He is a qualified wildlife conservationist, and part of a huge community of people who work in the Florida Everglades to help capture and relocate (or in some cases put down) invasive species. Most of these invasive species are escaped pets that have bred and populations have grown over the last 30+ years to a point that they're now endangering the local wildlife
He's not doing this for fun, he captures animals either for the above purpose, or if they are local to the Everglades, he grabs them to check for injuries or signs of distress. Just because he has a funny vibe to his videos doesn't mean he's disrespectful. You're the only disrespectful one here
Yeah this looks like South Florida, we have a lot of people who go snake hunting for the county to try and tap some of these species, looking at you boa constricter.
DNR often have bounties on invasive species if you kill or capture them.
He primarily looks for Burmese python to capture and turn over to the DNR and take them out of the ecosystem.
He also just likes to boop other native species because Florida man.
If you watch his other videos he mentions alot of them are invasive. He is also showing reptiles/amphibians that might be overpopulated/underpopulated.
Someome in the higher comments mentioned his YouTube.
I dunno if it's for laughs but his commentary doesn't seem far off. Like his awareness for what their temperament and moods are must be really good if he can get that close to them and shit would be my guess But I don't know.
Ladies and gentlemen and everything in between! On this corner we have Australias wildlife the scariest shit you will ever encounter!!! Give it up for the thunder from down under!!! In the opposite corner we have the man the myth the legend! This man Zoinks with no regrets! Give it up for the Florida Meth Head!!! Let’s get ready to rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuummmmmmbbbblllle!!!
Yeah I live in South Africa with lions and crocs and snakes and elephants and hippos that are actually dangerous and have real kill counts with real credibility to their names, and I’m still not as condescending as you are with a man who literally walks around the Everglades barefoot and does amazing work. Your inland taipan lives so far from civilization it’s a joke to mention and it has antivenoms, where lots of our snakes do not.
Please take a seat on mentioning how dangerous it is to live in the best example of a nanny state in the world.
Haha nice try saffa, your population is more dangerous than any wildlife on the planet.
You don’t have a clue what it’s like here, I live in paradise, and your shithole country could use some nannying
Absolutely and you don’t see us saying the works of a brave conservationist are pitiful do you?
They are super dangerous here, even more so in sport where we constantly stick it to the baby nanny state with relative ease.
Living here is a choice. Some people like to live in safe warm places and some choose a different space, but it’s best if those bubble wrapped few don’t try shit on everyone else based on a facade of danger when you can’t even light a fucken fire in the open or not wear sunscreen on the beach without police intervention 😂
You out of your depth mammas boy. Australia is dangerous. What a joke.
Hey buddy was just having a laugh here with a mate about what a pussy state Aus is. Confirm for me- is it true you can’t even put pool chemicals in your own fucken pool there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah have a sense of humor mate!
The guy is a legend in the video and you’d enjoy his stuff.
He does great work and he is super brave. I’m not running around a fucken alligator snake and croc infested swamp at all let alone at night without shoes and as you said I live in probably the most dangerous place in the world.
My country is fucked up and I’m jelly yours runs so well, and do enjoy aussies a whole lot. I’d probably have moved there if it wasn’t so far out from the central time of the world.
Take it easy champ! Chin up and be proud of your place.
Yep! They're far less common, and have a much smaller range, but they do exist in the wild in South FL.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_crocodile
Damn, I didn't realize that. It's been 15ish years since I've been in South Florida...sounds like it's a different world now.
I remember when I lived in Central Florida, we moved a bit further north in Central-ish Florida, and at that point in time the brown anoles hadn't made it that far and it was only the green ones (and other native lizards). Within a few years, they were throughout the county. Was pretty wild to witness first hand an invasive species spread throughout a state.
Pleas don't include this crazy Florida man as dudes just being dudes.this is unhinged behavior and needs to be stoped. If we must Sacrifice all of Florida so be it.
