Imagine he pulls up a mermaid, measures it, tags it, and throws it back lol
Lmao classic Jeremy
"Tags it"
That's what I'm waiting for. Lol
This actually made me laugh lmfao
That would be a different kind of Tag I guess
One's got to admire the passion this man has for river monsters which are just beautiful large fishes
River monsters they're just fucking fish 😂 he loves and in fact humans love making mystical names for fish and animals in they're imagination
Don't be so closed minded. We don't know what people are seeing. And these things have have been sighted for centuries to this day.
@@bekabeka71
Not every single myth is part of one's imagination, so it's best to not come to that conclusion. Every myth and legend has a grain of truth within.
Fish*
tommy gilmore fishes is an acceptable plural for fish. :)
I love that Jeremy showed no disbelief and disrespect towards to the locals' stories
He is a true gentleman. A class act.
it's so cool to hear things like urban myths about the sea, you could get lost in the sheer number of those stories
If anyone can capture a mermaid it is this man right here

It’s always so difficult to tell the difference between a big fish wearing a wig and a woman.
Lmao
Lols
Yo momma
As a seaman, I can never tell whether its a wig or seaweed
Hell yes Mike stop on haha what have these people been smoking?.👍🏴
I really like Mr Wade. He’s so knowledgeable and has this lovely way of speaking.
When you start seeing woman even in a normal fish, you know you are desperate.
😜😅😅😅
A G as were many men stuck on boats for months on end with no women for hundreds of miles lol
or drunk hahahahaha
@@omgitsjoetime those are sirens, they "call" unto sailors but mermaids are mostly doesn't attract people to their death
Manu Villacarillo that’s not what Jack Sparrow taught me.
Really suspicious that multiple cultures all over the world before they’ve had contact with each other have made these myths of mermaids
To be fair, it's not a hard myth to come up with. Several mythical creatures have real life counterparts, and exaggeration was really rampant back in those times before cameras.
To be frank we all brainwashed that ancient civilizations are not connected, but it is a false. In order to quantify and glorify the voyages of Britishers they all reverberated all world stating that they discovered everything and connected everyone instead they desteoyed everything
You have to keep in mind that there are multiple different types of mermaids and all the myths don’t describe the same looking creature. See the Starbucks mermaid for example.
Casey Kidd Right? Like how different kinds of people from different continents somehow as a kid imagine a person running alongside the car while travelling. Very suspicious.
@@kosaba11
What about the ones that don't have a real life counterpart?
So many animals have been hunted to extinction over the years of human civilizations expansion
Every story of a dragon has a dragon Hunter or some wandering knight who came by and killed it
What a legend, trying to catch mermaid with fishing rod!
Siim Vainult 💀👊🏼
Hahahaha, what a legend indeed.
Maybe theres a little vienna sausage at the end of the line for thirsty mermaids.
Maybe try fishing with an artificial dong lure! XD
Yeah to catch mermaid should use dildo
Imagine the first thing he caught was a mermaid

Most sailors would have preferred fish head/lower body of woman.
After months at sea, big fish and seals would look more attractive every day!
Gives whole new meaning to cat-fishing!!! 😂

