Wade sounded like an excited little kid when he touched it. Such a wholesome guy. River Monsters will always be my favourite show. It made me want to be a marine biologist and it still kinda does
go for it
River monsters is my point of reference when im doing creature design (i am an artist)
@Andres Hernandez I agree
I’m sure you will become one
How old are you?
Become whatever you desire - hard work, dedication, commitment and discipline is what you need to achieve anything you want. Good luck! !
guy: terrified
cameraman: ...
I thought they use underwater drones
They are probably professionals
“Guy” XD

@Ryan 24 they probably use a go pro
Hug0Pro no no no, they use some big fucking cameras if it was a gopro you would see it
All alone in the clear dark water, that's way creepier than seeing fishes around you.
No dude he is not all alone his camera crew is with him
think of all the kind of fish that sees you while you cant
damn. what the fuck the cameraman feels atm?
These people got no natural instinct whatsoever... there isnt a thing in this universe that could get me willingly into that water. Literally almost everything in that ecosystem is designed to kill. Like if a shark happened to pass by and was hungry dafuq they going do. Cant see it but it sees you
@@aaroningram5808 i dont know if you know the animal biology or system but if a shark swam past you 85-90% it wouldnt attack you because it had no mean to, sharks are actually very passive marine animals, sharks only actually attack you if threatened or a sense of body change as they can sensor vibrations of youre body due to panic state
The Oarfish found a strange slow moving creature and called over his buddy to verify this monster from above near the surface light.
"look at this bro, it's so weird"
"yep, that thing touched me earlier. Such a very weird creature"
Alexis Munsayac 😆 exactly!
"Why is it by the chain, is it feeding?"
Alexis Munsayac I really want to believe these fishes talk like joe rogan
🤣
Now he has bragging rights that no one else will ever have: he touched it
He touched the butt
I looked at the comments solely to reassure myself that one brave soul had indeed already commented he touched the but. 🙏 doing gods work truly
@@traviselder5985 my thoughts exactly :D
@@traviselder5985 haha 😂
Him seeing the fish in real life itself is worth bragging since that fish is rarely seen and he bragged that more people have seen earth from space than have seen that fish in rl in it's natural habitat.
“Idk if I’m going to get back in”
Now I’m getting in , in the dark 🤨🤨
R.O.T.C SEEM truuuu probably a “pussy won’t”
Because he said i don't know. Jesus
Someone "double-dog dared" him!
Mclovinwilliams does anyone actually fall for that? That’s the real mystery not the sea monster legend.
It might be of safety reasons, him actually getting some rest in between dives can be important 😅
the real MVPS are the cameramen
So true ☄️
😂😂😂
TH-cam User they use machines idiot
Tshering Tamang you’re not sounding too smart yourself, bud
Tshering Tamang lol I didn’t think of that but it makes sense
the fish be like “CARLL DO YOU WANNA BE ON TV” “YO DUDE WE BOUT TO BE FAMOUS”
This is the most 2011 joke I've ever heard
Naw if it was carl dude would be dead already
Carllllllll
I'm asian, what's happening?
@@prettyprettypegasus8965 go back to tik tok
"I might even touch it"
*TOUCHES IT*
"I ACTUALLY TOUCHED IT"
It takes a truly brave individual to admit your fear, accept your limits, but also know when to push yourself. Good on ya Mr. Wade.
@hahagotcha!!!! well I've watched most of his different series and I'd have to agree that they throw a whole lot of ridiculous concerns and fake fear to try and make the shows seem more exciting than they really are. This is just the first time he has seemed genuinely shaken, and admits openly to be fearful, as opposed to simply stating that it was a dangerous situation or that people have died attempting it.
@hahagotcha!!!! The whole premise of the show is him investigating people's stories of encounters that they had...and so by going there and trying to recreate those encounters even with a camera crew and safety divers...he is trying to show us how terrifying it would actually be if you were alone in those depths and saw these creatures what would be going through your head.
@hahagotcha!!!! Yeah then let's see you do what he did then with absolutely no problem buddy
@hahagotcha!!!! OK boomer
I’m only afraid of demon
I mean you can just feel that he loves his job.
