Special request, some go pro vids of snook n baby tarpon...and as multi decade property owner in Gatlinburg, Tn., only Brant could end up fishing on No Fishing Thursday. Still lol, and smh.

I hope i can make the grand opening looking forward to the store

More go pro. You bear me to it.

Growing up in Florida, it was cool seeing alligator gar in all the creeks, now it's all polluted and the fish are gone.

@@duckduckens4164 At the mouth of the Weekie Watchee River, in the early to mid 60's, heading down river to near Mud River and the beginning of the bay, where once was the turtle grass rated among the top three speckled trout grounds, I would see schools of alligator gar of five and six feet in length. Ten years ago, I made a Sunday visit to the house grandparents built as a weekend getaway on a spring fed canal crystal clear, like the sparkling blue water passing downstream past Rodgers Park. I was greeted with cloudy water, you could barely make out the river bottom, and the canals, where I'd bass fish at first light as a kid, were now noxious weed choked, the eel grass now infested with the weeds the DNR sprays to rid. Nothing of Florida's decades ago remains...flesh eating disease at beaches, toxic red tides, pollution and periodic deliberate purging of sewage when municipal systems become overloaded. What can I say...

Don't forget sting rays and sharks...

Can confirm. Lived in Florida as a kid. We had a big ass gator in the canal next to my house.

More likely a Crack head

So true

I live in florida

It really is, it looks like it's got some serious calf muscles on it too. When they're all splayed out on the ground they look kinda squat and pudgy, but here this thing looks like Godzilla. The way it's using its tail like an anchor to stay perfectly still is really cool.

@Thida Lynda Just consider it a tour of the ecosystem and how diverse it is. He did not keep any of his catches (they were all too small), he was just there imo to show the bio-diversity of FL and it's amazing. Peace.

Same. I just did that too😮

I fish and occasionally eat what I catch. But mostly I release them. I love to watch videos like this.

I've always had a phobia of waking up in the murkiest of water imaginable... There's that... Google picking my brain again.

Ever elusive they are

@@termodog7951 I think you were merely a treat.

There are videos made especially for 🐈 cats.My cat couldn't figure it out but would swat at birds on the screen & wonder where they went, hilarious

Dang, that's interesting.

Too bad all the fresh water fish in the everglades have dangerous levels of mercury thanks to the landfill waste leaching into the aquifers.

It's so sad what has happened to Florida and all the states in the southeast for that matter. Overran and decimation to our natural woodlands and waters. So much loss has occurred in North Carolina, I can't even begin to say. If they were allowed, we wouldn't have our beachfronts for any swimming or fishing pleasures, they'd have huge houseboats out there. More and more people and only a pocket here and there to play. So so sad.

The real sad part is that we're one of the nations that supposedly cares. If what we have is caring, imagine the ones that don't care at all

Literally the instant I read your comment I saw some trash lol

Oh, guess I shouldn't multitask, that sucks, people suck ! I hate it when people litter. I bet there's a crying Indian in a canoe somewhere around

👋 Florida girl

This got flagged BWHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA some people have absolutely no life I guess cause I time stamped a beer can after it was claimed no trash

@@BobbyDukeArts lol that comment got me flagged

Came here looking for the answer - thanks

I grew up in Minnesota, but have spent a lot of time in this area he was fishing and yes you defintely need to go do some fishing down there. Salt and fresh.

@@TCK-9 where exactly is this located in South Florida? Which highway? If u can direct me there id definitely love to check it out someday! maybe u can even share some hot spots LOL since it is 70 miles long and God knows where along that 70 miles there’s good fish 😂

Come on down pal. It's a blast

As a Florida guy I'd love to fish up there😀

@@hamidehh1416 Tamiami Trail. Get on the upcurrent side and drift your offering underneath the bridge. Moving water is better. I like floating flies for snook. The green bee fly works best for me.

Appreciate you watching

Im from Florida born and raised. You get used to the heat here. It will surprise you how well you can acclimate to a place if you give it time.

CA is gorgeous. From the beaches to the marine life. Florida weather is unbearable in the summer not like California where it’s moderate all year.

The Jewel of the South up to the 1980s (too bad there is so much white trash these days)

If this was California all you would see in the water is used needles and trash

😮ok Soo are we not going to speak on the human 💀 skull @2:13 that you caught on ur go pro 😮😮.. sir i do believe u need to call the police i think you may have stumbled upon a crime scene..

Appreciate it

@Kasey Rutherford I fully agree. Put on a spinner or jig on 2-4 lb test ultralight and have a blast. Especially when a 1lb large hits it.

Naples has the best fishing. Rather it fresh or salt water. Ive lived there my whole life.

@@Lowery1979 Where's the best place to fish in Naples? I've been there many times but never fished.

I don’t know anyone who swims in Louisiana or Florida.

