My father use to repair fishing reels at a shop called Red Top in Bourne Massachusetts. He cussed all the time about the professional fishermen. They think they own the water and they would try to nickel and dime everyone. They also flip out in anger when neighboring fishermen make too much noise. One of the sneaky tricks they would do to my father, they would bring in a reel to be repaired and later bring it back saying it wasn't working. When my father would take the reel apart he would discover it was not the reel he worked on prior. It would be the same model but a different reel. My father would use different color greases to catch them.
Had a friend who custom painted HO-gauge model railroad locomotives. Ozarkers like to bicker, dicker. Guy agreed to have model painted for $75 ($150 was going rate at the time). Came in 1 day after job was done said he won't pay over 39.98, then left. My friend thought about about it, called him, agreed, come in a week to pick it up. Customer came in 1 week later grinning from ear to ear thinking about the deal only to find out during reveal my friend completely stripped model bare of paint job, left it as is. Told the scammer don't ever come back no 1 needs customers like you. Bicker dicker never came back but did find time to take his newfound el strippo model home, lol.
Hi - I just saw this video; I haven't seen any others of yours. I grew up fishing, and I'll offer my perspective. When I was learning to fish (in the early 1950s), my father really only used bait, so that's what I started with. For striped bass and catfish In the Sacramento/San Joaquin delta, we used pieces of sardines we bought from bait shops. We'd fished for years in a small reservoir that was stocked with hatchery rainbows, and also in some of the small streams in San Mateo County. I dug worms from our yard for trout, and we also used salmon eggs. I regularly read Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, and Field & Stream, and from those I learned about spinners and spoons, and I bought a gold-colored spoon (a 1/8 oz. Rhumba). One day at the reservoir I showed it to my father and told him I wanted to try it. He pooh-poohed the notion, but I put it on anyway; on my first cast, I hooked and caught one of those hatchery rainbows. I enjoyed actively fishing much more than merely passively waiting for a fish to bite the bait that was sitting still. Later I tried fly fishing, and found that more enjoyable still. One aspect of it is that what you feel when playing the fish is only what the fish is doing; there's no weight interfering with the feel. And the fly line doesn't stretch like monofilament, so it's a more direct connection. And the most fun of all is dry fly fishing, where to set the hook, you react not to what you feel, but what you see. Fishing is fun period, and as you progress from bait to hardware to flies, it keeps getting better. That fly fisherman you mentioned didn't behave the way he did because he was a fly fisherman; he behaved that way because that's his personality. He'd be the same individual whether he fished, played tennis, or bowled.
Thank you Mike for figuring out that there is an audience of folks sitting at home who's lives are too involved otherwise or with not the means to travel our amazing Country who would thoroughly enjoy your adventures and having you as our guide!! God Bless You and safe travels 'old friend'!
Mike, First, I want to say that I really enjoy your channel, and all your commentary! It’s very interesting and informative. I’m a fly fisherman, and really appreciated your discussion about fly fishing VS. Lure fishing! You made some great points, which made me understand the perspective of a non fly fisher, I’ve been a snob! Thinking my way of fishing is superior and more sophisticated, and is more difficult etc. However, I now have a better understanding, and have a whole new attitude and acceptance for lure fishing, (bait fishing also). We’re all just outdoors enjoying the beautiful scenery, trying to catch a fish, so how we do it shouldn’t make one better than the other! Thanks for bringing this to my attention and making me seriously think about this issue! Steve
Good day Mike , Its not just fly fisherman ,they do the same thing out on a big lake .Some times I have to laugh at what takes place on the water ..I am enjoying your no talk videos see ya .👍👍✌
Awww the familiar roads of home! I agree with ya Mike on the chain law. Many, many years ago it was more of an option not a mandate. Anyone who drives these passes knows when chains need to be used and most times snow tires are fine. Its a learned art and skill with practice and being raised there comes naturally with experience. I think thru the years with the influx of people movin there from no snow states learning and practicing on these roads mess it up for everyone....like you said it only takes one to mess it up for everyone. Always thought it'd be a good idea to have out of staters movin from no snow states to retest after a snow course class would be beneficial. Yeah...in a perfect world Lol Stay safe Mike! Thanks for letting us ride along. Always look forward to your videos.
Sam Elliott was the other actor in Roadhouse. Great movie! Love the video from Colorado my old stomping ground. No snow here in the Philippines-- retirement!!!!