A good Irish tune!
😭😭😭
Somewhere out in the Universe , there's a mermaid trying to catch an illusive Jeremy Wade.
"I had to go to a place near by..."
*drives like 500km to the middle of nowhere to see cave drawings
hahaha so true
"near by" is relative. If someone points you to his/her neighbor in Canada, Alaska, Samiland or Siberia, that may turn out to be a 40km hike....
Imagine that he catches a fish with a wig , lipstick and eyelashes
Haha..with its celly taking a selfie 😂😂
💅👁️👄👁️
Oh ye are hilarious 😂
Evolution be like:
And the monkeys decided to go for a long swim.....
Domokos Kelen This is actually a real theory 😂 It’s called the Aquatic Ape theory!
Many scientists believe in aquatic apes theory even Whale are mammals
When I was 11 I was fishing in a boat with my grandfather on the groundhog River in Northern Ontario, Canada. It was early morning and we had just started out. I was at the front leaning out slightly watching the wave caused by the bow, my grandfather was manning the motor.
As I watched I saw a human head and back rise up out of the water inches from my face. It was a human body until it reached the bum, at wich point it became a fish with large green scales from the waist down.
The tail was not that of a fish ie up and down but rather that of a dolphin side to side ie a fluke.
Strange because these rivers are fresh water and fluked animals live in Salt waters. I know I was not dreaming because it made certain to give me a good splash with its tail before diving down, never to be seen again.
Strangely my grandfather did not see it.
I believe you. We're you frightened?
I also believe u❤
There are lost of creatures on the earth which we can't see .
U R on Instagram?
Thank you for sharing your experience
Didn't Columbus think a manatee was a mermaid
Quite honestly though, who would mistaken a sea-cow with a mermaid? 95% of our oceans are unexplored because our fucking government is so adamant on finding life in space, ignoring the fact why our oceans are so polluted. Plus mermaids in general are probably not as good-looking as the television makes it out to be. Talking to you ARIEL!!!!!
@Trousersnake Pliskin that's true 😂
Trousersnake Pliskin 😂😂
Alicia blah blah blah this percent is unexplored. Scientifically there is no way that mermaids could be a thing due to ancestors and evolution trees
Krabzaga and friends everything is not scientific. There are things that can't be explained.
I mean...I believe in mermaids for the same reason I believe in aliens... we have only discovered 7% of ocean..imagine what's in the other 93%..we have discovered hardly any of the galaxies...imagine what's in the vastness that we haven't seen
Mega IQ
WOW big brain
Would you tell us what you smoke? It's kinda good quality
It's not the same logic for aliens though. For life on another planet you just need another earth in the right zone from a star with water and life could happen. And that sounds crazy but if the universe is as big as we think it is. It's almost certain that there are many 'earths' out there.
Mermaids are entirely another thing. It requires the evolution of a fish? To transform into half an ape? And to keep evolving while it's also able to live deep enough down in waters we have found yet? And none of their remains or half eaten corpses have ever been found.
Xhelloxshane X and i have discovered you in this world 😂
Imagine if you could come with Jeremy on a fishing adventure. I think that would have been awesome.
Clicked immediately after seeing the mermaid title! 😂
iAM RDN me too!

I was just reading a twitter thread of Haitians telling their families encounters with “mermaids” 😯it’s so creepy
Medusa X i was reading them toooo
That’s how I got here😂
For me I was watching a tik tok a girl talking about magical creatures and I check the comment section it was so interesting that's how I end up here
Show me. What's the website?
@@allisonv1521 post the website
Maybe what people believed were mermaids were actually some species of dolphins that no longer exist. Maybe they had some sort of human looking features that could be mistaken with half human half fish.
Niki M manatee
Seals!
Plus consider the fact that the human brain is hardwired to recognize human features, especially faces. So, under poor visibility conditions, in the night, fog, in split-second encounters....there may be "false positives"...

