We knew it was going to happen. We were walking out to fish in this exact same spot a couple weeks ago and there was empty squid boxes and a few styrofoam cups with dried shrimp and several cut bait on the ground .. Some people ruin it for those of us who are responsible & clean up after ourselves and have respect for the area and environment.

I'm glad this is addressed. You see trash when you fish the streams, the rivers, the lakes, the bridges, any water salt or fresh. Even when you camp. It's tragic and discusting.

I hate when fisherman dont clean up afterwards. I found the ones doing that kind of stuff are the ones illegally fishing as it is.

You should see this place during the after hours late at night. Folks be fishing keeping illegal size black drums and redfish closer to the Pensacola side of the bridge. Sadly, the next day you can count on seeing a mess left behind 😢

Congrats on you and the families new place! Too bad that, as usual, the slobs ruin it for everyone.

That does suck, sorry you have to deal with it. I used to love fishing the old bridge till the hurricane took it away😢. Congrats on the new place. Much better than townhouse living!

Mate we have the same problem here in Queensland Australia. Idiots leave places in a mess and then fishing gets banned for all the guys who were doing the right thing.

I know you've been making videos for a while but I finally subscribed today so I don't miss any action. - Seabrook Texas -

How about a sign telling people that there are fishermen above, and to be aware rather than blocking people from doing one activity just to allow others to do another activity?

Another great video Brad thanks my brother congratulations on the new house 👍

That's a shame that they closed the bridge down for fishing. Probably because of people leaving their messes behind. Unfortunately i've seen that happen too many times because of that stuff

When I saw the first video I couldn't imagine they didn't have signs up. You guys respectful but catching that drum there was a pole laying in the other lane and a large piece of plastic during FWC visit. Can only imagine what was going on out there with other people... You can say that you got to do it!

That’s awesome, congrats on the house, so much better to have your own place

Yeah Brad...I started cleaning up my messes before I leave my fishing spot decades ago. I always pick up my garbage.

Grabbin’ Jack’s rod!!!

As a fisherman, you know as well as I do that a lot of us do not cleanup after themselves. It's sad because it causes problems in the long run for everyone.

Thank you for great video 👍👍😎😎

Thanks for sharing this Brad. I love your idea of using a crab net to bring up the big fish. I'm certainly going to use that the next time I go. Where I live jet skis and boats do not follow the channel markers and they disobey the signs under the bridge that have do not enter signs. We have snagged quite a few people over the years and they try and blame the people on the bridge fishing in the areas specifically marked for fishing when I think it's the boaters fault for ignoring the rules of the intercoastal waterway. We are all just trying to have some fun while sharing the water and there would be far less accidents if people would just follow some basic common sense.

U ain't lying about your math skills

On the first netting I was saying “Dude move your head soI can see”. I totally forgot you were filming. Great job. What a great Fish.

Dude what!?!? I was sooooo excited to fish the new bridge!!! Havent had time to go to pensacola beach yet this year, but i was gonna have time in a few weeks from now! Cant believe its not allowed!!!

the netting skills is just wow lmao

Nice looking place.

Welcome to the new ponderosa. Looks great. Probably glad to get out of multi family living facility. You've come a long way in not to long of time. A new addition on the way. Living the American Dream.

Cool video brother keep them coming peace out from Ohio Don T

You can tie a carabiner a few inches above your pier gaff and clip it to your line. Makes it easier for us here in the far east 👍🏻

Another great video

All the Best with Your New Home!

Is there a better release method than the high free fall drop from the bridge.

Nice Avet reel. My favorite brand.

Always take a trash bag. Pick up after yourself AND others if you want to keep fishing access open to your favorite spots.

I was in Biloxi MS and followed sign that said fishing bridge. I got there and there were lots of shrimp boats and signs everywhere saying NO FISHING.

Amazingly, the fish caught were quite large

Freedom is scary !!!

Come watch the fishing, the spot is great my brother 👍 14:57

What rods are you using Brad? Great video.

Hey what happened to the ss pos did yall take it to the dump, if not is it for sale

Seems like the bridge is big enough to have certain places boats could pass.

Hey Brad, what was that silver reel in the first part of the video? That looked legit! Always enjoy your vids, man...

