Let me watch this stuff now. Tsk tsk tsk...cops always ruin everything. On a side note, you never cease to amaze me when it comes to the fish's weights. As a Physicist and Angler, I am perplexed to see how accurate you are when it comes to that. Good stuff, my friend.
The place they were fishing was protected for a reason. There's no point in having a protected area if you do not have someone to protect it. I don't know what the conservation authority is like for you guys, but i can tell you they're not there to "ruin everything".
You were very respectful and handled that well. I thought they seemed dickish instead of educational. It was obvious you were trying to comply. Keep up being a role model to these kids.
+Craig Krage the youngest looking ranger who was walking around with mike was actually cool, but the rest of them were dicks. i wish i got this part on video, but there's a part where mike has given back just about ALL the money (75/80 refunds) and he tells the ranger "i'm gonna go take a leak real quick" and the ranger goes "leave your bag here. i don't trust you just yet." this is utterly ridiculous. 1rod1reelfishing, one of the most recognized fishing youtubers on the internet is going to run away with 50 bucks after he already gave back almost 750 bucks. did this ranger think he was going to run away? so stupid. but it was great seeing all of the kids get to meet him. he really is their role model.
You're attitude is amazing. Way to be polite and respectful to the game warden while still explaining your reasons, and then still keeping your amazing upbeat attitude.
You did a great job of handling the unexpected issue! Nice work in adapting and keeping people enthused. And you led someone to catch their first bass! Congrats!
Well, it seems the older man knew what was better and made sure the warden knew how they mess up, because when they mess up they make common folks mess up and sure it aint fair. Also, having the camera puts pressure in them to not mess up in their behalf. I believe they didnt even know the rules in total detail and just went with the "just in case".
that really sucks!! For some reason I have a gut feeling a HATER made the phone call. Here is a man who is trying to get kids and people interested in fishing , he finds a way to make it fun for them and some jack ass has to ruin it. Kudos to you Mike for taking the High road because I feel you could have argued your case.
+Jj Rayguns haha I have a feeling you're right :P And trust me I argued for quite a while when the camera was off, if I went any further I prob would've been arrested :P
I think it's awesome how you got all those kids to come out and fish. Fishing is a great past time for the youngsters of this generation. Good job man!
+Jack Min obviously you had a bad experience ive lived here my entire life and most of the roads are new, road layouts are decent and laws are good looks like you had a really bad experience
Actually California has the most laws and regulations. But I can't blame the state when there's more foreigners in Cali then the whole United States you kinda need to be strict.
+RockHound19 Ive lived here msot of my life , I can tell you the the state of NJ is the worst state. Everything from pollution, to the most Superfund sites despite being of the smallest states , its overcrowded and you're taxed out of the ass. NJ is the only state that charges you taxes if you sell your house and leave, its called exit taxes. This place is disgusting and i dont plan on living here forver
Yea man its rough right now. Still hoping El Nino will show up. All those lakes are good, bu the closest to me is puddingstone reservoir, which is difficult regardless or the circumstances.
I laughed so much at this, the whole scenario was hilarious. Love the way your not worried about what people think and post goof ups and stuff on here, not just slamming bass. Your a funny dude
I don't think he wanted to make a huge scene about filming the guy and everything... With what's going on nowadays it's safe to just not film the authorities because it's leads to a lot worse than how it started
+hklwdr yeah I know I'm allowed to film, I thought I'd have a greater chance to get them to allow me run the tourney if I was cooperative :P my boy andrew had his camera running the whole time though xD
+Justin fulmer true ^^ I know I was allowed to record, but I was just trying to cooperate to increase the chance that they'd let me continue running the tourney
You're a good dude, man. This video proves it. You've stoked my urge to go fishing again this year. This weekend, I'm headed down to Columbia to see if I can't get some biggins from Wilde Lake! Keep it up!!
All those people fishing, makes me so happy with all the crap that's going on in the world. Everyone grooving on fishing. Looks like fun. Nice hit...THANKS
I can't wait for the next NJ or MA tourney! I live in both states and just started fishing this year, I'd love to try my hand at a fun tournament like this! Also I love the channel man!! Keep it up!
