Fishing Lures and 27 Anchors from the Fox River!

[@jamesmagmer8929]

You are the only other person that I've seen that collects as much as I do! Please continue your pursuit of cleaning up our rivers! Love these longer vids! Thank you!

[@jamesmagmer8929]

I made that comment to soon,..... you get a s... load more than i..

[@EdtheDiver]

You do this too?! Awesome! Thanks for watching. You keep doing it too! We should team up someday.

[@jamesmagmer8929]

I live in Oregon and have been a river keeper tor about eight years now. I use my kayak with multiple tools to recover lures and line along with the other items lost on the rivers. I could fill a 55 gallon drum with fishing line and have atleast 40 lbs in lead. I've collected over a thousand bobbers and thousands of lures.

[@EdtheDiver]

@@jamesmagmer8929 awesome man! Keep it up. Keep those waters clean!

[@Oshkosh_Man]

Ed, you are an inspiration. This is an amazing hobby that both gets you diving and do something positive for the environment. I’m gonna have to take lessons now. this is too cool.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks 👍 I hope you follow through and really love it like I do!

[@rangerreno1249]

Ed you are awesome. What a collection of amazing stuff. It’s so interesting to watch and see HOW MUCH you pull up and the variety.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the haul! I guarantee I could go back there again this year and get the same amount of items! 🤣👍

[@fishingpedro1374]

Hello, I'm French 👋🇨🇵 I admire your depollution work, in France we have a lot of waste plastic pollution, my dream is to find so many fishing lures. You just gained a subscriber. Peter 👍

[@EdtheDiver]

Hey Peter! Thanks for watching from France. It was always my dream too, and now I’m doing it! 🤿👍

[@jasoncowan-zo4pc]

Wow that’s a big clean up Good job !

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@jasoncowan-zo4pc]

@ 2 years later lol better late then never , first time seeing your content. Well done sir.

[@bradwelch7425]

good one Ed, well done. I mainly go for the lead weights and scrap that, good coin for lead at the moment. I have moved 2 ton of lead from one spot as well as lures and rings and things. That fishing line does hold an enormous amount of stuff and it continues to add everyday. Cheers Ed

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks Brad! I try my best to grab EVERYTHING that doesn’t belong down there.

[@Takman74]

Ed, what a crazy video. I can’t believe all the stuff you’re finding.

[@EdtheDiver]

Lots more to be found!!

[@kittyokat13]

And I thought the magnet fishing videos were cool. Dude!!! You got that beat!!

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks 👍 😁

[@tomballard4794]

Second time watching and it's like ,WOW . Just amazing.

[@EdtheDiver]

Well thanks for watching it TWICE! 😃👍 I’ll be back out there again in about 2 months, if the visibility is decent.

[@brittneyvest9048]

I know what to do when I am in need of some lurers. Love your videos, keep it up.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks, will do!

[@intheservstreets7394]

That’s pretty cool Ed…glad to meet you Saturday at the RV show.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks! Nice meeting you too. 😁👍

[@Henry_Brooks]

I used to work for an aquatic weed removal company in MN and WI and we found all sorts of stuff down there on the daily. Fun stuff! Love the channel.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks!

[@jamievincent7397]

Insane vvideo. thanks for sharing.

[@EdtheDiver]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MaisyGilbert]

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks, I hope you have a great time doing it!

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

Holy smokes dude that's impressive. And a good deed done. I subbed. Thanks from a ny fisherman

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks for watching and subbing!

[@Ryan-wk7us]

Cool to find this channel and you be in my back yard you seem like a cool dude.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks! Glad you are watching! 😃👍

[@jeremys302]

Coot is a great guy been a while since I've seen him AND Holy Crap Man that is alot of anchors!! Keep up the hard work and great videos.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks man! He is great!

[@johnpowderly8774]

Thank you!

[@EdtheDiver]

Welcome!

[@inannashu689]

Iam amazed at all of that in a small area.

[@25johnlaw]

A really cool feature would be a map drop pin a couple times thru the videos. Carry on son. Great job all around.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks for the suggestion! MANY people reach out to me when they see that I find their property and I’m able to get it back to them.

[@matyscote9578]

this look insane , i sometime do the same in my river , im from montreal and really love your vids

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks for watching and cleaning up!

[@toddschlenz8756]

Wow Astonishing!!