First fish made ya look like rookies. 😆

What brand of reels were you guys using?

It's getting to be a problem at the bridges here to I always bring a garbage bag to clean up after other people sucks because once they close it can't go back and we all suffer for it great video

That's why in Texas you must slow your boat to no wake when going under a bridge.

They should designate places for boats to pass under the bridge and not allow fishing from the bridge from those locations. We shouldn’t lose access from shore fishing or bridge fishing because of boats or bike traffic or anything else. Those bridges actually belong to WE THE PEOPLE as they are public bridges/roadways just like the waters do so they should do something that allows us all to use them for our own recreational purposes. These kinds of minor overreaches are the exact reason a lot of us are pushing and making sure there’s not a single one of our God given RIGHTS stepped on in any way whatsoever no matter how big or small.

Love your fat bike dude!

Wha a nice po-po 😂🤣

Accidents happen all of the time everywhere in this country and other countries to worldwide across the globe to. That's why it's called fishing and A sport to. Cause wind can cause accidents like to in life if it blows the line while reeling the fishing line in to shore anywhere.

Pretty simple designate a lane for boats with a section with fishing not allowed.

Sounds like a fishing tale

What kind of reel are you using?

FWC parking on the bridge is insane! If that is the only way for FWC to patrol the bridge it is not worth it.

What people enjoy fishing having fun shut it down

I like the rack on the back of the bike. What kind of rack is that brand name? Do they sell it separately or did it come with the bike? Any info would be helpful. I really like that wreck. I wanna put it on my bike.

Telling humans to do the right thing.... 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck with that.

when you gonna come to NC for some shark fishing?

Is there any type of fish there you can keep?

Wh kind of reel are you using?

A little rough on the net guy!!

Always been illegal in Florida to go fishin’ from a bridge on the traffic deck. Someone just spaced it on installing the new sign.

I don't fish there but I have fished similar places. I see a lot of out-of-towners there for the weekend with temp licenses, dressed far too nice for fishing, brand new fishing equipment, cannot tie a decent knot, and totally disregarded me when I asked them to please pick up their mess when they went to leave. I picked it up. Too bad fisherman cant hang a small flag down to alert boats they are there to avoid freak accidents like what happened to this lady. That way the boat could be more cautious. Alternatively, a disposable air horn if pretty cheap. The boat could blow it a couple times indicating they are passing underneath so they don't toss a weight treble hook at a bad time.

I fish in a spot in Panama City Florida, and since the border has been open, we have had tremendous problems with the illegal aliens coming down and leaving all of their trash, keeping a ton of illegal fish and when they bring their families, they even leave their dirty diapers laying around. It’s so frustrating you try to politely explain to them that they need to pick up their trash and read the regulations but they just ignore you. It has ruined it for so many people in my area.

Whats that yellow trollung reel

it would be nice to allow fishing on this bridge for people's recreation. But you'll have people that do not clean after themselves which spoiled for everyone else that keeps the area clean where they fish.

People will always mess thinks up for the ones that care.

Do you have a discount code for a ninja dagger rod?

I remember when I was around ten years old, my Dad told me to take my fishing tackle out of the trunk and put it in the shed. About two weeks later he stopped at the beer store to buy a 24 of bottles. When we got home I heard him screaming outside, he lifted the case of beer out of the trunk and a large treble hook was stuck out of the case, the other hook went all the way through his belly. He couldn’t set the case down so we had to carefully empty every bottle, then we cut the case away from the hook. He finally cut the barb off and pulled the hook, the weight of the beer tore his skin bad enough that he needed four stitches. Guess who got blamed? Yep! He wasn’t impressed with me.😂

That’s what I taught my daughter pack out what you take and if you see someone else’s take it out also

His son said that was a struggle while dad hauled that fish all the way up, with no help from his son until the very end. Pretty funny. Don't quit your day job.

I have a piece of plastic from inside a flat screen TV, that I bring dock fishing. It keeps all the fish scale and guts off their dock. There are places I'm allowed to fish, That they run other people off,, Because I show respect for their property! Good manners is key to nearly everything! Something little brats today, missed in school !!

