Love the Mega Man Music!!! Glad you didn’t get a ticket! Planning a trip to Port A soon. Only got to drive 16 hours lol. Awesome content! Keep it coming.
The stripe across the eye makes me think almaco jack, but I'm no authority. I hope those game wardens watch your videos, because you are a testament to what fishermen should be: conservationists first.
That’s a baby greater amberjack. Almacos have wider body and taller fins. Banded rudder have vertical bands when they are younger and blueish tiny. Lesser amber Jack have stripe that stops at the eye
@@TB-xw3vo we catch baby greater AJ's in late spring nearshore near North Padre Island or Port Aransas/ Mustang Island. By fall/ winter it is bar jacks or almacos.
Haha next week on lone star law. Thresher fishing finds out he needs new registration sticker on his boat and must have ID on you at all times while fishing. Man I thought you would of smoked a king in that water.
Sometimes I think fish n game shouldn’t be able to approach or board your vessel unless you show them a open violation like with vehicles on the road. My buddy had his boat basically torn apart by them ones cause they swore we had illegal fish. Again with our warning or anything just approached and boarded us. If cops on the road need probable cause I think they should as well.
Great report Coop! When the warden asked you about your name, I'm not sure if you said Daniel or Samuel. Either way, it ain't Coop lol. One thing though, I would never trust the tides and leave my truck so close to the water while going offshore. You just never know.
I never miss a video Coop, since the nueces bridge days, (wish you still had the video of the kid who caught that gator trout on the bridge and had to walk him to the side to grab him.) the snow video day in cc and catch and cooks. I’ll run into you fishing some time. 👍🏼 none the less great video
I’ve had a few run ins with Texas PWD they have always been nice when I’m out boating (ski/wakeboarding/tow tubing on the lakes) or hunting/fishing inland. If your stuff is in order and you have stamps/tags with you if required or they can look it up it’s usually just a warning.
No doubt we need more of those guys down at the jetties… plus you might be right it could have been a amber Jack or might have been a Almaco Jack hard to tell.
A few years ago, I got an 8wd Argo amphibious with tracks for moose hunting. The primary use was for recovering big game in horrible places in the area of Ontario where we hunt. The first year we took it to the camp, we decided to take advantage of it's capabilities to check out possibilities in the most horrible swamp area where we had all shied away from for years. The trip in was about 8 km from the navigable dry area & took us an hour or two as we checked out possible hunting places. On the way out from camp, we had met our regular "friendly" CO who checked out our licenses, tags, gear & guns...as normal we were clean as a whistle. When we arrived at the far end of the swamp, we decided to get out & have a walk around but when re returned to the Argo, we found the CO stood by the vehicle, plastered in mud & soaking wet. He had followed us in along our path through the swamp with an ATV! We looked at each other & I said to Doug "How the fuck did he get in here"? Doug replied that the CO did not care...if he got stuck he would be able to sat phone the office for a helicopter to lift him out. We were clean as a whistle but he gave me shit because I had left my rifle in the gun boot on the Argo (we only needed one rifle to explore). He gave me some light pressure about gun security but let it go because the bolt & mag were in my pocket. The moral of the story is these guys will turn up ANYWHERE, usually when you don't expect it so plan accordingly & keep your ducks in a row! As a side note, after spending a good decade & a half making our lives tough with random stops, checks & endless interrogation he was forced to retire through ill health. When he handed over to the new CO for our area for the following years, he reportedly gave our group of 14 guys a glowing reference "these guys are pros, they have their shit together with the gear, plans & all the paperwork carefully managed" because he had never given us more than a single ticket for not wearing a helmet in all the years he had been the CO there.
Pure luck Cooper. I've been waiting 30 years for a warden to check my license lol. I feel like I've been paying for nothin. 😁😁. So what...... You forgot the paperwork. Everything was up to date and they were able to look it up. Stay safe.
@ThresherFishing. @9:11. That almost looks like a G-Shock Rangeman. I like your style man. Mine served me well for 4 years and still running. Served me well throughout my time in the Military (U.S. ARMY).
Last week I caught 3 blues Close to Mustang island I think access three. That was my first time ever catching blues. Awesome video. Can’t wait for that day I hook on to a king.
Your blue fish grow huge Here in Australia we call them Tailor most only in the same size that you were catching They are great smoked. And a good source of omega-3 oils .
I don't understand how Game Wardens can demand to see what is in your boat without a warrant. What event took place to warrant a probable cause search. I'm not an anti-police person either, but I don't think they should just be able to randomly search people.
Straight up. Not a big cop fan, but i love me my DNR officers. Ive never run into any of them any where that i found to be unprofessional and not chill. Always wanna know if you got anything and what you used. Cool officers.
For sure! Getting checked out usually means getting the best info, and making new friends. On the other hand, nothing cool about pissing off the game Warden, getting a hefty fine and possibly having your equipment confiscated.
In decades of fishing and hunting I've never had a rude or aggressive gw encounter. They've always been pleasant and talkative. They're also great for getting intel from.
The process to be a game warden is unlike any other police work. I believe a degree wildlife & fishery is needed before even applying. All in all i think game wardens are awesome and very knowledgeable about their job.
Coops you naughty lad! Smacked wrist for you! Got back from London after 2 months last Saturday and altready had 2 days fishing. Had 3 202+ flounder today and 2 redfish of 31" and 42" from jetty. Missed it so much. I need a boat! See if the wife will get me one for my birthday haha Great to see ya out man.
Whoah, what a cool setup you have. I've been thinking about a boat, but the whole boat + trailer + place to store it 8 months has put me off, plus I don't have a truck. This looks like something I could put on a roof rack, and stand up in a corner of the garage in the winter. Do you have any details on your kayak setup/accessories?
Wowowowow they make paddle boards that you can fit outboards on? My pals and I spent like a week making a contraption with our 3D printer to fit an outboard on a paddle board. Things works like a charm
If you are out that far you need to have some small hooks of large wire size and catch those grey triggers for real fine eating. The chomp down like sheepsheads so take care and use about 3-6 inches of wire.
Lol coop said that they need them at the jettys cus he knows not everyone has there licenses and I it will probably cut half the crow lol. I also bet there’s a lot of ppl taking oversized reds to
Props to you for telling them they need to post up at the jetties. Tons of bull reds poached every day. Respect Coop.
As a guy that likes to fish, and has all the documentation with me in whatever state I am in, I appreciate good wardens like this.
Oooh just love me some Nazis asking for papers. Are you one of them Biden commies? Lol
@@sterlingchristopher4680 Doubtful. Probably voted for Zion Don. A boomer-brained bootlicker to be sure.
Congrats on your success. I didn't know you were 100 percent supported by youtube. That is awesome cooper. I'm jealous.
LOL. He will be on RUclips. I hope he watches and subscribes to your channel.
Next week on Lone Star Law- Thresher fishing needs new stickers and the wardens check out the jetty
Hilarious
I was just thinking the same thing lol
I’d be mortified I need to renew my license
Lol fisherman learns how to legally fish too late
Was just about to txt the same thing . Lol
Agreed about needing more game warden patrols on the jetties!
They don't like getting their backsides busted on those rocks. Jetty fishermen are to crazy to let that stop them. I used to be one when younger.
I hate that I get nervous every time I get stopped by a game warden even though I'm doing nothing wrong and have all my documents in order 🙃
It's completely normal since we have such tyrannical dirty law enforcement. 🖕👮
@@mikesanchez5014 yeah, the way they gave him a warning instead of a ticket is really tyrannical. He’s lucky he got out alive
@@nickdombrowski8200 how them boots taste 👅🥾🖕👮😂😂😂😂😂 triggered the first snow flake. 😘😘
That's a completely normal and reasonable reaction when you live in a police state.
@@pakde8002 yes sir.
The real question is WHO THE F IS SAMUEL?!?
🤣🤣🤣

