Hats off to the man who saved the day! I hope you took good care of him! Take care!

wow Brant. You are a patient man. I would have busted the car window way earlier and cursed the rental car co people!😆😂

I got thirsty just watching. I did that exact same thing on the Skyway pier in St. Petersburg. Had to pay a locksmith $80 to come help. Lesson learned. Loved the footage as always. Cheers, Brant!

Holy cow, Brant - I am disappointed that more folks didn't stop to help, and I'm glad you got out of that predicament Brother! Stay safe and catch you on the next one!

That’s a smart key all you had to do is touch your thumb on the door handle to unlock it. Key was within 5 feet and only the front door handles can do this. At 15:55 on the passenger handle I can literally see the little button to touch on the handle

Well I guess I’m glad I didn’t go lol

You're a more patient dude than me...I think I would have been thinking about the rock option after the 1st hour. But glad it all worked out! It is great to see native fish down there--in some places on the east coast there's almost no bluegill left.

7 hours! Holy cow!! Tow truck driver really saved the day, I guess not all heroes wear capes

Brant your sunfish is a stump knocker Happy fishing always

This is precisely why I always crack a window or take the keys with me. I got locked out of my car while it was started in a scenario just like this. So I will always put the keys in my pocket or give myself enough window room to get my arm in there. Glad you at least had fun fishing. It’s ridiculous that it took them that long to come and help you. In this scenario I would just call the cops or a locksmith and have them bring a slim jim to unlock the door

Once I was in a similar position. Might as well jsut go on and Turkey hunt. Cannot do anything else. Managed to call one in for my big chief. HE was a total newby but I was so happy to see him close the deal. It was one of those fairly rare Noon kills. Better than wasting time and being half sick with myself for my screup. Way to go man.

I was only kidding ! Good luck next roadside fishing trip, Brandt ! Always enjoy your Florida fishing adventures.

I could see you getting more and more dehydrated!!! Glad your ok!!

Glad you finally got rescued! Thanks for making this video, it’s really cool to see you catching all the fish down in the Everglades. But just one thing just be really careful standing on the side of the road fishing. All it takes is just one person to be distracted, and drift out of their lane and then hit you. I know that I’ve done fished from the side of the road in the past too, and I should take my own advice, but I just pray you’ll be safe.

I rented a car in Europe that at first was a pain and then I recognized it was a blessing: you could not lock the keys inside either the car or the trunk. When you unlocked the trunk, the key stayed in the latch. When you unlocked the car, it would not re-lock unless you had the keys/fob out of the car. Such a lifesaver on a rental! Fun vid!!!

Oh man, that's horrible! ...and 7 hours before a cop shows up?! I'm glad everything worked out but that rental company owes you. Thank you Mr. Tow Truck Guy!

It was nice and a welcome break from a normal [ well planned and executed] Brent video and a true life screw up and the way you put it all together with the feeling something bigger is coming even when u git the net stuck and showed your fu** ups and it was nice and welcoming to see when things actually go wrong not trying to make yourself always look good and perfect ! Been a fan for a long time

GEEZE! Man, you have more patience than I do. Those windows would have been gone in a few hours if it was me stuck out there. I am glad it worked out ok for you.

We have warmouth up here, but they are not common at all. Rock bass, their cousin, is very abundant, and pretty decent table fare if bled, iced, and eaten fresh. Thanks for taking us along again Brant.

Most fun I've ever had fishing, kids size rod, light tackle, fishing for reds here in Florida. So much fun. Keep up the good content y'all.

That is why I wear pants or shorts with pockets. As soon as I pull the keys from the ignition they go straight into the pocket. If they not in the ignition they're in my pocket. If I'm in the driver seat with the car on and need to step out to say get something out of the trunk or back seat before I drive off I will always lower the driver window just in case the car locks itself. Anyways glad to hear you were able to get out of this mess successfully.

Glad things turned out alright for you. Like you, I wouldn't want to spend the night with gators crawling everywhere. Props to you for keeping your cool. Me, I would've busted that window after 3 hours, damn the cost. 🤣🤣🤣

Wow, thank God for the tow truck driver!! I used to live in Tampa & know how that Florida heat can be. Glad to see you got help & that you're doing better now. Sheesh! What an experience!

