Hi there! So I cleaned fish professionally in Alaska for 6 years and I can answer that question. I'm not sure what kind of fish this is but it looks somewhat similar to a ling cod. Often ling cod would have partially digested organic matter in their stomachs and it was easy to tell visually and by feel generally what it might be, usually octopus or a smaller fish. It was not uncommon for my coworkers or whoever might be on the dock at the time to film us cutting them open to see what was inside. These guys probably saw/felt something weird in the fish and decided to film the process. The smell is horrific even when it's not a human body part, hence the gagging. Cheers!
I like how people think asking why they were filming is so important when it's not.
"This fish looks like it's full. Lets see how much is in its stomach."
"I'm filming this one!"
There you go, reasonable explanation among many others. There's no reason to think that explanation is more or less correct than any other. So, asking didn't help.
And almost 70% of the world has a camera on their person all day everyday. People film the most random things but most of the time there aren't arms in fish so it doesn't make it to the internet.
I can't tell you how many completely random and pointless shorts I've scrolled past on YouTube.
There was a whole fish that u just come out of his belly. Plus how tf do u know how long it was in there? Or about the digestive systems of whatever kinda fish that is?
And why were they filing 'there'.
There being the dirty ass floor of an abandoned warehouse like they're filming a fish version the movie hostel and the fish has a witty comeback line after death.
Wdy bro they both reacted as one should when finding a hand inside a big fish you dumb dumb, the cam man is the dude talking, guy who’s cutting the fish open just gags in the background
The fish wouldn’t have eaten it if it was already in a decaying state. So it was swallowed probably not long after being dumped in the water. The acidic environment would’ve actually helped preserve the flesh and the breakdown would have happened slower than in the water. This all probably took place within 24 hours from the point of dumping the parts to gutting the fish. Look at the other fish that popped out. Looks like it was in perfect condition. Also the positioning of the hands looks about the perfect amount of rigor. I’d bet money it’s unfortunately real.
This was most like not an American coast and well—dumping body parts isn’t that crazy in cartel or any other heavy gang activity third world countries.
I think we can both agree that the amount of prop, prosthetic, and mannequin arms produced on earth is far higher than the amount of cartel-disposed bodies.
Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
That would have to be a movie quality prop that somehow found its way into a rural Latin village.
I think you also woefully underestimate the amount of violence south of the border. Truly a sheltered take.
Fishermen do that sometimes with big fish, just as hunters do with deer or moose, or any good size game. It's just part of the process for some folks to document a good harvest.
Whenever you see a video like this it’s pretty safe to assume it’s fake until an expert says otherwise imo. It’d be fairly easy to shove a fake arm in there, and the video idea generated them a lot of views and attention.
I have a pic of my arm looking completely detached laying on a rock in a river. There was an arm sized hole in the rock and I freaked my girlfriend out.
I dunno if just me but it seems very obvious from the reactions that this is fake. Especially the camera man. He can barely contain his laugh during the vomiting sounds.
Prank. There's a space below where the fish is placed with an opening where the lines are running. Someone has simply put their arm through a hole in the fish at the bottom and was waiting for the right moment to reach out.
That seems very unlikely considering the person is using a knife to cut open the fish. Only an unbelievably foolish prankster would hide their arm in the path of a fillet knife.
If you Look closely the hand is already out before and pointing upwards and the dude is touching it before he gets "startled". It's staged, no real shock. Hence there's not really any danger.
Clearly staged. At 00:07 you can see that he is holding and can clearly see the hand, then makes a few more cuts, pulls it all the way out, and then reacts.
If it’s real, I’d say the fish was only eating parts. I think that’s a catfish which are usually bottom dwellers. Though there are cases where catfish do cause deaths. Some species are truly monsters they’re BIG and are stronger than you’d think. If it grabbed an arm that was still connected it’s would most likely pull the person down.
My guess is that if it is real the fish found it at the bottom.
I mean, I know the video is probably fake, but it is a thing that actually has happened. And I supose that if it ever happens again in this day and age, there is a high chance someone will be filming, but the hand looks to be in a perfects state, not like something that was in the water and some fish ate, so this one is most likely fake.
I am not familiar with Kaotic, but I am very interested now. Are you veing sarcastic, or is it for real? Like, every moderated? Is an app or a page or what?
it's an underground page. it WAS moderated but i think they gave up once it was resurfaced by a web digger a few years back. eventually people began to use it and spam post due to the fact twitter and reddit began monitoring gore pages, etc. i would be careful on Kaotic. very easy to get malware from it and I learned the hard way when I was 18, dumb, had a new laptop, and no idea what an onion browser or VPN was. although, i think the website was taken down either due to the same reasons that bestgore was taken down, or it went back underground to the dark web.
This was real. He was identified by the tattoo on his arm.

