[@aquilesesquivelmadrazo2607]

I was there. We had our local Working Man Kayak Tournament. Wind was brutal. Just glad he was safe. Seen the fire department on the way out. Nice meeting you..

[@chrisbulaw7270]

Thanks so much for your help my dude, you're one of the good ones!

[@vaughansellers7563]

Glade your safe

[@benjaminjohnson3755]

Ramiro you guys show that there are good people in the world and give me confidence in mankind!

[@jackblack496]

as opposed to 80% of the bad ones (mexicans) ....Ramiro make Mexico great ....sometime soon?

[@harveychu7721]

Ramiro Lopez I

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Glad you made it out brother, water is unforgiving, be safe out there!

[@chrisbulaw7270]

Thank you man!! Learned my lesson

[@b5maddog]

So glad you survived that whole ordeal and thank God for those who helped you. You truly were blessed that day. Glad your okay. Love you bro

[@jbinamac]

Glad you're okay Chris. Things happen so fast, it's hard to really realize that until it happens to you. I hope this video is a reminder to other anglers that you can always replace a boat, pole, or tackle, but not yourself. God bless...

[@Tatman1212]

It wasn’t your time Chris.....you learned a valuable life lesson and will never make this same mistake again. You also learned that there ARE good people out there willing to help. Pay it forward my friend. Near death experiences do happen to a lot of us and it does make you look at life in a different light. The world needs you Chris...glad you are okay. Boats can be replaced....you???....not so much.😎

[@alecsernett2163]

So glad that you are ok Chris, I don't know what the KZbin fishing community would do without you.

[@clgogfishing8430]

All I can say is I feel you brother. About 8 months ago I had stopped to grab my crab trap and in doing so I saw a bunch of fish so I casted out a couple times. My last cast I got my new lure stuck on a dock about 25 feet out into the ocean at high tide. Also it was over 15 mph winds and about 60 degrees outside. I go to the dock and notice it is the definition of SKETCHY. it was missing planks and all. I got past half way out when a board wobbled, I told my self go back but I didn't. I got to the bait and turn around to walk back on a 4x4. My second step the board makes a sudden twitch,throws me off balance and plop right into the water. Broke my middle finger trying to catch myself. I panicked because I went completely under taking in water. I try to reach the dock but am about a foot away. Finally by the grace of the Lord I calmed down for a split second and saw a boulder under me and put one foot on and got up and out. Soaked and freezing cold, ruined my phone and my work phone and almost fucking died bro! Like u said, while I was panicking I thought to myself "this is those stories on the news of people drowning, this is how it happens.

[@tonydontdisco8510]

That was a very scary situation Chris, I am glad you survived. Everyone watching your channel learned a good life lesson from this video.

[@JiffyBiff]

Well done Paul ! Glad you're okay Chris, bad day...but you get more days. Be thankful.

[@thegloriousfall]

Some days just don’t go as planned. I’m glad people were there to help and everything turned out alright.

[@sinjins2520]

In conditions like that even athlete swimmers can get tired fast. Glad there were some good folks around, stay safe and keep up the good content!

[@patrickconnors8403]

Thank God, it turned out for the better and even when bad things happen; there are always good Americans out there.

[@BSHEP23]

Someone once bet me that I would not swim across a pond one day. It was a pretty big pond, so... I really did not want to accept the challenge. Then I was shown a brand new fishing rod and reel... and was told it would be mine if I did it. Well, challenge accepted. I ended up swimming across the pond. It was very, very exhausting. Thanks to that experience... I will never try something like that again. I'm sure you learned a big lesson this day! Stay safe, man. I really enjoy your videos. Always good to see other people from the area doing good, fishing related things.

[@joeybasstard8133]

damn Chris! that's insane... glad to see that youre still alive and kicking and more videos to come... be safe dude..

[@ThiccHarambeGaming]

Didn't know I was watching peric lmfao

[@sentrygaming917]

I’m sure there was many prayers for you man. Hope you stay safe.

[@willk5413]

Glad you're alright. God bless!

[@quinnmuller8233]

Love your profile pic! Steven Crowder!

[@willk5413]

Quinn Muller thanks!

[@edwardscott9200]

I too was caught by surprise. Left the boat on a short anchor rope on a dead calm day with no clouds in sight and went for a swim. Within minutes a wind storm blew in and away went the boat. A kind gentleman picked me up and we chased down my boat which by this time was about 1/4 mile away. Morel of this story, expect the unexpected. Glad you're OK!!

