 Hey everyone shiver 1,000 here sorry about the lighting The Sun's just it's right over top ahead. It's about one o'clock We're out here at our little Creek Bank again or Channel or canal but every it's not a canal. It's like a channel So we're gonna do a little fishing today See if I can't Redeem myself for getting stomped on the other night for monkey So stick around. Let's see if we catch anything. Okay guys. I just got them both casted out Yeah, I had to pay $35 for my license my fishing license the other day because they expired and Monkeys expire I got a hit. Oh, we're gonna hit on both of them. Hang on. I'll tell you a story Well, it's not really a story All right, so anyway Good hit on the banana rod but See that thing that's $35 because we get okay, we get our Reef fishing permit. It's free to fish along the reefs and stuff But our freshwater fishing license is $16 and We're down here, Florida. So and we go over to Gulf Coast and we go down to Tampa and St. Pete and we we fished the coast down there So we have to have our freshwater license, which is another $16. Then they charge us $3 on top of that To do it online, which is weird because nobody's actually doing it. The computer does it. It's paperless So they they still charge us $3 for it plus tax. So it's $35 and 20 some cents or whatever For man to come out and fish now, what if a man's trying to feed his family, you know, this this is God's country This doesn't belong to the government. The government don't own anything Technically we don't either, you know, this this land's only here for us to borrow and You know for a man a poor man to try to feed his family if he goes out fishing He can't afford the license But if he wants to catch a fish to feed his family if he gets caught It's a very hefty fine that he can't afford to pay and that's more money that he's got to worry about coming out of his pocket Instead of going into his kid's mouth. It's ridiculous. I understand, you know Commercial fishermen and stuff like that if I was commercial fishing I get it, but I'm not I just like to go out and catch Some fish 90% of the time we throw them back anyway So it's not right that we have to pay To do something God said we can do freely It doesn't seem right, you know, I mean, it's like over in Crystal River They started charging everybody to use the boat ramp and I guess over the past year They've made over 300 and some thousand dollars for that boat ramp to go back to the park and you're getting less that we was there the other day and What the day for your Saturday we were there and And the grass wasn't mowed There used to be two benches down at the water at the water's edge They're gone and they're not going to get put back up The bathrooms are nasty. They're never cleaned. You never see anybody out there working on anything. It's ridiculous Where's that money going? It's supposed to go back to the park. I Don't know guys. It's just You know, it really upsets me that they charge you To use our property to begin with this is our land, you know, this is ours to borrow Government it's not the government's land You know, I mean To charge a person to go catch a fish to go and they encourage you the DNR Encourage people take your kids out go have a great time, but make sure You pay all the fees to do that What is wrong? I mean, what is wrong with a man and a woman going out catching a fish or a man and Taking his kids out to go fishing, you know And and he has to have a license in order to help them fish really. I mean or he's considered fishing It's ridiculous. Some people can't afford that third. We can't afford it. I mean that pretty much Took the balance out of our bank account just so I could go fishing, you know My license expired at midnight But it didn't come up on my phone So if they would have stopped me, I wouldn't had proof that you know, that was my last day I hadn't till midnight. Well, I'm 59 p.m. So I mean it doesn't make sense and then you know because I have it on my phone Because if you go to Walmart by them, they give you that receipt you put it in your pocket It's faded out in three days. You can't read it So that's why I have the app and I got monkeys on there, too. So It's just ridiculous, man. I mean the stuff you have to pay for nowadays I mean, I know you've had to pay for licenses for a long long time But why? To do this, you know, well last monkey said well last all year I shouldn't have to pay it to begin with, you know, I shouldn't have to pay $35 to go fishing for the year, you know And some people only go out once or twice a year. It's not, you know, that's ridiculous And where we go over Crystal River, it's salt water and fresh water fish, okay? Because that's where it Intermingles the water. So you might be fishing there and catch a saltwater fish And if you only have your freshwater license and you catch a saltwater fish out of your control You know, you're gonna get fined if you don't have your saltwater license It's crazy. All right, I'm getting a bite over here Let's see what happens. I'll kick you on in a minute See if we can get something to latch