Okay, who's brave enough to try first?
You! Move!
Pick him up!
[ Screams ] Heh. See,
that's why you can't just grab any part of the crayfish.
Make a "C" hand, everyone.
Hm!
You must grab him from the back --
like so.
Ugh. So disrespectful,
putting them in a bucket
like common beach sand.
Jason is so annoying.
He acts like he owns the creek.
-I found one. -Don't touch it!
I left it there.
Ooh, as big as a lob-lob-lobster!
Bobby: My crayfish!
Pshaw!
That's nothing compared to...
Big Pinchy.
[ All gasp ]
Craig, Kelsey!

[ Applause ]
This is ridiculous.
Tony.
On average crayfish grow up to three inches in length.
You said as big as a whale?
[ Laughs ] [ Laughs ]
If JP said he saw Pinchy, then he saw him.
Then where is the proof?
I have proof.
He pinched me and left this.
Oh, I had one of those.
It's called a pimple.
[ Laughter ]
Hey, you want proof?
We'll find Big Pinchy and rub it all over your face.
I'd like that.
I want to be wrong once in my life.
Hmph!
Craig: Hello, all you crustacean skeptics out there.
This is Craig Williams, and we're here
at John Paul Mercer's house about to start our trek to find
Big Pinchy -- the creek's biggest crayfish.
Our guide today is the only kid ever in existence
to have seen him with his own eyes.
Craig, that's a very intense getup you've got there.
This is everything we need to get definitive
Big Pinchy proof.
Double flashlights to be ready for any lighting condition,
and I'm finally breaking out the Sports Scamps, trademark,
camera Grandpa got me for my birthday.
He says I'm a rascal, and it needs to be recorded.
Kelsey, would you please verify the date
and time for our records?
Uh, ah, okay.
It's, uh, it's Wednesday the 23rd,
3:06 P.M.
So, JP, tell us how you discovered Big Pinchy
all those years ago.
Well, it all started yonder in my neighbor --
uh, Carol's backyard.
I was chasing a butterfly.
[ Kids grunting ]
Location -- 50 paces from John Paul's house.
Barometric pressure...
[ Pops lips ] pleasant.
You hopped a fence to follow a butterfly?
Well, there -- there was no fence, then.
Carol actually put it up after she found me
in her yard -- so weird.
It's almost like she doesn't want me in here or something.
It's weird she doesn't want kids in her yard,
because she has a bunch of frozen ones.
That dog -- That dog is real!
Run!
[ All screaming ]
I need a boost, I need a boost!
Wahh!
Abandon yard!
Craig: Aaaahhhh!
Craig! Yer starf!
Staff! Give me your staff!
Heave ho! Whoa-hoa!
Aw, geez, I'm sorry.
I didn't remember Carol having that little marshmallow killer.
That little pup wasn't anything that we couldn't handle.
So, which way did the butterfly fly, JP?
Well, I was just lookin' up for a while,
following the butterfly as it danced under the treetops.
I remember a twist, a turn, a spin,
and then it got eaten by a bird.
And it was right about here that I got distracted by a tree
that looks frustrated with his children -- over there!
Hey, y'all, long time no tree.
[ Laughs ]
You were all but knee-high
last time I saw yeh.
Hey, Kelsey. You must be this tall to chill.
Ohh! My riblets!
Where to now?
Well, I-I wandered this way and crossed the creek
right over there through the bushes.
Whoa.
Oh man, it got deeper. [ Clears throat ]
This here water rising in the creek must be climate change.
Ahh! So wet!
After you, Kelsey.
Craig, turn the camera around, please.
-Oh! Okay! -Hup! Hup!
Hu-- waa!
Craig, turn around!
Hey, Craig, are you sure you want to do this?
The rocks are really slippery.
Yeah, you don't want to damage the camera.
You should probably just take off the helmet.
The whole point is to have the camera when we find Big Pinchy.
Wet butts lasts for minutes but proof lasts forever.
And so will the look on Jason's face!
Whoa!
Yeesh! That was close.
Your melon almost succumbed to Poseidon's slippery grasp,
Craig.
It was soon after that juncture
that I discovered the dark cave that is Big Pinchy's home.
