If you want to organize a catch and rescue party, I’m in!!

Have you notified TPW about this situation? After the freeze, I'm sure they would help move those fish

"Saving fish from puddles" ** Throws fish back into puddle **

One of the best fishing youtubers no doubt!

I freaking love your videos and your overall attitude towards fishing. You are such a good person

its been so long since ive found your channel, im happy to be back!

Funny how he never gives the location. He wants to be the only one to help

Dang Coop! This is a great video man! You took it to the next level man! What a great man or Fisherman I should say you are. God bless you man!

Fish has no idea how close to death it is but still eating lures like it’s another day

Stepped out the box with this one.🔥🔥

Hey! I saw you at the jetties in port A a few days ago. Really cool video my dude!!

This is why he's #1 in Texas. Spectacular in allmost every way

A round of applause for your conservation efforts! Tight lines!

Your coolest video yet! I love fishing. Saving fish isn't an opportunity most of us get. 👍🏽

You should have brought a 12ft cast net to throw in those small ponds you would have gotten everything out of that small pond

This was awesome conservation, Coop! As we say at A&M, “this is good bull”

the expression "shooting fish in a barrel" has been taken to a whole new level!

This is just ONE reason why you are my favorite KZfaq fisherman, you have genuine care and consideration for these fish. Much respect thresher

You are a very good fisherman, lots of respect to you my friend!

Props to you! It's obvious you love our fishery & are trying to save some from certain death as the ponds dry out. Seems a larger holding tank is needed.. may be a kiddie pool in a pickup bed. I am surprised these fish survived the freeze.

Just a thought. You should do a whole series on catching and moving fish out of the smaller ponds to larger one.

Great video and amazing work, keep it up bro

People are going to be fishing every pond around Corpus! 😂😂

I love vicariously through Coop. Fishing saltwater all the time....what a dream!

Good job brotha, your one of the best for texas all about fishing and not trying to push a product for a sponsor

Your drone work is outstanding bud keep it up!

Awesome stuff brother Keep up the excellent work

Have you tried contacting TAMUCC about trying to do some sort is sain net retrieval and transport?

What type of line do you recommend siding on braid tho

Don’t often comment on your videos but this is a compassionate thing to do. Does this happen every year or in certain seasons?

That's awesome coop!! See you on the water again brutha 🤙

Bro that is so sick! That drone footage of all the reds cruising was amazing! Never knew there were isolated landlocked little saltwater lakes like this is texas! I live in Florida have only driven through texas

Great videos and great efforts. Just remember that mother nature does what she does for reasons. We may not like the look of it sometimes but it could be her way of feeding other species. ✌

I would definitely help you transfer the fish!I recommend throwing a castnet man!

Keep up the good work man. Love from WA

Thanks Coop for your help

I noticed ponds like this just behind/beside dunes on Mustang Island on a scout outing in 1967. Never occurred to me that there might be fish in them. Darn it!

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing

I appreciate the effort Coop. Nice job

Are these ponds formed from very high tides or along side the bay?? How many fish did you catch and release in the bay/creek/beach?

So two questions are you on the east coast or west? Are those tidal ponds will they not refill?

That’s insane how much fish are in that water. Great video 🤙🏽

What causes these ponds to form and how far off the main water are they?

Good on you, Coop! You have no idea the impact you made with this little gesture.

Favorite KZfaqr finally posted

You're the best man...love your vids

How do these ponds form? Is this a regular thing? Sorry, don't know too much about TX waters.

So the water level is dropping, how did they get there in the first place? And the water?

Creating some of the best fishing content on KZfaq, for sure. Aspiring to do the same someday

What track was that, in the beginning?

Haven't even watched the video yet and i already know it's finna be a *BANGER* !!!

Absolutely stunning footage. 😍

Does the tide not just come back in? Like they had to get there in the first place I’m just confused

crazy. good job for trying to help :D

Is the fishing better in corpus yet?

You need to do a series special on this saltwater pond fishing🎣🎣

What beach do you fish at could you let me know please

Why are they drying up? Won't they refill?

72 HRS MUSIC! always hits the feels.

also hopefully it’ll get a real high tide plus extra east southeast winds and that’ll fill em back real nice with bait and what not and/or allow ones to go back out and others to go back in.

How did the fish get there?

Whats the update? How many were you able to release?

How do the ponds form?

Depending on the distance between those cut off ponds and flowing water id be throwing a net and running them over to the water or dumping them in a giant tank, you can get a giant 100-300 gallon water tank pretty cheap, fits in my truck bed and id ferry fish back and fourth.

Great vids bro. Long time listener. First time caller. Just subscribe

So if we all go and take all of the fish out of there yet the ponds come back would we be helping the area or we would be making the area worse I’m kind of questioning this

What caused the water to stop feeding these ponds?

Good vid hopefully you can get those fish out

why didnt you cast net any ponds?

So you are saving them by catching them and putting them right back in the pond?

How on earth could they have survived the freeze? Also wondering if the salinity levels are increasing as the ponds drop.

What kind of little trailer is that. Look awesome

Was catching finger mullet by Aransas Pass once and found a puddle full of baby tarpon. Only ever saw that one time. Maybe 10 years ago

Bravo my man, the drone work was spot on.

How did they get in there?

Probably would’ve transported a ton of fish with a cast net !

Good work!!

I live around the area going on days off soon I wouldn’t mind getting some buddies together and try to save them or maybe getting ahold of tx game n wildlife maybe they can help

Threasher a lot of times fertilized eggs get stuck on the seagulls feathers and they will go to those ponds for easy bait fish & the eggs get dropped then hatch.

One of my favorite KZfaq anglers for awhile now . Crazy how the frozen winter killed off a lot of the Texas fishery now these naturally formed ponds and mini body of water are soon to evaporate to an extent . I definitely would contact local wildlife commission . I would think after that winter you guys had they would probably be the ones to want save what fishery you have left . Not saying there is not an abundant amount but I see all the dead fish during the winter . It was insane . Reminded me of red tide here in south west Florida . Way to make an impact Coop! This is not a small feat or win . What you are doing is major !

Are u still doing the catch and release

You are awesome for trying!

I would love to do the same thing that you’re doing. If you could drop the location or email me it. Me and my older brother have big tanks we could use to help transport them

What don’t you use a cast net?

Do other animals migrate every year to eat & survive off of the fish in there ?

Doing a good deed is admirable. If I lived in TX I'd come out and do my part but alas I'm in FL

That is nuts. How many did you save?

What is that place called I want to go so bad

The music is sooo fireeeee makes the video that is great, greater

Good job, great way to get the attention from the local wildlife authorities to manage the situation in a more efficient way to safe those guys👏👏👍👍

You should had posted this to your location so that more ppl was able to help you out.. and big truck would had been good to use just full up the truck bed with about of water.. keep up the wonderful work... take what ever you can to take home

Love this guy. I need someone to edit all our GoPro footage from fishing off our oil rigs offshore.

Can we transport them to Galveston?

Why are there salt ponds? King tide? Storm surge?

I hope you can save those fish buddy. I know you are gonna try your best 🤙🏽

Gosh...it's crazy to see so many saltwater fish in those tiny little puddles.

Hats off to you brotha good stuff 👏

Your awesome man. But I wouldn't have thrown fish back into those ponds. Specially when you knew they were gonna die and you captured my view because the title of your video was saving fish. You saved 2 fish....

Why did you throw the little one back?

Is this a lagoon or coastal pond or well inland away from the sea? I'd say some biology study if it was inland would be interesting.