on to one of these lines here So I'm getting some bites. I just had a pretty good little pull on this one on the banana rod here But it dropped it. Usually that's what a catfish will do when they're hinting It was like tapping then it started to pull and when I got ready to Drive my pole it let loose But usually when they do that they'll come back and get it, but Yes, I mean That's not really rant. It's just I'd like to be explained to you why Okay, you know, I bought these fishing rods Well monkey bought me that one, but you know, they're bought and paid for I don't have to pay taxes again But if you own land you got to pay taxes every year. It's called a land tax. Well The thing about that is as I was talking to a tax man one time About taxes on my business because he didn't like that. I was just charging cash I only took cash and not credit card not check because he Because he didn't like the idea of that Well, you can't just charge cash. You have to charge it and take other form. No, I don't you know cash is legal tender says it right on it and But anyway, you know And we got in the discussion how come you have to pay taxes on your house every year once it's paid off You're still paying taxes. He says you're not paying taxes on the house. You know the lumber the concrete You're not paying tax. You're paying tax on the land. I Said oh, so the government Even though you buy it the government still owns that land. He says well, no actually if you want to get technical nobody owns land you know It's it's it's God's country. It's you know, God's doing it. Nobody can actually own land. I said then how can The government tax something they don't even know And that's when he started getting smart alecky well, I'm not I'm not I'm not here to you know to debate with you I'm just saying I said no, I know what you're saying if the government says it. It's right no matter what and That's not right. I mean, you know that car. I don't have to pay tax on it every year. You know, we bought it. It's ours monkey paid 29,900 for her house the house we live in right now. She paid cash $100 bills for that house She saved up for 10 years and bought that house with cash plus tax And we still got pay tax on it every year But like he said, well, you're not paying tax on the house. You're paying tax on the land government don't own land They it's an entity. They can't own land Technically none of us can own land because when we die it's going to somebody else anyway, so it's only it's only ours to borrow really So how can the government tax us You know, it just doesn't make sense. There we go. We're getting pretty good hit now Banana rod here Well, it's a hot one today Of course wearing the sun There is a little bit of a breeze so that helps Got a hit on the black max. So we're getting some hits Again, I didn't bring my body cam because you know, it's just it's so hot So they're starting to hit. This water is really low It's usually up. It's probably Between 8 and 12 inches low Usually up higher than this, but that's okay. We're just uh That's about time to go fishing isn't it monkey said why I said never mind She goes, well, you won't go fishing. We'll go fishing. Just say you wanted to go fishing. That was my way of saying I wanted to go fishing We didn't have anything planned today. No doctor's appointments. It's Monday. So I said, oh, you know, let's go sit on the creek Let's go sit on the creek bank for a little bit. So that's what we're doing guys So thanks for my little listening to my little rant. I just don't understand it, you know Yeah, after you're so old, you don't have to pay for license. I get it but Why do we have to pay for license anyways, we're not we're not commercial fishermen We just like to come out and do a little fishing doesn't make sense to me but Probably next year, I don't think I'm gonna pay for that because I think it's like a 55 60 dollar fine So, you know, I mean when I lived in Ohio, I didn't buy license for over 20 years and I thought, you know 55 60 dollar fine. I'm still ahead of the game at $16 every year Same here. I'm I'm just I probably won't buy him next year. I just don't believe in that You know, I just don't believe a man should have to pay that kind of money to go catch a fish and throw him back in It's ridiculous But anyway, there's something latch on latch is on to one of these I'll kick you back on Okay, guys, are you recording? I can't say anything. I got a hit over here on the black max it That's something on here Not fighting very much. So I think it might be a damn turtle Like I said, I don't know what you guys can see and what you can't I'm betting it's a turtle. It is wrapped up in a whole bunch of moss Maybe if I give him some slack, maybe sorry about the wind Maybe he'll get himself out of it. I don't know. Let's see Sometimes they'll try to go back out and They'll get their cells untangled He's up here towards the edge, but again, let me give him some slack See if he tries to take off if he does that'll be good But it's not fighting, you know what I mean, I can feel him pulling but I didn't bring my boots I