About

Girl With Trout Video, also known as the Trout Lady Video, Tassie Trout Lady, Using A Trout For Clout or 1 Girl 1 Trout, is an explicit viral video and piece of shock media involving a woman on a fishing boat with a trout inside her vagina. The video was reportedly filmed by an Australian couple in Tasmania and first surfaced in January 2023. It was also purportedly accompanied by a video showing the couple having sex in a cemetery on top of the grave of deceased artist David Hammond Chapman. It later spread to Reddit's /r/Unexpected in January 2023, then to Twitter and elsewhere online. Tasmanian police investigated the video as it spread, likening it to bestiality and animal abuse. Additionally, the Facebook page of Kingston Animal Hospital in Tasmania released a statement on the video, claiming that the Tassie Trout Lady was an ex-employee at the veterinarian clinic. In August 2024, Catherine June Lee was accused of bestiality in an Australian court concerning the Trout Lady Video.

Origin

On January 24th, 2023, Twitter^[1] user No2ofTheBLB tweeted a trimmed video of a woman on a boat with a camo baseball cap being filmed by a man who moved the camera down to her naked, private area to reveal a trout that'd been put inside her vagina. The video received roughly 180,200 views in one day (screenshot shown below).

Spread

Later on January 24th, 2023, the video was shared to Reddit on the /r/Unexpected^[2] sub by a since-deleted Redditor who titled the video, "Using a Trout for clout." The post was removed by the subreddit's moderators shortly after, who stated:

This is animal abuse, which is against rule 13 of this sub.
It is also an illegal act in most countries, and viewing it is an illegal act in many.
Do not post this crap in the sub.

On January 25th, 2023, the Australian news outlet Mercury published an article^[3] titled, "Couple film themselves having sex on grave in Cressy," which covered "disgraceful footage" of a "man and woman having sex on a grave in Tasmania." The grave in question was that of deceased Tasmanian artist David Hammond Chapman at St Mark’s Anglican Cemetery, Pisa, at Cressy. According to Mercury, Tasmanian police were investigating the video after it was submitted to Mercury. A spokesperson for the police department stated, "No formal report has been made to Tasmania Police regarding the video, and it is unknown if the matter occurred in Tasmania.”

Later on January 25th, Australian news outlet News.com.au also published an article^[4] about the explicit video reportedly from Tasmania. However, News.com.au additionally mentioned a secondary video that showed the couple "using a live trout to play out a sexual act on a boat."

Also on January 25th, 2023, the video was discussed by anons in 4chan's /pol/ ^[5] board (shown below). One anon wrote, "Apparently she owns 2 Vets in Hobart. Imagine ruining your own life by having a video out there of being fucked by a fish." This statement is unconfirmed.
