Huge fish in Chernobyl

[PureHayabusa]

its a catfish.. its quite normal for them to be that big

[mattsmoski3737]

Catfish they get bigger than that.

[dixiewife47]

I agree. I dont think its a mutation. Some catfish can grow to very large sizes in normal instances.

[CrazedNovaProduction]

This must be before reactor 4 exploded judging by the camera and the clothes the people are wearing.

[MajoIngram]

its regular catfish you fool..

[93fishi]

Catfish. Lol.

[OsamabinLadenisGAY]

The false belief that radiation makes "huge" mutants comes from the fact that isolated, radiated tissue is destroyed, becoming bloated as the heart continues to pump blood to it; killing the person, causing deformation, and death; the veins and tissue are just cooked in some instances, much like a microwave would do.

[igenther99]

Yay for radioactive fish!

[IBETEHBEST]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FISHING ROD!?!?!?!?

[AgeofGuns]

Holy Mother Of God that is a BIG FISH

[Hurplepaze]

Damn nature, u scary

[BudgieFace11]

Wonder if you could eat them?Or are they toxic as well?!

[jdamlover0]

thats the stupidest joke ive ever herd

.....

[zekeboy24]

OH DEAR GOD!

[ollenhauer1]

[JanusKramer]

I'll get my fishing rod. next stop Pripyat

[ClawingDaGlock]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

[GammelManz]

It's sheatfish. not catfish

[Sylterios]

Silure, search on google...

[andgate2000]

Their big...because nobody has been stupid enough to fish here for 25 years.

[TheLordSod]

@andgate2000 "They're" big ;)

[shadsf342]

watch out, stalkers might raid you, or the fish might turn into a murlurk

[Pikehunter1982]

You dumbass. Thats no mutation, its a Europian Catfish. They can grow to a length at over 3m and can weight more then over 100Kilo's. And these Fishes you where showing here had a maximum length of 2m.

[greenb1a]

Older fish can grow really large. They look happy and healthy.

[zachbarlow25]

Those fish would kick anything here in the states ass

[Carvemasta]

STURGEN!!

[MyFaceHole]

the only reason they are so big is that humans dont live there so that can get that big, if humans lived there, there would be far less fish and smaller ones.

[WileySteel]

Why am I watching catfish?

[MrRealpainter]

Catfish and Carp,,,,normal size,,,,guess they never saw fish before,,,lol

[JuliusIsMe]

Retarded Fish Frogs.

[XFallxOut]

rad. is like acid for reality

[TheSpo69]

Looks like catfish to me. And they get MUCH bigger than that.

[jasonlreeve]

Erm.... Its a catfish, Ive seen bigger than that!

[Add887]

wells catfish for sure.theres noting strange about the size of tat fish.they will easily grow 2or 3 times that size provided they have enough high protien foods

[Kolashov]

i don't think they are effected by the radiation that much. The constant flow of the river carries the radiation away , no ?

[SamRedElf1]

@Kolashov No!

10,000yrs from now the area will be safer but some radiation will remain.

Water flow has little to do with dissipation.

[exet]

the fish are so big because, no one will fish there anymore.

watched a documentary about it, but i forget what it was called

[mechanic386]

Do not be stupid these fish are excellent and healthy specimens of species of catfish in nature and reaches up to 80 kiligrams therefore are not mutants, but a great challenge for fishing

[WaterRunsDark]

@mechanic386 No my friend. They're monsters that will fill your belly with poison.

[snapsalot]

@mechanic386 If they are so healthy and radiation free go right ahead then buddy.

Me I'll stick to the fish who aren't in a radioactive wasteland.

[hitcan79]

@mechanic386 get em into ya then

[freespace2dotcom]

@mechanic386 Great for fishing perhaps, but definately not for eating!

[stenjevec100]

@mechanic386 They are never big as these one.I know,i am fisihng for almost 20 years

[grasnes]

@mechanic386 Glad I saw your comment, I was pretty scared in a min :)

[nukeSAMTwister]

they also glow in the dark and sing songs, how do u think bass pro shop gets the talking/singing wall placks?

[powerjump1]

sharks

[Th3B0mb3r]

Wouldnt try to eat one of those if i were you...

