- [Coyote] I got something moving
right in front of me there.
- [Mark] Where is it?
- Right here, right here, right here!
I'm going, I'm going, ready?
(yelling underwater)
I got it!
Hold on!
- [Mark] You all right?
- [Coyote] I got it, I got it, I got it!
It is huge!
(wild adventure music)
Okay, but like, what time? When?
Okay, hold on a second.
Mark, are you rolling that camera yet?
- [Mark] Yep. Just got it on.
- Sorry, I'm trying to talk to my camera guy.
So you said somebody saw it 15 minutes ago?
All right, we're on the dirt path right now.
Aw man, this is crazy.
So you said it's huge, and you're confirmed sighting?
All right, we're heading out there now.
I've gotta get the kayak and get on the water,
and okay, we'll keep you posted.
Yeah, if you want to bring people out to the top
of the lake, let me know.
All right, let everybody at the park know. Okay.
All right, dude, I gotta just go.
All right, I'm going.
I will meet you--
- [Mark] Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Here, take your walkie, it's on channel 4.
I'm gonna be talking to you.
Go for it man, I'll meet you up there.
- Oh, guys, this is crazy.
This is absolutely crazy.
I'm gonna lose my sunglasses here.
When somebody spots something this big,
all you do is you just run.
I've gotta get the kayak as quick as I can.
Oh, this is gonna be crazy.
All right, if this is the north end of the lake right here,
this is where it was spotted,
and if we can land this, it's gonna be huge.
Mark, come in, can you hear me?
- [Mark] Copy that.
What's going on?
- I am almost to the kayak.
Start making your way, we're on the north end of the lake
and I will try to meet you out there.
Just keep an eye on my signal.
If I see it, I'm jumping for it.
Okay, the GoPros are rolling,
I'm about to head out on the water.
Ah, you live for moments like this.
I can not believe it, okay.
I'm just gonna slowly take my time.
Slow down, Coyote.
Slow down a little bit.
The last thing I want to do
is scare it away from the surface.
You guys may be wondering to yourselves,
Coyote, are you nervous?
I'll tell you what,
when something this big is possibly just in front of you,
trust me, you are nervous.
All right, gotta get to the north edge of the lake.
We're just about there, guys.
All right, I'm gonna stand up and start looking.
- [Mark] I haven't seen anything yet.
- [Coyote] The water's crystal clear.
If something's here, I'm definitely going to see it.
All right guys, I'm slowly moving through the weeds.
A lot of lily pads.
Oh, this is good.
Mark? - Yeah.
- I got something moving right in front of me there.
- [Mark] Where?
- Right in the lily pads, just in front of me,
just off the left side of the boat.
Hold on.
- [Mark] Where is it?
- Right here, right here, right here!
I'm going, I'm going, ready?
- [Mark] Yeah, go!
(yelling underwater)
You got it? You got it?
- I got it! Hold on!
- [Mark] You all right?
- I got it, I got it, I got it!
It's super big!
It is
click bait!
(laughter)
Can you believe that?
Now, the Brave Wilderness Channel is notorious
for never clickbaiting videos.
We always deliver on our promise,
but today we thought we would do something extra special.
Now, I know I told you that something big
was showing up today, right?
- [Mark] Something huge, actually.
- Something huge.
And everybody thought it was probably
an enormous snapping turtle.
- [Mark] Well, wait, didn't we tell everybody
what it was in the title?
- Well, yeah, but did we spell it right?
- [Mark] Oh, I think I spelled it backwards.
- Oh, you didn't!
- Whoops.
- Oops. - Sorry guys.
- Well, hey. there it is, guys. Clickbait.
But there's always something behind the clickbait,
is there not?
- [Mark] Yeah, usually there's always something
right behind the clickbait.
- Are you ready? - Yeah.
- Here we go. One.
Two.
Three.
- [Mark] What is that?
- The clickbait is, are you guys ready?
I'm so excited right now!
My first book!
- [Mark] What?
- Can you guys believe it?
Absolutely amazing!
Look at that.
All right, let's get this thing
into a controlled environment,
so we can get it up close for the cameras. Woo!
- [Mark] Nice.
- What a catch!
- [Mark] Coyote, what'd you find?
- Well, we did it guys.
We actually made a clickbait video.
Now, hopefully everybody out there watching
took that in good spirits.
We really appreciate all the amazing comments
where you guys write in and say,
"Brave Wilderness is the only channel
that doesn't clickbait!"
So we figured, today, since we're announcing
something so huge, why not actually clickbait?
Let's get rid of that and talk about this.
Coyote Peterson's Brave Adventures,
Wild Animals in a Wild World.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself,
all right Coyote, you're out there
with the team making videos,
when did you possibly have time to write a book?
I'm sure a ghostwriter wrote this book.
No. No ghost writer wrote this book.
It was written by me, with a little bit of help
from the team.
Chance and Mark both had their input with the chapters,
and it's amazing.
I am so proud to have written this book,
and it was inspired by a lot of the adventures
that we have had.
Now, the book is filled with a bunch
of incredible illustrations from some amazing artists,
they are absolutely breathtaking.
I think we could probably give you a tease
of a couple of the images right here.
- [Mark] Yeah, let's take a sneak peek.
- Yeah, look at that!
These are pretty cool, right?
Okay, let's look at some of the illustrations
from Chapter 1, The Dragon.
Now that starts when I was eight years old
and I caught my first enormous snapping turtle.
This thing, when I was eight years old,
seemed like a world record.
The thing nearly dragged me out into the lake
and drowned me, but in the end,
oh wait, I can't give out what happens in the story.
You're gonna have to read chapter 1 to see what happens,
but trust me, it is nail biting excitement and adventure.
Now, I'm sure you're all thinking,
"I needed to get this book yesterday."
Unfortunately, it's not available until September 19th.
Barnes & Noble, Amazon, pretty much any bookstore
or place you can buy books will have this book.
However, you can pre-order the book right now
from Amazon.com, and to do that,
just click in the link right here,
or in the video description below.
- [Mark] So you could be
one of the first ones to get it if you pre-order.
- You can be.
Now, pay attention to our social media feeds,
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, because we will be giving away
several autographed copies leading
up to the release of the book,
and what's even better is that this fall,
I will be going on a tour, hopefully--
- [Mark] What? A tour?
- Yeah! A tour!
A tour!
Hopefully to a city near you so that I can meet
some of the wonderful and brave members
of the Coyote pack in person.
That is going to be awesome.
- [Mark] I know a lot of people out there
are going to be excited about the tour.
We get so many people writing in.
- Yeah, and I can't tell you guys how much it means to us.
What do we have now, 6.2 million pack members and counting.
- [Mark] We might need to change the name to Mega-Pack.
- I know, right? It's amazing.
And, honestly guys, from the bottom of my heart
and speaking on behalf of the crew
and the team that made this book,
we could not do this without you.
Every single chapter that I wrote,
I sat there and I thought about all the kids
and the families that are out there
that would sit down at night or on Saturday mornings
reading chapters, imagining these adventures,
and then hopefully getting outside
to have adventures of their own.
So make sure to pick up the book guys.
It's coming soon, pre-order it now,
and don't worry, there's plenty more to come.
I'm Coyote Peterson,
be brave,
stay wild,
make sure to order a book.
We'll see ya on the next adventure!
- [Mark] No more clickbait, right?
- No more clickbait!
If you are excited about my first book,
Coyote Peterson's Brave Adventures,
make sure to go back and watch
one of the episodes that inspired it all,
where I get dangerously close to the American Alligator.
And don't forget, subscribe so you can join me
and the crew on this season of Dragon Tails!