I do not know what called me forward,
but it felt like the prickly finger of fate
was poking me in the back.
Ow!
A briar patch?
[ Grunting ]
These thorns are as sharp as dragon's toenails,
which, when not manicured, are very sharp.
Did you actually go through these, JP?
No. This wasn't even here back then.
Listen, guys, can we cut for a minute?
No, we can't.
We have to keep the camera rolling continuously.
No cuts -- so that nobody -- Jason -- can accuse us
of putting in a fake crayfish at the last second.
Okay, look, I like being Mr. Explorer-Sailor Guy and all,
but this stuff has been way more dangerous
than when I came through here before.
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I think we should turn back.
[ Sighs ] Yeah, I agree.
Maybe we can try a different route tomorrow.
If we go back to the creek tomorrow without proof,
Jason's gonna think JP was faking it,
and I'm not letting that happen!
Jason?
[ Grunting ]
Owie! Ouch! Ahh!
Oh, no! This cursed bramble swallowed him.
I won't let them take you, Craig!
Yaaaah! Kelsey! Wait!
I remember there being a dro--
[ Both screaming ]
Ugh!
Ohh.
[ Gasps ] My camera!
Oh, why must I always destroy everything Grandpapa gifts me?
Now even if we see Big Pinchy,
we won't be able to prove it to Jason.
If we don't have proof, this was all a huge waste of time.
A waste of time?
[ Thunder cracks ]
Quick! shelter!
Ugh!
I can hear Jason laughing right now.
"I was right! I was always right!"
Okay, I'm starting to think
that this has only ever been about Jason
because you've said Big Pinchy like zero times
and you've said Jason's name, like, 10 million.
It's because without the proof, Jason's going to --
Oh! Oh-oh-ho, oh! There!
Jason again! 10 million and one!
Y-You care so much what Jason would think about me,
but have you asked me
how I would feel about what Jason thinks?
Guess what? He's a rump.
I make it my policy not to care what rumps think about me.
The only thing I care about today
was showing my besties the coolest thing ever --
the pinchter, the grand pinchereno.
Sorry. Big Pinchy. That's his name.
JP's right.
And any kid that doubts Big Pinchy can eat my sword!
[ Sighs ] I-I don't know why Jason makes me
so, like, so -- ugh.
-Competitive? -Jealous?
[ Chirps ]
Ugh, I guess I just don't like it
when he makes fun of us. But you're right,
I shouldn't care what Jason thinks.
Sorry I put you guys in so much danger today.
Ugh, what was I thinking?
Safety is, like, my number-two next to maps!
Nah, it's okay.
Nobody was hurt, except for your camera.
But now what?
I mean, we're caught in the rain,
h-having nothing to eat in a cave...
JP! Is this the cave?
Well, shiver me timbers.
It is that cave.
There should be the cave etching that I left last time.
Craigy boy, time to shine!
Oh-hoh! This is me and butterfly,
that's the creek...
Kelsey: Sure, I can totally see it.
This path led me to this hidden chamber!
Oh, wow.
Oh! Oh! And -- And you see that rock
that looks like a bear? Under the bear,
that's where I found Big Pinchy for the first time!
I have no way of knowing if Big Pinchy still lives here.
Maybe he married, had kids, and moved to an apartment.
But if he's anywhere, he's under this rock.
[ Grunts ]
Little help here, please?
All: One, two, three!
[ All grunt ]
-Holy moly! -He's huge!
Well, well, there.
Do you remember me?
When I saw you in between those rocks all those years ago,
I thought you were trapped and needed help.
But I guess I was a fool, as green as pea soup.
That was your home, but that made me think,
and that thought never left me.
How can he live in that small pool?
What would he eat?
I must find him again with my lifetime companions.
I'm glad to see you're all right, old man.
I brought you booty from overseas.
And, hey, I'll be back to check on you again,
Big Pinchy.
Phone. What?
Take a picture with your phone.
How many times you gonna see a giant crayfish
with a lollipop in your life?
Nah, man.
We have this eyeball camera and heart drive
to store this memory -- no stupid pictures for Jason.
Yeah, I want pictures, Craig.
