YouTuber Bill, better known as “Fishing with Oh Dad!”, recently experienced a whirlwind of unexpected fame, largely thanks to a viral TikTok video by user Kindpenguins. The clip showcased his delightful fishing content, propelling his subscriber count to over one million.
How a TikTok Clip Changed Everything
On November 21, a TikTok account called ‘PudgyKindness’ shared a heartwarming video featuring Bill’s fishing adventures. The caption read: “So I was scrolling through YouTube videos with no views, and found this old man who was making videos to no viewers. He loves to go fishing and showing off his gear. He enjoys life to its fullest.”
A Journey of Resilience
The video took a poignant turn as it highlighted Bill’s remarkable comeback from a severe accident, where he fell off his roof and suffered multiple injuries including broken wrists, ribs, and a vertebra. Miraculously, Bill recovered and continued his passion for filming fishing content.
The Viral Sensation
“Can we change his life?” the video asked, igniting a viral response that amassed an astounding 65 million views and garnered more than 64,000 comments, effectively launching Bill into the spotlight.

Subscriber Surge: From 1,320 to Over 1.3 Million
According to ViewStats, before the TikTok video aired, Bill had only 1,320 subscribers. However, following the viral clip, his subscriber count skyrocketed. Just a day after the TikTok surge, Bill celebrated crossing the 200,000 subscriber milestone, calling it “an overnight miracle.”
The Impact of Viral Content
“It’s gone basically nowhere [over the years] and I thought about ending it… but everything’s changed,” Bill shared as the momentum of his channel continued to build. As of now, his YouTube channel has reached over 1.32 million subscribers and has accumulated more than 2.6 million views across all videos.
What’s Next for Fishing with Oh Dad?
Despite the rapid growth, there hasn’t been a new upload from Bill since his subscriber spike. Yet, his loyal fanbase is eagerly awaiting his return to content creation. Alongside Bill’s journey, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines in August when he joined YouTube and amassed over 18 million subscribers within just 24 hours—a testament to the immense potential of viral content.
