[@michaelpelletier7117]

That's some good fishin'! That first throw was money.

[@WadeHarrison]

Seen a lot of carps out there so just had to hook a few

[@gordmccoll5009]

Pausing the video to comment great safety set up. 👍

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks always have ropes and be ready to act fast even when just chilling on the rocks.

[@DownstreamV]

Love it! Nice hanging in there Jer!

[@JerKayaks]

Thanks brother! I was so confused where I was, I thought I was done haha 😂

[@WadeHarrison]

Jer working it in that eddy line his stern went up on the rock when he started to roll, I was like oh dam hopes he pushes off and he did and powered through!

[@WadeHarrison]

Trust me you're not the first that happened to and will not be the last Jer yeah way to push through

[@Lost_Cove_Lloyd7]

[@riverviking5125]

Great rescue work!

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks buddy

[@TheOfficialDOP]

I see you’re getting some good use out of that level six dry top

[@WadeHarrison]

it's been really good the fact it's still kind of warmish here in the southeast this things ben perfect

[@michaelwilliams3521]

I thought you did kayaking vids, not swimming competitions 😂Way to go with all that rope work!

[@joshmcnicholl9842]

Basically a BDSM video

[@WadeHarrison]

That how it started out 😂

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah a lot of rope play in this I should put a warning label on the title

[@annkerce5520]

Thanks for posting!

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks for watching Ann

[@gibby6996]

Great rope work

[@WadeHarrison]

Tallulah releases in a few weeks time to start warming those ropes up again

[@pop4725]

What creates the Rooster Tail , the big plume of water ? Is it a rock , ledge , cross current ?

[@WadeHarrison]

A rooster tail of water is created by a rock that starts out flat and has a up tilt edge at the end of it think like a ski jump but not as vert

[@JakeYaks]

Any chance you or somebody you know are going to be tallulah this Saturday? A buddy and I are looking for a guide for our PFD’s. We don’t just wanna show up and basically force somebody to show us down ya know

[@WadeHarrison]

No not that I know of buddy!

[@JakeYaks]

@@WadeHarrison alright no problem. Just felt like you were the guy to ask! Thank you for the quick responses you’re the man! Is there a place I should look if I need one like a Facebook group? how stupid would it be to just show up and try to find somebody?

[@kentdixon7702]

I enjoyed that great video.

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks buddy

[@Mr-t-GWS]

Good one 👍

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks ✌️

[@FeWolf]

Changing your name to " Green Machine" nice dry top ;-), Wade, if you had Scorch, you would have made it ,LOL

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah, was decked in all green there with the rewind

[@smuir6104]

Happy thanksgiving This was fun.

[@WadeHarrison]

Hey happy thanksgiving to you S Muir

[@jordangoodman77]

Oh man this is good

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah was a interesting day

[@glub__blub]

I’m sure that boil makes rolling difficult but part of me is thinking what are all these people doing at tallulah if you know they’ll swim and the other part of me is saying well shit I have a good roll I guess I just need to buck up and get out there

[@WadeHarrison]

Its not a easy spot

[@coldwateronly]

[@WadeHarrison]

🤔😉

[@coldwateronly]

@@WadeHarrison looked like a blast! That's a club float yeah?

[@mikehunt4686]

Lotsa saves bud, looked more like a fishing video🤔😂

[@WadeHarrison]

Hahah yeah a lot of carps out there huh?

[@FeWolf]

you need to borrow that Green Fluid Detox for review, just saying.

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah for sure do you know that guy?

[@FeWolf]

@@WadeHarrison No, but all he could say is "No".

[@IraFowler3]

Oceana was hungry that year

[@WadeHarrison]

You bet it was

[@tmacoutdooring1837]

Well done Wade, who saves everybody’s ass when your not there??

[@WadeHarrison]

Hahha Good question?

[@josh8058]

Good times and bad lines!

[@WadeHarrison]

that was the name of the title then was like there was some good lines in there not all bad

[@imdtown]

Be really careful because that drop is almost exactly like a low head dam. The hydraulic is very powerful and can be very dangerous.

[@WadeHarrison]

Like a low head dam is a big stretch?this rapid is fairly friendly at the bottom hole being off angle and hitting the rocks is way more of the danger here then the hole

[@georgewilliamssr5230]

That was painfully entertaining. Some of those boys need to work on their roll tech. and get more reflective rather than reactive.

[@WadeHarrison]

for sure this rapid is a big step up for most and so easy for them to panic first feel they are getting worked good thing it's a easy swim below

[@joshmcnicholl9842]

I was thinking the same a lot of one and done roll attempts. Was wondering if it's real shallow where they end upside down?

[@WadeHarrison]

@@joshmcnicholl9842 In all fairness it’s very shallow and the eddy has a very powerful swirling underwater current and is difficult to get out of so a lot of paddlers this is something new to them so yeah I get it but as you see the swimming is easy to contain the swim in the hole is actually the least of your worries at this rapid

[@joshmcnicholl9842]

@@WadeHarrison fair call bro 👌

[@georgewilliamssr5230]

Hey Wade. Here's one of my training videos. Maybe it might help some of the beginners following your page. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKfFd39nq7Sed8k

[@retaob]

Is it like this every frickin’ weekend when it runs ? Do locals work shifts of beatering harm reduction throughout the day ? What a sh#tshow goldmine of a rapid !

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah this rapid is a big step up for alot of paddlers so I get it you can go to the nanny and sit at the falls and see about the same thing

[@CryptoSurfer]

Ugh… I’m getting sea sick. Man, Wade, if you’re going to have a camera on your head you need to move more slowly.

[@WadeHarrison]

Next time I’m going to bring a folding chair and a grill
