Hey brother..been a fan of your channel for a few years now I'm just not a big commenter. But I can tell you I have the same issues you have with youtube. It's just part of it and it is frustrating. Pleas don't let it discourage you because you're content is great and very valuable to us subscribers..keep up the great work brother.
RUclips is the ultimate roller coaster! it drives us crazy mentally! stay strong and stay true to who you are! Don't try to make a video! go film your life! all your fans would love to hang out... go show them your world and keep a smile on your face! Good Luck Amigo!
Never commented before. An old, retired biologist and part time cowpuncher that lives above 7000 feet. I love your videos and am looking forward to the new ones, whichever way you go as long as they're outdoors related. Your videos warm me internally, even when it's below zero outside. You can come and yarn by my fire anytime.
Sir, you are a good, honest, genuine person. For your family and business do not be shy about sponsors. It is not selling out. It helps you provide the entertainment for us. I bass fishing in Texas 2-3 days a week. I do not have the money do duck hunt or bay fishing any longer. I am fortunate that I can live it via your eyes. Not some arrogant showman. You are real. Keep it going. Heck, I would watch you fry an egg on hot concrete. You would make us laugh. Best of 2025 sir.
Jared You're the very best at explaining how and why you do what you do we went to st Bernard on vacation this year because of watching you and pelican bone and we had a blast and caught loads of crabs so thank you for that I would have never visited Louisiana if I hadn't found your videos your step by step video on how to come to st Bernard and where and how to fish was a big help and everyone was very nice and helpful we will be back
Thank you for everything you do. I spent the last year battling breast cancer and spent a lot of time inside. My husband & I found your channel and got great enjoyment in watching your videos. It took me from my easy chair in NYC to the great outdoors of St. Bernard Parish. I wish you the best of luck in 2025. We're headed to New Orleans in February and who knows, maybe we'll take a day trip & be lucky enough for our paths to cross. Is your wife interested in doing outdoor stuff? Maybe having her join you will get more women interested in your channel. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to more great content in the coming year.
Happy New Year, Jared. I'm one of those viewers who pretty much watches every one of your videos. Sure, there are some that I like more than others, but overall I love your content and I think my primary reason for it is that I physically can't do what you do. What I'd give to come to LA and fish/crab/shrimp like you do, but not being able to do that makes your videos fun, entertaining, and informative. I don't claim to know your analytics and I am no longer a RUclips creator (former life) but one thing I can tell you is that based on the comments I read throughout your posts, the video's that get some of the most questions and comments are the ones where you're providing information on how to do everything you do on your channels. When you go to other areas and visit other creators, and local stuff like stores, events, cooks, etc., it's lettng people into a whole world they may not have known existed. You are already somewhat an unofficial travel host to people who might make that next trip because of something they saw on your channel. I hope that when your new chapter begins, that is high on your list of things to include. I hope your 2025 is amazing, and I wish you and your channel the best. I hope to see you around for years to come.
Man I’ve been subscribed for some time now and whenever you go fishing or hunting it’s always a great video. And it’ll still be a great video if you’re doing it somewhere else along the coast. I say go for it brotha. Just make sure you take us on the adventure with you!
Jared I always like your videos and have been subscribed for a year or so. I’m 78 years old and watch you tube everyday. I prefer the 15 to 30 minute videos if they are more than 45 minutes I rarely watch them. Keep the good videos coming and I hope you have the best year ever.
Jared, I may not comment many times on your videos but I am definitely one of "your people." I love your content. No matter the subject, you keep it completely real and show how much you love what you are doing. I hope you can continue to grow with the format you have established. Maybe a few more collaborations with the likes of Deer Meat for Dinner, Blue Gabe, Joe VT fishing, etc., could help build the brand once people get to see how amazing your channel is. I hope you have an amazing 2024 and beyond. I look forward to where you take the channel and will continue to support no matter what.
We watch all your videos, being from Chalmette,you bring back many good memories. Happy New Year, keep making and we will keep watching. God bless you and your family
I personally love everything you do!!!! The best part is you aren't a rich snotty spoiled rotten brat. You work hard like I think most of your viewers do. Keep it up and we'll be watching!
Hello Jared, I'm not a big commenter but am going to say Hi and a few comments. I'm a native Cajun boy born down in Lafourche Parish but have lived out West a long time. There's no storm surge up in my mountains at 7,000'. I first started watching to see you out fishin, crabbin, crawfishin, shrimpin and all the things I miss doing. I've never been duck hunting but may some day. I liked the come to St Bernard videos and before you expand to the Gulf Coast hit all the Parishes in La. with things to do and places to go. Your collabs with other Tubers are great too. So keep it up Bruh.
Your videos are some of the best. Keep going, don't get discouraged. I share every single video you put out. I have seen the same challenges on my website. Just gonna keep on keeping on. Wishing you the best in 2025.
Love the videos. A lot of this is YT have seen a lot of other YT makers complain about the same thing especially outdoors channels. You are one of the best.
Jared that was from your heart. I’ve been watching for little over a year and all your videos are interesting to me. I love your videos. Keep putting them out and I’ll keep watching them.
I've watched your channel for over a year now, and I can personally say I did get tired of the road side ditch videos, and it shunned me away for a few months. But I recently watched the duck camp video, and now am back looking for new content. I think keeping an open variety of outdoor activities, no matter what, is great content for viewers who want to but just can't get outside. I'm digging the new ideas, and look forward to see what you have for 2025! Good luck, and God bless!
Thanks for keeping the viewers involved with your content. I would like to see management videos of how they (DWF) are stewarding the resources in the marsh. Collaborating with others to see local history about events and people that had a impact on local culture. Uncle Wimpy telling "Good olé Days" stories. Local duck call makers, Mom & Pop restraints and local attractions. Keep up the good work and dont let the trend to do shorts hurt your channel.
