how you going lion fishing sucks you sit
in the sun being a useless idiot most of
the time catching
nothing then when you do it's usually
something you don't
[Music]
want taxi
taxi but then I realized a
fish is kind of like an engine so I
could use them as a renewable energy
source so today I'm going to attach a
bunch to the front of my boat until I
have enough to never need a regular
motor ever again oh you picking up speed
right now all right first I need to work
out what kind of fish I'm going to use
so I made this fish scale with a couple
of different factors like power
slipperiness easiness to catch and
resilience and at the top of the power
scale we have the Marlon which would be
the perfect f for this experiment as
they are powerful and I would only need
one to pull a boat however men spend
their whole lives trying to catch this
fish and the only thing they usually get
is a lot of debt and then divorced which
I don't want to happen again then I have
the king fish which are plentiful in
Sydney and I know from experience that
they have more than enough power to pull
you underwater like this one that's
pulling my mate so two would probably be
enough but I've only ever caught them
spearing and I don't think they going to
be very good at pulling a boat when they
have a spear through them which leaves
me with a couple more common fish first
we have the long fin to eel which are
very resilient very powerful very easy
to catch but very slippery and bitey and
I cannot imagine harnessing them oh my
God he's so smart slippery as an eel I
also have the Bonito which fight really
hard and are everywhere but I know from
experience that they also have very soft
flesh so they're just going to rip
themselves apart in the harness which
has left me with the infamous carp
hated by everyone in Australia for
destroying our rivers and tasting
horrible but I think they get a bad rap
and we just don't like them cuz Chinese
people eat them and now they plague our
waterways and I felt their power and
also know they are extremely resilient
while also being everywhere so I'm going
to go with them and before I strap a
bunch of them to the front of the boat I
need to find out how much one carp can
pull just to give me an indication I'm
on the right track now I've gone out to
par Lake which is a very nostalgic spot
for me I wag School andum jumped off
this rock with friends I punched my
first cone under this ledge and I sucked
off my first man under those lily pads
which is exactly where I'm going to
cast and after a couple of hours of
hanging around with nothing happening I
changed spot and nothing happened so I
changed spot again and I did 6 hours of
fishing on this day and got absolutely
nothing except
sunburnt so I tried again a day later
and while fish aren't biting in real
life the sponsor of today's video
fishing Clash gives you an opportunity
to fish anywhere and anytime fishing
Clash is a super realistic fishing game
where you can compete with other players
around the world to catch the biggest
and rarest fish use your skills and
upgrade your lures and rods which are
much better than the ones I'm using to
catch and collect hundreds of incredible
fish they have heaps of amazing
locations of fish like why be at this
stinky River in penth where I could be
in Breezy Florida and they also have all
of my dream fish the black grouper the
nurse shark peow my favorite freshwater
fish the arima and all of these
highquality catchable fish are giving me
a sea chop fishing Clash is doing a

to the link in the description okay back
to boring fishing and while I still
hadn't caught anything some bogans
nearby caught a big cup so I ran over
and beat him up and stole it and after
putting it back in the water it managed
to pull 2.5 kilos on the scale which is
fantastic news so then I hooked the
scale up to the boat we going to use and
pulled it do you want to hop in it
quickly see how much of a big difference
body weight
makes okay so once it's moving the
weight drops 1.2 1.2 that's I'd be very
happy with that speed this might work
jile this might work and that only
requires 2 kilos of force to get it
started and around a kilo to keep it
moving and that's even with my fat mate
in the boat which means if I have five
car I could probably get the boat going
pretty fast now I just need to figure
out how to harness a fish which is a
surprisingly hard thing to do at first I
thought I could just clamp to their back
fins as that wouldn't obstruct their
swimming motion too much but the plastic
clamps didn't clamp
on that is slippery and the metal clamp
crushed the fish's bone and kind of made
me question the ethics of all this which
I don't want to think about so I'm not
going to use it so then I thought I
could make kind of a cat harness thing
out of zip ties but the fish is too