[elbowsfromdebono]

wells cat fish common and rumors of larger fish swallowing ducks and small animals.Or on river monsters children.lol

[Temporaneous]

Look like catfish that nobody is fishing so they are bigger.

[jimbowie09]

Katfisk.

[fuzzy8124]

catfish dinner for 20

[chrisfowler623]

i wanna go fishing now.

[partyinmysocks]

I would be standing on that bridge with a freaking 12gauge trying to blast the bejesus out of the fish

[Ka80SS]

@partyinmysocks

Why? The fish are not hurting anyone. You want to blast something, go blast a fucking Pit Bull.

[TheGhillesuitman]

cat fish can get up to 200lbs

[USoutdoorsman]

nothing wrong with those fish they are wells catfish thats how big they get

[morderfoust]

looks like a wells catfish normal size

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

Have fun with two headed Babys after beeing there....

[imchris5000]

these are small catfish. the ohio river in the united states has catfish the size of small cars on the bottom.

[habbocheater100]

@imchris5000 i shovel head fish there and sence all the bardges uses alot of french frys they tear them up becouse those ships dum scraps of left over food in the river and they have grown to love frys

[RAWRAWRWAR]

Are they edible? 

[tperley]

Normal catfish. Very scary... oooooga booogaaa

[hannah6smiley]

They're called catfish......Just very big catfish.

[hicwron]

ceausium. mutation. 

[ajones4201]

Those are cat fish and they get huge no matter if there is radiation or not. Those are adults.

[bromixPC]

remember =D never eat green glowning fish

[dickcheese663]

that's good eatin

[MiG8189]

varau i zvejuba:)

samu

[Lysol295]

Americas catfish are much bigger than that.

[bobbydj01]

In Soviet Russia, river lives in catfish.

.....

I'll get me coat. 

[babieejesse]

@bobbydj01 i hate the "in soviet russia" jokes, but i had a good giggle with this one

[oktal3700]

@bobbydj01 Chernobyl isn't even in Russia!

[GodlessMartyr666]

@bobbydj01 hah a catfish is a bottom dweller it eats slime and feces from other fish, why anyone would want to eat a catfish I've no clue...

[AdstarAPAD]

@GodlessMartyr666 All it takes is an episode of starvation and people are motivated to try and eat anything they can. The longer the civilization the more famine episodes, that’s why the Chinese eat so many different things. They have experienced famine many times.

[wsimpson86]

@bobbydj01 Chernobyl isn't in Russia it's in Ukraine.

[edudumlr]

@wsimpson86 Noo, it's in your butt

[MrBuzzKillah]

@edudumlr are you retarded? Chernobyl is in ukraine genius <.<

[edudumlr]

@MrBuzzKillah now it's in your butt

[tmixjr68]

is it at all safe to be so close to that place - chernobyl ?

[Grant123CC]

@tmixjr68 it was before that place blew up

[Daclunator]

@tmixjr68 For extended periods of time, it is not but if you're visiting there, the maximum you can stay is about a month before you start to have any damage done to your person.

[tmixjr68]

Its a Wells catfish isn't it . they do grow quite large.

[rainnken2000]

@LordOfNothingham, isn't that a bit dangerous? I would like to see it though.

[IanHunedoara8]

Catfish and large fish called Karash love kukuruza (corn) balls

[rainnken2000]

I thought no one was allowed in there ?

[LordOfNothingham]

@rainnken2000 You just can't stay. They have timed tours through the city but you can't touch anything.

[Andy47357]

cant eat them still for 29000 years

[JackyVSO]

@Andy47357

But in the year 31012, I'm going to enjoy one luscious Chernobyl catfish meal with my whole family.

[addzer2k9]

there cat fish they can easily grow that big

[kpoff5128]

God damn, ima go to chernobyl and noodle them things

[dominickadomka]

those are not mutated!! Its because they can grow old and big..Nobody will fishing in radioactive waters of chernobyl. Well i wouldnt..So they have happy long life without hooks in the water :)

[7Ethernal]

isn´t there a 3 eyed fish like in the Simpsons? xD

[straightcleaner]

Wish I could catch it.

[BobbynubMaster]

i would totally dive off that bridge and tackle that bitch!!!!!

