yeah! joe you keep fighting the good fight brother. i wish i would have been there with you the day of filming at the dam, i would have leveled that guy that blocked the camera and tried to hamper your filming that day.
Play thier game back on em. Start a tree planting program along your river of beaver perferred species. Then import the hell out of some beavers. Then when they try to remove the beavers cry out that these are rare Northeastern subspecies that need federal protection then get you about a billion from the feds to hire federal rangers to guard your beavers who will natural re-impound your creek/river.
I wonder if the proponents of dam busting are just whacky liberals jumping on to the idea based on the anti dam groups from out west where you have running species like salmon. They outlawed gold dredging in CA because of false acusations of bad for the fish. It was proven that dredgers actualy created more spawning by loosening the bottom creating gavel beds while removing heavy metals from the past like mercury lead etc. and had no negative effect.
They are going to blow up the dam at the Stillwater River here in OH and it is going to ruin the best fishing spot in the world for my family and everyone else that fishes there... We are going to make the most of it before they blow it up this fall.
Make the best of it by making a video. Find others that feel the same way as you and get their opinions on film. There are too many of us here in Ohio that aren't being heard. You owe it to your best fishing spot.
thanks you idiots for destroying another river that god gave us to enjoy i havent ever fished this river but i feel for those who have fished and enjoyed this river let me know what i can do joe to help

They continue to threaten to take the dam out and destroy the fishery. With God's grace it is still in place. Poor children ride their bikes to this dam because it's one of the few places in the area where they stand a chance of catching a few fish. When they destroy the dam the angling community and future fishermen loose the most. The community is robbed to pay to for it. When I was a kid after school this is where I rode my bike to from the poor neighborhood where I grew up.
Hi Joe, this video really hurt me. My sister lives right across the road from the Olentangy on 23. I dont visit and fish often but have in the past and had caught some nice bass. I was wondering how many dams there are and how many more are they
taking out? I live over in Champaign County so my fishing takes place more locally, like the Mad River and the Brown Resevoir in Springfield. I, so enjoy your videos.
This dam is still in place but, the northern section of the River near Delaware is a shadow of what it was. It could support resident populations of fish above the dams, now it has transient populations of small fish. Tactics used to take the dams out were covert. Dollars diverted from the sale of fishing licenses and fines for dumping sewage went to organizations of a few people who paid for news media to push propaganda and lies. We the anglers lost. Thanks for the support.
even though i'm from denmark i know this all to well i've lost lots of fishing ground and i have alomst no more places to fish wich i hate because i love to fish
I agree with you Joe, im a rapper, but at the same time, I love to go fishing, and destroying dams like this video decreases the sport of fishing and the breeding of fishing, hope you stop the destruction of these events.
hmm if they're not using your tax dollars in the right way, then simply draw up a petition not to pay taxes. it's one of the most strongest thing you can do as a whole. those messing with the system and turning this corporate america into a fascist state don't deserve our tax money.
man i use to go to this lake called eisenhower and caught some nice fish had fun but someones been dropping dropper net and took all the fish and i havent seen 1 person catch a fish in months i miss fishing the bluegills i usta catch hundreds a day!
Yeah man i know how yiz feel. in wrightstown, pa, there was a big resivior controlled by a lock/dam type thing, any way, my township comes over and drains the whole thing, killing literaly thousands of largemouth, panfish, crappy, and cats. close to 10,000 fish lay on the banks, swallowing muddy water to a slow death.
i fished that my whole life, i grew up on that place.