Locals Def swim in the random ponds and rivers in Florida and Louisiana. Not all of them but some start as kids doing it and just aren't afraid. I swam in a random lake in East Texas, while trucking. after encountering some snakes and seeing a Gator it was the last time I did that. (I'm a Midwest Native)

Most sane people don’t. And I’m a cracker. We know where not too

Not just gators. The canals and rivers down there have bull sharks.

​@@johncalvo1743Yes.Bull sharks have been known to travel up the Mississippi as far as Memphis, TN so you can imagine what you may find in Florida

Living with aligators nearby is a tin, it’s better to watch the video of course. I can't imagine if such neighbors lived near my house. You are absolutely right.

@Evgen Skald If you were born here and raised by parents also born here, you really don't think about it much. Sounds weird, but we were taught how to coexist with them, which lessons any fear of them.

I didn't know catfish school like that

@@RDR-qg9pwme neither lol that caught me off guard

I wasn't hopeful, due to the "state" of many other of our Florida/East Coast/up to New England USA WaterWays/rivers/lakes/cricks etc. There are many similarities all over and it is shitty. A big hello to you in North Borneo from North East US

@@mq9893 I'm not trying to pick a fight here, but if you think any waterway in the US is remotely comparable to what happens in places like southeast Asia, India, etc, you should look into that a bit further. These places often have waterways that are completely blocked or covered with garbage. I mean literally covered. Factories often release toxic waste directly into rivers and streams, or some villages use it as sewage, both of which practically wipe out native wildlife. Saying there are "similarities" is an almost absurd level of hyperbole. I'm not saying there aren't polluted places here, but the majority of it is residual pollution from 100+ years ago, or small waterways that have collected litter. This is vastly different than the local-extinction-causing pollution in the unprotected waterways that Ernest is talking about.

@@NautilusGuitars Jeez no, you know what those waters look like in India & others. It's disheartening, the water they use is flooded w/ junk feces chemicals. I was just pointing out that East Coast USA to North Borneo and beyond, polluted waterways is a thing. In some 3rd world countries especially. No argument, its much worse than here, as he pointed out. One I'm familiar with is GE's PCBs and the once glowing lake "Silver Lake".. No problem, you disagreed & I clarified a bit. Almost like po-tato -potato, dif def of 'similarities'. Ultimately, agreeing. I think its absurdly awesome that people can disagree w/eachother without falling apart, these days hyperbole is busy busy busy. Take Care

​@@NautilusGuitars I lived in the Philippines for a few years, and the rivers I saw on Luzon, near Manila were disgusting, covered with trash and full of sewage. I think that American rivers near urban areas were similar until the 1970s.

@@mq9893 What?

Tucunarés foram introduzidos lá, chamam ele de Peacock Bass. Os cascudos se não me engano são nativos

Authentic comment with no thesaurus. Good job!

Wow! Didn't expect to see you here, love your content! Anyways, tucunarés were introduced to florida to help combat other invasive species, which worked very well until they too have become the invasive species. They don't do much harm however

Tem tambaqui aqui também cara. Sinistro! Nao sei como vieram parar aqui!

?

👍

u can count bacteria too..

billions

Where are these canals located?

@@allenlarson251 SE Florida, west of Boca/Delray and southward.

You shouldn't anyway due to the brain eating amoeba.

@@garden_creature Sounds like my ex-wife lives in that water.

that’s what i’m saying😂

Dude I had a day like that as a kid too on in eagles nest on the iron range. We caught a ton of sunnys that day but it was literally every time we cast and not just Sunnys. Good memories!!

I had a day top when I was a kid. Me and my dad caught a combined 153 pike. We caught the same one at least four times. (My dad hooked one in the back a ripped it, caught it three more times after that) probably caught it before too. We were trying to cast without catching any. We would have weeds on the hook and they would still take it. It was insane.

I love fish, but I’d be bored to death with 113 fish to eat.

@somerotter we had to throw all of em back. Most of them were tiny little blue gill. Size of your palm. But the Walleye and Northern Pike were pretty good-sized

It's really not as bad as you think 🤣 I've lived here my whole life, trust me it's really not that bad lol.

Ive been on vacation there a lot, on and around the water in the everglades, in the ocean and they don't bother you, you just take a quick look and if you see one, keep tabs on it and move a bit away, and you can be by waterways. Just don't be too close to the shore unless you're sure you don't see one. If you see one swim up, just back away. They really can't sprint all that fast if you're already 4-5 ft away from the shore, you can easily get away.

Wow. I'm 4th generation Floridian, and all I and my friends did growing up was play in and around the water. Get out of your cave. There's a whole world waiting for you out there.

@@TheWerttyFiles yea this is all true you just should absolutely not swim in the water or have kids near the shore.

@W D yeah we do, see them on the suwannee

They are brown bullheads

The catfish he was referring to are brown bullheads, not "cascudos". There were a few "cascudos" that he pointed out as "plecos" which is what they are commonly called in the U.S. And, they are in the catfish family.

I have been looking through all these comments seeing if anyone else noticed how controlled those shot were.

Oh if only that were true. People play a large part in dirtying up waterways. You see a BIG difference when roads are not present near water.
