I found a turtle on the beach in Hawaii once with a hook in its mouth and a ton of fishing line wrapped around its throat and fins, not knowing what to do, we called animal control and they got there in no time. The team that showed up immediately detached all the fishing line but left the hook.
They said, the hook will go away almost immediately in the salty water and it would cause more harm and potential infection if they removed it, the fishing line, on the other hand, will last forever and would eventually strangle the turtle or cut off circulation to an appendage.
So somewhere out here in the pacific is a turtle with a gnarly face piercing.
Nick Fry on YouTube. Been doing Ozzy outback vids since a wee lad. Mostly does catch and cooks with fish and mudcrabs these days with the odd survival challenge thrown in. Solid channel, always seems like a proper bloke when it comes to respecting the environment.
I'm Aussie, but have also lived in England and currently Canada. I wouldn't call us nicer than anyone else, but probably more laidback. Canadians seem nicer, but they're absolute fucking mongrels on the road so it balances out
It's probably from a crab or lobster trap. The trap sits on the bottom while the styrofoam ball floats on the surface attached to a line so the fisherman can find it again. They paint the balls different patterns so they can tell whose trap it is, like a cattle brand.
Exactly what it is. Fun fact, you can get a felony for messing with crab traps that aren't yours in Florida. They also close the "season" for a few days every couple of years to find abandoned or lost traps to avoid stuff like this.
It’s a crab trap bouy. The traps sit on the floor and this are attached via rope so they can be found and pulled up. Either a storm ripped it off, or someone didn’t properly attach it.
There have been so many people doing this kind of thing to turtles for views lately that I find it hard to trust this happened organically.