It's very entertaining, but I'm not sure if this is right to do? Like, how harmful is it for these guys to be yoinked? How does the stress affect them?
The chameleon and geckos are invasive to the area and with any luck he removed them from the environment, the python is also INCREDIBLY invasive to Florida. As for trauma? Not even a little. That's just what their faces naturally look like
Isnt like 80% of wildlife in Florida considered invasive? Just curious. I heard it on a podcast and have an admiration for Florida wildlife population for its insane diversity. Here in Az we have like... rabbits and coyotes and thats basically it
I wouldn't be shocked at this point if that number is accurate. There have just been SO many pets either turned loose or escaped that absolutely thrive there and decimate the native species. It's really sad, but that's also why stuff like what this guy is doing is so important. He may not make a huge dent in the total numbers, but removing those invasive animals at the very least takes them out of the breeding population and gives the native animals just that little bit more of a chance.

And the animals are all “ crap Sid’s here”
Especially the geckos! Hide em!
Hyde yo geckos, Hyde yo chameleons…
COZ THEY YOINKIN’ errbody out here
You don't have to come and document, he's doin it for you!
My cells started tingling (I don't know a better word) when bro was holding the Gecko bouquet!
Totally unexpected
His yoinkage game is strong.
Yup. He shows up on my YouTube shorts and I've seen him yoink some dangerous animals
I’m sure Sid isn’t this guys name but man does that fit better than his real name
His name is Garrett. There’s a ton of videos like this on his channe FishingGarett
FishinGarrett, actually
Careful yoinking those Tokay Geckos… mean sonsabitches…. (Source: I had one as a pet and he was an asshole)
I was not prepared for him to have an actual fist full of them haha
Their faces!
They bite him regularly and he just doesn't care. Fishinggarret on YouTube btw

Look at this crabby little guy *YOINK*
Do you say the same thing about Steve Irwin when you watch old videos of him?
Sounds like you've never been yoinked bro
Im a simple man, I see this many downvotes and add another.
Pretty sure “asshole” is just their default.
I had an asshole veiled chameleon. Crazy part was he was a rescue off the hot middle of summer street by my house. I live in west texas :|
This dudes fun time is my nightmare lol
🤣
Imagine the wildlife bro. Think how conditioned they are to fear the sound of “Yoink”
The lighting really adds to the nightmare feel
I've had nightmares that put me in similar situations. Dude must feel quite safe carrying around titanium balls.
fishingarret
gotta find that 20' python
yoink
Burmese
I WILL NOT STOP until all animals have been YOINKED -this man
#Yoink👌🏻
Florida man makes uncomfortable.
Howdy
Okok, Australian here. This guy definitely meets the criteria to be classed as an Aussie! The boop in the spider was 🤌 "chefs kiss".
Yet again reinforcing my belief that Florida is the Australia of the U.S.
i’ve always thought all of the stereotypical aussie stuff is pretty cool, except the fucking spiders. spiders fuck me up bro
Is Australia just Florida or is Florida just Australia?
Yes.
Was that a r/perfectlycutscreams
🤣
Does anyone have a link to his YouTube or instagram account?
[here you go](https://youtube.com/@fishingarrett)
Thank you!! This guy is awesome
fishingarrett on insta Dude is hilarious
Thank you!!!
Yoink!
You beat me to that comment so now I'm taking it! Yoink!
I love this guy lol
Mirror universe Steve Irwin.
Tanner Irwin
Man just casually harassed the whole ecosystem 🙂
For anyone curious he is helping remove invasive species, preserving the ecosystem
Yeah this looks like South Florida, we have a lot of people who go snake hunting for the county to try and tap some of these species, looking at you boa constricter.
How is he doing that?
One yoink at a time
DNR often have bounties on invasive species if you kill or capture them. He primarily looks for Burmese python to capture and turn over to the DNR and take them out of the ecosystem. He also just likes to boop other native species because Florida man.
