0:50 it was phenomenal is it true that I heard the cool part about fishing is the serenity that like you you're forced to be in while you're like waiting maybe like the boring ass people who told you that that's the part that I like but it's like golf right it's more about hanging out like that dude fishing is fun we gotta go is it about the fish wait you want to come fishing with us although deep sea fishing does sound fun because it seems like there's a lot of action there's a lot of action a lot action can we do fishing where we catch fish and not Turtles on accident oh God you caught a Turtle Beach a bunch of times on accident really it's the same one a bunch of times to pull a turtle in I'm not gonna say where but it happened recently where were you ████ fishing Turtle Cove no but close to where I live

1:42 and I was like oh no oh ████ I would hate to catch a turtle that would ████ me and ████ you up were you fishing in the the lake in your guys's Community I can't I'm not gonna say anything it's like these baby turtles you ████ caught a turtle a bunch of times I caught Leonardo Donatello and Raphael I see him at a mall I see them all with their Pawns when you're a kid by the way and you're watching the Ninja Turtles and you're seeing them get wailed on by the Foot Clan you don't hear those noises oh no you heard little turtle screams oh geez man all right you need to go anyway we need to go fishing with him where do you wanna where's beginner fishing I want to go fishing dude deep sea deep sea is fun though because even if you're a beginner you're gonna get the immediate gratification because the worst thing to do is be a beginner Fisher go to a real fishing spot not catch something for

2:33 five hours and be like why the ████ did I do that that's why we go oh I lied I did go fishing once the first time ever did I ever tell you guys when I went spearfishing no your first time fishing is spear fishing you're so barked so uh a lot of my buddies in high school were spear Fishers because they're like whacking they're on the swim team a bunch of losers I was on the swim team dude and we were just talking each other up and for some reason we're like we should go spear fishing and we're like okay let's do it right now so my buddy we go to the Chinese supermarket because those fish are already swimming around in a fish tank we literally buy a ████ trash bag full of swimming this is not the right spear fishing we took them and dumped it into his pool

3:23 we donned all the spirits so they're already dying of chlorine we've done all over the topic all of all of the spear fishing gear and we just went underneath I'd rather ████ fish for Turtles and we just started blasting and then the mom comes home and there's ████ fish guts all over the pool and there's chips in the plaster because when you miss it hits the ████ Plaster of the pool shake that did you guys accidentally hit the little pool filter buddy that's like floating somebody actually hit that bucket so I don't think my first experience was the right one I don't think my butt oh you've been fishing before I don't think they did me a good thing and the fish were hella weakened by the chlorine bro you didn't even ████ hunt yeah you already holding your breath yeah dude these fish are dying what a thing to do that's a very Bart thing to do in high school that wasn't my idea it's very bar and it's very gel at the same time Joe

4:13 wasn't there Joe wasn't there yeah but still didn't have to be there I think we put him there JK Adventure we go ████ I'll take you guys fishing I got fishing stuff I love fishing where do you go you go to the beach okay the closest spot to me is actually a terrible spot to fish which is Lake Balboa terrible spots why because the fish there's nasties it's first of all it's a man-made lake so they put in like little ass ████ catfish and a little ass bass and stuff like that at least they don't put in turtles that sounds terrible that happened at the man-made lake I'm familiar with it's it's fun to fish off the pier even though it feels kind of ghetto a little bit let's get the gummy fish fishing on the Pierce fine dude let's go let's go I love it deep sea fishing we're not doing the ████ okay do you see what happens if we catch a real big turtle but anyways there's a fishing there was a fishing a tournament

5:08 now I I want you to take this seriously because it might not be serious to us because not as relatable but I wanted I wanted to relate it to us okay it's relatable all right so there's a fishing tournament that was hit by a huge scandal after an entrant allegedly not really allegedly because you got caught stuffed his catch with weights in order to win oh yeah he's trying to win oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and he did win he did oh that was huge because this dude this specific guy has been doing it a long time and he's won Millions oh ████ was it Millions yeah that was a big scam dude that's what they were saying that this dude over the years that he's been doing it from like different contests and whatever deals he's made he's like created a reputation for himself explain to somebody who doesn't fish like this I don't fish so when you that's a turtle right it makes screams and screams basically

