BOWFISHING IN A TOXIC SEWER!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

The tilapia came in at 19.5 inches, just two inches below the state record. Almost! Happy holidays, everyone.

Dang

[@ITigerbaum]

That was a pig!

[@joeyholley9209]

Great catch.

[@paulroberts4310]

This is one of my all time favorite channels. Happy Holidays.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it

[@AlanSloan88]

Burt Reynolds would be proud.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Ha, I hope so

[@Flahmas]

Merry Christmas!! Loved the new bow method of catching Gar bait. I could definitely see the bow videos becoming a regular just like the net videos if you enjoy it enough.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Definitely will do more if it does well. These videos take a few weeks to take off, usually, so I'll be watching.

[@terristroh3965]

It’s been a fun and crazy year watching your videos. I hope your back keeps getting better. Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@jeffreyhansen6781]

Haha, fellow houstonian here. Absolutely love your videos from Surfside. How I grew up fishing. But the Deliverance plug made me laugh!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Great movie

[@jeffreyhansen6781]

@@wildlifefishingshow squeal like pig. Lmao

[@theestablishmenta7903]

I imagine that in areas in which the ground is higher than the water level you first check for a way to climb out in case you fall in.. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays !!!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, this was my fourth or fifth time filming here. I spent the first half of my first trip scouting all the escape routes

[@rgarlinyc]

That WAS an amazing Tilapia! Also, glad you didn't fall into the murk!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks! Me too!

[@joshwagner8468]

Awesome video Payton. Love your channel. Always so amusing. Merry Christmas

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Appreciate it 🙏

[@Loganz0]

Awesome Christmas vid. I gotta get into bow fishing whenever I get a kayak and go frogging. Looks so fun.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's very different, took a while to get used to it

[@paulmaul2186]

Thanks for all the great content. Fascinating.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 👍

[@paulmaul2186]

BTW you should put a stick or something down into that place you caught the bass so that animals can get out. Just sayin' @@wildlifefishingshow

[@cheza7061]

Merry Christmas & happy new year to you & your lovely wife.😎🎣🐟

[@wildlifefishingshow]

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Damn that is a monker of a tilapia! Great video, really enjoy the content at that spot!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Makes me wonder if there's even bigger ones in there

[@davidturner6682]

Merry Christmas to u and your family and all your subscribers

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, you too

[@jaaadanschannel5094]

I’d love to go tiliapia fishing there that one was huge nice video

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[@PonyFoot123]

Hey man, how do you dispatch the fish “instantly” i prefer to not let my bait suffer before use. Thanks

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Knife clean through the spine behind the skull

[@maxcullen3427]

Just found channel have to say so far interesting fish & techniques used so impressive

[@kayceeyou]

I got a pack of Slam Shady over the summer. Great for Pike. Use it with 1/8 jig head.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Always wanted to go pike fishing

[@cherylgaston7229]

It's been a great year of awesome videos. One of my favorites is still that HUGE alligator gar. Have a Happy New Year!

[@j4ckfisha]

Where did you pick this bow and reel up?

[@dannywayne311]

You promised a banger and did not exaggerate at all 💥 🔥

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks!

[@johnnydoe4637]

Bro if your ever in upstate NY I'd love to take you out. Ty for the lil tips I picked up from you and lmao omg my back as well. Getting old sux

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Lol, yes it does

[@ASkiingHippo]

Merry Christmas!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, you too

[@AspiringSpaceWizard]

You eat them ? What does sew tilapia taste like ?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

No, I use them for bait

[@kierra_mist]

They are delicious if cooked properly

[@CountryWolf_TX]

Awesome! Merry Christmas!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, you too!

[@nightcrocgreen1918]

Great vid! I just hope you know once you fall into those basins getting out would be extremely difficult. If not impossible. All ladders have been removed. Maybe climb a tank gate and shimmy up the greasy stem?Let someone know if you go fish in spots like this otherwise you might eventually be fish food.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I found exits to each spot before doing this for that exact reason (my wife also knows where I'm going when I'm filming)

[@tadhghayden8440]

Have a good Christ- mas n great new yr...

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, you too

[@patshes1951]

Cool hunting.

[@raymcentire5400]

Happy hollidays my fellow Texan. I ordered my free pack of bait. Maybe you will be shaving your head, lol.

[@jonahgarcia1557]

Still lovin the videos ✊🏼 merry xmas brother

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Appreciate it! Merry Christmas

[@jeffashbaker1114]

How do you claim the free bag of luers

[@ce152capt100]

Be careful out there man!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

For sure

[@moblack5883]

Would you fish at the Chernobyl site ? That last view reminded me of it. Those Slam Shadies do work.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

If I was allowed to, I'd be silly not to film that And yeah, I'm a fan of them for sure

[@jorgen.zamora]

here in Guanajuato, MX, where I live, there's tilapia everywhere. Huge ones too. Yes, they are very subtle. sometimes they are near surface and they can see bait in front of them and totally ignore it. The way I beat them in that mode is with tenkara style.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

What's tenkara style look like?