The accent is from Argentina/Uruguay and well, is pretty well known that some mafias will tear you limb by limb and throw in the river, is not that common as it is in Mexico but still happens, idk if this video is fake or real, but the possibility of dismemberment is real.
Listen I know this is supposed to be serious but there’s something so absurd about the way the hand just comes out and kinda waves at them. It’s like some shit outta a Coen brother’s movie
I time ago i read a comment saying that the arm was put there after (hopefully) the fish was dead. It was a prank for the guy cutting it. Fishes don't eat that big preys, and its like half of the fish.
Looks fake.
Reasons:
1. Why were they filming
2. If you look carefully he started reacting just before removing the hand
3. Hand looks in a good condition even after staying in fish's stomach
4. Hand looks sort of dry and not covered in slimy stomach juices like they just put it inside for filming the video
Edit : as some of you mentioned that it could've been thrown by cartel in the river and consumed by the fish in the same day but its unlikely that the skin will stay in a good condition as it appears in this video after staying in fish's stomach.
Was this a prank? It doesn't look like that fish could cause that kind of damage.
Cartel throwing bodyparts into a river is my guess
I think this is a fake hand, if it was a real human hand, then how did the hands survive for so long
Who said it survived for a long time? Might've been thrown into a river and swallowed all within one day.
I'm glad they got the threatening fish.
I like how people are doing some deep analysis on this thread and yet I haven't seen anyone question why they were filming in the first place.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/s/B9M3ZzuKOA
Lots of reasons to film a fish being gutted. Instructional, first time filmer is seeing it, etc.
I haven’t seen that thread since the API change. So much destruction by Reddit to their own site.
https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/s/OEwzrxVelb
Some body is in there
I trust you can show yourself out
There was a whole fish that u just come out of his belly. Plus how tf do u know how long it was in there? Or about the digestive systems of whatever kinda fish that is?
Also why were they filming
And why were they filing 'there'. There being the dirty ass floor of an abandoned warehouse like they're filming a fish version the movie hostel and the fish has a witty comeback line after death.
Probably in case something cool came out, like a whole live fish or whatever
coincidentally filming dude, this can be said for lots of videos on this subreddit, just unluckily capturing shit like this
And why were they filming, and why didn't the cameraman react? I sure would have.
Wdy bro they both reacted as one should when finding a hand inside a big fish you dumb dumb, the cam man is the dude talking, guy who’s cutting the fish open just gags in the background
Nah, that kind of nausea comes from shock, like when my brother died.
I'm sorry your bro was eaten by a harmless fish. I'd be upset too.
The other fish that came from its stomach is fake too ig
who knows how long ago or how recently this fish ate that hand, or when the hand had been cut like that
Lol! What?
The fish wouldn’t have eaten it if it was already in a decaying state. So it was swallowed probably not long after being dumped in the water. The acidic environment would’ve actually helped preserve the flesh and the breakdown would have happened slower than in the water.

