00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:52,833
BUT TO START WORKING
TOWARDS A POSITIVE I.D.,
169
00:09:52,833 --> 00:09:55,633
I WANT TO MEET ONE
OF THE FEW PEOPLE ON THIS LAKE
170
00:09:55,633 --> 00:10:02,167
WHO CLAIM TO HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN
THE BEAST WITH THEIR OWN EYES.
171
00:10:02,167 --> 00:10:04,633
WHEN I EVENTUALLY
TRACK HIM DOWN, THOUGH,
172
00:10:04,633 --> 00:10:08,800
LEONARD SKY
SEEMS WARY OF SAYING TOO MUCH.
173
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,800
LIKE, I MEAN,
WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING,
174
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,100
WE DON'T REALLY GO AND
BROADCAST IT ALL OVER THE PLACE.
175
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,700
YOU WOULD BE DEEMED A LUNATIC
IF YOU DO.
176
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:23,700
IT TAKES AWHILE
FOR LEONARD TO COME 'ROUND
177
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:26,800
AND TELL ME
ABOUT HIS STRANGE ENCOUNTER.
178
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:35,667
WE WERE GOING ACROSS THE LAKE
IN A BOAT WITH MY CLIENT.
179
00:10:35,667 --> 00:10:39,600
ONE OF THE FISHERMAN THEN SPOTS
SOMETHING ODD IN THE WATER.
180
00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:44,700
I LOOKED AT IT.
181
00:10:45,733 --> 00:10:48,167
I SAID,
"THAT CAN'T BE."
182
00:10:48,167 --> 00:10:50,533
IT WAS BIG,
183
00:10:50,533 --> 00:10:56,633
LIKE AN OVERTURNED BOAT,
ABOUT 20 FEET OR SO.
184
00:10:56,633 --> 00:11:02,333
SO WE WENT IN TO INVESTIGATE IT,
AND THEN THE THING SANK.
185
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:09,567
AND THEN,
WE TURNED ON OUR SONAR,
186
00:11:09,567 --> 00:11:11,467
AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
187
00:11:14,667 --> 00:11:16,267
IT JUST DISAPPEARED.
188
00:11:16,267 --> 00:11:19,633
LEONARD HAS SPENT DECADES
ON THIS LAKE,
189
00:11:19,633 --> 00:11:21,467
BUT WHAT HE SAW THAT DAY
190
00:11:21,467 --> 00:11:24,367
WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING
HE'D SEEN BEFORE.
191
00:11:24,367 --> 00:11:29,300
TO HIM, IT WAS CACHEEKANABICK,
THE EAGLE LAKE SERPENT.
192
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:32,200
TO ME, IT'S TOTALLY PERPLEXING.
193
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,567
SO, WHEREABOUTS ON THE LAKE
DID YOU SEE THIS?
194
00:11:35,567 --> 00:11:37,067
RIGHT IN FRONT,
195
00:11:37,067 --> 00:11:41,700
WAY OVER THERE WHERE THE SUN
IS SHINING ON THE FAR HORIZON,
196
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:44,467
CALLED SPIRIT ROCK.
197
00:11:44,467 --> 00:11:46,567
FOR THE MAGISI SAHGAIGAN
PEOPLE,
198
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:50,367
SPIRIT ROCK IS A SACRED PLACE.
199
00:11:50,367 --> 00:11:55,100
PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO
POINT TOWARDS THE ROCK.
200
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:57,100
IS THAT BECAUSE
PEOPLE RESPECT THE PLACE?
201
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:03,167
OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE SPIRIT
THAT'S THERE.
202
00:12:03,167 --> 00:12:04,533
IT'S SAID THE SPIRIT
203
00:12:04,533 --> 00:12:08,167
COULD BE PLACATED
WITH AN OFFERING OF TOBACCO.
204
00:12:08,167 --> 00:12:10,067
BUT EVEN SO,
205
00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:14,333
ANYONE WHO GOES NEAR THE ROCK
DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.
206
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,767
IF IT REALLY IS THE LAIR
OF A LARGE, UNKNOWN CREATURE,
207
00:12:22,767 --> 00:12:26,067
THEN I INTEND TO FIND OUT.
208
00:12:26,067 --> 00:12:28,400
PREDATORS WILL OFTEN
STAKE OUT THE DEEP WATER
209
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,067
ALONGSIDE A DROP OFF,
210
00:12:30,067 --> 00:12:33,067
SO ISLANDS CAN BE
IDEAL AMBUSH SPOTS.
211
00:12:33,067 --> 00:12:36,367
I'M WONDERING IF LEONARD'S
MONSTER VANISHED INTO A CAVE,
212
00:12:36,367 --> 00:12:40,100
BUT THIS ISN'T SOMETHING I CAN
FIND OUT WITH A ROD AND LINE.
213
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:43,633
I'M RECKONING MY BEST CHANCE
OF SEEING WHAT'S DOWN THERE
214
00:12:43,633 --> 00:12:45,200
IS ACTUALLY
GETTING IN THE WATER MYSELF,
215
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,567
BUT I HAVE TO SAY
I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE DAUNTED
216
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:50,633
BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY
IS ACTUALLY NOT THAT GREAT.
217
00:12:50,633 --> 00:12:52,433
AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING
DOWN THERE,
218
00:12:52,433 --> 00:12:56,833
I'M NOT GONNA SEE IT UNTIL
I'M PRETTY MUCH ON TOP OF IT.
219
00:12:56,833 --> 00:13:01,167
IN WINTER, THIS LAKE
IS ENTOMBED IN A FOOT OF ICE,
220
00:13:01,167 --> 00:13:02,967
BUT EVEN IN THE SUMMER,
221
00:13:02,967 --> 00:13:06,400
GETTING IN THE WATER
IS A BONE-CHILLING EXPERIENCE.
222
00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:21,633
BELOW THE SURFACE, THE BOTTOM
FALLS AWAY ON ALL SIDES,
223
00:13:21,633 --> 00:13:25,700
BUT THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS CRACKS
OR HIDING PLACES.
224
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:30,333
AND THE ENTIRE AREA
SEEMS EERILY DEVOID OF LIFE.
225
00:13:33,833 --> 00:13:35,400
THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
226
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,067
I'VE NOT SEEN ANY FISH,
AND THAT'S STRANGE.
227
00:13:42,233 --> 00:13:45,500
I'VE DRAWN A BLANK
AT SPIRIT ROCK,
228
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:47,067
BUT I'M NOT GIVING UP.
229
00:13:47,067 --> 00:13:49,800
BACK ON LAND,
I HEAR ABOUT SOMEONE
230
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,200
WHO WAS RECENTLY ATTACKED
ON THIS VERY LAKE
231
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,567
RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHORE.
232
00:13:56,567 --> 00:14:00,200
SOMETHING GRABBED HIM
AND TRIED TO PULL HIM UNDER.
233
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,067
COULD THIS BE THE WORK
OF THE MYSTERIOUS LAKE SERPENT?
234
00:14:13,633 --> 00:14:15,767
ON CANADA'S EAGLE LAKE,
235
00:14:15,767 --> 00:14:19,667
I'M TRYING TO IDENTIFY
AN ELUSIVE, SNAKELIKE BEAST
236
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:23,500
THAT PEOPLE HERE CALL
CACHEEKANABICK.
237
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:27,167
SIGHTINGS OF A SIMILAR 20-FOOT
ANIMAL HAVE BEEN REPORTED
238
00:14:27,167 --> 00:14:28,967
FROM ACROSS THIS REGION,
239
00:14:28,967 --> 00:14:32,267
BUT NOTHING I KNOW OF
FITS THE DESCRIPTION.
240
00:14:32,267 --> 00:14:35,600
NOW I'VE HEARD
OF A RECENT ATTACK ON A HUMAN.
241
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,400
IF THE CULPRIT
IS THE SHADOWY LAKE MONSTER,
242
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,500
THEN BITE MARKS ON THE VICTIM
243
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:43,300
COULD BE THE KEY
TO SOLVING THIS MYSTERY.
244
00:14:45,567 --> 00:14:47,367
EAGER TO GET MORE DETAILS,
245
00:14:47,367 --> 00:14:50,467
I TRACK DOWN A MAN
NAMED GORD BASTABLE,
246
00:14:50,467 --> 00:14:52,667
A WITNESS TO THE ATTACK.
247
00:14:52,667 --> 00:14:55,300
WHAT EXACTLY WAS IS THAT
HAPPENED IN THE WATER DOWN HERE?
248
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:59,300
WELL, WE HAD A BUNCH OF KIDS
DOWN IN CAMP HERE.
249
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:01,533
THEY WERE OUT IN THE WATER,
DOWN ON THE BEACH.
250
00:15:01,533 --> 00:15:04,800
THEY WERE JUST HORSING AROUND
LIKE KIDS DO.
251
00:15:07,867 --> 00:15:11,800
ONE OF THEM
IS 11-YEAR-OLD BILLY BALINSKI.
252
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,067
HE'S STANDING IN VERY SHALLOW
WATER WHEN WITHOUT WARNING,
253
00:15:21,067 --> 00:15:23,767
SOMETHING SLAMS INTO HIS LEG.
254
00:15:23,767 --> 00:15:28,767
SOMETHING GRABBED HIM
AND TRIED TO PULL HIM UNDER.
255
00:15:28,767 --> 00:15:30,833
FORTUNATELY,
HE WAS IN SHALLOW WATER,
256
00:15:30,833 --> 00:15:34,067
SO HE COULD PULL HIMSELF OFF
AND GET TO SHORE.
257
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:37,500
BUT REALLY,
IF IT HAD BEEN IN DEEP WATER,
258
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:38,967
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY.
259
00:15:38,967 --> 00:15:41,300
THE BOY ISN'T HERE NOW,
260
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,333
BUT GORD HAS A PHOTOGRAPH
OF BILLY'S WOUND
261
00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:48,767
TAKEN JUST MINUTES
AFTER HE WAS MAULED.
262
00:15:48,767 --> 00:15:49,933
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
263
00:15:49,933 --> 00:15:51,600
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S TAKEN
A POINTED KNIFE
264
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,800
AND JUST GONE ROUND
AND DONE A SEMICIRCLE.
265
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,367
THE CRESCENT-SHAPED BITE...
