Right on man much appreciated

[@KenYokkao]

Johnny will take the fun out of everything.

[@lookronjon]

The ranger is a good guy. Not condescending. Straight up and helpful. He figured it out that you didn’t know about the corn. You were good on the hook. He saw that you were straight up. I will check out more now. Make some fake corn. That might sell.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

I have to look into the fake corn I hear they sell it already.

[@Shogunersash]

We use to buy the cream corn in the can and dip power bait in the cream. Just open the can and dip a ball on a hook. Works well

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

That sounds like a good idea I'll have to give it a try

[@wesleymadsen4357]

It's good to see fishing is alive and thriving with younger crowds. I have my 5 7 and 17 year Olds slaying.

Nice!!! Got to keep it going...

[@Perfectt852]

We fisherman gotta keep it going. I'll teach complete strangers everything I know if they got the passion ill even bust out extra rods I keep in the back. I've taught my 3 kids and teaching my gf's kids

The chillest fishing video I've ever watched. Great to finally see a cool officer give respect.

Thanks 👍👍👍

cool officer give respect ? he was a dick, asking him to check his hook, seeing his license and knowing the rules is more than enough

Thanks for taking me fishing. I was sitting here bored then you came along. Peace.

👍👍👍

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

A great video. I enjoy your calm, slow demeanor. Your video views on setting up your rigs and baiting are the equal of any; we see it all. In some kayakers you just see their feet when rigging up! You had contact with a very good, understanding Fish & Game enforcement fellow. And you landed and gently released and very big, tired fish. I have to give you the best of maybe all awards for responding to almost every one of your "commenters". Some top fisher UTubers answer maybe 1 of 50 questions they receive. Too busy, forget their roots of fellow fishers, or WHY???

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

I appreciate that big time man. This is super genuine and meaningful comment for me. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@MichaelLamb-ik4xv]

Great job. Those carp can really fight and you played it with perfect patience. Respect to you my brother 🎉

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Yeah man it was scary fighting that on 4lb test.

[@lan-hkum2933]

That’s crazy. In Washington State, if they see us fishing carps cops would not be even interested in checking our fishing license. In Washington State, carps are abundant and considered invasive species. But Cali has different rule, I just learn from your video!

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

They are invasive to California waters too

[@thefisherman6000_USA]

Not in S. Cali. I dont see too many of them in lakes. Down here there is no such regulations as yours.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

@thefisherman6000_USA u guys are lucky down there

[@thejerkbaitfishing5787]

Good to see you out there fishing the streams and tributary. I was born and raised East San Jose & Santa Clara late 70's into the mid 80's. We had Stealhead and Salmon running up from Alviso, CA. I fished all of Penitencia creek up through Alum Rock Park. I'm up in Red Bluff, CA where the Sacramento runs right through town and surrounded by lakes. Keep on Pippin Lups

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Were you able to fish for the salmon back then?

[@tgutier214]

my pops grew up in santa clara. He said the same thing on the steelhead.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Yeah man I wish I was around to see it

[@DontStopReeling]

damn in Alum Rock?! what were you getting into there lol? I'm right down the street and ever since I was a kid I'd always imagine what could've run through these creeks. I do know that there was exponentially more water coming through there back in the day

[@joepangit6938]

Get a box of the cheap plain Knox gelatin. Mix it into juice from canned corn with a couple drops of yellow food coloring. Use enough so it gets pretty hard after it sets up. Chop it up into little cubes and you have a TON of artificial corn. It keeps a long time in the fridge and stays on the hook a lot better than real corn. Nice fishing video! The officer was ok. At least he told you other places to try. Hit those guys up for info! They see a lot of guys fishing, and know all the good spots. - Joe

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Thanks Joe I appreciate the tips I'll have to try that out...

[@scottmcintire8634]

Nice video! In my teens I used to bike from Hillsdale/Almaden to that dam in the Guadalupe with a telescoping spinner rod and reel and a multi pocket fishing vest stuffed with tackle from the Banana Republic catalogue (back when they sold foreign military surplus and safari clothing/gear). I would fish at the base of the dam in the pool between the dam face and the raised concrete lip downstream of the dam, which used to coral some pretty big carp. Managed to take three carp that ran 26”, 17” & 15” with corn. Lots of fun back in the day, as was fishing the perk ponds behind Pioneer HS (one largemouth bass, but usually bluegill and crappie). Hadn’t fished in decades, and I’m sure the license is expensive now. Cheers!

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Oh man I kinda wish I was fishing back then I hear stories about how good it was. It makes me wish I was born sooner lol.

[@westporter1]

Enjoyable video to watch. Carp fishing in the US is totally under appreciated by most of the angling crowd. I went to College in Boston and caught big carp every time I went out for them. Americans often scoffed at the effort but the Europeans loved it!

[@jasonbecker4049]

I ground off the barb on my hook to catch yellow belly bull heads in my farm pond because it slowed me down too much. I caught 400 in one day with the help of a few cousins. They were little fish but we smoked them and they were delicious!

Makes it easier to understand why few people fish in South Bay, way too many restrictions. Doesn't help that most of the bodies of freshwater in that area are also polluted with mercury. Impressive catch of that double digit carp on light tackle though, well done.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Thanks Richard... Yes I fish around here for recreational purposes only. Pretty much a last resort...

