Lucky Schmuck's Fish Cave I’ve been subscribed to Cory for a couple of years now, just love his videos and his ideas, he’s amazing! This is a fun video! Thanks!

Pink shorts from Walmart, butterfly nets, 'gators. What more could one want?! Leeches?! GIANT DRAGONFLY LARVAE?! Great vid! Looks like it was a blast!

Hey man, that fish that you guys thought was another Killifish is actually a darter, it’s in the perch family. The genus Of The darter you guys caught is etheostoma and I’m pretty sure it is a swamp darter. Just like many gobies, darters do not have a swim bladder so they hop along the bottom. They are fantastic snail eaters and some of the 150+ species of darters are the most colourful fish in the world. I would love to see you guys keeping them and exposing this amazing native to the public! Thanks!

Chewy Ltd yea I am aware the struggle, I have many Canadian friends, it sucks for you guys man, really...

I actually enjoy the more unusual videos fish keepers create. I get bored of so many in shop vids or in fish room aquascaping....that’s why I love watching that cool guy who takes the empty tank out into the wild at different locations and uses the water right there then catches the fish right there and Scapes with all the nautical greens, woods n rocks on location. Then he sets them all free after wards. Can’t recall his name atm .

I'm so glad you are making vids with Cory! Do this again sometime!

Here where I live in Port Saint Lucie there is a spot that is full of blue fin killis , and beautiful golden topminows. I have also collected super Melanistic mosquito fish males in the same place. I was impressed how this place in the middle of the city can have such a variety of species

I live in psl too it’s crazy to go to some spots and find beautiful fish in the wild!

Looks like you guys had a great time. I always like seeing native wild fish. 👍💕👍

I used to keep native fish over 40 years ago. I had a warmouth and would collect shrimp and gambousia as feeders. I would keep anything that was interesting. Flag fish, dace, crawfish were a few species I remember keeping as pets. I'm thinking of building a garden pond and stocking it with native fish. Getting out there with a net will definitely bring back some good childhood memories.

There is NOTHING more fun than collecting wild native fish, shrimp, plants and stuff. I have to get down to Fla. Those Sailfins are beautiful.

Can't wait to get out and do some collecting, we live out in China and planning on getting into some streams out in the rural countryside to see what we can find. Love this sort of stuff, nice work!

The thin insect was misidentified as a dragonfly nymph. It was a damselfly nymph around 12:20.

Very nice! Looks like you guys had a great time.

I love this video for a change up in your channel it’s really interesting.

Great video.

That’s so awesome guys

Great vid. I get teased about wading around with a net to do the same. Glad to see like-minded folks .

That’s a huge dragonfly nymph! The thing that was called a dragonfly nymph is most likely damselfly.

Looks fun. I’ll have to pack a net when I head down to FL this Fall. 👍

When ever I see leeches I think of Humphrey Bogart in the African Queen. **SHUDDER** Very enjoyable video to watch.

I didn't even know we have these fish in florida! I went behind my house and netted out some gambusia which i now have in my tank :p

Aaww Corey! Looks like you guys had a fun time!

Collaboration is key! Great job guys

Yes, Cory is the guy that falls, but he is the absolute best!!! Love him!!!@

when i was younger i lived in queensland australia. i collected, bred and released lots of pacific blue-eyed rainbowfish. they are the less well-known dwarf rainbowfish but are far more outgoing than fork-tail blue eyes spotted blue eyes, the two more "beautiful" dwarf rainbows. imo being outgoing is very important for fish that are usually kept in solitary or in pairs (dwarf rainbowfish don't school or shoal). they really deserve to be more popular among hobbyists. for me it was also easier keeping them than keeping other fish because i could collect them with the river water they came from. and whenever i couldn't care for them, like going on holidays with family etc., i could just release them back into where they were collected. it was fun. but now i live in melbourne. with the dreaded 20ppm tap water, i have to chuck $20 worth of KH and GH supplements into my tanks every month. not fun at all.

This was entertaining watching cory with that net. Gotta love the smallest live bearer in the world!!!

I live in Sweden, and for around 20 years ago, me and my family went to Greece. I was hoping to collect any Aphanius species. Didnt find on the Island Creete, only Gambusia affinis. They was everywhere 😀, but it was cool the Catch them instead. Took some home, and had them for years in my outside pond. In Winther l took them inside...