digital collective do u mean raritan river nj and joe it would be bad even if they saved the dams but didnt stop pollution theres a place by me in nj called overpeck creek its filthy its so bad that if you eat fish from there regularly u increase ur chance of cancer by 500 times till the govt stepped in and put a stop to the dumping my prayers are with u good luck joe rabidfishermen17
Never heard of this river. I live in Tuscarawas county Ohio. The Dover Dam can NEVER be taken down without building another one. If it were taken down half the city would be under water after a long storm season. Or after it snows and melts come Spring.
yep I'm an angler I fished neshaminy creek for a while now And I had a dream of losing my fishing licscene and losing a spot would even worse sorry for my stupid joking behavior I wish I could help this problem
The goal of these groups are to remove all dams. Every fishing spot is precious. Perhaps one day if the spots you cherish are being destroyed you'll feel differently. I hope that day never happens to you.
It's ok. We just want to save our spots. You havnt had that happen yet. Perhaps we can stop them before it does. Help us by writing a letter to the mayor. Every letter counts.
Water levels will drop and the amount of fish like largemouth, crappie and catfish will decrease if they remove the dam because there wont be enough water to support them. It's happened twice in Delaware, Ohio on the Olentangy with disasterous results. We cant repeat that mistake again.
Ya know joe, i watch all your videos over and over because, well, your just great fun to watch, but i had always overlooked this particular video. This is powerful stuff. I was just wondering if you had to be an OH citizen to protest this?
No need to be an Ohio citizen. Our Mayor needs to know that people all over the Country and the World are watching. Please send the letter. Every letter helps.
Thank you so much for watching the show. I really, really appreciate it. I just want to save our fishing spots.
This is a great Video, and I agree With all that you say here! most people think that taking away the dam will help but, on the contrary it destroys the mini ecosystem that has built up making it harder for fish to react to such a change! and making dams is going green you guys, it doesn't leave CO2 in the air! it might be an eye sore but the fish love it!
Yesterday one of the big proponents of destroying this dam threatned to sue me if I released the rest of the video showing all the fish I caught in the pool above this dam. He & other institutions have lied to the public saying there are no fish above this dam. My new video proves it's one of the best public fisheries in Columbus, Ohio. This dam was originally built for recreational use among other reasons. Please sign on to my site & send a letter to the mayor to help save our fishing spot.
This is bullcrap Joe, it upsets me when they ruin wildlife habitat! Woods & waters need protected. Glad you made this video and I'm writing a letter to the mayor.
Joe, it's late Feb 09 when I saw this. I'll be making a visdeo in late April obout 1 of our lakes here that I worked to save, and we got it done. I hope since this ame out that you got good news, got what you all needed. I'm petitioning the State to build a new lake here in Ross county. It might be about 10,000 acres when done. If you have my phone and you still need help, give me a call.
The Muskie was caught about 30 miles away from this area but, youre right. They are determined to wreck our fishing mostly because they care nothing about it. Sign on to my site and send a letter to the Mayor to help us save our fishing spot.
was that nice smallmouth and the " Dont hate the spinnerbait" video shot there? cuz im goin to send a letter to ur mayor. i dont live in ohio though but i tink thats just terrible that they said it would help the fishing
hey love the vids i live about 5 miles from lake Vesuvius and me and my buddys used to fish these 2 little ponds right around from my house and they both were awesome rarely fished and had very good sized fish in them then the state bought the land and shut them down not a dam but still the same problem i pay for a license to fish but they keep taking peoples favorite fisheries away
they Added those dams for a specific reason several years ago. So everything around it Has adapted to "THAT" Environment. then they remove them ?? that ruins all the habitat surrounding it. the shallower water prevents the surrounding plants and animals to fight for there survival. What reason did they even give for removing these dams ??
On Thursday when I asked the guy who proposed the dam removal why, he said it was cheaper to remove the 5th Avenue Dam than any of the others. AdeptAngling sign on to my site and send the Mayor a letter. Every letter counts.
joe there doing it to my raritan river and delaware.wait till lamprey run upstream too far...they build something called a 'fishladder' well it killed my smallmouth bass but im having a different problem im having outlandishly sized catfish eating everyhting im talking 3 to 5 footers...i havent hooked any nice bass either.if theirs anything i can do like sign a petition ill do it.
Send the letter. Click the banner on my homepage to go to my site. Click the tab that says save the Olentangy and write the Mayor of Columbus a letter letting him know this is a mistake.
I was in shock to find out those supporting removing the 5th Avenue dam say that reservoirs and dams restrict natural flow. I thought hold up O'shaunessy, Griggs, Hoover, Delaware and Alum Creek are all reservoirs in Central Ohio. Those places are on their destructive wish list as well. We've got to stop them. Sign on to my site and send the Mayor of Columbus a letter. We've got to take a stand.
Hopefully more dams can be saved from these neo nazis. Luckily The destruction of that dam can be used as an example and will be a good tool to protect more dams.
First step is to send a letter to Mayor Coleman saying save our fishing spot, save the 5th Avenue Dam. Tell him what you think and how we are being treated, let him know that we as anglers oppose this. His address is on my site.
Second step is to email and send this video to everyone you know who wants to help.
Step three is most important. I'll be organizing a meeting of anglers. Watch my site for the announcement.
That's right, communist liberal bastards try to fuck over sportsman however they can....ban guns, tear down dams, increase licenses....pricks! I say save the dams, so one day Joe's kids might have some good fishing too.
Its sad. You should see the comments the Busters said about this video on the Ohiogamefishing site under the thread titled
"Alum Creek Lowhead # 2 in process of removal"
The busters said and I quote
"The second guy appears to be someone who pulls up to the dam, throws a worm on the bottom and thinks its the only place in C-bus to fish, then leaves behind his bait containers and beer cans"
They talk about us like we are trash and call us ignorant. Just take a look.
I support your video on the dam situation in Ohio Joe...I know for we have a big dam and little dam on the vermillion river in Pontiac Illinois and I tell yu I cant even imagine no dams there. I caught my 7 pound largemouth at the big dam and many 2 and 3 pound smallies too. Its not right ...BBBH from Illinois
very true, when you're taking a dam away, your not only lowering the river/lake level you are also killing fish our nature that is where they live down at the base of the damn at a tree swipped on the side of the damn, not only that when the water drops you still have water spots along the bank's and what is in that water? MINNOWS hundreds of them thats killing hundreds of fish. fish need a place to run to go to swim up stream and spawn but cant do it if the river level is down to half a foot.
Joe you have my support, this is wrong. I have seen what dam removal did at rt. 36/37 and you can ride a bike across it. This is not just stop great fishing spots, it stopping intercity fishing, and kids are the future we spend our hard earned money on fishing licenses. This is not allowed to happened, the beginning of the video is fact enough!
JOE that's some deep stuff. I from Ohio i did not Know they doing things like that. You sound like you have the right thing to do. Everybody get together and stand up. Small people like us get f!@# all the time. Thanks a lot, I will favorite this video myself.
I agree a hundred percent this is happening also near me they are demolishing a canal near my are about 30 minutes away and i love watching u fish. Man our world is messed up and ur right this act is a dumb one. KEEP IT UP JOE
I would hate for the dams to be removed and the water would just be a trickle. I hope the don't remove the dodridge dam also! That is where I do most of my fishing. Keep it up Joe I agree totally!
If you spend time below the Dodridge dam this will effect your fishing as well. The 5th Avenue dam supports the huge pool that many of the fish live in that travel upstream to Dodridge street. Thanks for the support please tell everyone you know to send the Mayor an email saying save the dam. His email address is on my site.
We have lost so many of our good fishing spots on the Olentangy River its so sad. They are diverting EPA fine money paid for dumping sewage into the river to special interest projects to destroy our dams. I just hope enough people see the truth and they let the Mayor of Columbus, Ohio know this is wrong to save our fishery.
Sounds like you have a fight on your hands and hope you win as i whould love to have a dam on my river as big cats spawn there and so many fish move in to and around the dam as we have a dam on a creek and its good fishing!
yeah! joe you keep fighting the good fight brother. i wish i would have been there with you the day of filming at the dam, i would have leveled that guy that blocked the camera and tried to hamper your filming that day.
PEACE!!