IS RATHER LIKE THAT OF A SHARK,
266
00:16:01,367 --> 00:16:05,500
AND BULL SHARKS ARE KNOWN
TO LIVE IN FRESHWATER.
267
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:09,800
BUT NO BULL SHARK COULD EVER
REACH THIS LANDLOCKED LAKE,
268
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,600
LET ALONE SURVIVE
ITS ICY TEMPERATURES.
269
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,067
HAS ANYTHING LIKE THIS
EVER HAPPENED BEFORE?
270
00:16:16,067 --> 00:16:17,067
NEVER. NEVER.
271
00:16:17,067 --> 00:16:19,367
I'VE BEEN ON THE LAKE HERE
FOR 35 YEARS,
272
00:16:19,367 --> 00:16:21,900
AND THIS
WAS A FIRST.
273
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:24,067
THERE WAS
A LOT OF COMMOTION,
274
00:16:24,067 --> 00:16:28,400
WHICH IS VERY ODD
TO ATTRACT ANY KIND OF FISH.
275
00:16:31,233 --> 00:16:33,700
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK
DID THIS?
276
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:35,233
WELL,
THERE'S ONLY ONE FISH
277
00:16:35,233 --> 00:16:37,767
THAT HAS THE CONFIDENCE
TO ACTUALLY PULL THAT OFF,
278
00:16:37,767 --> 00:16:39,467
AND THAT
WOULD BE A MUSKIE.
279
00:16:39,467 --> 00:16:40,833
A MUSKIE?
280
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:43,467
THERE WERE SEVERAL MUSKIES
HANGING AROUND IN THE CREEK AREA
281
00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:46,233
AND THE BEACH AREA
THAT WEEK.
282
00:16:46,233 --> 00:16:52,367
THE MUSKIE, OR MUSKELLUNGE,
IS A TRULY FORMIDABLE BEAST.
283
00:16:52,367 --> 00:16:56,300
FAST AND EXTREMELY FIERCE,
THIS SUPERSIZED PIKE
284
00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:00,733
SITS AT THE VERY TOP
OF THIS AQUATIC FOOD CHAIN.
285
00:17:00,733 --> 00:17:04,367
MUSKIES ARE KNOWN
TO REACH A HEFTY 70 POUNDS
286
00:17:04,367 --> 00:17:07,333
AND CAN TARGET
A WIDE RANGE OF PREY.
287
00:17:09,567 --> 00:17:14,167
FISH, MUSKRATS, AND EVEN DUCKS
ARE ALL FAIR GAME.
288
00:17:16,467 --> 00:17:18,067
BUT IN OVER 30 YEARS
289
00:17:18,067 --> 00:17:20,567
OF INVESTIGATING
FRESHWATER ATTACKS,
290
00:17:20,567 --> 00:17:25,533
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A MUSKIE
SINKING ITS TEETH INTO A HUMAN
291
00:17:25,533 --> 00:17:28,633
UNTIL NOW.
292
00:17:28,633 --> 00:17:32,200
[ SCREAMING ]
293
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,567
CAN IT REALLY BE TRUE?
294
00:17:34,567 --> 00:17:37,167
I NEED MORE EVIDENCE.
295
00:17:37,167 --> 00:17:41,067
A BIT OF DIGGING SOON TURNS UP
ANOTHER, EVEN BLOODIER ACCOUNT
296
00:17:41,067 --> 00:17:42,767
OF A MUSKIE ATTACK.
297
00:17:42,767 --> 00:17:45,067
THERE'S A COUPLE
OUT CANOEING.
298
00:17:48,167 --> 00:17:51,067
THE GIRLFRIEND
WAS PADDLING,
299
00:17:51,067 --> 00:17:53,300
AND THE GUY
HAD HIS FEET
300
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,567
DANGLING OVER FRONT
OF THE CANOE.
301
00:17:56,567 --> 00:18:01,667
ALL OF A SUDDEN...SOMETHING
COME UP AND GRABBED HIS FOOT.
302
00:18:04,067 --> 00:18:06,567
AAH!
303
00:18:06,567 --> 00:18:10,467
IT TAKES 60 STITCHES
TO CLOSE THE WOUND.
304
00:18:13,667 --> 00:18:18,667
SO MUSKIES CAN BE FAR MORE
AGGRESSIVE THAN I REALIZED.
305
00:18:18,667 --> 00:18:21,933
BUT DOES THIS LARGE, PREDATORY
FISH MATCH THE DESCRIPTIONS
306
00:18:21,933 --> 00:18:24,500
OF THE LAKE MONSTER?
307
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:27,800
THERE ARE CERTAINLY
SOME INTRIGUING PARALLELS.
308
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,767
FOR A START, THE MUSKIE
309
00:18:29,767 --> 00:18:34,633
HAS AN ELONGATED AND SOMEWHAT
REPTILIAN APPEARANCE.
310
00:18:34,633 --> 00:18:36,467
MORE TELLINGLY,
PERHAPS, ITS RANGE
311
00:18:36,467 --> 00:18:40,733
CORRELATES VERY CLOSELY
WITH LAKE SERPENT SIGHTINGS.
312
00:18:40,733 --> 00:18:43,900
AND FINALLY,
THE MUSKIE HAS BEEN OBSERVED
313
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:45,900
LIFTING ITS HEAD
ABOVE THE WATER
314
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:49,567
IN A VERY UNFISHLIKE WAY,
315
00:18:49,567 --> 00:18:52,367
A BEHAVIOR
THAT'S ALSO BEEN REPORTED
316
00:18:52,367 --> 00:18:54,700
FOR THE SUPPOSED LAKE SERPENT.
317
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:56,433
Wade: THINGS ARE STARTING
TO COME TOGETHER,
318
00:18:56,433 --> 00:19:00,267
BUT THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY
DOESN'T COMPUTE IS SIZE.
319
00:19:00,267 --> 00:19:04,600
MUSKIES DON'T GROW AS BIG
320
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,933
AS THESE CREATURES
THAT PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE SEEING.
321
00:19:08,933 --> 00:19:10,900
FROM TALKING TO LOCALS,
322
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,433
I LEARN OF A HUGE JAW BONE
SUPPOSEDLY FROM
323
00:19:14,433 --> 00:19:17,700
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MUSKIES
EVER FOUND.
324
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:20,700
IT'S KEPT
IN A SMALL FISHING LODGE
325
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:23,633
CLOSE TO
WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED.
326
00:19:23,633 --> 00:19:26,967
I'M HOPING THERE'S ENOUGH OF IT
LEFT TO DEDUCE THE FULL SIZE
327
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:30,100
OF THE ANIMAL IT CAME FROM.
328
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:32,067
THIS IS THE LOWER JAW
329
00:19:32,067 --> 00:19:34,200
OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST MUSKIES
EVER RECORDED.
330
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,633
IT WAS FOUND WASHED UP
AT THE WATER'S EDGE NEAR HERE.
331
00:19:37,633 --> 00:19:40,967
THE FIRST THING THAT STRIKES ME
IS JUST THE SIZE
332
00:19:40,967 --> 00:19:43,800
AND THE SHARPNESS
OF THOSE TEETH.
333
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,767
EACH STILETTO TOOTH
IS MORE THAN AN INCH LONG,
334
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:50,767
AND THE JAW'S SHAPE
PERFECTLY MATCHES
335
00:19:50,767 --> 00:19:54,700
THE SEMICIRCLE OF PUNCTURE
WOUNDS ON BILLY BALINSKI'S LEG.
336
00:19:57,367 --> 00:20:00,533
THIS MUSKIE HAD A MOUTH
LIKE A BEAR TRAP,
337
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:04,233
BUT HOW LONG WAS IT
NOSE TO TAIL?
338
00:20:04,233 --> 00:20:07,200
BASED ON THE SIZE OF THIS JAW,
THE WHOLE MUSKIE
339
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,667
WOULD'VE MEASURED SOMETHING LIKE
FIVE, MAYBE SIX FOOT LONG,
340
00:20:10,667 --> 00:20:13,333
A VERY BIG MUSKIE.
341
00:20:13,333 --> 00:20:16,833
BUT IT STILL FALLS
CONSIDERABLY SHORT OF THE SIZE
342
00:20:16,833 --> 00:20:18,433
OF THIS LAKE MONSTER.
343
00:20:18,433 --> 00:20:19,900
BUT HAVING SAID THAT,
344
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:23,267
THERE'S NO OTHER CANDIDATES
IN THE FRAME AT THE MOMENT.
345
00:20:23,267 --> 00:20:26,967
MAYBE I'M MISSING SOMETHING.
346
00:20:26,967 --> 00:20:28,633
TO KEEP
MY INVESTIGATION MOVING,
347
00:20:28,633 --> 00:20:31,533
I NEED TO SEE THIS FISH
IN THE FLESH.
348
00:20:31,533 --> 00:20:33,467
SO I'M HEADING
TO A STRETCH OF RIVER
349
00:20:33,467 --> 00:20:36,700
WHERE HUGE MUSKIES
ARE SAID TO LURK.
350
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:40,767
THE EXACT SPOT
IS A CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET.
351
00:20:40,767 --> 00:20:43,800
THE ONLY NAME I'VE BEEN GIVEN
FOR THE PLACE WHERE I'M GOING
352
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,967
IS LOCATION "X."
353
00:20:45,967 --> 00:20:48,933
IT'S ACTUALLY ON
A NATIVE AMERICAN RESERVATION,
354
00:20:48,933 --> 00:20:51,100
AND AS A RULE, OUTSIDERS JUST
AREN'T ALLOWED THERE.
355
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:53,500
AND I'M ONLY BEING ALLOWED
TO GO THERE ON STRICT CONDITION
356
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:56,200
THAT I DON'T SAY WHERE IT IS.
357
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:03,600
THIS IS AS FAR
AS I CAN GO IN THIS.
358
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,367
FROM HERE ON IN, MY GUIDE
IS TAKING ME OFF THE GRID.
359
00:21:20,467 --> 00:21:22,600
AT OUR SECRET RIVERSIDE CAMP,
360
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,567
I START TO PREPARE
FOR THE CHALLENGE AHEAD.
361
00:21:28,067 --> 00:21:31,333
MUSKIES ARE NOTORIOUSLY HARD
TO CATCH.
