stung by stingray while wadefishing - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

Lots of marine technicians in the comment haha. Thanks but I reckon I already fixed it. There was some water in the fuel and needed a new fuel line.

RIP Steve Irwin

Gotta do the stingray shuffle never step🙅

Yet another installment of quality production. One of my favorite RU-vid channels. Top 3. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

Hey coop I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and they always cheer me up.

OCARINA OF TIME! Good job Coop 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hey Thresher... Good to see you man. Was just recommending you to someone earlier today. Woah, close call. Thank God for the boots man.

Close call! Glad you had those boots.

Hey man! THANKS for sharing vital info!! All these years I’ve just been wearing old tenners ( converse canvas tennis shoes) Never thought about stepping on a stingray. Now I know. Cool. Thanks again.

thank you for the vid coop. glad you were safe and happy fishing :). happy 2021 too

13:53 I’m like please don’t stab your dog. Lol

Best fishing channel in the YT lands and hope you get a million subs in 2021! ✌🏻🇨🇦 ps freakin lucky you didn’t get poked

The great thing about the rover is if you’re engine breakdown you can just paddle it back. The boots were definitely worth it!!

Glad you didn't get stung. I hooked a southern stingrays last summer. It was huge,about 5 feet around. Landed it about 20 minutes later and had about a 4 inch stinger. Could have done some serious damage. Glad you didn't get stung. I'm going to check out those boots though. Thanks!

I was stung in the heel while wading a few years back and I can tell you, it is by far the worst pain I've even felt and I was out of fishing commission for about four months.

Great tip. Them neoprene boots are exactly what I have too. Definitely going to make that change!

Bro!! At 8:07 my heart stopped 😳 those boots are the real deal! I’m so glad you’re alright! Be safe out there bro and keep on fishing! The motor will be back up and running soon.

Hey Coop, just wondering what you think about wearing ray guard boots with ray guard shield protectors. I always use both. I’ve been struck once by a stingray using the boots and I was quite lucky I had them. The gash was about an inch long. Anyways your thought on the shields?

Broooo the song man!! Loved the legend of Zelda ocarina of time song!!!

Gotta love the Saturday uploads 😎

The good job smacks! 🤣 I'm so glad you are okay 🙌🙏

Tank not venting, causing a vacuum in the fuel line after a while.

1:40 ANY Runescape player will know RIGHT AWAY the song

Watch out for the doggo almost poked him with the knife 😱

Glad your ok my dad got hit by one!! Went through this neoprene wading boot through this ankle just missed his Achilles’ tendon. This was on north Padre island during a beach fishing tournament. Ended up going to hospital on main land and was back about 3:30 was back fishing at 6am. Now has a badass tattoo of stingrays mural on his calf for memory!!

I used desert boots heavily lugged on the bottom and canvas tops for wading mud flats with oyster bars. I appreciated the protection of feet getting sliced crossing oyster bars and will look into these armor boots. I've walked through saw grass in shorts when a shark ran me off of the flats, I'd do the same facing way too many sting rays. Leaving was the smart thing to do when fishing alone.

Nice vid again brotha! I think I might go fishing today.. 🎣

You mentioned two types of rays local...though the one you forgot to mention was the one I see the most in the area. That is the cownose ray. Glad you lucked out. I have heard it hurts a lot to get hit...but seems quite a bit exaggerated at the same time. Don’t want to find out though. May check out the boots 😂😂😂

Let’s not all pretend we wade out there and don’t get lax thinking that they won’t come near us and start just taking small steps. I’ve done it and this video makes me think

Geez man, would've been bad if it actually penetrated through! Stay safe mann

Everybody's. Shuffling shuffling !

Got hit dehookimg a plagic bat ray up in the Tasman when I was long lineing for bluefin tuna ,messed me up but I finished the trip off ,still alive today ,,😀😗thanks for sharing dude ,keep well

Glad you made it out safe buddy. That was a close call. I totally got to check out these boots. Thanks for sharing your experience Coop!