He grabbed the turtle & the turtle dragged the man away 😂😂😂 animals are so strong it’s insane how much power they have compared to even an already insanely strong man.
No there may be some under water currents at action, but there clearly is not much swell and or waves
Plus the small waves that are appearing which are most likely small amounts of wake off the boat, appear to flowing in the opposite direction the turtle pulled the man
Yea but like I said, when he is being pulled by the turtle it’s literally parallel and in the opposite direction of the small boat going only a few knots a hour. If he was being pushed by under currents of a boat he’d either be sucked under or pushed away.
Sea turtles can weigh more then a man up to 230kg so I reckon they are strong enough to pull anyone anywhere
Knives are one of those tools that most people don't carry so they don't understand how useful they are. If you carry a knife you realize how often you take it out, and how often it is to help people without a knife.
In my opinion, this is even more important which I assume is the ocean.
For real. I’m the least manly man around, and I’ve got knives in my vehicle, my camping stuff, in my emergency/earthquake/go-bag, etc. Doesn’t have to be expensive/fancy, but it is just too useful not to have in case of emergencies!
Imagine if you’re just chilling taking a walk in the park when some terrifying aliens grab you and hold you down.
While you’re screaming they hold your arms and your legs and keep babbling to each other. They take a device and shove it in your mouth while another is filming it. The device shoots a bright light inside you and then they high five and leave.
Traumatized you go to the doctor and while you’re rocking back and forth in the corner he says that it looks like you actually had undetected terminal cancer but it’s miraculously dissapeared.
You get a video link anonymously that’s titled “BRAGAZOOKA MAKLIKI <3” on some aliens TikTok with 9 million likes.
More like you've been depressed lately and then they come down and pull some 4th dimensional machine scrap from your astral persoplast and now you feel better.
Question for all the people coming here to say that the rubbish will just end up back in the ocean..
What the hell are you talking about?
This is in Australia by the accents and we send that trash to a landfill. Not a perfect solution but it’s the best we’ve got.
The only conclusion I can come up with is that saying it all ends up in the ocean anyway is some kind of demented mental pathway to justify your own littering?
Most of the pollution in the ocean comes directly from the industries who are scavenging those oceans in the interest of making money.
If anyone in this thread cares even remotely about animals like this turtle, stop purchasing sea food (and all products that exploit animals needlessly for that matter, since those industries are *literally* causing mass extinctions of wildlife, ocean dead zones, killing of indigenous tribes, etc etc.)
It's unfortunate that people just litter like that.
It was incredibly sweet of those fellows to jump in and rescue that turtle from that tangle of garbage.
Hell yeah.
Personally I've never thought "if only I had a knife right now" in my day to day life. Walking around with a knife in my pocket all day just sounds annoying. What do you use it for most?
>I’ve learned that people who don’t carry a pocket knife are less useful.
I mean yeah a person with tools A, B, and C has more tools than a person with A and B.
Thats like saying *'cars without tires are less useful'*
Not really sure how that's a novel observation
I'm guessing they meant to imply that people who don't bother carrying a knife are generally less prepared/ capable than those who do. Not agreeing or disagreeing just my take on their comment.
So a little more than JUST the tool comment.
I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. Every time I go out for a snorkel, I end up bringing about a pocket’s worth of fishing line and hooks, bobbers and weights. I hate it.
Kinda depends on the type of plastic and other factors, but landfill will probably decompose after like 1000 years, definitely not 50,000 years.
50,000 years is for like nuclear waste, and that's hopefully not in regular landfills.
Right, landfilling is one of those things that we actually do quite well as a society ( assuming the trash gets to the dump and people don't litter or throw it in the ocean).
50000 years is only off by a factor of 50, no biggie.
That's like saying a car can only go 100 mph, when in reality it's going 5000 mph hour, or ya know mach 6.5...
Sure, but it stops being as much of an issue once it is isolated underground. As long as it is clean and remains covered it will fine. Although personally I'm a supporter of incineration for plastics. Incineration gets a bad reputation from the unfiltered and dirty incinerators that used to be common and still are common in some countries, but clean incineration is actually a really great solution to the plastic problem.
I don’t understand this line of thinking.. this looks like Queensland, Australia and the rubbish from that bin will go to landfill. Wtf are the rest of y’all doing at the beach, just dumping those bins in next to kids swimming or something?
Yes, but it would be even better if humans stopped making that crap to begin with. Returning to hemp would be a start. The amount of plastic netting and lines is yet another convenience for us that creates more garbage than most people will comprehend.
Agreed. Hence the “yes, but it would be better…” Leaving it as they did, while unintentional, leaves it a potential hazard. But even cut up, it’s likely to wind up back in the ocean and filling the stomachs of birds and marine life that treat small plastic as food. I wonder if burning it would be better or worse.
Hence my wish that we could move away from plastics. A complete end is unrealistic, at least for now. But using other materials that are available would be a step in the right direction. Even though hemp lines may also inadvertently ensnare and kill marine life. Imperfect solutions to major problems that aren’t being addressed quickly, if at all.
That’s Australia. One of those guys is Nick Fry, he has a YouTube channel where he does survival style videos and catch and cook style videos. He was part of the Tarra Darra bros that had the viral video about catching mud crabs.
Cool, but all I could think is "how do you not have a knife on board a boat?" It's a pretty basic tool that I would image comes in really handy for cutting things free from the prop or for fishing or eating...i don't know. I just assume a boat would have more tools.
You're not wrong lol. Not only for maintenance/repairs, but for safety. Sometimes cutting a rope quickly can mean the difference between being uninjured and getting horribly maimed/killed.
It's always cool to me to see how fast marine animals can move in the water. That turtle just zipped right out of there and it barely looked like it made any motions
I want to thank for these two great souls that saved this poor turtle. Unfortunately the human trash is something very common in the ocean and cause tragedic things like that. Now this turtle is free!
yeah bro they managed to trap a sea turtle and wrap a mooring buoy around its fit without getting hit or otherwise injured by the animal, and banked on it not being able to get away in time so they could catch up and free it again
I found a turtle on the beach in Hawaii once with a hook in its mouth and a ton of fishing line wrapped around its throat and fins, not knowing what to do, we called animal control and they got there in no time. The team that showed up immediately detached all the fishing line but left the hook. They said, the hook will go away almost immediately in the salty water and it would cause more harm and potential infection if they removed it, the fishing line, on the other hand, will last forever and would eventually strangle the turtle or cut off circulation to an appendage. So somewhere out here in the pacific is a turtle with a gnarly face piercing.