Brother, that must be a surreal experience, to meet long time fans!? Its a testament to your attitude and personality! Way to go, man! I admire the no Bovine Stool approach you have. Your Momma did something right in your case! Keep it up brother, you seem to be a role model! More than 1 new fisherman because of you, in 1 video. Nicely done SIR!
Just have to love everyone with the sorry attitudes towards cops. Trust me, you will all end up a bunch of losers. You think it makes you cool to be anti-cop, but it puts you on the same level as most of the people associated with the "Black Lives Matters" movement. All lives matter, even the cop haters. Someday they will need a cop, but will reap what they have sown. The guy hosting the tournament is the cool dude, he is making a difference, and he showed the most respect. Count me in as a subscriber.
hey man luv ur videos, cant believe i havent stumbled apon u sooner, i live in philly as well, although i do mainly fish for channels cat but now im staring to get into bass fishing and i def see ur vids helping me out wit that, and by the way i luv ur positive attitude, i feel that goes a long way in fishing
Hey Mike... I've been watching your videos for about 1 year now and have learned a lot. I love your work and you are a true inspiration! Fishing got me through a hard time and your work especially! You should Come to Allegheny County sometime! Thanks!
you should try fishing on lake memphremagog in Newport VT and if you do you can stay at the Jay Village Inn in jay about 20 minutes away. On the lake you can catch Large/Small mouth bass northern pike, al types of trout, perch, crappie, and a bunch of other fish and you can also fish in the rivers
love the fishing man I started fresh water fishing 2 years ago and I've had a blast love your vids and hope fully I'll make it to one of your tournaments some day.
really sad they had to rain on your parade !! but just very happy to see you promoting fishing and look at all the young kids you are touching with your channel and first time fisherman it's a great thing you are doing keep it up !
Yep....that warm welcome by the police man pretty much sums up the challenges of Jersey waters. A for effort though! If you're ever in south jersey hit me up! We'll do a "collaboration". Lol
Love the videos. You sir got me back into fishing and I cannot say thank you enough. I had a quick question about what to use for bass in the winter. I'm new to bass fishing and live in Houston. Thanks for any advice.
Mike you have to have a tournament here in Pennsylvania it would be very nice, the good things about the lakes I fish are no litte ones bight so if you catch one it's usually nice! great video!
+Stefan Campbell thx bro! Almost all tournaments are held for boat fisherman, which screws us bank anglers. I thought holding tournaments like these would give everyone a chance to compete in some friendly competition :D
I fish at falls lake nc, if you ever come to North Carolina you should check out falls lake. It is a pretty big lake but it has a lot of branches off of the main lake. I would love for you to come to nc sometime next year.
I came I watched I subscribed.. this guy is very energetic and people like you sir make the sport alot more fun.. you have to come south to kentucky buddy and fish big fish down here my friend
+Mercury Simple thanks for subbing, I appreciate the support! I hope to fish in Kentucky sometime in the future, maybe I'll host a tournament down there :D
hey Michael I just wanted to say keep up the good work with the videos you and FTMW got me really into fishing. I also wanted to know if at some time you could hold a tournament in Colorado and it be a trout fishing tournament for all us anglers who fly fish as well and if that doesn't work trout of lures works as well
that was a cool video see a lot kids and adults all together having fun keep doing those type event or tournament is good for the community and keeping everyone fishing very important 👍👍👍 hey next time but careful with the law 😎 what a day
surprised to hear you caught 6 lb bass in this area of jersey im from central its all overfished dead spots with a few decent 3 lbers in between and the undisclosed locations are also doomed soon (or no tresspassing). where do you think the next tournament will be? i'd love to get in on this
You should have a tournament in Newfoundland NJ there is a pond right behind my house and it's about a quarter Mille long so it's good for a smaller taurdament
I think I threw everything I had in my tackle box and didn't get one fish tough ass day but good time. Keep it up, I'd love to see a tourney in the philly area in the future
that guys first bass was around the same size as my first bass around 6-7months ago. whats funny i post it on a local site and then one the other guys on site posted a even smaller first bass catch. no joke i fish a serious pressure lake(lagoon, off main lake castaic, california) and all ive caught bass on it are smaller then senkos the roboworms. but still bass love the plastic worms. mainly do the lagoon because no stripers there yet somehow. tight lines