Why not hes getting paid for being a dramatic person
Beka Machurishvili I doubt you dive lmao so stfu
Beka Machurishvili he’s a millionaire he does this for pocket change
I would be a diver for free
d d What...? I haven’t kept up with what he’s been doing these years but his original show was called “River Monsters”, where he would catch fish or other creatures known to have killed people. The fish we’re indeed dangerous but he would never demonize them. Ex.: He went into a jacuzzi full of piranhas and jumped into a river full of them as well to show that they really aren’t as bloodthirsty as society thinks. He’s an experienced fisherman who has a lot of respect for the creatures he catches. I don’t see where he portrays the fish as a monster in this video. What he’s nervous about is the diving not fish (He even touches the fish). Not everyone is a pro diver like you bud. He’s generated a lot of awareness of the amazing creatures we have on this planet. I don’t understand how you could misinterpret what he says and does in his videos that bad
ive been watching jeremy since i was little and i never got bored
He an amazing man and done so many things . He really is one hell of a man
@@JPsPetNation seriously
I remember being 6-7 years old, and I had a picture book of all the different types of deep sea animals. I was always so intrigued by the oarfish, as at that time none had been recorded alive, and their comparisons to fantastical sea serpents piqued my interests even more. To see this about 15 years later is amazing! I would’ve been in awe as a child.
Same my friend
I think we had the same book
I am in awe now!
Same dude!
Me, too! It was comparing the fishes and their sizes haha.
"this would be bad to lose my point of refrence"
*contantly lets go of the chain...*
well he did say that visibility is about 30 feet so letting go for a couple of feet isn't bad.
As long as he can still see it.
@@randomkitty2555 yeah and a minute later he's saying that it's hard to see the chain.
Yeah screw that. Im clinging with my arms and legs to that chain.
FunkyPlayz Constantly climbing up and down a metal chain deep under water in clunky equipment is harder than you might think.
I’ve done the same dive before. You can hurt your arm/shoulder really bad if you hold on to the chain constantly, because the boat moves and bounces in the water yanking you with it.
The Oarfish is in fact filming a TV series on the elusive Jeremy Wade. Never before seen in these waters, a once in a lifetime encounter.
My brother used to call this man “The immortal fish guy”
Well I mean he picked a box jellyfish up with his bare hands, so he is basically immortal.
Well tbf cayote Peterson got bit by a piranha and Jeremy swam with them, Steve Irwin died to a sting Rey and Jeremy lost just a part of his arm to one
As someone who frequents the ocean, it’s Kinda funny how diving in the ocean makes Jeremy antsy in the same way I get nervous at the thought of swimming in those murky freshwater rivers Jeremy is right at home in
Exactly how I feel. Born and raised in the middle of the Pacific ocean so I grew up in clear salt water. I freak out when I'm in a river
Oarfish: Oh, an unusual visitor. Let's take a took honey
look*
I remember I made a comment on Jeremy's website many many years ago, I asked if he'd ever cover the Oarfish because I love them so much and there's hardly ever any caught on film that are alive and well. Now here he is swimming with them and I'm so damn happy. Thankyou Jeremy, for covering these amazing creatures.
oarfish are amazing
I have phobia of deep waters this makes me really uncomfortable, I can even imagine a huge monster with its teeth showing and mouth open
Joao Tattoo "monster" ahhh you need to get out more
FreeRider tis why its called a phobia, aka an irrational fear. A lot of people are scared of somewhere they can only see 10 feet in front of them in an alien like environment. Plenty of things can kill you down there so the mind sometimes gets flooded with thoughts.
@@freerider8737 the term monster is used as a point of reference in this comment. But even without this context, you can classify anything that can cause great fear or harm as a monster weather rationally or not.
Case and point Hitler he may have been human but you can find billions who think of him as a monster and I am making an assumption that you would as well.
