Amazing job, Cole. Thank you. There are several (former) fishing partners that would discard old fishing lines in the lakes and rivers. Often, some would keep every fish that they caught, legal or not. They only wanted to drink beer, sink their cans, and abuse the environment. I'm so grateful for people like you and who do what you do. Many Blessings.

[@markblix6880]

I have a couple guys who are banned from my boat

[@jimfenstermaker400]

Good job saving the turtle and thank you for your compassion for wildlife. If more people would think before throwing old line in the water it would benefit the environment and wildlife!

[@BrianandAmandasReptileJourney]

Excellent job with the turtle, Cole! As another fellow "fishercouple"/reptile lovers, we thank you. Great video as always!

[@AngieWolfK72]

Thank you for saving him Cole. It’s heartbreaking to see what some people do to our waters….. You’re awesome! ❤

[@packerjh2]

When he snags up, does he swim out and recover the line and lure that he lost?

[@jeffreyroehm5904]

If he does he's a fool​@@packerjh2

[@bettytrotman2124]

Thank you sweet boy for helping the turtle ❤

[@pwrplnt1975]

Great Work! Thank you for saving the turtle! Nothing drives me nuts more than finding gobs of mono and braid all over the place!

[@kellystenson7800]

Well done, Cole. Glad you were able to get the turtle free from the line. Even though you didn’t catch many, what you did catch were really nice. God bless

[@josephpecoraro2788]

Dude you can catch fish out of a puddle thanks for the update on your lake and can't wait for more fishing videos to come hope to see more of your little fishing buddies and Jay.

[@user-rd7tz2oj7b]

Amazing job saving the turtle !

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Good on you for freeing the turtle of that mess of line. Nice bass!! 👍

[@shahnapaul2005]

Great catches! Thank you for saving the turtle.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great thing you did you probably saved the turtles life Great video

[@dannybrown4393]

Awesome video Cole enjoyed it good job on the turtle

[@AnyaDiary]

Good job gays😍👍🏻beautiful nature, I like the place, beautiful, cool, extraordinary, cool video, I enjoyed the video, happy work, always successful and healthy for you, Amen, thank you, my dear friend, I hope you always have a happy day💝

[@johnreiter4889]

I’m always finding line discarded by others too, sad and counter productive if you want your fishing area to remain healthy. When I have to discard line, I wind it up on itself and put it in my back pocket. It sometimes puzzles my wife when she checks my pockets for the laundry though!😊

[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

Cole that was cool the way you saved the turtle.

[@michaelupchurch3769]

Very good job for saving that turtle all that fishing line on his legs around his neck thank you very much you did a wonderful job doctor

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Cole,Jay, and Kiddos ❤. Not only the poor Turtles, but if you ever saw a Ducks feet tangled and strangled,cut and green, they would not leave line balls on shore😡. He's beautiful, thanks, Bro🎉. Wow 5lbs👍. Not bad though, at least you got some and you saved a Turtle❤. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@melissajohnson3547]

❤ so glad you saved that turtle. You should keep those bass and start you a pond at your house have some pet bass that cypress and summer can hand feed one day.

[@davidknutson8126]

I thank you and the turtle thanks. They need all the help they can get. I'm always stopping to get them out of the road especially when the females are coming to high ground to the lay their eggs.

[@louisjardine1158]

Yup, I hear Ya , I always ball my line up and put it in My back pocket. Last summer at a fishing spot I saw a bird that was tangled up in fishing line, It was a Robin and I had to cut away at the line to get it free. I felt so damn good helping that bird ! People need to show more respect !

[@jenmcpena5857]

Great job saving thar turtle Cole

[@chrisyount5198]

we got on a few today over in the river. good video!

[@user-fv4uk2pp1t]

I fished ponds in Pennsylvania that was full of carp . I had my holes dug to plant tomatoes and peppers along with other plants. In the bottom of a 2 foot deep hole i put a shovel of fresh chicken or cow manure, several shovels of garden compost . Then a carp per hole with soil to almost level with surrounding garden. Put plant in with plastic cap on top to create grean house effects to plant a little earlier,fresh manure produces heat for possibly 3 weeks that protects from freezing. 2 shovels of manure may be better. Reasons i dig at least 2 foog is manure and fish provide beneficial elements but it's the moisture that draws roots deep earlier in growth. Because of this when summer comes real hot ,roots aren't near surface to dry out because of drought. End up with healthier plants with better yield. Old bath tubs with hot manure in bottom and soil six inches from top of tub . Tub is sunk into the ground to lip of tub . Section off to put tomatoes, peppers, cabbage and other plants needing earlier start. Put plastic over. Place soil on edges to seal and hold down. Takes 6 weeks at least. February or early march to have by mid may or early June past frost dates . But if you do fish and manure tactic allows before frost. If when doing this put plastic cover over for several sunny days to allow soil to warm to prevent shock . Im going to be 65 i learned this from old farmers that always has the most beautiful gardens. Best to you!

[@sanster7700]

❤🐢 the turtle is thankful.

[@dessiplaer]

Mighty Cole to the rescue!

[@tombrown7577]

That's called making the best with what you got!