362
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:33,367
NOT FOR NOTHING
ARE THEY KNOWN TO ANGLERS
363
00:21:33,367 --> 00:21:36,700
AS THE FISH OF 10,000 CASTS.
364
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,967
SOME HAVE SPENT
AN ENTIRE LIFETIME
365
00:21:38,967 --> 00:21:43,067
IN PURSUIT
OF A SINGLE MONSTROUS SPECIMEN.
366
00:21:43,067 --> 00:21:46,300
MY TIME, HOWEVER,
IS MORE LIMITED,
367
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:50,400
SO THE GEAR I CHOOSE
IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL.
368
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,300
SO HOW DO I TEMPT A MUSKIE?
369
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,467
WELL, WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THEM
370
00:21:54,467 --> 00:21:57,133
IS THAT THEY HUNT VERY MUCH
USING THEIR SENSE OF SIGHT,
371
00:21:57,133 --> 00:21:58,967
BUT THEY'VE ALSO
GOT THIS LATERAL LINE ORGAN
372
00:21:58,967 --> 00:22:01,400
THAT PICKS UP VIBRATIONS
IN THE WATER.
373
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,067
SO I'M THINKING LURES
THAT HAVE GOT
374
00:22:04,067 --> 00:22:07,333
A LOT OF FLASH AND MOVEMENT
TO THEM, BUT ALSO
375
00:22:07,333 --> 00:22:10,133
LURES THAT ARE GONNA MAKE
A LOT OF NOISE IN THE WATER.
376
00:22:10,133 --> 00:22:13,800
WITH A BIT OF LUCK, I'LL GET
TO A POINT WHERE I PUT SOMETHING
377
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,967
IN FRONT OF THEM THAT TRIGGERS
THEIR PREDATORY RESPONSE.
378
00:22:20,967 --> 00:22:23,433
TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF SUCCESS,
379
00:22:23,433 --> 00:22:26,200
I ALSO NEED
TO THINK LIKE A MUSKIE.
380
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,333
THE MUSKIE ARE GOING TO BE TIGHT
TO THE BANK,
381
00:22:31,333 --> 00:22:32,800
OUT OF THE MAIN FLOW.
382
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,067
IT'S WHERE THE SMALL FISH
ARE GONNA BE.
383
00:22:34,067 --> 00:22:36,167
IT'S WHERE
THEY ARE GONNA CONSERVE ENERGY,
384
00:22:36,167 --> 00:22:39,300
SO CAST AS CLOSE TO THE BANK
AS I CAN GET THEM.
385
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,833
IF ANYTHING
IS GONNA BRING A FISH,
386
00:22:41,833 --> 00:22:43,700
THAT'S GONNA BE THE TACTIC.
387
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:51,800
MOST FISH WOULD BE SCARED OFF
388
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,633
BY THE NOISE
OF LURES LIKE THIS,
389
00:22:54,633 --> 00:22:56,667
BUT MUSKIES
ARE FEARLESS PREDATORS
390
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:58,100
THAT ARE JUST AS LIKELY
391
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:00,800
TO INVESTIGATE A DISTURBANCE
IN THE WATER.
392
00:23:07,067 --> 00:23:09,433
AFTER MORE THAN FIVE HOURS,
THOUGH,
393
00:23:09,433 --> 00:23:11,800
I'M STILL WAITING FOR A STRIKE.
394
00:23:22,467 --> 00:23:25,500
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
TIME OF DAY
395
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,867
FOR PREDATORS
TO BE ON THE PROWL,
396
00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:32,067
BUT I'VE NOT FELT ANYTHING
ON THE LINE.
397
00:23:32,067 --> 00:23:36,733
BUT I HAVE FELT EVERY CAST,
THE THROBBING OF THE LURES,
398
00:23:36,733 --> 00:23:38,233
AND I CAN BE PRETTY CERTAIN
399
00:23:38,233 --> 00:23:40,967
THAT THE FISH DOWN THERE
HAVE FELT THAT, AS WELL.
400
00:23:48,533 --> 00:23:50,533
BY THE TIME
I TURN IN FOR THE NIGHT,
401
00:23:50,533 --> 00:23:55,433
I MUST'VE RACKED UP
CLOSE TO 500 CASTS.
402
00:23:55,433 --> 00:23:56,933
I'M LEARNING THE HARD WAY
403
00:23:56,933 --> 00:24:01,233
THAT THE MUSKIE
IS AN EXTREMELY WILY OPPONENT.
404
00:24:01,233 --> 00:24:03,100
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
405
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:06,500
AND NOW
THERE'S ANOTHER PROBLEM.
406
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:08,333
DURING THE NIGHT,
407
00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:13,067
A FREAK STORM FUNNELS
STRAIGHT THROUGH MY CAMP.
408
00:24:13,067 --> 00:24:18,733
AND IN THE MORNING,
MY WORST FEARS ARE CONFIRMED.
409
00:24:18,733 --> 00:24:22,833
THE BANKS HERE ARE FORMED
OF SOFT, BROWN CLAY,
410
00:24:22,833 --> 00:24:26,533
AND THE RUNOFF HAS TURNED
THE RIVER INTO A MUDDY SOUP.
411
00:24:29,967 --> 00:24:31,167
THE WATER LEVEL HAS COME UP.
412
00:24:31,167 --> 00:24:32,567
IT'S STILL COMING UP,
AND THE VISIBILITY
413
00:24:32,567 --> 00:24:36,367
HAS GONE DOWN FROM ABOUT
TWO FEET TO ABOUT TWO INCHES.
414
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:42,067
AND FOR A PREDATOR
THAT FEEDS LARGELY USING VISION,
415
00:24:42,067 --> 00:24:44,100
THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.
416
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:49,100
IF A MUSKIE CAN'T SEE MY LURE,
IT'S UNLIKELY TO BITE.
417
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:52,233
THIS IS AN INTENSELY FRUSTRATING
SITUATION.
418
00:24:52,233 --> 00:24:54,433
ONE OF THE COMPONENTS
OF MY LIMITED ACCESS HERE
419
00:24:54,433 --> 00:24:55,500
IS LIMITED TIME.
420
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:56,767
I'VE GOT THREE DAYS.
421
00:24:56,767 --> 00:25:00,067
THE THING IS THAT'S AT LEAST
HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE
422
00:25:00,067 --> 00:25:01,167
FOR THIS WATER TO CLEAR.
423
00:25:01,167 --> 00:25:04,500
SO REALLY, YOU KNOW,
424
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:08,200
I HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE
BUT TO PACK EVERYTHING UP
425
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,133
AND TRY AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE.
426
00:25:12,767 --> 00:25:15,100
BIG MUSKIES ARE FEW
AND FAR BETWEEN,
427
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:19,633
SO THIS IS A SERIOUS BLOW
TO MY INVESTIGATION.
428
00:25:19,633 --> 00:25:23,333
BUT MY GUIDE TELLS ME THERE IS
ONE OTHER PLACE I CAN TRY.
429
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:31,300
ROWAN LAKE IS AS DEEP
AS IT IS REMOTE.
430
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:35,267
MAYBE THIS IS WHERE
I'LL FIND A GIANT AND WITH IT,
431
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:37,800
PERHAPS THE MISSING CLUE
I'M LOOKING FOR --
432
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,333
A WAY TO MAKE SENSE
433
00:25:39,333 --> 00:25:42,167
OF ALL THOSE
UNEXPLAINED SIGHTINGS.
434
00:25:42,167 --> 00:25:44,467
THIS PLACE IS A REAL WILDERNESS.
435
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:47,533
IT'S PROBABLY TRUE TO SAY
THAT NOBODY HAS EVER SET FOOT
436
00:25:47,533 --> 00:25:49,567
ON A LOT OF THIS LAND.
437
00:25:52,767 --> 00:25:54,933
UNAFFECTED BY THE RECENT STORM,
438
00:25:54,933 --> 00:25:59,333
THE LAKE'S CRYSTAL-CLEAR WATERS
LOOK IDEAL FOR A MUSKIE HUNT.
439
00:26:02,767 --> 00:26:04,300
THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAR WATER.
440
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:06,367
I CAN SEE THE BAIT
VERY DISTINCTLY,
441
00:26:06,367 --> 00:26:11,633
BUT I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE LURE
SO MUCH AS THE SPACE BEHIND IT,
442
00:26:11,633 --> 00:26:13,700
ABOUT THREE, FOUR,
FIVE FOOT BEHIND
443
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:16,100
TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING
FOLLOWING IT.
444
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,200
THOUGH FEROCIOUS,
MUSKIES ARE ALSO CUNNING.
445
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,933
BEFORE HITTING A LURE,
446
00:26:24,933 --> 00:26:29,400
THEY'LL OFTEN STALK IT,
SOMETIMES RIGHT UP TO THE BOAT.
447
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,633
SO EVERY TIME
THE LURE COMES IN,
448
00:26:31,633 --> 00:26:34,367
I KEEP IT CIRCLING IN THE WATER
FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS
449
00:26:34,367 --> 00:26:36,300
BEFORE LIFTING IT OUT.
450
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:38,133
MOST TIMES,
THERE'S JUST NOTHING THERE,
451
00:26:38,133 --> 00:26:39,967
BUT ONCE IN A WHILE,
452
00:26:39,967 --> 00:26:44,767
YOU LOCK ONTO THE SHAPE
OF A FISH.
453
00:26:44,767 --> 00:26:47,667
I'M NOW WELL PAST 1,000 CASTS
454
00:26:47,667 --> 00:26:50,133
AND STILL WAITING
FOR A LUCKY BREAK.
455
00:26:50,133 --> 00:26:52,867
AH, YES!
456
00:26:52,867 --> 00:26:55,833
THAT'S A FISH. THAT'S A FISH.
457
00:26:55,833 --> 00:26:57,333
YES, YES, YES.
458
00:27:06,767 --> 00:27:08,567
THE ANSWER RIGHT AFTER THIS.
459
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:15,100
I ASKED, "WHAT DOES THE NAME
MUSKELLUNGE ACTUALLY MEAN?"
460
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:25,700
ON A REMOTE CANADIAN LAKE,
461
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:29,067
I'M ON THE HUNT
FOR A GIANT MUSKIE.