The term for that is thalassophobia, don’t look up pictures of it
I feel like I could dive up to maybe 20-30 feet but the deep ocean looks really scary, theres no way you could get me to dive there. Sharks are kind of scary but I would be afraid a giant squid or some unknown thing would try to eat me.
This guy deserves to be one of the rare few to witness this. Amazing
Fact: Oarfish are called "Messenger of the Sea God's Palace" (ryugu no tsukai) in Japan because whenever an Oarfish washed ashore soon an Earthquake will follow.
And followed by a tsunami.
Actually young oarfish will beach themselves if they're dying, so that's a thing. Also even with the help of people nearby it cannot help itself to get back down to deep sea level, so if you see a beached Oarfish technically you're looking at dead fish in the making, so screw everything go for it take it home with you, its gonna die anyway.
@@oliviab.9194 i would rather just release it and let it die in the ocean where it belongs. It would be a death in vein to bring it and put it in your freezer. The oarfish is too magnificent and elusive to be anywhere except the ocean
@@dietmilk2676 I See What Ya Mean
@@oliviab.9194 yes the air sacks come right up there neck and sometimes out there mouths. Only way you can do it is put a needle into the sack and draw the air out. It doesn't always work. So you are best to eat it.
He sounds so defeated at the beginning and then as soon as the fish appear and he touches it he sounds like a little kid being all excited,,, very wholesome
I might even touch it
I actually touched it
😲😲😮
He touched the butt
My guy was fangirling over the fish. Legend
I close my eyes, He sounds like a Chill Gordon Ramsay
What's that?
@@amenabushra6541 a famous cook
The only crew of people with a show looking for mysterious creatures that consistently delivered
xfiles?
They delivered so well in fact, that there was nothing more to find. Absolute legends! ^^
Does he have a documentary cause if he doesn’t he should because I grew up watching this man catch and do unimaginable thing
Do you English?
Slappy why does it matter at least he trying
It’s called river monsters
MandoMarine I’m talking about a full in depth one not just the fish and shit he catches
@@slappy8941 each country english language speaking is pretty different. Like malaysia bud. We have chinese,malay,indian. 3 cultures. It means our english spoken language is a bit different. But i doubt ppl can understand us
Man has balls, i could never Dive at Night
imagine going in a place for coffee and some guy just starts educating you about toothpaste
Hate that ad
But he's right. Coffee does stain teeth. But Colgate optic white has hydrogen peroxide that goes deep below the tooth enamel for a shade that's 4x visibly whiter
@@zombiefreaktank ok come onn xD
“more people have seen earth from space than seen one of these this close” gives me chills every time
Wade "The stress on my body is enormous, I'm not sure if I can go back in."
Cameraman "Am I a joke to you?"
It's idiots like you who kill memes.
Camera man might not be 6O+ yearsold
Remember that the camera man cannot die
I love that u are humble enough to admit your limits
"Why are they here?"
"Are they here for breeding?"
_proceeds to take off pants_
The Voiceless Mind ok what the fuck
lmao
Its a privilege to be fucked by those rare creatures
The timeless day Minis a d for me to come to the without
ya if y’all don’t
“Now, my only remaining chance to see this fish is to dive at night”
Me: No No NO NO NO NO NO NO
Yes yes yes yes
DONT DIVE AT NIGHT.
Ancient fisherman: catches giant squid, 15 foot man eating sharks, 60foot sperm whales, giant octopuses, floats in middle of Pacific Ocean without radios and GPS
Oarfish: rub my belly, I'm the monster fisherman are scared of
@Andrew Coles I forgot about this video and that I wrote that. Thanks man, for leaving a comment because re-reading my comment and remembering this ridiculous video made me laugh really hard again!
@@NotOfThisWorld567 it’s a rare sight though to see one in person
Damn. That dark, spacious and empty waters would definitely make me anxious quickly if I was there. Deep Ocean is too damn scary for me, it was even hard for me to watch this lol
Excellent, I love what you do Jeremy Wade! I’m disabled and it’s such a wonderful experience to be able to suspend reality for a little while and share in your adventures. I have to also give credit to your incredible camera and support crew. Together, you all are educating the forever-curious, like me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Well done!!!
