Dropping a GoPro Under a Popular Fishing Pier (Wild)

[@Chillpillspill]

i appreciate the no frills nature of this video. just some interesting content, no annoying music, no one trying to ham it up and be funny when they aren't. just some interesting stuff to see!

[@hammit932]

This would be a perfect time to use a 360 camera. You'd never have to worry about missing anything cool out of frame!

[@myeverythingworld8123]

Under water drone would be perfect

[@RobertoMezquiaJr]

Exactly what I was thinking. A 360 camera would capture everything.

[@PeanutButterAM]

360 for sure. 💪🏽🤘🏽

[@goldpotato1885]

Then why don't you buy one for him

[@playdeebug4400]

came straight to the comments to leave a comment about using a 360 camera

[@S.E.C-R]

An article on my Google news feed brought me here… this was pretty cool. That dolphin was neat to see, it knew exactly what it was doing too!

[@philmckrackin8303]

Wow, the surprise visit from the turtle was the highlight of the video for me, not sure why, but I've always been drawn to them. They look so peaceful swimming out there.

[@photerm7320]

Out of all fishing videos I've watched, I have to admit that you are the best narrator. You sound very relaxed and no drama or explosive voice of excitement.

[@iclashwitheverything8844]

I always love videos like this cuz a lot of that crackling and grinding that you hear is the fish making sounds to communicate. documentaries tend to edit it out a lot so footage like this that's more raw is always delightful cuz it actually has a proper soundscape

[@sheripie5]

That little boy was so polite! I love hearing kids still say “yes sir”. He was definitely raised right ❤️

[@DailyChuckles724]

The sea turtle was checking out the GoPro because it looks similar to its natural prey, the plastic straw.

[@Sabllica]

Sad but true

[@SamW.]

Lol

[@grantmoon624]

I’ve never seen a GoPro that looks like a plastic straw.

[@Havel_The_Rock]

Prey and predator

[@ztkrx]

you mean: it’s predator

[@amydavis4945]

For some reason this came up on my Recommended. I don't fish. I don't live in Florida. I have no idea why I clicked on it - but I will say it was pleasantly entertaining to watch. Thanks for the upload!

[@AmiraSmyrna]

Great to see a clean healthy environment in the ocean!! So refreshing from plastic and dirt. Nice video just discovered your stuff and will be checking more!

[@mayge1234]

The dolphin had a gopro in his mouth. He was making a video about what humans do at piers for his SeaTube channel.

[@meanderingmarley3910]

I actually saw that footage. The dolphin wound up doing a collab with a sheep (something about what goes on in a farm pond). It was posted to her EweTube channel.

[@usmustdie4peace405]

And actually it was a swimPro

[@youalreadyknow5039]

This was actually cool. An adventure with anticipation. Not knowing what you were going see, keeps u on the edge of your seat. I love it. Thanks fir sharing

[@JasonLee-kw3df]

No bullshit intro and straight to the content, love it!

[@vduchess3885]

Fish are such naturally curious animals. It's so cute.

[@Raniknitski]

I suprised myself with how much I enjoyed this. I am grinning ear to ear. How fun! And thanks for identifying so many of these fish. Loved the puffer and turtle visit!

[@alex-004]

FL born & raised but this kind of content is totally new to me, I'm surprised I've never seen a video like this. Really cool stuff!

[@dynamoterror7077]

I used to live pretty close to that beach! The small, pale snappers with yellow lines and a black spot on their back were Lane Snappers, and the pompano-like fish that the kid caught (which you could also see swimming in a big school above the bait) is an Atlantic Bumper (in the Jack family). Also, fun fact, the croakers that you saw filtering through the sand weren’t typical Atlantic Croakers, but a closely related species called a Spot (generally more blocky in shape and with a larger shoulder spot). Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@aceunderwater]

Thanks for the info!

[@tomchristison784]

Looks more like a trevally the one the kid caught. But maybe same thing different name?

[@Reelin609]

Small jack crevalle

[@dynamoterror7077]

The fish that the kid caught doesn’t look like a Trevally or a young Jack Crevalle, but after looking back through the video it also isn’t identical to an Atlantic Bumper. To me at least, after a bit of research, it most closely resembles a Blue Runner (another member of the Jack family).

[@johnbrooker6134]

In southeast Florida we call those bumper jacks "butterfish"

[@frogturtle]

dude this is so cool, seems like a fun hobby that I’d like to try myself. surely there’s a way to get a live feed of what’s going on down there that you could watch on your phone or some other device. thanks for the vid!

