27 years ago GA firearm opening weekend, which was this past weekend. I got shot with a .410 slug by a kid playing with a gun at hunting camp. I'm lucky to be here for sure. Glad you fought through Tommy! Took me 10 years to get back into hunting.

That's a wicked and miraculous story. Tommy was absolutely blessed that day and every other after and JT is also a miracle. Wow

GOD bless you brother! That was a miracle. So glad you made it. The ALMIGHTY CREATOR kept you here.

61 now but as a young man I was privileged to have my dad take me on hunting and fishing trips all over Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Canada. I have been shot at 3 times, once semi unintentionally by rabbit hunters using rifles on San Jaun Island which at the time was shotgun only (and may still be), and twice by "Sound Hunters" while Elk hunting in the Cascade Mountains. The last time was a barrage of bullets from 3 hunters and I was struck in the face from tree splinters from a bullet that hit a tree a foot from my head. The only thing that saved both my Dad and myself was that it was a heavily wooded area and most of the bullets were stopped by trees. My Dad and I were wearing orange vests on all three occasions, I have not been back in the woods during ANY hunting season in over 30 years. I don't understand how anyone can be so irresponsible as to shoot at something from a sound, or a movement in the bushes or whatever, when they obviously didn't even identify the target to know if its legal to kill, much less pick the shot placement for a humane kill. ALL hunter shootings should be investigated as a crime, if you were shooting at a sound or movement you were at best poaching as you had no idea what you were shooting at and should lose all hunting privileges as you are a danger to every other hunter out there. I am not a lawyer so I don't know all the terms, but shooting someone "accidentally" like this man was shot should be a negligent criminal charge of some kind. I may be extreme, but when you have bullets whistling past your head you get a different opinion.

What a story. Brought back a memory of my Grandfather who was shot through the chest and came out his back in WW1. Laying face down, when they came to collect dog tags. When they flipped him over, he told them I'm not dead yet. Sent him to hospital , where he got infections 3 times but pulled through. Military on the 3rd infection sent a letter to Grandma saying they didn't expect to make it. A month later she gat a letter from him telling her he would be home in a month. Passed away in 1966 at 71 yrs old. Still had a big sunken hole in his back.

That gator trick, scared the crap out of me. Boy took a year off my life best part about your videos as you include your sons on everything that’s awesome.

Hunting or fishing, I started taking along a IFAK years ago once I got trained as a police officer. I realized I needed blood loss control soon the off chance of an accident/animal attack in such remote locations. I would suggest a tourniquet and quik clot and some training for the gear. It is better to have and never need. I'd glad it all worked out and your are better. I've been recently started shopping for satellite rescue beacons, the areas in Everglades National Park has no cell service like 5 minutes entering the park or when going off shore.

God bless you,just like he blessed ya brother dearmear for dinner,you guys are wonderful,good people,you deserve all the blessings God can give,much love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤❤

Tommy is a walking testimony of God's Grace ! Thank you Jesus for your Mercy and Grace ! And also to let Tommy live to tell us about !

Thanks for the story Tommy. Amazing. I'm happy your still here and hunting again.

You're a tough man Mr Tommy. I'm glad you're still with us.

Thank God Tommy lived to tell what happened and teach people how very important identifying your target and hunters orange is. To live after getting hit in the chest with a .308, that's a tough man right there and it weren't your time. I got shot in the leg with 6 shot rabbit hunting but luckily my Carharts ate most of the pellets up. Happy hunting everyone and for the love of God be safe out there.

How many of you go cat fishing

I will never understand how someone could possibly mistake an upright walking human for a deer through a scope and somehow think its not only a deer but that theyre making an even halfway ethical shot?