Next time it stalls out try this.put the gas tank above the motor . If it runs again after raising the tank, it might have a bad fuel pump. 1. Make sure tank vent is open. 2.look for air leaks in the fuel line from the gas tank all the way to the fuel pump. Clear fuel line helps out alot to look for bubbles. 3. Shorten that dang fuel line. Manufactures specifically state that you should not use long fuel lines. It puts a serious strain on fuel pumps . Diaphragm fiel pumps will struggle even worse. 4.Check to see if the thermostat is opening and see if the water pump is actually pumping. (An overheating engine will bog down) 5. Make sure your float bowl isn't sticking if its not EFI

I always love your videos cuz I relate to you but I’ve never felt it more than when you put that fish on a stringer and then instantly forgot it was there lmfao 😹

Hope you get the little boat running brother . I know you can fix it like you did before. Be safe Brother.

I don't know what's worse. Clear water so you can see them all or the merky water we have here in Galveston where you can't see down 6 inches, so you'll never see them coming. This video plus all the comments will keep me up at night. 😩

You gotta be cautious ma man! Tight line's never stop!!

big fish, nice to watch the video, good luck broo

I gig sometimes. It is amazing how many rays there are when you are in the shallows at night with penetrating light. It has changed my fearless wader attitude. And shuffling 200 yards sucks. In addition, if you go fish the pass or other high traffic areas where you meet other anglers, you'll meet people who have ray scars they'll show you and caution you about. I=uck rays. Im buying those boots before the spring. They school like reds. If you see one, there are several on the flats you are on. Ive seen another Thresher vid where you get on top of a bunch and have to leave. Yuk.

my dad was stung through the kneecap by a stingray while wade fishing. said it was the worse pain he ever went through

Awesome videos! What bait caster do you use for saltwater fishing?

Textbook definition of foreshadowing. Hope your doing alright!

Thanks for sharing... I've spent about 4 decades fishing and 1 thing "I" swear to is shuffling your feet (and Stingray boots).! Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya 🎣 P.s. try an in-line water separator filter. Just my .02¢

Cooper fishing and hooks up... “Oh my god that’s a fish!”

Great video. Love you content

Nice video man 👍

Threasher Great job, Enjoy your Videos keep Moving Forward,All good,Thanks. Also Thank Utube.

If it's a four stroke motor valves need ajusted motor gets worm things get tight . when she cools down she runs Wright hit be back??

I had a double barb stingray hit me right in my Achilles. I was down for two weeks and it was summer so the doctors were worried about Vibrio since I have lost my father to the bacteria. It took his life at 45 years young. The only thing that would kill the pain was water as hot as I could stand it. Dude and I swear I was fishing a area just like you were where I saw hundreds every day. I fished there 16 trips in a row catching limits every time. Well the 17th trip I took a bunch of my friends and I didn’t make 30 yards from the boat right at day light and I got hit. I pull my foot out of the water and he was still stuck in me. I put my foot back down in the water and he pulled out finally. Thank God he didn’t leave a barb in me. Man once you get hit you will never forget it.

Dude I love your channel and content! Keep doing you and slay them!!! Also do you have Instagram?

Got lucky!! Good luck on the engine. Ever try Seafoam or Lucas gas conditioner? Maybe the filter....sounded good when it started...again , good luck

I had a similar problem with my Tohatsu motor, left me stranded offshore. Get towed by my buddy to the ramp, and at the washdown it's starts right up, and purrs like a kitten. I changed, the plug and fuel filter, and next time it goes like crazy until after a couple hours of running it dies again like before. tank lines, air vent, primer pump all fine. I next change the fuel pump diaphragm. Repeat of previous trip - gets me offshore but it dies after a couple hours. Last resort I replaced the ignition coil. Last two trips it has run like a champ. For me it was the coil. YMMV. Tohatsu has a 5 year warranty so I suggest you take advantage of it, and let the dealer play with it.

What desk do you have brother?

Fuel filter?Whens that poor motor had it's last tuneup?Could also be a voltage issue and that's why it's dying after running a bit

I caught a 38 in drum with cooked shrimp my pb!!!!

Good job boots 💪👍

I ended up surrounded by stingrays when I was surf fishing around St Pete’s last year. I avoided the stingers but ended up with a million sand-flea bites. I figure that must be why there were so many rays.

