Snorkeling in my eel pit!

[@FavineMoore]

Man, it's crazy how this dude has a super villain lair, and is just chilling with fish homies.

[@kreathyr8270]

True but it could be much cooler, i would invest some money and remove the concrete floor and make it alot deeper, add a hatch to the top plus stairs and a small deck to chill.

[@ErikHammel109]

@@kreathyr8270 Good idea

[@abundantharmony]

That's awesome. When I was a kid, I used to pretend to swim in fish tanks. Like the ones in Chinese restaurants. It's a different world under there.

[@gladeseason3462]

real but this is my dream because I wanted to swim in actual fish tanks and sit inside boxes and shit. This is the dream

For real, if the pit was streamed 24/7 I would just have it on all day

Lofi eel pits to chill and listen to

[@SirKingHoff]

imagine a little remote controlled submarine with a cam + light on it (✯◡✯)

[@drewsmith9809]

Pretty cool idea..

[@spoopyd.8910]

Just a casual dude bro snorkeling with his pet fish.

[@zennyfieldster4220]

This Is like “endless ocean” where you have a huge aquarium to dive in and you can stock it with any fish you’ve discovered in the game. You can even put whales in it.

[@asrathz1196]

Wow someone else knows this game exists

[@1acym460]

Never heard of the game myself, where can I find it? Edit: just looked it up and found out it was on the wii

[@theseerllama]

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS CALLED. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THAT GAME FOR YEARS

[@onionman88]

Absolutely adorable how they let you pet them and swim around with lil food in their mouths

[@cobalt1754]

The fact you can hang out with your fish in their pit sick as hell! And the pit is relaxing af. You're living the best life a dude can.

[@smokymountainangoras]

Strawberries and Cream is a sweetie !!!! 💕🍰

[@Kossa-Odessa]

I stumbled upon a video of the eel pit a few days ago when scrolling shorts and I’m so glad I did.

[@sharim]

I’m so jealous that you took an Eel Pit dive! It must have been brrrrrrr cold in there!

[@jameson7276]

The school I'm working at this week has a little aquaponics setup with a group of tilapia in a clear tank. They get really excited every time anyone wanders by their tank, I guess because humans will feed them. It's kind of cute.

[@turtle7288]

My dwarf rainbow fish do that, whenever I walk by to do some plant maintenance or add fertilizer they get excited and frantically swim near the surface

[@gritgritgrit]

One of the coolest projects on youtube, Kudos bro!!!

[@MoreStake]

You should leave a sound recorder overnight and post the ambience sound of the eel pit. The occasional splashes and water dropping sound gonna be lit

[@tastyneck]

I said it before but I'll say it again: I've never been invested in an eel pit as much as I am with this one.

[@ateiviz]

Bro, I didn't even know these existed and I'm all in 😂

[@TheSandwhichman108]

Seeing fish from an underwater perspective feels so different. Instead of a no thoughts head empty look you usually see it feels like there’s a soul behind those eyes that also sees you from a very different perspective when your in there turf.

[@Monke11777]

I remember running across this channel when the eel pit first started up and to come across i again and to see how much it’s grown is amazing. Keep living the dream man

[@bunnybazooka]

That clip that got "messed up" was actually a super cool and artistic looking shot haha, like a wong kar wai shot

Brother. This channel just keeps getting better. Awesome idea to snorkel with them. Can't wait to see how this all evolves! Best of luck to you, and I hope you get rich and famous big time one day! Is there any reason you can't fill the tank to like halfway or something?

Do you think this could be viable for farming fish such as catfish for food? I have 3 unused cisterns about this size. Thinking about converting to farm cat fish

Always nice to see some big Goldfish. Sad to see that most people think that they stay the same size for their entire lives

Looks cold lol I've yet to encounter gar in the wild during a dive but id bet they'd be pretty chill

Fantastic video. Great, wide-screen footage. Keep 'em coming!

[@WobblesandBean]

[@tweeds2140]

Question: where is this eel pit? The internet says this is your basement, but I can't imagine this room is below a house, it's just so rugged. It looks to me like you're in an old abandoned factory or bomb shelter - something industrial and pragmatic. Naked concrete box with a hole in the roof to get in and out. How is this part of a house? Forgive me if you've explained this a lot before, I'm new here and couldn't find out on my own.

[@CowTurtle]

It’s a rainwater cistern under way my garage. The opening is in the front corner of my garage.

[@holnrew]

Jason is a great name for a fish

[@kevq761]

Love watching your videos but i bet that water was cold

[@smacman68]

You should get one of those giant catfish that Hannah Barron pulls out of their holes when she goes noodling. They're just massive. Like 100 lbs or so. She is fearless. There's no way on God's Green Earth I would even swim those waters, let alone reach into a hole on the bottom that has a monster living in it. I have seen what happens if you get close to a snapping turtle or gar. You lose fingers. And then there's snakes, leaches...all sorts of lovely creatures. lol he would be the star of your show! Maybe not one THAT big. Maybe a 50 pounder. Love your channel!

[@christianhomburgtreysa4964]

I love your Video in the Eel Pit and I hope you many many years of fun with it

[@lichiehrb]

Be that a pond of guppies and you'd be eaten up slowly 😂😂😂At least from my experience with my tiny little bastards 😂😂😂 lol

[@Swindle1984]

I bet he could grow edible mushrooms, like oyster mushrooms or chicken of the woods, on some driftwood down there quite easily.

[@matthewcollins8189]

damn some of the coolest fresh water fish. what will end up being bigger? the gar or sturgeon?

[@svenboi3965]

Little aquarium fish get chill like this too. Stick your arm in holding a pinch of food and they’ll be all over you in a minute.

[@PotooBurd]

[@robertmiller2831]

So don’t corporal cuddle the fish. Can we cuddle cuttlefish? 🤔

[@RedneckHodler]

When I was a young boy we used to catch the fish's by hand from the river. Like sun fish etc. now after 25 years there is no any fish in that river 😮

Don’t grip the fish. Words to live by.

[@benselander1482]

I wonder what Ian Malcolm would say about this..

[@cvc2907]

Do the fish need plant life? Or is that impossible in a cave like that.

[@ballistic350]

How you even create such pit?

[@neutronshiva2498]

You've GOT to add muskie into the pit.

[@adilkhan77k]

i know it sounds weird but you sound like you look 😂😂

[@4orFun]

The walls are gonna be letting a lot of toxic soon you’re gonna need to empty it and take everything out renovate it then add a big pond tarp going 5 t- 6 feet around the 4 walls going down covering the ground then after you can add natural rocks and caves inside not concrete bricks. You’re also going to need a big ventilation system and good oxygen pump. And the last and final part is a your gonna need 4 of these one on each wall “ILUMINAR 750/600 WATT 347V DOUBLE ENDED LIGHT FIXTURE, GROW LIGHTS, COMMERCIAL” after that your gonna need to time it with your day So when ever is morning you turn them on and when it gets dark outside you turn them off. So it represents day and night for the fish.
