I am looking to upgrade to a pedal drive kayak 🛶 but my problem is that my feet 🦶 are very very extremely wide & my feet 🦶 will not stay on the pedals because of how extremely wide they're & plus two I have to kayak 🛶 barefooted 👣 because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are . Good video buddy thanks you for sharing this video buddy .
Hey buddy how are you ? That's so awesome man how you are doing so well man . I have diabetes too same as you . I do have a question ? Before your surgery did you have wide feet 🦶 & what size are you ? I just talk to I guy that had the same surgery & he said that his feet 🦶 size had changed & the width of his feet 🦶 had changed too . He saw how extremely wide my feet 🦶 was & how evenly straight across my toes was & how both of my lil toes was hanging off the footbed of my flip flops 🩴 & said to me Excuse me sir but you have got some extremely wide feet 🦶 . I said yes I do . He said I never seen toes that Evenly straight across like that before ! How wide is your feet 🦶 ? I said 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. He said WOW where do you get your shoes from ? I said ( WHAT ) shoes ! I laughed & said I can't wear shoes , socks , or boots because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are . My feet 🦶 out grow them . I know that my weight is one problem for me of why I am having very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across .
That is awesome man to hear that your surgery want well man . God bless you & God is good . I am happy for you that you lost some weight before you went in for your surgery . That is awesome to hear man . I am thinking about doing surgery too myself . It's very very extremely difficult for me to wear flip flops 🩴 in 30° Degrees Temperatures outside for 1/2 hours now because my toes starts to hurt me really bad . But if I'm not hanging around out side I can wear my flip flops 🩴in 30° Degrees Temperatures with no problem . I do it everyday in the winter time because I can't wear shoes or socks at all . This is one reason why I am trying to lose some weight is because of my Extremely wide feet 🦶 i have . My wife , 6 boys don't want me to have Narrow feet 🦶 but they Understand that I am having problems with my feet 🦶 because of how big i am . All of my 6 boys & grandchild never seen me with shoes , socks , or boots on my feet 🦶 before . They only seen me wearing flip-flops 🩴or being barefooted 👣 which 95% of the time i am barefooted 👣 because it a lot easier for me to get things done & plus two I have to drive barefooted 👣 because my feet 🦶 are was to extremely wide for my pedals in the vehicle . Thanks you so much for sharing this video buddy . God bless you man .
Thank you for watching my videos. Because of YOU, I grouped all of my bariatric videos in a playlist that is easy to access, on my main channel page. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you good luck in your journey.
Hello there thanks you so much for sharing this big Important information Brian . I know what you're going through buddy cuz i am Exactly right there with you on this one . I a big dude myself at 6'3 385Ibs sz15 6E wide feet 🦶 that's 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe . I was 400Ibs at one point but lost a lil bit of weight & i have been at 385Ibs My adult life . I had to do something about my weight because I am a long distance Truck 🚛 driver & DOT told me that if i got to 400Ibs that i was going to have my Truck 🚛 License taken away from me until I lose some weight . I don't mind being a chubby fat dude cuz my wife like my size & i have 6 boys & 2 grandchild & they like me being a chubby fat dude & they don't want me to be skinny but i do have some problems being a chubby fat dude . My biggest problem in my life from being fat is i have big & very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide feet ) with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe . My wife love my feet 🦶 . She has a big very very Extremely bad foot fetish over my chubby fat wide toes . She loves how very very fat & chubby my toes are , love how evenly straight across my toes are , love how i have to cut my toenails Evenly straight across because my toenails base is evenly straight across & that why I have to cut them like that & plus two my big toe is 2" inches wide so . I was born with very very extremely wide feet 🦶 & my foot outgrow shoes , socks , & boots when I was 18 years old & i had to Graduate from school barefooted 👣 because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 was & back in those days wide footwear was not big like it is now . I had to live my life barefooted 👣 for over a year & 1/2 because i couldn't find any footwear that would fit me . I lose my job that i had at the time because I couldn't work barefooted 👣. I was able to find a pair of flip flops 🩴that barely fit me & that has been the only footwear that I can wear even to this day my flip-flops 🩴barely & i mean barely fit on my feet 🦶 because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps . I was raised up wearing flip flops 🩴 or being barefooted 👣 & playing around the neighborhood barefooted 👣 or wearing flip-flops 🩴all my life because of how very very extremely wide my feet 🦶 are . And it's all because of me being so fat . All of my 6 boys have very wide feet 🦶 , my 7 year old Granddaughter & my 1 year old