[@anthonycarlisle6184]

At around 7:22 you can hear the sonar blast the dolphin emits at the fish to push them away to snag the cut bait. Cool video!👍

[@jwb2814]

Your interaction with the young boy was good. Just really organic, he’ll remember that the rest of his life. Just that you would take that time with him may influence him his entire life.

[@mfrost7890]

The puffer: "Dude. What is REALLY going on here?"

[@RaindropsBleeding]

that is pretty cool. dolphins are so smart. makes sense they'd know how to delicately rip the bait off the hook

[@spokes5201]

@5:38, I enhanced the footage and you're not going to believe this.... but that dolphin ALSO had a gopro.... :)

[@kritykraftz]

Loved seeing the boy fishing! He was not scared either!

[@catffiene6176]

Watching this while I’m insanely high, your fish video is my favorite video ever, I like how you describe each fish, they are all so pretty I love this video wow so beautiful 😯💗💗💗💗

[@ZEEmtl]

high too eating m&m's

[@citychicken9949]

I once had a small remora chose me as it's host and it was the cutest thing EVER! I was heart broken when it was time to leave the beach. The little fish looked so forlorn when I got out of the water 😢. lol

[@mildredsparks6684]

Watching this in bed in the freezing UK Winter. It’s so soothing and wholesome 🌊

[@mrjaycamoutdoors]

This is one of the more interesting things I've stumbled upon on KZbin. Great idea man thanks for sharing.

[@MurderMike41370]

That's crazy how much radiation is in that water, I can hear the geiger counter going crazy!

[@nickymarch2914]

5:32 Dolphin probably has a pufferfish in his mouth lol ✌️

[@uyahang8323]

I’m 17 and been fishing for the last 42 years and that fish is actually a darude sandstorm

[@ricco3]

That fish is a song?

[@JohnDoe-V]

CORRECTION: The longest pier in the Gulf of Mexico, aka the longest pier in the world, is located in Progreso, Yucatán, Mexico. It is 4 MILES long and it runs north in the Gulf of Mexico from the Yucatán peninsula towards New Orleans, Louisiana.

[@Jim-bw8jo]

This was really fun to watch, thank you. I live in Alaska and have a completely different type of sea floor and sea life.

[@GingerZack]

THE TURTLE!!

[@deechick2321]

Great narration....watched the whole video. 🐟🐠🐡🐬 Like the names of the fish. Do not live by the ocean...the gulf. So beautiful!

[@keithkuchta-d6v]

the dolphin is like a legendary around all these low level fishes

[@pauly7166]

Great work...but may i suggest, please don't use a hook..just have a pin method or something where if a Dolphin and such like grabs the bait then there is no risk of hooking it.

[@acshaw80]

Super cool - randomly popped up in my feed and I loved it!

[@edwardlandry291]

I love the underwater GoPro pictures of our beaches. More fascinating down there than it is up on the dock. Keep up the good content. I’ll be watching. Thanks.

[@KaiKayMusic]

2:20 Crush shows up, looking for the East Australian Current 🐢

[@dodge33445]

Im so glad you did this. This is something I have always wanted to do at our pier .

[@Niallisababe1]

I just love sea turtles. They are so fascinating

[@vortexrex1156]

If yall liked this video there's a similar one called dropping a gopro beneath a cruise ship that's really cool

[@kingvamp.]

saw it. can confirm it was awesome 👌🏼

[@doctordoomsday0]

Can also confirm it was awesome 👏🏻

[@nawnomadnan9874]

Awesome vid! And the Remora fish really surprised me, I never thought they could just roam around like a normal fish like that and not attached to something.

[@jchastain789]

Like the way you put this together. The personal touch with all the other fishers on the pier is a cool touch add more of that

[@Banana42699]

I don’t understand the negative comments under your video. I enjoyed this a lot.

[@tonepoet]

I was born and raised in Daytona Beach. It astounds me how clear the water is on the other side.

[@michaelbass5951]

I LOVE the ocean. It would be a dream to live on a tropical island surrounded by warm crystals blue/green water

[@whatisthishandlegarbage]

lmao you would die. Nature is sinister in a way because it lures you in with its beauty, but kills you with its conditions. For one, you would have no drinking water because sea water is not drinkable, second, tropical islands are dry and pretty much have nothing to eat, and the jungle rainforest areas are full of poisonous plants and animals you can't even tell until you try. So as much as I also wanna do that, it would be a short life, unless you're at a resort. Not to mention the sun will burn you in the day and dehydrate you with heat, and at night it will be cold and windy and freeze you.

[@vhscopyofseinfeld]

@@whatisthishandlegarbagethis is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read on KZbin. So you got that going for you.

[@anthonypierre2094]

​@@whatisthishandlegarbageplus the tropical storms and hurricanes do a lot of damage destroying billions in damage every yr.