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks!

[@davidjones1480]

I just met Ed today. Very nice guy. He was cleaning up lake Nokomis, which I also clean up periodically

[@EdtheDiver]

Nice to meet ya today! Thanks for the positive comment! 😁👍

[@PansyAnderson]

my grandpa's lake anchor was a old coffee can filled w/ concrete. we used it til the 80's, so 67-80's. no snags.

[@EdtheDiver]

I find these! 🤣

[@jondoe2690]

I know that area. I am a diver as well and I would have never thought the viz would be that good.

[@EdtheDiver]

Pretty rare actually! 🤣👍

[@jondoe2690]

@@EdtheDiver I'm a divemaster here it Green Bay and we taught the GBFD dive team. there in pool sessions were done with blacked out masks to mimic the fox river. everything was done by touch.

[@EdtheDiver]

@@jondoe2690 great exercise! Ya definitely can’t be scared! Especially in the current.

[@fryeguy9939]

That is an awesome kayak for the money.. I had a blue one

[@EdtheDiver]

Sweet! Sure is.

[@dootxdoot1943]

whats the most common lure you see snagged? I'm seeing a LOT of lipless crankbaits

[@EdtheDiver]

Jigs and lipless crankbaits for sure! Lol

[@dustinyanke7769]

New follower here from southern wisconsin. When can I expect to see some new videos? I think i literally just watched 2 hours of your videos lol. This video was awesome. Thanks for your hard work keeping the earth a cleaner place. 3/4/23

[@EdtheDiver]

I try to get at least 1 video out a week on KZbin, but I’m on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook also. All “Ed The Diver”. Thanks for watching!!

[@FishingwithNat]

Incredible stuff. Very fun to watch but man I hate diving with visibility like that!

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks! Yeah…ain’t very ideal, but it is fun collecting all the line, lures, trash and treasures!

[@FishingwithNat]

@@EdtheDiver Absolutely. I admire what you do. There are some spots along the Wisconsin River here that are rocky like Voyageur Park and popular with walleye fishermen. I've snagged into lines and old lures many times. I'm sure it's loaded with all kinds of tackle too. No zebra mussels there, at least for now.

[@EdtheDiver]

Someday…I hope to make it that way!

[@abebroham6417]

Awesome man. Love it! Do u have a store? Online perhaps? I could use an anchor for my kayak.

[@EdtheDiver]

edthediver.com It’s lacking right now though. Been too busy to manage it. 🫤

[@authormikemontie250]

Another great video Ed. Have you ever tried using a small inflatable? It could hold more and is less likely to tip over. Thanks for what you do, and for sharing it 😉

[@EdtheDiver]

This kayak is a BEAST! I’d be afraid of popping an inflatable.

[@lcln22]

Here from tik tok man super entertaining loved the video

[@EdtheDiver]

Awesome!! Thanks for watching the full version!

[@leorezende8884]

nice video Brazil here

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks! 😃

[@Exposurelol]

I would love to do this but we don’t have enough money right now. Now I’m a fisher man my self and would love to find all those lures and that would be my dream to have that many love u man ❤️

[@EdtheDiver]

If you get into it, be careful and know your limits. It’s addicting! 🤣

[@jakeyxjakey1]

a Detroit river episode would be interesting. who knows what you would find down there haha

[@EdtheDiver]

Many mysteries in there! 🤣

[@amandasalgado6876]

I fish the fox channel between Little lake butte des morts and winnebago. Any chance you could do a dive here? We lose fishing stuff all the time in front of the fishing dock. Always joked about doing something like this. Didn't know ppl did until I saw an article in the paper about you! Great work!

[@EdtheDiver]

Someday, I’d like to get in that area when the visibility is better (Spring time). Thanks for watching!

[@edgarcovarrubias6833]

How are you Ed I live in this area and was wondering if you needed an extra set of eyes or hands.

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks for the offer! You can go there anytime you want, but I am always on a tight schedule and just go whenever. I have diving buddies come with me at times, but most of the stuff I do doesn’t really need an extra person. With low viz diving, you can’t see your diving buddy, and if you can….they’re kicking ya! 🤣

[@arttufishing]

So many lures, i would be hooked the whole time probaply

[@EdtheDiver]

Just gotta dive wise! Lol

[@dude6969ist]

Do you sell the lures that you find ??

