 Hey everyone, Shaber1000 here. Today we're back out here at our little fishing stream like a little channel here. We're gonna do a little fishing. It's hot. It's only like 93, so I don't know what the real feel is, but it's it's hot. But we're going to give it a try a couple hours and see what happens. Got my body worn camera on today. So hopefully we'll get some action with that. We just have to see. I'm gonna grab my net, my bait, get casted out. I'm set. I overcasted Ole Yeller, gotten a lily pad over there. Of course I broke the line off because it's only eight pound test. So yeah, eight pound I think. So I got that rigged up now. I've got them both in water. Monkey grabbed all shrimp. I don't care for shrimp. I got some chicken liver in here. That's on Ole Yeller. I got a piece of shrimp on this and it's a very old shrimp. I didn't even know we had it. So I had a couple pieces of a couple squid left. I wanted to bring those, but she grabbed the wrong bag apparently. So I wanted to bring some chicken gizzards, but we'll give this a shot and see what happens. So far no bites. It's only been about 10 minutes. But usually I'm getting bites before now, but it's very hot in that water. I casted the Black Max out and reeled it in and it had a bunch of seaweed moss on it. And man, that water is hot. I mean, really warm like bath water. So I don't know. We'll just have to see. It's still a little hot yet and it's early afternoon, so I forgot my watch. But so yeah, we should maybe they'll start hitting here shortly. I got to get a drink. So I just had a runner on the banana rod. Now I'm getting a bite. I got my camera rolling here. So this camera is getting hot and I've got it covered up. It's not giving me a overheat warning yet, but I can feel that it's pretty warm, really warm. So I'll keep this one rolling just in case something happens before I can get you turned on here. Okay, I'm getting hit on the Black Max and the banana rod. I've got my body camera rolling too. So I can't remember. I think I got shrimp on the banana rod and chicken liver on the Black Max. Better check it. Now, it's still in there. This piece of shrimp must be something small or maybe a damn turtle. Hope not. I get tired of catching them turtles all the time. We'll throw them back out there and see what happens. Hang tight guys. Okay, so I've been rolling on a body cam. I'm getting hits, but they're not taking it. They're just little tiny taps. So I think they're either small fish or small turtle just eating them, getting what they can off of it because I don't think they can get the whole shrimp in their mouth. So like it's hitting right now, but it's just little taps and that's a real thin rod. So it doesn't take much to make it move. So I'll kick you on if we catch something. Hey guys, got some action on the Black Max here. There we go. Yeah, nice. Looks like a catfish. I just snapped my line. I knew I should have grabbed my net right there. I knew I should have grabbed the net. All right guys, that's totally my fault. I thought this 17 pound test would pull it out there, but I was wrong. All right, let me get hooked back up here. All right, we've got a few raindrops. That's a major. Some of them are going to worry about it right now because there's a nice breeze. Cooled down a little bit. That's time to fish right before, during, or right after it rains. So I'm going to get you covered up. I'm going to keep fishing. Yeah, so that sucks. Missing that fish like that. Well, I didn't miss it. Oh, I got a hit on the Black Max. I mean, I got it in. I should have. But as soon as I got him up off the bank and ready to flip him up on it, he flapped, snapped my line. So I shouldn't knew better. Even 17 pound test will break, you know? So I should have grabbed that. I see him though. He was pretty good size. I mean, nothing huge, probably about two pounds. So I mean, it would have been eating size. I'm not eating anything today, but so, yeah, I should grab my net. Oh, well, is what it is. Got something going on on the Black, or here, according on the Black Max here. I don't know if it's still on there, but it's hitting a pretty good kind of running with it and dropping it. Not on there. Might have took my, oh, oh, whatever that was hitting when I was bringing it in. Even in my bait, there was a little piece on it. I should probably try to throw some crankbait out there and see what happens. That worm is a pretty good one. We'll get off of there. She got caught on somebody's string and I lost mine. Jesus. Oh, all right. Let me get straightened out here again. Okay, guys. So getting a hit on the Black Max. I just had a hit on here around the banana rod. He's still hitting on the banana rod. So hopefully, there it is. I don't know if you can see that or not. I think I'm rolling on my body cam. I'm not. Okay, I'm rolling on my body cam now. Still getting some sprinkles, which is fine because it's not enough to get you wet, but it brings a breeze in with it or the breeze brings in the sprinkles. Those are big drops. All right, let me get you guys covered up here. Okay, guys. I'm sitting here in my own business. I don't know how much of this thing got, but hard babe. Hurry. Okay, guys. I guess Monkey got one. Should I just start recording? Huh? No. Okay, don't pull too hard. Okay, easy. Roll your line in a little bit. Okay, okay. Hold on. Hold on. I don't know. It's a turtle. Is it? Catch a friggin turtle. Monkey's big. Yep. 18 and a half. Wow. I didn't let it lock on, but it's 18 and a half. Got an 18 and a half pound turtle. I didn't let it lock in, but it was bouncing between 8.55 and 8.60. So I'm going to call that or 18. I'm going to call that 18 and a half pounds. She caught that on 17 pound test line. So she did good fighting that thing. And it bent our, it bent our net up again. So I'll see if I can straighten it out. That's aluminum, so you can only straighten them out so many times. So, so far she's got me. Oh no. Snagged. All right, guys. I'm going to snap my line. Hang tight. Okay, I just had a good bite on the Black Max. I think he's on there. I think he's coming to me. When's something time you lose some? I was just baiting up the banana rod and I happened