[@andrewadam9750]

Thankfully you're safe Chris! Keep it up and stay safe bud!

[@Benjamin-S]

I’m happy you are safe! Also glad you stayed positive. That’s how you get over these situations, and move on!

[@theoldbasser4645]

Good people are everywhere. Glad they were there when you needed them.

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

Glad your ok. It’s always nice to see that there are still people willing to jump in when it counts.

[@garyb1635]

Wow man, I'm glad you are ok.....you don't want to be the first youtube fisherman to go missing or something even worse. Just really cool those guys helped you out

[@DangleNug]

Glad you’re okay! At the end you say the ice is freezing though. Made me laugh.

[@Jack87112]

Glad you are OK You learned a very important lesson. Be safe.

[@justkeepcasting]

My uncle fell off his boat into 59 degree water back in 2007. He was in great shape and phenomenal swimmer. He ended up drowning because the water was just too cold and he couldn't make it back to his boat in time 😔 be careful in water under 60 degrees and always where a life jacket. Doesn't take long for shock and hypothermia to set in. Glad ur okay man 👍

[@SoUThCReATiOn]

Excellent video Chris!! about 2 years ago I was out fishing a lake and the winds was at least 15 to 25 I was in my boat and drifted into just a ft of water and my outboard wasnt good enough to get me back in deeper water, half that area of the lake was flats and could not canoe my way into deeper water due to the high wind and there was some guys hunting ducks in a boat and they didnt want to help me, but I was blessed to figure out a way to get back across the lake and still finished the fishing trip that day and caught fish!

[@jacksonsmith373]

those old chronarch 50 and 51 mg’s are pure gold, I love mine.

[@chrisbulaw7270]

Some of the best reels ever made

[@jacksonsmith373]

Chris Bulaw totally agree, the spools are a tiny bit small (as with all 50 size shimanos) so I tend to use mine with 10-12lb fluro or 40-50lb braid

[@snookin5617]

Jackson Smith how much 40lb braid can fit on most of the 50 shimanos? i’m thinking of getting one

[@jacksonsmith373]

Zvch. actually a pretty good bit. not an excessive amount but plenty enough for making really long casts. I keep the my backing to a minimal with the 50’s so I can squeeze a little bit more main line on

[@bedbassandbeyond6090]

Same here, I love them

[@tommycornforth5150]

Good to see your ok! Sorry about that that kind of day! We've had them all. Last summer I back my Suburban up to far at the boat ramp and lost it under water, good thing my brand new Lowe's boat was like a bobber and stayed afloat. I look back on it as an experience what not to do. I Laugh about it now, even though I thank all the men and women that helped me that day.

[@LeMeFish]

Glad you made it back safe and sound. Be careful out there and there are always nice people willing to help!!!

[@BassFishingWithTKHeaven]

Glad your safe, and the day ended on a positive note with those awesome people helping you out. The Pay It Forward talk was well said man!!!

[@drofumidragon5580]

60 degree water in Texas: Hypotherima within a few minutes. 60 degree water in Northern Michigan: Time to go swimming! :D

[@sgtlarson85]

I wish I could fish with you, even on the toughest of days and bad things happening, you're always so positive. glad you made it out of the water ok

[@ciscolive22]

So glad you are safe! Awesome lessons, thank you!

[@kerryparks1979]

Glad you made it out safe. You'll know better next time.

[@kmx2607]

Glad you're ok brother! Be safe out there man. That's why I never really go on my own with a boat. Especially on a windy day like that.

[@TodaysAngler]

Glad you are ok, will have another chance to chase muskies with us...and eat some Nature Valley Peanut Butter Biscuits together!

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Can't wait for muskie season!!

[@kenzies.313]

bruh the almond butter is way better

[@TodaysAngler]

Negative. 😉

[@cainbrothersprod]

He'll be sleeping peacefully in the bottom of Lee's boat in another couple months!

[@johnjoven1]

Be careful bud. Glad you're safe.

[@C8mon]

I hate when someone posts a video of them doing something stupid, admits how stupid they were and why it was a big mistake, and then people in the comments proceed to say how stupid they are and why it was a bg mistake. I mean come on everybody has done stupid things in their life, at least Chris admitted it and learned from the experience. Glad you're ok my man.

[@donkbassfishing6392]

Live to fish another day. Glad you're ok. Stay safe and keep making great videos.

