My rule is, if I can't make a full distance cast, you're too close. Dragging his anchor through the fish would have set me off for sure. I admire your cool headedness.
I’ve been out on my kayak, caught a fish which was witnessed by a boater who then proceeded to motor over and start fishing right next to me, making a bunch of noise in the process. Some people are ridiculous.
When people do that to me I just stare them down until they move. If they refuse to move I’ll put the boat and my bait between them and wherever they were trying to fish.
I hate when a boat decides to speed along without going to a particular area creating large waves this makes kayaking dangerous as a flip is very easy if u do not stop fishing and position your kayaking facing the large wave created by the boat.
Yep its insane some days. Ever wonder why shore guys cast to the middle of the water. And boaters cast to the shore??? I think of random things while fishing hahah
Not all of us boaters are bad. If I’m trolling the shorelines and see someone up ahead fishing from the banks, I close up shop and leave quietly at an idle till I’m a good ways away. I guess since I’ve fished the banks before I have more respect for them.

Hey Brant, I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to use this as a teaching moment, and not just as a call out (which would have been justified too!). I’m not an experienced boater, but we plan to buy our first boat next year. I’ll remember your great advice about “testing the waters”, and hopefully it will keep me from making those kinds of mistakes myself in the future. Plenty of other mistakes I’m sure I will make though, lol... PS congrats on the win!
Your first boat is a huge learning curve but SO worth it! I'm now on my 3rd and biggest boat. You'll get it in time, just remember to be courteous and patient. Because Nobody will be courteous to you! Wait till you have to deal with a busy boat launch on a weekend. Now there's a frigging treat.....

Just stay far away from other ppls boats n also dont go to the boat ramp as rush hr find a ramp no 1 uses entill i get comfy ......or buy a bass rader 10e they r the most bad ass lil boat u can buy
Rule of thumb is to stay as far away as other boats as possible. Usually 70-80 yards if great but you might be able to do more or have to do a little less depending on where you're fishing. If you have to get close to guys obviously fishing, try to go as slow as possible so you don't spook their fish. Also, it's extremely rude to see someone fishing and then set up close to them. They claimed the spot first, so you need to keep moving and find your own. Basically treat others as you would want them to treat you.
Definitely ,The only thing that would have stopped the 4 letters is the little lady in their boat , otherwise I'm Sure it woulda been like WTF Etc Etc Etc Etc Etc Etc Etc,,,,,,,,🤦🏻♂️
U dont ever want to yell and get angry on people in boats in critical situatons that dont know what they are doing. U ll only make it worse and someone can get hurt, especialy if kids are on board. All u should do is help them and afterwards give them a lession of what they did wrong. Ur just fishing after al,l not doing anthing of great value.
Usually here in Tennessee it’s the tournament fisherman that do that to ya! If they see someone catching fish they will run between your boat and the bank! They think they own the water. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even want to go. Very inconsiderate of other fisherman. And dont get me started on the ski boats!🤦🏽♀️
Many years ago, in the ‘70’s, when the bass clubs started becoming popular, people that had not been raised fishing, stormed the lakes, streams and rivers. I was raised by a real fisherman who taught me that you never get anywhere close to someone that was fishing. These ‘new people’ had obviously never been taught any rules of courtesy. They would literally pull up into the middle of your fishing hole, scare the fish with their boat motor and then cast their lines over your line. My temperament was not designed to put up with such nonsense and I finally quit fishing. My final straw was when an idiot blew past us in an attempt to get in front of my Daddy and I where we were fishing a shoreline. He had a big boat and his motor was rooster tailing. Immediately after he passed us he blew past a grandma and her 3 or 4 year old granddaughter who were fishing from a small jonboat. The grandma grabbed the baby with one hand and the edge of her boat with the other because the wake he caused nearly capsized them. We pulled up to their boat to make sure they were alright and saw that both of them were crying. After making sure that they were going to be ok I told my Daddy to pull up next to the jerk’s boat. I was a young state trooper at the time and was pulling my .357 magnum out of my tackle box. Daddy asked me what I intended to do. I told him that I was going to put two rounds in the idiot’s motor, two rounds into through the bottom of his boat and save the last two rounds for the jerk and his buddy in case they wanted to complain about that. Daddy turned his boat around and took us to the other side of the lake saying that I was about to lose my job and wind up in prison if I didn’t calm down. I later found out from my Daddy that the idiot had a house on the lake and would watch him with binoculars. When he figured out where Daddy was heading for, he would jump in his boat to overtake and get ahead of him. That was my last trip fishing for many years. In short, I still believe that tournament fishing destroyed the sport.