wore my shoes. I wasn't thinking just threw my shoes on So I can only get down here so far. Got a hit on the banana rod here, too I don't think it's gonna work Can't reach it. I need to get him up here farther. He's got too much moss on him I can't see him, but I did get some moss off of here. I'll speed you up through some of this catfish A turtle Oh, no I heard you fighting him. He's got all this moss on him. What do you need? I need help. Oh, you just came to check on me? Yeah. Thank you Oh my god. You hear him hissing? Yeah Yeah, he's mad. That's all the farther it goes. Look at that. Did we stop recording for me? Push that button on the back. Great. I'll be back with you Well, that don't look funny All right, let's go back to fishing Okay guys, so this is a roller a roller rod. It's good to like 200 some pounds. I think it's printed on here somewhere where I looked it up but That helps keep That stuff from happening But I mean, that's all right. That's it's only the fourth or fifth rod that I broke or lost Since I've started fishing down here in Florida, so which Tops all the fishing rods I broke or lost in a lifetime in Ohio All right, let me get baited up get casted out. I got to cast out the banana rod out again Hopefully no more turtles. Yeah, see that's not a casting rod It's just more of a trolling rod or deep sea rod that you take out and you just kind of drop it down beside your boat You know and let it sink but So I can't really cast it But it's better than nothing How you doing? Freakin turtle. Oh, I've seen the pole been over pretty good. I said he's got a nice size bass on there Oh, you broke it. Yeah No, I'm I'm gonna say he broke Yeah, it was just a just a turtle man I Can't believe that broke before this well that 17 pound test Yeah Yeah, YouTube Yeah, yeah Shea Bear 1000 you should check me out Shea Bear 1000 SHA BEAR 10000. All right. Yeah. Yeah, check it out. I'll be on there But yeah, that's a man every time I come here Every time You got a baby gator one day The biggest Yeah I got a 19 and Something pound turtle out of here. Yeah. Yeah, she caught I don't know 18 pound out of here I don't eat them. I just let them go because they're just so hard to clean, you know. Yeah I mean, you know a guy that cleans turtles every day of his life It takes him 40 minutes, you know, and he's he's good at it Yeah, so I mean I did one of 42 minutes one time of those years ago, and I was like, you know Now if it was survival, oh, yeah, I'd be I can go home and have a steak. I don't need that turtle Yeah All right. Well, you have a good one. Yeah, you have a great week man. Be safe. That's pretty cool seco energy guy Stop You already see my pole man over wanted to see what I had a minute ago So yeah, that's pretty cool But yeah, I'm gonna try to get this thing things not casting right here But it's just a Zebco 33 not the newer one my my vintage 184 1984 Man, I think cast is so good That's one the fish stole from me. So I don't know how many I've lost four or five I've only lost one to that fish, but the other one's got broke because of fish or turtles so So yeah, if I get a turtle on this one, I'm not even gonna fight it because this thing There's no way With eight pound test in this this little rod here's gonna do anything But monkey wanted to get me one I think she won this planter game off a team who wanted to get me one That's collapsible for like when I do solos and stuff. I can put it in my pack. So it's great for that You know small fish paying fish bluegill stuff like that I wouldn't want to bring in a five pound fish with this this rod will just snap probably but Yeah, that's a I Could probably fix that. I probably will I got a bite. I probably will until I can Get another rod see that at $35 fishing license fee, you know, that could have bought me a decent rod, but you know whatever But anyway, we make do we're not going home Ben Ben our our Walmart Net up so and it's aluminum you try to straighten them. They'll break so But yeah, I'll show you this thing doesn't it's not a cast and it's so heavy But like I say, it's just for trawling or deep sea and so heavy and It's so short too, you know, it won't It doesn't it won't throw your bait out I'll show you it's just that one wasn't too bad All right I'm gonna go get a drink of pop Yes, I'm from Ohio that stuff's pop not soda. So oh well good enough for now. All right guys, whoa, I got a Got a bite on the banana rod. I Hope it's not a turtle Doesn't act like it a turtle usually Won't like bite and tap usually it just grabs a hold, you know, just your lion will just start moving You know, your rod will start bending down and that's what they do. They just pick it up and go with it, but oh well Bless her heart monkey come down. I thought maybe she had issues up there because I could have just let this go You know, I could just hit the release and it would have been fine, but she came down to help me As soon as I told her I see I hit the record button for me Because it was gonna be a little bit. I mean as soon as she did that snap That's her. Thanks for the help monkey. I appreciate it