  • Damn.

  • Isn't generating as much power today.

  • Operators have cut the amount of water coming through the turbines.

  • The water's gone down quite dramatically, and what it's done is exposed all these rocks here.

  • So those are just perfect ambush spots for predators.

  • Just a rock to hide behind a little little slack water, some prey fish struggling in the current.

  • Whether this will work to my advantage, I've yet to see.

  • I've seen a little bit of activity.

  • Come on, entice them onto this has brought me color off plastic.

  • Yeah, and if I can or will I be able to set the hook in the rock hard jaw?

  • Well, it's half a catfish.

  • They are still alive.

  • It's just bean being severed on.

  • You could see something chopped.

  • There something shop there.

  • I'm looking for a creature that can inflict a sheer like laceration on amputation by guillotine.

  • And I think I've found the evidence I need.

  • I'm just I'm just mentally comparing that Thio a certain part of the human anatomy.

  • This is actually a bone down the middle.

  • It's got It's got a vertebral column.

  • It's severed through that.

  • That is pretty gruesome and pretty impressive.

  • The perpetrator is somewhere right beneath me in the shadow of the dam.

  • I have to strike while the iron's hot.

  • If it's half the beast I've heard it is, it's still going to be hungry.

  • Fish on?

  • No.

  • With every leap, it's virtually Impenetrable.

  • Jaws threatened to throw my hook.

  • Yes, with a head like a pit bull, this massive beast weighs in at more than £40.

  • Look at the teeth on DDE, the size of the jaw muscles that are going to be inside that gil flat there, a bit like bolt cutters.

  • Really, those jaws, particularly near the angle, Tremendous power.

  • I've opened the jaws of much bigger fish without a second thought, but there's no way I'm going to try and manipulate this slippery monster's mouth.

  • It's actually making me think of a spring loaded man trap.

  • It's not so much the size or sharpness of the teeth.

  • It is sheer force that you've got operating on these jewels, and if you're in any doubt, you only have to call to mind the catfish sliced in half Any part of human anatomy that gets in those jaws once you're in it.

  • You're not gonna get out.

  • I've seen the bloody mess it's inflicted on people along the river.

  • Ferocious encounters I've uncovered teach a harsh lesson to the people living along Argentina's river of blood.

  • Down.

  • You either eat or you get eaten.

  • It's a bloody food chain that mostly happens out of our sight on beyond our awareness.

No, that's just been sliced clean through.
