Twitch streamer narrowly escapes dangerous encounter on fishing trip
Twitch streamer ‘SoFloWildlife’ is no stranger to the dangers of fishing, but this broadcaster was in for a surprise after narrowly escaping an encounter with a deadly barracuda.
IRL content creation has become a staple on both Twitch and YouTube in recent years, with streamers gearing up and setting out to capture the most incredible experiences they can think of. Whether it’s a wholesome moment during a painting stream, or going over-the-top tocreate their own version of Squid Game, some of the most memorable content in recent years has come from IRL streamers. Unfortunately, for Twitch partner ‘SoFloWildlife,’ a self-described “marine biologist, ecologist, [and] fisherman,” his latest journey out on the ocean almost ended in disaster when he came face-to-face with a deadly barracuda.
“That’s a nice one!” he exclaimed after finally getting their catch into the boat. “What a fight,” he continued, before confirming “[that’s] a barracuda!” He also made note of just how dangerous this particular fish can be: “They have ridiculous teeth.” Unfortunately for the Twitch streamer, he came a little closer to the aquatic predator’s mouth than he had planned. While bending down to grab the fish and deposit it in one of their coolers, SoFlo came face-to-face with its deadly teeth — literally.
“Chill fish! What the heck was that?” he exclaimed. “I feel like I just got punched in the lip. Luckily I didn’t get slashed there.” While the streamer emerged unharmed from the situation, it serves as a sobering reminder of just how deadly even smaller fish like a barracuda can be. We’ll just have to wait and see what other incredible catches SoFlo is able to drag up from the ocean.