Second step is to email and send this video to everyone you know who wants to help.
Step three is most important. I'll be organizing a meeting of anglers. Watch my site for the announcement.
We can save the dam!

That's right, communist liberal bastards try to fuck over sportsman however they can....ban guns, tear down dams, increase licenses....pricks! I say save the dams, so one day Joe's kids might have some good fishing too.

Its sad. You should see the comments the Busters said about this video on the Ohiogamefishing site under the thread titled
"Alum Creek Lowhead # 2 in process of removal"
The busters said and I quote
"The second guy appears to be someone who pulls up to the dam, throws a worm on the bottom and thinks its the only place in C-bus to fish, then leaves behind his bait containers and beer cans"
They talk about us like we are trash and call us ignorant. Just take a look.

I support your video on the dam situation in Ohio Joe...I know for we have a big dam and little dam on the vermillion river in Pontiac Illinois and I tell yu I cant even imagine no dams there. I caught my 7 pound largemouth at the big dam and many 2 and 3 pound smallies too. Its not right ...BBBH from Illinois

very true, when you're taking a dam away, your not only lowering the river/lake level you are also killing fish our nature that is where they live down at the base of the damn at a tree swipped on the side of the damn, not only that when the water drops you still have water spots along the bank's and what is in that water? MINNOWS hundreds of them thats killing hundreds of fish. fish need a place to run to go to swim up stream and spawn but cant do it if the river level is down to half a foot.

Joe you have my support, this is wrong. I have seen what dam removal did at rt. 36/37 and you can ride a bike across it. This is not just stop great fishing spots, it stopping intercity fishing, and kids are the future we spend our hard earned money on fishing licenses. This is not allowed to happened, the beginning of the video is fact enough!

I would hate for the dams to be removed and the water would just be a trickle. I hope the don't remove the dodridge dam also! That is where I do most of my fishing. Keep it up Joe I agree totally!

If you spend time below the Dodridge dam this will effect your fishing as well. The 5th Avenue dam supports the huge pool that many of the fish live in that travel upstream to Dodridge street. Thanks for the support please tell everyone you know to send the Mayor an email saying save the dam. His email address is on my site.
Thanks again.

We have lost so many of our good fishing spots on the Olentangy River its so sad. They are diverting EPA fine money paid for dumping sewage into the river to special interest projects to destroy our dams. I just hope enough people see the truth and they let the Mayor of Columbus, Ohio know this is wrong to save our fishery.
Thank you for all the support.