Because she knows it's hard for me to get down these banks So she came clear down here See if I needed help. Thanks, Monk. I appreciate it and thank you guys for watching. I appreciate it. All right I'm going to get a drink. I'm gonna recast this because I'm over I'm way over there by them lily pads and Turtles like to hang out over there. That's usually where I catch the gar and mudfish, but Also turtles Yeah from now on I used to you know, usually bring them out and wham, but that one was probably only about 15 pound 14 15 pound From the looks of him. He could almost fit in that net Which I had him in the net and then I Got the pull off her. She was holding my rod and I brought in some slack and I went to pull his head up so I can get him rest away in the net snap I'll be back guys Okay, guys monkeys got something up here Easy. I'm real him to you quit backing out into the road. Well, don't it. Well you gonna do it, honey Okay, I understand but you have a real Shit, I've got the we go get the net. Oh Nice channel set him down there. Nice channel cat You got quit backing out into the road. You got a real real it up to you if you back up that's gonna make it worse Hey guys, I'm gonna take you back I'm gonna get my pliers. I'll go get him. I just want to show this. Oh, okay. I guess monkey's going after him Yeah, I caught a fish. Oh, no, I'll go get him cuz I got my broad on it. Okay. Good job, Monk We didn't weigh it. I'd say he was going on three-pound two and a half three-pound What I was gonna say was this rod here doesn't move you got to watch your line real closely So you got to have it kind of loose getting a Getting a bite on it. But what I did was I unlocked them Going up there to her that way Nothing can take my rods look like he was wanting to run with it. Let's see if he will She was back clear almost into the road He's trying to go under them weeds That explained to her if you got a dog on a 10-foot lead he's got more Chances to room To her if you got him on a short lead. I said think of it that way you got a real use it But he was trying to go under there. Yeah, but walking backwards to the road is not gonna You can quit hitting Check our bait That bait's still on there. So Nothing big. All right guys. I'll be back with you. I'm counting that turtle That's monkey seen him I seen him I'm counting that as a catch Monkeys got one fish. I got no fish one to none Did get a turtle however, so we're one to one. All right guys. I got one on here Oh, no, I think he I think he got me under a log or something. I do know there's a snag out there, but that was a fish too Well, you only got my hook That was a good fish, but I think there's a root or something down in there. I know there's a snag So, okay guys, I'm getting hit on this pole here. It's a Shakespeare so It's not like a real high dollar rod, but It's not cheap either I mean, it's decent. I Don't know if I'd want to put 200 pound on it, but yeah, I mean, yeah, you can't Y'all watch your line you got to keep your line loose Because it you know that the end of that rod is not gonna move at all monkeys like just Just cut the line whenever you get a turtle. I said no because then it won't count She said look I'll count it, but she said them turtles are You know, they're just too hard on you just cut the line I said it costs money every time I do that. She said it costs money every time you break a rod too, which is true So it's hard to tell When you got something on here because you know your poles not bending your rods not bending It's got to wait for it to pull. I want to check my bait cast back out again Yep, still on there Good thing about these chicken guzzards is they stay on pretty good You can't cast that was about almost as hard as I could cast that thing and I'm only 15 feet out from the bank Sorry, it's not so exciting, but that's getting ahead though. This one's not casting real well either Something's hitting on that though This one I got to check it every time Or the end will fly off of it That's pretty much out where I just had it. It's got a it's got a bite already, too Yeah, cuz she came down to get a water Ask her grab me a pop and she brought my pop over And I was baiting this one. That's when I when the hook broke off So it's just I got the hook back on just baiting it She said that rods moving. I said it is she said yeah, I said is it going out? She said yeah, it's going out and I was like I don't care She said you're tired aren't you? I said, yeah And then them turtles wear you out. Yeah, well Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not supposed to lift more than five pounds anyway Can't sit at home wait to die either There's something hitting on this one here not taking it yet though So that's why I'm thinking it's smaller fish Usually if it's a pretty good size fish It'll hit maybe it'll hit once maybe twice and then it'll it'll just take it will swallow it and take it That's why I think when they're biting like that, they're not big enough to actually get the whole hook in their mouth I'm using a Number one circle hook so it's kind of Medium it's not