"Why do u keep your gun in your kayak with you?" This reason right here lmao

I have to say I absolutely loved that comment back"I always have one on me bubba".. then "if you don't give me any reason to I won't"... Hands down best way to let someone know u ain't the one!!👍😅👏👏

My cousin & I were fishing on a Narrow river once & there was some people who were in a big surf boat & they were wakeboarding, there were a lot of people who had John boats like us who were fishing also & every time they sped past people they were throwing up big waves almost capsizing the smaller boats people were complaining to them about it & they didn’t stop , they were flipping people off & cursing people out , well my cousin & I were fishing by some big concrete pillars that were sticking out of the water & they were at full speed running towards us with no intention to turn my cousin having a conceal carry permit pulled his weapon & fired up in the air , still they were running full speed toward us so he let one go into there hull of there boat , I guess they got the hint after that because shortly after that they packed up there boat & waited on us to come back to the boat ramp . When we got to the boat ramp there was police waiting on us & they asked use what happen & we told them , the other party denied ever doing what they did but I had it on camera & they didn’t know this . I show the police the camera footage & they ticketed the other party for what they did because they were not allowed to wakeboard on that river because of it being narrow & they arrested the driver for putting other boaters in jeopardy in doing so . My cousin was never arrested because of firing his weapon because are life’s were in danger however they did check to see if everything was legit with his permit for the weapon . A few months down the line the owner of the big boat tried to take my cousin to court for damages done to his boat & lost the case because he was in the wrong .

"Did you know the Earth is flat?" "That's what I've heard." I know it must have been a little stressful and very frustrating in the moment but that had me rolling.

Mental instability is such a sad thing. That being said, "You know the earth is flat?" "That's what I've heard" did make me laugh. Good job on removing yourself from the situation and calling in the gang that gets paid to handle things like this.

Hey man glad my rod made your channel thanks again dude your a class act.

I need to start carrying my gun with me when I fish. Too many wackos out there

This video has earned my subscription. Every other youtuber would be right up in the cops faces trying to get content, but you were way more respectable than that! great video and good job!

You did an awesome job with how you handled everything . I hope that guy gets the help he needs

Respect, The fact that you have tried to find the owner of that rod says a lot about you. Many of the people here would have just kept it. That is really good on you, sir.

Thats was not a good situation to be caught up in. Hopefully he is alive and gets the help he needs. Alex, you handled that flawlessly. I do carry, but pray to god I'm never forced into using it.

Bobby says "Don't mess with my dad...you might catch these paws" 🐾

These are the greatest thumbnails! I’m dead 😂😂😂

I’m glad you’re ok brother. That’s an insane experience 😂

Glad your ok and hope that guy gets the help he needs

I had a similar situation at the same park last year. That park is a magnet for shady people. Dude got mad at me cause I didn’t have a lighter screamed loudly and flipped off the dock and swam with the current screaming till out of eyesight.

That’s why I carry my gun with me every time I go fishing. Rather it’s for an alligator or just some stupid Interaction like that! Glad everything went well at the end. And good luck on your angler of the year. You can do it brother, you’re a good fisherman, I have faith in you 💪🏼💪🏼

God bless you and the family, Brother! I am happy you handled the situation the way you did!

That escalated quickly! You definitely handled it well. Glad you are ok.

Definitely subscribed after watching this video. Mad respects for looking out for someone who needed help. Y’all definitely did the right thing and my hat is off to both of you gentlemen. I hope he got the help he needs. Thanks a year later!

You never know what kind of situation is gonna happen at the boat ramp, glad it didn’t turn ugly…hope dudes okay and you definitely handle the situation like a champ.

That’s crazy bro! I think you handled it perfectly. Oh and that Ark Invoker is a sick rod! I love them!!

Content of the year Alex! This is why I hate docking at the public spots. I try my best to drop at a not so obvious spot. I mostly worry about my truck. 🙏🤷‍♀️👍

You two are good peoples. most people wouldn't even care enough to make sure he got off the streets and hopefully gets the help he needs.

Great vid man, sucks it had to go down that way, but keep these tournament vids going.....I'm tryin to break out into the kayak tournament scene here in Texas and I'm tryin to soak up as much info as I can!

Brother man you did the right thing by getting away from that Man and getting yourself safe. I was a Correctional Officer for 28 years and seen some crazy stuff throughout my Career, but that was definitely a 5150 moment. When you deal with this in a nearly weekly basis you just know when someone is not stable. Prayers to you and definitely to that man that if the worst didn't happen and he get's the help he needs.