to see it. Time to get these casters back out. Oh, he's starting to run with it. All right, he's hooked. I gotta remember I only got 8 pound test on this one. Wow. He's kind of swimming to me. A gar. Yeah, baby. A little gar, but a gar. Check him out. I'm going to have to re-rig after this one. There he goes. All right, guys. I got to make sure he gets down in the water and he's not. He's far from it. Get my net and get him back up here. You know, I've got bitten by a mudfin that monkey caught. He goes 24 inches or something like that. I'm kind of, I don't like messing with these things with teeth, you know? Dang it. That must have been what, uh-oh, something going on here with the Black Max. Now, let's see if I pick this thing up without getting bit. Hate these things because they swing around like this and try to bite you. And he got me. Dang it. Let's see if I can get him with my pliers. There, he's in. Whenever I catch him, something with teeth like that, I always re-hook my line and stuff because, you know, there's teeth just because it looks all right. Doesn't mean they didn't fray it up, you know? So, yeah, I can feel it right down here by the hook where his teeth were. And my sinkers are gone. All right, so I guess I'm going to have to do it anyway. I thought they were on there when I brought him out, but I'm not sure. Uh, all right, technically that's number two. So, since last weekend, Monkey and I tied. I'll call this the tie breaker and I'll give it to her. Though I caught two fish, she only caught one thing, but it's hard to beat an 18 and a half pound turtle. That's pretty good. Monkey, I'm proud of you. Good job fighting that thing because I told you, you know, she watches these fishing guys on YouTube and they just bring it in as fast and as hard as they can. I tell her, you know, pull in real out. But she caught it on a 17 pound test, so good job, Monk. I'm going to give the wind to her unless I catch something really huge right now, but I'm not sure what time it's getting to be. I'm still getting hits, so I'll give it a little bit longer, but yeah, depending on what happens here, I think I'll give her the tie breaker on that 18 and a half pound, 18 and a half pound turtle. That's pretty good. Yeah, I don't know how well this camera picked it up, but I'll get a clip of hers and throw it in right now so you can see how big it was. You can see that I'm getting a bite right now. I think you guys can see that. I think I got him. Oh, it might, it could be a turtle. What is it? I think it's a turtle. I got something guys. I think it's a freaking turtle because he's fighting me. Okay, don't pull too hard. Yeah, he's right in there. I'll water there. Be careful. You get underneath all that moss or whatever it is. Is it a kind of turtle? Waited all day to catch something and I catch a freaking turtle. 18 and a half. Wow. I didn't let it lock on, but it's 18 and a half. That's pretty good size. Look at them what I wanted. He's a big old bob. And there you go. So yeah, she did good on that. She said she saw a gar up there swimming around. She said, it thinks they're long. I said, I know she hasn't caught a gar yet. I can't wait for her to latch on to a big old gar. I cut that couple years ago, cut that 37 and a half, 37 and a half inch gar. Okay guys, measure with him. About 36 inches here. About 36 and a quarter. Pretty good size. So you can eat gar, but I've, you know, I've never, I've never caught a gar until, you know, I move down here and then, you know, I'm not, I don't even know how to clean one. So I don't, I don't know if they're any good, but all right, just that little update. Tighten the line up a little bit. Bonnich beef. How bonnich it is, but they're liking it. It's a shrimp. I'm sure we've had in that freezer for, well, I think since our last fishing trip over to, uh, Crystal River, I think was, when I bought that beef, I bought a bunch of it because she likes shrimp. So I bought her a bunch of shrimp and I think it's been in the freezer for that long. You may have took, touched my bait, so I tightened the line up a little bit. Are you still hinting on it? Well, see, it's on it. Let's go. Let me pick this up. She takes it. We'll pop it and see if we can get a hook in his mouth. Time to check that bait. I don't feel any hint anymore. All right, let's check the bait. Now the bait's still on there. Whatever it is, it's not big enough to get the whole piece of shrimp in his mouth. Pretty good size shrimp. All right. Yep, it's also making a little noise over in there. It's coming all the way. So I'm going to see if Monkey, see if she's up here. I'm going to say she's about ready. Yeah. And all the way over there. So just in case, I'm going to say if she's ready, I'll kick you guys back on in a minute and I'll do an outro. Let's see if we can bring this in before we go. It might be on there. I just haven't set the hook. It runs with it one more time like that. We'll pop in. I think that was a gar. It's not usual to get them hooked. They usually just wrap their snouts around your string, your fishing line. It's usually what happens with them. This old guy one time was gar fishing on YouTube and all he had was some bright colored like nylon ropes. He would cast it out and he was catching gar. They would just grab on to it and swing their head around. And when they did that, they get tangled up in that rope. He was catching them like that. All right. I think she's packing up too. So all right. Not a bad day guys. So I was thinking about calling this a fail, but you know, anytime you try something, is it really a fail? You know, I mean, if you try to rebuild an engine and you got to start it up and it throws a rod immediately because you forgot to tighten it, is it really a fail? I don't think so. Maybe a learning lesson. I think a fail is if you say, boy, I'd really like to do that, but I'm not going to. And you give up before you get started. I think that's a fail, but we did catch a couple of things. So that's pretty cool. All right, guys. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Shea Bear, the Mr. Mandel Edging. I'm gone for now. Good job, Monk. We'll see you in the next one. Bye-bye guys. Take care.