I'm in California 68 years old awesome videos I don't know how often you go in and get your skin check being out in the sun if you haven't it's time to go in be safe so I can continue to watch you Steve

This place is where I call home, the Altamaha is where I learned to swim, hunt and fish. Gardi is about 8 miles outside of Jesup where I live but we usually fish that area. Im surprised they didnt catch and blues and that was a hell of a nice channel cat. I cant say Tommy and I are close but I have met him and I remember when this happened. It was pretty big news around Jesup at the time. Nice to see him doing good and teaching his son about the river as it can be extremely dangerous for those who dont respect it, hell it can be dangerous for those who do respect it. If any of you do come down to fish the Altamaha do us a big favor and carry out just a little more trash than you carry in to help keep this beautiful waterway thriving

He's your friend BG that makes him my friend too . I am happy for him to have made it out of the swamp and he's back doing his thang with you and his Son 💯😎🙏😇👍

65° and Gabe looks like he's fishing in Alaska! 😂

The only thing I worry about fishing is overfishing, it worries me, I'm not talking about you Gabe, I'm talking about people in general,💪😎💯

Wow, Robert's Brother!! Am a fan of your brother's channel. I remember those days when you didn't have a channel and now closing on a Million. And now you here. Am proud of man. Keep it up.

Thank God Tommy is still with us. In 1996 when i was 19 i had a brand new Sea doo and my parents had a lake house in Alabama.my best friend and cousin and a few more people all had sea doos and we were gonna ride that sunday. mine was in the boat house. It wouldnt start at first. Anyway, mine exploded and broke my back and my neck. Id have drown if not for my buddies dragging me out of the water.

Very nice. I did chuckle when you said it was cold. 34* here this mornin😂. Can’t imagine takin a .308 to the chest. Bless you sir.👍🏼

Need a video with you and deer meat for dinner asap I’m sure the fans want to see something special ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Hey Gabe, maybe you need to take JT noodling he would love that😂😂😂

I bought some catfish nuggets from Ingles for less than $2.50 a lb. Shook them up in a bag of Paco Italian flavored , and baked them in the oven on 400 degrees for 20 minutes and I was amazed at how good they turned out . Easy peasy Lemon squeezy . StaleKracker ain't got nothing on y'all when it coes to catching catfish

Holy Smokes, what a storey. Very few people live from a shot to the chest from a .308! God was looking out for this man! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

Looks like they need to use some boat ramp fees on that boat ramp! Great content as always!

An old cast iron bathtub makes a good holding tank,if you put it in shallow water. Thank you for the video and please stay safe

If you want a real good fire in Gabe, all you have to do is get a beer keg cut it in half. They also make good shrimp cookers and they also make damn good crab cookers hello from the Beautiful Southern, Maryland🦀🦀🦀🎣🎣

Circle hooks and checks at least every 4 hours. They will work themselves off the hooks over time. Put up some good numbers!!

Yep the lord said he wasn’t done yet ! Amazing story!

I grew up going to Grandmas on the weekends in Georgia, and caught a lot of fish on the Altamaha!

Been watching since the beginning and still my favorite go-to channel on KZfaq.

gabe what a story god bless that mans heart for surviving it gives me chills thinking about it God was truly with him glad he gained enough courage to go back with his son it made for a great viedo ..

Wow that is one lucky feller that walked away with a .308 shot to the chest! That WAS divine intervention! GREAT VIDEO Gabe!

Congrats! Way to tough it out Nate. That awkward hood ornament was attracting those big red girls 😂

Loved the video! Awesome story about Tommy!

The river is LITERALLY part of his blood. Respect.

That's too bad about Mr. Tommy. It's a miracle that he survived. Orange vests, etc. are no substitute for staying switched on. Hunters (or anyone shooting anything) would do well to remember, and practice, the Parachute Riggers Code: "I will be sure - ALWAYS!"

So many my's Gabe. Pro drive, rental, etc. Stay humble

so happy that you are helping a community with you catch, that is a true blessing for people for the church community

As a Canadian seeing gabe wear a beanie in 65 degree weather is hilarious

Love seeing you out catching flatheads see you at the next video. Tio Joey

God Bless Tommy He's a Beast

If it ain’t your time to go than it ain’t your time to go man what a legend much respect

Awesome video,,,one of your very best!!!!!!!

Thank the Lord your friend made it from the gun 🔫 shot😊 thank you for explaining the differences on the hooks. Id be more than happy to except some fish and/or game from you 😊. I'm living in south Georgia know. Also I grew up in Wyoming and just happen to know we're there are 1 or 2 cat dens at 😊 stay safe out there 😊

Amen brother glad you here with us 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Oh wow, that was a sheer miracle. I'm sure glad ya lived to tell the story Tommy!!!