462
00:27:29,067 --> 00:27:32,767
THIS ELUSIVE FISH APPEARS
TO MATCH EYEWITNESS REPORTS
463
00:27:32,767 --> 00:27:39,433
OF A SINISTER LAKE SERPENT
IN EVERY DETAIL BUT ONE.
464
00:27:39,433 --> 00:27:43,433
LENGTHWISE, IT FALLS FAR SHORT
OF THE 20-FOOT BEAST
465
00:27:43,433 --> 00:27:47,767
THAT PEOPLE SAY
THEY'VE SEEN HERE.
466
00:27:47,767 --> 00:27:49,700
AH, YES!
467
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,467
BUT MAYBE THE FISH ON MY LINE
468
00:27:51,467 --> 00:27:54,500
WILL PROVIDE THE MISSING PIECE
OF THIS PUZZLE.
469
00:27:56,833 --> 00:28:02,267
IT'S A TOOTHY PREDATOR,
BUT NOT YET THE ONE I'M AFTER.
470
00:28:02,267 --> 00:28:05,200
THIS COULD BE A GOOD SIGN.
THE PIKE ARE FEEDING.
471
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,767
BUT TO BE HONEST,
THE FISH THAT I'M AFTER
472
00:28:07,767 --> 00:28:10,933
COULD INHALE THIS
IN ONE MOUTHFUL.
473
00:28:10,933 --> 00:28:14,667
THE NORTHERN PIKE IS A FAST,
AGGRESSIVE PREDATOR.
474
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,167
BUT FOR A BIG MUSKIE,
475
00:28:16,167 --> 00:28:19,800
THIS WOULD BE LITTLE MORE
THAN A BITE-SIZE SNACK.
476
00:28:24,333 --> 00:28:28,533
AS THE HOURS PASS, I TRY
EVERY CONCEIVABLE COMBINATION
477
00:28:28,533 --> 00:28:32,267
OF LURE AND LOCATION.
478
00:28:32,267 --> 00:28:33,933
I THINK THERE'S A PIKE ON.
479
00:28:33,933 --> 00:28:37,900
I'M HAVING ABSOLUTELY
NO PROBLEM ATTRACTING PIKE.
480
00:28:40,067 --> 00:28:41,733
ANOTHER PIKE.
481
00:28:41,733 --> 00:28:47,133
BUT ITS BIGGER, UGLIER BROTHER
IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.
482
00:28:47,133 --> 00:28:49,433
ANOTHER PIKE.
483
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,767
IT'S A PIKE AGAIN.
484
00:28:53,767 --> 00:28:55,967
I CATCH PIKE AFTER PIKE.
485
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:58,733
IT'S A STRUGGLE
TO STAY FOCUSED.
486
00:28:58,733 --> 00:29:01,400
AND THEN,
TO COMPOUND MY FRUSTRATION...
487
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,667
OH!
488
00:29:03,633 --> 00:29:05,233
[BLEEP]
489
00:29:05,233 --> 00:29:07,533
...I'M IMPALED BY MY OWN HOOK.
490
00:29:07,533 --> 00:29:09,667
I'LL JUST TAKE IT.
YEAH, SORT OF LIKE THIS.
491
00:29:14,733 --> 00:29:18,067
AH, PIKE'S OFF.
492
00:29:18,067 --> 00:29:22,467
I HOOKED MYSELF, THE BEST HOOK
UP ALL DAY, MYSELF.
493
00:29:22,467 --> 00:29:24,133
I GOT OFF LIGHTLY.
494
00:29:24,133 --> 00:29:26,833
THE GOOD THING WAS THAT
THAT PIKE ACTUALLY CAME OFF.
495
00:29:26,833 --> 00:29:30,667
IT WASN'T ATTACHED TO MY ARM
AND FLAPPING AROUND.
496
00:29:30,667 --> 00:29:32,167
BUT IF THAT HAD BEEN A MUSKIE
497
00:29:32,167 --> 00:29:34,967
AND IF THAT HAD STAYED ATTACHED
RATHER THAN UNHOOKING ITSELF,
498
00:29:34,967 --> 00:29:37,067
I COULD BE
IN A LOT MORE TROUBLE.
499
00:29:41,767 --> 00:29:44,600
ONCE AGAIN
AND STILL EMPTY-HANDED,
500
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,200
MY FISHING IS BROUGHT TO
AN ABRUPT END BY BAD WEATHER.
501
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,900
I THINK WE SAW
A BIT OF LIGHTNING JUST THEN,
502
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:54,700
SO, UM, NOT GOOD TO BE OUT
503
00:29:54,700 --> 00:30:01,200
ON A BIG EXPANSE OF WATER
WAVING A CARBON-FIBER POLE.
504
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,900
WITH THIS NEW SETBACK,
505
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:06,000
I CAN'T HELP FEELING
THAT THE GODS ARE AGAINST ME.
506
00:30:09,033 --> 00:30:12,500
NEXT MORNING THOUGH,
MY GUIDE, DON PERSH,
507
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,900
TELLS ME
A FIRSTHAND FISHERMAN'S TALE
508
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:17,267
THAT COULD BE
HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT.
509
00:30:17,267 --> 00:30:19,567
IT WAS A BRIGHT,
SUNNY DAY,
510
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:23,567
AND HERE WAS THIS BIG,
BROWN LINE COMING IN.
511
00:30:23,567 --> 00:30:25,833
I THOUGHT I WAS LOOKING
AT 10 FOOT OF MUSKIE
512
00:30:25,833 --> 00:30:27,267
COMING AFTER MY BAIT.
513
00:30:27,267 --> 00:30:30,900
AND IT WAS TWO 50-INCHERS NOSE
TO TAIL COMING AT THE SAME TIME.
514
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:34,000
THEY WERE IN A STRAIGHT LINE
COMING LIKE A TRAIN.
515
00:30:36,133 --> 00:30:37,967
SO WHAT IT WAS
WAS TWO MUSKIES
516
00:30:37,967 --> 00:30:40,400
FOLLOWING EACH OTHER,
ONE BEHIND THE OTHER.
517
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,467
SO TOTAL LENGTH,
SOMETHING LIKE 10 FOOT.
518
00:30:42,467 --> 00:30:45,200
YES, SIR.
519
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,867
COULD THIS BE THE MISSING PIECE
OF THE PUZZLE?
520
00:30:48,867 --> 00:30:51,033
IT'S VERY INTERESTING,
WHAT DON SAID
521
00:30:51,033 --> 00:30:53,067
ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR
OF THESE FISH,
522
00:30:53,067 --> 00:30:55,433
AND I'M PARTICULARLY INTRIGUED
BY THAT STORY
523
00:30:55,433 --> 00:30:59,033
OF ONE MUSKIE FOLLOWING
CLOSE BEHIND ANOTHER
524
00:30:59,033 --> 00:31:01,300
BECAUSE ALTHOUGH ONE MUSKIE
525
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:04,500
IS NOT REALLY BIG ENOUGH
TO BE THE LAKE MONSTER,
526
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:06,800
PERHAPS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SEEING
527
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,700
IS MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL
SWIMMING IN FORMATION,
528
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:15,400
CREATING THE ILLUSION
OF A MUCH BIGGER CREATURE.
529
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,867
DURING SPAWNING,
530
00:31:18,867 --> 00:31:22,067
MUSKIES ARE KNOWN TO SWIM
VERY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER,
531
00:31:22,067 --> 00:31:27,700
SOMETIMES WITH THEIR BACKS
AND TAILS BREAKING THE SURFACE.
532
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:32,567
WHAT IF THE 20-FOOT CANADIAN
LAKE MONSTER WAS NOT ONE MUSKIE
533
00:31:32,567 --> 00:31:38,167
BUT A SMALL GROUP OF THEM
SWIMMING IN LOOSE FORMATION?
534
00:31:38,167 --> 00:31:40,100
THE MUSKIE
IS THE BEST CANDIDATE
535
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:41,900
I CAN FIND FOR THE SIGHTINGS
536
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:45,067
OF A GIANT SERPENT
IN THESE WATERS.
537
00:31:45,067 --> 00:31:49,400
IT HAS THE ATTITUDE,
THE SHAPE, THE HARDWARE,
538
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,667
AND THE UNUSUAL HEAD-LIFTING
BEHAVIOR TO MATCH.
539
00:31:53,667 --> 00:31:59,300
AND THIS NEW INFORMATION
TICKS THE FINAL BOX -- SIZE.
540
00:32:01,767 --> 00:32:04,800
MY INVESTIGATION
MIGHT BE COMPLETE,
541
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,767
BUT MY MISSION
IS FAR FROM OVER.
542
00:32:07,767 --> 00:32:10,267
I CAN'T FEEL ENTIRELY SATISFIED
543
00:32:10,267 --> 00:32:13,933
UNTIL I'VE ACTUALLY
SEEN A MUSKIE IN THE FLESH,
544
00:32:13,933 --> 00:32:17,100
AND THIS IS NOW
BECOMING AN OBSESSION.
545
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:26,367
FOR FIVE MORE DAYS,
I FISH AROUND THE CLOCK.
546
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:31,800
BUT NOW
NOT EVEN THE PIKE ARE BITING.
547
00:32:34,067 --> 00:32:37,267
NO RESPONSE HERE.
TIME TO MOVE ON AGAIN.
548
00:32:37,267 --> 00:32:41,500
MY MUSKIE HUNT
IS NOW REALLY TAKING ITS TOLL.
549
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:44,900
MY HANDS AND ARMS ARE SORE,
MY EYES ARE ACHING,
550
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:47,533
AND MOST DISTURBING OF ALL,
551
00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:51,200
I COULD FEEL MY CONFIDENCE
EBBING AWAY.
552
00:32:53,433 --> 00:32:56,167
I KNEW THAT IT WAS
GOING TO BE HARD,
553
00:32:56,167 --> 00:33:00,667
SO I WAS PREPARED FOR LOTS
OF EFFORT FOR NO REWARD
554
00:33:00,667 --> 00:33:02,200
OR EVEN SORT OF
GLIMPSE OF A FISH.
555
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,800
BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS --
556
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,267
EVEN FOR MUSKIE FISHING,
THIS IS -- THIS IS SLOW.
557
00:33:06,267 --> 00:33:08,067
THIS IS DIFFICULT.
558
00:33:12,567 --> 00:33:16,900
BY NOW, I MUST BE CLOSE
TO 10,000 CASTS.
