- Wow. This was a creepfest and a half. Never before in my life have I seen so many huge, disgusting and utterly repulsive creatures swirling in the lake waters late at night. I think if I had taken a swim there, I would have been a goner or at least had a heart attack once I got out. Yet... they are beautiful creatures in their own way.

I think I found my new pick-up line.
Lmao
That brings to mind the movie Stand By Me. 😆 holy crap.
Gordys got a leach on his .....
I just watched that movie lol
Wow it's like a Bar Association convention!
In Minnesota we use a coffee can with holes filled with bait. You can get a ton of jumbo leeches for fishing. I've seen them get up to 6 or 7 inches long. There harmless. That was cool watching them swim.
This is Kepvalley Wife. My grandfather used to go into those type of lakes around Magnetawan and come out covered in them. They would then roll them off and go fishing with them. As a kid I used to catch them at the cottage and play with them.
You guys are so chicken!! Lol
I've never laughed so hard in my life at two grown men! Bahahahaaaaa

Chigger: hold your breath!
Chigger: I’m not going in there.
Me: mind = blown.
That ends my midnight lake swims...👍✌🤘
MeMiner makes grizzly adams look like a wimp.........All hail MeMiner !!!!!
Digging Canuck Metal Detecting and grizzly Adams had a beard....
@@HOLY_FRIJOLES And a fine beard it was :)
They giggled like little girls....LOL! 😆. I love it!
That bug on the turkey leg is actually a dragonfly nymph. They can live in the water for 1-4 years. When we usually don't see them to much in that form. We see them when they take flight to mate, which is nearing the end of their life cycle.
Interesting !
Leeches and tadpoles and fishes, oh my!
Beautiful Ontario!!
Just thought I'd let you all know, we have the most polluted lakes in Northern Ontario here. (As in 4000x the amount of arsenic acceptable by the Canadian government as "safe") This lake (Brady lake) is no exception. There are 3 mines around it in a triangle, tailings dumped into it by all 3.. where they were camping is 100' from a shaft and on waste rock that continues into the lake. Across at the end of the video is another mine. There are no fish in there, just leaches, frogs, minnows and whatever insects. Oh and birds.. but they just come to eat.
One of the unfortunate legacies of past mining activity. BTW leeches are very hardy and tolerant of pollution.
I've had heaps of leaches on me over the years, but having a leach attach it's self to my eye ball when working in New Guinea was the highlight.
I've had plenty of leeches attached to me when I was young, but nothing like those. Wow. That was fascinating to watch and the view of the lake was beautiful. Thanks, Beau.
They're looking at you & saying... Buffet !!
Ok how many people just got the heebee geebees! LMAO! I dare ya, I double dare ya!! There goes that wooley swamp song playing in my head!
If you take a picture with the flash on, every single little fish will jump at the exact same time. It's crazy and cool at the same time!
THAT was the first one of all your videos that I couldNOT watch. I hope I don't have nightmares. I agree, I cannot unsee what little I did see. YIKES!!!!!!!
Great bait for walleye, loved the loon at the end. Reminded me of being back in northern Minnesota and the BWCAW.
Brought back memories of a beautiful clear lake near Chapleau ON. Sandy bottom and huge leeches like those. Biggest ones I ever saw. Fortunately they stayed on the bottom!
Oh man, that brings back a memory. My wife and I were in a canoe at a lake by Chapleau and we could see little wakes in the calm water. We thought it might be snakes or fish or something, but it was leeches. They were so disgusting. My wife never swam again in that lake.
I've seen the human form grouped up like that many, many times.
There so graceful the way they swim but sod having one on me
You can't even feel a leach when they're biting you. I was detecting in a river and had one on my back and a lady screamed because I had blood streaming down. Found a gold ring though.
My old man spent WWII, fighting his was through the Burmese jungle as part of the "Forgotten 14th Army." The one thing he hated the most was the leeches. He said they could get through the laceholes in your boots, his socks were always sodden with sweat and blood, at the end of the day his mates and himself would burn off those leeches attatched to their bodies with a lit cigarette. Gruesome in a fascinating way aren't they!!!!! 🤢
It's the leech apocalypse... it's the thing of nightmares!!