Brant, you are the KZfaqr of the year. Locked out of car hmm let’s video me fishing. The Pensacola phenom.

WOW!!!! Hands down on how well handled the situation 👏 🙌 I would love to hear everything that was said to the rental company though that would of been the cherry on top. I know it went down behind the scenes... Great work you managed to at the very least. Keep it up Brant.

Dang Brant, you gotta broaden your fan base! Cause anyone of us would've rescued you regardless of the inconvenience.

I carry a backpack with some basic stuff, a pocket survival tent, water filter, a revolver plus 50 rounds of ammo, and a TON of tackle, line, weights, and my favorite combo I've ever put together. A Zebco Z-Cast 5'6" collapsible rod with a Shakespeare Durango reel with 30lb braid. It shouldn't work as well as it does but here we are. I break that thing out anytime I see water with fish.

Wow! You ought to take that tow truck guy on a fishin trip! lol

That was a Mayan Cichlid. I just back from two days of fishing in the Everglades. That looked like a Stumpknocker. If you saw 9 alligators - there were 5,or 6 more you didn’t see.

Love the videos man!! Keep them coming! So excited about the new tackle store.

All that and no Snook! Glad you are okay! Stay Safe and Keep your Keys Handy!!

I used to fish like that and the water control channels back in the 80s and it was excellent fun!! Caught 6-8 pound bass on a regular basis! Among others. Made a lot of dinners out of them! Nobody ever bothered me either! What's that saying, 🤔 oh yeah the good old days!! Great clip bud!!

Had the exact same thing happen to me in the desert in Utah, shit gets real very fast lol big ups to big hearted folks that stop to help, I’d buy the guy that helped me a steak dinner and a bottle of aged bourbon if I ever found him, dude saved my ass big time

You never go out especially in a area like that without water, snacks, emergency supplies. You never know what might happen, so you should always be prepared. That's just crazy.

You should carry an MRE and at least a gallon jug od water from now on. Never know when you might get stuck out there 😁

This is one of the few backlashes I have not had so far thank goodness!!!! Glad you stayed safe through out the ordeal

Okay, now you have to do a 24 hr everglades challenge!

Glad that it all worked out in the end. BTW I noticed when you were catching all the warmouth that one of them appeared to be a green sunfish (same body but different color patterns) those are what I grew up calling goggle eyes 😂

Sorry you had to endure the heat while waiting for help . God bless the kind hearted people that helped you 👍.

An amazing story! The good Lord was watching out for you. Thanks for posting this!

I had increased anxiety just watching you go thru this ordeal. Technology is not always working in our best interest. It's kind people like that gentleman that make all the difference in the world.

Bro.........I feel you. I had the most brutal day today and I come home and it doesn't stop. I flip on KZfaq and there's everyone having the time of their lives...except you. I watched your video expecting to be angry at the cop.... but MAN...You got lucky! At the end of the day, as unfortunate as it may seem....It's nice sometimes to see that other people have crappy days too. I'm a subscriber now so I'll get to see you on a better day too, but for now, thanks for putting this out there. It would have been easier to shelve this episode so nobody saw, but it was therapeutic for me.

Glad that worked out Brant. It happens. But I still want to fish the everglades either way!

The cops always show up just in time to help. Gotta love em. At least he was a nice respectable cop. Glad it worked out for ya. You are more patient than I am. That window would have been gone hours ago. God bless. 🙏

Dude that's Dope that you caught an Oscar!! I use to have those as pets when I was a kid. Blew my mind when you showed a 50 gallon fish tank Oscar caught on a rod and reel 😅

Dang, I've been in a similar situation. The only thing that gets you through it is the thought of the big steak or cheeseburger you'll get yourself when it's over. 😂

Great video, thanks for showing that things don't always go off without a hitch.

So glad you’re ok! I’ll be watching you again! I’m subscribed and excited for more fishing! ✌🏻😎👍 🎣

Definitely would have broken the window after dealing with the rental company like that. You were way more patient than I would of been.