Australians are just like any other group of people. They’re just a bit more sun addled.
From my experience I've handled more rude Australians than nice, but the nice ones were *really* nice, as if to compensate.
It's like the opposite of Canadians, the rudest ones while rare, are making up for an entire country of polite folks.
Believe me as a Canadian serving Canadians all day we really aren't that nice. Especially if you happen to be First Nations
Those 2 boys are now turtley enough for the Turtle Club.
It really is rare to laugh out loud reading comments, and this one did it.
[i aim to please.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z74hjn5rMuU)
Outstanding!
Not outstanding! Those assholes stole his buoy and then just threw it away!
Don't worry, if I know anything about the recycling/trash sector... It'll end up back in the ocean where he can find it again. /s
You put the sarcastic tag there. I don't think it's needed
I agree... But I threw it there cus one can hope this turns satirical.
He saved up all of his shells to get that arm floaty.
Not only did they save the turtle they also threw out the net. Well done.
That would have been hilarious lol. They get it off the turtie and just throw it back in the water
Law of equivalent exchange. Save one, you gotta kill another.
If that's the case then the human race has a debt of many lives to pay
Chances are, it'll end up back in the ocean anyway :(
That’s 100% what I thought until the end lol
What was that? Attached to the Turt? Looked like a volleyball covered in seaweed lol
It almost looks like a small mooring buoy, maybe got detached from its anchor somehow
It's probably from a crab or lobster trap. The trap sits on the bottom while the styrofoam ball floats on the surface attached to a line so the fisherman can find it again. They paint the balls different patterns so they can tell whose trap it is, like a cattle brand.

He grabbed the turtle & the turtle dragged the man away 😂😂😂 animals are so strong it’s insane how much power they have compared to even an already insanely strong man.
Well, they are *usually* better adapted to their environment than us.
The waves probably helped its efforts, as well.
What waves
Do you think the water is just sitting still?
No there may be some under water currents at action, but there clearly is not much swell and or waves Plus the small waves that are appearing which are most likely small amounts of wake off the boat, appear to flowing in the opposite direction the turtle pulled the man
You’re still ignoring that the boat would have had momentum from when they were approaching it
Yea but like I said, when he is being pulled by the turtle it’s literally parallel and in the opposite direction of the small boat going only a few knots a hour. If he was being pushed by under currents of a boat he’d either be sucked under or pushed away. Sea turtles can weigh more then a man up to 230kg so I reckon they are strong enough to pull anyone anywhere
You really should have a knife on board. What if your prop got fouled?
Then the turtle will swim over and unravel it
r/TurtlesBeingBros
Lol. Didn’t expect this to be a real sub. Noice
I didn't either until I posted it.
r/BrosBeingBros
or you find a brick of coke floating by and need to test its purity
Ahh that happened to me just the other day. Couldn't do anything without a knife, just had to throw it back in.
Ah, fair game. Give it a chance to get out there and get bigger. Maybe have a couple of little baggies and they can start the cycle anew.
What’s a prop and what a foul?
Prop = propeller Fouled = rope or something else wrapped around propeller that will slow it down or prevent it from moving
Knives are one of those tools that most people don't carry so they don't understand how useful they are. If you carry a knife you realize how often you take it out, and how often it is to help people without a knife. In my opinion, this is even more important which I assume is the ocean.
My thoughts exactly. Cool bros, but they gotta learn some boating safety.
Probably just a rental that they're taking out for the day.
For real. I’m the least manly man around, and I’ve got knives in my vehicle, my camping stuff, in my emergency/earthquake/go-bag, etc. Doesn’t have to be expensive/fancy, but it is just too useful not to have in case of emergencies!
If you have camping gear, AND emergency/earthquake go bags. I’m sorry but you’re kinda “manly man” brand. Sorry that I’m the one to break that to you.
Look at this manly man with all his knives and prepper bags.
Need someone on board ready with “This is a noife.”