Really appreciate the show today. Recently saw another RUclipsr who sort of did the same type of analysis of their show, etc. I really enjoyed the St. Bernard series and for me this was the best. Could be I used to live in St. Bernard and many of you shows brought back so many great memories. The roadside series was top notch as well. Both were real winners for me. For 2025 I'm sure you will find a new approach that will resonate well with the views. Possibly a show now and then from more varied locations in Louisiana that are sort off all the beaten path that are not being talked about very often Whatever you decide I will be a continuing frequent viewer. I'm located in the FL. Panhandle. Incidentally, what I do like in other fishing shows are those that go into techniques, tackle, etc. and actually show what they are talking about. Too many shows are just fishing and catching and very little sharing
JS, you can do no wrong IMO. I like and will watch/like most anything you put out. This was probably the most honest video I’ve ever watched. Kudos to you, I know that wasn’t easy. Kudos as well for facing the ups and down and talking about it. Most people, myself included, have a hard time truly communicating about the real stuff in life. I loved the St Bernard travel type videos, anything invasive being removed, fishing, crabbing, etc. We all need a break and get burnt out, take things for granted, etc. Hey, you saw it, talked about it and asked for help, again, not everyone can do that. I say, do all the sponsored videos you can, you have a family and if someone wants to pay you that’s a great thing! You’re no sell-out, this is your livelihood! Take a deep breath, you’re a good dude, you’re creative & smart, it will all work out. Ironically, Kelly Young just put out a video about one of her shorts going viral and how it hurt her channel. You might want to check that out. Be well and God bless. Thank you!
I've been a fan since the day I found your channel. I can't imagine the struggles you deal with making videos people will watch. I'm in for the long haul, so there's no need to worry about this customer!
Honestly don't think I've ever watched one of your videos I didn't enjoy. Living up here in NW Louisiana I love seeing the marshes and the coast. Looking forward to what 2025 opens up to you. Keep on doing what you enjoy! Happy New Year!
I found out about your youtube channel through Daniel Arms at Arms family homestead and I am so glad that he told us about your videos because i really enjoyed watching all of your videos and as long as you can keep putting them out I will continue watching them Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
I love watching all of your videos no matter what the content. All of them are very interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you outside the levees one day. I hunt and fish in the St Benard area so I am in those areas from time to time.
I was worried you were ending the channel. I grew up in Louisiana but live in Alabama. You bring a little of home to me with each video. I am from the Gonzales/Baton Rouge area.
Jared, I really like your content. I like that it’s different and not the same thing over and over again. I like to see all the different things that are out there to do in the outdoors that I don’t get to necessarily do where I live in the mountains of North Carolina. Maybe some of the drop off of viewership is just the time of year I know for me, we’ve been planning a wedding along with Christmas and so I haven’t had much time to watch my normal RUclips content. I would say it’s nothing to do with you but just people schedules. I have noticed whenever I search for a particular thing on RUclips it’s like that’s what it starts feeding me instead of my channels I’m subscribed to. Happy new year. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m gonna keep watching.
Hey Jared I have been watching you for about 2 yrs now and enjoy every video you put out. 2024 was rough but you are a Great Example hard work. Keep up the amazing videos. By the way I live up north in upstate NY and do a lot of ice fishing heard you might looking to do some. If you come up this way ever I can hook you up too some great ice fishing. Have a wonderful New Year.
I stumbled on your channel about a month ago…Since then I have probably watched 20 episodes…I love your content and promotion of all things Louisiana, all things outdoors…It would not bother me if you branched out to other states as I know your content will be entertaining and informative…Keep up the great work and if I get ideas for new content, I will suggest them to you…👋
Love the channel and I especially enjoy your fishing from the bank as unfortunately, I do not own a boat, but still want to go fishing and because of you, I have been able to take my son crabbing at Delacroix Pier, which I did not know anything about. Keep up the good work!
I watch most of your videos but never comment.. Well I'm commeting now and saying I really enjoy your content especially when you go to one of those cook offs or showing how the inside of a shrimp boat.. very educational and fun to watch !
Jared, I hardly ever comment on videos but here goes. As I watched your video I thought about what I like about other channels I watch. I guess a common theme is the host having interactions with other people "buddies" that they interact with and having fun. Sometimes it's just their interaction with the pet dog (mascot). Keep after the house boat ideas. Take heart, You are not the only youtuber talking about algirythem (sp) problems.
I've been watching for a few years but I never comment. Your early vids made me want to go drive from northern AR to south LA and bank fish, chase crabs and, throw net shrimp. I followed along with the guided fishing trips, house boat camps, and gator hunts out of curiosity knowing I would never do something like that myself. But I lost interest as the cooking segments became drudgery for you. I felt what you were experiencing as a viewer. I wanted cajun recipes, not just something thrown together at the end. Honestly, I'd still watch you bream fish in a ditch or run crawfish traps in a pond. AS LONG AS YOU ARE ENJOYING IT TOO. I have a small YT channel and I know what video burn out is. When it becomes a job it can really grind you down. You just make videos for video's sake. I hope you regain the joy of Outside The Levees in 2025. I recommend getting way of the levees some next year. Make a run to the TX coast, or NC to co-lab with a similar channel. Heck, go to the Rockies and make a few vids up there. We'd love to see a flatlander out of breath grilling elk steaks. We haven't left you and you've already diagnosed the problem. Work the plan in 2025. I'm looking forward to it.
Looking forward to your 2025 videos. I have enjoyed the houseboat shows and all fishing and duck hunting videos. I started watching because I am a fellow Go-Devil owner (1660) and wanted to see the 1860 FNR in action. Keep up the good work!
Jared I am one of those that watch all of your content. For me going forward I wish to see content on your gear, especially your mud boat, your cooking gear, your fishing gear. Please continue with your content on cooking. I love dogs especially the hunters and I invite more video on Coco, how you acquired him, how you trained or had him trained. I love the duck hunting videos so I differ from others in that regard. I love the fishing videos so please continue those. I think your idea of places to visit is spot on so please do this. Please continue with the roadside fishing videos. I wish you success because I identify with you. I miss my home state but you keep me grounded.