[@jorgen.zamora]

@@wildlifefishingshow hello! I'm glad you replied! I love your videos, specially the ones combining abandoned places and fishing! Tenkara is the japanese version of fly fishing. but I use weightless bait. Gulp alive, live worms, corn, even tortilla dough. you should try that on your videos. some tenkara rods can take good sized carp! I will look for you on IG and send you pictures. do you have instagram? :)

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@jorgen.zamora yeah @reallywildlife

F'n Turok here. Lol. Get em bro!

[@bopitbull3957]

They abandoned it and left sewage in those ponds or they washed them out and just abandoned them and it's just water can't imagine anything living in sewage water. Regulations wouldn't be allowed to leave sewage water in there?

[@jamiemercer5221]

did he say the carp was not alive i missed something ?

[@coloradocoinhunter6475]

Love the video bro thanks 👍🏻🤘🏻 get that back better man

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thank you, it's getting a little better each day

[@coloradocoinhunter6475]

@@wildlifefishingshow Good bro I'll keep praying for you??

[@BVN-TEXAS]

Beautiful? I guess beauty is in the eye of the fish holder.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

All beauty standards are entirely subjective 🤷‍♂️

[@trevorpickens8105]

You should go back with cut bait and see if there’s any big catfish

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I've tried that a few times, unfortunately didn't catch anything

[@manoeljorgepescador1157]

Sensacional pescaria top demais laik merecido Deus abençoe saudações ❤

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, I appreciate the support!

[@djkompressor]

I got mine already!

[@damnft8218]

Got to learn parkour so you can somersault from edge to edge 😂 as you’re shooting the bow

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Parkour, PARKOUR!

[@williamsailer7586]

I tried and it asked for my card number

[@ratdaddy7774]

Would not trust eating it but just do what Nick of 618 fishing does use um for bait, nice work

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Bait is the plan, that's how I catch all my big fish

[@theswordoftheevening9865]

I imagine that big Tilapia was a big boy being a Cichlid. I thought it was a 20 ;( I'm a non-Mammal eater but bowfishing for Invasives like those, Grass carp or Pleco despite being alive were introduced by us so we need to rectify it. I will eat fresh Tilapia as nuts and beans cause my brain to want more. I'm not eating Insects yet.... crickets and grasshoppers are utilized now and a lot in the distant past.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I have a feeling bugs are going to become the protein of the future much sooner than most people would like, lol

[@thomascarr3047]

You can go even cheaper. Pick up a used bow and you can get a real and arrow all for under 100 and be a good starting point

[@357Addict]

I found myself holding my breath when you had the bow drawn. Just waiting for the release...

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It started to get really heavy after a while, started shaking like John Voight

[@kirstyshiels6155]

Merry Christmas 🎄, happy holidays, don’t shave your lovely hair 😊

[@beardedguardian71]

You should your head anyway. All the cool kids are doing it. Lol

[@FishingWithAhrenAndMary]

I hate to hear that you're still in pain. Have you gone to see a doctor about it? I hope you get to feeling better and get some relief really soon.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's getting much better, thankfully

[@thedroopywanderer7016]

i can smell the whole video from here

[@williamsailer7586]

Do you have to be of age to by

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I'm not sure, what age to buy what? What are we talking about?

[@theswordoftheevening9865]

You too bud.... I've been here forever but always forget your name...

[@loading876]

I always thought bow fishing was a bit cruel

[@wutwutwut8687]

uh oh. he spilled the beans. people who eat tilapia are eating cichlids.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

I'd eat em. That tilapia is 😋

[@benjaminjohnson3755]

Man, if you are recovering from a back injury, I do not think going fishing for alligator gar in a few days is a good idea. Those back injuries, sometimes you will feel better but it hasn't completely healed up yet and you can make it even worse. One strong run from a big fish, and it could throw your back out and seriously hurt you.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

For sure, I'm keeping an eye on it and haven't made plans for big fish yet

[@kellyrager3456]

Please pick me I need some of these lures Thank you

[@MrGsxr10001]

Wow man, you frurting with diraster walking around a place like the by your self. You fall in you dead.....

[@romanch2]

This fish 100% dead. It’s not alive:)

[@ask6394]

💩🏹

[@RachelSwanson-np4se]

Bow fishing is so cruel. How could you.

[@kierra_mist]

😂😂

[@BG-lb1fb]

The fish isn’t that beautiful after you put an arrow through him so you could catch others for a video. How about just leave them alone and no killing for your own fun

[@Flahmas]

He's catching them for gar bait, he said that. He catches the same species in a cast nest just to use for bait.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I bet you think all the other fish on KZbin videos you watch are caught with bait that fell from heaven, lol

[@troyt3552]

Do you really need to use 5 min to explain yourself for using fish as bait from a waste water plant to make the trolls happy?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I do it because I want to, so yes