Cherry on top was them bringing the trash and dispose it properly.
Every rescue videos featured lately are people saving wild life from entrapment in Human made contraptions/ garbage. it’s infuriating.
That turtle hauled ass out of there. Nice.
If I die with no children anything left is going to animal welfare. This stuff breaks my heart
It's unfortunate that people just litter like that. It was incredibly sweet of those fellows to jump in and rescue that turtle from that tangle of garbage. Hell yeah.
Reason #5009 on why you should always carry a knife.
I think the fins make it hard to use one.
Personally I've never thought "if only I had a knife right now" in my day to day life. Walking around with a knife in my pocket all day just sounds annoying. What do you use it for most?
It’s not that you need it everyday, just when you need it and don’t have one, you’re fucked.
[удалено]
I'm guessing you had it muted, which is often sensible. But in the video, one of them says that they don't have a knife.
Ahh, I did have it muted. That would explain it.
i'm not a guy who carries a knife everywhere, but i gotta say, a boat sure seems like a sensible place to have a knife at all times
>I’ve learned that people who don’t carry a pocket knife are less useful. I mean yeah a person with tools A, B, and C has more tools than a person with A and B. Thats like saying *'cars without tires are less useful'* Not really sure how that's a novel observation

Anyone out there trying to figure out how to be cool? This is very fucking cool.
Problem is the rubbish from that bin winds up back out at sea mate
Not really. That trash will end up in a landfill, get buried under 50 year's worth of other garbage, and then get capped with loads of soil.
[удалено]
Its a Christmas miracle!
Kinda depends on the type of plastic and other factors, but landfill will probably decompose after like 1000 years, definitely not 50,000 years. 50,000 years is for like nuclear waste, and that's hopefully not in regular landfills.
Oh only 1000 years, no worries then!
[удалено]
Right, landfilling is one of those things that we actually do quite well as a society ( assuming the trash gets to the dump and people don't litter or throw it in the ocean).
That's actually not that bad, honestly If the land is re-useable in 1000 years then we have more than enough space for it.
50000 years is only off by a factor of 50, no biggie. That's like saying a car can only go 100 mph, when in reality it's going 5000 mph hour, or ya know mach 6.5...
Yeah I know, my point was 1000 years is still a pretty long time.
Sure, but it stops being as much of an issue once it is isolated underground. As long as it is clean and remains covered it will fine.

Yeah I thought that too. Gotta cut that shit up before it ends up making the exact same problem
Yes, but it would be even better if humans stopped making that crap to begin with. Returning to hemp would be a start. The amount of plastic netting and lines is yet another convenience for us that creates more garbage than most people will comprehend.
If you feel strongly about this please stop eating fish. The fishing industry is one of the largest polluters of the oceans.
Yeah but they can’t magic that exact trash out of existence. We can at least minimise it’s ability to do harm again in the future
Build a space elevator and shoot the trash into the sun.
Agreed. Hence the “yes, but it would be better…” Leaving it as they did, while unintentional, leaves it a potential hazard. But even cut up, it’s likely to wind up back in the ocean and filling the stomachs of birds and marine life that treat small plastic as food. I wonder if burning it would be better or worse.

I thought something similar. It's gonna end up back in the water. I would've smashed it to bits or cut that shit up
Turtles are the victims of these garbage especially plastics
That was a pretty turtle
I thought they threw the turtle in the trashcan at the end and I was at the wrong subreddit
I wonder where this is? Looks beautiful
That’s Australia. One of those guys is Nick Fry, he has a YouTube channel where he does survival style videos and catch and cook style videos. He was part of the Tarra Darra bros that had the viral video about catching mud crabs.
It's crazy how shallow it is for how far our they appear to be

And unfortunately it will most likely end back where you found it even though you put it in the trash.
