Update On The Draining Of Lake Conway! Dead Fish Everywhere!

[@Tonystayfishin]

I should’ve said game and fish is draining it in the beginning sorry for the confusion and misunderstanding!

[@standingbear998]

why not feed the hungry? this is a disgrace, wanton waste on a massive scale.

[@Youarat225]

you’d think they’d go in with a shiel net or something before draining

[@mikebutts8211]

I'm sure u and all dim hungry folk can eat all dim fish u be wantin.

[@Adam-y4h2n]

That is for update on the lake . Have property in Mayflower but don’t get there often. Enjoyed watching you fish with the kiddos . Keep up the good work!

[@Tonystayfishin]

Will do! Thanks for the support!

[@tawuanaallen2831]

I enjoyed watching y’all also!

[@aliaskong1723]

They drained Arkabutlr in Mississippi.

Man, I have missed you Great to see ya back. Fish On Brother. Chuck C

[@Tonystayfishin]

Good to be back man thanks for the support brother!

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Great Family Video (sans the maggots, that is!). Lol Next time, you might try to get out to Adam's Lake area (you might want to let the mud dry out some first, after the weekend rain we had), and there's Plenty of water there! Big Fish Abound there, and Easy to Cast to'em from shoreline...! Good luck, my Friend...

[@Tonystayfishin]

Yeah the maggots weren’t it 😂 thanks for the recommendation! I’ll be sure to check it out when I get the chance

[@Tommyhoangz23]

it's sad that the water level has been low in many places recently even at the dams but your content is great. i'm vietnamese😊

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@Tommyhoangz23 Yeah man extra sad about the dams lately lol, I appreciate the support brother!

[@JaimePerez-os7bu]

This is where Cole and Jay filmed the other day,

[@Straycat733]

I wouldn’t eat any of those fish with that green Algae which poisonous

[@codylovelace2237]

Sad to see the destruction our government causes and people just let them do it.

[@JaJon87]

Stocked up on a lot of shad in the freezer right there throughout my life. Especially when they were swimming upwards towards the gates over the spillway! Easy peezy, no hang! 😂

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@JaJon87 Man! Gonna miss it.. I need a new honey hole now for bait lol

[@moochiezminizmedia]

Looks like a buffalo skeleton

[@Danny_Harris-Arts]

that hole you were fishing in is an old farm pond that was flooded when the lake filled

[@COLE_and_JAY]

I need to take 3 baths after watching this lol

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@COLE_and_JAY It was pretty disgusting 😂

[@dwainmorgan8550]

That was fun watching you guys fish.

[@JaJon87]

Dang Tony! You went in after that fish!!😮😅 Ain't no way I would ever try that there 🤢 haha! Respect!!!

[@tawuanaallen2831]

I said the same thing, never would I get in that water!😂

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@JaJon87 man I thought I was gonna be able to get the fish in time 😂

Wow!! Thanks for the great video! I live overseas but home is Bigelow! Thank you guys!!!! 😊🙏

[@Tonystayfishin]

Of course! Thanks for the support!

[@dwainmorgan8550]

There been no way I would have jumped in that water. You got the cork back , great job.

[@Tonystayfishin]

It was pretty nasty 😂 I actually was still contemplating on going in but the rocks gave out under me lol

[@JS-jf7gv]

I can only imagine the smell

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@JS-jf7gv horrible

[@josephkee1298]

That was not a smart move fast way to get hurt glad to see you got out ok

[@dwainmorgan8550]

The best video I have seen on lake Conway so far. I have been watching sense day one,great job.

[@Tonystayfishin]

Thanks a lot for the support!!

[@ultimateormus7903]

Thanks for the update

[@Straycat733]

Where is this ?

[@flea8332]

i cant wait till this is finished should be a great place to fish after....

[@typicalpizza409]

Tony, I was fishing across from you yesterday. I won't say where. Holy smokes, y'all killed it. When's that video dropping? I caught my PB there yesterday too. It was a good day.

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@typicalpizza409 Man that was the best day for us in 3 months lol, I’m about to work on it right now! I heard ya sayin that’s a big one! How many lb??

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@typicalpizza409 also congrats on the pb!

[@typicalpizza409]

@Tonystayfishin I have no idea about the weight. My scale batteries were dead. It was from my waist to the ground, and I'm 6'3". I'm going to say at least 12-15#. It may have been more. It never even let me know it was there. I saw a nibble, waited 10 minutes to check my bait, and it was on there. Both flats that I caught were like that. I had no idea either fish was there. Congrats on those catches. I won't give it the amount away, but gosh damn y'all killed it. We'll be back out there Saturday morning.

[@tawuanaallen2831]

Hello I’m a new subscriber, I enjoyed u and the family together having a great time together fishing! Keep it up❤😂

DUDEEEEE I LIVE SUPER CLOSE TO THAT LAKE

[@michaelcoleman338]

I would go fishing in this lake every time I would visit my aunt up in Conway or my cousin in Green Brier. Kind of sad man.

[@Tonystayfishin]

Real sad man hopefully the renovations don’t take too long!

[@joshandrews7097]

Was just there last week had 5 poles out for catfish and not a single bite! I was looking forward to it because I figured everything would be trapped in one place!

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@joshandrews7097 daaang where did you fish at exactly?!

[@KatMo7121]

My property is on northern Conway- the lake looks like a meadow of alligator grass now. I wish they would go ahead and demolish the old dam so the rest of the live fish can get out.

[@Youarat225]

that’d be expensive.. think logically

[@moochiezminizmedia]

There was about 10 people out there fishing today after watching your video. What were you using to catch the buffalo and catfish

[@Tonystayfishin]

@@moochiezminizmedia Spoon/shad for the catfish and we’d hit the carp on the spoons by accident 😅

[@almacobbs4523]

That’s some good bait

[@Gentry09]

I can smell it yuck 🤮 lol

How far from the dam was that little water hole? Might try to get out there before too long

[@Tonystayfishin]

It’s on the same road to get to the dam! Gonna be on your left coming in

[@LonerKD6-3.7]

This is so sad I missed out on so much haven’t fished there in awhile

[@Tonystayfishin]

Yeah gonna miss it forsure

[@codylovelace2237]

Your fishing in that lake won't recover for many many years.

[@Basscater81]

If they do it correctly it won’t take long

[@codylovelace2237]

@@Basscater81 yep the video shows them doing it correctly huh? Lmao it doesn't matter. When you devastate a lake like that it takes many years for the fish to ever trust those places again. They will stay in the deeper water where they know it is safe.

[@Basscater81]

@@codylovelace2237 it won’t be the same fish

[@thagingerninjer5391]

@@Basscater81this man thinks the fish that are dead are going to come back, and not trust the lake. 😂 Bro, none of those fish are going to be around.

[@Basscater81]
