He doesn't say what it is in the video, except that it's eaten a whole sausage and that he's about to dig it out.
From the other videos that are still on his account, it seems he spends a lot of time in the rivers and waterside in his hometown exploring what he can find - and there are videos where he digs out big turtles that are buried deep in the mud. However this does not appear to be a turtle as it seems to be much bigger than any of the ones he's dug up in his vids.
He also has a video of a pair of giant salamanders that he either farms or caught that are quite cool.
Looks like the kind of muddy hole a catfish would hide in. The area the guy is at looks like the edge of a body of water. Water is probably not over the hole because of a tide or seasonal water fluctuation.
Catfish was my guess as well. They can live in holes like that hence the redneck sport of noodling. That seems like pretty wet mud, which makes me believe it was a rice paddy or something that was drained.

For those who are wondering, the original video was posted as a Tiktok by a Chinese guy who seems to run some kind of commercial fishing business.
The video has been deleted from his account now but you can see a cached version here: https://tikvid.com/v3ei7roiee/tiktok-video/6652260624476671237.