[locojambo]

where we going for a holiday daddy.. disneyland?? no kids.. Chernobyl!!!

[acoow]

Under fishes water contain large fish. It is normal, not mutation.

[Meerkatmatt2]

sorry for double posting but i think that is a wels catfish, native to Russia and they do naturayl grow to that size.

[Meerkatmatt2]

0:49 err, that's a Wobegon i think, they aren't native to Chernobyl area, anyway only the animals and plants with in ten kilometers of the reactor are noticeably affected by the radiation.

[Kastrenzo74]

Adult Koi Pond fish can be as small as a few inches to as big as 1-2 feet, it depends on the size of their habitat

[just1vernon]

lmao vagrantNoName " is there mirelurks down there?"

[JuniorJoost]

@fuzzyrhino5 You can go on vacation to Chernobyl.

[HufflepuffTheGreat]

Б америкие мой атец и я рыбом за катфишу. Балшое катфиш б америке. Извените за Чернобыля :(

[brethrenpaintball]

Wouldn't eat it but sure would mount that sucker

[fuzzyrhino5]

cat fish most lickely, but my only question HOW DID U GET IN CHERNOBYL?!

[nfsmw6]

big cats are not special, 

[marcoze]

god damn they look fucking tasty

[lolrobin]

The big'uns are catfish, definetly. But i'm not so sure with the smaller ones. Possible salmon, although they don't have red fins. It could be ide or chub with the fact that they're taking bits of bread on the surface, since they can be caught using floating bread.

[AdstarAPAD]

"Is there mirelurks down there?" I love it :D VagrantNoName. Maybe in 100 years. How long where they down in vault 101 for?

[HomeyCDawg201]

Those are some a big catfish. The rest look like salmon.

[xFoGxFraction]

thumbs up if u saw chernobyl on strangers in danger

[AdstarAPAD]

They think they are huge only because they never allowed them to live that long back in the days before the reactor blow its lid. They cannot eat them anymore so they are allowed to grow to their full size.

[WermGut]

@AdstarAPAD I agree, nobody fishing the waters and the fish will grow for many, many years as long as they have a food source.

[anonymous6366]

@AdstarAPAD that sounds about right

[ryosvet]

@AdstarAPAD they only live about half there actual life tho

[bodge6886]

They are Wells Catfish and are a lot bigger than that in other places.

[chickenwretch]

is this the fish that saved Pittsburgh?

[telorinodelhoyoo]

i was hoping to see a mutated fish with one eye and 5 heads lol

[pyramonitor]

3 meters is around 10 feet i have heard of 6 foot catfish in iowa floodwater.

that chernobyl cat is MUCH BIGGER !

[brackers86]

Catfish will grow to the size of the water they are in. The bigger the river the bigger they get. Plus if no1 is catching them that helps.

[MrPablopel]

yes tehere is a big fish because there no people mho catch them!

[jodido58]

Just a catfish!!!!

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

@lordstanworth "take your pick" lol

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

MEOW!! 

[animalexpert100]

Actully Their Just Flathead Cats . . .

[JFKASSASIN]

there cat fish if they dont have any natural predetors they can grow to a verry large size

[princezak25]

They use iradiated material in all those dick pills that they sell to make dudes dicks bigger

[ThatKidWithTheVideos]

@princezak25 If you put irradiated material in medicine and somehow got it to get pass all the checks , the only thing that would happen to your dick is getting a tumor and cancer and dieing.

[UnknownEncryption]

looks like a damn shark.



[donnely138]

They're so big because the chief predator, man, is no longer present there. Duh.

[MEATYOKERRable]

Are those mutations from Chernobyl or are they just getting so big because no one is catching them???



[DarklingStar1969]

...just large catfish. Nothing to see here.

[Jecky034]

Yes this is chernobyl, I remember coming here years ago. And I do understand the languge because I speak russian.

[kmbonfirebob]

SHIT GET MY UGLY STICK!!!! I WE GRILLIN TONIGHT!!!

[NorkiddExo]

What the...

[patrickjcollett]

that's is one big ass fish..

[BigDH28]

awesome footage! Thank you very much!

[Chipmunkforever09]

I could just imagine the fish catching you not you catching it!