[@AnimeNfish]

Yea gopros overheat and shut off for a while . Once it cools a little it can be started back up again. Its unfortunate but there is no way around it. The best thing you can do is have two gopros and switch between them when one of them shuts off

We use barbed hooks for salmon and steelhead in michigan and have success in releasing the fish alive no problem

[@BIGDIAZHooked]

also as far as the GoPro I noticed that it happens with a few situations 1) it sits out in the sun and its too hot to operate and 2) the batteries are getting old and need to be replaced, I usually record using the chest mount and try to keep it covered somewhat

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Yeah I figured as much... Gotta figure it out...

[@Memo-nd6fj]

I'm from the bay area now living in Sac, I used to fish couple places local to me, one was Vasona Lake, some big Carp and Bass there. It used to have a very healthy Crappie population there. I caught my biggest Crappie there (17"). Another place I would fish for big Bass was the San Jose Water works. Is that a place that can still be fished?? And on other place not real close was Uvas dam, really nice Channel Cat lake.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Yeah I really don't target the bass that much. I tend to fish for what I can catch and take home.

[@pierre-rose7783]

When we were kids, we'd just take an old fishing rod, get on our bicycles, and go anywhere along the river, out of sight from the street, and avoided being too close to anyone's house, and we were OK ! We didn't even keep the fish, we'd remove the hook carefully and put the fish back in the water, we just wanted to try fishing once in a while ! All I'm seeing nowadays is people in trouble from strangers, from game wardens, etc. Now you need to know soooo much about licensing, about what's in season, what isn't, what size is legal, and what's not, how many, if your child needs a license if accompanied by a licensed adult, etc. etc. Do I need to study law I order to fish legally ? Fu*k, it's not like I have a 100 ft Chinese trawler and I'm fishing off the coast of Maine !

[@byrde4329]

Yep, it's BS. Not sure when this type of overzealous policing began but in in 2011, I was 16 or so and got a $50 ticket for having a 5 year state license but NOT a local permit. This jerk-off ran my license over the radio too to make sure I wasn't a criminal on the run or something.. At 16, when a lot of kids are out smoking pot and getting into trouble but they decide to mess with the kid doing some fishing on a little 20 acre pond? Really ruined the experience for me and didn't fish again for years after that. But I did start running around my with friends that got in trouble for a couple years after that because it didn't seem to matter if I was fishing or underage drinking.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Man that is the harsh reality some of us deal with when all we trying to do is get our fish on.

[@MysticMonkeyMiracle]

@@byrde4329 alcohol has no medical benefits at all, and destroys our body's. You'd be better of vaping or eating some pot, and then going fishing.

[@gtwolfe100]

An unfortunate end result of massive irresponsibility by a faction of the fishing public. Many, many folks are still being totally selfish in their actions by taking undersized fish, allowing fish to die and then throwing them back into the water, taking over limit, taking out of season..., the list is almost endless. And, unfortunately, attempts to correct illegal behavior without law enforcement is generally met with abusive responses from the rest of the public. Much like people claiming that they teach their kids values like honesty and the same people labeling someone a "rat" when they report a bad actor, many fishermen dislike the abuses by a few but also do not act to stop it. 20 years ago I was practically chased off the Belmont pier for having the audacity to confront a guy who was about to cut up a halibut that was about 6" under the size limit. Even the boneheads around me knew that a halibut that size has not spawned yet and there is no better way to destroy a fishery than to kill off the potential breed stock. But rather than back me up everyone else either ignored the event or criticised me for interfering with another fisherman. Regulation is annoying but the end result of a combination of simply too much fishing pressure and too much abuse by a part of the community. Sad, but without it we would probably have no fishing left at all.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

[@NickAkerboom]

DJI has an awesome camera. GoPro will always have problems.

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Yeah I have been looking into DJI products and they look pretty cool.

[@escoltafortnite6996]

can you make a video which are the hooks you can't use

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

That is a good idea

[@BIGDIAZHooked]

hold on he said there was 4-5 pound bass nearby? ima need to go check this place out lol

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Ha ha yup gotta be barbless tho

[@andytheturtle87]

When DFW say artificial, they mean straight plastics, no flavored/scented baits like gulps or even salted Senkos so Berkleys artificial corn isn't legal for restricted streams/rivers.

[@PHUCKyoutube689]

I have never heard of anyone e being busted for Senkos. I fish Lake Barret which is an artificial only and DFW never says anything about my senkos even though they look right at them closely when examining my barbs. Gulp they will bust you for using.

I used to do a lot of fishing when I was young but then the government started to add all kinds of unnecessary over controlling regulations so I quit fresh water fishing. I understand the need for regulations to protect fish during their breading and having some size limits but some other regulations are over the top with control issues. I see a lot of people fishing from bridges and wonder what happened to the law that made it illegal to fish from a bridge? I also see so many fishermen throwing their catch back and wonder why fish at all if you do not want to eat what you catch?

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Yeah I agree some laws are a little outrageous but it is what it is. I often fish to eat but it really depends on the species and the water quality as this river has a lot of trash and sewage that I would not dare to eat anything from it.

[@randellgribben9772]

nice fish,, i fly fish for carp on some lakes,, hard to catch, but when you catch one on a fly rod... its a great fight to get them to net..nice of the dfw to spot out a better spot for you..i always fish barbless. easier to release the fish, or pill the hook out of you body ( happen alot when fly fishing big flys, like for stripers, we call it ' chuck and duck ' ) anyway..its not really the barb hold the fish on, its the curve of the hook and the pressure you put on the rod/ line that keeps them on

[@ItGetsReelFishing]

Nice!!! I have yet to fly fish, it seems like it's a good fight when you hook up.