Sickk drone footage coop! Pretty cool of the game wardens to let you off with a warning👍🏽
Thank you for another video, Coop! And thank you for the motivation to upgrade my tank from 22 to 60 gallons
The stripe across the eye makes me think almaco jack, but I'm no authority. I hope those game wardens watch your videos, because you are a testament to what fishermen should be: conservationists first.
Looks right to me. Jacks can be hard to ID, especially since there are so many species.
It's 100% almaco jack
Banded Ruder fish, in the jack family
That’s a baby greater amberjack. Almacos have wider body and taller fins. Banded rudder have vertical bands when they are younger and blueish tiny. Lesser amber Jack have stripe that stops at the eye
@@TB-xw3vo we catch baby greater AJ's in late spring nearshore near North Padre Island or Port Aransas/ Mustang Island. By fall/ winter it is bar jacks or almacos.
That underwater footage though! With the music! Awesome videos as always!
Those game wardens were really nice! I like to see that 😄
All they do Is dig and look for shit like your a criminal. Even when you basically on a surfboard with a motor
@@noway57 highschool dropout aren't ya
@@contaminatedfreshair3286 how does him being right about the police make him a high school dropout?
@@noway57 i don't see your point here. These dude act very nice and respectful to the angler. What else do you want
I want a boat like the game warden has to use for fishing..
Hell, knowing RUclips there’s probably a video on how to make one.
The edit after the game warden encounter really cracked me up. Nice one dude.
Haha next week on lone star law. Thresher fishing finds out he needs new registration sticker on his boat and must have ID on you at all times while fishing. Man I thought you would of smoked a king in that water.
Coop! Got boarded by the po po in my kayak off of P-cola yesterday. They were 100% cool. Had my stuff in order so no issues.

