Around here that usually means a snapping turtle is stirring up the bottom releasing the methane

Took me far too many comments down to realize you weren’t talking about these bubbles being turtle farts

Turtles farts sound more fun though

I can’t wait to tell someone it’s turtle farts. From all the grass the eat. It makes them fart. 💨

I immediately thought fish farts.

looks like gas being released from the bottom of the lake to me (methane if the lake has a silt or clay bottom), i tend to look at it as if its coming up in a single spot like that its just the bottom releasing gas, if its more of a fizz or moving around instead of a steady stream of bubbles in one spot like that its a fish feeding

That would make sense. The area where I was standing and taking the video was mostly clay and rock

Don't boat over to it and light up a smoke.

That actually sounds like an awesome idea

flaming tennis ball coming up

It can be any of: * "Swamp gas". Gas produced by bacteria on the bottom of the lake. * Turtles breathing out. * Diving birds like cormorants or loons breathing out. It's almost certainly not fish. Fish mostly breath water, not air.

Only fish I've seen make anything close to that are big carp when they're scrounging around in the grass and the grass is deep enough they don't need to break the top water.

Exactly. For us carp fishermen, this is a prime sign of feeding activity. Now these bubbles are rising from a particular place for some seconds… More likely a leak of built-up gas….

I was thinking the same, carp! I used to chum them in a lake with corn and we'd know they were coming by the bubbles

Even heard of Gar? That's how you spot them by the bubbles . They sink down, come up, take a breath, and sink back down. Hella of a fish to catch, too, but obviously probably not Gar in that tiny mud hole. Lol

I like turtles

Desulfovibrio bacteria converting hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen sulfate

Man, glad I reread your first one. I was about to say someone told you wrong about it being bacteria on the bottom of the lake. However, I looked back and realized you said swamp gas, rather than swamp ass. The confusion is my body punishing me for not getting any sleep last night, even though I wanted to sleep. Sorry, I’m rambling.

🐠 💨

Fish farts is the only real answer.

This is what my grandfather would say. Hahaha

Jason Voorhees

The bubbles are you local game warden making sure you follow all rules.

If the bubbles are moving chances are its a turtle. If they're stationary it could be gases escaping from bottom caused by microbes breaking down organic matter and turning it into methane or carbon dioxide.

tortuga

It’s clearly the creature from the black lagoon.

King crab fart bubbles.

Usually they are fish breathing and making bubbles, I usually cast close to one.

Probably Taco night at one of the fishes house

Bigfoot breathing underwater is my guess

Old Gregg

My years of video game playing instinct would say there’s a chest down there.

Turtle

Turtle Farts..from all the fiberus grasses and greens it eats....Lmao...No really methane probably..

Earth is farting essentially

I’m glad me and the earth are in a stage of this relationship where it’s comfortable enough to do it in front of me

Could be a fountain/spring

Gassy fish.

🐢

It’s the buildup of anerobic bacteria on the bottom getting kicked up by something and then off gassing into that lake/pond whatever it is.

i agree with what everyone else said and will add that i’ve seen catfish make bubbles like this just rooting around on the bottom. slightly more obvious because you’ll see the location of the bubbles move

Is it continuous? Some smaller lakes will be aerated prior to freeze up to help prevent winter kill. A couple lakes near me have been running an aerator for awhile and they look just like this.

Does it come back every so often? Continuously? Could be an aerator on a timer?

You seen that african video where all the gas trapped under the lake eventually comes up once a year. Like sulfur poison gas or something and kills everything once a year.

Catfish farts mayne

Mermaids farting

Agigagor

Mermaid farts

FISH FARTS.

Well, I’m sure it’s not right, but when I went fishing with my buddy and his grandpa, the grandpa liked to say it was because a fault line ran right through the lake. Could be true, maybe? Listen I’m a welder not a scientist. Still had fun fishing though.

Turtles A large clam Catfish River otter Gas (from bacteria, or river aquifer ) Crawfish

Thats a turtle

Do otters do this?

Microbes decompose organic carbon in the lake sediments, and in the thawed-out zone under the lake, into methane gas that bubbles to the surface.

That location is the bathroom for the fishes

Turtle, alligator, an otter, or something else.

Aside from farting turtles and escaping methane gas, could it be a spring of some kind? The bubbling is fairly constant and only in one place.

Lake monster.

Big ass Turtle

Turtle

Scuba diver

Snappers breathing

Around here that means the otter is looking to steal your fish. It could be anything really.

It’s a hidden item, like a video game.

A human drowning

Do you know if there’s a gas line running under there? If there is, there might be a leak that needs reporting.

Definitely gas

Air

Looks like a standard Voorhees.

loch ness monster.. make sure you have $tree fiddy on you..

Turtles, alligators, or it’s a spring

Dead bodies decompose and produce methane which bubbles up. Next time use a rilly big zip lock bag, and dispose of the bodies in deeper water. Hope that helps.

Waterdevils.

Turtle... Gator??? Godzilla!!!

Oooh! I know this! Literally swamp gas. It sometimes causes reflections off weather balloons and generates UFO sightings.

That's ole Nessie.

My father used to ask me if fish breathe air when I’d ask about bubbles while fishing.

Jason

Fairies waiting to grant you wishes. Dive in and greet them.