I just love watching your videos and all the RUclipsrs from Louisiana. It made me miss home. Since I had to drive a truck for a living and y'all are doing the things I used to do it takes me back to the good old days.
Jared, I am a longtime viewer of your channel watch all of your videos, even went back and watched all the ones that you made before us become a subscriber. The ones that are really like are the crabbing the rabbit hunting and the catfish but buddy I’ll watch everyone of them and don’t miss any and will continue to do so, I think you do a great job. Keep your head up and keep doing what you do. I will keep watching.
I enjoy your content and I also just moved to South Louisiana to the north shore. Keep doing what you enjoy doing and your fans will enjoy that. Everyone that watches RUclips knows a channel needs sponsors to survive.
Great video man! I think every RUclips creator has faced what you’re talking about it. I know i experienced a burnout also this fall, and it was really tough to keep producing videos. Definitely makes you appreciate when times are good and ideas come easy. Hang in there, and keep going!
I enjoy your videos. I don't usually watch the compilations because they're too long and I've already seen the shorter ones. I also really enjoy seeing your family fishing and hunting, and Uncle Wimpy's history stories.
Man when I go down to the duck club in Arkansas or the deer club in South Carolina (I am beyond blessed for those opportunities), I’m going INTO my comfort zone. And the trip my buddy and I made chasing the redfish in St Bernard in October was absolutely the icing on the cake for this year. Y’all have a special place down there, wish nothing but success for you brother!👍👍👍👍
Vinnie brought me to find you through his channel. I have now clicked on you as often as Dat Louisiana Life, M Hood fishing and all these characters, personalities , as yourself, draw me everyday to click your video. Mostly it's missing a life I have lived in the 90's. I live in Alabama and in my 60's, you bring me to places I know, and wish to place my feet every day. I longingly live life through you, it's as if I'm there. Thank you, where my heart forever remains in, Belle Chasse. Your but a cupid arrow, that brings happy to my Soul.
Job 1 is coaching the kids. Loved the ones where you would went to the local restaurants and highlighting the locals cause thats what makes St Benard special
I am not exactly sure how your videos ended up in my feed, but I have really enjoyed your videos. I do agree with your analysis that your 2023 videos were stronger than a lot of your 2024 videos, but they are all enjoyable. The roadside ditch videos were always a lot of fun because the are relatable ... "hey I can do that." Keep up the good work. A couple of thoughts. One thing that some of catch and cook videos do is have the family reaction to it. Family involvement is always fun to see. The boys are getting old enough where they get to get into the act.
Mr. Serigné, I look forward to your videos. Especially any videos with Coco. For 2025 I would really like to request one video that is an act of service, sir. From taking a veteran fishing, to taking an elderly person crabbing, to anything like that, that you think is a good plan. Then preparing your catch in the wild and enjoying it together. Thanks for your good work, sir.
I like all that you do in the outdoors. I really like the crabbing shrimping something that you can take your kids to do and not need a lot equipment and stuff to make it a hassle to do.
I appreciate your videos, all of them. I'm an avid outdoorsman in Ohio and I am always trying something new, pushing my limits. Your community involvement is impressive. Keep up the great work.
Lots of love on these comments, YT is doing a lot of other creators wrong. Also your recipes are fire maybe we can get a catch and cook every once in a while (even it's with Vinny 😅).
Jared, you have did a outstanding job covering things related to where you're from in Louisiana. It is time for you to Branch out on the coast and run the coast in time to time back at home in Louisiana. Love the videos. Any of the fishing and the hunting I will watch. That being said, happy New years brother
Jared, just keep doing things your way and be yourself. The content isn’t nearly as entertaining as is your way of presenting the content. It’s just plain fun watching your videos. I’d count that a success !
Dude, Jared just stay chill as you are, I love your catch and cook videos, but also when you visited places and interviewed interesting folks of the area, that was epic, oh and when you have friends along on your adventures that was really cool.
Catch and cook. I'am from New Orleans and watch your show all the time. I live in another state and you bring me back home. Keep it up. Catfish with Pelican Bone.
Jared just be you ,your passion started this channel and it will keep it going. You cannot please everyone, it is an impossible task. Just be you It is your eyes we look thru with each video
Wow! What a great, open and honest video. Love your videos and rarely miss one regardless of content. I would. It be good at utube but appreciate those that are. Most importantly are those creators with heart and sole. You have certainly demonstrated that. Keep them coming! Great channel!❤
You got it dude. Creating is a hard thing and trying to please everyone is difficult. I have always told new creators to make videos they enjoy and the audience will find them eventually. When you try to create just to please people you end up burning out on doing things you don't enjoy. At the end of the day I enjoy making my videos and enjoy interacting with those who do as well. Great stuff man. Happy New Year.
Keep doing what you are doing. You take me out when my health doesn’t let me. Love the cooking what you catch on site. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching
Ever since I first saw the channel, Thanks to Robert Arrington, I've loved it. I probably haven't seen every video, but I do plan to eventually catch up. Love to see the variety. The family houseboat is fantastic. Camping can be great. Cooking always works, at home and in the wild. Travel works, especially since I'd love to learn areas past Florida for future travel. Long comment short, love the content, please keep it up.
I've enjoyed most of your videos. The ones at the camp lately have been some of my favorites. In 2025 you may want to reach out to some of the other Louisiana content creators. One in particular that I watch new content every Sunday is Dat Louisiana Life. Keith and Tara have done a great job with their channel and have recently exceeded 100k subscribers. They have done videos with other Louisiana creators and I think they've been mutually beneficial. Good luck in 2025. Looking forward to some new content.
Love your show man, don't stop doing what you're doing Man, this Warren G, from Charlotte NC, I'll always watch your videos, even when you commented on the election, you're a really good person, keep doing what you're doing, God bless ❤
Jared I have really enjoyed your videos and feedback no matter how many subscribers you have you have did a little of everything and I have enjoyed them all your one of the best I pray 2025 bring more to your life and family especially the videos you have done a great job as long as I know so I wish better things for you so Happy New Year To You And Your Family 🔥💯♥️👍🏽🥳
Lived in south Louisiana for 11 years wish I would have known you back then. Found this channel almost a year after moving back to the Midwest. Loved the outdoors down there.