[@EdtheDiver]

I do. They are off my website right now for local sales only. They’ll be back on edthediver.com in May.

[@jjb1974]

Hope I run into you this upcoming summer Ed. Its cool what your doing. Would be fun to talk to you. :)

[@EdtheDiver]

It’s a small world! 👍 Hope to see ya out there someday!

[@wondercharlie-thesupercat3763]

do you sell those anchors to anyone or refurbish them? Hang out at boat launch might pick up a few bucks

[@EdtheDiver]

I moved a few months ago and threw out about 90 of them…. I sell some here and there. 👍

[@ToniSepulveda]

What's the most expensive lure you've found?

[@EdtheDiver]

I’m really not sure.

[@carlballoy7015]

Were do u sell ur stuff

[@EdtheDiver]

Locally and some stuff at edthediver.com

[@JamesBrey-i8y]

Down by the Crows Nest along the shore line there’s hundreds of worm cups caught up in the bushes 😱

[@EdtheDiver]

😢

[@stevenfetterman916]

Only thing i'd like to see added to all of your videos is at the end i'd like to see the cleaned up lures / anchors along with your guesstimate as to how much $ you made. I know you've done it on some of the videos, but i'd really like to see it more often..... otherwise, great videos! Often wondered, do you repaint the lures that need it or just trash them?

[@EdtheDiver]

I used to do that, but I’ve been SO busy with everything, that I don’t have the time. I need help!! I just started painting the bad lures. Keep an eye out for the videos. 😁

[@realsteppajimmy4078]

Just to be clear we are talking about the fox valley river in Illinois I thought it was not swimable because the fast flowing water

[@EdtheDiver]

I was in De Pere, WI part of the Fox River.

[@EbonyRedding-nd5cy]

❤❤❤❤🎉😊

[@donutdynasty]

Do you end up selling the stuff you find or do you just give it away?😊

[@EdtheDiver]

Both!

Thanks!

[@WildLife_Perspective]

So much stuff! Great vid. What computer do you use to get gopro footage edited

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks! I use InShot on my iPad.

[@WildLife_Perspective]

@@EdtheDiver cool Do u just download the footage to it and then edit, upload? Also do you ever run out of storage? I'm trying to use my phone and I'm wondering if I download the footage to it, edit, upload and once uploaded I delete video in my storage will I run out of space.

[@EdtheDiver]

@@WildLife_Perspective I started by using my phone, but then all the memory gets taken, so I pay for extra iCloud storage and use my iPad now. I delete old footage AFTER I finish editing all the footage and saving the video. I post the video and then delete it from my iPad. Make sure to delete all of your “Deleted” files too! Lol

[@WildLife_Perspective]

@@EdtheDiver if you delete the footage after uploading will you ever run out of space hypothetically

[@EdtheDiver]

@@WildLife_Perspective YES! With all the other videos and pictures you never make videos with!

[@EdtheDiver]

Thanks for watching! I don’t ship out of the US, and I sell lures. I keep the big ones for myself. 😁👍

[@JJgaming338]

Think I could have some crankbaits😅

[@joycoleman9928]

I guess grubs on a jighead and rattle baits are rather popular fishing lures there. Geez! I'm shocked by the amount of anchors. The local stores who sell them must be making a mint.

[@EdtheDiver]

They are VERY popular! Those anchors are my retirement plan….🤣JK

You need to try in Sturgeon Bay

I’ll be back there again someday!

[@foxking5286]

Where is Wisconsin night? I will not swim in the fox river. They dump so much chemicals in the river.

[@EdtheDiver]

Lots of history in the Fox and many other rivers. Never know what’s in them! 😬

I find that low vis dives are better done at night. Strange but true

[@EdtheDiver]

I’ve done a few at night. They are fun! 👍

You should start selling the lures that are in decent condition just do like mystery packs of 10 for $20 +shipping or something would be a good way of getting some people cheap lures recycling and saving people having to pollute the world with more lost lures

Hallo @edthediver habe dich vor einigen Monaten hier entdeckt, toll was du hier machst und leider auch nötig, weil immer noch zu viele Menschen ihr Zeugs in den Gewässern verlieren oder gar entsorgen. Habe dir eine email geschrieben, da ich an Infoaustausch und Lernen von deinen Erfahrungen/Wissen/Können interessiert bin.