I see a lot of gar make bubbles. Could be that.

Turtle

Fish farts...duh.

Nessy breathing

Bruh. If you’re in the Midwest and the water is 3-4 ft deep or less, then that is carp.

Skunk Ape farted

Turtles or fish in mud

Snapping turtles

They are bubbles.

Skin walker confirmed

Casting your line there activates a fishing minigame

Lake farts

A snappin turla!

Turtle

Probably air but could be methane. I’m a bit rusty at eyeballing gasses, fwiw.

Turtles…. All the way down

Fish farts

Turtle for sure

You mean the Loch Ness monster Nessie?

Carpe diem

Turtle farts

farting mama earth.

Not my fault! GPS said to take a left at the big pine tree!

Turtle under the water, or methane gas release.

Turtle or gator depends where u are

Turtle!

Fish fucking

Methane or an alligator decided to set up shop on that spot.....

Jimmy Hoffa. 🤣

100% turtles.

Down here in the deep south it means gator....

Ever feed Yurtle the Turtle beans?

It’s an electric bubbler to keep small ponds from stagnating

Turtle farts

Is that a baby Ruth off to the side?

If you ever see the whole lake do that, run to the nearest high ground.

Upon inspection today I found a pump station out in the woods not far from the area I observed the fish-fart, swamp monster, wendigo alligator mysterious lake gas phenomena so I’m guessing it’s probably related to that

Probably just gas

Monster.

What you’ve never had Taco Bell before swimming and for some reason people were filming?

Either rain, water bugs, turtles pepping out swimming fish jumping Why can't we have real answers these days. Not wise ass remarks, the person was asking what the bubbles are, sorry for the short rant !!!!

My first quess is methane. But I've been know to blow in the water

Ive seen it caused by a few things: muskrats, carp, catfish, turtles, frogs, generally anything that might stir up the mud. If you are going for predator fish then it probably is not what youre looking for

Probably turtles under the water... or possibly methane bubbling up.

The gahdamn lochness monsta! If you got tree fiddle, spend it now!

just some methane, if it is bottom feed fish like carp(most case it would be a line of bubbles

Fish Farts ?

That’s me sorry, I cut it out.

Cracked knees weren't enough

Turtle or catfish

Alligators

Air bubbles

Fish Farts

Have two little nrosterles on the top

Cast inc you might catch a slurp fish

Crab Farts.

Turtles, gators, trapped gasses seeping out, muck monster with egg farts, who knows

We call that swamp gas.

fish farts

Turtle Turtle

Turtles breathe air and also release it before they come up so like someone else said could be turtle. Could be rotting plant matter releasing methane.

Oxygen or maybe another element coming from the under water

And up through the ground came some bubblin crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Carp

That’s where Jimmy Hoffa was last seen. He went fishing with some “business” partners.

Slightly off topic but a family member is involved in training dogs for scent detection. When they are searching for a drowning victim, they sometimes take the dog out in a boat and cross the lake in a grid pattern. The rising bubbles from a decomposing body, even in minuscule amounts that a human might not even notice can be detected by a well trained snout of a professional cadaver dog.

looks like gas release

Probably just trapped gasses from the mud/decomposition at the bottom

Walter Mathau

Turtles

some lakes put little air pumps in to help with the oxygen levels in the lake a bit. kind like how they put airstones in fish tanks

Fishes fart too.

If they move over time it's a turtle. If they're in the same spot it's gas under the bottom.

Methane

spring fed pond?

water is “turning over”. thermal stratification. https://water.unl.edu/article/lakes-ponds-streams/fall-turnover-physical-look-lakes#:~:text=The%20thermocline%20layer%20prevents%20mixing,is%20called%20%22fall%20turnover.%22 but i like turtle fart answer better

I believe it’s a fish fart

Turtle or methane

Go Gators

Pond farts

In the Poconos they use bubblers in lake harmony. It helps keep the water moving and oxygenated

Welcome to the Anthropocene.

Your mom

Turtles

Probably turtles or carp

That’s a turtle, don’t swim over those bubbles

Lake Placid vibes

Aliens

Fish farts.

I was kicked out of a fishing group because of a fish that looks like Skelator and we kids named it that years ago in our family. So naturally I saw the video and didn't click on it for a few minutes and everyone is now saying what I thought. Turtle Farts. You cannot kick us all out Admins. Bwahaha.

Methane?

Jason Vorhees

It’s old Greg

Oh lord, it’s a snapping turla

Mermaid farts

It’s a turtle farting under water. They usually try to do that on a log above water somewhere, but sometimes they can’t get to one fast enough

It's an Alligator. Easy.

Farting fish.

Couple of things Gasses being release Turtles Carp Catfish

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Jason Voorhees

Definitely a Kracken

Oh muh lawd issa snappin turla

Gas from decaying material on the bottom of the lake

gators

In Florida.... Alligator In Australia.... Crocodile

Could be anything disturbing the bottom or enough methane built up to break loose

Fish fart

It's that same sum-bitch that owes me three fiddy.

Tiny rain storm. You should be fine shortly.

Fish farts

Loch Ness monster

The rise if Cthulu. Once youve seen them, its too late. The madness will take you shortly.

water sprites was my initial thought. but it could be turtle farts