Good to see you b Almost back to 100% 💪

Growing up with fire ants in South Georgia, the perfect relief after being stung by ants and bees is plain bleach. I keep a small amount with me everywhere outside.

Good friend of mine was doing deer drives in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York with a gang of hunters back in the 80's. They drove up on a very small corner wooded lot that was known to hold deer. The first truck rounded the corner and the driver got out when he spotted a deer from the road. My buddy, a U.S. Navy Sailor home on leave for hunting season was a passenger in his brothers little pickup truck when they pulled up to the woods just before the turn. He was reaching for his shotgun when he caught a slug through the windshield to his right shoulder. The shooter didn't see the truck through the woods. They drove him to the hospital and he survived but he was maimed for the rest of his life. He was given an honorable discharge from the navy and carried on what seemed like a normal happy life for almost 3-decades before taking his own life a dozen or so years ago. He was one of the toughest guys - pound for pound, that I ever knew! #BuckFever

God bless mr Tommy 🙏🏽

I see all these comments about people from up north talking about Gabe over dressing for the climate he's in! What most people, from the north who don't spend time in the Southeastern Untied States, don't understand is that in the south we have this thing called humidity.... Makes a big difference! Everybody is different! 😂

This video is goin to the top!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 already over 500,000 views!!!! Awesome!! Looks like a great time!

Blessings, Tommy!❤❤❤

Dang, the story is nuts 🥜 🔩

We use reflector tape. Works great at night.

I came up with 120 pounds but I failed math a few times. Mr Tommy were sure glad you're still with us sir!! GOD IS GOOD!!! Great video boys!! I prefer miss Crystal to be there but ya know that's alright 😂😂😂

Great job, Congratulations 🔨 🔨

Not sure why, but out of all your videos the catfishing ones are by far my favorite.

What a awesome story, Tommy is a blessed man !

Blue Gabe have you ever used ivory soap for bait. When I was coming up we used it in the river on catfish lines and we caught some big blues on it. We cut the soap in about one inch squares. I’m 72 years old now and I have not been in the river to try it again. That was back in my teen years my dad would take us and we would go camping at the river. I will give anything to be in a boat with my dad again it just brings back memories when I see someone in a boat do that. God bless you all and may you all be safe

Very nice fish, really enjoy watching

Gabe, yes I agree to God was on his side. But you know what those hunters that shot him or as fault because rule of thumb is see what you're shooting at so they know that they didn't see no deer. They just heard somebody moving and it took a shot thing and it was a beer. But the main thing is thank God he's alive. I'm glad to see that

incredible story and what a tough guy to pull through all of that… someone to admire certainly

Love your vids keep it up from Louisiana

Absolutely ❤ x 💯 this Video/Channel. Watching from Surrency, Georgia ❤❤❤ the Altamaha River Georgia

Hey Gabe amazing video. Can we get a deermeat collab

That is totally God right there. Need to give credit where credit is due.

I only use circle hooks when fishing live bait..except for pan fish 🐟 use a smaller worm hook

Sheeesh...308.. Glad u made it Tommy 🙏🏽

Gabe we’ve hooked some that straightened circle hook but your right circle is best way to go

2:25 theres a joke somewhere in there but i ain't aiming to be canceled 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mabey the catfish are learning also and it’s backfiring lol😂

Thumbs up for the cool cooler

Red river in Selkirk was my favorite thing when I was a kid used leopard frogs!

Great video!!! Nothing wrong with any of those fish. All decent eating size.

Being from about 3½hr directly north of there, i can FEEL what the weather is there from watching this video lmao and i gotta say gabe, im a little jealous. Lmao. I left home for a reason. But seeing this weather kinda makes me miss it. 🥺🥺 i wouldn't leave IRC, FL to save my life at this point though. 😂😂

What a story! Grateful to still have you Tommy!

Orange, more orange and absolutely identify your target. Lucky man.

Thank GOD Praise GOD You're A Living Testimony,,,🙏❤️😇