That is when, I (had I been a state police officer), would have used my head, & my badge, & would have arrested those idiots for assault, and anything else I could have thought of all of the way up to attempted murder, … (ie the gramma, & her grandkid), … and I would have made sure it would have stuck, all of the way through the courts, or I’d have turned in my badge, & went rogue, all over their behinds, … and if he had been watching your dad with binoculars, you can bet that his intent was aggravated over something that had happened in the past, … and, an asshole, will always be an asshole, just because they want to be that way, … .. .
So you couldn't contact a game warden to report the jerk? You had the grandmother and granddaughter to testify. Your story has many holes and therefore unbelievable. You might get yourself shot there state trooper. Lol
@@randyhoman7631 The jerk was a local ‘rich guy’ and grandma wanted no trouble with that family. Different world back then. I do agree that I should have remained professional and arrested the idiot myself. Seeing that grandmother and granddaughter crying so hard just really got to me. Daddy did the right thing. We made sure the woman and child were safe and he took me away from the situation so I could cool off. Still, I should have handled it better. Even with as many years as I had on the force, I still had bad days and, at times made mistakes. Consider this though. When I was working, my mind was set to be professional and I always treated people as well as they allowed me to. On that day, I was just a regular guy out fishing with his Dad. Although we are taught that we are cops 24/7, we still are just people and can get emotionally involved. That was my downfall that day and Daddy recognized it. As for suggesting that I am a liar, that’s your problem fella.
About a month ago after a long day fishing my Grandpa and I were leaving the side channel and entering the main river, where not even 100 yards down it goes to a minnimum/no wake zone. A massive yacht decided it wanted to ignore any sense of decency, and blew past us at high speed. It literally flung me off the bow of the boat and down into the main area of our tiny boat. You took it amazingly well, and you didnt even get injured. What came out of my mouth literally scared some people nearby.
Grats! Yeah, that kinda scenario gets my goat. It happens everywhere. One day recently I was surf fishing and a woman swam out in front of me. I called her out, she asked what I wanted and told her she was interrupting my fishing. She began to say I was breaking the law by fishing there LOL. I said lets call the cops and see who is breaking the law. FYI interrupting the legal harvesting of fish is illegal in FL.
Happens to me all the time Miles of beach with no one in sight and they want to swim in front of my rod , I’m not moving if I hook you is on you. They clearly see all my rods out.
@@SaltLifeGeo I've been lucky on my boat, rarely do people come up to us while fishing but I fish in areas where seasoned fisherman fish, usually the people know better than to come up on you.
I've had that happen to me several times while surf fishing too. I feel your pain. I get set up at the crack of dawn at Spessard-Holland everytime I go, when NO ONE is around except for other shore fishers. Many times by 10 am I have families deciding to set up their beach equipment next to me, with several swimmers paralleling the beach just beyond my lines. Next time I'll tell them I'm just there trying to recatch the 7 ft blacktip that cut my steel leader last weekend.
We should all keep this in mind whether we're fishing or not - be more considerate of others, be aware of the effect of your actions, and try to be better the next time. Brant, that was a great ending to a crazy day haha!
This is why I keep saying that in order to own and operate a boat there should be a required license that requires a minimum boat handling course and an actual test for a required.
7+ million auto accidents every year in the US, over 40% of which end in injury or fatality, and you’re worried about somebody dinging a boat or bashing some rocks?
He accomplished his goal. He knew exactly what he was doing. You were fishing right where he wanted to be. So he figured if he couldn't be there you wasn't going to be either.
that entered my thoughts too ...until he ran hit boat into the rock line...He would have had to have one helluva anger issue to ruin his boat potentially to run someone off
@@Ava_Orchid shit like that pisses me off so bad . I'm watching it on video and screaming Rrrrrrr lol .need to find a way to shoe people like that off. Shoot a flair gun in there boat maybe 🤔 lmao
I've had this happen to me in a canoe on a river, in the narrow part of an oxbow. They cast at the canoe, all around us, while we just sat there with our rigs up & out and our jaws on our chests for about ten minutes
Congratulations!! I lived in P'cola from 2001-2006, and launched right there at the Naval Air Station. This brings back a lot of memories, as I fished those same places. Good times!
