Dude who taught u how to fish? If your pops new to it.. I assumed your pops knew how to fish.. its odd to see a son know more of fishing than the father so curious how you learn? Have you made a vid of what got u into fishing.

Just so upsetting feeling like you guys are just taking our money and not giving a good product:(

[@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_D]

lol their whole brand is created to milk the clueless ass teenager that doesn't know shit, and only buys what their fav youtuber tells em to. They're literally feeding on those who don't know any better, and you think they're pulling them out of the market? Don't be naive lol. They sell you $20 rods from Aliexpress under their branding, and charge $100-150 instead. This is called finding a niche, and exploit it to oblivion. I also find it funny how you don't have money, but want to support a millionaire. Get your priorities straight.

[@shannon811]

We had our Googan rod snap after one trip too, but not that version. I've used Walmart rods for years and finally wanted to upgrade to something good quality. What a joke.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I think Power Rod (his new name) banged his shin pretty well on the log and the yellow area is mostly bruising, but it still would pay to run a course of anti-biotics as the Potomac's a dirty river. A good way to track it is to use a sharpie and outline the red area, then compare it 12-24 hours later. If the red spreads outside the line it's getting worse. If it reduces, it's getting better. I hope he has time to relax and recover in New Orleans.

[@JerseyFishing20]

1Rod/ Mike where are you bro? Everything ok? You haven’t posted a video in a while I hope all is well!

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

That's crazy bro, I just let the doctor getting antibiotics from fishing in the gunpowder river. It's the blue green algae, which y'all walked thru plenty of in this video. I got an infection on my foot. Make sure u shower immediately after being in a river this time of year, if the bacteria gets in a cut and isnt cleaned you'll get an infection.

[@riverpirate1022]

Yup most all the waterways in MD around DC are polluted to a high degree, especially the Potomac, same for the waters in and around NoVa. It's an issue in any urban area around large bodies of water, way too many people and to many of them are nasty polluters. I won't even go in any of those waters anymore, you might as well swim in raw sewage, anywhere in DC itself is exponentially worse. I live on a watershed creek that feeds into the Occoquan River that feeds into the Potomac River below DC and the amount of disgusting trash that flows down is insane. I go west and southwest into rural VA to find cleanish safe water, but you still have to pay attention to random events and fish kills like what happened on the S. Fork Shenandoah awhile back.

[@danaparks8812]

I was looking for your email address in the description, but I can't find it anywhere. I wanted to ask you what's going on? I haven't seen any new videos in at least a month from you. Want to know if everything is alright with you, or if you are just taking a break? Are we going to see future videos or not? Just wondering. Don't even know if you'll see this or not, but if you do, please explain it to us if you can, and maybe you are in the process of putting something out soon already, I don't know just inquiring. Hope everything's okay bro, God bless

[@brucecohen8970]

It's no joke what infection your dad has. It could be very serious. You should always wear waders and even knee pads in questionable waters no matter how hot outside it is. The bacteria thrives in warm water. Wet wading in shorts and sneakers is very risky. You never know when you might get a cut or scrape that will invite bacteria into your bloodstream. Your father even swallowed some of that dirty water when he stepped into some deeper water.

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]