This big fish was pretending to drown
Here in Zimbabwe a girl came back after 40 years of living in the water.These stories are true
😦
Nani ? Wtf 😒❗
No they are not
@@lavarball3140 what? 💀🗿
I'm so disappointed. He concluded that all these evidences and testimony are null and void. Almost every culture on earth from little villages to big metropolis spoke of sea creatures that look similar to humans from the torso up. He means to tell me that thousands of people that have never met each other, somehow manager to come up with basically the same story and they were all wrong? What is he hiding?
These creatures DO EXIST! The 1st one I saw was exactly the way the woman described her. (And they CAN live out of water) her skin was milk white and her hair was long and red. Her eyes were light brown and red. And af he had like, the perfect shaped body! I lived in California at the time. So think about it..the hot California sun and milk white skin don't add up, right? Well ,she was a stripper at an exotic bar ( makes sense now? ) that was over 20 years ago. But not my last encounter. The 2nd one was on a personal level. And one that could have took my life. I wish I was making this, shit up. But it's the truth. The other encounter was in Florida. I could write a book about what I experienced but, Heck I'm just glad I'm alive because at the time I didn't know she was going to try and drown me or take me back where she came from, or what. ( shit was crazy and most Definitely REAL. )
Tammy Thomas tell me more! Sounds scary!
@@telishacooks2013 You wanna know more, because it SOUNDS SCAREY???? If you REALLY wanna be scared...EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF....I hope you're not that willing. I shared my experience, hoping someone else would take heed to who they allow in their lives and the SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCE S of being vulnerable to the flesh. I DON'T WANNA SCARE YOU BUT SAVE. or just find out for yourself
Humans have been traveling over sea since the Vikings. These guys brought back a Buddhist statue, so they've literally sailed to Asia at least once. Some drunk, lonely sailors who imagine a woman in the dark waters of the night, sharing the story on every harbor is hardly a miracle. People traveled, told and inspired stories and whenever someone "saw" something they linked it to the tale they heard. Also humanity imagined half-animals since forever. Egyptians made them their gods, Greeks invented half human, half horse/goat/fish/snake. Whatever made a good story. It's hardly surprising to find the same tale on different parts of the world, especially if they've been open to travel once.
@@tammythomas209 yes I wanna know because it sounds scary! Who doesn't want to hear a good story (scary or whatever) every once in a while? Telling a great story like that will make ppl want to hear more for whatever reason.. I don't see why it matters. I just thought your story was very intriguing. I love to hear stories of such things because I KNOW they exist. One thing I won't do is physically go look for one of those things which is why I asked you. So, I aint gonna be experiencing nothing intentionally. Its better to know what you are up against and how to handle it versus running into the unknown and not knowing what to do. So, if you don't want to go into more details about your story than cool beans.
This is the guy I want looking for mermaids
As a lover of mythology I believe there is more to the story
As a fellow fishermen I love your stuff man that's awesome and I think you got it right on the nail
I once heard a story that the reason these sailors were 'seeing mermaids' was cause they had been at sea for so long that there imaginations were running wild n seeing what they wanted to see!! But who knows lol
So they were most likely seeing a fish like this in the distance or obscured in a way were it at quick glance appeared human like!!
Feel like some of these people be high asf sometimes 🤣🤣
All Christian's are bat-shiznit crazy
What if mermaids actually exist and are within our reach to some extent?
Probably
If mermaids exist, it wouldn't be eaten or hunted or anything, lets just say the story would be really dark😂
@@bruhzone8466, we should declare on the mermaids, and spend an endless amonth of money on it...
We know they support terrorist, have WMD and likely want us extinct, if they start to walk on lands...
We will become rats again!!!!
shoutout to this show for making me deathly scared of deep murky water. Thank you:)
On another note...that’s really quite a pretty fish! I haven’t seen many big fish like that that have a pale opalescent sheen to them
I just find it fishy that why there are mermaid pics on the cave, and if it was just some dude mistook a fish as a mermaid than why he is going to bother putting a knife on his hand or i might say tools, like that little details. There are also like baby mermaids, and they have drawn like some type of tribal or like social creatures. By the way i am not on weed or i am not into " little mermaid" fantasy thing. Just curious.
I never want this man to pass away this dudes just a legend
Jeremy with beard hit different❤🤣
Love u man love ur videos...I'm a big fan of ur shows from my childhood
Even if mermaids are real (well there is a chance) people will start hunting them for sport or to experiment which will make them be in danger
which is why they are not exposed
Well ya never know if the mermaids are trying to hunt the humans maybe like assasins
They aren’t real there’s no way we wouldn’t have a photograph or video of them already unless they live in like the bottom of the ocean
2:58 why do the mermaid cave paintings look so much newer than the previous 4 legged animals 😂
One of the villages here in Fiji in the highlands has a full skeleton of what we call a "Ikayalewa" meaning "Woman fish" if translated. A chief of a village near the ocean called Levuka hunted the Ikayalewa about 100 years ago and caught one. He sent it up to the village in the highlands as a gift. The skeleton is still there to this day. Human top half and fish bottom half with tail still intact. The chief owns it and never lets anyone touch it. I've never believed in mermaids but I've seen the skeleton. But it's a gruesome hike to the village.
Sorta like ningyo meaning 'human fish' in Japanese
I always mistake the sound of a thrashing fish with that of a woman

