[@garretthorsch8143]

This is precisely why I always crack a window or take the keys with me. I got locked out of my car while it was started in a scenario just like this. So I will always put the keys in my pocket or give myself enough window room to get my arm in there. Glad you at least had fun fishing. It’s ridiculous that it took them that long to come and help you. In this scenario I would just call the cops or a locksmith and have them bring a slim jim to unlock the door

[@estelleschneider9033]

Yes, I accidently locked my keys in my car while it was running..this was locally..so I had to run all the way home to get my spare keys...took hours..car was running atva coffee shop 😮😂

Glad you finally got rescued! Thanks for making this video, it’s really cool to see you catching all the fish down in the Everglades. But just one thing just be really careful standing on the side of the road fishing. All it takes is just one person to be distracted, and drift out of their lane and then hit you. I know that I’ve done fished from the side of the road in the past too, and I should take my own advice, but I just pray you’ll be safe.

[@stonefly69]

I rented a car in Europe that at first was a pain and then I recognized it was a blessing: you could not lock the keys inside either the car or the trunk. When you unlocked the trunk, the key stayed in the latch. When you unlocked the car, it would not re-lock unless you had the keys/fob out of the car. Such a lifesaver on a rental! Fun vid!!!

[@something-about-nothing]

It was nice and a welcome break from a normal [ well planned and executed] Brent video and a true life screw up and the way you put it all together with the feeling something bigger is coming even when u git the net stuck and showed your fu** ups and it was nice and welcoming to see when things actually go wrong not trying to make yourself always look good and perfect ! Been a fan for a long time

[@NavigatingwithNafe]

Wow, thank God for the tow truck driver!! I used to live in Tampa & know how that Florida heat can be. Glad to see you got help & that you're doing better now. Sheesh! What an experience!

[@ipaulosan]

That is why I wear pants or shorts with pockets. As soon as I pull the keys from the ignition they go straight into the pocket. If they not in the ignition they're in my pocket. If I'm in the driver seat with the car on and need to step out to say get something out of the trunk or back seat before I drive off I will always lower the driver window just in case the car locks itself. Anyways glad to hear you were able to get out of this mess successfully.

Brant, you are the KZbinr of the year. Locked out of car hmm let’s video me fishing. The Pensacola phenom.

[@justobserving170]

GEEZE! Man, you have more patience than I do. Those windows would have been gone in a few hours if it was me stuck out there. I am glad it worked out ok for you.

[@NoMoreInfo4You]

I've locked the keys in my car numerous times. Now I have a hide away key holder stuck by magnet under the car. Keep a house key in there too. Also at gas pumps or anywhere I might be outside the car for a few minutes the window is left down enough to get my arm in if need be. Only the window part would help in a rental.

[@danieldetrick1230]

Glad things turned out alright for you. Like you, I wouldn't want to spend the night with gators crawling everywhere. Props to you for keeping your cool. Me, I would've busted that window after 3 hours, damn the cost. 🤣🤣🤣

[@sammylacks4937]

I m counting more Gators than you are counting fish. Why not try wading. It may have been possible to cut rod tip at top guide and remove the rest then work the tip in at top of door and down to window down button or door unlock. Sacrificing your rod to allow you to gain entry would be better than spending the night in the middle of the everglades with no ride , food or water. Worse all those Gators come out at night to feed along with the Burmese pythons. I believe if the rod hack proved futile a rock to the passenger window would be in order.

[@rodwoods2108]

Once I was in a similar position. Might as well jsut go on and Turkey hunt. Cannot do anything else. Managed to call one in for my big chief. HE was a total newby but I was so happy to see him close the deal. It was one of those fairly rare Noon kills. Better than wasting time and being half sick with myself for my screup. Way to go man.

Where I live in East Texas [the boonies/farming community] we do alot of pond hopping ! EVERY farm that has any amount of acreage/livestock usually will have several ponds some are small mudholes an some are huge 30-60 acre ,some are absolutely full of fish an some aren't ! There is 1 pond in particular that's within walking distance of my place and its on a piece of property that has been up for sale for ages [over 6 years] and its as you'd expect VERY overgrown an VERY hard to fish because of that BUT if your brave enough to weather a few chigger bites then this little pond is FULL of huge ''war mouth'' perch an they have a unique and beautiful coloration that I've NEVER seen anywhere else [I've fished ALOT of ponds etc] ! They are very colorful but what's unique is they have little black spots/dots all over them as if someone took a pepper shaker an gave them all a few shakes on each side ! Ive been fishing this area for decades an this is the ONLY place that I've EVER seen this particular color variation !
