Fishing a CONTROVERSIAL River (TOPWATER BLOWUPS!!)

[@SeekOneProductions]

Guys please do not fall for these scammers that are making fake accounts. We would never ask you to send money to us. Do not fall for this. It’s happening on a lot of other creators pages as well. We try to block as many of these accounts as we can but they keep making them. DO NOT SEND ANYONE MONEY.

[@adrianstutzman]

I noticed the same thing on Chris Bee’s channel. They used Chris’s logo and your logo to reply to peoples comment and tell them that they were randomly selected to win.

[@easternoutdoorsman2521]

Yep seen quite a bit of this lately. I mark as many as I see as spam. But they are relentless.

[@kylewaninger6586]

had that happen to me on chris bees, guy was saying that he was gonna send a new carbon bow, then asked for like 130 dollers

[@logancline7805]

Yeah that happened to me, I thought I had won the freaking bow from the giveaway 😅

[@logancline7805]

Also I noticed y’all made the switch to realtree over mossy oak🤔

[@jacksoncunningham5378]

We have this exact problem here in TN. Landowners privatizing our public resources, blocking off areas. I’ve even been threatened to get shot. It helps if you carry around an extra bag for trash, pick up any you can carry. Also we can all help keep landowners happy by respecting the waterways and keeping them clean. A lot of these folks are just tired of all the trash on their banks

[@dustinshaw1823]

I don't see that it's a problem these "natural resources" were stolen from these landowners by the government. You can't blame them for not wanting trespassers on what was and should be their property.

[@jacksoncunningham5378]

@@dustinshaw1823 yes americas water and wildlife have always been owned by the public. Just because you own a parcel doesn’t mean you own the wildlife on it or the river running through it

[@justingoodrich2519]

Thanks for adding some visibility to the privatization issue guys. As someone who lives here, and fishes that area, and has enjoyed it with my family, it’s a low blow to see it restricted.

[@Pr1mitiveHunter]

There was no set guideline on what species the fish must be! Bowfin for the win!

[@kylewaninger6586]

do not scam this guy

[@jonnydupuis2041]

I'm on Lee's side for this one 😂 gotta let him win one

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Yep, no species was defined, just "longest fish".

[@matthewlowther5526]

Yeah

[@jakeharris5015]

Me to

[@aidengatto3193]

In NY there are some parts of the lake Erie tributaries that are private. But the land is private not the water, so you can be in a kayak or raft that is not touching the land and still be able to fish. As long as nothing is touching the land then you are legal

[@patg2544]

The bass are like a mix of spots and smallmouth. Wild.

[@mikeniles6349]

Eddie's place makes THE best Brisket Hamburgers in the South!!

[@orinbyrd3379]

This has also happened in marshes that are connect to the river in Louisiana/Texas and they have been giving anyone who goes in tickets

[@austinbagwell345]

Your quality of production never ceases to amazing me! Keep up the good work guys

[@MrDonohuea]

I know nucanoe sells lift kits for the seats. But there's a cheaper way, that will give you more room underneath for storage. Just get one inch pvc couplers and the three and half inch toilet bowl floor mounting bolts. I stacked washers above and below the coupler and the seat is raised three inches now. I keep a ton of tackle beneath the seat now. The best mod for it though, is to order 1 inch aluminum pipe and a T-connector with some bicycle handles. Just slide the pipe in through the hole in the back and you have a comfortable double handle. Makes the kayak feel half as light.

[@smokyoakbbqco2385]

As a 32 year land surveyor, the guide is correct, non-navigable waters. They can block it off. Doesn't mean I agree with it. But, as far as changing the laws, lots of moving parts and considerations. One, lets say the river is 100' wide from top of bank to top of bank, so roughly 50' from top of bank to centerline of the river, which would represent the property line. For a tract that has 1 mile of frontage, that 50' strip would equate to 264,000 square feet, or 6 acres of area that was purchased when the land was bought. For the state to change the law, and open that up to public use, you can bet the land owners would be seeking indemnification for that area. Granted, the State could "take it" through the process of eminent domain, if they so desired, but the land owners would still be compensated. Just not at the dollar figure they paid for it, most likely. Again, I would be all for it, but I also respect people's property rights that they paid money for. And of course, opening it up would likely cause those property owners more harm than good, from litter, trespassing up outside the river corridor, etc. Not everyone is as good a people as you guys at SeekOne are, and they would abuse it. The perfect scenario would be to obviously compensate the land owners, give them tax breaks (beyond the fact they would be paying less taxes now that they have less acreage), set strict laws and ENFORCE them. Just to name a few ideas.

[@amorton94]

Man, I wish the Platte through the Front Range of CO had decent fishing and better float access. This looks absolutely amazing.

[@lukestauffer4556]

River fishing is multi species heaven. Bowfin W

[@rustywallace4596]

You fellas should check out the Buffalo National River in north Arkansas its an amazing smallmouth fishery. Y’all rock

[@willmorrisett6987]

Y'all should do some trout fishing on the Chattahoochee river

[@cadecauble1262]

Man super cool to see y’all right in my own stomping grounds! Also thank y’all for putting me in for a sec!

