Securing a lamprey to his neck
E
His wife is going to be pissed off when he gets home… I swear, its not what it looks like, it was a Lamprey
N
It’s Jeromey wade He is married to fishing
E
😂😂 he really is, love the guy. River Monsters is just next level! The research phase, the scoping phase, the suspense and then generally the catch! Amazing
N
It’s probably one of the best shows from Discovery channel (or animal planet) in a long time
E
So true
D
Fishing? Completed it mate
A
Musa Point, Karamja?
A
If it wasn’t for this clip his a$$ would be grass with his wife lol
L
I mean, is he allowed to show her the same video we all watched?
E
That is forbidden, he operates a strict fish/catcher confidentiality policy! What happens on the river, stays on the river
L
Ooh, kinky!
D
That’s his plan, he was using the lamprey to cover up a hickey. Smart dude
M
My girlfriend would be pissed too if I ever got one
D
Have you seen inside their mouths? That’s going to look more like hamburger than a hickey. 😂

Loved this guys TV series “River Monsters”. I remember that episode.

For those who don’t know sea lamprey are a fish that has a parasitic stage. Although called sea lamprey they are more commonly found in the great lake and have done catastrophic damage to the economy and environment there. Fortunately the Great lakes fisheries commission has been able to bring them down to manageable levels (https://www.glfc.org/ their website) but they still cause mass damage and are believed to be one of the leading factors that decimated the lake trout population. The Great lakes fisheries commission website has a lot of information for those that like to read a lot. There are also native species of lamprey, but it’s the sea lamprey I this video and it’s the problematic one for the great lakes. The one in this video is most likely a native species because this is from river monsters and they are rare but native in many regions of the world Source : , mod of r/parasitology and I made a 7min video that goes into greater detail it’s INFO DENSE so totally cool if youre not into it [nerdy parasite video](https://youtu.be/3OKcWkBJQNA) but I thought it was an interesting topic after seeing this video
N
Fucks my shit up that they are in the Great Lakes. As a kid being scared something is gonna bite your toes but then being reassured all the scary, monstrous, aggressive animals are in the ocean… now I see this shit is in the lake? Leeches weren’t bad enough?
D
Well as someone who is a resident of the great lakes area. I’ve heard and learned a lot about invasive species and their danger over the years. Not a lot of concern being taught regarding being attacked by them…so maybe not much of a risk?
S
They don’t go after warm blooded prey. Even in this video, it will attach reflexively if placed there, but it won’t actually bite/feed. I very much doubt it attached to him of it’s own volition and was likely caught beforehand and then placed on his neck. I’ve seen plenty of people do this who work with sea lamprey.
D
Thank you that makes more sense.
X
And for those who don’t know what attaching means, it’s the complete opposite of what’s happening in the video.
N
Oh boy, another person posting a super pedantic ” well actually” comment. How do you think it got into his neck?
H
Something something Goa’uld
T
How ironic when your top level post is actually a great example of “well, actually”. Textbook case. Nice work. You, yourself, are fairly pedantic, seemingly authority-seeking, easily irritated, and have forgotten that while you preach disdain for seminar-level posts, you, your own self, gave a seminar re: “for those who don’t know” LOL! edit: Oh. I see. You’re a “professional redditor” who camps all day long on reddit to earn upvotes. Cool story, bro’.
P
Well, sure, but don’t you think a more accurate title for this post is “Removing a lamprey from his neck?”
U
For those who don’t know “attaching” is when you put something on something, like if he were to be trying to get the lamprey to bite onto his neck. In this video, what you see is him actually “detaching” – in other words, removing – the lamprey from his neck.
N
How do you think it got on his neck in the first place chief. Hint it didn’t swim to him
T
Fun fact! Vedius Pollio, friend of emperor Augustus, is notorious for keeping a pool of lampreys “into which slaves who incurred his displeasure would be thrown as food”. Furthermore, “On one occasion, Augustus was dining at Vedius’ home when a cup-bearer broke a crystal glass. Vedius ordered him thrown to the lampreys, but the slave fell to his knees before Augustus and pleaded to be executed in some more humane way. Horrified, the emperor had all of Vedius’s expensive glasses smashed and the pool filled in. According to Seneca, Augustus also had the slave freed; Dio merely remarks that Vedius “could not punish his servant for what Augustus also had done” Very likely exaggerated or totally fabricated, but what an insane method of punishment/execution!
A
Don’t fuck with Jeremy Wade, he’s the real river monster.
D
Jeremy Wade can attach his lamprey to me anytime
R
Jeremy Wade was a fucking madman and I loved it.
A
Either the film’s backwards or he’s detaching it, not attaching it.
T
You are correct, but before the clip he did purposely attach the lamprey to his neck. I remember cringing when I watched it.
S
This is very obviously the aftermath of having attached it to himself. That’s what the title means. He attached a lamprey to himself, and now watch what’s happening after
A
> ..very obviously.. So no-one could look at this and think the lamprey attached itself and now he was trying to remove it?
S
Well, yeah I guess that could have happened. Yeah I’ll give you that.
Z
I loved this show, and had such a crush on him
F
Oh well, why not
T
Vampires be like “aww shit, that’s gonna taste like fish now.”
N
What a moron.
