Jeremy Wade is a full blown Marine Biologist and you can witness this every time he catches a giant fish…..Jeremy puts back the creature very gently afraid of hurting it. You can tell that he really cares a lot about those creatures he catches and careful puts it back. Such a wonderful scientist tbh!

[@MS-ht9it]

You can be both gentle and destructive.... fish still die or stop reproducing after being "released". It's incredibly traumatizing for fish to be pulled out of water.

[@joelabella750]

@@MS-ht9it True but being as a Marine Biologist...it's safe to say that Jeremy Wade knows exactly on how to handle fish hence why you will NEVER see him throwing the fish that he catches wily-nilly & sloppily....he takes care of them very gently even when releasing it back in the water. Professional bass fishermen don't even do this...

[@Gamerafighter76]

@Kai Delaney my favorite episode is when he caught the Greenland Shark.

[@Anthobvs]

If I may spread some of my knowledge here, these big boys are a good example of insular gigantism. Along the millenials, a species evolving in an environment with lots of food and no natural predators will keep becoming bigger and bigger. This specific species of crayfish just did that. They're isolated in Tasmania, so basically their ecological niche is very unlikely to be threatened by another animal, which means they aren't in competition with anybody for food. The opposite happens when several species are belonging to the same ecological niche, they tend to become smaller because of the lack of food and/or the presence of predators.

I was born in a farm in the jungles of Guatemala. As a child, I caught crayfish that size in the rivers and streams in that region. Sadly, when all the farms there started to plant sugar cane, all the creatures living in those rivers died as the rivers and streams became polluted with chemicals from the sugar cane mills.

I remember in the 1980's in California as a kid I used to see giant crayfish that must have been 12" or larger (including tail). They were massive. And a bit frightening to a small kid. The creeks were teaming with life. But after the 1982 - 1983 great floods everything was washed away and never came back. And I think just to many people fishing and just to many people all over the place. Probably never see creek life like that again or of the sizes and quantities again. There was so much going on in the creeks back then.

[@horrordude83]