small, but it's not big so and You know, I've got pretty good luck with them If I use a smaller hook, I'll be catching the little fish all day long. I don't want to do that I also think it's smaller because You know, it's not out very far It's in here where the smaller fish are I'm gonna try to recast this thing. I guess it was out. It was out there about 20 feet, I guess There's where I want to be. That's where the catfish and the gar Well turtles too, but Didn't cast this one. I want this one out towards the middle there I hope I don't get any too super huge on this one because there's no way This rod will bring it in It's a pound test. I could probably bring in a 12 pounder with it, but uh well, maybe a 10 pounder, but I Don't think the rod The rod will hold it. I don't think the rattle. I Don't think it can handle it Shoot all right monkey's got a fish. I hear saying oh, baby All right, I'm gonna listen. I didn't lock that one. Let's go see what monkeys got. No clothes though The blue gill That's blue gill All right, let me get him off there. All right, so Monkeys one up on me Damn it. That's good though. She got a fish. I didn't knock my chair over I had one drink out of that pop she brought me Lord, that's all right. I got another one. So Good job, Monk. How'd you hear that? Dear say thank you But no if I want to buy a tractor or something. She don't hear that. I think she's got scuba divers Putting shit on her line What you got? Is it a turtle? Let it off a little bit Turtle yeah, you're soft down. Oh Good catch a turtle. I Had to keep up with you Look at that that soft shell isn't it? Oh, they're supposed to be good to eat aren't they? Just rest he's in there whoo what a friggin fight. I'm gonna go get my Scales 16.61 16.61 and you're bringing him in on 12 pound test And that $20 one more rod and I just said to him I said, you know, just cut it I can't do that. I be in the dang water and I don't know how he does it And he just did two today. So that's that's a lot for him. Yep It's all right. Don't move It's all right rest tomorrow, right now. I got stuff to do There you go Now I gotta get his hook out Okay, so she did good on that one. She stood right up the edge of the bank and kept control of it She said yeah, that was a lot easier because the farther out you go the more he can go left and right If you're right up on him, he's limited on how far he can go I had her line finally snapped when I was trying to pull his head out to get the hook out of him but That's okay. He got away with the hook, but that's all right. Don't rust out. Don't worry But uh He didn't swallow it. It was just there. So But um, I felt I was gonna have to do it any wavery rigor. So I got we saved her sinker and So I've just put another hook on I went ahead and re-rigged her because I could feel you can feel your line It's you know, it gets kind of kind of freed even though it's a mono filament It just you can feel it and so Yeah, I just went ahead I was gonna fix it for her anyway, so Yeah, I was getting some good bites here, too Well, no runners, but they were biting I still got my bait so I'm gonna recast mine out. There's the line for my other Think that's the line for my turtle. He might still be there. I don't know If he is I'll have to try to get him out of there. All right, I'm gonna recast these She's too up on me guys. Oh guys I'm getting bites haven't had any runners or any good hits yet As you can see it's starting rain, but it's gonna pass over us here shortly, so I'm gonna get you covered up I'm gonna keep fishing Okay, some monkeys said she found something. I had you guys sitting in the car cuz You know rain She said she found something. What'd you find? I can't reach it because my flip-flops Is it Minnow trap Remember where that is so don't drag across there. We'll leave it. I want to take somebody stuff Yeah, they're just trying to You know Get bait for their fishing day And I didn't notice it either. She's like there's a leader out here Yeah, that's somebody's Minnow trap, so Yeah, we won't mess with that somebody just trying to Trying to catch stuff for bait. I mean I wouldn't have left it there Unintended but if there would have been a fish on there, I would have took the fish for sure There wasn't so All right, I'm gonna hit on the banana rod here and Hang on a second guys. I lost my rag. Okay. I found it. I put this over you like when I'm When the camera's not rolling Keep the sun off of your if it's just sprinkling but it came a downpour so I had to put you guys in the car so Yeah, it's always like that.

I Said tell search and rescue just look for the black cloud. I'll be right underneath it So I'm gonna check my bait and recast I'm getting a hit On the roller rod here. It doesn't seem to be like a big big yet, but Something's messing around with it and of course it stops because I turned the camera on I guess monkey just got a fish She said it's a little she's gonna bring it down here. So she's gonna she calls it taking a picture She's gonna film it and so She's cut four items today So she's gonna bring it down. We'll see what she got.
