Bro caught a giant eel!
It must have been a real strong tide to wash that up on the beach.hard to believe.
Thank you! this is awesome footage. Do you know what the current does in relation to the tied? i.e. does the current direction lag a few hours to the tide?
What do you do for a living? This is soooo cool!

Hello! We have a UA-cam channel and would like to know if we could use some of your content from this video Of course we'll give you a good credit for that which would give you hundreds even thousands of views bringing you more subscribers. Please let me know if that is OK? Thank you!
nice 1 in scotland we call this....... eff all .....lol
I like your channel is the best video in the USA today
Def not an American eel. That’s a saltwater conger eel. Very similar to American eel except they live in the ocean instead of fresh water.
Next time dream should be come true :) So grab some time for it :)
Wenn man mit so einer Zauberflasche im Lotto gewinnen kann, dann hätte ich sehr gerne eine davon! 😎🤘🏻 If you can win the lottery with a magic bottle like this, then I would love to have one of them! 😎🤘🏻
It is so sad that people in this day and age feel so upset and worried that they feel the need to make a witch bottle and to throw it into the sea.But there is a lot of awful things going in the world and at times like this people do what gives them comfort. But it is good that this man is collecting them and giving them a good home as we don't need more litter in the sea! 👍😊
My mother did witchcraft. I would not mock or dismiss this stuff ....please dont take them home, dont collect them, please burn them. This is evil stuff and designed to bring evil spirits to anyone that takes them... I lived this black satanic culture. I want nothing to do with it, so much so I care nothing for my mother. Dont play with the dark side, dont seek it, dont invite this into your life under any circumstance. GOD is real and the enemy is real....you choose. You want blessings, prosperity, love happiness then respect and honor the GOD that loves you and stay away from this garbage. If not, you will only find misery, hate, anger, poverty and darkness. People think this is cute or their too cool for GOD, and dismiss HIS warnings, and sure nothing happens to you right away but in time you will see the curse that comes over you.
Why didn't you just cut a square around dial and pull the gears to release the pins hold door locked ?????
Spells aren't real but littering is real. Glad this guy is trying to clean up.
What do you thinking praying is?? lol what do we say after prayers? Amen, right? It’s the kinda the same as so mote it be.
says who?
You are in danger if you think so.
Just people that are bored and love polluting the sea, nothing to see here.
How do you know those are witch bottles? Can you please find and send me a couple of them?
All over Bluewater bay beaches lots of them
During my visit to Seaview near Port Elizabeth, South Africa, I came across some unfamiliar rubber-like blocks 👆🏻👆🏻Just like these🫣. Interesting!
Now found on St Francis Beach, South Africa.
Jace, we miss you! Hope all is ok with you. Hoping you’ll start posting videos again. Let us know ?
That's pretty cool. You get to play a part in data recovery of the worlds oceans.
The turtle at 1:08 was like "hold up, I'm stuck on the railing NEVER MIND I JUST DID A SICK SPIN WATER LANDING" and the teenage turtles in the vicinity were like "Radical, dude!"
Well that was 4:50 of my life gone....
I found one today! It was so beautiful and iridescent! Had to come find it what it was. Looks magical.
I was at Malachite Beach!
Are orange weather balloons the cause for the entrapment of these sweet turtles as well? 😢😢😢😭
I have not witnessed any sea turtles being wrapped up in a weather balloon, but I've seen turtle bites in the balloon and in the parachute of the weather balloons, so I know there is an impact. Jace
Hahahahaha
angle grinder.
🤣😂
What you came for 4:13
Sorry guys.. hoped more money for the arc.....
Too funny!
Good job Jeraldo....lol
Awww....bummer 😂
What's amazing is all of this positive change from a Fisher woman. It just goes to show, that faith in a mustard seed(the tiniest of seeds) can bloom into an awesome spectacular tree.
The industrial revolution is the precursor to cancer. All worshipping at the altar of money. Money is just a piece of fancy printed paper. And most of the money nowdays is getting progressively devalued. The amount of debt vs printed money is so far removed. But our oceans , and bays, and harbors are better than gold. They are the lifeblood of our sustenance. Industrial companies had little to no regard for dumping toxic waste in our waters. Thank you Fisher lady for standing up against big money corps. Your work and efforts make this world a better and healthier place. And thank you to your entire teams that protect our marine-life/wildlife. Cancer hits to close to home and it's because of all the pollution in our foods and water. All that pollution goes immediately into our waters , water-streams, to wildlife, and eventually into our lives. There's song by Coldplay called the scientist.. That song reverberates in this issue. Willie Nelson has a great cover as well.
Just my thoughts...you said in your update that the immigrants had half a gallon of water left, but your video showed gallons of water in the boat. Maybe that isn't the same boat you had read about? Were there any photos to confirm that was same boat? Just a thought. Thumbs up on the channel.
Vey interesting.. hope the vessel didnt meet with disasyer.. storm hurricane etc... hope you hear..
I always thought ants would do this with the Nurdles on the railroad tracks after watching this video I checked out the ant hails on the railroad tracks behind my house in Colorado and I found 4 nurdles I found this very interesting.
Out of curiosity where did you find the bottle? How far are you from where it was thrown in? Thanks
Near Port Aransas, Texas.
Thank you!
Thank you for the info! Great to see the ecosystems living in it.. baby sea turtles like is as well right?
yes, absolutely! baby sea turtles use it as habitat until they are big enough to swim off and feed in other areas of the ocean. thanks!
They’re sort of magical, we found them on a beach near Simon’s Town in Cape Town , South Africa. Picked it up with a white Mussel shell.😏
