah
Yeah, it's like it's my patent I'm like
Yeah, I saw it before
Whoa, wait, wait, dude. Look it looks like it's been moving. Oh
Look at this guy's are sliding gar. I mean snake heads. They could walk on land snake heads are known for walking on land
They're known for that. You can see his path right here
He probably came all the way from that sewer where the other one was there is fly bombs
Look at the size of these raccoons, bro. They were not big enough to get big old snake head here. I
Think this one is he alive? Oh, I see his mouth. He was jumping. There's yeah, he is
Look at that. Oh
He was jumping you saw that right, I'm not going crazy I heard it and I looked over that's a big snake head, bro
He is really dry. No, we might do here. Let's grab this bar. You should get a net and we'll bring him both up to the cooler
Rob the gorgeous kicked I swear to God it really yes. Oh, yeah. Look he's alive. Okay, screw this thing. We're gonna
In a coma
So sick guys, we're saving them. Oh
Bear hug it. Yeah, I kind of left him to die for a second
Did you just got to get a little bit more athletic on him
He's definitely a lot
Yeah, I thought Rob
Yes, sir, I'm a little winded I don't know how these things just happen
We always find ourselves in just the greatest scenarios ever. There's fish everywhere. We're saving them. My shoes are like mud bricks
I don't know what to do with the snake. Hey guys, come here
They're legal to release in a body of water
You didn't catch them in though
The law is if you catch a snake head you can release them in the same body of water
So there is a little pocket of water right down there. You might be able to zoom in on that little pocket of water
I think our best bet to save this fish because I don't like seeing fish die
I don't care if it's invasive or not. This fish has a life and I don't want to see it suffer
They can survive frickin days out of water with no water. So this guy's definitely still alive. He's just a little little slow
It's sober
There's a dead peacock bass, oh no, dude, I hate that
Rob it's a
Wow, it's a clown night fish Rob. Look at that thing zoom in. It's a clown. Yes. Oh my god, and it's still alive
We got to make that our mission. We have to say do we have to save it?
What is look at its tail dude
This water is pretty deep the snakehead would be good. Oh my god, it does not it does not look good. Oh, he's swimming backwards
Oh my god. Oh wait, okay get back
That might be a gator in there. Oh look at its tail, bro
That might be something munched it for sure could be the raccoons
True, it could be any but its tail looks mangled guys. He looks like something fit on bro. Yeah, that's what I like here
This is why we're so scared
Look ready
Dude chunk taken out of it something literally took a chunk out of his tail. It's still alive though
We can save him here grab the clown and we'll come back run. Okay. Yeah
Dude that thing is a unit
He's alive, he's actually alive. All right, let's just run get it gotta get him in the cooler
We can put him in pond X do we gotta save him? Oh, oh my god
Water we brought two cars. I'll put him in this one
Come on big guy. Oh, he's upright. Yes, so sick. He's upright. He's he's kicking his tail is so messed up though
We're gonna save you big guy something got him bro. Wow. Yeah, look at that. Oh bite right there bite right there
Oh my god, holy crap. That doesn't look like a raccoon. We're gonna bring all these fish to pond X probably later
Check it out. That was the first or no the second car we saw so this guy we thought was dead
But after seeing the other one that actually came back to life pretty much after I held it
Maybe we'll give him another chance to show us. Oh
Okay, get him in the cooler dude, he's alive oh my god, he's really kicking out
Well, I just shut down their whole body
Yeah
Something's got our do that in the wild when there's a drought, you know in Texas or wherever they're from
They just bury themselves in the mud and they actually live for months until water comes back in
the cooler
And any goes? Yeah
We're kind of good at Tim fish guys. Well, you know, I don't work out but I imagine this is what it's like
I'm winded right now. This is a lot of work, but it's worth it. We're saving fish
so right now we have pretty much the only pocket of water except for by the sewer and there's one dead peacock and
The snakehead we put in there to try and save them. So we think there's something in there
So we brought a net and we're just gonna put ground. Maybe there's not but we gotta see
Theoretically a gator could just be like in the mud
Because if it is a gator, he'll bite you and then I write on it, but I got Crocs on so and they're in sports mode
So so you'll be fine. Yeah
Show yourself
Make your presence known
Is there something there
Yeah, I'll hold you son
Okay, that's a gator. Dude. I'm not a gator. I swear to God in the mud bro. I'm running my net over it
Scoop it out
See what I'm talking about, it's like stops where that stops and then it picks up. Yeah
Yeah, right it might be snappy bro, cuz snappy is right down the street and they probably connect through that sewer
Rob, there's no way you're putting your foot in there
Oh my god, dude, that's the biggest turtle I've ever seen. Oh my god
Oh my god, dude, oh putting your foot in there. Why were you doing that?
Let's bring them over there. Okay. Yeah, you're right. We just found the antagonist of this dried-up Creek
Oh my god, I thought it was a snapper, but that's actually a softshell. I didn't know don't get that close
It's got range. He's actually really cool, bro. It's massive
Look at it I
Knew it cuz you know how the mound was there. Yeah, you saw where it dug in the dirt
That's the biggest girl. Look at my shoe next to the lake. Yeah, I'm surprised you pull them out, bro
Oh
my god
He's so always pissed oh
my god
He's a good boy tickle tickle dick. Yeah, I say we pull him back in his little mud pond
You can go back to eating clown. I fish. Oh my
This thing is sick. Oh, he's so pissed off. All right, big guy go back in your little mud pond. Oh
My oh, we just sniffed the snake head. He was like, oh, that looks good. Oh, there he goes. He's digging dude
Look at that. Oh my god. He's whoa
He's gonna disappear. That's crazy. That's actually crazy the rest of it's very very dry
So I doubt there's really anything alive for us to save I'm exhausted what we're gonna do me and Rob see
We don't want them to die in the cooler
So what we're gonna do we're gonna head to Pontiac's right now and we're gonna try and save all these gar and the clown
I fish and hopefully they live we're gonna head to Pontiac's now and release these fish
All right, guys, we've made it to Pontiac's and somehow some way this clown knife fish is still alive here. I'll be close
Look at him. He's completely upright. We're gonna examine him
That was definitely the snapping turtle or the softshell that was taking bites out of him. He's actually in really good condition. So now
Jesus
Look at that bite right there Rob
Look at that one right here
That's a big chunk. That was definitely the snapping turtle or the softshell and there's another bite right there. Oh my god through
He might make it though. He could heal those wounds. And yeah guys, we're gonna put him in pond X right now
And hopefully he survives
He's actually kicking off he's swimming through that he's staying on top but he might live look at that
There you go. You can see how much mud that was on these bars because the coolers like all mud now
Yeah, all of them. They were drying up in that mud
Now they're gonna be in pond X. Let go look look at them. They're biting the net. Let go. We're not the enemy
We're trying to save you
Oh
Other way buddy. Other way. He's a little discombobulated. Yeah, we saved a lot of fish today dried up canal
