I’m not a midwesterner but these videos are relatable as someone from the middle of rural Sweden

[@Emielio1]

Same thing for someone from the rural part of the Netherlands :P

[@friendlyneighbourhoodginger.]

Hello fellow sweed! I totally agree with you, fishing is not super popular but for those who are interested it’s a cult.

[@lukeh8891]

Yeah the Midwest, especially Wisconsin and Minnesota, is basically America’s version of Scandinavia

[@LocestSwarmSC831]

In the Midwest theirs huge populations of Scandinavians as well. Honestly our climates are pretty similar.

[@BooglePoots]

I went to Michigan for church camp as a teenager, and when we went tubing I think the adults driving the boats might've been harboring just a _liiiiittle_ bit of suppressed anger considering the way they seemed to purposefully be steering us directly into the wakes of each other's boats

[@jakegarrett8109]

Nah that's a good driver, that's the best! It's way more fun that way, also if you have 2 pulled with the same length rope they can crash into each other harmlessly, BUT if you have two different lengths the person at the rear can try to saw the guy in half up front and they can play jumping over the rope while holding on for dear life. I live for the excitement, not to be going safe speeds! Adventurous driver of boats are what I want, if its not full gas its not fast enough!

[@ajb.822]

@@jakegarrett8109 But for the inexperienced passenger, I can definitely empathize ! I've only gotten to go tubing behind a boat once in my life, one tube, no other motor boats around really, and I was about 11. It was one of the few times I've really had a very fun time in my life, and it would NOT have been fun for me if I'd been doing the things you described. I wouldn't have been ready for that.

[@jakegarrett8109]

@@ajb.822 Haha, I was a bit of an adrenaline junky. Still am, ramping the speed bumps in front of the guards like its moto-X and doing wheelies off them on a military base, haha! I admit though it is a good idea to go a bit slower so you can figure out what you're doing when you start. Indeed some of the tubing is the best times I've ever had (my profile picture is me driving one of my dad's boats, I don't even like boats, but I love tubing!). Only got to go tubing maybe a dozen times in my life, I'd love to do it some more though, great time!

[@olliefoxx7165]

[@elizabethhoover4672]

"Yeah, well, you shoulda cleaned your room! Your mom's not here to hear you cry!" 😂 The first time my family went tubing we thought my sister was screaming her head off in joy. They were not screams of joy. Tubin' is something else.

[@robopiplup5193]

My first time was the exact opposite. Told them to not go easy on me and they sent me absolutely flying. They thought I was screaming in terror but it was actually the best thing ever and I immediately asked to go again.

Wrong. vacation dad has a 2 week holiday. He's so lazy he doesnt put the boat in until about day 6, and then only uses it 3 times. He spends the rest of the days drinking about 8 cups of coffee a day on the enclosed porch of the cabin.

How the fishing guide’s musky grew like 2 feet in the course of a few sentences 🤣 absolutely love this channel and it was filmed 20 minutes from my house. Keeper movin!!

[@janeomalley3129]

That Muskie story reminds me of when we were fishing the middle channel for Walleye out on the St Claire, and I hooked one that took a half hour to get up to the boat. Thought I’d hooked a sturgeon, but could tell it was a Wally when it’s pale eye the size of a dinner plate came up to the port side of the boat. Then the boat rocked and I heard a thump, looked over the starboard side, and there was the Walleye’s other eye!

[@talesoftheinlandseas5063]

😂😂 Hilarious! The St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair are just wonderful right? I live on the shore of Lake St. Clair and my Grandma lives right on the river, so i've been out there a couple times.

[@janeomalley3129]

@@talesoftheinlandseas5063 , my dad’s family had a cabin on the river not too far from the Harson’s island ferry crossing. We rented Minnich’s boats many a time, and many a time we were frantically pulling the cord, trying to get it started so we could get out of the way of a freighter! Dad bought a boat just in time for the mud puppies and zebra mussels to ruin the wally fishing and we haven’t been back since our cousin sold his cabin cruiser that we would go fish the lake on, been almost 10 years now. Beautiful area though and I miss it!

[@alsmith7382]

You're going to need a bigger boat......

[@talesoftheinlandseas5063]

@@janeomalley3129 Yeah it really is a special place over there. Whenever we go to Algonac I get the same feeling as going up north, that feeling of comfort and serenity that you cant ever get down in the city. If there were some good jobs in that area and it wasnt so out of the way id consider moving to harsens! Its just such a beautiful peaceful area.

I grew up with a cabin “Up North” in MN. I recognize all these folks! Especially Dad. Although my Dad made sure his boat engine couldn’t pull a skier that was much older than about 12 yrs old. That way he didn’t have unruly teens interfering with his fishing and gear. All this was way before the big pull behind floats. Miss you Dad.

the duality of men who wear crocs is insane, either they are a seasoned outdoorsy pro, or an absolute noobie.

If I know the area to not be littered with hooks and glass, I go barefoot as often as possible. Crocs dont have enough protection against punctures in unknown areas of footing.

Jus shut up, the fact that u made this comment is disturbing and gay alone, when did it become acceptable for real men to wear crocs? U do realize they weren’t meant for guys to wear them, and crocs are the opposite of outdoorsy, get ya some boots or real shoes instead of gay boy crocs, ur comment is honestly sickening

Too funny man we’re laughing our asses off in Ohio!!! You literally showed me the entire population of my town!
