The dedication you put into training your animals is absolutely astounding. Your knowledge is undeniable

Hella agree

Omg wyatt looks to have learned the job already. Struggled abit with the first few but then got into his groove by taking out the last ones in epic time.

Wyatt is such a slinky minky. So graceful yet deadly efficient

I wish I had as much control over my breathing to dive like this little guy😅 you can hear how quickly he gets breath and goes rigjt back under water for more.

looks like a little eel swimming like that, incredible

Bindi and tag in the background is also eager to do what wyatt is doing. 😂

Who needs a fishing license when you have a Mink 😂

I could just watch this every week.

This was sooo cool to watch! Look at the water bubble over the special fur and undercoat. So amazing to watch these animals do what they do naturally, but enjoy doing it as a partnership with their handler. Super awesome!!

Awesome job Joseph and team 👏 he is an awesome cash mink so far ✌👍👍👍

Wyatt is such a little hunter! Great prey drive, and so responsive to your training! I notice that his coat doesn't dry out when he shakes, like a mature mink's coat does - is that because he's young? maybe has a "baby" coat? Thanks for sharing this Joe!

So graceful yet so deadly

Bindi is jealous she wants to hunt fish too 😢😂

Wyatt is definitely meant to hunt at a high level.

His species are ferocious predators

Awesome I love watching your mink do what mink do..thank you

Love how tag and mini boss just sit in the background

Slam dunk! esp w cacheing very good!

The theme music to JAWS comes to mind.

I've noticed before that different mink have not only different personalities, but different proficiencies. Wyatt seems to be an excellent fisherman; have you tried him out on mice or young rats yet? Be interesting to see what else he might be good at.

@@JosephCartertheMinkMan Awesome; ratting, fishing, decent caching, good with the kids...that is one helluva mink you've raised up there~

Great video -- amazing how much meat that little mink can put away.

Now Wyatt you're supposed to wait 30 minutes before going swimming after eating! 😂😂

4:49 he’s like where is the fish? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not long ago when me and my friend were fishing a mink came upto us, had absolutely no fear of humans and just sat there. I think people had been feeding it, it sqeeked at us a couple of times i think it was asking for food.

Those cute critters eat alot

I absolutely love this channel ❤❤❤

Now that's what you call swimming lessons LOL😊😊

Great film.

Thank you, Joseph & Maggie, great to see Tag learning, along with Wyatt, thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍

Have you tried moving the crate around? I could see how he would get comfortable with knowing to cache in the same exact spot. Moving it while he is in the water might train him to look for it, cuz when you are actually hunting he can’t go from habit

Yeah, I do that most of the time.

Well done Wyatt! A true hunter!

He sure got the hang of it after the first two, he's gonna be fun out in the wild! 😱👏👏

Very impressive. That's an interesting setup where you might be able to see is some of the mink are born more coordinated than others. Also it probably builds confidence to open their eyes underwater where in a dirty environment the eyes would be more irritated from pollution.

It goes to show how good there eye site is under water and how determined they are I'm hoping to get 1 next year carnt wait

Your hard work shows. Enjoyed! Thanks

He is great at caching fish looks good for muskrat caching as long as he doesn't have the fever from red blood

And they taught us to dive for golf balls maybe it should have been sardines instead😊😊

Awww! Reminds of mamba! Is he descended from her at all?

Excellent video mate

Should have put the fish back in the tank once they were caught. Could have used them many times over, they would have definitely kept swimming lol

Great video!!!

Well trained.

Felt like I was watching 300 with all the slow motion shots.

Very cool.

You may have said this before, but how long can mink hold their breath? Wyatt did pretty good with catching the fish, in pretty fast time at that!

He’s beautiful

so much energy.. got dang..

great job Wyatt

Outstanding!

Very cute!

Amazing

He loves it! Just wondering what happened to the tip of his tail is bare?

What did you feed him after he was finished fishing? It looked like ground beef or another ground meat.

Nice❤❤

Mink wil maybe the solution to reduce the invasive crayfish in Holland. In here is a real problem.

He's doing so good he thinks his name is goodboii

Man you could go fishing and have him grab your bait right at the spot. Anybody notice Bindhi in the shot for a good portion of the vid

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Woohoo, the fish are getting big! Goid for him and You. Sooo, who eats the fish then, at the end of the day?

imagine minks that hunt land, air, and sea

As a new viewer, I'm curious what this training is aiming to accomplish. Is he being trained to be released into the wild? Thanks!

His mink work in pest control. I suppose this is to get him used to taking prey under water which he might never have had to do if he was born on a farm.

It looks like he initially just played with them.

Wyatt will eat all the fish as well ?

Has a TV director ever offered to cast you your own TV show?

Too male, too pale for contemporary TV. Maybe if he actually identified as a mink, or if he was the mink ma'am, who knows...

Do you teach all the mink to fish?

@jimmynich4791

I think all mink can fish anyway, I'm sure fish is a large part of their diet in the wild, I think the training is to do with caching the fish after they've been caught.

Torpedo mink

Can Wyatt go fishing with me? 😅

Bendi seems bored about the fishing thing

You should get a cat