[@Dolbee49277]

The definition is Navigable. I tell land owners this all the time. If I’m in a stream fishing trout and you own the land on the side I’m not trespassing as long as I’m below the normal high tide level.

[@carlmartin4577]

Awesome video my connection appeared in Virginia

[@jmanoutdoors4261]

Yall's Videos have such a Alive sibe! LOVE IT!

[@gerardklebba8634]

Nice poison ivy dermatitis on the gopro shots. It's our life in MI all summer unless we sit on the couch in the AC all summer. And ticks In the spring. I'm glad we deer hunt in the cold!

[@doubleaoutdoorstv8566]

Great video guys! Definitely some crushing blowups by those shoal bass.. River fishing is always an adventure!

[@skarvo1]

I heard longest fish

[@cadens8530]

Lee 100% has the win on that they said fish not shoalie

[@roadrashr6]

There is a super popular river in Pettis county,mo the landowner put signs up for the land and it states water is public don’t leave waterway.

[@roadrashr6]

These text me scam things are preventing people from commenting now a days.

[@mathspudgun]

More kayak fishing videos guys! I love this!

[@jonathanpittman9210]

Easton is gonna be DEATH on gobblers!

[@fullerbasslife3041]

I go to cedar rock all the time to tune my bow love the videos keep up the good work

[@andrewneece8287]

Here in VA as long as u don't touch the bottom u can pass I belive

[@brycesasser8615]

God bless y’all’s channel love the videos something to do when I’m not hunting or fishing

[@YakAngling]

I have some small rivers similar to this in my area and have dealt with areas that I could not go through either. Looking forward to getting some river grass fishing content like this up on my YakAngling channel. Great Video!!

[@Crowesonthefly]

Guides do that in va and market as private stream fishing and it really is none can fish back there like the dude said it can snowball effect it did here

[@j.dalemorgan2975]

I heard fish tournament. Specifics and details matter. It’s like playing HORSE and not calling “backboard” before you you use it on a shot.

[@kalebhood7282]

WE NEED A STORY TIME PODCAST!!!!

[@billybankhead02]

I love the look of the largemouth down there they have a similar pattern to the smallmouth

[@jimlahey3919]

They are shoal bass. Not largemouth

[@jhoffman81]

The unmistakable sound of a whopper plopper

[@mileymyers_]

Yay! I love the fishing videos! Keep it up! I hope one day I can meet y’all, my dad is friends with Erick Thornhill! So if you’re ever in Oklahoma maybe if you give me a chance I would love to meet y’all! I love watching your videos they are all so amazing and they inspire me to go outdoors more and more!

[@georgemott710]

If it's a bass tournament than no you can't count the bowfin,gar,whatever that fish was. Now longest fish no question Lee

[@Psy6o]

I caught a monster at the third bay at the dam over 9pounds i had just moved up from Jacksonville fl i thought it was a small mouth or something and released it i had never heard ofva shoal bass at that time

[@nrg7397]

That was a bowfin that was super mean!

[@garrettcooke1719]

bro how have i not seen this video yet . i have literally lived in woodbury for 5 years just got my biggest shoalie of 23". longer than the current state record but was post spawn , luckily, he didnt let yall in on the best spot on the flint for shoal bass

[@bradenhofer3473]

U know it’s a Dayum good day when seek one uploads

[@connorwilliams997]

Amen

[@robertmashburn3900]

Awsome fishing guys. 26 winner winnet...!!!

[@underdogoutdoors]

Looks like Georgia has changed for the better since I lived there in the 1990's!!

[@stewartterwilliger1060]

Fish tournament every goes!

[@jarlveni2684]

Lee def won with the bowfin!!!

[@michaelporterfield9081]

In sc, you own the land, but not the water or wildlife. If you can get through it without walking on the bottom, you can absolutely use it and fish and hunt it (ducks). You just can’t get out or touch the land under the water. Makes sense to me.

[@garrettcooke1719]

in a lot of stretches on the flint if you own both sides and the river is "non navicable" you pretty much own the water, its bs

[@stevebailey3089]

I'm on Lee's side biggest fish and he did try to land that Gar

[@davidbilliter5619]

Lee, if you had thrown that grendel on the bank , I'd have voted for ya. Putting that thing back in the water was like letting a coyote walk ! Lol. BTW, love shoals bass fishing . I was shooting for the state record for years . 6lb 12oz post spawn female is my best . She was 27" long . She would have Been a contender if I had caught her a month earlier . Okmulgee river though. I wanted to steal the record from the flint river . Ivr seen a couple easy 8+lbs fish on the bed, but they are spooky . I couldn't get them to play.

[@jasonsimotes4157]

Congrats on the dub again Drew.

[@christopherreitz8962]

Biggest fish!!

[@ronshaulis7366]

Always thought a natural water way was state owned. Who’s to stop someone from damning it up and putting in power generators

[@ronshaulis7366]

Thanks but no thanks

[@WildOne.]

