For anyone fishing down that way. Please do not throw back Jags, Mayans, Oscars. Or any other invasive fish like snakeheads and stuff. I promise you they will not go to waste. We need to fix our Everglades and save them.
Same i was wondering if those oscars and bass he was pointing out were native. Those are some mean, aggressive fish. I wonder what actual damage they do@paulkinder6053
It's too late to save our planet. Researchers/scientists have now realized that earth is past the point of no return 😢. We can't fix what we've done. It's inevitable
The Everglades can be a super dangerous place to be alone! I’m not talking about the wildlife! I lived in captiva and would take trips to the east coat at all times of day but especially at late night gators ,deer, snakes venomous and non venomous and even panthers ! I’ve seen people on the side of the road with no car in sight doing who knows what ! Always pack a .45 and never stop on these roads at night
I’d feel bad for them except they don’t realize working at noon is the worst time to in Florida and they keep showing up for these contractors......I’m still trying to figure the efficiency of working on roads at rush hour instead of the dead of night.....it’s as if they like not being efficient.
1. Working at night can be dangerous 2. Depending in when the road was built, you can add malaria like diseases to the risks, 3. Don’t forget the snakes, tics, and leeches. 4. When I was a kid in Florida in the late 50s and early 60s, a lot of road work was done by chain gangs, who worked from dawn to dark. Basically they were slaves. You don’t want to know how little and how poorly they were fed and kept hydrated. Where we lived I watched these things happen. Saw men collapse with heat prostration. It was awful…never forgot it.
Uh, as an Australian, allow me to assure you that unless it is in danger of collapsing, that is not remotely close to the world's most dangerous fishing bridge. Down here we have bridges hovering over saltwater crocs, sharks, stonefish, bluebottles, blue ring octopus, cone snails, stingrays, sea snakes, land snakes, and many more besides.
Really??? Have you ever heard giant Burmese pythons, anacondas, piranhas, bull sharks, alligators, crocodiles, caymans, rattle snakes, water mocassins and many more in Everglades, Florida??? Now, you heard it! LOL
well. just keep those jumping ants. brown snakes, the funnels webs and such like down there in Aussie land mate.....we have enough dangerous critters from all over the Earth roaming around and eating up our native critters as it is....
Really cool video brother 👍, I love watching stuff like this. Off course we fish these bridges all the time but to be able to see whats actually going on down there is just awesome. Thanks my friend and God bless.
In 1980 I bought a small oscar ( about 11/2 " long ) from Walmart,, put it in a 50 gallon aquarium in my house ,,it got about 9" or so, in 8 years ... He would jump out of the water to get food off my fingers ,, cool fish ...
It is really tragic and horrific what people have done to the Everglades. So many different invasive reptiles, animals, and now fish? The Everglades ecosystem has been decimated, or literally destroyed, and that is beyond tragic! The Burmese Pythons have been able to devour so many of the small animals. Now I used to be a owner of some reptiles. My two Burmese Pythons were tiny when I bought them. They grow pretty quick. And their size can become very intimidating. One of mine was over 10 feet +, and the other was almost 9 feet. One of them decided to strike at me. I learned really quickly that I was not able to handle a snake of that size on my own. Some people in these situations let their snakes go into the wild. That is beyond reckless. I found someone who took them from me. Now finding a home for a 10+ foot snake isn't easy, which is why before people buy one of these large snakes they should have to go through some type of class. Basically a training program. Also once someone does purchase a Burmese Python, or any of the snakes that can exceed 8-10 feet long, a tracking device along with a identification chip should be placed inside the Pythons. That way if one gets "lost" the could find it. Or it a person decides to release the snake into the Everglades they can be identified. This invasion, or invasive species needs to STOP!
That was pretty cool. Have you ever tried magnet fishing? It's fun! Also helps clean up the waters. It's getting pretty popular. I do it with my grandson & he has a blast! We have a lot of fun together!
My mom had a '58 T-Bird convertible and we would make a day trip to Marco Island, top down. We never fished on the way though. We primarily fished salt water. In the 50's and 60's there was nothing there. The Tamiami Trail is a wicked road but so was Alligator Ally when is was first built. Tight lines 🎣and sunshine 😎
Wow watching you fish my old stomping grounds I grew up fishing out there all the way from Miami to Everglades City the real magic happens late at night with a worm on top really enjoyed your video thanks Brant
I’m curious, I don’t have gators where I live. What’s the threat level when you are standing on the bank in muddy water conditions? In my mind I don’t think a person could react fast enough to avoid that sudden surge from the water from an attack. On a zero to ten risk assessment what’s your average gut feeling in that region? Thanks in advance from a North Carolina fella that’s always wanted to fish down there.
Man I love these videos so much. I've always wanted to and still do want to know every time I cast what's under there. Keep up the great videos man we appreciate it! I'm guessing you knew that Gator was there the way you were getting the shot right
Interesting question for you how do you control your GoPro? It was just attached to a single point on your fishing line. Second question on your driving through the Tamiami trail have you seen any large creatures? I did 30 or so years ago
@@M.Campbell the reply that I did earlier is the reason I asked if he saw anything large because it was about 2 o’clock in the morning just passed my headlights. I saw something go across the road and I figured OK just my eyes playing tricks cause that’s a long road and when I got up to where I thought it was, there was a sign like a warning, sign, yellow, and it was, still moving where he hit it it might’ve been a she
Hey bro I’m down in New Orleans and we have a spot called the Bonnicarie spillway you would flip at the amount of firearms and fishing rods that are very expensive. Best part is you can sell them or keep them. And I have caught big stripers large and small mouth if your ever down here check it out i think you would love it
my dad always carried a knife when fishing ,,, you often to have cut fishing lines, some people process the fish before leaving so yeah I knife could be used as tool in fishing and NOT what you thought the knife was used for
My Mom and Dad used to have a condo on Marco. They sold that one and bought one in Naples. Been up and down Alligator Alley several times. I never thought the water was that deep.
I'm a magnet fisher but 'm going to put my Gopro in the water like you do? Do you put it in in a protective case or not? I subscribed as well. Great ideas to make videos interesting!!!
Alligator Alley, drove MIA -NAPLES in 1968 in a new C5500 truck at night. Stopped and picked up 4 alligators (fresh kills) from the road, most were 4-5 footers. Skinned and tanned all, made wallets and belts for gifts, folks loved them. I went back several weeks later with a small boat and poled around. Found a gater nest with younguns, caught several with a net. That was a fun experience.
41 is Tamiami Trail from Dade County. The Alley departs out of Broward County. Both are very cool! Scariest thing to me is running into baby gators. Mama gator can get a bit grumpy!!
@@udrinkit definitely a voice over for sure, but there does seem to be a way to view the footage on your phone while it is recording. That checks out since he was able to stop it from spinning and focusing on the fish
@@AddictOfLearning oh yeah. Of course. This would be very difficult to produce without voice over and editing. A live voice over would risk missing shots that you get in post production.
Great drops as always Brant. Route 41 itself has some amazing pools for go pro drops. My personal favorites are in collier(west side of the peninsula)where you have a bigger influence of brackish water.
When your camera turns slowly & shows the gators, I suddenly felt unsafe as my eyes focused & I realized what they were. Never even donned on me that Florida bridges likely had gators 🐊under them.
Great video Brant Wholey's enjoy the GoPro dropped in the water always makes me think I'm inside an aquarium except for the Gators don't care to mingle
I used to raise the red tiger Oscar’s. They’re pretty smart, funny too. I was able to have a few plecostomus hanging on the sides. He’d give them a chomp or two but nothing serious. Now the Jack Dempsey in another tank would kill anything in the tank. I put a bigger catfish in the tank and overnight they’d be dead by morning
Interesting video. The knife is not necessarily a murder weapon as they do have other uses. Could be accidently dropped by someone fishing. It happens lol At one of the bridges I believe I saw a scull. A animal one. Possibly a small gator? I am not 100% sure as it could be a rock that looks like a scull with 2 eyes and a snout lol
The thing you thought was a microwave looked like a computer tower to me. Same with the thing you joked about being a treasure chest. Probably had some damning evidence on its hard drive so whoever owned it chucked it.
This is so cool..keep up the great work..I wish I had a camera under water when I go to the beach and swim in the ocean..I love to be in the water..but afraid of sharks coming toward me.

