Catching giants on fake crab Topwater lure! #fishing #fishingvideo #fish
Where can you get a fake crab like that? It's one of the practical questions beneath catchingcyle's topwater-lure Short, alongside a request for his rod and reel setup. Another viewer offers a less technical explanation: the fish must be acting for the camera.
Cyle's September upload, titled “Catching giants on fake crab Topwater lure! #fishing #fishingvideo #fish”, has added roughly 30,000 views in a day, six times its usual daily pace. Nearly a month after it was posted, the artificial crab is still giving viewers something to discuss beyond the size of the catch.
Several comments replay Cyle's commentary about the crab suddenly disappearing, while others pick up on his casual description of a fish as a little baby. The contrast between his idea of small and theirs becomes its own fishing joke.
There's a newer draw on the channel, too: his October catch-and-cook upload has reached about 3.4 million views. Cyle's stated interest covers freshwater, saltwater and everything between, with these two videos offering different hooks: fooling a fish and catching dinner.