If they closed things for people leaving trash behind. The entire city of Philadelphia would be off limits

Looks like a great place to fish but all it takes is one person to mess it up for everyone

What reel is that?

Livin on this planet long enough, you realize that it only takes a few to ruin it for the rest of us....sucks. A n old breed mentor of mine always taught me to pick up my trash AND a couple more items to help make up for those losers.... tight lines bro.

It is to see why that happened, bicycle in the middle of the path, big net also , fishing rod as well. 2 blokes carrying on hauling in a “big” fish

I can understand the safety concerns on behalf of boaters from below the bridge riding through and the concerns of the state. But this bridge has a walkway with openings designed for fish ing. How about making a boating only cross through under the bridge and labeling above it on the walkway no fishing boating only??

It's only about power.

Just OBEY

Well it looks like they went thru the extreme effort of putting up "No Fishing Signs"... We need trash cans and specified areas with a fence or wall...Look at other States like Michigan, they attract TOURISM fishing on all their bridges : 1. Trash Cans 2. Specified Areas/Times (Think of the Tickets they get to write) 3. Short wall or fence....Its only easy to hang up a sign. Thank You, " The Crab Connection ".

The law in general is lazy to simply close the bridge down what they need to do is they need to regularly target the area and heavily ticket people for leaving their trash. Our local fishing game has targeted my spot to try and slow down the trash leavers and the regulation breakers and their persistency has truly helped! we do have good officers here that I do appreciate.

It sucks to lose a spot. But no bridges for me unless I'm under them. My dad got hit by an egg once on a bridge that someone threw. Another time I was on one and an old guy got hit but my buddy put a Sprite can full of saltwater through the windshield when the idiots made a 3rd pass and we were ready. I missed. They left in the convertible mustang needing a windshield 😂.

Man that sux, what ever happened to the fishing pier that was there, why can't y'all fish on those?

Dang, new boat new house. I fish every day and barely afford gas I guess I need a gopro

Just a bit of history, when Ivan took out the GB side of the Fishing Bridge, GB got 20 Million from FEMA to rebuild the GB side. GB decided to get permission and use that 20 from FEMA to build infrastructure drainage/storm drains in GB Proper. IMO, the money for their drainage project should have come from Property taxes. GB ended up getting another 17 Million from FEMA to use for tearing down the GB side of the fishing bridge. The fishing bridge before Ivan had sections that were painted and dedicated as "No Fishing Area" on the top side and underneath because they were dedicated boat lanes . It made for a simple solution. Doing that makes way more since than saying no fishing across the entire bridge because some weekend yahoo isn't looking for lines when going underneath the bridge.

Too cold to fish in Florida? Must have gotten down to 70. Brrrr.

Is that a Trinidad?

Correction everybody thinks that the worms they're not, they're not it's actually nerve endings that they have they look like worms but they're not you can keep the big ones and eat them

how about have set areas where you can fish? Say like every couple hundred feet have areas marked out and do the opposite so the boaters can see the areas when passing under. Just an idea maybe they can keep everyone happy.

Have fishing zones where boats dont pass under

You said Jack's rod...😅😅😅

Maybe they will re-name it “Karen Bridge”. Maybe the fisherman don’t like the bicyclist running over their fish bait and fish guts.😂

It was probably the Karen that called the FWC on you. They got so tired of getting calls from it everyday that they finally decided to just close the bridge altogether.

Unfortunately, this happens all the time. A couple of bad apples ruin it for the rest of us.

Too bad no more fishing from the bridge. Looks like a great spot.

huge fish off this thing, he asked for a fishing license for fishing off a bridge? Do you need license? I thought it was for fishing on a boat only.

Not even a fisherman rule in general clean up after yourself there's always that one person who ruins it for everyone

Don"t cut the legs off the bait crab, only cut the flippers if your using whole live ones.

Use drone for fishing

You cane not take the fish home?

I am a fisherman that likes to leave my fishing spot cleaner then I found it. I see so many people fishing that just dont care and leave a huge mess. Especually when they are drinking. They should go to a bar or better yet if there gonna drink. If your deinking your not fishing.

Are there any fishing videos on KZfaq that don't feature a-holes with guns and badges?