[@JuanGomez-qu9gq]

Thanks so many times I've I've cleaned cleaned up somebody else's fishing line. It's so sad people don't have more respect for wildlife.

[@jasonlechler577]

Thanks for saving the turtle,first time watching

[@BobBohner4851]

Great message Cole

[@williampruitt8420]

Awesome, Cole. Mr. turtle and I thank you.

[@bobbytodd5846]

Super job Cole. Love the fishing, the turtle was the best part. God bless you guys

[@ginawyatt8129]

I love that you helped Mr. Turtle Cole. Thank YOU!! P.S. I like your new haircut. :)

[@frankiejerardenno2678]

Thankfor saving that that TURTLE COAL❤

[@frankiejerardenno2678]

TURTLS ARE SACRED COAL

[@joangeddes380]

Amazing job on saving that turtle and awesome fishing 🥰👋🤗👍🎣🐠🐟🐢

[@papat7770]

Good afternoon folks

[@mrmilo5203]

Enjoyed the content Cole👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@user-po7iv4ni3o]

Unbelievable how lucky that turtle got! I've been pretty devastated as a new fisherman to find as much discarded line as I have... In well under a year of fishing.

[@tonywoody5696]

Thank you for releasing the fish so sportsman like. Most these days give them a big toss or just drop them in shallow water. Fish need compassion too. Thanks!

[@ValTxCatfish]

Great job Cole on the recuse! Nice bass also! ❤

[@JD.California_monkey_mackerel]

I'm thankful that you were there to help that before turtle 🐢 it makes me sad that people do this why don't thy pick up there stuff

[@ericaruefthaler7055]

Y'all are amazing❤❤ I love watching your videos the love you and JJ have for each other is really beautiful and your kids are so cute ❤❤ thanks for all the videos but we need Cole and Jay merch much love from Erie Pennsylvania

[@martyhenry7032]

God bless you Cole🙏 Please pickup your trash and lets put it in the right place. Remember a great fishermen respects the rivers and land, together we can keep it clean. God bless 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🙏

[@packerjh2]

Yes, let's every1 do our best to pick up our trash, let's also lean on the unintentional loss of tackle due to the stumps and not make a whole click bait video on it!! Whenever u have droughts, u find lots of stuff on the lake bottom, let's not give the fishing community a bad name! You can't control where your line brakes, u can predict when your rod is going to fall out of the boat, or fish steal it. All we can do , is our best!

[@2873lonewolf]

I have to be honest, everything after the turtle release was kinda meh...lol Of course i enjoyed the entire video, great bonus you got to save a turtle. Its a mess for the animal when they get caught up in plastics. The only thing that keeps my blood pressure low with that, since i'm an angler I know break offs happen. Sometimes our bad luck fishing breaking off, causes other wildlife to suffer by getting caught in our line laying at bottom of creek/river/lake. That being better by fact it wasn't a lazy bum that left his garbage, which DOES get my blood pressure boiling.

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Cole, Jay, Cyprus and Summer. Great video. Always makes my day better. I have learned a lot from you about fishing lures. Great job saving the turtle. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@earlshaner4441]

Outstanding job brother

[@lorettataylor9902]

Cole good going with the turtle 😊

[@randyblevins9489]

This was the turtle's lucky day ! Being found by a renowned Herpetologist, namely, Cole Harken. I don't think the average angler would have gone to that great length to save that turtle. They are one of GOD's creatures, although being slow on land, they may have been one of the last animals to get on the ARK., but they made it ! Hope this made you smile. So sad to see the lake back in that condition. Several nice bass tagged. Pap Blevins

[@carolynmartin9934]

Jay... That Turtle just won the Lottery. Love your channel

[@Pyle81]

Dude, this is the PERFECTLY Opportunity to fly this whole lake with a Drone and record the whole lake or where you like to fish it. You can chart all the ledges and drop off's and and sunken structure thats no one else can see when the water level is up. We also use times like this to build man made structure (Where legal). We take old Christmas Tree's out and lash them together with stainles wire. And this turns into fantastic Crappie and Yellow Perch structure.

[@mikethetoolman8776]

saving the turtle was worth the trip! i clean up line everytime out always crappie line and lures it seems

[@jamessandifer3405]

Largemouth bass are quite tasty. You definitely had some keepers.

[@donaldwatson3822]

Great fishing

[@royschlickeisen2539]

Great 🎣video and saving the turtle I go a small lake here in central Texas it’s unbelievable how trashy some people can be it’s sad .

[@michaelclinard4969]

That’s awesome man how you help that turtle great fishing as well I’m gonna buy some of them jigs

[@stevetalley5800]

Thanks for saving the turtle. Great job!

[@korycolorado]

Great save!

[@MsKindaSorta]

I pick up so much line out on the lake. Really wish people would try a little to do better.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Respect 👊🏾 🙏🏾 🫡

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Cole it was definitely amazing to see you try and do your best to get all that fishing line that some ungood fishermen left out for the turtle to get all rapped up in!!! It was as definitely awesome to do that and take away from your fishing time!!! Most others wouldn’t have done the amazing dead that you did!! So amazing Cole!!! I do have to say that you have to be lucky it wasn’t a snapping turtle because I’m pretty sure a snapping turtle wouldn’t have let you get all of the line off them!!! Lol!! I’m pretty sure if there was a turtle with line around him in my state it would have been a snapper for sure!!! Lol!!