Hey man i absolutely love all your videos!! I did actually co e across you page because of the 2 hr videos you put out of the crabbing, catfishing and for sure my favorites the roadside crawfish and shrimpin ones! I really hope you continue to put out videos about what you love to do and not focus on what you think the masses want to see. Ill continue to follow and support you and the channel..
Hey Jared, as you know, I watch all your videos because I like you! I love the camp videos, which you had stopped. I guess you do you, and you will see what works? Going to the restaurants was cool, but if that is over, then maybe have cooking with Uncle Wimpy, which is always fun🌞. Happy New Year 🎆🎇. JO JO IN VT 💞☃️
Love the different videos you put out been a minute but I’m back to watching again as I changed jobs and travel a lot more so I don’t get to watch or listen while I work very much anymore.
Keep it up, Jared. I love your videos and will continue to support you and your efforts m. Love the CCC and roadside catches, FYI. I prefer the fishing, crabbing and shrimping but watch them all.
Jared I feel like we have become great friends though your channel. We both have the same likes with the outdoors and sharing your life with us. God bless and have a safe and Happy New Year!
Don’t change what you’re doing. You put out some awesome content. You keep changing things up and that keeps people interested, or at least it keeps me interested. I love how it’s not the same ole thing.
I’m not a hunter but I watch a lot of your videos. I like the crabbing and local connections you have to your community. Something peaceful about watching you stand in the rain and drop a net.
Keep up the good work. I second the teaching young people or new people to the sport. It's enjoyable to learn new methods and new places to go hunting fish not just paying someone to take you fishing or hunting. Do more instructional on where to go and what to look for when you're out hunting and fishing and how to find places from Shore or Public Access. Keep up the good work and happy hunting and fishing and camping this year. Kris
Oh my! I have been trying to switch from Facebook to RUclips. I am going back to Facebook. It’s easier to comment on and keep up with the shows. I love your videos. I saw you first with Daniel Arms. I try to watch all of them. Hunting is my least favorite. Best of luck in 2025. Hope you have a great year. ❤ thanks for this show!
Jared, I am one of the people that watch know matter what you put out. I am also one that does not comment all the time. I love anything that has anything to do with fishing, crabing and hunting and most of all family. I love New Orleans and the area all around Pontchartrain and all the areas up and down the Mississippi River. I love hereing anything about the historys of places you go. The only part of your videos that I do not care for lately is the cooking at the end. I could tell something had changed in you and so I would skip that part of your videos. One of these days I will make it to St. Bernard Parish to check out the sights and sounds and the history surrounding it. Sorry I am a talker too or a typer for sure. I can't wait to see what 2025 bring to you and your family. So I hope you have a Happy New Year!!
Love watching your channel. I love blue crabs so I enjoy you catching them. I am huge fan of Grand Isle, Louisiana. I would love for you to do some videos from there.
I had to reply,,,, "Love Blue Crabs". Then you got to watch the new one by 'Key West Waterman'. Something most of us can do, 'cause we're not talking MONEY! ;>)
I enjoy all your content. I live in Louisiana and you’ve taught me alot of stuff I didn’t know about the state I call home. And my family enjoys some of the recipes I’ve picked up from your channel. I watch a lot of golf RUclips and they all do collabs with each other maybe try more of that. I remember episodes with marsh man and deer meat for dinner. Just an idea to help the channels growth. Either way keep up the hard work and it’ll pay off. I’ll be watching whatever you put out!
Hey Jared, I would love some in depth local fishing guidance. You and Pelican Bone really inspired me to get back out crabbing and fishing in 2024, having not done any in the past 10 years. Keep doing what you're doing, love your content.
I visited st Bernard because of your videos in January of 2024 it was huge help to have the information you provided. Maybe look into other tourism promoting like on the state level or other perishes or just for specific buisness like boat rentals, guides, Airbnb, vrbo, or campgrounds.
It's not necessarily what you are doing or not doing. RUclips has undergone so many changes that really seems to have a direct effect on our views and also, a lot of people's viewing habits have changed along with their attention spans thanks to shorts, tictok, ect, which just destroys viewer retention on our videos. The algorithm reacts to that low retention and unfortunately puts the videos on a shelf instead of recommending them to viewers. That's kinda my take on whats going on as a creator myself, and I honestly don't know how to overcome it. I've been doing this for 12.5 years and my views have slipped tremendously over the last several years compared to what they once did. I often think its just people getting tired of my content, but in reality my subs are constantly growing, but the views do not grow which tells me, my videos just aren't being recommended by the algorithm to the extent they once where. Just an old mans perspective. Best of luck to you in 2025. I've always enjoyed your content.
Howdy from Australia, it's almost 1 am wed morning, new year here, happy new year brother, l'm heading to bed and will watch this tomorrow, for me your channel is so educational, wish l could visit your world, maybe someday, see you tomorrow brother.
Hey brother..been a fan of your channel for a few years now I'm just not a big commenter.
But I can tell you I have the same issues you have with youtube. It's just part of it and it is frustrating. Pleas don't let it discourage you because you're content is great and very valuable to us subscribers..keep up the great work brother.
You tell em big mike. We're all fans of both of you.
Dude you had me worried you were stopping the channel. I enjoy it and am glad for another year.
Good luck and happy new year
RUclips is the ultimate roller coaster! it drives us crazy mentally! stay strong and stay true to who you are! Don't try to make a video! go film your life! all your fans would love to hang out... go show them your world and keep a smile on your face! Good Luck Amigo!
great advice, who are you like a youtuber or something lol jus kidding love the channel
Never commented before. An old, retired biologist and part time cowpuncher that lives above 7000 feet. I love your videos and am looking forward to the new ones, whichever way you go as long as they're outdoors related. Your videos warm me internally, even when it's below zero outside. You can come and yarn by my fire anytime.