[@steriskyline4470]

​@@vhscopyofseinfeldlol its straight facts. Everything said was correct

[@ironix1]

Nice to see. A refreshing to the contrast of people just hooking and keeping what they can. Thanks.

[@peasndough]

Turtle is a paid actor

[@officialdadbrand]

I don't know how I ended up here, But I like it.

[@xSmuggen]

Gotta do it at night, same pier, with a night cam. See if there's a noticeable difference between the fish varieties.

[@mondo851]

Great video! It's funny how crafty the dolphin was ... it knew very well that the cut ladyfish had a hook inside but also knew how to tear it loose from the hook. The phin probably gets plenty of free meals stealing fishermen's baits like that.

[@maxguod]

Not only will the dolphin steal your bait the right way - he will laugh at you in his own language -

[@2prize]

That was a lot cleaner than i expected

[@BM_100]

"This is pretty dirty for gulf of mexico standards" Galveston, TX : hold my beer

[@MECH-MASTER]

The mullet survived by pretending to be a redfish..lol👍

[@aceunderwater]

Lol. It darn near looks like one too!

[@edwardelric10001]

Lol. Fish at the gopro: "Dude, you look weird!"

[@kmblueman343]

This is the best GoPro video!!

[@moosewhizzerdave2066]

Well I know what I'm doing with my gopro this summer!

[@goodjush9960]

It’s crazy seeing a random KZbin video pop up about your hometown

[@davidtwining4059]

I just read a story on Google today about this exact video. So here I am checking it out.

[@Pogers7436]

Same lol

[@nathansamuelson]

Florida piers we're always a neat experience when I was young. Puffers, barracuda, some sharks, even saw a big manta ray once swimming near the pier. Those things are huge and fast.

[@simplefloridagirl]

Thanks for posting! Used to live in Destin before I moved up to Ohio. Nice seeing the wildlife again!

[@eustatic3832]

2:21 great catch!

[@thedopest]

these are the types of things I like seeing in the algorithm. Nice video dude.

[@IchabodSpoonbill]

Very interesting video. I like how you used simple equipment to make the water under the pier come alive. I want to try things like that in the Hudson, but it's so murky!

[@jtmar157]

Anyone else say 'DUUUDE" when they saw the turtle? Like from Finding Nemo?

[@ruatonim]

Really neat. I grew up on the fishing piers of the OBX of NC in the 80s, and visited the ones on the gulf side of Florida as well while visiting grandparents. Mostly Venice pier and Anna Maria Island pier. Also Sarasota bay and some of the jetties as well. Funny story, first time we went to Venice pier, we brought our tackle box that worked at the Outer Banks of NC. We started to cast for Spanish Mackerel using Gotcha plugs/jerk jiggers. The first time the locals saw one, they kind of joked it, saying it wouldn't catch anything. They still used bottom rigs, popper bobbers, spoons and maybe bucktails. Our second cast, we hooked into Spanish and slayed them. Let's just say they wanted to buy every one we had. We also landed a nice King Mackerel using a two pole anchor rig, something else they didn't know about back then. We also learned quickly how much of a nuisance pelicans are. We have them at the OBX, but not to the level Florida does, especially Anna Maria.

[@GenXMafia]

Dolphins are a nuisance too if your fishing as you can see in this video. Once they show up you’re done fishing.

[@DatSaneBoi]

Class act asking the kid if he wanted to be filmed. Loved this vid ❤

[@berny5326]

I did not realize dolphins were in the gulph of mexico until now. Very shocking and cool to see. Great video bro this is a wholesome channel

[@nathanielrullmann7441]

gulf*

[@XyphonXero]

For sure, we used to ride the ferry over to Galveston coming from Houston as kids and we would see them out in the water all the time.

[@jasonjoseph3975]

Alot of Piers have underwater cameras installed and are live 24/7 here on KZbin

[@spacemanifestdestiny3542]

6:55 "Ya got games on your phone?"

[@cs512tr]

things like this is exactly what is best about gopros' and their kin, amazing way to see under water

[@floridapatriot9776]

Loving these underwater GoPro videos!

[@flowerfarmerscott]

The fish the kid caught was a butterfish. VERY good to eat And the snappers you couldn't identify were Lane snappers

[@trolojolo6178]

It's not a butterfish, it's a silver trevally! Please leave this comment section when you clearly don't know what you are talking about. Leave it to us big boys. Thanks

[@flowerfarmerscott]

Ha, ha, hahahahaha... No, it's an Atlantic butterfish. Please avoid being a dick on comment sections.@@trolojolo6178

[@sjohnson5813]

​@@trolojolo6178you are wrong. It's crazy people leave comments like they know what they are talking about when they clearly have no fking clue....talking about you incase you're a little slow. 100% a Butterfish kid. When you get some hair on Your balls , people will start taking you a little more serious.