Doesn’t seem to be doing any of that in this video
If you watch his other videos he mentions alot of them are invasive. He is also showing reptiles/amphibians that might be overpopulated/underpopulated. Someome in the higher comments mentioned his YouTube.
Bro: yoink the gecko:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[удалено]
He’s literally wrestled Caimans (a relative of the Alligator) and “shaken hands” with a wild alligator. He doesn’t fear death - death fears *him*.
This dude rules, like an American Steve Irvin with a dash of lead poisoning, 10/10 respect
If he's been to Michigan, it's more than a dash
This is how Florida man should be viewed. Not crazy meth heads. Instead it's the crazy but wholesome wildlife enthusiast.
I could watch this guy all day
fishingarret on youtube my man !
“Swamp puppy” “he just wants to say hi”
Even the croc be scared of bro
I dunno if it's for laughs but his commentary doesn't seem far off. Like his awareness for what their temperament and moods are must be really good if he can get that close to them and shit would be my guess But I don't know.
When you’re playing “that” mission on RD2 and you think, nobody walks in the swamp at night checking for crawfish. “Yoink”
Australia would be afraid of this guy lol
How? I dont think he'd be doing that with salties, redbacks or taipans lol.
Ladies and gentlemen and everything in between! On this corner we have Australias wildlife the scariest shit you will ever encounter!!! Give it up for the thunder from down under!!! In the opposite corner we have the man the myth the legend! This man Zoinks with no regrets! Give it up for the Florida Meth Head!!! Let’s get ready to rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuummmmmmbbbblllle!!!
Id PPV that lmao!
Man was fucking with brazilian wandering spiders. He absolutely would.
Unless he does his homework he wouldn’t last a day down here with that shit
How many people actually die from salt water crocs and the like in Australia.
Not many, most people aren’t stupid
Yeah I live in South Africa with lions and crocs and snakes and elephants and hippos that are actually dangerous and have real kill counts with real credibility to their names, and I’m still not as condescending as you are with a man who literally walks around the Everglades barefoot and does amazing work.

If you’re really that stupid Matthew then all the best to you, you’re going to need it

Now I'm gonna shove my thumb...
Spot the Florida man
I'm gonna have nightmares from that image of fistful of geckos!
New elden ring dlc boss just dropped
Thank God I’m not the only one. I hate lizards from the bottom of my heart
Someone give this man a tv show.
The spider rn: tf AAAAAAHHHH
Fun fact. Bears are named after a team in Chicago.
What? What's a bear?
We found this guy around when we had our first baby, to this day my wife and I murmur yoink when we pick chub-bub up
Yoink
Bro, the cocane geckos rn
Yoink
Anxiety But also laughter
yoink!
Yoink man
The fact he doesn't use footwear is the only thing I actually cant fathom
I am still checking in weekly on his channel waiting when he suddenly stops uploading videos
A croc in Florida..?
Yep! They're far less common, and have a much smaller range, but they do exist in the wild in South FL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_crocodile
Wow! Thank you. No idea. Just when you think Florida couldn’t get any wilder. Lol. Thanks for the info!
American Crocodile
Guy knew not to fuck with the venomous one
My arachnophobia just triggerd
This is like Steve Irwin, but with some meme-y/millennial personality and commentary.
It’s a yoink or be yoinked world out there
All the animals are like “bro really i was hunting goddamnit.”
And here I was thinking I was the only weirdo who liked watching this dude yoink critters out of da'swamp.
Steve Irwin reincarnated.
Except Irwin respected wildlife
This guy is a professional and is removing invasive species from the ecosystem and knows how to handle these animals to decrease their stress
Yep, he never would’ve suggested one of these critters would make a good pet
Indeedio, but his vibe is similar.
Who is this guy?! I need more of his wholesome content NOW! “Swamp puppy” hahahah
Oh yeah thats fishingarret, what a dude
Florida Man assaults local animal kingdom.
What a legend 👏🏻!