Cool video

Cory cracks me up with all his little side of the neck jokes he cracks about falling and getting bit by bugs. Lmao I was laughing so much.

wild cory!

cool fish! hopefully I can make my vids like yours!

Not sure what part of Florida you are...but many many many years ago I used to catch huge sailfin mollies in the drainage canals up in Belle Glade, near Lake Okeechobee. They were gorgeous fish and they were what I started with....I loved it...have no idea if there are stil l any up in that area or not

Dragonfly larva, had one that ate my snails before I knew it was in the tank!

7:15 that looks like a type of DragonFly larvae. They come in many shapes, sizes, colors. They are all somewhat terrifying looking. I hatched some DamselFly larvae this month and last month.

I have used a cast net and caught tons of sailfin mollies.. couple dozen per cast easy

What dreams are made of.. 😍

New subscriber! Love your content! Yes that is a Darter you collected! I'm in Casselberry, FL! That's so awesome you got to go collecting with Cory!!!!! I have a lot of collected sailfin mollies they're awesome you can keep them in really big schools! They have really cool hierarchy!!!! The more girls the better! I have wild collected Flag Fish & baby bull head catfish! As well as the grass shrimp ( clear shrimp ) & Crawfish!! Lmk if you need some!

LOL you guys should take me with you the next time you go out .. you might need a seasoned Floridian... LOL!

Really enjoyed this video. What kind of temperature swings do you think that lake experiences like day to dark or during thunderstorms and such? I know around here in our rivers and ponds the temp can change drastically at time, from extreme heat in the summer as in like literally 90 degree water to down in the 40s and 50s during fall and winter. Just curious, thanks for the great content. I live in eastern NC btw

I would like to get some Least Killies, but have only ever caught two and didn't have my bucket either time. Another fun fish I got was brook silverside. I hope sometime soon to set up all my tanks and get more species. It's crazy you found Platies and Swordtails. I never would have thought to even look for such a thing.

What kind of filter system do you use?

Cory needs to get some muck boots.

You guys did this the hard way! Granted it’s fun mucking around but ever thought of getting a small crate, cutting slits in the side, open them up a bit, Putting in some bait food, submerge and wait a few minutes, catches hundreds of fish! I’ve used it and the fish can’t get out and you can sort thru and put back the rest.

If you ever goto Tallahassee I know some great collecting spots for fish and plants

Not sure if someone mentioned it yet but the bottom dweller is a swamp darter

Wow so lucky wish we could do this up North but nothing that worthwhile keeping as pets here.

I recently moved to Vero Beach FL. I have been doing a lot of wild collecting myself. So far i am keeping Golden top minnow, Gambusia, Hopolo Cats, Dwarf / pygmy Sunfish and some type of freshwater shrimp. Which i have breeding in 100% freshwater so i know its not ghost shrimp. I have my eyes on a couple of spots with bluefin Kili , least kili , and some other pretty exciting non native species. Ill be making some videos in the next couple of weeks. If you are any where near Vero let me know , maybe we can do a tour day. I would like to go way south for a weekend and get to some more tropical and more colorful species.I also keep saltwater and i hear past miami you start to get into some serious honey holes.

That unknown fish is a swamp darter I used to catch and keep them all the time

I caught a couple small ones but they wouldn't eat and ended up dying. How did you get yours to live?

Damn wish I was out there with you guys...this is amazing :) I just got four female and one male Xiphophorus helleri that I'm trying to breed with some blue swords...looks like the one female has camallanus....which means they all now have camallanus. Levamisole here I come...lol I don't know if you or any of your subs know anything about camallanus but I'm hoping someone has some tips. The first time I got this parasite was from a commercial chain store and it was literally hell getting rid of them. Not exaggerating. Literally hell. From what I understand the wild caught fish have a different, albeit natural, "version" of callallanus where they aren't resistant to normal medications. The ones I had before were from fish farms, generations pumped full of medications I'm sure, so they built up a resistance. Nothing I put in had any effect whatsoever. Anyone have any feedback? Hopefully someone will read this lol anyway love the video and you got a new sub :)

Sailfin mollies are common thruout Fla in fresh and brackish water..most drainage ditches, shorelines of ponds, etc will have them..they appear very plain from above, look for iridescent green tail of adult males..they are usually in schools of 5-10..they are cautious and fast, usually best to approach slowly and stand still and wait for them to come into range..

put worms or food in your nets, I used to as a kid and just rest it there until the fish came to me !