I grew up listening to my grandpa's mermaid stories. I highly believe there is something out there on the bottom of the sea that d/t the change in climate strange things are surfacing to the top. Creature unknown to some humans I believe there are preexisting animals that are hiding else where in the world and as I said things are changing so they are coming up and we may not be prepared to handle these things. Thank Jeremy Wade. My family and my family had watched you through out all your investigations all over the world. Thank you. If I had children this will be one of my best TV shows that I would allow them to watch and learn.
Oh Jeremy the creature behind the mermaid is the mermaid
THE EYES AT THE START SCARED ME SO MUCH that is spooky that
i believe the man in that woman story's was drunk hahahaaaaaa
ya and all the other people who saw it too, what a dumbass
Jeremy Wade: it's only a fish.
Mermaid: ur wrong...
Me: that fisherman might be covering for the mermaids?🤔
Can u imagine a diver down there in a mermaid suit swimming up and escaping lol, I would love to see the look on his face !! Lmao
Lmao!
Should have used a stack of hundreds as bait.
💀💀
💀💀
And a few grams of coke
Or a pumpkin spice latte
Yea fishing for a gold digger
I love Jeremy Wade.
I'm a big fan Sir Jeremy Wade, I think I can say I've watch almost all your episodes. I am from a small state in the northeastern part of India called Mizoram. My granpa use to tell me about a fish he caught in one of the rivers here, and many others have also seen and have caught it. But the weird part is, the fish is like 5-6 cms long but with a humanoid upper body with hands and all( like mermaids). I would love to see you try and catch or just explore this part of India where fairy tales and this kind of weird creatures are still believed to exist. Much love all the way from Mizoram. xoxoxo
if there is anyone who cab represent us to the fish community if they happen to need a negotiation for all the shit we do this man is it. he is the one. really huge respect for the knowledge
I thought a mermaid was supposed to be a made up fairytale for little girls. Well, I was wrong. LMAO
I live in South Africa, I know exactly where that is
I have caught kob up to 100 pounds, it's a real beast
So, do you also think that's what people believe is mermaid?
@@nikim6986 I don't know, I don't believe in mermaids but on the other hand we know more about the service of the moon than our ocean so...
But I don't think the cob is what people are masking for mermaids because cob don't usually swim in shallow water, especially the big ones tend to be more in the deep pools along a beach (but they do go into rivers to lay eggs) but the really big ones are very hard to find
@@Ben-es3ix Largemouth yellowfish?
Where in sa is this
Well there are mermaids 🧜🏾♀️ , people who witnessed them are not alive anymore
My grandma is still alive, she saw one.
How do they look, I mean do they look pretty like in movies or what???
Clare Ktmaw 😂 horrific I’m sure
Highly unlikely, but who knows.
Neo Ramaphoko I have actually seen 1
I was fishing in the dam at Buffelsjag literally three days ago, and I now reckon the myths of the mermaids are probably based on sightings of large barbel or sharptooth catfish, as they are very abundant there
Shes got dinner with bernacle boy
That's *Barnacle MAN!

Thank you for posting on you tube. Sometimes I cant watch you on the tv so this makes up for it.
So why would people 50,000 years ago who probably didnt have contact with other cultures would paint something such as that if it wasnt real where would they get that sort of notion from?
Exactly , why would Christopher Columbus, an extremely well educated and smart man, note down his encounters with mermaids if they were just fish
iamcem Because he’s fucked in the head mate,, fuck christopher columbus!
Same reason why dragons are huge part of folklore. Humans are very imaginative animals.
@@Tmp866 all humans that are separated by continents unlike todays time where everyone is connected through the www imagined the exact same thing i dont know man i get what your saying but its strange in my opinion
Those cave paintings look kinda fresh. Anyone agree?

Hell yeah!
Thanks for fishing in my country
Aquaman is walking on land right now.
I remember the legends said the mermaids can hypnotize from the sound and attack people
I never saw a mermaid but when i was a little girl, a hand touched mine when i was sitting in our bridge with my hands in the water. Am still scared of the river because of that
That was a ghost
WOW! talk about a fish to match the description!
In Australia that’s a jewfish (Mulloway) and are one of the greatest fish in the country to catch
We catch cracking ones in the Hawkesbury river Nsw
Imagine actaully catching a mermaid. What would you do?
Eat them, I bet it taste yummy.😂
Eeeew I will be even sacred to eat it I would of left out the water with the hook still attached in ran lol imd
But it's still fish, just eat the tail 😂😂 but I don't wanna eat it also, they might have poop inside
Douglas Declaros
Fucking dumbass idiot
Shoot it the American way
Those very old paintings are sure better than mine
IN THE PHILIPPINES we have that
I don't know but a lot of cultures said to have seen mermaids. This mythical creatures have different stories all over the world. Could be true or not but what do we know.
who’s from aussie and it’s a jew fish 😂
Lol was just saying that, I thought they were only called Jew fish or mulloway fish
Correct 🍻
Oath
jack morgan media yeah ahahah
Yeah I was like that’s a Jewy
I miss your show
How does he catch these I have trouble catching trout
For him everything is fish.. Loch ness monster is a fish..Mermaid is a fish.. Any creature you refer to him he will catch one fish and tell you this is it..
Love your comment
RatheeshLifeTV True, that's why I stopped watching the show on TV
his ex is a fish
Country people wouldn't be mistaking mermaids for "fish". I'm sure they can extinguish the difference between a fish head and a human head lol. If it's been seen for centuries, my guess is that it's more real than anything. We just haven't "found" them yet or they got too smart about appearing in public.
Not just that, what about the scream that they said was distinguished by most of the people that saw the mermaid, that fish I bet doesn't scream. Not just that but those drawings indicate people have seen them for long periods of times over many many years im pretty sure that atleast one of those had a pretty good look and knew it wasn't a fish.
Please come to Jamaica there are many sightings of mermaid under the flat bridge
I live in SA and I also saw something like that
It could be a carp about the size of a human surface with some sea weeds covering the head which he assumming is hair.. saw him n turn away quickly with a splash..ahh..thats mermaid i reckon
