BUSTED!

You guys got me.

Last Friday I was so preoccupied with launching the hit music video “Fishing In Our Soul” (see it here) that I completely forgot about the notorious “Freshwater Friday” fishing video.

And a couple of you called me out on it this weekend.

So here is a Happy Humpday Freshwater Wednesday video for you.

It’s a pretty intriguing video because it has a young kid catching a sunfish with a 3D printed fishing rod, and many people are saying that 3D printing could be the future for fishing rods, artificial lures, and even reels.

What do you think? Is this the future of fishing gear?

All I know is they better learn how to make larger rods if they plan on getting me to use one…

Welcome to another Freshwater Friday!

Before we get into today’s amazing video, here is a brief look at the Top 3 most shared Freshwater Friday videos over the past couple of months:

“Largemouth Bass Eats Alligator Caught on Film!” (watch it here)
“The Fishing Video That Will Have You Dying to go Skarping” (watch it here)
“What Happens When You Grab Bug Spray Instead of Starter Fluid” (watch it here)

Now back to the main attraction for the day.

In this video below, Craig Johring is out enjoying a nice day in his canoe on the Platte River near South Bend, Nebraska when he has a wild surprise.

As he enters a small area in the river, the carp start to go nuts, they start jumping everywhere, and before you know it, he has caught 9 carp in less than a minute!

All without a fishing rod!

Not a bad day on the water my friend!

Enjoy.

I bet you can’t watch this video of a guy getting completely creamed by a boat engine rooster tail just one time!

I am still laughing.

Here is what I know:

This guy is NUTS!
Judgement begins to spiral downwards while drinking beer in a speedo
The guy next to him turns into an ostrich at the 15-second mark
This man loves his beer! Notice that he never drops the beer even after he gets plowed
That must have stung like a ton of hornets
He is lucky he didn’t lose some vision in his eyes as he had no glasses on or anything
He might have lost his left nipple
Kids, do not try this at home

Note: According to our viewer Zach, the boat operator is Trevor Jennings from RIP King Guide Service. He is based out of Walla Walla, Washington.

Enjoy this awesome video.

A few of you reached out to me this morning wondering where the “Freshwater Friday” video was today… Busted.

Apparently the “Baseball-Fishing” video from this morning (watch it here) didn’t constitute freshwater, even though I am pretty sure I can see the lake in the background…

Either way, I thank you for calling me out because in my search of the best freshwater video this morning, I came across this unknown gem of a video where a largemouth bass eats a baby alligator… and they somehow captured the scene on video!

They even managed to get the bass scarfing down a nice size frog also.

But first, if you missed the last couple of the ever-popular Freshwater Friday videos, here they are so you don’t have to go searching for them:

“What Happens When You Grab Bug Spray Instead of Starter Fluid” (watch it here)
“Wait Until You See This Dude Go Hair Fishing” (watch it here)
“The Fishing Video That Will Have You Dying To Go Skarping” (watch it here)

Now I hope you enjoy this unbelievable Freshwater Friday video of a largemouth bass eating an alligator.

The notes say that this was done by National Geographic.

Welcome to another infamous edition of FFF – “Freshwater Fishing Friday“!

If you missed the last two amazing Freshwater Fishing Friday videos, here they are:

“What Happens When You Grab Bug Spray Instead Of Starter Fluid” (watch that video here)
“Wait Until You See This Dude Go Hair Fishing” (watch that video here)

Now back to the Viral Video at hand…

If you don’t know what “Skarping” is, it is a combination of water skiing, while catching flying carp, while playing basketball.

It was “invented” by the Peoria Carp Hunters, and this “Skarping video” that they created is one of the most amazing flying carp videos I have ever seen.

If you aren’t familiar with these jumping Asian Carp, they can be found in a few special places in Illinois, and these Asian Carp jump out of the water because of vibration and water turbulence.

P.S. – Make sure to watch this entire video as they don’t just go “Skarping” on water skiis and wakeboards. They get in tubes, and even use a trident to spear the flying carp at one point.

P.P.S. – Big thanks to Meagan Johnson Robinson and Doctor Brian Headrick for sending this skarping video in.

P.P.P.S. – If you think your friends would like this wild video, please share it with them – I’d really appreciate it

Back by popular demand, it’s Freshwater Friday!!!

If you missed last week’s Freshwater Friday Viral Fishing Video, it was “What Happens When You Grab Bug Spray Instead of Starter Fluid”. Check it out here next.

This week we have another freshwater fishing gem… apparently this is how they do their hazing at Liberty University, the largest Christian university in the world.

Here are the ingredients for successful “Hair Fishing”:

Long Hair
Small Hook
Earthworm
College buddies cheering you on while you put your nose to the water and wait for a fish to bite your hair

Enjoy.

Happy Freshwater Friday!

We have had numerous requests from our freshwater brethren to post some viral freshwater fishing videos including bass, bass boats, and bloopers.

So we went out and found some freshwater videos that fit the description, and this video below is our first ever Freshwater Friday video.

Here is the scoop:

These guys are known as the Mississippi Snake Grabbers (they even have their own show on CMT), and they go out in Mississippi rivers, lakes, and ponds and catch snakes with their hands. And FYI, you can hire them yourselves if you have an itch to grab snakes with your bare hands…

Apparently while out snake hunting, they encountered some engine problems, so they had their buddy Shane go back to see if he could fix it.

I won’t ruin it for you, let’s just say this video has an explosive ending that had me laughing for quite some time.

Famous Last Words, “It’s like Redneck Ether…”

Even if this is a rigged video, the Rooster at the end is priceless. Still laughing as I write this.

P.S. – If you think your friends would find this video as funny as I did, please share it with them – I’d really appreciate it