We took a trip up to Canada, the Cabonga Reservoir system, back in the 70's to fish. We saw the very same creatures in abundance. Ewwwww!! Go for it, Chig!
Loved the scene at the very end .. sounded just beautiful, wish i was there experiencing it.
I NEVER SWIM AGAIN.... Loved it!
Chigg you should have told that leech to “hold your breath” when it came outta the water!!!😂 That for the cool footage👍
Oh man! You guys kill me. 😄 LOL!
I wish we still had leeches in Lake Simcoe. They are really hard to find now. It sucks because they are awesome bait for fish. I used to “pick leeches” on shorelines before going our for the day fishing. If I was where you guys were, I would be setting out a leech trap before going fishing. That is an awesome place for them.
But ya....I would not go for midnight skinny dip there or anything like that 😆
I loved the loon call at the end 😁
Great stuff! Those leeches were huge....Probably the Canadian climate. I was laughing my head off at you guys antics. LoL!!👍🏼😂😂
Reminds me of the Mekong delta where I spent most of my 18th year
@Brandon Earls class of 69 199th light infantry
@Brandon Earls thank you,we've got a two minute video that has a look of what the delta was like back then
Love night chigg videos :)
Wow, those things could eat a human for sure
Hey Chigg them leaches are great walleye bait and smallmouth bass to.
he smells your blood chig!!!! lol
That is a monster flashlight!
That “bug” is a hellgrammite a dragon fly larva
Yup, Id've noped the feck outta there with all the quickness
Cool adventure dam that’s a lot of leeches
Wow, very cool video. Thank you for sharing.
Well that was creepy & gross! Made my skin crawl! Lol!
3:47 that bug is a dragonfly nymph if im not mistaken. They can get really big and hunt fish!
Oh wow, I had no idea 😳
WOW!!! Cray cray!
I had no clue they got so big
What a lake !!!! Sometime will you play the whole aqua chigger song. I love that song.
Saw something like these a while back, was either a small eel or a leech, it managed to get inside a trouts gill, was quite visible, could see hanging out , the trout was on the surface splashing about trying to shake it loose
Never thought leeches would be that far north!
I didn't either 😵
There's almost as many as there are mosquitos lol
Much farther than that!
Chug...this creepy leechy lake ranks right in there with your black lighted scorpions in the desert at night!
😱😱😱
WOW! 😀
That's what I love about living in north, I have big beaver pond on my property and my daughter goes out and 1/4 fills a 5gl bucket of them lovely blood suckers, leeches. We take them fishing not all of them come back.
Love the night action video. Say hi to Meminer for me lol
Hey man good video thank you for it
Leach Ness Monsters....... dang I had no idea those disgusting creatures got so big. Ours are like 2-3 inch long.
so COOL. leeches freak me out, but I do find them interesting from a scientific point of view. Very cool creatures
Hahaha you two are awesome! Like two boys out camping. GREAT video!
I agree completely!!! 😄😄😄
Chig, have you done a vid of your yard and your collection of found goodies? Have ya? Have ya? ??? Lol..if not you really should!
Good lord, those are some insanely huge leaches
Been fishing in a secluded lake in Canada. Decided to sit on the dock, legs dangling in water to wash up. Several leeches attached to my legs. Ugh. Great fishing bait, though. Just put a piece of calves liver in a gunny sack, tie a rope to it, and toss it out overnight. Lots of bait!
That made my skin crawl
You know they say growing old is unstoppable, but growing up is optional. ... Keep up the good work and seek fun where it is....Wink.
wow amazing.
That's some good fish bait right there. 50¢ a piece.