Sending good vibes with the house. Looking forward to moving out towards Palisade after our youngest graduates from MPHS. Need more gardening in my life! Stay safe!
We fish it all...I have my teenage kids learning fly fishing on several rivers in CO which they really enjoy, but we also do a ton of lure fishing for trout, bass, crappie as well...you are 100% correct on the art of lure fishing...
I enjoy your stores of encounters with difficult people ! Just keep your cool & banter with them ! Hope you carry in case they get enraged with anger ! Keep it between the lines MMM ! Peace !
I was raised in Buena Vista. Worked for Loomis for a bit out of Leadville and ran this I70 route daily. Never envied the tractor trailer drivers in the heavy winter lol.
Happy Valentine's Day to my Fantasy Guy!!!!!! (Today Only)....hehehe The girl is 40 yrs old who used Gorilla Glue and still no knowledge... scary ... Thanks for the ride and the stories that were shared. Peace MMM...
On Sept 30, 1995 I delivered snow making equipment to Vail Ski area just after an 8 inch snow fall. Ski area workers helped me chain up with their chains so I could bring the load to the half way point on the mountain. The road was snowy, muddy, and had a lot of horse manure mixed in. What a stinking mess! The workers teased me about being out of shape because I was sweating and couldn't catch my breath. They told me we were about 10,000 feet elevation! On the way back towards Denver I was stopped at the EB scale because the DOT man could not read the company name thru the mud all over the cab.
Mike I was floored to find out from a friend at the UN that another country had 7 Million deaths because of RONA. Love the video's--KEEP DOING THEM on both of you Channels! Stay safe.
Some fish story to pass the drive time along I-70 on a cloudy day.. Happy Valentine s Day to all! MMM don't forget to take vitamin C . TY.. God bless you
Mike. The worst place I was ever looked down on fishing was in Bennett Springs, Missouri. Not sure if you have been there but it is also camping and a trout hatchery. They have 3 sections. Upper part for fly fishing, middle part for fly or artificial lures, and the lower for bait. Fly and lure fishing can move around from area to area. But not bait. We were always seen as lower class. Didn't matter if you were good with fly and lures. The minute you went bait fishing that was bad. You should give it a try sometime. Nice area, view wise.
Hello Mike glad to see that you're back and doing ok. Was worried about ya when I seen that big accident in Texas. Love the Colorado Rockies too. Drive safe. And Peace. 🙂
If I was King.... EVERY vehicle would have a built in phone and the license plate would be the number to said phone so you could call the SOB in front and ask "WTF ?"
Boy, I would love to walk up on those snooty fly fishermen with my south Georgia cane pole and coffee can full of worms to really set them off! Might black out a tooth or two and smile when they give me the finger! Haha! Dealing with people can be an adventure! Worked at Disney World 27 years in maintenance and ran into some jerks! Just keep smiling when they hate you!!
Did a lot of I-70 West from Denver to Frisco, Breckenridge, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale and Basalt. Once to Aspen, and once to Silt. Used to bring full for 7-11 stores out of Denver. Pretty much everyday from 2001 till 2005. You know Haz Mat aren't allow through Hainsenhower tunnel, so Loveland pass. Oh, you just mentioned Gypsum, I brought jet fuel to the airport, and forgot to mention the 7-11 of Steamboat Spring. To get Steamboat one need to drive through Berthoud pass and Rabbit Ear pass. Some times I needed to chain up twice.
That's the attitude of many people, "your just a truck driver". I drove OTR flatbed for 5 years and it's a tough damn job. If a non-trucker would think about it and realize that while they have to deal with the traffic and nutty drivers on their commute to and from work a truck driver deals with that on a full time basis, Not to mention the weather and road condition issues and the problems that go along with getting in and out of large cities and dealing with DOT, scales, logbooks and government regulations. You spend an enormous amount of time away from home, family, friends and pets so that the goods that everyone wants and needs in Walmart, Safeway and Home Depot are there when they are needed. I hauled a variety of cargo but primarily it was construction material. Pipe, concrete, bricks, roofing, steel and rebar. Truckers haul everything that keeps America growing and prospering so all you four wheelers out there keep that in mind and give them a break. And all you truckers driver responsibly and safely and set the example for how to keep the roads safe for everyone. Share the road and share the lakes and streams!!!