Sir, you are a good, honest, genuine person. For your family and business do not be shy about sponsors. It is not selling out. It helps you provide the entertainment for us. I bass fishing in Texas 2-3 days a week. I do not have the money do duck hunt or bay fishing any longer. I am fortunate that I can live it via your eyes. Not some arrogant showman. You are real. Keep it going. Heck, I would watch you fry an egg on hot concrete. You would make us laugh. Best of 2025 sir.
Jared You're the very best at explaining how and why you do what you do we went to st Bernard on vacation this year because of watching you and pelican bone and we had a blast and caught loads of crabs so thank you for that I would have never visited Louisiana if I hadn't found your videos your step by step video on how to come to st Bernard and where and how to fish was a big help and everyone was very nice and helpful we will be back
Thank you for everything you do. I spent the last year battling breast cancer and spent a lot of time inside. My husband & I found your channel and got great enjoyment in watching your videos. It took me from my easy chair in NYC to the great outdoors of St. Bernard Parish.
I wish you the best of luck in 2025. We're headed to New Orleans in February and who knows, maybe we'll take a day trip & be lucky enough for our paths to cross.
Is your wife interested in doing outdoor stuff? Maybe having her join you will get more women interested in your channel.
Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to more great content in the coming year.
Keep doing what you're doing and I pray God blesses you with a great 2025 brother!

I hope to see you around for years to come.
I love the videos where you teach the next generation how to fish and hunt. When you're having fun is when the content is best.
Man I’ve been subscribed for some time now and whenever you go fishing or hunting it’s always a great video. And it’ll still be a great video if you’re doing it somewhere else along the coast. I say go for it brotha. Just make sure you take us on the adventure with you!
Jared I always like your videos and have been subscribed for a year or so. I’m 78 years old and watch you tube everyday.
I prefer the 15 to 30 minute videos if they are more than 45 minutes I rarely watch them.
Keep the good videos coming and I hope you have the best year ever.
Jared, I may not comment many times on your videos but I am definitely one of "your people." I love your content. No matter the subject, you keep it completely real and show how much you love what you are doing. I hope you can continue to grow with the format you have established. Maybe a few more collaborations with the likes of Deer Meat for Dinner, Blue Gabe, Joe VT fishing, etc., could help build the brand once people get to see how amazing your channel is. I hope you have an amazing 2024 and beyond. I look forward to where you take the channel and will continue to support no matter what.
We watch all your videos, being from Chalmette,you bring back many good memories. Happy New Year, keep making and we will keep watching. God bless you and your family
I personally love everything you do!!!! The best part is you aren't a rich snotty spoiled rotten brat. You work hard like I think most of your viewers do. Keep it up and we'll be watching!
What ever you're trying to do or love to do i'll be watching.
Hello Jared, I'm not a big commenter but am going to say Hi and a few comments. I'm a native Cajun boy born down in Lafourche Parish but have lived out West a long time. There's no storm surge up in my mountains at 7,000'. I first started watching to see you out fishin, crabbin, crawfishin, shrimpin and all the things I miss doing. I've never been duck hunting but may some day. I liked the come to St Bernard videos and before you expand to the Gulf Coast hit all the Parishes in La. with things to do and places to go. Your collabs with other Tubers are great too. So keep it up Bruh.
Your videos are some of the best. Keep going, don't get discouraged. I share every single video you put out. I have seen the same challenges on my website. Just gonna keep on keeping on. Wishing you the best in 2025.
Love the videos. A lot of this is YT have seen a lot of other YT makers complain about the same thing especially outdoors channels. You are one of the best.
Jared that was from your heart. I’ve been watching for little over a year and all your videos are interesting to me. I love your videos. Keep putting them out and I’ll keep watching them.
I've watched your channel for over a year now, and I can personally say I did get tired of the road side ditch videos, and it shunned me away for a few months. But I recently watched the duck camp video, and now am back looking for new content. I think keeping an open variety of outdoor activities, no matter what, is great content for viewers who want to but just can't get outside. I'm digging the new ideas, and look forward to see what you have for 2025! Good luck, and God bless!
I'm glad I found your channel and I appreciate what you do. It matters. The roadside episodes were great!
You’re one of the hardest working RUclipsrs out there with an awesome channel! Wish you nothing but the best! Happy New Year my friend!
Thanks for keeping the viewers involved with your content. I would like to see management videos of how they (DWF) are stewarding the resources in the marsh. Collaborating with others to see local history about events and people that had a impact on local culture. Uncle Wimpy telling "Good olé Days" stories. Local duck call makers, Mom & Pop restraints and local attractions. Keep up the good work and dont let the trend to do shorts hurt your channel.
Really appreciate the show today. Recently saw another RUclipsr who sort of did the same type of analysis of their show, etc. I really enjoyed the St. Bernard series and for me this was the best. Could be I used to live in St. Bernard and many of you shows brought back so many great memories. The roadside series was top notch as well. Both were real winners for me. For 2025 I'm sure you will find a new approach that will resonate well with the views. Possibly a show now and then from more varied locations in Louisiana that are sort off all the beaten path that are not being talked about very often Whatever you decide I will be a continuing frequent viewer. I'm located in the FL. Panhandle. Incidentally, what I do like in other fishing shows are those that go into techniques, tackle, etc. and actually show what they are talking about. Too many shows are just fishing and catching and very little sharing
Been watching your videos for a while and they're great, not many RUclipsrs show the true side of living in south Louisiana, keep em coming
JS, you can do no wrong IMO. I like and will watch/like most anything you put out.
This was probably the most honest video I’ve ever watched. Kudos to you, I know that wasn’t easy. Kudos as well for facing the ups and down and talking about it. Most people, myself included, have a hard time truly communicating about the real stuff in life.
I loved the St Bernard travel type videos, anything invasive being removed, fishing, crabbing, etc.
