Young man catches fish from sewer system outside his home

A teenager from Katy, near Houston in Texas has taken to using the sewer grate in front of his home to catch fish.



It's 16-year-old Kyle Naegeli's hobby. And the Katy High School junior is quite good at it. He claims to have caught hundreds of fish using this method.

Naegeli has been a drain angler for four years now, using a hook and fishing line, with hot dogs (“the cheap ones” he says) and shad fish acting as bait.

“Sometimes it takes a few hours to catch something,” he says, maintaining that sewer fishing takes patience. Naegeli doesn't eat the sewer fish, owing to its questionable origins. The fish swim into the sewer line from a nearby pond.

It's the storm water drain, we call them sewers too. But yes, that's also gross and, yes, sometimes the emergency overflow for our actual sewers go into natural water sources. It's shitty!