mucousy then I tried using fabric straps
and zip ties to harness behind the
pectoral fin so they couldn't slip
forward and then one on the tail which
works surprisingly well look at that
that's good look at that that's not a
fish harness that's a handbag that's a
fish shopping bag yeah you just cut open
the top you're ready to go to the
shops
perfect actually looks all right but how
strong is it
actually so now I need to figure out the
Chariot and most importantly need to
figure out how to get five pissed off
car to swim in the same direction and I
had the idea of putting bait in front
like a cartoon donkey I don't want that
no no go that way that's gross but I
doubt the fish are going to want to eat
once they've been manhandled and have a
harness strap to them so I think I'm
going to make shoots so the fish can
only swim forward or back and as far as
I know fish can't swim backwards so I
got a big seage pipe that still smells
and then tried to work out how to stack
it and I could do it so the fish are all
in the same pipe like a rail gun so the
first one accelerates the water and then
the one behind it makes it go faster and
faster until I have Super Sonic water
but I don't think they're going to
cooperate so instead I'm going to cut
the pipe into sections and put them
alongside each other like those boats
with like eight outboard motors so once
I cut my shoot out and put some
carabinas in I went out and caught
exactly the same fish as before and
attached the harness which was actually
easier than I thought and here we go
have you ever seen a man walking a fish
before
don't answer that if you have and if
this looks unethical to you that's
because it is but it only looks strange
because you're not used to it when you
put a harness on a dog or a horse with
scoliosis no one cares so I reckon we
should normalize taking a fish for a
walk all right then I attached the
harness to the pipe and it worked
exactly as I intended the fish swam
forward and didn't bump around on the
top or the bottom of the pipe which
means I can move on to phase two making
the full Chariot so I just clamped the
rest of the cut pipes together and put a
carabiner in each then put some noodles
in to make it slightly buoyant so my
fish don't sink and attached a big stick
with rope so I can steer it and command
the fish on where I want them to swim
that
way it will work better in the water I
hope so then I prepared some lunch and
some
bait and then got the boys together to
go catch some carp oh
hey go can you you turning I can't you
too strong for
me okay here we go work together I I
hear a lot of talking not a lot of heave
hoing
heave oh there's a slightly deeper
section over here shut up and keep
battling yes Captain I'm tired to this
tree over
here and after only a couple of minutes
of having my rod in the water I already
had a big bite get in there go through
the quick
[Music]
sand he's strong and at first we thought
it was the C but it turns out it was
that eel I showed earlier in the
video why you should get him eels are
delicious
oh let me get him into a sh
[Applause]
[Music]
oh my God he's so smart slippery as an
eel but before I could decide whether I
wanted to change the name of this video
to how many eels does it take to pull a
boat it snapped the line wait you just
have to cross it
quick you just have to cross it
quickly what it came and we tried for a
couple of hours more then finally my
mate hooked a big carp while I was off
talking about fish to some Fishman oh my
God
he's going in all sorts of
directions oh you know what with all the
all that Co stuff going on and
then oh
wow can start heading into the water
used to come down here a lot with my son
but
uh he he died fighting in
Afghanistan oh yeah oh
no and just when Alexa was about to net
it it ripped the lion you know what I
hate lion fishing sitting in the sun all
day the Tangled lies having to
constantly redo all your rigging
stabbing yourself with the hook and the
whole premise of randomly chucking booby
traps in the water not knowing what will
get caught and after 16 hours of this I
decided I would prefer to go to an
illegal underground fish market and
purchase live fish than ever touching a
rod again but after checking out the
dodgy Fish Market the fish didn't really
look strong enough to pull their own
body weight this Mari Cod is meant to
look like this so I decided I want to go
with someone a little more ethical and
after speaking to a koi farmer he told
me that carp are actually very lazy and
set a better bet would be using a fish I
didn't even consider on my fish scale as
they only live up north the mighty
baramundi so I did the fish maths and
this is going to work they're angry
strong and most importantly very
resilient so I bought a small baramundi
just to make sure I can still harness