Brant, tie a magnet below your Gpro, pick up those murder weapons. Sure miss Cameraman Ron. Was nice when all you guys fished together.
They were brilliant together

New subscriber from the UK. Really enjoying your everglades content. It's the only way I get to see far away places. Great work.
very relaxing. It reminded me of my diving days

Same here. I miss those areas
Wholesome entertainment. That was interesting. Thanks
Very cool, puts into perspective what’s happening underwater, while your trying to figure it out from above. 👍👍😊
Loved the underwater footage. Awesome video..
The expression on fish faces is great - lights are on but nobodies home lol
That's the expression of the typical American teen today.
@bushleaguesociety very true. Thousand yard stare
Fishing line next to toilet? Fishing for crappie?

How do you keep gopro from snagging on roots
Hes looking up at you hoping you would fall in because he looks like hes hungry. Dont mess up! 😳
I could watch these videos all day..❤

I was wondering why the guy that lost the fishing pole didn’t jump into the water to get it. I then watched the GoPro focus in on a gator😂
Really enjoyed hearing you giving commentary on the different things you are seeing with the go pro thanks and I'm scribing
Love these videos. That one piece of debris looked like a desktop PC. Or the case anyway. Thanks for doing these Brant.
Definitely. You can see where the power cable plugs in and the fan.

Gator says I don't eat GoPro's, send down the meat😂😂😅
I just could not go where there are alligators and snakes, I am so freaked out...but enjoyed watching!
It seems like Florida is the best and #1 place to fish 🎣

Best part is you can sell them or keep them. And I have caught big stripers large and small mouth if your ever down here check it out i think you would love it
Beautiful ecosystems. If it wasnt for the gators, I would love to dive those places.
This is so cool! And I can’t believe how easily you catch those fish! 👀
Gator at 16:10 looks like he is thinking if he ( you ) would get a few feet closer I would have lunch !!!!!!!

How the hell are you controlling its direction on a line? What'd I miss?

Definitely cool with the GoPro
To bad you don’t see what it is your shooting