[@uscdave1124]

Today I learned dolphins are smart enough to take the bait off a hook without getting snared. I don't know why this surprised me because I already knew they were smart, but still...

[@karanicole2999]

Dolphins are smart but they just don't eat everything whole like many fish/sea creatures do. The reason you catch fish with a hook is that they often put the entire bait and hook in their mouth because they are used to swallowing their food whole.

[@QwikKota]

There is a dumb one in every pod. "A guy I know" hooked one and it nearly spooled a 4/0 tuna reel. He cut the line once it jumped in the air and saw what it was. The reel was ripping after it hooked itself.

[@Wtfyrdohins]

I love how curious the fish are

[@mooganstooker2419]

WOW, fish in the water. Fascinating.

[@cah88]

And I can’t catch a single fish… dang there’s a lot down there!

[@trippyvortex]

That puffer and turtle really nice to see!

[@jp1563]

Ladyfish is delicious and not an oily flavor at all. The meat is mealy and doesn't make good fillets. A vietnamese fishermen in Texas gave me a recipe for fish patties. Some scallions, a little soy sauce, some salt and pepper, I don't remember there being much more to it then that. Scoop the meat off the fish with a spoon while still raw, press into patties with the ingredients mixed in like you're making a burger. They cooked up nice and firm and were absolutely delicious.

[@aceunderwater]

I'll have to try them!

[@AnneluvsKatz]

So cool! A sea turtle AND a dolphin!!!

[@MikeDarr61]

I’m from the Clearwater beach area actually grew up on Madeira Beach. I can remember as. Kid my friend and I used to throw cast nets for various bait fish AND for mullet. I can remember times we’d get so much mullet it was hard to drag the net onto the beach. In Redington Shores there used to be a pier called the Redington long pier. It went into the gulf for about 1500ft. Man the monster fish we used to snag off the end of that pier. The pier is gone now a hurricane damaged it so bad it couldn’t be repaired. Lots of memories there. The whole dynamic of the gulf beaches there has changed dramatically since I was a kid. Over development has pretty much killed a lot of the area. It’s way too over crowded now. When I was a kid you didn’t feel the need to lock your doors you knew your neighbors. I lived there until I went into the military it wasn’t my mom died I went back there. So sad to see it now. At least the Pensacola beach area has pretty much stayed the same. If I ever move back to Florida it would be in that area.

[@кяуртіс]

Dude this is a sick idea, if there were a 360 weatherproof camera imagine using that as a sinker having the hook underneath it so you can view it from your phone like a security cam or after the fact.

[@saltandserenityco]

Love this video! So happy to see the turtle!🐢 Navarre and the whole Emerald Coast is my favorite area in Florida so far!🤩

[@chicagorilla4983]

I remember swimming with the turtles in Hawaii when I was younger. Such beautiful animals

[@pmadams65]

The commercial Florida mullet fishery is one of the largest of any species in our waters. The average mullet length is between 10”-20”.

[@diplosbae]

Filefish are related to pufferfish! They both have beaks and swim with their pectoral fins.

[@djluminol]

How cool. I've always wondered what the fish under the pier do, where they hang out and why. Also makes me happy that the dolphins are smart enough to know not to grab the hook. Less chance of a hook getting stuck in their jaw and getting infected. It's probably a low chance either way but it can't hurt to avoid the hook entirely.

[@michaelking42]

That was a great video, thank you. I live real close to that pier. I love Navarre Beach.

[@SublimeLyfeNow]

Same here it's a beautiful place!

[@Ninjabenji1Games]

You should try this with a 360 camera!

[@shawnn6926]

Thanks for the video. I'm from MI and my dream is to spend 3 months during winter in FL and most of that time will be fishing. Nice to see such a variety of fish to catch.

[@lostinthewoods7369]

This was an absolutely fascinating video! I love snorkeling in places like this. Especially when there aren't too many fish hooks waiting to snag me lol

[@willknight1005]

Healthy location 👍 excellent footage!

[@ericaandjeremy]

I was just about to comment "How in the world does this video not have more views than it does?" and then I realized I was reading that it had 3.8k views instead of 3.8 million.

[@TheIrmak75]

I'm subbing in hopes to seeing more of these videos

[@MaidenAriana]

Love to watch videos like yours to avoid the winter blahs. Thanks for sharing! Envious of that beautiful weather right now.

[@chuckkerber4735]

Cool! Thanks for doing this brother.

[@renohallmeyer5730]