We all need a break and get burnt out, take things for granted, etc. Hey, you saw it, talked about it and asked for help, again, not everyone can do that. I say,
do all the sponsored videos you can, you have a family and if someone wants to pay you that’s a great thing! You’re no sell-out, this is your livelihood!
Take a deep breath, you’re a good dude, you’re creative & smart, it will all work out. Ironically, Kelly Young just put out a video about one of her shorts going viral and how it hurt her channel. You might want to check that out.
Be well and God bless. Thank you!
I've been a fan since the day I found your channel. I can't imagine the struggles you deal with making videos people will watch. I'm in for the long haul, so there's no need to worry about this customer!
Honestly don't think I've ever watched one of your videos I didn't enjoy. Living up here in NW Louisiana I love seeing the marshes and the coast. Looking forward to what 2025 opens up to you. Keep on doing what you enjoy! Happy New Year!
I found out about your youtube channel through Daniel Arms at Arms family homestead and I am so glad that he told us about your videos because i really enjoyed watching all of your videos and as long as you can keep putting them out I will continue watching them
Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
your roadside fishing videos are what made me subscribe to your channel. Keep up the good work.
I love watching all of your videos no matter what the content. All of them are very interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you outside the levees one day. I hunt and fish in the St Benard area so I am in those areas from time to time.
I was worried you were ending the channel. I grew up in Louisiana but live in Alabama. You bring a little of home to me with each video. I am from the Gonzales/Baton Rouge area.
Jared, I really like your content. I like that it’s different and not the same thing over and over again. I like to see all the different things that are out there to do in the outdoors that I don’t get to necessarily do where I live in the mountains of North Carolina. Maybe some of the drop off of viewership is just the time of year I know for me, we’ve been planning a wedding along with Christmas and so I haven’t had much time to watch my normal RUclips content. I would say it’s nothing to do with you but just people schedules. I have noticed whenever I search for a particular thing on RUclips it’s like that’s what it starts feeding me instead of my channels I’m subscribed to. Happy new year. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m gonna keep watching.
Hey Jared I have been watching you for about 2 yrs now and enjoy every video you put out. 2024 was rough but you are a Great Example hard work. Keep up the amazing videos. By the way I live up north in upstate NY and do a lot of ice fishing heard you might looking to do some. If you come up this way ever I can hook you up too some great ice fishing. Have a wonderful New Year.
Yes, me too.. I enjoy watching your channel, but I appreciate your honestly and hope all goes well for your channel in 2025. Thank you
I stumbled on your channel about a month ago…Since then I have probably watched 20 episodes…I love your content and promotion of all things Louisiana, all things outdoors…It would not bother me if you branched out to other states as I know your content will be entertaining and informative…Keep up the great work and if I get ideas for new content, I will suggest them to you…👋
I so thought you were done on RUclips! Always look forward to your videos… keep them coming love it
Love the channel and I especially enjoy your fishing from the bank as unfortunately, I do not own a boat, but still want to go fishing and because of you, I have been able to take my son crabbing at Delacroix Pier, which I did not know anything about. Keep up the good work!
I watch most of your videos but never comment.. Well I'm commeting now and saying I really enjoy your content especially when you go to one of those cook offs or showing how the inside of a shrimp boat.. very educational and fun to watch !
Jared, I hardly ever comment on videos but here goes. As I watched your video I thought about what I like about other channels I watch. I guess a common theme is the host having interactions with other people "buddies" that they interact with and having fun. Sometimes it's just their interaction with the pet dog (mascot). Keep after the house boat ideas. Take heart, You are not the only youtuber talking about algirythem (sp) problems.
I've been watching for a few years but I never comment. Your early vids made me want to go drive from northern AR to south LA and bank fish, chase crabs and, throw net shrimp. I followed along with the guided fishing trips, house boat camps, and gator hunts out of curiosity knowing I would never do something like that myself. But I lost interest as the cooking segments became drudgery for you. I felt what you were experiencing as a viewer. I wanted cajun recipes, not just something thrown together at the end. Honestly, I'd still watch you bream fish in a ditch or run crawfish traps in a pond. AS LONG AS YOU ARE ENJOYING IT TOO. I have a small YT channel and I know what video burn out is. When it becomes a job it can really grind you down. You just make videos for video's sake. I hope you regain the joy of Outside The Levees in 2025. I recommend getting way of the levees some next year. Make a run to the TX coast, or NC to co-lab with a similar channel. Heck, go to the Rockies and make a few vids up there. We'd love to see a flatlander out of breath grilling elk steaks. We haven't left you and you've already diagnosed the problem. Work the plan in 2025. I'm looking forward to it.
Looking forward to your 2025 videos. I have enjoyed the houseboat shows and all fishing and duck hunting videos. I started watching because I am a fellow Go-Devil owner (1660) and wanted to see the 1860 FNR in action. Keep up the good work!
Jared I am one of those that watch all of your content. For me going forward I wish to see content on your gear, especially your mud boat, your cooking gear, your fishing gear. Please continue with your content on cooking. I love dogs especially the hunters and I invite more video on Coco, how you acquired him, how you trained or had him trained. I love the duck hunting videos so I differ from others in that regard. I love the fishing videos so please continue those. I think your idea of places to visit is spot on so please do this. Please continue with the roadside fishing videos. I wish you success because I identify with you. I miss my home state but you keep me grounded.
This Texas loves your videos. I try to make into your coastal area several times a year. Keep doing great work!
I just love watching your videos and all the RUclipsrs from Louisiana. It made me miss home. Since I had to drive a truck for a living and y'all are doing the things I used to do it takes me back to the good old days.
Jared, I am a longtime viewer of your channel watch all of your videos, even went back and watched all the ones that you made before us become a subscriber. The ones that are really like are the crabbing the rabbit hunting and the catfish but buddy I’ll watch everyone of them and don’t miss any and will continue to do so, I think you do a great job. Keep your head up and keep doing what you do. I will keep watching.