One of my favoriete episodes. The fear of the deep, dark world below you and as a reward to see such beautiful species ❤
Thank you Jeremy and your crew for sharing, stay safe.
"Are they feeding, are they breeding?" No, they're Jeremying
He asked "why they are here?"
Me: they're definitely checking the light
I actually saw one back in about 1967- 68 when I was a kid, washed up on a beach back home in New Zealand. One of the other people there standing round it knew what it was and said it was an Orr fish. I've never forgotten that name.
This is easily one of the coolest things EVER. I have always thought that magical creatures were for books and movies, yet we have them all around our planet. This makes me want to go on an adventure of my own!
With the level of dedication which someone like Jeremy has, I wasn't even slightly surprised at the eventual finding. 01:48 would be enough to make someone like me die with anxiety, but man, Jeremy really decided to do it again, and that too, at night time! This is just plain awesome!
Everyone says he is brave...
Cameraman: *hold my squid*
The underwater camera drone pilot on the boat?
@@robertkubrick3738 watch the full documentary.
It's idiots like you who kill memes.
@@slappy8941 you must be fun at parties
Totally phenomenal performance of this episode my friend Jeremy love you peace and prayers to you fish on
"I'm actually touching it!"
*when you finally get to 2nd base*
“I’ve really pushed my limits here, it’s easy to get disoriented and I’m feeling very tired. I’m not even sure if I can make another dive .”
“Alright it’s nighttime lets get back down there”
The Oarfish is so beautiful, it's like out of Science fiction! I love it! 🙂😃🙂😃🙂🙃🙂🤗
Oarfish: "OMG am I on River Monsters?! Hey Joe, I'm on River Monsters!"
Oarfish Joe: "Keep em there, I'm a comin too!"
“We found a long fish, this IS the origin of sea monsters!”
*me being skeptical *
I mean, oarfish can reach up to 56 feet in length, they're known for being incredibly large fish, so it could be a possibility? Who knows.
They're claiming it's the origin of the "monstrous sea *SERPENTS".* That's a pretty big distinction you're ignoring.
They can grow to at least 55 feet, sounds like a sea serpent to me.
Also they didn't say they were the origin of all sea monsters.
Wow. This team is just amazing. I'm so happy for them to be able to see it with their own eyes and touch it. Thank you for filming this and sharing. Such a beautiful beautiful creature.
The serpents were more confused than him
they were like wtf
Remarkable! Thank you for
sharing this with the world!
Jeremy always has the best fish stories and he has video to back them up.
Jeremy really loves what he does. He’s so informative!!
His reaction when he touched it. So excited lol
Ive seen this clip like months ago, now im seeing it again getting re-uploaded, either way, oar fish getting captured on film is such a breakthrough
It's awesome to see some with a pure heart. and the respect he has for this world and the creatures that inhabit it is crazy. Jeremy Wade is a legend.
His reaction was so genuine! You've felt that feeling too so you just know.
6:37
Me: Why am I hearing boss music
you're giving me flashbacks about that ape boss fight in sekiro
Alexander Moosmann right? I need to know this sound!
@@ItsMrStark33 to
This is an awesome piece of music for nastolgic moments 6:36
I wonder if Jeremy has ever seen the movie “From Beyond”? 6:24 The movie deals with a machine that can summon organisms from another dimension and one of the creatures undulates through the air just like an Oarfish.
This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen on the show river monsters.. I’ve watched almost every episode..
This was just unbelivable!
I am just lack of any word that can describe this, i understand even Jeremy was blown away by this moment.
i caught an oarfish once... in animal crossing 🥴
GIMME. I TRADE YOU MY COELACANTH.
They get bragging rights "ya man, we meet Jeremy Wade"
These really are truly amazing fish..One of my favorites for sure.I can only imagine all the creatures down there we no nothing about..
This is one of the most amazing and beautiful things I've ever seen, Jeremy must have been blown away.
Just imagine him saying "Wow! I've found the true origin of the sea serpent!" only to have a pair of giant glowing eyes and teeth behind him...