😳😳 Thank God for the man who stopped with the tow truck!! Ppl, this was just a dang FREAK accident OR a woulda’ / shoulda’ / coulda’ experience that should teach us all a valuable lesson if we’re on the roads traveling. Glad all turned out well, Brant!! Just found your channel & subscribed. Love your fishing experiences although I felt for you in this 1 !! Best of luck. All’s well that ends well! 👍❤️🙏🏻

Well you learned a valuable lesson today. Always learn about the car you're driving. Could of been worse. Be safe and ENJOY!!

_Damn all those gators. Still hammered the pan fish though. It appears, there's a button on the front door handles that'll unlock the car if the keys (keyless remote) close by._ 💯💯

That man went out of his way to help you- AND for free out of the goodness of his heart and u referred to him as "whoever you are"!!? You didn't even bother to find out his name???!!

Same thing happened to me fishing at a remote pond last summer….keys in car….shut door…..locked on me…..I had to flag down a farm worker who did not speak English to call me a wrecker service to unlock the car. Funny thing is that I had gotten out very early that day because of high temps….so much for that idea.

What a great video. Glad it all worked out. When you were laying in the road was hilarious. That would be a scary place to spend the night!

Look like a scene from MY LIFE!!

Thanks for a great video baring the troubles

Glad you're ok. Great video!!😊😊

Love the feed..good local stuff alot for me

Where I live in East Texas [the boonies/farming community] we do alot of pond hopping ! EVERY farm that has any amount of acreage/livestock usually will have several ponds some are small mudholes an some are huge 30-60 acre ,some are absolutely full of fish an some aren't ! There is 1 pond in particular that's within walking distance of my place and its on a piece of property that has been up for sale for ages [over 6 years] and its as you'd expect VERY overgrown an VERY hard to fish because of that BUT if your brave enough to weather a few chigger bites then this little pond is FULL of huge ''war mouth'' perch an they have a unique and beautiful coloration that I've NEVER seen anywhere else [I've fished ALOT of ponds etc] ! They are very colorful but what's unique is they have little black spots/dots all over them as if someone took a pepper shaker an gave them all a few shakes on each side ! Ive been fishing this area for decades an this is the ONLY place that I've EVER seen this particular color variation !

I love south Florida. Great and easy place to fish. Almost every bridge will produce fish.

You caught what you called a sunfish-- that’s what we call a stump knocker Great video

I'm glad people stopped and you were able to get in the car but I have to ask what did we learn today.

I wish their was a Tx gulf go pro channel like this one it’s so very cool and informative

That sunfish at 10:34 is a Spotted sunfish 👍

This was some video to watch,, I'm glad you got help and I hope that never happens to you or anyone else again. 😅

I’m glad you are doing good! 😮

Nobody's asked that I could find but what company left you stranded so that doesn't happen to any of us? Love your videos man. We've been watching for a while now. Going to be down there in 1 month. Can't wait.

I have done that before and good ole you tube taught me a secret tip. I keep that video saved in my watch later because I have done it twice now. Glad the calvary showed up in the nick of time for you! 💯💯

I MAY BE BREAKING THE WINDOW HAD ME DYING 🤣🤣 I'm sorry man. Glad you were able to get out of there safely!

I've locked the keys in my car numerous times. Now I have a hide away key holder stuck by magnet under the car. Keep a house key in there too. Also at gas pumps or anywhere I might be outside the car for a few minutes the window is left down enough to get my arm in if need be. Only the window part would help in a rental.

You're trying to flag someone down when they were right on top of you. Hell, give them a warning.. Some times you guy are funny. Always entertaining. I would of broke that window in the first 5 minutes. That's why they have insurance, the biggest scam in the world... Lol😂

Same thing happened to me and my new truck. Turns out the battery in the key fob was low. No problems after replacing it. I was lucky compared to Brant. It happened to me at a gas pump in the next little town away from my town. The station clerk, whom I had never met before, let me borrow her car to run home and retrieve my spare fob. I filled her gas tank and compensated her greatly for her generosity.

