Tho I must admit that I would never get that close to the surface with my bare hands while doing this.

    I can’t tell from the video if the water is just muddy or if it’s actually, y’know, gross. Is it safe to eat the fish from that river?

    Also, I’d always heard they didn’t do that unless they were starving. Which makes me think not much is surviving in that water, making me think it might not be safe to eat the fish :/

    Though, I imagine if you’re desperate for protein, such things are secondary concerns at best

      Water can be like this when it rains a day or a couple hours before. Every river become like this when it rains. It is perfectly fine to eat fish from this river.

      the issue today is thinking that mud is the definition of dirt, that river is probably 100 times cleaner than any tank/pond/lake used to farm fish, also i swan in pont that were way muddier, with piranhas too, sometimes
