Plus #1. I am surprised he did not take the cover off and pull a larger fish out of there. Staged all the way. Just my

This was me and i promise you this is not staged. I have caught mudcats up to one pound in there. There is a pond about 300 yards away. Thats probably why there are fish.

WOW! You got me! Entertaining to say the lest.

Where I grew up there was a ~10 acre stream-fed lake that spillwayed under a roadway - there were 2 manhole covers like the young man fishes through in the sidewalk across the road from the south end of the pond.
My young buddy & I fabricated a hook to lift the covers (we were maybe 12).
We would catch trout & pickerel in the fast-moving dark water under the road. Don't know what ever possessed us to try that trick. One day we were putting the lid back and it dropped on my bud's toe and popped it like a grape. I flagged down a cop and he took us to a doctor's office & got it stitched up.
Near the "k" of Merrick Rd - here
They've widened the road in the 50+ years since, don't know if the covers are in the middle of Merrick Road or where they've gone.

Thats awesome

Thats pretty freaking cool bro thanks for sharing

thats crazy, what would have happened if you would have caught a bigger one that didn't fit through that tiny hole?

Reach under the drain and unhook it.

fuh fuh fuh fake.

For 1 that is just a Curb Inlet Box there is no water in it unless it is raining because it is higher grade than the actual storm drain pipe

Not to be too precise, but that is not a "Sewer", that is a storm drain. And if close enough to a retention pond it could hold fish. But, if it is holding enough water then its just an example of poor drainage in that neighborhood and could mean it is subject to flooding.

Only thing you's catch out of a sewer is rats and cockroaches. Trust me, you won't be finding any fish, alligators, or teenage mutant turtles in a real sewer.