559
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:26,400
WHAT I REALLY NEED NOW,
BESIDES CATCHING A FISH,
560
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:33,267
IS A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,
BUT I FIND THAT I CLOSE MY EYES
561
00:33:33,267 --> 00:33:39,767
AND I'M EXPECTING THE SHAPE
OF A FISH TO SLIDE INTO VIEW
562
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:41,200
AT ANY MOMENT.
563
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,400
I'M JUST SITTING HERE
ALL TWITCHY, TIRED,
564
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,233
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
STRANGELY AWAKE.
565
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:57,167
IF I'M GOING TO WIN
THIS BATTLE,
566
00:33:57,167 --> 00:33:58,733
I'VE GOT NO CHOICE
567
00:33:58,733 --> 00:34:03,067
BUT TO GET BACK OUT THERE
AND KEEP WORKING THE WATER.
568
00:34:13,567 --> 00:34:18,733
DO GOOD THINGS COME
TO THOSE WHO WAIT?
569
00:34:18,733 --> 00:34:23,133
OR AM I FATED TO FAIL?
570
00:34:24,533 --> 00:34:27,400
FINALLY, AFTER A WEEK
WITH LITTLE SLEEP...
571
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,700
FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW.
572
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:31,600
...THERE'S SOMETHING BIG
STALKING MY LURE.
573
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,700
MUSKIE.
574
00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:34,400
WHOO, THERE WE GO.
575
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,667
IT'S THE OBJECT
OF MY OBSESSION,
576
00:34:36,667 --> 00:34:38,400
AND I CAN ALMOST TOUCH IT.
577
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,733
IT'S STILL THERE.
IT'S STILL THERE.
578
00:34:39,733 --> 00:34:40,933
BUT WILL IT STRIKE?
579
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:55,200
IN THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS,
I'M GOING ALL OUT FOR A MUSKIE.
580
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,067
Wade: FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW,
FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW.
581
00:34:58,067 --> 00:35:00,933
AND I FINALLY GOT ONE
IN MY SIGHTS.
582
00:35:00,933 --> 00:35:02,300
MUSKIE.
583
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:04,300
WHOO, THERE WE GO.
584
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:07,567
BIG FISH, JEREMY.
585
00:35:07,567 --> 00:35:09,733
IT'S TANTALIZINGLY CLOSE.
586
00:35:09,733 --> 00:35:10,900
IT'S STILL THERE.
IT'S STILL THERE.
587
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,067
THEN, IT SIMPLY VANISHES.
588
00:35:13,067 --> 00:35:15,133
FOR [BLEEP] SAKE.
589
00:35:21,767 --> 00:35:24,867
I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED
ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
590
00:35:24,867 --> 00:35:27,700
I FEEL I'M BEING TAUNTED.
591
00:35:27,700 --> 00:35:32,067
THE FRUSTRATION LEVEL IS GETTING
PRETTY WELL OFF THE SCALE.
592
00:35:32,067 --> 00:35:35,700
TO SEE A FISH
THAT FAR BEHIND YOUR LURE
593
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:37,667
AND THEN IT
DOESN'T TAKE IT IS JUST --
594
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:39,433
AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
595
00:35:39,433 --> 00:35:42,600
ALL YOU CAN DO
IS TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN.
596
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,200
HOW MANY TIMES?
597
00:35:46,567 --> 00:35:48,967
THE DAYS ARE RUNNING TOGETHER.
598
00:35:48,967 --> 00:35:52,267
MORE MUSKIES FOLLOW MY LURES,
599
00:35:52,267 --> 00:35:55,433
BUT THE STRIKE I'M SO
DESPERATE FOR NEVER COMES.
600
00:35:55,433 --> 00:35:56,833
[ GROANS ]
601
00:35:56,833 --> 00:35:59,767
IN JUST A FEW MORE WEEKS,
THIS LAKE WILL FREEZE,
602
00:35:59,767 --> 00:36:03,433
AND IT'LL BE GAME OVER.
603
00:36:03,433 --> 00:36:05,533
I'M AT MY WIT'S END.
604
00:36:05,533 --> 00:36:08,667
PERHAPS IT'S TIME
TO INVOKE THE SPIRITS.
605
00:36:12,167 --> 00:36:15,067
SOMETIMES, WHEN ANGLERS
ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND ANY KIND
606
00:36:15,067 --> 00:36:19,067
OF LOGICAL REASON
WHY THINGS MIGHT IMPROVE,
607
00:36:19,067 --> 00:36:22,200
WE FALL BACK ON SUPERSTITION,
IN WHICH CASE
608
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,833
THIS HERE
IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON CUE.
609
00:36:25,833 --> 00:36:28,500
I TAKE THIS AS A SIGN.
610
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,400
BUT OF WHAT?
611
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,933
SOMETHING TELLS ME I SHOULD
GO BACK TO SPIRIT ROCK.
612
00:36:37,933 --> 00:36:41,200
IT'S NOT A KNOWN MUSKIE SPOT,
613
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,200
BUT I'VE GOT SOMETHING ELSE
ON MY MIND.
614
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,433
I FEEL I'VE LOST BELIEF
IN MYSELF AS AN ANGLER,
615
00:36:46,433 --> 00:36:49,067
AND I NEED TO GET IT BACK.
616
00:36:49,067 --> 00:36:50,700
BECAUSE IT IS
SUCH A SACRED PLACE,
617
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:57,300
I'VE BROUGHT TOBACCO WITH ME TO
MAKE AN OFFERING TO THE SPIRIT.
618
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:09,167
I NEED TO CLEAR MY HEAD
AND REGAIN MY CONFIDENCE.
619
00:37:09,167 --> 00:37:11,333
I JUST NEED TO CATCH A FISH.
620
00:37:11,333 --> 00:37:14,167
ANYTHING WILL DO.
621
00:37:14,167 --> 00:37:16,900
SO I'M GOING
RIGHT BACK TO BASICS --
622
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:21,500
A THIN LINE, A LIGHTWEIGHT ROD,
AND A SMALL HOOK.
623
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:25,733
THE THING ABOUT MUSKIE FISHING
IS THAT IT UTTERLY CONSUMES YOU,
624
00:37:25,733 --> 00:37:27,067
AND AT THE SAME TIME,
625
00:37:27,067 --> 00:37:29,700
YOU JUST GET THESE INTENSE
LEVELS OF FRUSTRATION.
626
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:33,067
AND I'VE GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE I'M ACTUALLY
627
00:37:33,067 --> 00:37:34,367
FISHING SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY.
628
00:37:34,367 --> 00:37:36,167
I'M CASTING. I'M CASTING.
AND I'VE LOST THE EXPECTATION.
629
00:37:36,167 --> 00:37:37,967
I'VE LOST THAT BELIEF
THAT I'M GONNA GET SOMETHING.
630
00:37:37,967 --> 00:37:39,367
I JUST WANT TO FEEL ANYTHING.
631
00:37:39,367 --> 00:37:42,067
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS,
SOMETHING ALIVE
632
00:37:42,067 --> 00:37:47,367
ON THE END OF MY LINE
TO GET THAT BELIEF BACK.
633
00:37:47,367 --> 00:37:52,500
EVEN A SMALL LAKE TROUT
WOULD DO THE TRICK.
634
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:56,067
I'M KEEPING THE BAIT WITHIN
A COUPLE OF FEET OF THE BOTTOM.
635
00:37:56,067 --> 00:37:58,067
SO I'M JUST GIVING IT
A LITTLE BIT OF LIFE
636
00:37:58,067 --> 00:38:00,700
BY JUST RAISING IT A COUPLE
OF FOOT OR SO OFF THE BOTTOM
637
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:03,833
AND LETTING IT SINK DOWN AGAIN.
638
00:38:13,233 --> 00:38:15,733
OH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
YES, YES, YES. THAT'S A FISH.
639
00:38:17,933 --> 00:38:19,900
AT LAST, I'M BACK IN THE GAME.
640
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:22,367
I THINK IT'S COMING UP.
641
00:38:22,367 --> 00:38:23,967
I THINK IT IS COMING UP.
YEAH, I CAN FEEL IT.
642
00:38:23,967 --> 00:38:25,500
I CAN FEEL IT. IT'S COMING.
643
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:28,167
BUT MY ROD IS BUCKLING
UNDER THE STRAIN.
644
00:38:28,167 --> 00:38:31,667
THIS IS NO LAKE TROUT.
645
00:38:31,667 --> 00:38:36,233
I'VE HOOKED A HUGE MUSKIE
WITH TOTALLY THE WRONG GEAR.
646
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:50,867
FRUSTRATED BY MY FAILURE
TO CATCH A GIANT MUSKIE,
647
00:38:50,867 --> 00:38:53,500
I'VE CALLED ON THE SPIRIT
OF EAGLE LAKE.
648
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:56,067
OH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
YES, YES, YES. THAT'S A FISH.
649
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:58,367
AND JUST WHEN I WAS
LEAST EXPECTING IT,
650
00:38:58,367 --> 00:39:01,400
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.
651
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,600
BUT I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
652
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,533
AFTER ENDLESS DAYS OF FAILURE,
653
00:39:06,533 --> 00:39:08,567
I'VE SWITCHED
TO LIGHTWEIGHT GEAR,
654
00:39:08,567 --> 00:39:12,067
JUST TO CATCH SOMETHING SMALL
AND GET BACK MY CONFIDENCE.
655
00:39:12,067 --> 00:39:15,100
I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE LINE.
THIS IS INCREDIBLY WEAK LINE.
656
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:18,500
THE BEAST THAT'S GRABBED
MY BAIT, HOWEVER, IS NO MINNOW.
657
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:19,933
AH!
658
00:39:19,933 --> 00:39:24,300
IT'S A MASSIVE MUSKIE
ON SIX-POUND LINE.
659
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:26,100
WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET THIS IN.
660
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:28,067
I'M JUST GONNA LET
THAT DRAG GO VERY LOOSE.
661
00:39:28,067 --> 00:39:31,333
MY LINE JUST HAS TO TOUCH
A ROCK, A TOOTH,
662
00:39:31,333 --> 00:39:33,867
OR EVEN THE GILL PLATE,
AND IT'LL SNAP.
663
00:39:33,867 --> 00:39:35,833
I GOT TO TRY
AND GET IT NEAR THE BOAT.