Great video Brant! Wow, that is definitely a car I wouldn’t want to have. Glad all turned out ok.

Glad it all worked out. Hard to have a backup plan in the middle of the Everglades. Those were some beautiful fish

That was very dumb, Brandt ! Keep those keys in your pocket dude ! Maybe you should take up hunting, maybe? LOL

Wow! Glad it worked out. I had a truck that would lock itself up. Ever since then I NEVER leave my keys in a vehicle unless the windows are down. Call me paranoid but I learned that lesson years ago.

The one you weren't sure about looked like a Spotted Sunfish. Glad that the tow truck driver was able to open the rental, and shame on the people at the rental company for not sending someone when you first called.

👏👏👍👍👍👏👍 thank to God , and the tow guy

Brian, welcome to my life! LOVE your videos.

Enjoyed your video😅 I had a similar experience... I took my son and nephew fishing and on the way home, they wanted a drink out of the cooler, in the trunk. I stopped in the middle of the dirt road and handed my son the keys (no trunk button, of course). They got a drink and got back in. I asked where's the car keys? The look on their face was priceless (probablybecausetheythoughti was going to kill'em😅) Well, this is summer 1999....no cell phone. They both learned a valuable lesson that day! Hang on to the keys or you have to walk for miles in the heat!😅 I enjoyed watching them struggle, but we had a great adventure....from shade spot to shade spot😂😊❤

great video, Brant! that was gnarly. those spots were sweet though!

😛Wow! What patience, but I too would have waited - then smashed the window. God willing, tomorrow, I'm going to create my key numbers so that I can use the outside key pad on my older vehicle. Been meaning to do that for years - but have AAA & forget that sometimes locals might not show up at all, as in your situation.😝

Since we are allowed to drive on beach in Texas I always make sure a window is open enough to reach in and unlock a door.

Always enjoyed fishing creeks when I was younger. We even fished for minnows . Just catch any kind of fish was fun. You and nature. Sure beat sitting in front of the idiot box(TV)..

Glad you are safe. I have my key on and s hook and keep on my body.

What a terrible experience...glad u finally got some help. I might not have waited as long as u did before using that rock. Glad u are OK sir.

Congrads!🎉 to you stuck out there. When I ambatvgss station I don't clis doors I take the keys and put in my pocket then I pump gas. But I am going to test my car today a Nissan with windows down. Thank you for your video to help others.

Glad everything turned out okay! Cheers from Citrus county Florida.

If you want to catch tilapia try live worms. That's how I caught them in Costa Rica. They'll eat bread balls too but they come off the hook too easy. I'm glad to see you catch so many native species and less invasives. The cold is a double edged sword, it knocks out invasives but it kills snook too. I can't believe nobody helped you sooner. Bummer. I'm glad you didn't end up gator bait.

THAT LOOKED LIKE FUN BRANT! TY SIR!

O man that's crazy.. glad your good

Would love to see a video of cichlid’s being used for snook bait. Snook love them things and making a cichlid catch video and using them to catch snook would be epic!

I've pulled up to Piney point boat ramp, and dropped my keys in the water about 50 ft from the ramp, with a giant storm coming. My cousin jumped off the back of the boat, and I don't know how, but found them in the murky water... miracle. Always an adventure!

1:51 That is a Mayan Cichlid as Tilapia stripes only run midway down the side. The predator dots near the tail also gives it away as a Mayan Cichlid. Great catches, bro.

That’s a rough go Brant. Glad that eternity is over. And it’s amazing how all the “exotics” adapt to the chill. I guess they find their warm pockets. Well, as long as the peacocks survive, I’m happy. Lol. Enjoy the trip. South Florida is an ecological mess. You never know what you will see or catch.

Well at least the warmouth bite was hot lol but glad you were able to get help and get the keys out of the car can’t wait for whatever video comes next much love from Michigan

So glad you finally got rescued.

What a wild day . Some good folks in the word still

My friend, this looks like you took a page out of my daily life! Glad you're safe and sound!