Love the videos man keep the good work!!

[@gregtodd4220]

I would say you won with the bowfin and the nip rip! 😏

[@jasonhnot9222]

If I lost every fishing challenge I would try and bend the rules so I could finally get a W .. lol

[@midsouthoutdoors7321]

Pretty fish. I have never seen one of those.

[@anythingoutdoors2566]

Lee won no doubt he didn’t say what type of fish W for Roy and the largemouth was definitely bigger anyways

[@mikeeastabrooks6204]

Sorry Lee bass fishing is bass fishing,but on similar note on the legalities on the water access.I moved to Nashville last year and there is a creek I found loaded with fat smallmouths.The water is so clean and cold and drinkable and somewhat private.Sad to say developers are trying to pump water from a treatment plant into it.

[@jaredrichards482]

On Lee's side for sure!!

[@josephdress2025]

It's refreshing to see a fisherman/ sportsman from the previous generation say that the current laws and regs are outdated and need to be changed.

[@cole5038]

As long as you stay the water you can go anywhere up a creek/ river or anything talked to a game warden about it nobody owns the public water

[@josht8239]

No species was defined, so Lee wins this one!

[@scottconine1832]

Lee you got it. About time

[@flip5097]

If the land owners and having problems with people leaving trash, I get that. Easy way to still allow people to fish it and keep river traffic down. Close those points on the river on the weekends. Allow fishing Monday through Thursday. People fishing during the week are likely to respect the environment. Weekend warriors are a big problem everywhere! But rivers should be open to the public.

[@scottclark1168]

You deserve a win but with a bowfin,come on now,lol,great video that place was amazing

[@colterpenninton3768]

you guys are my favorite KZbinrs hopefully I can be like you one day

[@fessenden3337]

Favorite KZbinrs with a solid 2 comments total on there channel ever??? Seems ligit

[@matthewfisher9352]

Doesn't matter about their state laws. Public water is all federal and passable. Same as when a river floods, you can be on the water in another person's field as long as you don't touch land.

[@sambo_rtr7256]

Bowfin for the win!! 🎣🇺🇸 #freetheflint

[@tyhillman21]

Bowfin are cooler than bass anyway, should count for double! Lee wins this one.

[@c.b.outdoors1996]

What editing software and computer are you guys running ? Trying to just get started with my KZbin channel any recommendations

[@cw_fishing]

Y’all was in my neck of the woods I’m from Woodbury Ga

[@fishingforfun9306]

Lee gets the win for longest fish

[@BrotherhoodBAD]

Lee wins with the bofin. yall didnt specify, just said largest fish.

[@hunterpursell1693]

Man if 1/2 of y’all knew how loaded the chattahoochee is down there in Cobb county y’all would be shocked

[@adamcastle6324]

You guys should come fish the rocky river in Ohio for smallies and steelhead

[@7979Army]

I hope the laws of Georgia change involving the Private property crap and the Rivers.

[@The_Judge300]

Of course only bass should count. And specially not a bowfin. Everybody know it. Even someone desperate to finally get a win. It reminds me of friends desperate to win against me trout fishing, trying to make pikes count.

[@everb90]

Bowfin wins it! Y'all said longest fish not longest bass. Sorry Drew.

[@carlmartin4577]

Is great video none the less

[@LivingTheDreamHunting]

I love your guys videos

[@coltennienhuis8914]

I love seek one.

[@Brett_S]

I would have to go with the biggest fish...

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

Awesome video!!!!!

[@howardedwards5908]

You won with the bowfin

[@jonathansimmons4253]

What was the 26 inch fish? I didn't recognize it.

[@jivarie]

You're in the flint, the largest shoaly wins.

[@codyholifield3440]

Lee won that one with 26” biggest fish

[@ColtonMcGough]

Yo I have the same blue Shimano rod except as a casting rod

[@matthewcrosby7146]

All game fish count!

[@franksonfly1838]

No fish species was stated, biggest fish wins, Lee wins with the bowfin.

[@Outdoorsmanlife]

Great video

[@tadglidden679]

Biggest fish for sure

[@gregunderwood5566]

You cant own a river period 😂😂

[@allenwilson9656]

Here in Texas it's to the first cut bank .

[@brandonseanbodrey]

I'm on the side on duck hunting the flint but been told by game warden I can not because of the land is owned and for duck hunting it kinda makes sense because ducks are flying so they r in the air so that means your shooting on private property

[@chrisself4303]

It says a lot about a man's character when he's o.k. with getting the win using a trash fish....

[@tylernester218]

Bowfin for sure

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Man I want to be friends with you guys 😂

[@jaredalexander5874]

I'm pretty sure you cannot own the water as long as you do not mess with any trees or step out of your boat onto the bottom of the river

[@colbychoat5279]

Bowfin got it

[@dominicregos4902]

26” bowfin

[@stephenlaney_bjj]

its in the details, biggest fish not specific to species.
