We got it all over here in central Florida and south Florida haha

Interesting invasive species. You should know also that nearly everything growing in and around that stream are not native plants of Florida. That whole area is full of invasive species in and out of the water.

Man I’m so jealous! This looks sooo fun! Thanks for the vid, please do more collecting vids!

I know invasive fish are bad... but this looks like so much fun! Being from the far north, we can't do anything like this here.

Hell yea! New collecting video! Love to see this out there, we need to educate people more about our natives! Don’t forget to try out collecting up northern Florida in the Evergladesor the green swamp! Check out the Pygmy sunfish species, you can breed them in a 5 gallon. The males do a lil dance to the females and it’s so pretty! I would highly suggest checking out the Pygmy sunfish, such amazing natives!

Love the variatus! So pretty and so easy to breed.

Looks like so much fun!!!!!

Great video looking forward to more of your wild collecting videos

Chumming for cichlids. Who knew? I hope those convicts aren't fat and happy on native species. *HEAVY SIGH*

I had a smile for 14 minutes 43 seconds. Really enjoyed watching this video. That was a great, fun afternoon. Great video!

Great catch!! I cant wait for spring and summer up here in PA.

Undoubtedly the creek keeps flowing so it stays fresh, fed from an underground spring somewhere at some point down the line. Otherwise you'd see stagnant conditions.

Hey .... this vid inspired me enough to buy 2 fish traps ( first one cheap cheap cheap and broke 2nd day) and a good strong net for dipping in 3 ponds on the property here in N.W.C. Florida. Moved out of Orlando to the country 20yrs ago and I'll never go back to city life. I love the swampland I live in now. And really get off on the strange sounds at night way back in the swamp. LOVE IT.

Where exactly is this? I’m trying to do the same thing!

u guys a pretty lucky to have loads of freshwater fish. up here in vancouver its really hard to find wild freshwater fish unless u drive 3 hours inland.

Such a great idea. Removing them from an environment that they can ruin and setting them up elsewhere in captivity while also reducing the need a little for taking them from their native waters

Could they also be escaping from aquarium fish farms in Florida? I've seen videos of some of the farms and they've got fish running around everywhere outside of their tanks they could just drain right out into water somewhere

Very Cool guys I'm in Spring hill wich is more west you think if I try going twords central like Close to Orlando I might find some places? I'm 69 and it's my hobby too I Love to do that while I can still get around lol thank for the video love them

I would like to know where this is because I live in Miami and really want catch colorful fish because the mollies in my backyard dont have colors but the midas Cichlids are cool but would love to catch platies and convicts

Lol didn't I tell you about that spot me and Rick like that place. On the other side of the stream you'll find more plants let's fish

What part of Florida is this

I would prefer wild caught invasive platies over bred ones. The dogs i own are also strays. I like the more raw look they have, bot dogs and fish. Unfortunately i am in northern europe.

Can you tell me where that place is I am interested in catching some fish for my small pond with waterfall in my yard if you could help me thanks and interesting channel

That’s so awesome you grab them in the wild. Everytime I see you catching them. I want to go down to the water to see what I could catch.

they wer butiful

Where is this i live in Miami so

11 month ago but i still like this videos✌️😁

I saw a wild convict once didn’t last long he was soon caught

Ever caught a water moccasin?

could perhaps keep convicts in a outdoor pond with things too large to be eaten?

Can you set up a tank with sand or gravel plants and these fish and make a video please?

Whats your quarantine process for these wild caughts. I usually just use deworm/anti-parasite and watch them for a week.

Lucky Schmuck's Fish Cave I find that I have more luck keeping wild caught natives alive better than store bought fish, they are so much hardier and most diseases they have are external parasites like black spot, so I just give them a 15 minute salt dip and they are good to go!

I was watching a sports fishing video from Florida and saw them catching huge Plecos, which are having a very negative impact on the environment. Cory was eating them in Peru, I think as a novelty food item it might help decimate or drop the population if someone made Deep fried Plecos on a stick? Plecos de Jour? Jerked Pleco?

It's amazing all the jackasses that release these fish into the wild where they don't belong. My neighbor recently told me that she had a snail infestation in her freshwater aquarium. She is a bit of a bleeding heart so she released a bunch into a local lake here in NJ. I flipped out on her, which I am sure didn't help with neighborly relations. I'm just hoping that the freezing weather we get will kill them ..

Can’t even say “free fish,” really because purchase of the fish is the least of their expenses and those guys would need some quarantining with medications more than likely but good you’re taking these out from where they don’t belong anyway. Here in California and other states, we’re having a very bad time with New Zealand mudsnails. Even if fish eat them whole, their shells can protect them so they pass through alive and to populate another day!

Seems like you guys find a lot of invasive aquarium species, but none of the native species in Florida save the few Blue Fin Killies from the other video...