How old is he omg I’ve been watching him since I was a baby basically he looks the same throught everything
In his mid 60s
@@Maunomanly he's the immortal fish guy
Jeremy Wade threw social distancing completely out the window when he saw that elusive animal! 😂
XD FAX
He really plays up the drama. Not a criticism. He's an entertainer, and does a great job of it. We have to remember that he is doing something that most of his audience will ever do. If he made it sound boring, the audience would feel bored. As an traveler to "high risk" locales, where I had to write narrative reports of my assignments, I admire his work.
Just go to the Philippines and wait for an earthquake to happen then just wait for a news about oarfishes coming ashore though they might be already dead haha
Truee😂
Oarfishes got feets?!
@@jedironin380 they get carried away by waves cause by the earthquake on seabed, from the deeps to the shores.
If they really used the chain as a reference for up, thats really interesting. Since they don’t have swim bladders they probably have a not so great sense of verticality, maybe they look for other oarfish above them and assume they are going up and have found a food source. That would explain them coming up and chilling by the chain and also give an evolutionary reason for how fucking long these bois are
Exciting to see close up. A magical creature that lives in the sea. Great video, thanks Jeremy!
You can just hear his excitement especially when he touched the fish. So sweet
These oarfish knows when a hurricane will arrive if you see it swimming around above deep sea level..
.. Has that been proven?
Actually young oarfish will beach themselves if they're dying.
@@musicmeister2797 it might have some merit but i think its mostly just a myth
That damn thing looks like it's made of metal nature is amazing
Jermey wade an absolute legend river monster’s and now this 💯 I consider myself quite the angler but this dudes on another level
It's so shiny it looks like a samurai sword!!!! Absolutely unreal and beautiful looking fish!!
I find it truly fascinating to see a legend become a reality it’s all so inspiring. I mean no one believe a giant Squid before but it became a real phenomenon caught on camera yet now a serpent wow that’s so amazing. What’s next?
They're just curious! Wondering why a lil british man is in the middle of the ocean! lol
What an amazing creature!!!
There’s no way on earth I’d go in the ocean let alone... like that!
It’s a blessing certain people put themselves in this situation so others like myself can see these wonderful beautiful creatures!
It's already incredible and then there's 2...holy moly..amazing view
“I think more people have seen the Earth from space than have seen one of these this close”. Me plays Animal Crossing New Horizons be like
Have you caught one if so give me it I'll give you my Coelacanth
6:15 something got a chunk out of that fish.
This is my one and only dream,some people may call him crazy but this is truly so beautiful i can hardly believe it
So amazing! I love his show. It freaked me out but I'm more aware of what's in the water. I'm amazed at his fearlessness ..
The first one looks like something took a bit of a bite into it
Maybe......
....the baby oarfish came to see if the funny thing holding on to the chain looked edible for 200’ long mommy 😎
More like 200 year old mommy. Deep sea creatures live for a looong time.
gaurav shinde maybe both 👀😁
Actually bang on. I could NOT believe the size of the adults. Could easily eat a human.
Mommys little scout :')
Hotel Oarfish get as big as 30 feet and they can’t eat humans. This one was small. He lied when he said two and a half times his length. I think it was 6 feet. It’s not even a sea serpents at all. It’s just a cool fish.
I love watching River Monster ever since when I was 12, now that I'm 18 I still love watching River Monsters.
You know its impressive when he's in disbelief I know nothing about fish but I love these vids
I literally grew up watching River Monsters with Jeremy Wade.
Diving in the ocean like that looks really scary to be, I would be afraid I'll become fish food to something big.
The bioluminescence on that oarfish is unbelievable. Beautiful patterns
Wow this is absolutely amazing. It’s so cool how much ease those oarfish brought him.
He's a legend
I'm here 8 mins after this video being uploaded .
😎😎
Thanks Jeremy what a fun day on the show
Nice footage!
Thats insane! First time i see a human next to them in their natural enviroment.
Marvelous.
Is it just me or his voice sounds kinda like gordon ramsay
he does lol