664
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:39,167
OH, IT'S GOING DOWN AGAIN.
665
00:39:39,167 --> 00:39:41,067
THERE'S THE FISH.
Man: OH, SHE'S HUGE.
666
00:39:41,067 --> 00:39:42,633
KEEP HER HEAD DOWN.
THAT'S A HUGE FISH.
667
00:39:42,633 --> 00:39:46,933
ALL MY HOPES ARE HANGING
ON THE SLENDEREST OF THREADS.
668
00:39:55,833 --> 00:40:00,067
[ LAUGHTER ]
669
00:40:01,333 --> 00:40:02,800
THIS IS THE MONSTER
FROM SPIRIT ROCK.
670
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,067
IT'S A BIG MUSKIE.
671
00:40:07,067 --> 00:40:08,567
SIX-POUND LINE,
672
00:40:08,567 --> 00:40:13,833
TINY BAIT, SACRED SITE,
MADE THE TOBACCO OFFERING.
673
00:40:13,833 --> 00:40:16,067
THAT HAS TO RANK AS ONE OF
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY CATCHES
674
00:40:16,067 --> 00:40:17,833
OF MY LIFE.
675
00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:22,700
WE'VE GOT...A MUSKIE.
676
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:25,733
I MUST'VE MADE
OVER 13,000 CASTS,
677
00:40:25,733 --> 00:40:28,200
AND IT'S ONLY WHEN
I STOPPED TRYING TO CATCH ONE
678
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,033
THAT A MUSKIE FINALLY BITES.
679
00:40:30,033 --> 00:40:31,900
THAT'S THE HOOK.
680
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:33,367
THAT'S THE LINE.
681
00:40:33,367 --> 00:40:35,633
LOOK AT THAT LINE,
JUST LIKE COTTON.
682
00:40:35,633 --> 00:40:38,367
AND THAT WAS JUST
IN THE CORNER OF THE MOUTH.
683
00:40:38,367 --> 00:40:42,667
THAT LINE -- WELL, THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENS TO THAT LINE IN TEETH.
684
00:40:42,667 --> 00:40:44,233
THAT IS ME, MY TEETH.
685
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:46,800
IT'S FOUR FEET LONG
AND THEN SOME --
686
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,167
BY ANY STANDARDS,
A VERY BIG MUSKIE.
687
00:40:49,167 --> 00:40:50,600
HERE WE GO.
688
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,400
FISH OF 10,000 CASTS --
BIG, OLD MUSKIE.
689
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,133
JUST LOOKING AT IT, YOU CAN TELL
IT'S A SUPREME PREDATOR.
690
00:40:57,133 --> 00:40:58,900
IT JUST HAS
THIS ATTITUDE PROBLEM.
691
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,767
IT'S THE ABSOLUTE TOP PREDATOR
OF THESE WATERS,
692
00:41:02,767 --> 00:41:04,733
AND IT KNOWS IT.
693
00:41:04,733 --> 00:41:08,500
THIS FISH
IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE BEAST.
694
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:09,967
BACK IN THE WATER.
695
00:41:09,967 --> 00:41:13,400
BUT JUST IMAGINE THREE OR FOUR
OF THEM AT THE SURFACE
696
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,400
SWIMMING IN A TIGHT-KNIT GROUP.
697
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,167
YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN
698
00:41:17,167 --> 00:41:20,600
FOR THINKING
YOU'D SEEN THE LAKE SERPENT.
699
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,133
I'M ACTUALLY STILL TRYING
TO TAKE THAT IN.
700
00:41:22,133 --> 00:41:23,300
I MEAN, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
701
00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:25,600
THAT THINGS
WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT THIS WAY
702
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,233
TO CATCH A FISH LIKE THAT
IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THIS?
703
00:41:30,233 --> 00:41:35,067
THEY DID SAY THAT THIS ROCK
IS THE HOME OF A MONSTER.
704
00:41:35,067 --> 00:41:37,500
TURNS OUT
THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
705
00:41:47,733 --> 00:41:49,067
WELL, LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.
706
00:41:49,067 --> 00:41:51,100
I'M NOT SURE
I'VE EVER SEEN JEREMY GIVE UP.
707
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:52,867
BUT IT SURE LOOKED LIKE
HE WAS READY
708
00:41:52,867 --> 00:41:55,233
TO THROW IN THE TOWEL
BEFORE HE CAUGHT THAT MUSKIE.
709
00:41:55,233 --> 00:41:57,267
JEREMY, WHAT WAS
GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND?
710
00:41:57,267 --> 00:41:58,433
I HAD ACTUALLY GIVEN UP.
711
00:41:58,433 --> 00:42:00,500
I WASN'T FISHING FOR MUSKIE
THERE AT ALL.
712
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:03,133
FISHING -- THERE ALWAYS IS
THIS ELEMENT OF LUCK,
713
00:42:03,133 --> 00:42:04,300
THIS RANDOM ELEMENT.
714
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:06,867
AND SOMETIMES,
NOTHING IS GOING YOUR WAY.
715
00:42:06,867 --> 00:42:08,333
AND THAT WAS
WHAT HAD HAPPENED THERE.
716
00:42:08,333 --> 00:42:09,467
I HAD JUST BEEN FISHING,
FISHING, FISHING.
717
00:42:09,467 --> 00:42:10,633
NOTHING AT ALL.
718
00:42:10,633 --> 00:42:13,800
AND THEN SOMETIMES
THINGS CAN JUST TURN AROUND
719
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,800
SO OUTRAGEOUSLY THAT YOU JUST
DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS POSSIBLE.
720
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,900
AND I STILL HAVE TROUBLE
ACTUALLY REGISTERING
721
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:22,233
THAT I CAUGHT THAT FISH.
722
00:42:22,233 --> 00:42:23,733
SUCH A TINY LINE, TINY HOOK.
723
00:42:23,733 --> 00:42:25,667
SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
AMAZING.
724
00:42:25,667 --> 00:42:27,567
A FISHING MIRACLE, WASN'T IT?
IT WAS.
725
00:42:27,567 --> 00:42:30,200
WELL, RIGHT NOW, JEREMY WADE
IS TAKING A TINY BREAK
726
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,200

00:42:36,567 --> 00:42:39,500

00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:42,900

OKAY, JEREMY.
738
00:42:57,133 --> 00:42:58,833
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT YOUR FIRST VIEWER QUESTION.
739
00:42:58,833 --> 00:43:01,267
OOH, AND I HOPE
I DON'T MESS THIS UP.
740
00:43:01,267 --> 00:43:03,700
STRAHINJA G. ASKS...
741
00:43:10,367 --> 00:43:12,633
WHERE WOULD YOU
LIKE TO BE FISHING?
742
00:43:12,633 --> 00:43:14,900
AT THIS POINT,
GOING INTO SEASON 7,
743
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:17,633
WE HAVE THIS INCREDIBLE
GEOGRAPHICAL SPREAD.
744
00:43:17,633 --> 00:43:20,100
ONE PLACE
WE'VE NEVER BEEN TO IS CHINA.
745
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:21,667
I WOULD LOVE
TO GO TO CHINA.
746
00:43:21,667 --> 00:43:23,800
THERE IS AN AMAZING FISH
THAT LIVES THERE.
747
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,400
IT'S CALLED -- I BELIEVE
IT'S THE CHINESE SEERFISH.
748
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,133
NOW, THE TROUBLE IS
WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE
749
00:43:29,133 --> 00:43:31,367
WHERE THERE IS
A REALISTIC CHANCE
750
00:43:31,367 --> 00:43:33,600
OF GETTING SOMETHING
IN A 2½-WEEK PERIOD.
751
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:34,967
NOW, THESE RIVER MONSTERS,
752
00:43:34,967 --> 00:43:36,267
THEY'RE GETTING HARDER
AND HARDER TO FIND
753
00:43:36,267 --> 00:43:37,433
EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
754
00:43:37,433 --> 00:43:39,200
AND IN CHINA,
UNFORTUNATELY,
755
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,600
I DO NOT THINK
THERE'S A REALISTIC CHANCE
756
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,733
OF CATCHING ANYTHING IN THE TIME
THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
757
00:43:44,733 --> 00:43:47,200
SO, FOR THE TIME BEING,
CHINA IS OFF THE MAP.
758
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,400
NOT EVEN JEREMY WADE
CAN CATCH IT.
759
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,533
HARD TO BELIEVE.
760
00:43:50,533 --> 00:43:52,967
LET'S GET A QUESTION.
JOSHUA K. ASKS...
761
00:43:55,767 --> 00:43:58,600
I THINK WHAT HE'S THINKING ABOUT
THERE IS A LATIN NAME,
762
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,800
A SCIENTIFIC NAME.
763
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,167
IT WOULD DEPEND ON WHAT THE WAS,
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE,
764
00:44:02,167 --> 00:44:03,867
BUT WHAT I WOULD REALLY
LIKE TO DO --
765
00:44:03,867 --> 00:44:05,833
THERE IS -- I'D TRY TO GET
A SCIENTIFIC NAME
766
00:44:05,833 --> 00:44:09,133
THAT IS LONGER THAN THE CURRENT
LONGEST SCIENTIFIC NAME,
767
00:44:09,133 --> 00:44:11,700
WHICH I BELIEVE
IS DIPHYLLOBOTHRIUM LATUM.
768
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:13,300
IT'S A TYPE
OF PARASITIC WORM.
769
00:44:13,300 --> 00:44:15,067
I WOULD LIKE
TO NAME SOMETHING --
770
00:44:15,067 --> 00:44:16,867
A LITTLE WORM
WITH A BIG NAME.
771
00:44:16,867 --> 00:44:18,367
EXACTLY. YEAH. EXACTLY.
772
00:44:18,367 --> 00:44:20,667
I'D GO AWAY AND I'D THINK
ABOUT IT FOR A FEW WEEKS
773
00:44:20,667 --> 00:44:22,300
AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING
EVEN LONGER THAN THAT.
774
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:23,433
EVEN LONGER?
OKAY.
775
00:44:23,433 --> 00:44:24,900
WELL, RIGHT NOW,
YOU'RE PROBABLY CURIOUS
776
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:26,767
ABOUT THE NUMBER
IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN.
