Catfish seen while SCUBA diving in Millerton Lake, December 28, 2018.
I finally spotted a large catfish while diving. Although I see lots of bass and sunfish, it is quite rare to see catfish while diving in central California lakes. I suspect they are seen rarely because they may sense us coming and swim away before we can see them. I have seem large silt clouds on many occasions, but I typically I do not see the fish that caused them. In deeper water they may hide in the the deep silt...not sure.

First Night with Alcor EUDA All-Sky Camera 6/25/17-6/26/17
มุมมอง 1567 ปีที่แล้ว
Here is a video of the first night with our new Alcor EUDA high resolution all-sky camera. It has a cooled CCD with a filter wheel and focuser, all in a weatherproof housing. At the beginning of the video we are tweaking the software and focusing, but it becomes quite nice during the second half of the night. Before morning, you even can see Andromeda rise.

I live in Sanger ca thinking about diving Millerton next weekend do you have any tips where to dive from shore
Have you seen any of the old structures under millerton?
Well there are territorial fish in there the size of cars!
Thats pretty scary lol
Wouldn't the CO2 be liquid or supercritical at 1500 PSI?
RIP
What part where u diving it looks good ground to fish for bass
That california flag was the 6 pounder that was snaging people line 😆 🤣 😂
Great vid brother......I enjoy your dive stuff.....I live right near Millerton and I’m there all the time 😎
RIP .....
We are sooo sad for this news of Mel
RIP Mel 🙏
Is this the guy who past away a few months ago
Dr. Helm saved my life, one month later he was gone. I wish I could thank him what he did for me! RIP to a great ❤
Getting the word out that Melvin went out on a solo dive Friday Christmas eve and did not return, his body was recovered today. I have worked at millerton lake for 17 years and spoke with Melvin many times and he was always a cool guy to talk to. Rest easy Mel.
Does anyone know what went wrong during his dive?
@@meaghanmckeehan6314 They thought it may have been a medical emergency or possible equipment failure.
@@chingvang9320maybe he seen it and it was alr too late..
That fish is pushing 15 lbs 😋

I’m diving Millerton alone this weekend. First solo dive for me 😬
Can you please go do a dive in pine flat lake? I'm so curious what it looks like down there. You're a brave man.
this is high on my bucket list
I want to see that town down there
spotted bass btw*
Big Joe and Whiskerrsssss
hats off to you for going into the deep dark depth alone like that
I heard there's a old town down there
That’s pine flat
@@jacobcrain4009 There is a town in Millerton Lake. I didn’t know there was a town in pine flat.
@@jacobcrain4009 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerton,_Madera_County,_California
hi
Super cool stuff these are very rare
Do you think there is any possibility of giant catfish down there more toward the deeper area?
100 percent
DoYou still scuba dive n are u local
Great video, thanks for posting it. If anyone would like more information on a unit like this visit @t
Do some at pine flat lake
The clarity of that pool makes my pool at home look like a silt filled mud pit.
Heard alots of story about the giant catfish name big Joe in millerton lake
DNF Pro I seen a video of someone in millerton lake recording with some drone over the waters, 4 years ago it showed a big figure swimming in the water, to big to be a fish once it got close the figure went deeper in the water and took off
@@Trehunnid559 any chance you remember the name of the video?
Go diving near the dam and see if that large catfish really does exist and post the video!
Lol do not do that. I heard there was a huge catfish since 1920. They probably have a family of 500 pound plus catfish, just roaming Miller town
I’ve heard about that story also I heard the divers thought they were at the bottom of the lake but we’re on a huge hat fish
Need more of these stories
Not striped bass but still a very cool vid to see how it's like down there. Only wish it was longer. Looked clear and empty for the most part.
What gases did you have in your tanks for that depth?
Hi 👋
First
MOD violation on air?
REC mode with MOD set to 130
FO2 of .32 and ppO2 of 1.6? Either way, unless they were using nitrox they didn't exceed their MOD. If they used 32% then they were riding the line and with 36% they definitely exceeded them...
@@Anonymous-xd7bt you can clearly see the computer is on air mode, and it has a MOD violation text for 130ft.
@@Teampegleg Sure, but that depends to what they set their computers... There is always some safety margin for exactly these situations, and I assume that they did not violate their MOD anymore while standing as they were only 4ft beyond it. Again I do not think it’s good behavior but it was not immediately dangerous. Edit: Ah I didn’t even see that is as set to air... in that case they had absolutely no issue. Even with a ppo2 of 1.2 that allows for an MOD of 156 feet.
👍
Id love to learn to scuba dive, they things that trip me out though is the color of water, i feel like it would make me so off balance and get so dizzy
you ever see a sturgeon in there? i've heard rumors of them being in there
It seems a giant nuclear reactor pool.
My ears hurt just watching this.
4Chaneer mine too
I don’t need a diving suit because I’m a merpony
Sunny Meadows this is vary cringe
that' cause the water temp is kept in the high 90's