I enjoy your content and I also just moved to South Louisiana to the north shore. Keep doing what you enjoy doing and your fans will enjoy that. Everyone that watches RUclips knows a channel needs sponsors to survive.
Great video man! I think every RUclips creator has faced what you’re talking about it. I know i experienced a burnout also this fall, and it was really tough to keep producing videos. Definitely makes you appreciate when times are good and ideas come easy. Hang in there, and keep going!
It's been a blessing Jared, Looking forward to the new year, Happy new years, May God bless You and Yours.
I enjoy your videos. I don't usually watch the compilations because they're too long and I've already seen the shorter ones. I also really enjoy seeing your family fishing and hunting, and Uncle Wimpy's history stories.
Hey buddy, your videos are awesome. 2024 was a great year for videos and here's to 2025. Looking forward to seeing what is coming up in 2025.
Man when I go down to the duck club in Arkansas or the deer club in South Carolina (I am beyond blessed for those opportunities), I’m going INTO my comfort zone.
And the trip my buddy and I made chasing the redfish in St Bernard in October was absolutely the icing on the cake for this year.
Y’all have a special place down there, wish nothing but success for you brother!👍👍👍👍
Vinnie brought me to find you through his channel. I have now clicked on you as often as Dat Louisiana Life, M Hood fishing and all these characters, personalities , as yourself, draw me everyday to click your video.
Mostly it's missing a life I have lived in the 90's. I live in Alabama and in my 60's, you bring me to places I know, and wish to place my feet every day.
I longingly live life through you, it's as if I'm there.
Thank you, where my heart forever remains in, Belle Chasse.
Your but a cupid arrow, that brings happy to my Soul.
Job 1 is coaching the kids. Loved the ones where you would went to the local restaurants and highlighting the locals cause thats what makes St Benard special
I am not exactly sure how your videos ended up in my feed, but I have really enjoyed your videos. I do agree with your analysis that your 2023 videos were stronger than a lot of your 2024 videos, but they are all enjoyable. The roadside ditch videos were always a lot of fun because the are relatable ... "hey I can do that." Keep up the good work.
A couple of thoughts. One thing that some of catch and cook videos do is have the family reaction to it. Family involvement is always fun to see. The boys are getting old enough where they get to get into the act.
Exactly! "Relatable" #1
Mr. Serigné, I look forward to your videos. Especially any videos with Coco. For 2025 I would really like to request one video that is an act of service, sir. From taking a veteran fishing, to taking an elderly person crabbing, to anything like that, that you think is a good plan. Then preparing your catch in the wild and enjoying it together.
Thanks for your good work, sir.
I like all that you do in the outdoors. I really like the crabbing shrimping something that you can take your kids to do and not need a lot equipment and stuff to make it a hassle to do.
I appreciate your videos, all of them. I'm an avid outdoorsman in Ohio and I am always trying something new, pushing my limits. Your community involvement is impressive. Keep up the great work.
Lots of love on these comments, YT is doing a lot of other creators wrong. Also your recipes are fire maybe we can get a catch and cook every once in a while (even it's with Vinny 😅).
Jared, you have did a outstanding job covering things related to where you're from in Louisiana. It is time for you to Branch out on the coast and run the coast in time to time back at home in Louisiana. Love the videos. Any of the fishing and the hunting I will watch. That being said, happy New years brother
Keep the videos coming brother. We with you don't get down. You got great stuff. Happy new year brother.
Jared, just keep doing things your way and be yourself. The content isn’t nearly as entertaining as is your way of presenting the content. It’s just plain fun watching your videos. I’d count that a success !
I love your videos, especially when you fish from the roads. I'm looking forward to going with my kids to LA in 2025 and doing some of that.
Love your content always watching you from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 . All the best for 2025 looking forward to seeing you.
Dude, Jared just stay chill as you are, I love your catch and cook videos, but also when you visited places and interviewed interesting folks of the area, that was epic, oh and when you have friends along on your adventures that was really cool.
Catch and cook. I'am from New Orleans and watch your show all the time. I live in another state and you bring me back home. Keep it up. Catfish with Pelican Bone.
Jared just be you ,your passion started this channel and it will keep it going. You cannot please everyone, it is an impossible task. Just be you It is your eyes we look thru with each video
Wow! What a great, open and honest video. Love your videos and rarely miss one regardless of content. I would. It be good at utube but appreciate those that are. Most importantly are those creators with heart and sole. You have certainly demonstrated that. Keep them coming! Great channel!❤
You got it dude. Creating is a hard thing and trying to please everyone is difficult. I have always told new creators to make videos they enjoy and the audience will find them eventually. When you try to create just to please people you end up burning out on doing things you don't enjoy. At the end of the day I enjoy making my videos and enjoy interacting with those who do as well. Great stuff man. Happy New Year.
Don’t matter what content you post you will always have the weekly views from south Louisiana 🤘🏼 keep on rocking on man love the content!!!
Love your videos, honesty, and passion for the outdoors!! Keep it up brother!
Keep doing what you are doing. You take me out when my health doesn’t let me. Love the cooking what you catch on site. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching
Ever since I first saw the channel, Thanks to Robert Arrington, I've loved it. I probably haven't seen every video, but I do plan to eventually catch up. Love to see the variety. The family houseboat is fantastic. Camping can be great. Cooking always works, at home and in the wild. Travel works, especially since I'd love to learn areas past Florida for future travel. Long comment short, love the content, please keep it up.
We got your back brother!
All the best to you and your family for 2025!
We are with you to the bitter end. You are a good man.
You're a good man trying to make an honest living. You carry on Brother, 2025 is your year. I've been around awhile and love your channel.
I've enjoyed most of your videos. The ones at the camp lately have been some of my favorites. In 2025 you may want to reach out to some of the other Louisiana content creators. One in particular that I watch new content every Sunday is Dat Louisiana Life. Keith and Tara have done a great job with their channel and have recently exceeded 100k subscribers. They have done videos with other Louisiana creators and I think they've been mutually beneficial. Good luck in 2025. Looking forward to some new content.