[RespectMyHate]

I would just jump in.

[duncan7599]

Obviously the Pripyat River is not as polluted as scientists say it is.

[RampantArtist]

it could be that the radiation changed something else in the environment that allowed the catfish to do better, or move into an area they weren't in before.

[mciceteade]

lets go noodling



[Extremehalofan16]

Did the radiation make it like that?

[fredtflail]

Big ass catfish.

[harrison98x]

is it safe there?

[doorknobjoe]

LOL wouldn't drink that water!!

[Draknfyre]

It's a catfish. They might have been exposed to radiation, but their size isn't due to that.

Catfish get big. One fish being bigger than a human is nothing special. They get bigger than this in the US.

[USGiorgi]

@Draknfyre

Show me a 3-4 meter catfish. That's 10-13 feet long.

[Draknfyre]

@USGiorgi

Catfish, when unpressured by humans, can grow big. Stories from divers who have gone down deep have reported catfish large enuf to swallow a man.

These aren't "mutant" catfish. Simply Google "10 foot catfish", and you will find plenty of pictures.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@Draknfyre the humans are long gone from the area as well. one of their main predators was US. a person. wiht all of them pretty much out of the area. they will grow. BIG

[AnLolcat]

@Draknfyre yeah, they do in the usa... one in a river near my town was 4-5 feet long

[tchujdenetza]

@Draknfyre especially when no one is fishing them.

[MrJsnzbrsky]

@Draknfyre Everything big in mother Russia.

[shazzump]

thats some really big catfish,, question is is it really a mutation or just the fact that without humans to help keep the population down the fish are living longer thus getting bigger?

[TheSvenforum]

@shazzump Yes they get that big.. it has nothing to do with radioactive radiation of some kind.. they can get up to 3 meters long.. if they dont have any predators hunting them,,

[winterstellar]

Looked like normal catfish to me.:)

[TheChainsawArtist]

0:48

CATCH IT!!! CATCH THE WHISCASH!!!!

[masterassassin21]

this place used to be deserted, right?

[buttmanroad]

Jump in!!

[XxSERBKINGxX]

@frankie519 yes the water and fish and everything in pripyat and the surrounding areas will be radioactive/totaly inhabitable for the next o lets say 100,000 years

[frankie519]

would the water/fish still be contaminated? Radiation lasts for 25 years yes?

[TrackingTm]

OH MY GOOD 1:00

[VagrantNoName]

Is there mirelurks down there?

[kurlobe]

@VagrantNoName .... Get the shot gun... Remember stay calm crouch and aim for the face.

[Cheese71]

@VagrantNoName Yeah, but they don't chase you, you chase THEM!

[foreverthreepwood]

@VagrantNoName There's probably not too too many people that ll get that comment but,for the people like myself that do, ITS FUCKING AWESOME

[Angryprometheus]

@VagrantNoName theres probably mutated octopus. Fuck i just shit myself, i hate octopus

[MrAlphaTT]

@VagrantNoName i bet if they go closer to the power plant they will find a deathclaw :3

[IloveMIT8923]

This cannot be real, I hear small birds, I do not think small birds can survive any amount of radiation of too long; but other than that, this video just looks fake.

[FallinForInfinity101]

how'd you guys even get in chernobyl?! hasn't it been closed for the past 20 yrs? it's illegal to be in there

[lonegunman69]

@FallinForInfinity101 Actually there are tours you can take of Pripyat and the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Its not illegal, also the radiation levels have decreased to a safer level.

[studsbollis]

@FallinForInfinity101 No it's open as a tourist attraction nowadays, since a year ago. i'm actually going there in two weeks.

[19Lenoch92]

It's regular Catfish

[SharkKid42]

o wow

[EntropicMisanthropic]

The water is contaminated worse than the land because it concentrates in the sediment where the catfish live and eat. You'd be fucking crazy to eat a catfish from anyplace near Chernobyl, they're probably the most contaminated species around.

[WhiteLavender425]

Yea its a specie of catfish that can grow almost twice that size

[en1841]

looks like a catfish.  Its normal

[Mikuruification]

Fuck the fishes, What about the mutated Killers running around setting Traps, And Eating people

[rkb12222]

lol that water looks cleaner than floridas