Alex I hope you win angler of the year. I'm sorry you had to experience that guy at the ramp but you absolutely did the right thing!

Well, that was one hell of a first kayak tournament for me. Definitely unfortunate circumstances with that gentleman. I did learn a ton, and hope to continue doing these tournaments. Thanks Alex for letting me tag along.

That was Wild!!! All the times I have fished around there I have never seen anything close to that crazy!!! Looking forward to next month!!

It’s definitely not fun homie, I found a dead homeless dude at Third Creek on thanksgiving day 2 years ago… it was the first night of the year it was below freezing and he froze to death… I still think about it but nothing you can do… I even called to see if they identified him or contacted his family and they wouldn’t tell me nothing…. Good luck on AOY man..!!! We finally got moved to SC so all my fishing stuff is still packed away. I’m surrounded by ponds though and super close to Keowee, Jocassee, and Hartwell lakes, not to mention all the rivers and creeks…!!! I can’t wait to get out and fish.!!!

Never a lack of entertainment on the Alex Rudd channel. Glad you’re ok, brother

You handled that like a champ....good job man.....couldve been so much worse if you hadnt of gotten away from him.....people are nuts

Glad you guys are good, what an uncomfortable situation. If you want some bizarre to happen just go fishing! Never fails

I was having fun watching you catch them fish. Also I congratulate you in how you handled that situation, well done!

You guys handled the situation very well.

You did a great job on this crazy day. Proud of you bud

I've come across some real curious folks at boat ramps. Hope he got the help he needed.

You made the right decision to separate your self from the situation and call 911.

Congrats on 45K!

As an avid shore fisherman I can sure relate to that situation. I run into some real sketchy people.I dont carry a gun but I do run fast lol.Im glad you were ok.

I see this is an old video but you handled that impeccably. I like you. Subscribed.

Just when you thought it was a beautiful day for Fishing and Fun. You did the right thing, calling 911. Never know when you're saving someones life. Hopefully he makes it. Man looks like everybody had a tough day. You did good. Glad to see you doing this. Will give me something fun to follow. I've got a 120 AutoPilot but I'm treating some health issues, my be a couple of weeks before I can take mine out. Take care.

That was a different one! I hope the ole boy made it ok and gets the help he needs. Good luck in the kayak series, you can do it!

All is well that ends well and this excursion ended O.K. You handled it great. Great video!

That was crazy bro. So glad you got out of their safe.

You couldn’t of handled it any better way. They called everybody but the national guard 🤣

I could write a book about what all I’ve seen at boat ramps. Especially the ones in this video! I use them all the time haha

Been walking the banks around me with the water down and have found multiple little craw dad shells in some crazy colors . Gonna have to try that ned set up.

I fished my first kayak tournament In September. I have another one in February. Looking forward to it. Hoping to have a great season.

Alex said “I always got a gun on me”! Did we just become best friends? 🤣🤣

Glad you guys made it out safe ,Tight Lines

Yup, that's normal for my local urban creek here in San Diego. County Mental Health facilities is about 1/2 m from the creek.

Strange times we’re living in. Thankfully it didn’t escalate or dude would’ve caught some hands and won 1st place in the black eye tournament 😂

Congratulations on 9th place. I know you got the AOY. Prayers go out for him and his family

Everyone needs to SHARE this!!! LOL!!!

When he said"you know the earth is flat?" You should have said," why you worried about that,it's so far away will never be able to travel that far." It's a good idea to pack, a lot of 2 legged snakes

Just a casual kayaker, but I do love my Hobie. Super easy to peddle around the lakes. Your Hobie looks amazing as well.

That stress sigh at 15:23 😅

What??!! That was crazy. I really hope that gets the help he needs. Drugs in Knoxville have been really prevalent this year. Joking: you have joined the official big time fishing KZfaq club.. best way to 100k subs club is to get the cops haha. Great to see you get a good finish and the points. Good luck at chilhowee!!

Wow you guys did everything perfect when people are doing. Stuff like that it’s hard to not go crazy drugs and water never mix well good job 👍

Hope that dude gets the help he needs. You boys handled that well. On a lighter note , l think I'm going to join my local KBF trail this year. At least when the old lady yells about how much l fish I can say I'm practicing.😂😂

Hey Alex, What do you have to do. To start fishing in kayak tournaments. What all do you have to do. Is it alot involved in it.

Sad that someone like that makes a bad day fishing even worse, if possible ! Hope he’s safe !!

Don’t you love how they explain everything you just watched lol

did you find the. home of the found rod? looked like a decent set up, I recognize the Diawa Regal. hope you were able to get that back to its home.