It's the ethanol in the your fuel. I had the same problem. Water causes the ethanol to separate from the fuel. During this time of the year temperatures will drop below the dew point and form fog. Your tank will collect this moisture and cause separation. I had to have my fuel system completely flushed. There are plenty of videos about ethanol separation. I hope this helps.

There ya go! Money paid off.

Thanks for the content

That looks so fun to fight those red, i would be scared of the rays tho, glad that ray didnt pierce through your boot🔥💪🎣 also what rod are you using?

The dislikes are for people scared of stingrays

Dude we're is this spot at what bay? Btw I like watching your vids bud keeps me motivated for the next time I go out.

Good info now a video to get the motor going again haha

What pole are you using?

did ya try starting the motor after fishing for a while? may have gotten lucky...good job boots

What is the make and model of your miniboat

Check the vent on the gas tank. If it’s not working a vacuum will build up and it will die.

COOP!... easy on the jewels man! That would be worse than the stingray.😳

That video was keeping it real👌

I believe those 15hp tohatsu motors are the same thing as the 15 horsepower Mercury motors. I would buy yourself the manual and the parts book. Could be a loose kill switch Did it start to sputter before it died? I've seen the quick connection get worn out and suck up air in the fuel line Also like another comment said your gas tank should be able to vent while you're running If there's water in your gas tank your motor will usually make popping sounds before it dies

Coop are the boots comfy?? Easy to wade in??

what company and model are the boots

I love the OSRS runescape music in the background

Wow, it's like you're one of the only people that knows how to string a fish. Everyone goes through the gills. I make custom stringers and clip through the lips

I got stung last year on my right index the pain was shooting up my neck. A week later a infection set in 3 set of intibiotic clear it but my finger looked like a puffer fish.

You should use a longer fish stringer if keeping fish while wading. As a fellow wade fisherman sharks will take your fish and if they do the farther away from you the stringer is the better plus a knot that is easy to pull undone and let go

Do you stream on twitch?

I enjoyed a sting last July!! 🤣 By far the worst pain I have ever experienced.

Maybe u have a floating something in the gas tank that gets sucked into the gas line and clogs it then after its off the thing release and it starts?

I've steeped on at least two while drunken flounder gigging and I've luckily avoided the sting!

What up man. I haven't seen a vid in a while!!

I've been stung by a stingray they hurt but it happens

A stingray sting can be made to stop hurting almost instantly by application of water to the wound as hot as you can stand it. It is a truly a amazing feeling when that terrible pain goes away like magic. (You still need to go to the doctor to get your shots, get the barb taken out if necessary, etc.)

What’s your hat and GoPro set up?

I got hit right above my arch on the inside of my foot. I was lucky it pulled the barb out. A lot of blood and pain beyond explanation. It was a good 30min ride back to the dock and another 40 mins before I got to the hospital. I kept thinking "the pain cant get any worse" and then it would hit a new level. Those boots are definitely worth the investment.

I got popped 3 summers ago just below my calf. Incredibly painful! Worse part was I had about a 200 yard walk to the boat then an 8 mile run back to the ramp. Long day!!

But with the Foreverlast boots you wear Foreverlast leg wraps called Ray Guards! They are thicker and more protective than just the boot alone. Either boot can use the Ray Guard leg wraps for more safety as some rays are big and can stab you up to the knee!

If you’re fishing for specklers try something called a vudu mullet I’ve had so much luck with them down here in Florida

Hi! I'm from Puerto Rico. Could you please tell me what kind of boat is that. Lok like a kayak. Thanks.

What about a push poll or a standup paddle for backup!

Hey man you should get some ray repellant for next time you are in the same area or anywhere in general

Damn Cooper. Glad your safe. Say what's up SURREAL75. Ahhhhhhh nice video brother

At least they worked today buddy. Even though the tip of a knife gets through with ease probably keeps a stingray barb from getting through to stick you.

Stung ? Ouch This one situation where you drag your feet literally, Brother.

If it’s getting hot replace impeller. Then look to fuel system if still having issues.

Love the Zelda music

What up my boi !!

13 yr old son got stung on the Achilles’ tendon behind his right foot. We were about 10 miles down PINS. He hurt for about 2 hrs but then we applied heat hand warmers which he said felt so much better. Don’t put ice or cold water. Will make the pain worse for a longer period of time.