I've gotten in to a few verbal matches with fly-fishing guys and it didn't end well for them or me I fish by myself anymore. Anyways thanks for the ride alone . Be safe out there in America folks
Glue girl. Yeah her, you can’t fix stupid. So don’t even try.😀. I fish both ways. I find regular fishermen bother fly fishers more than the other way round.just sayin’. Stay safe 🍻🌲
Hi Mike! Congrats on the house!! A fly fisherman doesn’t think it’s real fishing if you use a lure. Lol. I wouldn’t know but that’s what I’ve heard. I never got the hang of fly fishing. I’m more of a hunter. Have a great day! And love your snowy videos ❤️
Love to hear you talking about fishing. I do a lot of stream rather than lake. I own two poles. One spinning and one bait caster. I do better with my spinning rod. I use goldfish or spinning lures. On average how often do go. I saw the video with you and some of your family fishing at Granby Lake. Good luck in the future.
Are there any Pete's an KW's at Quality , or just Volvo's? New 579 and T680 with improved aerodynamics and digital dash would be worth of consideration.
Sir I'm really enjoying with your tracking videos. . It's really awesome ! Next time if you don't mind i need you to talk about how can I find the easy way to get the CDL and which please is the best for living in the states ! I was working with the USA Army in Iraq as an interpreter ! now I waiting for the last interview with the ICMC in Turkey since 2017 ..i have been waiting in Turkey since 2014 as a refugee with my wife and kids ..anyway I was an ambulance driver back home and I'm so interesting to be a truck driver in the states when I came over ..so please if you make one of your videos about that I'll be grateful ..god bless you and your family. . And hope you safety !
anywhere out there to go ice fishing through the ice Mike. just wondering. huts and trucks been on the lake here since new year's l'm in eastern ontario half way between Toronto and Ottawa. lol.😂 a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work!
As far as that McDonalds lawsuit, the truth is a little more complicated then people usually realize. The 79 year old woman who spilled the coffee in her lap had serious 3rd degree burns over something like 5% of her body that required skin grafts and a week in the hospital, then another month of convalescence in her home where her daughter had to take care of her. Initially they asked McDonalds for $20,000, most of which was her medical expenses and a few thousand was her daughters lost wages from that month where she had to take care of her mother, but McDonalds offered $800 and wouldn't negotiate, so they sued. During the trial it came out that McDonalds was keeping their coffee more than 20 degrees hotter than other food establishments, and that they had settled about 700 lawsuits over the years for serious burn injuries, meaning they knew that the temperature was potentially dangerous. They also knew that lowering the temperature by 10 degrees would give people something like 10 extra seconds to clear the scalding liquid from their skin before it caused permanent injury and lower the number of serious burn injuries by nearly half, but their bean counters had determined it was cheaper to settle the occasional lawsuit than lower the coffee temperature or even issue a warning to customers other than "it might burn the roof of your mouth". So McDonalds was doing something they knew was dangerous, was outside normal industry practice, and couldn't be bothered to change it because it was cheaper to dare people to sue them than lose some of their coffee sales; kind of exactly the behavior that lawsuits are meant to try and change for the common good. Also, although the jury did award her a settlement of about 3 million, the judge immediately lowered that to $600,000 and she ended up settling for an undisclosed smaller amount in the end, so she didn't exactly get rich off the lawsuit. You might know all that and still think the lawsuit was stupid and frivolous, which is totally fine, but like I said, a lot of people haven't hear the whole story about it. So if you didn't know, now you know.
Just to let you know, last night on our local news here in the UK, it showed a clip of a Pickup Truck coming of the highway got to a bend near the top, there was heavy snow on the roads, he slid hit the wall and went over it and dropped about 20 to 30ft he landed on the hard shoulder, many stopped to assist him and luckily he walk away from with minor injuries, this was the 13/2/21 time on out news was 17.50pm, he was a youngest man, be safe everyone.
Hey Mike, just getting these videos watched. Really hate it when work gets in the way. We keep lookin for the chickn. See ya, maybe in a new truck now that you've got this one broke in.
I've had guys snub me because I used a level wind for Steel-Head and a couple days later I show up with a Center-Pin and they thought I could walk on water with them (same fishin hole, same old farts) and wouldnt stop gabbing.
@@omegaseamaster1550 Its the same in any genre of hobby Bob. I ran a photography group where there were the usual guys with their ££££ equipment when the new 16Yr old girl shows up with a phone camera and blows them outa the water. They then bitched about camera phones rather than facing the fact that its not the equipment which brings success but the conviction and heart in freestyling.