what a neat little boat. I had the same standing grab-bar setup on my J14 growing up
People are sleeping on thresher man the knowledge and how much and big your catching is insane
The megaman 2 music in the middle is what got my sub bro! Memories came flooding back.
I never miss a video Coop, since the nueces bridge days, (wish you still had the video of the kid who caught that gator trout on the bridge and had to walk him to the side to grab him.) the snow video day in cc and catch and cooks. I’ll run into you fishing some time. 👍🏼 none the less great video
I’ll fish with you one day bro! Waiting for the day I catch you on the jetties! 🙌🏼💯
Same same 🔥
Only been a couple times..
Do you guys go all the way to the end? Better luck down there or is it decent all along it?
Love the hype moment after the wardens leave at 6:26 😂
I’ve had a few run ins with Texas PWD they have always been nice when I’m out boating (ski/wakeboarding/tow tubing on the lakes) or hunting/fishing inland. If your stuff is in order and you have stamps/tags with you if required or they can look it up it’s usually just a warning.
Wow... 7-9 miles offshore in a Kayak! You got balls!
We always learn something from your videos and that’s because you are good at your job. Thanks.
Take a lesson from Samuel, be respectful and they will treat you with respect. Good on you!
Even out in the middle of the damn ocean.... the fuzz out there making sure the peasants pay royalties to the oligarchy.
No doubt we need more of those guys down at the jetties… plus you might be right it could have been a amber Jack or might have been a Almaco Jack hard to tell.

lol the old school arcade music was priceless. be safe out there have fun!!!!
Love the video bro. And how you handled it. Cheers .
They could probably tell you've been lifting so they're the ones that got scared.
Dude when the Megaman II music kicks in at 6:50, felt that
That was a juvenile Almaco Jack. Good eating
yes! i was hoping someone commented haha!
Pure luck Cooper. I've been waiting 30 years for a warden to check my license lol. I feel like I've been paying for nothin. 😁😁. So what...... You forgot the paperwork. Everything was up to date and they were able to look it up. Stay safe.
Dude you have your truck.. Cheers to new videos thresher! Keep up the good work!
That's some bad ass tunes you got there. Got to be some 80's video game theme music for sure. Brings back memories. Thanks for that!
great video Sam, Keep it up!
Who’s Sam? Lol
@@wswsparks4542 sounded like he said his first name was Samuel haha
I just sold my Bote Rover w 9.8 - it was fun and great for running around . I just needed a little bigger . I highly recommend the bote
the algorithm brought me here, that camera shot from the line made me subscribe, super cool!

Love the beard coop, keep grinding King
Awesome video Coop. Besides all the humorous jokes on here , I still believe you are the best fisherman on RUclips. Be Safe Brother.
My dude, take a pic of your license so if you forget or don’t pack your wallet, you’ll have ID
When he asked for ID, you should have pulled the old "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" lol
Edit: Also, I dig the Megaman music
❤️❤️❤️😂
Dude yes megaman holy smokes I knew I knew it Haha!
nah... foreal 😂😂😂
ID? Tell em yer going to vote!
Last week I caught 3 blues Close to Mustang island I think access three. That was my first time ever catching blues. Awesome video. Can’t wait for that day I hook on to a king.

Those were the nicest game woodens I've ever encountered
nice as can be while violating your constitutional rights...
that music that started underwater got me pumped
That X3 was pretty sweet looking.
Wow that cam view is insane. Never seen that before my god what an idea that is.
You got SOOO lucky with those guys. Very nice and professional dudes
I agree. They could have took his boat and everything attached to it.
How did he get lucky?
Samuel! Professionally handled Thresher. 👌🏼
Game Warden:
“Are we going to be on RUclips?
Samuel:
“Haha depends if I catch anything.” 😂
love the music choices, keep up the great content!

Wait, I assumed you had another job. This is full time? Living the life.

I’m late to this but that last fish you caught before going back close to shore is a Blue Runner. Correct me if I’m wrong
You should try a GoPro 9 with the max lens mod that always keeps your horizon up for the underwater line shots! Always enjoy your content!
You always have good music on your videos especially the runescape songs
Wow, those game wardens were extremely professional. That's nice to see.
That's actually a very sad statement if you think about it.

Looks like a little Almaco jack but not sure if they’re in our waters
Wish I could drive out on the beach like that here in Florida! Used to do it all the time out in montauk. Best way to fish/launch
Too many sea turtle nests were destroyed that way on the gulf. You can in north west Florida like Daytona or St Augustine.

What was Ranger Rick's warning?
Best choice in 8 bit mega man music. Thats my ringtone lol

That Mega Man Music 🔥 glad the Game Wardens cut you some slack. Surprisingly I ran into a Game Warden at Packery a few weeks ago.
Dude you are a corpus christi celebrity. Lol will you sign my tackle box 🤣. Great video love the music

Riding dirty on the water.. yeah bro you're on a new level.
Lol coop said that they need them at the jettys cus he knows not everyone has there licenses and I it will probably cut half the crow lol. I also bet there’s a lot of ppl taking oversized reds to
Looked like an Almaco with that stripe across the eye.
Great video sir!
Beautiful song man 👍🏼
DNR had a cool damn boat. Shallow Sport X3?
Feel your pain brother... lesson learned even if you make a xerox copy of your ID..just throw it all in a ziploc and your covered.
First thing I do is make like 10 copies. Lol
It’s a banded rudder fish it’s similar to amberjack ! Good eating
(Boat starts floating away bc the waves)
GW: STOP RESISTING!