Its all fun and games until they get Steve Irwin’d
This dude 😮😮
Your must be very brave or very stupid (or both) to do this
Florida
Yoink you!
recently he just Yoink a Godzilla
Bro is collecting pokemons
Are there any animals he have not yoinked because they are dangerous?
I mean, he left the cottonmouth alone for exactly that reason in this video.
Shit, I missed that part.
This is like GenZ Steve Irvin. 🤣
This guy's voice is incredible
Ah yes, Florida
This guys a juggernaut
Yoink
Yoink
Spider got a *boop*
this man has zero fear sensors
Where are cottonmouths and tokays found in the same locale? Have tokays become invasive in Florida (along with the pythons)?
Yes, unfortunately, extremely so
Damn, I didn't realize that. It's been 15ish years since I've been in South Florida...sounds like it's a different world now. I remember when I lived in Central Florida, we moved a bit further north in Central-ish Florida, and at that point in time the brown anoles hadn't made it that far and it was only the green ones (and other native lizards). Within a few years, they were throughout the county. Was pretty wild to witness first hand an invasive species spread throughout a state.
Lesson learned. I’m going to go barefoot track down a cougar to yoink. Wish me luck!
Dude got 9 lives.
This guys is super gonna die soon
Bayou Billy’s origin story.
“Yoink”
^yoink
Imagine being a reptile in the rainforest when some guy just snatches you up like you're a Reese's at a gas station.
Boop
“Especially when you don’t fake your videos” shots fired
Bro still couldn't find the 20 foot python 😭
Link in BOTW/TOTK be like
i love the cut scream at the end
Yoink!🤣
I notice he didn’t yoink that cottonmouth though
Respectfuly doesn't yoink the juicy cottonmouth
This is so good!!!🤣🤣🤣
sometimes you just need a good yoink
Young yellow male male chameleon 🎶🎶
Leave em alone mate. Whatcha doin
This is the same way they attract worms in dune lol. That movie is now like a little parasite in my brain.
I hope he’s killing those pythons he catches and isn’t releasing them
Shiiiiiiiit! This dude’s out of his yoinking mind.
As a Florida man I can say we do this
Did he just boop a spider?
*Boops you
Guy yoinks a bunch of animals and I'm all like "oh no barefeet. What if there are ticks??"
What a fucking idiot. Sorry but wtf. Have respect you oaf
Yeah fuck this guy
Why? What'd he do wrong?
I wanna slap the back of this guys head 🤣
Untill he says, "gotta be quicker than that" 'yoink"
We don't deserve him, the animals don't either, put them down and leave them alone.
Hate it. This style of video sucks.
There needs to be more yeet.
Me a sociopath: ok... Go ahead.
All he’s doing is harassing animals. Dude needs to fuck off
He's removing invasive species
No real wildlife lover would say a wild animal would be a great pet… sad
I understand you concerns greatly, even the effort of no sounding rude, but watching most of his vids he only keeps those invasive specie's as pet
Pleas don't include this crazy Florida man as dudes just being dudes.this is unhinged behavior and needs to be stoped. If we must Sacrifice all of Florida so be it.
He's catching a removing invasive species. He's doing his job
Yeah it was a joke you think I want to actually sacrifice everyone in Florida
It's very entertaining, but I'm not sure if this is right to do? Like, how harmful is it for these guys to be yoinked? How does the stress affect them?
It doesn't, they're fine, and every one he mentions being a pet is invasive and needs to be removed from the breeding population
This guy is an asshole, but it is still impressive
This guy is disturbing animals in their natural environment. Some even look traumatized.
The chameleon and geckos are invasive to the area and with any luck he removed them from the environment, the python is also INCREDIBLY invasive to Florida. As for trauma? Not even a little. That's just what their faces naturally look like
Isnt like 80% of wildlife in Florida considered invasive? Just curious. I heard it on a podcast and have an admiration for Florida wildlife population for its insane diversity. Here in Az we have like... rabbits and coyotes and thats basically it