#45 Yup, they closed I-70 on me, too! My RV is high and light, 11,500 lbs. I tried I-80 and they closed it, too! Waited out the weather in Sinclair, Wm. across from the Police Station. Happy Valentine Day, Mike.
I hooked a carp in the gill at a spillway once. Only fish I ever caught. I wanted to throw it back. No way would I eat a carp. My father took it home and ate it. Yuk! Lol Did you get your wipers fixed? Beautiful scenery.
Hi Mike: great video today. I don’t think fly fishermen have any animosity toward lure fishermen? I do both and like you I don’t bait fish. I find the best time to fish is when the waters still cold. Had my best day one Christmas Eve at Inn of the mountain Gods next week the lake froze over. Glad you were able to make a deal on the property you wanted. Good luck with that. It’s snowing here in El Paso today don’t like the snow but we need the moisture. Keep safe and we’ll catch you next trip. Edward
I've been using your videos to fall a sleep for a long time. Set the timer for 30 minutes and it works every time.
Same here lol when I get off from my 12 hours on night shift I listen to his videos and helps me sleep lol
Yea me too, but the only problem is when he yells PEACE ! at the end i fall out of bed !
@@tomgray6123 haha
Ramble all you want. Love your stories!!
I never get tired of that view...beautiful. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦❤️👍

I love the video. Husband used to be a pupeliner. Spent a little time out that way. Sure miss it.
it's always worth recording a driving through glenwood. I'm almost always driving so I miss the scenery
Ok Mike! Beautiful mountains images ! Tank you !
Mike I was floored to find out from a friend at the UN that another country had 7 Million deaths because of RONA. Love the video's--KEEP DOING THEM on both of you Channels! Stay safe.
Riding shotgun: What a beautiful drive. I could only wish to do that at the right time. Awesome Vail.🗻❄🗻❄
Today in Denver it's -9 degrees. In the mountains it's in the 20's and 30's. Usually never happens like this.
Most beautiful Valentines ride! Love it.
Some fish story to pass the drive time along I-70 on a cloudy day.. Happy Valentine s Day to all! MMM don't forget to take vitamin C . TY.. God bless you
He needs to take Vit D too! Not too much Vit. C, too many side effects!
That was funny. Nice ride along peace!!!

I enjoy your channel: Since you do a lot of fishing, I wonder if you have ever done any gold panning
Even the fly fisherman hate each other when nobody else is looking.....
Hello Mike glad to see that you're back and doing ok. Was worried about ya when I seen that big accident in Texas. Love the Colorado Rockies too. Drive safe. And Peace. 🙂
Great trip and great company. Stay safe.
Used to fish with my husband and sons. Beautiful memories.

Special shout out to the single guys sending a social distance hug.
Have a great day
Be safe
Boy, I would love to walk up on those snooty fly fishermen with my south Georgia cane pole and coffee can full of worms to really set them off! Might black out a tooth or two and smile when they give me the finger! Haha! Dealing with people can be an adventure! Worked at Disney World 27 years in maintenance and ran into some jerks! Just keep smiling when they hate you!!
Did a lot of I-70 West from Denver to Frisco, Breckenridge, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale and Basalt. Once to Aspen, and once to Silt. Used to bring full for 7-11 stores out of Denver. Pretty much everyday from 2001 till 2005. You know Haz Mat aren't allow through Hainsenhower tunnel, so Loveland pass.

Be safe out there in America folks
On the wind on I-80, I've been across it many times in cars and got blown around. It can howl up there across Wyoming.
Good afternoon love riding on trips.
The way you treat your vehicle effects the reliability.
You sound like the guy fishing on WESSON OUTDOORS. You both agree. Enjoyed your video
Glue girl. Yeah her, you can’t fix stupid. So don’t even try.😀. I fish both ways. I find regular fishermen bother fly fishers more than the other way round.just sayin’. Stay safe 🍻🌲
Thank you so much for charin those vew ok
Elier Serrano,
It's all right...we know what you're Trying to say ...
I used to live in those Apartments to the right and fish there as well. Minturn exit you mentioned at 26:41
Karlı dağların içinde her zaman çok güzel yolculuk olur. Görüntüler süper

The guides are us.