Grandson both have very wide feet 🦶 all because of me having very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 because of how fat i am . I have to drive my car 🚗 , pickup 🛻 , my Truck 🚛 barefooted 👣 because my foot is so extremely wide that my feet 🦶 touch both gas and brakes pedal at the same time . I have to look down at the pedal to see where to put my foot at so that I don't have a rear end collection because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are . Again my wife love seeing me driving barefooted 👣 because she said that my chubby fat wide feet 🦶 & toes look so cute on the pedals with my toes being Evenly straight across . I have to wear flip flops 🩴 in 20° / 30° Degrees Temperatures outside because I can't fit my foot into close toes footwear because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are . My Doctor told me that if i lose some weight that that the width of my foot would go down so that what i have been trying to do but it is very very extremely hard to do especially being a Truck 🚛 driver & can't eat Healthy food on the road because Truck 🚛 stop don't have healthy food a lot so i am right there with you buddy . You are not the only one man . I thought I shared my story a lil bit with you man . I know what you feel man cuz i a right there . I just found your channel man & i am going to follow this Journey . Thank you so much for sharing this video buddy . God bless you on this Weight loss & i am praying 🙏 for you buddy . P.S. I was just curious do you have wide feet 🦶 & what size are you . I am trying to find out is it just me that having wide feet 🦶 problem cuz I have 2 older brother & 1 older sister & they don't have very wide feet 🦶 at all . I am the only one in our family .
I appreciate that you have taken time out of your life and watched my bariatric videos. I tried to show what I went through during every step along the way on my bariatric journey. It was really hard to completely open up to the public like that but if it helps somebody, then it was worth it. It is a difficult road, but it can give you your life back. I struggled with my weight a majority of my adult life. At my heaviest I weighed 397lbs. Since surgery, I initially dropped 130lbs but since I hit my lowest weight, I gained nearly 20 back. It isn't a failure of the surgery. It is the result of poor diet choices and a lack of exercise. I can't say if this route is for you (Only you and your doctor can decide that) but it definitely was for me. As far as foot size...My overall size didn't change, only the thickness of my feet did. Shoes that were tight, became loose. Sort of like my shirts and pants. I went from 4XL - 5XL to 2XL - 3 XL in shirts and from 56 in pants to 44s. I hope this helps and good luck on your journey.
I guess now I need to go buy some waders So I can go trout fishin’ with you.. Beautiful water.. some nice catches.. You may have worn that Pflueger out already.. 😂
My favorite rods and reels get a heavy workout during the summer months. That particular reel does a good job overall but the issue with the bail flipping shut during heavy casting is one that will keep me from buying another. No waders here... at least not yet. I do wear my worn out Korker wading boots over worn out sneakers. I have the interchangeable soles with carbide studs...which are worn out as well. LOL I seem to notice a reoccurring theme. LOL
@@BigBRebooted bri, can u link video of u and I fishing at Petersburg dam, my daughters cant find it, I'd like to share it with them, since ur famous 🙂
I fish the north branch and west branch susquehanna Juniata is a good little fishery but, its smaller of course and doesn't hold the large amount of Big ones . Its still enjoyable though
I've caught some great numbers of smallmouth but as far as size, you really have to know where they are likely to be. There are some giants swimming around but they're way harder to find. Thanks for watching!
@tedsosnowski2809 I've been out as much as I can on my days off. I literally have a dozen videos to edit. I have a ton of content to get out. Thanks for watching!
Just making shorts from recent videos I have shot over the last month...that I haven't had a chance to edit yet. I was below the spillway. Thanks for watching!
Have I told you lately how envious I am of you? I wish I lived around water like that. Also, I don’t know how you manage to go out with one rod and reel and fish the whole day. Lol if I only took one with me, I would be backto the truck in 10 minutes on the way home. Lol great day fishing even with the rain.
I always have at least 2 rods when I go out. Generally, I'll only fish with one of them. I'm blessed with a bunch of different fishing options. The kayak just opened up a bunch more.
That's the crazy thing about smallies. They can be literally anywhere in the river. You did better than me with that musky...space and time would've ceased to exist until i boated that fish.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my videos. I'm not sure what you mean by burning spots. Nearly all the places I name are heavily pressured, public waters. Newton Hamilton, Mapleton, Raystown Lake spillway etc. These places get hit pretty hard whether I name them or not. There are many places I don't name, or I will generally say the name of the stream/river only. Again, thank you for taking the time to comment and watch my videos.