777
00:44:26,767 --> 00:44:28,833
WE'RE COUNTING DOWN
TO THE PREMIER
778
00:44:28,833 --> 00:44:30,433
OF "100 MILES FROM NOWHERE."
779
00:44:30,433 --> 00:44:32,733
ABOUT THREE GUYS,
WHO MUCH LIKE JEREMY,
780
00:44:32,733 --> 00:44:34,333
ARE EXTRAORDINARY
ADVENTURERS.
781
00:44:34,333 --> 00:44:37,300
IN FACT, SINCE NO CAMERA MAN
DARES TO FOLLOW THEM,
782
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:38,333
THEY SHOOT EVERYTHING
THEMSELVES,
783
00:44:38,333 --> 00:44:40,200
BUT THAT'S COMING UP
IN A FEW MINUTES.
784
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,500
AND RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT JEREMY
IN THE HOT SEAT,
785
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:44,167
SO LET'S GET TO
ANOTHER QUESTION.
786
00:44:44,167 --> 00:44:46,133
RYAN M. ASKS...
787
00:44:53,267 --> 00:44:54,500
WELL, THERE'S AN OFFER.
788
00:44:54,500 --> 00:44:56,833
AND I THINK "FISH TO CHEST" IS
THE ARAPAIMA.
789
00:44:56,833 --> 00:44:58,867
SO, DO YOU NEED
A PERSONAL ASSISTANT?
790
00:44:58,867 --> 00:45:00,500
MAKING GOOD TEA IS
A GOOD START.
791
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:02,733
AS A RULE,
I DON'T NEED AN ASSISTANT,
792
00:45:02,733 --> 00:45:05,900
BUT IN THAT ONE INSTANCE
OF FLYING ARAPAIMA BEING AROUND,
793
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,300
DEFINITELY SOMEONE
TO GET IN THE WAY AT THAT POINT.
794
00:45:08,300 --> 00:45:10,067
YEAH.
TAKE A FLYING FISH FOR YOU.
795
00:45:10,067 --> 00:45:11,667
WELL,
HERE'S ONE FROM GABRIELA.
796
00:45:11,667 --> 00:45:13,267
SHE'S ASKING...
797
00:45:17,733 --> 00:45:19,833
I THINK SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT'S
THE WEIRDEST FOOD YOU'VE EATEN.
798
00:45:19,833 --> 00:45:22,733
I'VE EATEN BUGS, INSECTS,
ON A FEW OCCASIONS,
799
00:45:22,733 --> 00:45:25,300
FRIED LOCUSTS
FRIED IN THEIR OWN FAT,
800
00:45:25,300 --> 00:45:26,967
PALM GRUBS IN THE AMAZON.
801
00:45:26,967 --> 00:45:29,467
THEIR LITTLE
SORT OF MAGGOTY THINGS.
802
00:45:29,467 --> 00:45:30,800
DID IT TASTE
LIKE CHICKEN?
803
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:31,933
NO, THEY DON'T.
804
00:45:31,933 --> 00:45:33,667
THEY TASTE OF COCONUT OIL
805
00:45:33,667 --> 00:45:36,633
BECAUSE THEY LIVE
IN A SMALL COCONUT THING.
806
00:45:36,633 --> 00:45:38,533
THEY'RE ACTUALLY VERY TASTY.
807
00:45:38,533 --> 00:45:40,467
AND I'VE EATEN A LARGER VERSION
OF THOSE,
808
00:45:40,467 --> 00:45:42,300
WHICH ARE ABOUT THE SIZE
OF YOUR THUMB
809
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:44,100
IN GUYANA.
810
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:45,767
AND THAT WAS
FAIRLY HORRIBLE.
811
00:45:45,767 --> 00:45:46,867
THAT, UM --
812
00:45:46,867 --> 00:45:49,667
IT'S A SORT OF
MAGGOTY TEXTURE.
813
00:45:49,667 --> 00:45:51,500
I MEAN, VERY PROTEINACEOUS,
814
00:45:51,500 --> 00:45:54,800
BUT A SLIGHT SORT OF SMELL
OF EXCREMENT ABOUT IT,
815
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,233
WHICH I DIDN'T LIKE.
OH, GOD.
816
00:45:56,233 --> 00:45:58,633
SO, YOU LIKE PROTEIN, BUT NOT
WHEN IT TASTES LIKE MAGGOT.
817
00:45:58,633 --> 00:46:00,467
YEAH, JUST HOLD YOUR NOSE
FOR THAT ONE.
818
00:46:00,467 --> 00:46:01,500
OKAY. OKAY.
YEAH.
819
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:03,167
WELL, MOST PEOPLE
DON'T REALIZE
820
00:46:03,167 --> 00:46:05,167
THAT THE VAST MAJORITY
OF WHAT'S FILMED
821
00:46:05,167 --> 00:46:07,067
FOR "RIVER MONSTERS"
NEVER GETS SEEN.
822
00:46:07,067 --> 00:46:08,500
CHECK OUT AN EPIC STRUGGLE
823
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:10,800
THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT
INTO TONIGHT EPISODE.
824
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,333
[ LAUGHTER ]
825
00:46:12,333 --> 00:46:14,200
THIS IS SOPHIE THE DOG.
826
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,067
SHE LIVES
ON A LAKE IN ONTARIO.
827
00:46:16,067 --> 00:46:17,767
LOOKS LIKE
YOU CAN CATCH FISH, JEREMY,
828
00:46:17,767 --> 00:46:19,700
BUT YOU CAN'T CATCH A DOG.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
829
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:21,067
SHE'S GOT MY SHOE,
I THINK,
830
00:46:21,067 --> 00:46:23,267
AND WE CAN'T GO OUT ON THE LAKE
UNTIL I GET MY SHOE BACK.
831
00:46:23,267 --> 00:46:24,300
AWW, SOPHIE.
832
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:26,133
OKAY, WE'VE GOT
ANOTHER QUESTION.
833
00:46:26,133 --> 00:46:28,967
@acary99 IS ASKING...
834
00:46:34,767 --> 00:46:36,333
INTERESTING.
PEOPLE ARE THINKING --
835
00:46:36,333 --> 00:46:37,533
THE PROGRAM IS AN HOUR LONG.
836
00:46:37,533 --> 00:46:40,767
THAT NORMALLY TAKES US
ABOUT 2½, 3 WEEKS TO FILM.
837
00:46:40,767 --> 00:46:44,333
OF THAT, GENERALLY JUST
FOUR OR FIVE DAYS OF FISHING.
838
00:46:44,333 --> 00:46:47,367
IT MIGHT BE
9 OR 10 SOMETIMES.
839
00:46:47,367 --> 00:46:48,800
AND WE HAVE TO GET THE FISH.
840
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,533
IF WE DON'T GET THE FISH, WE
HAVEN'T GOT THE PROGRAM.
841
00:46:51,533 --> 00:46:53,700
THE GREAT THING
ABOUT HAVING LIMITED TIME
842
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:56,533
IS IT CONCENTRATES YOUR MIND,
AND SO I'M REALLY FOCUSED.
843
00:46:56,533 --> 00:46:57,867
I'M FISHING EFFECTIVELY.
844
00:46:57,867 --> 00:47:00,900
I'M NOT JUST THROWING A LINE OUT
AT RANDOM AND SITTING BACK.
845
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:03,233
THERE IS PRESSURE,
AND THAT IS A GOOD THING.
846
00:47:03,233 --> 00:47:04,400
SOMETIMES WE RUN OVER.
847
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,233
OCCASIONALLY
WE HAVE TO GO BACK.
848
00:47:06,233 --> 00:47:08,233
NORMALLY WE DO IT
IN THE TIME.
849
00:47:08,233 --> 00:47:10,267
KEELEY F. IS ASKING...
850
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:16,400
WHY WOULD I GET FRUSTRATED?
851
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,100
NO, IF YOU'RE MAKING
TELEVISION,
852
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,267
YOU WANT PEOPLE TO WATCH
WHAT YOU'RE MAKING.
853
00:47:20,267 --> 00:47:21,433
IF THEY DON'T WATCH IT,
854
00:47:21,433 --> 00:47:23,267
I'VE GOT TO GO
AND FIND ANOTHER JOB,
855
00:47:23,267 --> 00:47:25,333
WHICH IS PROBABLY
LESS INTERESTING, SO...
856
00:47:25,333 --> 00:47:26,367
I'M SURE IT WOULD BE.
857
00:47:26,367 --> 00:47:27,700
...I'M DELIGHTED
THAT PEOPLE WATCH.
858
00:47:27,700 --> 00:47:28,700
WHY WOULD I BE OTHERWISE?
859
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:30,100
WELL, SPEAKING OF FANS,
860
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:33,433
I THINK WE HAVE A PICTURE OF YOU
PREPARING TO GO SHOPPING.
861
00:47:33,433 --> 00:47:35,600
UH! YEAH. THERE YOU ARE.
THERE YOU ARE.
862
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,500
THAT'S YOU UNDER THERE,
ISN'T IT?
863
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:38,633
THAT IS ACTUALLY ME.
864
00:47:38,633 --> 00:47:40,533
SO, YOU WEAR THAT
TO GO SHOPPING?
865
00:47:40,533 --> 00:47:41,867
I DID ON THAT OCCASION.
866
00:47:41,867 --> 00:47:44,067
THIS WAS FILMING LAST YEAR
IN THE U.S.
867
00:47:44,067 --> 00:47:48,067
AND WE ACTUALLY WENT INTO
A SUPERMARKET TO BUY BATTERIES.
868
00:47:48,067 --> 00:47:49,467
AND SOMEBODY SPOTTED ME.
869
00:47:49,467 --> 00:47:50,767
AND I ENDED UP --
870
00:47:50,767 --> 00:47:52,600
I COULDN'T GET AWAY FOR ABOUT
20 MINUTES OR HALF AN HOUR,
871
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,133
TAKING PICTURES,
WHICH WAS GREAT,
872
00:47:54,133 --> 00:47:55,800
BUT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE
OF A BUSY DAY.
873
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,833
SO THE BOUGHT THAT WIG
AND THAT FAKE BEARD AND SAID,
874
00:47:59,833 --> 00:48:01,267
"NEXT WE GO SHOPPING,
YOU'RE WEARING THAT."
875
00:48:01,267 --> 00:48:03,333
RIGHT, SO BATTERIES TAKE FIVE
MINUTES INSTEAD OF 20.