them they're quite different to car oh
that's the
perfect the perfect point I don't know
how happy this guy is going to be and
then bought this giant
tub it doesn't smell like it had water
in it at the moment this container is a
little too big so I made it more chy and
cut it down and slipped it inside itself
and then I drove for a whole day up
north until I got to barandi territory
and this is my first time sing a bar and
they are absolutely beautiful fish but
they are also a little bit intimidating
wo the way they follow you and watch you
at all times and the speed at which they
move which is probably a good sign for
this video so we grabbed five of the
biggest ones and put them in my tank and
they're actually around 3 to 4 kilos so
combined I should have around 20 kilos
of bushing power one came in nicely you
know I've called probably every fish
Farmer on the East Coast of Australia
and none of them would help me when I
told them what I was actually doing but
for some reason when I told them I was
going to kill the fish then they were
interested
that's just took a piece straight off
what was that with with its with its
mouth or with no with its gu Cutters on
theid have seen yeah yeah I
have and it's going to be a real
challenge to harness the fish while
avoiding their razor sharp gild plates
now I'm scared of the
Bary they do sound pretty Terri
slicing okay I then somehow managed to
drive an hour to the spot where we're
going to launch the boat without killing
the fish all right did we just grab one
and bring him down yeah and now that
we're here and they look happy it's time
to see how many of these guys it will
take to pull a
boat you are G in there and this wasn't
an easy process even though the barer
are very resilient you still don't want
to Chuck them straight into another body
of water so first I mixed in some sea
water with their tank and left them for
an hour then scooted them out of their
big tank and put them in some smaller
buckets ready to be harnessed and this
is by far the most stressful thing I've
ever filmed I felt like I was disposing
a bomb a slippery sharp fish bomb except
instead of me dying I have a minute to
stop the fish from dying and get them in
the water in time and luckily we managed
to harness all of them with minimal
drama then I let them recover in the
water for a little bit before attaching
them to the boat and this is by far the
wackest thing I've ever done or seen
anyone do and again if you're going to
say this is unethical there are
literally people on YouTube that shoot
and kill fish so go get angry at them
and not
me all right let's go quickly into the
water all right that was pretty smooth
and they're only out of the water for
about a minute
[Applause]
and now to my complete surprise I seem
to actually be moving not fast but I was
definitely moving I think I'm
turning am I moving you're moving slowly
but
moving and I didn't know but one fish
slipped out straight away but the other
four picked up the
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Laughter]
slack you're going against the wind too
if you if we had to facing the other way
I can you'd go
[Music]
quicker and turning didn't really work
as well as I had imagined and the fish
kind of took me wherever they decided to
go and this definitely isn't
groundbreaking Innovation like I hoped
but I'm surprised I'm even moving it all
and the fish did slow down after like 30
seconds but splashing the water seemed
to encourage them to pick up speed again
yeah you're definitely moving you've
gone a fair
way oh you're picking up speed right
[Music]
now yeah you're moving pretty well
now come on boys
[Music]
yeah you're you're doing well now you're
like you're going then another fish from
the top shoot got out but the bottom
three fish was still making me move but
I still couldn't turn them at all
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
they've got an
agenda they're heading towards the
Marine
rescue also while watching back the
footage I noticed the tires fell back
into the water so they were definitely
increasing the drag of the
boat I mean you're going right Against
the Wind before you're still moving yeah
okay you just start turning early and
after being pulled around for 2 minutes
reaching a whopping max speed of 2 km an
hour or 1 mph the fish died or gave up
they're not
swimming one of them come
out wait no
two two are missing the top two fish got
out
hang on yeah they're out and luckily
they all got off how did they get out I
don't know must just slipped off the bat
which isn't actually that bad as at
least some lucky fisherman is going to
catch them and then use them to pull his
boat so there's the answer to the
question it takes four baramundi with a
combined mass of 16 kilos to pull a boat
at 2 km for around 2
minutes thank you so much for watching
