I'm so happy an essential part of my childhood (Mike Rowe) is still here for me as an adult ❤

mike is one of the most dedicated to try anything! amazing show!

Kudos to the Wadleys, and Mike of course, for helping to rid the lake of those invasive fish!❤✌👍

I love your focus on working-class folks and family-owned and operated small businesses. It's great to see you still "on the air" with your inimitable style and presentation, Mike!

Nice to see that there are still some Native Florida families working to save our way of life... thanks Mike ❤❤

Great show!! Great to see families still working together to improve their lives and the lives of those around them, and the environment! Gotta love Mike Rowe!

Love this episode, much respect to this family making a living doing what they love and doing it together. I live 5 minutes from the space center and I've been fishing on that lake many times and the amount of tilapia in the lake is absolutely ridiculous. Job well done. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊

Mike Rowe is a respectful person. 20ish years I can remember watching him, he goes all in. Doesn't always win, but no one does. And he does do the dirty jobs 100% for the day. Some jobs I'd have said "nope" so fast. But respect where it's due.

I have seen these Dudes & Momma many times, when I am fishing and at gas stations, all around my home county of Polk. I literally live less than 15 miles from Hancock, and know it well. Kudos to Mike. Ain't know way in hell, I am wading in Hancock. Ever! And I am a 51yr Native Floridian & Native American, Muskogee. I ain't scared of any man, not one. But there are some big gators in and around Hancock. BIG AF! Props to the Wadleys.

Mama runs the show.. and she ain't afraid to work! I'm stoked that I came across this channel Mike!

Just imagine the dinner chats or fireside chats you could have with Mike. So glad he is still filming.

THIS is why America is such a great country. Thank you for bringing it to all of us Mike.

I've never seen Mike so out of his comfort zone. 😂 Great show again.

Hey Mikey! I liked it! I liked it a lot. As you cast your net wide to catch all that banter and family comedy. Another great story of family life and some fishy moments. Kudos to your crew and you too Mikey... Cheers, Mate.

This show has to go as long as Mike Rowe can’t continue. Thanks to Mike and his crew. Not to forget the great people he finds and explores. Just a wonderful show. Education comes from all areas. Thanks Mike and Crew.

haha, i saw that episode where he shot the mechanical deer, one of the best yet. the look on his face when he realized that was a fake deer....priceless. haha

For those of us familiar with the "Andy Griffith Show"....surely these are the Darlin's family-the fishing version...😂

God bless you Mike, you educate, entertain and make people laugh. Thank you.

Mike Rowe is an American classic. This guy has entertained me for so many years. Thanks Mike for your videos, your perspective, and your willingness to show what it takes to do things that people think they’re too good for.

So glad to see hes making shows again

What a great show! Not only did you highlight a way to do eco-friendly fishing but you also highlighted the need to do so with an invasive species. Bravo. I loved how they threw back the species that were struggling. And you did it all in your famously entertaining way😉 good on you.

What an awesome family! Hard work, lots of yelling, and even more laughter! I might develop a taste for Talipa now that I know there is wild caught Talapia.

What a great episode! Mama's laugh is infectious 🤣

I hope this video gets this family more business

Mad respect for these people!

There are so many Yankees in Florida these days - a fair number of 'em ----yankees - that on TV at least you almost never hear southern speech in Florida. I'm a southern boy, and I am *so* happy to hear it. 🤠

That was f_in amazing!! I'm a south Florida fisherman and python hunter and I love what these people do!!!

Very hard working family.

My goodness, that laugh... I don't even need to timestamp one of them, y'all already know which ones, and who from 🤣 🤷🙈 ...

That's some hard work!

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

I do love me that family's accent...reminds me of my momma's family!!❤ good honest hard work!!

Always entertaining and informative!!! 😂. Get an F for Fantastic!!!

This is one of the best videos, ever!

Damn,she's not playing !! You move when she blows or she will eat you up! And not in a good way. But her men respect her and would probably do anything for her as well. I had no idea there were wild tilapia. I won't eat farm raised fish. So I stopped eating tilapia . It's really good tasting fish. Good show, Mike.

I really liked the bit at the end explaining plecos and invasive tilapia. They are out there properly trying to improvr their local waters. Its a dirt job

Ain't nothin' gonna happen to Mike with Mama Taren in charge!! Ize more worried 'bout his iPhone fallin' out. 🤣😎👍

Cheers to the Wadley’s! Great video Mike, keep going, I enjoy the content!

ITS A FAMILY TRADITION 💪🏼🙏🐟💯

Mike almost fell into the back rooms 😂

Love the fact that you really get in and try whatever it is. Such interesting videos .

Whoever put the pliko in there needs to be put under the jail! And Mike got some yonder when she said get to work when she was cleaning them!😂😂😂

Dont think i've ever seen someone rip a live fish in half woth such ease lol

That’s a wild way to make a living! Cool. Thanks Mike!