876
00:48:03,333 --> 00:48:04,667
MM-HMM.
I GET IT.
877
00:48:04,667 --> 00:48:06,967
JEREMY DOES GET RECOGNIZED,
ESPECIALLY IN THE U.S.,
878
00:48:06,967 --> 00:48:08,367
BUT I KNOW IN SOME PLACES,
879
00:48:08,367 --> 00:48:10,267
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA
WHO JEREMY IS
880
00:48:10,267 --> 00:48:12,633
OR THAT A FILM PRODUCTION
IS EVEN GOING ON.
881
00:48:12,633 --> 00:48:14,200
AND HERE'S EVIDENCE
OF THAT.
882
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,667
TELL ME, JEREMY,
WHAT IS THE STORY
883
00:48:16,667 --> 00:48:19,200
BEHIND THIS
HORRIBLE LOOKING THING?
884
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,200
THIS IS NOT THE REAL THING,
I HAVE TO SAY.
885
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,367
THIS IS A PROP.
886
00:48:22,367 --> 00:48:23,700
THIS IS FROM
THIS RECONSTRUCTION HERE.
887
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:26,667
THERE WAS A STORY
OF SOMEBODY GETTING SWALLOWED
888
00:48:26,667 --> 00:48:27,933
BY A GIANT CATFISH,
889
00:48:27,933 --> 00:48:30,833
AND WE FILMED THIS
IN A FISH MARKET IN GUYANA,
890
00:48:30,833 --> 00:48:34,133
AND WE TOLD THE PEOPLE,
OBVIOUSLY, WHO ARE OUR ACTORS,
891
00:48:34,133 --> 00:48:35,833
AND THE PEOPLE
IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS,
892
00:48:35,833 --> 00:48:37,667
BUT SOME PEOPLE WHO WERE
SLIGHTLY FURTHER AWAY --
893
00:48:37,667 --> 00:48:40,267
THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO,
UNDERSTANDABLY, FREAKED OUT.
894
00:48:40,267 --> 00:48:42,533
SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL,
GOT ON THE PHONE,
895
00:48:42,533 --> 00:48:45,067
THE NEXT THING WE KNEW,
WE HAD A LOCAL NEWS CREW.
896
00:48:45,067 --> 00:48:47,067
THEY GOT THERE
BEFORE THE POLICE.
897
00:48:47,067 --> 00:48:48,667
AND WE HAD TO EXPLAIN
TO EVERYBODY
898
00:48:48,667 --> 00:48:49,833
THIS IS NOT A REAL EVENT.
899
00:48:49,833 --> 00:48:52,200
AND THEY WENT AWAY
SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED.
900
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,600
THERE IS A P.S.
TO THIS STORY.
901
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:54,900
WE WERE LEAVING
THE COUNTRY.
902
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:57,067
WE WERE GOING OUT
THROUGH THE AIRPORT,
903
00:48:57,067 --> 00:49:00,167
AND HAVING CHECKED IN OUR BAGS,
WE HAVE LIKE 30, 40 BAGS,
904
00:49:00,167 --> 00:49:01,867
INSTEAD OF THEM GOING ONTO
THE CONVEYOR,
905
00:49:01,867 --> 00:49:02,900
WE THEN HAD TO TAKE THEM
906
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:04,600
AND GET THEM X-RAYED
BEFORE THEY WENT OUT,
907
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,633
AND THE GUY
ON THE X-RAY MACHINE
908
00:49:06,633 --> 00:49:09,933
SUDDENLY THROWS HIS ARMS
IN THE AIR, CALLS OUR CAMERAMAN,
909
00:49:09,933 --> 00:49:12,533
AND SAYS, "HAVE YOU GOT A BODY
IN THIS BAG?"
910
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:14,067
AND WE HAD TO EXPLAIN,
"IT'S A PLASTIC ONE.
911
00:49:14,067 --> 00:49:15,333
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT."
912
00:49:15,333 --> 00:49:16,767
THEY DIDN'T CHECK IT OUT.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL ONE.
913
00:49:16,767 --> 00:49:18,333
ANYWAY, IT WENT THROUGH --
914
00:49:18,333 --> 00:49:20,067
BODIES IN LUGGAGE.
YEAH.
915
00:49:20,067 --> 00:49:22,067
WELL, WE'RE GETTING
LOTS OF GREAT QUESTIONS
916
00:49:22,067 --> 00:49:23,133
AND REEL MONSTER PHOTOS.
917
00:49:23,133 --> 00:49:24,867
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE
WHO'S POSTING.
918
00:49:24,867 --> 00:49:28,067
NEXT, NANCY M. IS ASKING...
919
00:49:30,833 --> 00:49:33,733
...WITH A LITTLE WINK.
WHEN DID YOU BECOME SO HOT?
920
00:49:33,733 --> 00:49:37,567
ON THE PROGRAMS,
MY CO-STARS ARE FISH,
921
00:49:37,567 --> 00:49:40,433
WHICH ARE PRETTY HIDEOUS
ON THE WHOLE.
922
00:49:40,433 --> 00:49:42,333
SO, BY DEFAULT, YOU'RE
THE HOTTEST ONE ON THE SCREEN.
923
00:49:42,333 --> 00:49:44,500
AND ANYBODY'S GONNA LOOK GOOD
NEXT TO, SAY, A GOONCH CATFISH.
924
00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:47,200
SO, IF YOU'RE A MAN
AND YOU WANT TO LOOK GOOD,
925
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,867
AN INFLATABLE
GOONCH CATFISH --
926
00:49:48,867 --> 00:49:50,500
SOMETHING UGLY NEXT TO YOU.
EXACTLY.
927
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:51,833
I GET IT. I GET IT.
928
00:49:51,833 --> 00:49:54,133
I BELIEVE WE DID
SOME SORT OF A BIT
929
00:49:54,133 --> 00:49:56,067
OF A PROMO SHOOT
A WHILE AGO,
930
00:49:56,067 --> 00:49:59,400
AND THE THING IS, IF YOU'RE
DOING THIS KIND OF THING HERE --
931
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,767
NO, THAT'S PRETTY --
YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF GQ JEREMY.
932
00:50:02,767 --> 00:50:04,000
YOU KNOW,
THAT IS NOT A SNAP.
933
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,567
SOMEBODY'S TAKEN ALL DAY
TO SHOOT THAT.
934
00:50:05,567 --> 00:50:07,467
SOMEBODY SITS DOWN
ON A PHOTOSHOP MACHINE,
935
00:50:07,467 --> 00:50:10,333
OR WHATEVER THEY CALL THEM,
FOR A WHOLE DAY.
936
00:50:10,333 --> 00:50:12,233
WELL,
STUART H. HAS A QUESTION.
937
00:50:19,167 --> 00:50:20,833
WOW. I PROMISE
WE DON'T KNOW STUART,
938
00:50:20,833 --> 00:50:22,367
AND I WAS GOING TO
BRING THIS UP
939
00:50:22,367 --> 00:50:23,600
BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING COOL
TO SHOW YOU,
940
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,733
BUT STUART OBVIOUSLY
BEAT ME TO IT.
941
00:50:25,733 --> 00:50:28,600
JEREMY IS DEFINITELY GOING AFTER
SOME PREHISTORIC BEASTS
942
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,500
IN MONSTER WEEK
AT THE END OF MAY.
943
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:31,633
AND HERE WE GO.
944
00:50:31,633 --> 00:50:32,967
YEAH, THESE ARE SOME
OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT.
945
00:50:32,967 --> 00:50:35,100
YOU'LL HAVE TO
WATCH THAT SHOW
946
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:38,300
TO SEE THE BEASTS
THAT WE FEATURED.
947
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:39,633
IMPRESSIVE.
948
00:50:39,633 --> 00:50:40,767
SOME HORRENDOUS STUFF.
949
00:50:40,767 --> 00:50:41,800
LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THAT ONE.
950
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,267
THAT IS AMAZING.
951
00:50:43,267 --> 00:50:46,933
WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT ONE OF THOSE
BEASTS RIGHT HERE, DON'T WE?
952
00:50:46,933 --> 00:50:49,733
YEAH, THIS IS --
I GOT INTO SOME FOSSIL HUNTING,
953
00:50:49,733 --> 00:50:53,367
AND THIS IS A 3D PRINT
OF THE SKULL
954
00:50:53,367 --> 00:50:54,700
OF A MEGA PIRANHA.
955
00:50:54,700 --> 00:50:58,400
AND THE WHOLE CREATURE WOULD
HAVE COME OUT ABOUT HERE.
956
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,700
CAREFUL. DON'T GET YOUR HANDS
ANYWHERE NEAR THE MOUTH.
957
00:50:59,700 --> 00:51:00,767
OH, YES.
958
00:51:00,767 --> 00:51:04,100
BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
THIS IS ONE OF
959
00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:07,067
THE LESS TERRIFYING CREATURES
THAT WE FEATURE.
960
00:51:07,067 --> 00:51:08,067
THIS IS THE GOLDFISH
OF THE COLLECTION.
961
00:51:08,067 --> 00:51:09,233
EXACTLY.
962
00:51:09,233 --> 00:51:12,533
SO, TO SEE THE OTHER ONES --
A BIT OF A SPOILER --
963
00:51:12,533 --> 00:51:13,667
THIS PROGRAM IS COMING UP,
964
00:51:13,667 --> 00:51:15,833
BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
TO SEE
965
00:51:15,833 --> 00:51:16,933
WHAT THIS ONE IS.
966
00:51:16,933 --> 00:51:18,800
SEE WHAT THE REST OF IT IS.
I CAN'T WAIT.
967
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,467
WELL, IT'S HARD TO TOP EVERY
SEASON OF "RIVER MONSTERS,"
968
00:51:21,467 --> 00:51:23,633
BUT I CAN TELL YOU,
THIS SEASON, JEREMY DOES
969
00:51:23,633 --> 00:51:25,700
SOME THINGS HE'S NEVER DARED
TO DO BEFORE.
970
00:51:25,700 --> 00:51:27,067
AND YOU'RE NOT
GONNA WANT TO MISS IT.
971
00:51:27,067 --> 00:51:28,600
JEREMY, THANKS SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US.
972
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:29,633
BEEN A LOT OF FUN.
THANKS.