@@BigBRebooted You're only adding pressure by advertising the locations, which impacts all of the people that already fish there. If someone organically finds a location, good for them. You'd be surprised how far people are willing to travel to catch "River Monsters" when you provide them with the location. Extra pressure doesn't help anyone, yourself included.
When was this trip? Do a video on safe flows for the river using the USGS water gauges on the Juniata. I just got a pedal Kayak, made two trips at the point. Good place to figure out how to handle kayak in moving water. Your videos getting me pumped up to learn to fish this river. Still need to learn to back pedal better. I can do it for a little bit but then I get turned sideways. I usually just turn around and head back up stream and start over.
This trip was a few weeks ago. Thank you for your suggestion. Back pedaling takes a little practice but once you get it, it becomes second nature. I was going to invest in an anchor trolly system but decided against it because I can back pedal and stay stationary in most conditions. I absolutely love fishing from my Old Town PDL 120 kayak. It has been a game changer. Thanks for watching!
@@BigBRebooted you know a place I thought of, and you might want to scout it out, either for float trip, or little bit of wading..down in Saxton, behind the old nuclear power plant, I banked fished there lots of times, always caught nice bass
@@brianwalter7387 I've been told about several spots down in that area. I will have to try to get down there and check it out. Thanks for letting me know!
We got a late start and ended as the sun was setting. The last 45 minutes of the trip was paddling/peddling only, no fishing. We didn't want to get stuck on the river at night. It was a long, long day. There was a tournament going on as well, so there were people in boats, everywhere. In the coming week, I am going to do that trip again (possibly by myself) because there were some great spots that we couldn't stop to fish.
You would’ve never gotten that one in a 10’ kayak.. you’d still be headed down stream right had it not been for the stability of the 12’ Wanna Go Fishin’ edition kayak.. 😂nice catch brother!! I’m looking forward to seeing some of that action!!
We have had a lot of rain in the last week (tropical storm Debbie) so the water is up nearly 2 feet and running pretty quick. The big bass were on fire...and in traditional fashion, I forgot my batteries for my cameras so I pulled out my old (broken screen) Hero 8 (the only camera I had batteries for) and rigged up a Hero 9 using a battery bank and shot as much video as I possibly could. I have three more videos to edit before I get to this one. This time of year is my absolute favorite time to go after smallmouth.
I fished that stretch 35-40 years ago. Never caught anything big, but always had the feeling that some big ones were there. We wade fished. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Thanks! The whole idea around this video was to show that every outing isn't a homerun. More often than not, I have more of these days than knockout days... which is okay. A bad day of fishing is still better than being at work! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful water…nice to find random lures.. I use to walk the rivers and creeks in Chuck Taylor Converse..😂 Heat, storms, and humidity are killing me here.. and spending every penny I get on a vehicle 😂.. A wise man once said, life popping up..
What bait were you using? What bait do you find works best during the summer months? I never fished the Juniata. Great video. Sorry about that one at the end. Happens to everyone.
That sucks. But I am glad to know that things like that don't only happen to me. Sometimes taking myself fishing is like taking a little kid fishing - stuck in trees, knots breaking, tangles. All part of the experience, I guess. Just laugh it off.
Oh, I was frustrated but not because of losing the fish. It was because I was in such a hurry to tie on before the storms hit that had I slowed down just a wee little bit, everything would have been fine. LOL Believe me, I know it kind of looks like I take myself seriously but, in all truth... I don't. LOL Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Bri, ill tell u were to try..drive 22 east, make right at Martins in mcveytown, drive across the rive, and probably 2 miles..look for old little league baseball field on right side..turn left drive down little old dirt road, then park by railroad tracks..wade fishing at its best..i caught 5 lb, 22 inch smallie there..hole is deep, i waded up to my chest
You had a great outing with some quality smallies! I have been using the hellgrammite as well with success on the Neshaminy creek in Bucks county Pa. Tight lines!
Thanks! It was a fun morning. I actually went out again later that afternoon with a friend of mine. That's the video I released before this one "Catching Bass in the Rain". Thanks for watching!
I was out again today before a bunch of storms rolled through... I have a short video I'm about to post as soon as I come up with a thumbnail for it. It is pure FRUSTRATION. lol Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
This is my kinda fishin’ right here.. takes me back.. I’ve got some vacation coming up at the end of August.. if I can get my new ride right, I may have to head your direction.. great video man.. rain or not, fishin’ is fishin’..
