Beautiful river.
Excellent piece reminding us Floridians that preservation is priority one.
Beautiful river. This has inspired me to try and get there to fish it one day. I've experienced the FL saltwater fishery as well as Okeechobee but have never fished one of the clear spring-fed streams.
I was alarmed that Meredith ( the professional fisher woman ) does not know NOT to extend the jaw in a downward fashion on a bass, in particular, that this most likely injures the fish's jaw if you plan on releasing the fish !! We as informed fishermen have got to continue to spread this news !
Otherwise .... A great video !
In reply to Mr. Hornbrook, you need to realize that these fishermen and ladies are practicing environmentalists and conservationists. They don’t want the gators to choke on the life jackets!
What about the Bluenose Shiners?
Here we have two people standing up in a boat without lifejackets on a riverwith alligators. Really dumb of our DNR wouldn't you think?
I don`t have an idea where your from or where you live, but if it was here, you wouldn`t have made that comment. When people grow up here, they are not afraid of alligator`s and usually are champion swimmer`s. I have lived here for over fifty year`s and maybe heard of two that have drowned. Both were a dare devil teen`s jumped from a bridge and an alcohol related drowning. About alligator`s, they know how to avoid them. They will not bother you, unless you bother them. I raised three son`s and two daughters here, they swim in all the lakes and river`s. When you are raised in this area, you toughen up and become acclimated to it all. A wonderful place to raise your children. I now have five grown grand children and three great grand. None have been in jail or prison and still enjoy the outdoors of Jackson County. By the way, nothing DUMB about DNR.
My comment has nothing to do with alligators. To be safe boaters must wear life jackets at all times and stand up only when the boat is stopped. I have lived & boated here for over 40 years so I am familiar with the rules of safe boating. BTW, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission records an average of about seven alligator attacks every year. Fatal alligator attacks do not happen often, though a dozen or more bites are recorded a year. (Reported in 2016). So, why take a chance? Standing up in a moving boat in any waterway is still very DUMB!
I grew up swimming with gators, never bothered us, they hadn't learned yet we could be food, we never fed them so they didn't associate us with food. Only you had to wear shoes to swim because of all the crabs in the river.
Gators!! where it is a clear spring filled river, gators do not live in clear water, they like murky heavy planted areas. Really dumb to say they are there you think?
Thanks for saying that. The Only Dumb things is to miss out on a "River Life"
