This is a new way to get ever outdoorsman and redneck to act against you

People who want to claim a waterway is a p.o.s. Makes no sense for any landowner to claim the water. And that's not navigable waterways in most rivers because the water isn't even deep enough.

Call Fish and Game! They will settle on your side all day long

Screw Georgia another reason to Move..😅

Landowners own land everyone owns the water. Just stop this fascism.

Access is a right! 🙌

Ya gotta let shoalies tire out a little bit before ya land them and they won’t flop on ya so much

This idiot in the water is a trumper he had no clue about anything.

Next time it floods, file a civil claim against that dude because his private river damaged your property.

Woulda said something like, "I dont want any trouble sir so i'll leave but i just want to let you know its lawful for me to be here, but ill leave because i dont want any trouble"

A private river! I want one.

Ha….he is being respectful but at the same time…he is just being stupid!!!! Why is a person sitting with a pile in a river going to impact a landowner anyway?

You might need a lefty reel after wayching that hookset

It’s definitely unsettled law here in Georgia. The federal government says you have a right access but in Georgia it has to be a navigable waterway, defined here as being maintained by the army corps engineers for commerce if it isn’t, the landowner can throw you off. Read about the national park service battling one landowner on the Toccoa River

That body of water isnt navigable. Only the feds can deem a body of water truly navigable.

Wade fishing CAN be tresspassing....

Its just better to stop fishing and hunting today. Youre treated like a criminal even if you are a good person. Everyone is trying to get money out of you. The laws change so often it is very difficult to stay within the law. If you stop hunting and fishing a huge amount of $ will stop flowing into the state, the courts and the numerous agencies. You dont want to fund criminals Im guessing. If your rights are violated with permission thats what youre doing. And the non meat eaters will find out that hunters love the outdoors and respect the health of animals and Flora and water cleanliness more than any other group and this group funds all the conservation projects. Young people are falling away from fishing hunting and boating more than ever. Want to see rules that are common sense and the people out enforcing them change their aggressive attitude? Quit for a couple years

In Kansas landowners can own a river. You’re trespassing even if you kayak on it. It’s crazy but true. Farmers freak out seeing kayakers and call the cops.

It sounds like this dude has been at the hard cider since sunrise

We are fucked as a society if people can start owning the rivers. Lakes is kind be different to me but rivers are ridiculous

I feel great about everything... ive never made a better life choice.. - reporter lady after flipping her kayak

i see you use a CHEETER BOX....you not a angler,

You own the land up to the waterfront but you can't own the water

Does GOD say you CAN'T?! Because one only has jurisdiction and authority over that which he has created. Since God created man and man created government it sounds like government needs to sit the fuck down.

Sir, please, go under the water right there and just help YOURSELF to a couple lungs full air fresh water

Report him to the game warden.

It is weird how we humans are. We start fishing with a basic kayak because it is cheap and easy to get in and out of the water. Then we say, you know what would be cool! so, we add that, then we say boy if we could add this it would be great. You are just slowly building a boat.

They have to prove they own the bottom of the river to enforce that. Definitely corrupt members of the #GeorgiaHouseofRepresentatives #GeorgiageneralAssembly that passed that law. I bet if they can't prove the own the bottom of the river I would say technically they are stealing land from the state of Georgia

Just keep voting in those republicans y'all and you can kiss a lot more of your rights and freedoms goodbye !!

Navigable. Ok I can’t float a boat, but I can walk. I’m navigating so I’m good!

Yes, no. People tell me “private dock” I’m like “public waterway” I’m in the middle of the water way 20 yards from dock lol, just shut up.

Dunno how much different Georgia laws are different from TNs, but even *if* a creek/river passes through your property here, if your property doesn’t encompass 100% of it (start of creek to finish), you don’t own the body of water OR the land under the creek. Every single not-enclosed by one owner body of water in TN is public property

Home owner doesn't realize that when you buy a home on a water that boarders your property that the water is not included in the property line, but the water does determine where your property line ends. So if the water is depleted then you just gained more land and visa versa.

You can’t own the river

if it is NOT public water -- then someone needs to tell you who the owner is, show the deed, and change the sign to No Public Access

I guess if you want a private river you must buy a lot of land and build a river within that property. .. ? Otherwise there are no land rights to rivers. Also, rivers used to be a primary way of shipping cargo between towns/states etc. If it were private owned there could be serious issues with trade (at that time).

JFC, finish the video...

Ridiculous

Money talks bullshxt walks.

G.a . Is a liberal state Nothing would surprise me

Georgia better vote red in November or its going to get worse.

Kayak fishing is so underrated!! I’ve had some of my best days out there in those shallow areas them big boats can’t touch. I love the content bro

Don’t mess with the troll’s fish! His river his fish! 😆 what a crock of shit, I would have called the G man!

Another ignorant southerner...

you can't own moving water in rivers or the sea tidal rivers as well .home owners a karen .take him to court

Absolutely you can!

Only in the south would they make a navigable river private property! Disgusting what has happened to this country! The people who scream about losing their freedoms the most are the ones trying to take away everyone’s freedoms! The real enemy of America are not immigrants or gays or librarians but the wealthy who live by a second set of rules for themselves!

Georgia: Georgia’s definition of “commercial navigation” gives private landowners more rights than boaters or anglers. In Bosworth v. Nelson in 1930, Georgian courts ruled, “If the . . . owner owns upon both sides of the stream, no one but himself may come within the limits of his land and take fish there and . . . his rights to the fishery are sole and exclusive.” Translation: unless you have permission, no boating, no swimming, no wading, and no fishing on rivers and streams in Georgia even if they are considered navigable. I was shocked to find this out! Georgia is different. If that man owns both sides of the land you need his permission not only to fish, but to even travel through. Crazy stuff!!!