Your response to him was awesome. “The earth is flat”. “Yeah that’s what I’ve been told” 😀 good job that was cool.

You handled that super well. Way to control the situation and create space. Just bought my first kayak. Do you have any tips for carrying on the water? I usually carry appendix but I’m thinking that my dig into my gut while paddling and be hard to get to with a life jacket on

Clearly HIGH!! Buggin out....glad you gotta outta that my man!

Can you put a link to your kayak. Or maybe just a suggestion. I finally want to splurge and upgrade to a pedal kayak. Any you recommend?

I grew up on that river. You floated right by my Mom's house.

Hey alex when u purchase a new KVD 1.5, do u change out the trebles n if so what do u reccomend?

Here I am expecting a normal kayak with an oar, then I see him pedaling and my mind is just blown. I gotta get one of these!

Cool little fishing Adventure Alex

Are you wearing the AFTCO barricade bibs? If so how do you like them?

LIVE ACTION!!! Never a dull moment in the current! Iv said it time and again boat ramps can be sketchy places. Keep your head on a swivel stay straped PFD, firearm, and phone. Good out come all in all safe entry and exit from the water, the scenario was not escalated and the appropriate authorities were alerted, to get the man the help he desperately needed. Way to go Alex for keeping your cool and still making it to scoring 👍 👏 😎

Drugs are bad!..proud of you Alex...the way you guys handled yourselves... yeah i always have one on me🤣...hope he gets the help he needs...good luck in the next tournament...you got this🎣🤙

15:08 wait a second... I think I know that ramp??? 😜

And this is why I also carry (concealed handgun) during my hunting and fishing outings.

Keep up the great content

What did you do with that sweet spinning rod combo you found? Don't think you ever said? Said you was going ask guy in that kayak, but did you make him identify the exact make and model?

Don't ever just let somebody like this sit there. get them help they need the help too!!!!! Good work brother. Taking care of our Brothers is the work of God.

Be careful out there glad it all turned out okay.

You’ve prob already seen this but since you’ve broken multiple rods in the last couple months- Greg Blanchard turned me onto the CalCoast Rod Mule and that thing is awesome; haven’t broken a rod since I bought it and they permanently live in the bed of my truck.

If he ain’t runnin he gonna float 😂

Handled it very well, dude.

Got exhausted just watching yall march.

Crazy ass morning forsure and a broken rod to boot! A 9th place on a day like that is a winwin. Stay stress free!

Excellent video really enjoyed it what brand are those boots you wearing thanks 👍

Hey Alex your sunglasses rock! What brand are they?

Knoxville really wanted to try out some new toys that day!! If they catch him from the boat with a treble hook would THEY win “Angler of the Year”? Does snagging count? Awesome seeing the boat come in, bet it got the blood flowing with the chopper too! hopefully the guy gets the help he needs, stay safe out there!

Can’t watch any second longer without mentioning, your boots are hella cute bruh 😂

I have your sticker on my Tackle box and didn't even know who you were tbh. Got it out of a megabass box or mtb one of the two. Glad I ran into your youtube page!

On that fishing mission

Addiction is a serious disease I've suffered from it and had friends and family that have and still do. I don't feel sorry for the guy nor did I feel sorry for myself but I get it. Best thing is jail for him. Rehab doesn't work unless he's ready for it.

Love the kayak videos

25 years ago, I was catfishing with my stepsons on a small boat just off the boat ramp. I looked over to the ramp and saw guy wading in the water, then one of the kids hooked into a nice catfish, and after we got it in, we heard the people from the ramp yelling. They had been yelling earlier for us to give him some catfish, they saw us catching. After a few moments, I realize they were yelling for the guy. He had walked right off the ramp into the water and committed suicide. There was nothing we could do he was gone. The problem was the fire department had blocked the ramp doing the search and rescue and there were no lights on the ramp and there were like 10 to 15 boats trying to get into the ramp before dark. It was interesting watching the sheriffs officers, arguing with the fire chief to get off the ramp so we could get in. They finally did. We were truly thankful to the sheriffs department that day.

I don't think there is anybody who hasn't been affected by the drug pandemic. When I get mad at people for being on drugs and doing bad things , I just remember what a good friend told me. "Nobody WANTS to be an addict"......kinda puts it in perspective some.

Boy yall got some great response times in TN.... I called about a fella breaking into cars in the alley by my condo and CPD took 3.5 hours to show up.. just some weird people out in the world.

Great tournament here at start