Wow... that was way cool..... I hate those things down here
oh your literally giving me flashbacks. back in the day was invited to do some late night wading with a friend in a small local stream (with no mention of leaches mind you). waded for a couple hours enjoying the cold on a hot evening. left and went to a dennys to go eat for an hour and a half. got home looked down at my white sneakers and exclaimed "why the hell is my sneaker pink?!?!?!?" took it off and there was a big, fat, engorged leach on the side of my toe. kind freaked out and flipped my foot away from me, and it was so engorged it just let go!!!! stomped on it leaving a bit blood spot on the carpet with my other foot. had my friend check my back where i couldnt see or reach for more, then ran into the bathroom and checked "other regions" post haste, luckily finding no more. then proceeded to take 3 long hot showers. the little bastard had pumped so many anticoagulant into my toe it bleed for about 25 more minutes. still makes me twitch today to even think about it. uuuugggggghhhhhh!!!!
I went catching frogs when I was young, then after the adventure I went to macdonalds was eating a burger n felt something between my toes, my feet were already wet but when I took my shoes off my feet were soaked in blood and there was 30 or so baby leeches in my shoes...I wore the stupid looking gum rubbers after that lol...
No skinny dipping in that lake lol
What a super strange lake...creepy-
Wow they are huge
They are part of a healthy ecosystem. Cool video!
Leeches are right up there with snakes.
Me-Miner respectfully put the disgusting leech back in the lake. Chigg has the same behavior. We’ve seen him rescue many critters. These two are real men. Fellas stay awesome.
Used to get them on us at the creek. Mom made us strip down before we could go in if we went to the creek.
They never let go of me when I got out.
That is a very healthy lake
Bait! I've used leeches often in the Northwoods for smallmouth and walleye.
Gotta put the hook in quick or they get slimy...
Wow....
So, how do leaches navigate? By smell like chigg was saying? That morning shot at the end was beautiful. Wanted to be there too. Great video Chigg!
@@BluntofHwicce oh okay, neat. So they're pretty much a shark, haha.
I have never seen so many leeches at a time! I'd hate to fall in that lake ;-(
This gave me the heebee jeebees
PS: I hope you won't let Daisy in there with all those pesky leeches! 🤞🐾👍😎🙀
You can sell those for 5 or 6 dollars a dozen
Timestamp 438 the music is sunrise sounds like a chop them up movie sound effect grit Channel chick thank you for taking me along another adventure
Thanks for sharing, it was creepy and amazing.
First love your videos Thayer awesome hope to meet yhu onday your a huge inspiration
Lots of good bait there, leeches.
They say if there are leaches in a lake that it is a sign the water is fairly clean.
eww now that is so gross! Cold chills from that!
I think this is frog kingdom
Holy Cow Chigg, I am so glad I didn't watch this before I went to bed, I would have had nightmares of those hideous things. That lake reminds me of one we had near our house as a kid. It too was deceptively beautiful, but full of leeches. It reminds me of a thing a neighbor kid of ours said when we told him to beware of the leeches in the lake. He said, "I don't mind leeches, it's those bloodsuckers I can't stand." When we heard him say it we cracked up laughing. Apparently he didn't know the name leech and had only heard them called bloodsuckers. Thanks Chigg for bringing back childhood memories, albeit creepy ones, I hadn't thought of in years. ha ha ha You never cease to amaze me at the things you see and share. Have a great day!
Oh man......😳👀👀
Well, that't a NOPE!
wow it was a leach bed
They're coming for fresh blood. Lol. 😄😄
The breeding pond of lawyers.
I'll never forget coming out of a lake in Canada in 1976 and having leeches covering my legs. I thought I would die! Had to have a friend burn them off me!! EEEKK!!
Thats whatbmy nightmares are made of..
this video makes me itchy
YIKES
Crikey! They are humungus..no skinny dipping in that lake! 😀
Katherine Doughty if you went skinny dipping at liest you could see where they are attached!!! lol
Ah ha ha! That's for bloody sure.😁
We like Beau & MeMiner - but NOT leeches - stomach-churning, but such a pretty spot... Stay safe & have FUN!
Hold your breath. I haven’t heard that in a while.
