Yo, what's up y'all my name is Raynard Roy, welcome back to my channel Fishing Trip, check it

Special episode for y'all today man, so I was coming back from the wilderness for a cabin excursion that got cancelled
0:08
and as I was driving back I looked to the side of the freeway over here
0:12
and I saw this weird, Tentacon lake man-made something I surrounded by it, the gate was open, I saw people
0:22
saw a couple of trucks in here and a couple people fishing drove by this many times, I never thought about fishing it
0:30
I'm lying, anytime I drive around freeways and I see any water overpass, I think about fishing it
0:36
so I'm here to test it out man, I got um got my rattle trap, I'm just going to throw the rattle trap
0:40
since it's got the area I got a couple of other rods in there with some worms
0:44
and bobbers if need be I just know that this is a man-made
0:50
like flood reserve there's no fish in here, I mean they don't stock it
0:56
I don't see how fish can get here naturally so that's my goal today, my goal today is to see if I can catch anything out of this freeway lake
1:03
and become a legend I don't think I can do it, but we're going to try y'all
1:07
let's go I don't see any trespassing signs the gate is open
1:19
so you know we'll cross that bridge when we get here if the police show up
1:25
I'm just going to plead ignorance because I'm pretty ignorant to think there's any fish in here
1:34
oh my god get on the boat what shut the front door

what the hell is this are these like these apple snails that are invasive
4:10
