Gordon Ramsay Learns The Traditional Maori Way Of Catching Eels | Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted

[@andysux1]

Man they really love and respect their wildlife. That farewell was beautiful.

[@kimberlyreabe8392]

Is it just me or is this a thrilling thing to see Gordon in lands far away “tickling” an eel and throwing it up on the bank of the river. Then practicing catch and release and letting the monster back into the water for another day. What a fantastic episode!

[@Ahmed-jv7oc]

Incredible sceness

I think it's awesome seeing gordy in my neck of the woods doing what I grew up loving to do. It's an honour to have him here and hope he comes back, top man!

[@chosebine2169]

what a docile animal even after getting catapulted out of the water they're acting as if they're mildly annoyed

[@Zapscallion]

Why are people so doubtful the eel was wild and real? Have you ever been outside? There are these things called WILD ANIMALS and you can find them in the craziest of places almost as if life has evolved for millions of years to fill every ecological niche on the planet.

[@sneersh9107]

Not saying it's fake but I definitely get the suspicion. First of all that's a tiny little creek, it's kinda hard to believe that such a small water area can support such big eels. Second every fish I've ever seen, wild or not, does its best to quickly get away and hide when confronted by a human. The way this eel was just sitting there like it was waiting to be grabbed was very odd.

[@angelconstantino6551]

They prolly used some tuber's juice to make the eel dizzy.

[@rosesosa8332]

They reach for anything and everything , people are weird

[@jackwilson9204]

@@sneersh9107 that's NZ eels. They technically have no predators other than humans so they camouflage as sticks rather than run away when a predator is there. They are smart in their habitat. Most of the eels here in NZ grow massive even in small stream systems as they are so adept to even climbing over land to get to new waterways.

[@ToughDuff]

Because shows like this fake wildlife scenes all the time. Search up bear grylls behind the scenes, you'll be shocked how often even mundane shots are faked for Tv.

[@DanielleA2023]

Looooove how Gordon impresses each and every host because the hosts respect and celebrate his achievements!!!

Old records say they used to grow to 9ft and you can still find good 6ft specimens put there still.

I'm amazed you kissed him 🤣🤣

Yea bugger that 😂

[@chefpaul7518]

Eels are covered in thick mucus, which is why they are so slippery. I bet Gordon immediately regretted giving it a kiss

[@luscus9754]

This brings back memories of catching eels in the creek behind our house in Birdwood Road, Swanson, Auckland, NZ about 1966 ish. Put them in a wet potato sack on the incinerator (44 Gallon drum burning manuka) to smoke them. Verrrrrrrry tasty they were. 62 years old now living in OZ and miss the culture. I am a Pakeha proud and very respectful of the the Maori people and culture.

[@SuperDad58458]

I am like you. Bought up with cuzzy bro's, i'm Pakeha. Loved eeling in the rivers. Smoked eel is the most beautiful moist meat.

And that is how you treat animals take only what's necessary to eat and let the rest live to reproduce and if it's really old leave it alone

[@jimmyjamesmalngiang4273]

Wow the water is so clean, crystal clear 😍.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

they are in the Matukituki Valley, on the east side of the Southern Alps, inland from Lake Wanaka. The water is straight of the mountains, no-one living in the area. So in general, that would be safe water to drink. You get snow melt or spring water. The water in the Southern Lakes area is known for it's clarity which can be deceiving. It is easy to go in over your head when getting off a boat or walking across a river crossing. You can see the bottom so clearly and you assume it's only 2 or 3 feet deep.... whoops !!!

[@gigizack]

Looks like those eels have been sedated for the shooting

[@colonelfustercluck486]

that is their normal behaviour. They move fast only when hooked or thrown up a river bank. Normally if they swim, it is a slow 'glide', otherwise they will be just sitting still in a secluded spot, especially under a cut out river bank or under a submerged tree.

[@GetRocked69]

Sedation doesn't work on cold-blooded animals the way it works on warm blooded animals

Atleast actually watch the video. There's many ways to catch it but he's trying to do it the traditional Maori way

[@colonelfustercluck486]

they are almost ungrab-able. They are so slippery. You have to have your hands well under their body to throw them up the riverbank (without trying to grab it) There are other methods though.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

could you explain the concept of 'stunt fish'? And how this was staged? This is an eel, behaving exactly like a typical eel. I didn't notice any stunts, like the eel taking a punch and rolling with it or getting thrown thru the saloon window.

[@NothernSide]

Haha the eel has telltale signs of bumping against the glass of a store fish tank. Well it's not surprising these catches are mostly staged.

Those are lamprey not eels; the two are wholly unrelated.

[@scottloar]

@@angelconstantino6551 Lampreys have suckers exactly as described by the New Zealand guide, eel have fully developed jaws among other differences. Oh, I almost forgot - lmao.

[@scottloar]

@Muffinconsumer4 "They'll travel up that waterfall; they've got a mouth that just suctions on to it.." This tells you everything you need to know, and look to the pictures showing the mouth. Eels have jaws and snake-like heads, and despite the popular confusion between the two eels and lampreys are unrelated. But rather jaw, jaw, jaw why don't you spend a few minutes and learn the difference? Oh yeah, lmao...

[@scottloar]

@Muffinconsumer4 You're right. lmao

[@scottloar]

@Muffinconsumer4 I missed an obvious point, I was wrong.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

it is true that they are unrelated. But those are NZ eels. They do have a mouth that attaches to most things quite well, but that's their zillions of mini or micro teeth that make it hard for them to release things.

[@Omarii47_]

Where is the real Māori tho?! These are some straight up culture culture white boys that got an English accent. lol tf!!

[@avixs1543]

You better watch that tongue boy, you don't need to be brown or black to be Māori, you tauiwi don't have the right to judge who is and isnt a ''real' Māori. don't you dare comment shit like this about people and culture you clearly know nothing about... and btw im Māori... and this comment is extremely disrespectful and arrogant. educate yourself before making a comment like this again... Haere rā

[@avixs1543]

that man is of Māori decent, don't you dare think you have the authority to dictate who is a ''real'' Māori... also thats a kiwi accent, the fact you called that an english accent clearly shows you know nothing about our home Aotearoa...

[@taraishot100]

If you have ever been here you know that there are plenty of eels here everyone catches them in our local rivers they’re easy if you know what you’re doing.. there’s also fresh water crayfish in there as well some fish it’s really fun

[@efrenateneo7059]

They just put the eel it's not naturally there. Because you can see the White part on the tip of its mouth which indicate that the eel was put in the net.

[@skittles696]

Eels are naturally found in water like that, we have them everywhere here.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

FFS? Eels are everywhere there. I've been there. Eels have white bits, eels have black bits. What net are you talking about? there was no net.