Love the videos, please don't change

As far as that McDonalds lawsuit, the truth is a little more complicated then people usually realize. The 79 year old woman who spilled the coffee in her lap had serious 3rd degree burns over something like 5% of her body that required skin grafts and a week in the hospital, then another month of convalescence in her home where her daughter had to take care of her. Initially they asked McDonalds for $20,000, most of which was her medical expenses and a few thousand was her daughters lost wages from that month where she had to take care of her mother, but McDonalds offered $800 and wouldn't negotiate, so they sued. During the trial it came out that McDonalds was keeping their coffee more than 20 degrees hotter than other food establishments, and that they had settled about 700 lawsuits over the years for serious burn injuries, meaning they knew that the temperature was potentially dangerous. They also knew that lowering the temperature by 10 degrees would give people something like 10 extra seconds to clear the scalding liquid from their skin before it caused permanent injury and lower the number of serious burn injuries by nearly half, but their bean counters had determined it was cheaper to settle the occasional lawsuit than lower the coffee temperature or even issue a warning to customers other than "it might burn the roof of your mouth". So McDonalds was doing something they knew was dangerous, was outside normal industry practice, and couldn't be bothered to change it because it was cheaper to dare people to sue them than lose some of their coffee sales; kind of exactly the behavior that lawsuits are meant to try and change for the common good. Also, although the jury did award her a settlement of about 3 million, the judge immediately lowered that to $600,000 and she ended up settling for an undisclosed smaller amount in the end, so she didn't exactly get rich off the lawsuit. You might know all that and still think the lawsuit was stupid and frivolous, which is totally fine, but like I said, a lot of people haven't hear the whole story about it. So if you didn't know, now you know.
Is very beautiful up there man Danm
Just to let you know, last night on our local news here in the UK, it showed a clip of a Pickup Truck coming of the highway got to a bend near the top, there was heavy snow on the roads, he slid hit the wall and went over it and dropped about 20 to 30ft he landed on the hard shoulder, many stopped to assist him and luckily he walk away from with minor injuries, this was the 13/2/21 time on out news was 17.50pm, he was a youngest man, be safe everyone.
that happened in Texas on a high overpass interchange area
@@harleyhawk7959 It was just on the local news, did you see it aswell.
Hey Mike, just getting these videos watched. Really hate it when work gets in the way. We keep lookin for the chickn. See ya, maybe in a new truck now that you've got this one broke in.
Good morning enjoy the ride
Fly fisherman look down on lure fishermen because the lure fishermen are bent down picking up fish. Keep on trucking....
I've had guys snub me because I used a level wind for Steel-Head and a couple days later I show up with a Center-Pin and they thought I could walk on water with them (same fishin hole, same old farts) and wouldnt stop gabbing.
@@omegaseamaster1550 Its the same in any genre of hobby Bob. I ran a photography group where there were the usual guys with their ££££ equipment when the new 16Yr old girl shows up with a phone camera and blows them outa the water. They then bitched about camera phones rather than facing the fact that its not the equipment which brings success but the conviction and heart in freestyling.
Hey Mike. It's 2021 now not 2020????
#45 Yup, they closed I-70 on me, too! My RV is high and light, 11,500 lbs. I tried I-80 and they closed it, too! Waited out the weather in Sinclair, Wm. across from the Police Station. Happy Valentine Day, Mike.
I hooked a carp in the gill at a spillway once. Only fish I ever caught. I wanted to throw it back. No way would I eat a carp. My father took it home and ate it. Yuk! Lol
Did you get your wipers fixed?
Beautiful scenery.
Wermer Danler,
I'm not a praying man, but i sure the Hell hope you never take up hunting ...
@@fjb4932 I don't know what that has to do with anything but I have never and will never go hunting so rest at ease. Lol
"And you are just a shipping receiving clerk"😊
Hi Mike: great video today. I don’t think fly fishermen have any animosity toward lure fishermen? I do both and like you I don’t bait fish. I find the best time to fish is when the waters still cold. Had my best day one Christmas Eve at Inn of the mountain Gods next week the lake froze over. Glad you were able to make a deal on the property you wanted. Good luck with that. It’s snowing here in El Paso today don’t like the snow but we need the moisture. Keep safe and we’ll catch you next trip. Edward
Love the doorbell story.......😂😂😂
Alls I know is you got me missin my fishin.
I keep my pole in my trunk.(fishin pole that is)🥴