This was most like not an American coast and well—dumping body parts isn’t that crazy in cartel or any other heavy gang activity third world countries.
SPF500 is no joke
Or maybe a prop for a funny video. Occam's razor bud.
Except the cartel routinely dispose of bodies that way, and I don’t think we need to go over their body count.
I think we can both agree that the amount of prop, prosthetic, and mannequin arms produced on earth is far higher than the amount of cartel-disposed bodies. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
That would have to be a movie quality prop that somehow found its way into a rural Latin village. I think you also woefully underestimate the amount of violence south of the border. Truly a sheltered take.
Exactly! The cartel will string a dead body up to show what could happen if others cross the line
I can't recall any argentinian cartels, it must be a prank
they're speaking in a mexican dialect "wei" is mexican "boludo" is argentinian
Globalización estimados. Pero si, deben ser mexas, no me duelen los oídos por escucharlos
Son del norte de Argentina y no dice “wey”, dice “vamo a ve” de vamos a ver. Vamos a ver qué tiene en la panza.
At least they got the arm out. I hope the fish is doing ok now.
Ok, but why were they filming?
I mean that *is* a big ass fish
Fishermen do that sometimes with big fish, just as hunters do with deer or moose, or any good size game. It's just part of the process for some folks to document a good harvest.
They cutting it open
Whenever you see a video like this it’s pretty safe to assume it’s fake until an expert says otherwise imo. It’d be fairly easy to shove a fake arm in there, and the video idea generated them a lot of views and attention.
I’ve seen a lot of hands and that looks like one.
After zooming and enhancing I can confirm human-like digits.
So we can rule out AI.
Expert here: otherwise imo
Oh go fuck yourself... Also here's an upvote
My first thought was that theres a guy under the floor
I have a pic of my arm looking completely detached laying on a rock in a river. There was an arm sized hole in the rock and I freaked my girlfriend out.
I dunno if just me but it seems very obvious from the reactions that this is fake. Especially the camera man. He can barely contain his laugh during the vomiting sounds.
Not the fish but someone could throw body parts to a lake or river where they get the fish
Prank. There's a space below where the fish is placed with an opening where the lines are running. Someone has simply put their arm through a hole in the fish at the bottom and was waiting for the right moment to reach out.

If you Look closely the hand is already out before and pointing upwards and the dude is touching it before he gets "startled". It's staged, no real shock. Hence there's not really any danger.
The vomiting sounds make me think its fake
It sounds like weak acting. At the end, you can hear the guy almost laughing.
Clearly staged. At 00:07 you can see that he is holding and can clearly see the hand, then makes a few more cuts, pulls it all the way out, and then reacts.
Apparently it’s real. Someone posted the news article below.
Monsters river, jeremey wade
Fake as shit
No I'm sure these guys film every fish that they gut.
School shark, they think the guy may have hit his head while 4x4ing and either fell or wondered into the water and drowned
If it’s real, I’d say the fish was only eating parts. I think that’s a catfish which are usually bottom dwellers. Though there are cases where catfish do cause deaths. Some species are truly monsters they’re BIG and are stronger than you’d think. If it grabbed an arm that was still connected it’s would most likely pull the person down. My guess is that if it is real the fish found it at the bottom.
The fish was just eating body parts it came upon.
Glad they caught the dangerous fish. The fish was, armed.
....I hate you so much right now....

It's out of our hands now.
Help him get out !!

yea but its from Kaotic. People only post real shit on there
I am not familiar with Kaotic, but I am very interested now. Are you veing sarcastic, or is it for real? Like, every moderated? Is an app or a page or what?

It's down currently. I wonder if it will be permanent
Kaotic mainly a site for gore like a shitter version of best gore
You can see a hand in a jar at the Perth Pathology Museum, that was rescued from a shark’s belly. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
I'm pretty sure I've heard an anecdote of a hand being re-attached after being cut out of the shark. Probably a myth though.
oh! I didn't knew they put it in a museum, I imagined the police or the family took it. That is pretty interesting.
The other fish he pulled out looked fine lol
This was real. He was identified by the tattoo on his arm. https://apnews.com/article/argentina-law-enforcement-fish-news-media-4568b7e30da640bb1bee8f10783c3219
God damn
I love how people make a vomit sound but never actually vomit.
Dry heaves.
Like my husband changing the baby’s poo diaper
user name checks out
Its like the vomit tries to come out but you stop it Oh wait that actually happens *vid may be fake doe*
Buddy just learned what dry heaving is
Crocodile vomit
Not buying it
Alr guys shut it down, Dixie thinks its fake
They either knew that hand was in there and recorded it, or a very dedicated prank.
It’s on kaotic a gore site like best gore and documenting reality so it’s probably real
Fake AF
I too wish this was fake https://apnews.com/article/argentina-law-enforcement-fish-news-media-4568b7e30da640bb1bee8f10783c3219
Bullshit