6:00 Simple Story you go to a fishing competition usually in the competition the person who catches the biggest catch wins the grand prize so even if it's not like physically big it's gonna be based off of weight so if you take a ████ a fish and you put literally an actual weight in it and you know when you're using a fishing like a bob weight or anything like that or like a drop catch weight it's literally grams and or nearly a pound right that could be the difference between a winner and this fool is stuffing them down his catches and then weighing his catches winning competitions over and over so he would catch it and then stuff it stuck in his mouth and it's been fishing for like tuna those things could be like 300 pounds he sounds smart so if you're like stuffing weights in there you could literally put ████ like 45 seconds so they have that amount of time in between judging to stuff their fish yeah I would assume it's the moment when you're

6:50 reeling it in and then you grab it right there right and then how do you make that look well the judges are just like this one's big boned you know and like it's just like the women I have sex with it like pops out of weight they always make jokes so here's uh they're chummy they cut it up you know this this is that the uh tight knit Community this is that the recent tournament where he finally we got caught and when he gets caught it's uh you'll see there's two people in the video one is him we'll see his back and the other person is the director of that tournament competition who ends up catching him after he's already won and received prize money at the event this is like just after he gets called out for cheating so then the director ends up going up to him after the fact calling him out for it this guy's so ████ shocked that he like doesn't even deny he just shuts down he

7:41 just shuts down silently just ████ getting ████ reprimanded for a ████ as the Director starts ████ flaying his fish and weights fall out weights how long is this because my Uber's here oh yeah [Music] see sounds like a boys club holy ████ call the cops so it's this guy who got caught not even moving I want you to leave those are the fish right there oh it's a small fish so watch them watch them oh yeah yeah it's gonna cut it open

8:37 out weights whoa that's a big boy [Music] foreign it just says initially his name is Chase Chase Kaminsky and Jake Runyan they took on the gold following the way in uh this is just behind the scenes uh Discovery this was live streamed um and then suddenly there's a bunch of confusion that happens during the live stream on the side of the stage and then the camera ends up kind of panning over

9:27 to there and that's when all the yelling and shouting I feel like somebody would have to see him do that in order to be confronted and then try and prove it this is why you just don't tell your wife about your personal ████ stupid because they're just there to destroy you like like and I'm not just I'm not being like extra but they don't want you to win I mean from a a man who's relationship is on the fritz some of rocks to the Rocks yeah so I get I get where you're coming from he was even stuffing it with with more fish yeah yeah more fish literally taking like a ████ like bait or fillets of other fish yeah yeah just putting it in the fish to add I don't see what's wrong with this fan of redundancy that's okay how did they find out like that's crazy how do you just go like this guy's foolish I wonder I wonder if there's a

10:17 guy who like who's in second place who has this giant fish looks at the first place with his like mediocre fish and it's like I don't know yeah I can't or he's like I do like the big bone ████ but man I don't know there are there were a lot of comments in like like if you go to like the fishing IGS where these communities are in a lot of people are like we always ████ knew that guy was cheating like how do you win every single time for so long apparently that's why they're like dude he bought a boat he was like made all this money doing this ████ so they that's why they're so pissed because I bet there's not a consistent winner you know like because I feel like it's a it's a it's a game of chance isn't it a little bit because you're playing with another variable that you're not in control of yeah exactly you know what I mean so it's like for him to win consistently that's probably when everybody like if you're a real fisherman you probably know that like

11:07 how are you getting these fish every single he was getting away with it too if he's putting ball bearings in this ████ fish yeah like you're getting away with some ████ that's like an evolved plan like it probably was smaller and less detectable and by now he's like ████ these guys putting billiard ball size yeah holy the density probably felt uh have you uh have you encountered people that are like uh cheating in your guys's respective Industries uh and Instagram Fitness yeah how's that one instagram fake weights like so out of competition it's really hard because you have like three refs on you and literally the day before you check in for a power lifting me like they check your materials okay it's cotton underwear you're not wearing some stretchy like material that has crazy rebound or whatever so like that stuff is uh it's it's pretty hard to cheat but lifters like if they're trying to get Hella views like that's their way of getting hella views is lifting big

11:57 weights so I've seen people like try to pass off some sort of like assisted material underneath a big hoodie or to like add like another 30 or 40 50 pounds oh no way wow stuff like that where they'll like get a lot of views and maybe they repeat the process they might be able to get the sponsor that they want or whatever I've seen it in like Fitness IG yeah it's amazing they don't run into that moment where they actually get tested and suddenly can't deliver well it's just it's just IG Fitness it's not like an actual they're not going to real events I guess more power to you if you know how to work the system right ████ there's no rules on that right yeah you don't you've seen Dance judges that don't give a ████ and will just vote for whoever their friends are right 100 yeah that's it [Laughter] I know a bunch of dudes that do that

12:48 ████ so they say their names Anthony my song [Music]