[@georgebaker1418]

Cole have you tried the Baby Brush Hog,different colors,they work great in Georgia and Florida,if you haven't tried them,I say it would definitely be worth trying.?

[@kevinstogner9477]

Eastern River Cooter !! ...snicker.

[@mikeholbrook8309]

I thought the first one was a spot. How do u tell the difference between them and largies

[@keithh8471]

Nice Vid!!!

[@CalvinSavells-qq7on]

I always keep finger nail clippers with me in case of a emergency

[@byrongreen2167]

Speak your opinion on this frequently,Cole!!!!❤❤❤Too many truly stupid people own fishing poles (and guns)that have absolutely no clue how to be responsible with their junk……

[@Paul.Casteel]

Nice bass

[@blind_eye_fishing]

I hate to say it but 6th sense isn't the only one with a swinging jig like the axle. To be exact another small company came out with that idea years ago before 6th sense. That company also made a solid hook version with a swinging screw lock. 6th took the idea and modified it to their head designs is all but....I do like the 6th versions better. Only one thing I wished they didn't have such big hooks in some of them lol.

[@perrys5954]

At times in life you can feel like that turtle. "awe heck what could be worse! I am all tangled up and life sucks right now, so bleak! ... awe seriously now I am hooked by a dang fisherman too, I just catch no breaks!!" The moral is hang on there buddy sometimes things can seem to get a little worse before they get a whole lot better. The 'next bad thing' could be just what you needed all along!

[@arthurdirindinjr1792]

For at least the last 30 years of fishing I never go fishing without my 10" curved hemastats a hair popping sharp knife a hook sharpen a set of micro scissors like yours a toe nail clipper and a Leatherman multiplier And lastly about 10 years ago started packing a xtra long disposable butane lighter to melt together any clumps of fishing line I find into a small compact glob so once cooled easily fits in my pocket so I can dispose of it properly When I re-spool my reels I use a propane torch to melt the old line into a glob that no animal can get angled in and put it in with my recycled plastics Only saved one turtle but saved more than a few ducks geese song birds and even on Gosshawke tangled in fishing line and a few goslings that were trapped in place with a hook in the webbing of thier foot and the fishing line was snagged on something Kind of a big PITA trying to get a hook out of the foot of a panicking gosling while mom and dad are alternatively attacking you. Fisherman must realize there is no more deadly to wildlife trash thay can discard than fishing line

[@michaelupchurch3769]

How are the largemouth bass surviving what are they eating are there any shad in the water

[@johnthomas5806]

thanks ...........

[@bzi9935]

I don't understand why it is so hard for some people to not take their line or pick up some line they see. Me and my buddy clean up every spot we hit, even go out at times to recover any of our lures or lures anyone else lost and we pick up, pull down or pull up any line we see.

[@CommonPerson0]

Couples Reservoir where I lived I loved when they drain the lake fishes have no where to go they'll see your bait regardless

[@glenntheplumber4960]

You wonder if the man upstairs sent you that way to help that turtle. He works in mysterious ways.

[@blackvelvet631]

Didn’t watch that video yet but looks great. Also, what do you recommend on a type of snake to get us a pet as a first time snake owner

[@COLE_and_JAY]

I love corn snakes!

[@ranbo9390]

Wonder where the thousands of turtles are going to go now there is no water

[@ulisesjaramillo9019]

You ever gonna make some waterfowl videos?

[@COLE_and_JAY]

Maybe next season!

[@donaldrichards9176]

I was wondering what percentage of living fish do you think made it out when your lake was drained?

[@COLE_and_JAY]

I think less than 5% left the lake. Majority are still in the deep holes and creek channels.

[@Antistasi-dy7ce]

its terrible the lake draining but I wonder if you took a metal detector out there or go mudlarking, rockhounding there may be treasures ..

[@koof1776]

Most people would never fish mud bottom waters~

[@donaldwatson3822]

Probably the stringer you lost

Cypress trees!

[@jefferycullum2710]

Discarding fishing line knots like that has long been a pet peeve of mine and is the reason I stopped going out with some people. Please people, if you see people doing this, say something and if they don't listen at least pick it up and discard it for the good of the wildlife.

[@bulletscreenprinting]

If they would have left the lake alone, all would have been fine. Thank the clowns that drained the lake

[@hilljackoutdoors2808]

Look at you rounding up on those weights. 4.99 pounds does not equal 5 pounds. 😂😂😂

[@jd0257]

Not so serious buddy

[@Paul.Casteel]

People need to throw there trash in the trash can.Lazy people. One fish spot had to be close in area because someone trashed it up.Poor turtle.

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

Hope you washed your hands. Turtles Carry a plethora of diseases.

Would be niceifyou said what effing lake and state you are in at the intro or SOMETIME SOON. SMH

"Solid three and a half pounder" my ass." Why should anyone watch a liar.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

I guess the other one wasn’t a 5 pounder either haha