[@kylebeckman7464]

Anyone catch him saying at the end “it’s getting warmer up north and the ice is starting to freeze.” 😂😂

[@DarkNinjaShark]

"all the ice is freezing" lol, i know what you meant but it was still funny. Also, glad you are ok and that there were people there to help. Thanks for sharing your story so others can learn from it too.

[@BBoyWassabi]

i have had my tire slashed as well while out on a fishing trip, i just dont understand who or why other anglers, or whoever does that kind of shit, good to hear you're ok chris!

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Wow. Glad your ok bro. Stay safe out there

[@trevorhawkins8757]

Glad you're safe, Chris.

[@dannykyle738]

So true. I also had a time where I had to swim far out into a lake and I barely made it back. When you run out of energy you need to try to float on your back and focus on breathing

[@joshflak8178]

Glad you're okay, you live and you learn.

[@jonathanscavs9334]

I can't believe how polluted that lake is. Makes me mad bc any lake in Texas has the potential to hold huge fish and they just trashed it literally. Glad you're ok deff was an eye opening experience for you I bet. Keep up the good work.

[@guillermocastillo3578]

Thank GOD for the rescue people around you.

[@ericvilleneuve8144]

There is always issues with the spare tire mechanism.Yes living in the north we experience it quite often. Just try oiling it up and bringing it down once in a while.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Chris Triple A, American Automobile Association, has a membership plan that has roadside assistance and allows for towing of a vehicle and trailer up to 100 miles. If I were you, with all the travel and fishing you do, I'd buy the plan, The other good thing about it is the plan follows you and not your vehicle, meaning if you're fishing with a buddy and his tow vehicle or boat trailer breaks down you can still call AAA to come out and help you. Actually, I'm a member myself and have that plan. It's saved my butt a few times. Costs a little over $100 a year. I've had it pay for itself many times. I bought a new boat package in 05 and the dealer didn't tighten the trailer lug nuts properly. I went about 20 miles and noticed in my side mirror that the tire was wobbling on the trailer. Pulled over and looked at it and found that some of the lug bolts had been sheared off and there was no way to put on the spare tire. So I called AAA and they came with a flatbed truck and put my boat, and trailer on it and hauled it home for me. Then I called them again a couple of days later and they came and took it to the dealer for free repairs. There are other roadside assistance plans out there. You don't have to join AAA in order to get this type of help. So shop around for the best deal. But DO get yourself a roadside plan for these kinds of situations. What would you have done if Paul and the others weren't there to help or if you were stuck out on a back road in Minnesota or Ontario after a muskie trip? If you fish and pull a boat sooner or later you're going to need some help.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

P.S. I forgot to mention that the AAA membership plan is called: AAA Plus RV. That's what you need to cover your boat and trailer too. Otherwise a normal membership only covers the vehicle. You can Google it.

[@campfire52]

Just glad that you are alright. I think that we have all done things that make us say to ourselves ("what was I thinking?") You learn from it and move on. Thanks for all of your great video. Stay safe.

[@centralsouthernfishing2091]

It’s terrible knowing someone had done that purposefully. Imagine them seeing you in the hospital as an update video nearly next to your death. People are absolutely absurd it drives me insane that this happened to you. I’m glad you are okay.

[@ronmast5514]

Wow ! You went through some shit. Most of it was totally avoidable. just glad you came out on the top.

[@BayJoua]

Glad you’re safe man. I do a lot of fishing by myself too and this kind of situation worries me.

[@s.ak.1459]

Chris,That's a lesson,value your life first,the only time you risk your life is to save a life. Tight lines

[@4pointsoutdoors406]

That must have been a terrible experience. Glad you made it out alright.

[@Flurgh]

I see you got the full Arlington experience. Glad you’re okay.

[@rtshort]

Wow, rough day. Glad that you are ok.

[@tbone116]

I meet a ex special forces guy who had his boat drift from the dock after he just put in. It was on lake Ontario in early April. He dove in to get it. Same deal wind was blowing cold as hell. He caught up with his boat but said he was to weak to get in his boat. He was really lucky because some other guys from Ohio saw him and helped pull him in their boat and ran him back to the ramp and put him his truck and turned the heater on. He said he was nodding off while he was hanging on to his outboard like a junkie. WARNING to all you guys from the South. If you come up here looking for big bronze backs stay in your boat! The great lakes are the real deal and have sent many a man home in a box!

[@codyblanke7005]

Thankful your okay Chris. I love your videos.

[@alexs2k75]

Glad you’re okay Chris

[@xssmontgox]

Definitely pay it forward! Glad you're alright!

