How Large Must A Fish Be To Drag Jeremy Underwater | River Monsters

Jeremy attaches some weights and rocks to himself whilst swimming to try and measure how much force is needed to pull a human being underwater.

At the end, Jeremy says, "And that's why you don't see many people swimming." After he spent at least 20 minutes in that same water lol. Crazy guy

[@owlwoman911]

I’m so glad that THIS was the format. I half expected to see Jeremy dragged down the Mekong River by some monster mama… I miss your show very much, Jeremy… Glad you’re back around..

[@tisme2888]

Haha same 😂

[@Haxior5506]

Same man 😂

Its surprising how 4lbs can feel like 100. Youd think it be lighter but ppl and animals have lungs which helps us float. But when you got something yanking on you it makes it hard as hell.

[@user-zw5jj2uf1p]

I guess it has to do with density. We're only able to float because we have approximately the density as the water. Bigger people would still be able to float because weight increases more or less proportionally to volume. Those weights are much more dense than a human body.
This also makes me think that fish might not find it as easy to pull you down as he suggests they do, because fish's body's density is also close to water's. But if the fish is used to going deep and can quickly increase its density by expelling air, then you're in trouble.

I don't care that there are not that many view, THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE VIEWS I LOVE THIS GUY

[@clivenoronha9549]

Fishes watching right now just taking notes....

[@smythharris2635]

I'm on the banks of the Duero in Spain. No swimming for me, some big fish in there.😅

[@IfearGod.]

Heard of some huge catfish dragging people under

[@Bassassinator]

25# of dead weight is not quite the same as 25# of neutrally buoyant fish. A fish would need to be able to exert 25# of FORCE, which would likely be a fish of at least 50-75#. Most of that is pushing power, though. Very few fish have the ability to “pull” i.e. they have a good forward but no reverse.

[@GatDaddy27]

What if the fish is strapped to your leg and not going backward but forward? And how much weight can a fish push?

[@ArturoLedezma-jv3jo]

That is rather unnerving because we have stripers and catfish reportedly in that range.

[@HotRodder47]

First baby!! ❤ I love river Monsters.

[@cyril-jun]

good

[@user-ro4hw7jv1i]

Jeremy I have experience fishing in La hackberry large giant fish’s if you want to come to hackberry la

[@tonywestover9610]

A five pound yellow tail that is not injured will drown you

[@LTPottenger]

25 pounds of force would require a much larger fish than 25 pounds. A fish is neutral in water so it has to actually generate more force than the human while gripping the human somehow. So how big and how much can they generate? Would have to do experiments I suppose.

[@trexbait895]

I sink have rlly low body fat an dense bones 😂

[@philgod420]

30 LB Flattie or Blue would pull him under no problems.

[@Zixyonkbm]

Hey

One Hadith Daily
حضرت ابو مالک اشعری ؓ سے منقول ہے، رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: ”اچھی طرح وضو کرنا نصف ایمان ہے۔ الحمد للہ کہنا میزان (ترازو) کو بھر دیتا ہے۔ سبحان اللہ اور اللہ اکبر کہنا آسمان وزمین کو بھر دیتے ہیں۔ نماز نور ہے، زکاۃ (ایمان کی) دلیل ہے، صبر روشنی ہے اور قرآن مجید حجت ہے تیرے حق میں یا تیرے خلاف۔“
(سنن نسائی 2437)