Love your show man, don't stop doing what you're doing Man, this Warren G, from Charlotte NC, I'll always watch your videos, even when you commented on the election, you're a really good person, keep doing what you're doing, God bless ❤
Jared I have really enjoyed your videos and feedback no matter how many subscribers you have you have did a little of everything and I have enjoyed them all your one of the best I pray 2025 bring more to your life and family especially the videos you have done a great job as long as I know so I wish better things for you so Happy New Year To You And Your Family 🔥💯♥️👍🏽🥳
Lived in south Louisiana for 11 years wish I would have known you back then. Found this channel almost a year after moving back to the Midwest. Loved the outdoors down there.
Hey man i absolutely love all your videos!! I did actually co e across you page because of the 2 hr videos you put out of the crabbing, catfishing and for sure my favorites the roadside crawfish and shrimpin ones! I really hope you continue to put out videos about what you love to do and not focus on what you think the masses want to see. Ill continue to follow and support you and the channel..
It’s a great year when you reach 100k subscribers!! I personally love the variety of your channel.
Yes that was a great milestone it got really challenging after that though
Hey Jared, as you know, I watch all your videos because I like you!
I love the camp videos, which you had stopped.
I guess you do you, and you will see what works?
Going to the restaurants was cool, but if that is over, then
maybe have cooking with Uncle Wimpy, which is always fun🌞.
Happy New Year 🎆🎇.
JO JO IN VT 💞☃️
Love the different videos you put out been a minute but I’m back to watching again as I changed jobs and travel a lot more so I don’t get to watch or listen while I work very much anymore.
Keep it up, Jared. I love your videos and will continue to support you and your efforts m. Love the CCC and roadside catches, FYI. I prefer the fishing, crabbing and shrimping but watch them all.
You make great content. Keep your head up and roll with it podna! Hard job to do that’s for sure
Love the channel, Happy New Year from Tennessee
Jared I feel like we have become great friends though your channel. We both have the same likes with the outdoors and sharing your life with us. God bless and have a safe and Happy New Year!
Don’t change what you’re doing. You put out some awesome content. You keep changing things up and that keeps people interested, or at least it keeps me interested. I love how it’s not the same ole thing.
I’m not a hunter but I watch a lot of your videos. I like the crabbing and local connections you have to your community. Something peaceful about watching you stand in the rain and drop a net.
Keep up the good work.
I second the teaching young people or new people to the sport. It's enjoyable to learn new methods and new places to go hunting fish not just paying someone to take you fishing or hunting.
Do more instructional on where to go and what to look for when you're out hunting and fishing and how to find places from Shore or Public Access. Keep up the good work and happy hunting and fishing and camping this year.
Kris
RIGHT ON!!! Exactly!
Oh my! I have been trying to switch from Facebook to RUclips. I am going back to Facebook. It’s easier to comment on and keep up with the shows. I love your videos. I saw you first with Daniel Arms. I try to watch all of them. Hunting is my least favorite. Best of luck in 2025. Hope you have a great year. ❤ thanks for this show!
Jared, I am one of the people that watch know matter what you put out. I am also one that does not comment all the time. I love anything that has anything to do with fishing, crabing and hunting and most of all family. I love New Orleans and the area all around Pontchartrain and all the areas up and down the Mississippi River. I love hereing anything about the historys of places you go. The only part of your videos that I do not care for lately is the cooking at the end. I could tell something had changed in you and so I would skip that part of your videos. One of these days I will make it to St. Bernard Parish to check out the sights and sounds and the history surrounding it. Sorry I am a talker too or a typer for sure. I can't wait to see what 2025 bring to you and your family. So I hope you have a Happy New Year!!
Love watching your channel. I love blue crabs so I enjoy you catching them. I am huge fan of Grand Isle, Louisiana. I would love for you to do some videos from there.
I had to reply,,,, "Love Blue Crabs". Then you got to watch the new one by 'Key West Waterman'.
Something most of us can do, 'cause we're not talking MONEY! ;>)
I enjoy all your content. I live in Louisiana and you’ve taught me alot of stuff I didn’t know about the state I call home. And my family enjoys some of the recipes I’ve picked up from your channel. I watch a lot of golf RUclips and they all do collabs with each other maybe try more of that. I remember episodes with marsh man and deer meat for dinner. Just an idea to help the channels growth. Either way keep up the hard work and it’ll pay off. I’ll be watching whatever you put out!
Hey Jared, I would love some in depth local fishing guidance. You and Pelican Bone really inspired me to get back out crabbing and fishing in 2024, having not done any in the past 10 years.
Keep doing what you're doing, love your content.
I visited st Bernard because of your videos in January of 2024 it was huge help to have the information you provided. Maybe look into other tourism promoting like on the state level or other perishes or just for specific buisness like boat rentals, guides, Airbnb, vrbo, or campgrounds.
Jarred great videos don’t get burned out!! Go were your heart Leeds you brother!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's not necessarily what you are doing or not doing. RUclips has undergone so many changes that really seems to have a direct effect on our views and also, a lot of people's viewing habits have changed along with their attention spans thanks to shorts, tictok, ect, which just destroys viewer retention on our videos. The algorithm reacts to that low retention and unfortunately puts the videos on a shelf instead of recommending them to viewers. That's kinda my take on whats going on as a creator myself, and I honestly don't know how to overcome it. I've been doing this for 12.5 years and my views have slipped tremendously over the last several years compared to what they once did. I often think its just people getting tired of my content, but in reality my subs are constantly growing, but the views do not grow which tells me, my videos just aren't being recommended by the algorithm to the extent they once where. Just an old mans perspective. Best of luck to you in 2025. I've always enjoyed your content.
Howdy from Australia, it's almost 1 am wed morning, new year here, happy new year brother, l'm heading to bed and will watch this tomorrow, for me your channel is so educational, wish l could visit your world, maybe someday, see you tomorrow brother.