[@nanettebarling1222]

Bad things seem to run in 3's! The tire, boat and prop. Glad you're ok!

[@AustinFreemanSoccer]

Wow God bless you Chris! You're a lucky one!

[@nikolasscuro3467]

I am glad you are safe chris

[@rg3tv984]

Glad that u are safe .. Keep your head high .. Your a good person .. Keep up the amazing job on fishing..

[@fishingforhawgs4069]

Wow...glad you're safe my friend..

[@ryenreif3562]

Glad you are okay!! No more dumb decisions!

[@porterellis9376]

Glad your ok that incredible so sorry that happened

[@5winder]

God bless Paul for helping you out.

[@joakimluislarsson8748]

Glad you made it ok thanks to those people, things can go 0-100 real fast.

[@fishinnoob3291]

Glad you’re ok dude!

[@johngreenwood2852]

Sure glad your ok Chris!! Keep it safe and thanks for all the great vids!

[@Cole-Toone]

Glad you’re alright man.

[@ryanmedlock5974]

I've totally done that, but it was a lot warmer water. My kids where actually on my boat as is slipped away from the dock.

[@casemcdonald1187]

glad you made it out brother

[@masondick4851]

You might need to redo your bottom end seal behind the prop and stuff Chris. Had that same thing with one of my motors. P.s. Glad you're okay!!!

[@jdizzy92403]

And all chevy spare locations are brutal. Extremely common thing for us up northers lol. If they rust that bad more times then not the spare has to get sawwed off.

[@sa1126]

Glad you're okay dude!

[@brianissaved]

God was looking over you Chris 👊I’ve been a Christian all my life and love giving to people on the streets in a supermarket also on are channel Brians big bass adventures we are small but are giveaways are giant like my heart ❤️God bless brother glad your safe 👍

[@greenninja74]

Damn Chris. I flipped my boat in February. Glad you are OK.

[@TsunamiSam]

Sorry to hear all the bad news man! At least all is good man. Be safer !

[@James-uk4xi]

Another bad idea is to flip a canoe in april in maine. My life vest was too small for me so it was unzipped which makes it a bit of a hindrance to swim with, and my fishing line got wrapped all around me. I spent all my energy trying to flip the canoe back over and had pretty much given up from being tired and freezing when someone came out of nowhere and pulled me into their boat. I hadn't seen another boat on the water all day. The guy at the store I stopped at on the way home gave me a pretty funny look when I put the six pack on the counter and had to peel my $10 bill apart from the rest of my money while I dripped all over his floor. He said "little cold to be out swimming isn't it?" and I was like "yeah, probably should give it a month or two before I try that again"

[@cameron9191]

I've had experience with having my tire slashed, I know how you possibly could've felt in that moment lol. Bet that was a brutal swim, glad you're safe man! Keep up the good vids.

[@theschmerbs435]

Bro that super sucks..one good thing is that fishing and boating people (good ones)help each other..#good people are still around..glad your safe sir..

[@samkelly2478]

Glad your ok bro

[@billbussler3332]

Glad you're ok Chris...that cold water is bad stuff.

[@BBob33524]

My dad did something similar only it was 90 degrees. Clothes weigh you down quick no matter how good you are at swimming. Glad your ok

[@jdizzy92403]

You were composed enough to make the rest of the video. I would of been too pissed. Especially with my boat floating away lol

[@colefahey9032]

I'm glad you're okay. How did you tie up your boat?

[@MrSoCoolJay]

My Boy!!! stay safe don’t drown

[@Exite21]

Your tire does not look like it was slashed...........Thank god you are okay and that boat was there, hope this taught you a lot. Especially to learn better knots when you tie your boat up haha

[@joshuagooden4212]

I'm glad you're okay bro sounds like one hell of an episode

[@harley04black]

I’m glad you’re OK

[@thumb2theeye]

Buoy Boy, just let those words sink in. Someone had to say it and I don't have all day to see if anyone else did...take knowledge from this misfortune and turn it into wisdom, also thanks for telling people to Pay It Forward, it works.

[@jmksquared11]

Glad you're alright bro

[@John-wt6nf]

Damn !!! Rough day for you. Glad your okay and safe.Yes please pay forward good deeds. Be safe.

[@marinoutdoors]

Thats one crazy ass day bro, stay safe and sorry for your bad luck that day!

[@lostaccount2674]

I hate wind on the water. I am happy you are ok