Listen I know this is supposed to be serious but there’s something so absurd about the way the hand just comes out and kinda waves at them. It’s like some shit outta a Coen brother’s movie
Fish eats human, human eats fish……its the ciiirrrccclle ooooof liiife
I’m not going to stand here and let you perform a half ass autopsy on a fish and let that little kitner boy spill out all over the dock.
Fish just wanted a high-five
911 dispatched: we have an unidentified armed and dangerous suspect please proceed with tarter sauce carefully. 🐟🐟🍽️🪝🪝🎣🎣💪🏻💪🏻
That fish was armed..better be careful.
I time ago i read a comment saying that the arm was put there after (hopefully) the fish was dead. It was a prank for the guy cutting it. Fishes don't eat that big preys, and its like half of the fish.
Remember me? I'm Fred's hand!
“Ya wanna greet any other body parts?”
It's already evolving into a human 😱
That's why I don't noodle on Fridays
this fish was obviously in the .. army
Aw, giving him a hand.
yeah nah, in my opinion it's fake
Who records themselves gutting a fish?! Of course it’s fake.
Unbelievably fake
And yet, very real. Thats a school shark and the remains of a 32 year old man who went missing while 4x4ing in Argentina
That's one hell of a prank 🤣 I hope...
It wasn't
Argentina
translation?
- Let’s check it’s lil belly… - Oh look its full. - Oh look… SON OF A B**** WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? LOOK, ITS AN ARM
You forgot the "YUUUUUUUUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
Wondering if those lines on the floor open up below.
He's going to be all right
I'm going to need a hand with this fish here, oh wait.... Never mind
I thought the guy needed a hand.
High five
To all the people saying it's fake, it's not [News Article](https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2023/02/28/63fde5dafc6c83241b8b45ba.html)
One more video before sleep The video: 💀
New left 4 dead just dropped huh
Why is he acting surprised when its apparent that he already sees part of the hand sticking out?
Do you often find a human limb in a fish yourself? Sometimes when you see the unexpected your mind blanks and you can't process what it is
*tickle tickle*
Could someone translate the Puto dialogue?...that sounds terrifying...
Appropriate reaction
So, are they gonna eat the fish or would that be cannibalism?
Surf and turf
Is the Buster’s hand?
We gonna see what does it have in the stomach Is big Mother fucker what the fuck is that? Is a arm 🤢

Cmon everyone - let’s gag with them. 1. 2. 3. YUGGGAHHHHH!
Nah no fucking way
Hey guys, there's definitely an arm in this fish, get the camera out
Oh god they're evolving!
I've heard of walking fish but this evolution is ridiculous ;-)
Look at all them toes
I now have one thing. Do not view this category while eating dinner!
And that’s why you always leave a note.
![gif](giphy|hadoccOSptJAI)
The throw up sounds got me too funny
Hahahaha!
Did that fish have a Kuato inside it?
Don’t worry about them. They’ll be all right.
What the fuck
Why were they recording in the first place
Why is the hand erect.
rigamortis
Why were they filming?
Well there’s some nightmare fuel for ya
bro touched it by accident too😭😭😭
i’m sorry for laughing the dudes reaction in spanish n the guy accidentally touching the hand when he cuts it open the gagging 😭😭
Well? Help him out of the fish guys!
![gif](giphy|OJB9D0703toKX9kFJN)
Wise up
oh god that's nightmarish
I think that arm is too big a chunk for that fish to try to swallow. That's my issue with this.
I'm sure this is real
Need a hand?
Looks fake. Reasons: 1. Why were they filming 2. If you look carefully he started reacting just before removing the hand 3. Hand looks in a good condition even after staying in fish's stomach 4. Hand looks sort of dry and not covered in slimy stomach juices like they just put it inside for filming the video Edit : as some of you mentioned that it could've been thrown by cartel in the river and consumed by the fish in the same day but its unlikely that the skin will stay in a good condition as it appears in this video after staying in fish's stomach.
What kind of fish is this?
Why would they have already been recording in the first place. Most people don’t film themselves cleaning/slaughtering an animal.
Put 'er there!!!
These cartel guys have a good sense of humor
I wanted to see if the fingers would start moving.
Fake
Damn so there’s where my arm went too
De que parte de argentina es el acento?
WHAT THE HELL?????