I think I am having fish tomorrow night. Thank you for the great idea Mike!

Very awesome Mike. 👌

I always loved Mike rowe. ❤

So good seeing quality stuff like this.

Thank you Mike!!!

What a wholesome episode

Seeing Mama pull in that net makes me want her on my side in a fight, lol!

Watch out for those stick alligators😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Man.. I just love this Shit 👏👊 What a great family 💪👏 Continued success and TY 🤙... Appreciate ya always Mike ✌️😉

Mike always got that consistently good content

Two takeaways from this video for me... 1) Wild Tilapia are taking over the lakes. 2) Junior Wadley is whooped!

As long as mike can continue to do all this stuff, I won't feel too old to do them either lol.

They sound like my family building an addition together. Always a fun watch.

hay mike love the show iv been watchin u since i was a kid adn now im almost 30 lmaooo crazy love ya cant wait to see more

Tilapia are taking over lake Seminole as well, I’ve heard the flint flooded in 94, which flooded a fish farm up river, then the tilapia at the farm got into the river and down to the lake, I’ve seen some that probably weigh 5-6 lbs, and they make huge beds 3 foot across, there’s a good number of people who thankfully bow hunt them

I love this show cause I actually had no idea tilapia was invasive to Florida 😅

This is great content!

Such a pleasure to watch you Mike🤙🏼. Keep’m comin’ brother.

Disney is much too expensive now, and I'm even talking seasons passes because I live in Edgewater FL, less than an hour away. Too woke and expensive. Now this adventure - I don't get in any water that has big sharks and alligators. Go Mike! You definitely have some kahonas! And I see so much of your mom in you. I heard you reading some of her book and I was hooked. Now don't go near those gators! Safer option is catching shrimp in nets off the boat - the first time I had to pull one's head off it hadn't been on the ice long and that barb got me good! Always make sure they are cold enough in ice so when you snap their heads off they can't barb you back LOL! God Bless you!

Good stuff. I've learned so much from watching you throughout the years. Love you Mike!

Too turnt mike 🤣 socks and all

First to Like and Comment! Thank You Mike!

Down in Floreeda where momma's gonna diddle the dip net with Doodle and Dandy, Mike gets schooled in fishing and physics. "Duh" was my favorite line, and the only one that translates well into English.

I believe they are the descendants of the bank robbers from The Goonies. I was momentarily waiting for a pirate ship to show up.

Mike is safe… it’s the PA’s surrounding him that are in danger 😂😂

Mike you're the real deal.

You have to love people like her

thanks for the informative adventure shows hard work does pay

This is what the usa looks like, far as blue collar and country goes this country needs more of mike rowe and people like him

Awesome as always

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

"See what I mean? You almost never heard that at Disney World"

Never gets old.

A great American family, and that is what America is all about. The freedom to make a living.

00:41 😂😂😂Me neither Mike...me neither.

That poor bastard trying to type my closed captions to where the sentences make sense, but its impossible. Love his effort though. Reminds me of my family in WV, great God-loving people who'd do anything for their neighbors

Thanks Mike

Mike meets the Boomhauers 😂

Great episode Mike!!!

Hard workers, really good at their craft

Mike Rowe another home run my friend. I love your style.

Mama just got in the water 🤣🤣😍

Lake Hancock used to be the #1 most gator populated lake in Florida, through decades of hunting it has dropped to #3. No way in HE!! would I get in that lake. My dad pulled a 13 foot 2 inch gator out of there in 89 that was missing close to 2 foot of it's tail. And for those wondering, the infamous big alligator that is always pictured going through the golf course, that is just a few miles from lake Hancock.

Love ya Mike and you all ❤

Mike you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace

Great series From A Florida boy.

Mike: Ya really think the fish think? Fisherman, after a brief pause: I dunno, but they're smart

Bonus : World's Dumbest Criminal I'm dyin. I love how Momma laughs about it!

I grew up commercial fishing and I've pulled seine hauls. That is a funny way to go about it.

😂😂😂😂 the mother is type of boss.....great show

What a nutty family. Good show Mike

Ayyy! Polk County!

To Mike or your youtube producer: I was watching old episodes of Dirty Jobs (Still amazing! Thanks for the years of entertainment!) and I noticed all your hats from different businesses you, "helped" lol. Do you still have those hats? If so, you should do a video showcasing your hat collection. Thanks again for your long career of witty, hilarious dialogue and bravery when it comes to GETTING DIRTY. Only 1 Mike Rowe! Many imposters but Carly Simon sums it up, "Nobody Does it Better" in the media host sense ;).

That net must weigh a ton…this was amazing to watch. Tilapia are invasive…they can’t pull enough out to make me happy. At this point however the tasty buggers have won.

Hard-working family--the core of the real America!

Mike you are unique for sure