First time viewing your channel and I must say, you seem like a really good dude. The way you handled the situation was marvelous, your explanation was spot on and the fact you took the time to explain to us that the boater had no belligerent intent showed me your objectivity, I am a new subscriber...good job dude. How we need more people like that.
Yea But the Audio was on Mute . Im hopeing he cussed these 2 fools to the next Level. The 2 idiots have no buisness being any where near a swimming pool with a kid , much less a dangerous spot like that.
He shouldve said something. Sometimes you have to call people out on their bs that was insane i wouldve lost it he neaded a peice of your mind they arnt going to learn when you let them walk on you
It is very hard for me to believe he didn't know exactly what he was doing. He had all his poles mounted and ready for use. I think he saw you in his spot he wanted to go to and knew about the tournament.
How to make a feature in a AnglerUpwithBrant TH-cam video: Step 1: Find him and motor up to him. Step 2: Leave your anchor in the truck. Step 3: Get as close as possible and just say "sorry". Instant fame. 😆
I live in Texas. I grew up fishing the Port Aransas area. I see this happen all the time and have had it happen to me countless times. I’ve always voiced my opinion in not so kind words to other boaters that pull up to me within casting distance.
I was sitting here editing and got that notification that Brant’s video is available. 😀That was legit tournament fishing. Boater blows out your spot, break one off on a dock, but still get it done! 👍🏻💪🏆 Congrats, Dude!
@@fishydubsfishing6516 in new Zealand we are not armed for anything other than hunting, but im sure you wouldn't just motor into another anglers casting spot like that guy did lol
0:55 Let's stick with the important business...We were promised that we would open that lunch and see what was in it! Kudos on the calm restraint also, but now we need a separate video to address the mystery lunch.
I am glad that you mentioned that they were probably new boaters and inexperienced. Hopefully they take this as an opportunity to learn and become better boaters/Fishermen
Kayaks appear to be like bicycles. Apparently abuse and disregard by others for even their safety is the normal everyday par for the course for the people in them. It's why I don't use either anymore. People are still idiots on the water, but at least in my boats I have much more of a chance against them than I do getting ran over and killed by a prop in a kayak.
Good attitude when handling the challenge. Nobody enjoys having their spot blown up by another boater, and seeing that he wasn't intentionally being malicious, you sir showed impeccable character. Great video.
Great fishing vid! Can’t get enough of the boat fishing! Keep in mind the giant number of boaters there are these days and that people who drive cars/trucks poorly will also drive a boat poorly.
Some people are too stupid to have any respect. Me and my Dad were pre-fishing for a bass tournament on Lake of the Ozarks in southern Mo. one spring in a small cove. This other boat with 2 guys in it were obviously fishing a tournament that day moved in and basically cut us off from the back end which was kinda rude. Well, they didn't land a single bass, but me and Dad landed 2 bass right in front of them. Mine was 7# and Dad's was 4.5# wish you could have seen the look on their faces when we took pics and put them back in the water. Priceless! It doesn't pay to be rude.
Oh no😩 Of course it 'rains', its Tournament day...(doesn't it always seem to rain on Tournament days). Omg! Omg! Omg! I seriously cant believe that guy😳. You had some serious patience...I would have at least said some very STERN words...and continued several times. Why doesn't your tournaments have the 500ft rule????(I've seem that in other tournaments) I like your pause in video to describe & educate. Your assessment is spot on accurate, but 'I' would have said it directly in THAT moment while still in the boat, to challenge their awareness (lack of awareness). But still - you did good explaining. Ha😀funny analogy about how they were 'stormin the beaches of Normandy'. Keep up the good work and Congrats 👏 👏 on winning.
Sadly I have had EXPERIENCED boaters/fishermen totally ignore my presence on a spot as if I don't count because I am in a kayak. I even had a guy anchor up 15 feet from where I was fishing under a big bridge and start throwing his castnet.
Maaaan!!! Ive been boating for about 6 years now, and still concider myself inexperienced, because ive only been boating in my local waters. Ive learned alot from this video, and i hope that guy and family has as well. Professionalism at its finest, and entertaining as always!!
Happens to me all the time. Weekend warriors from up north have no idea what they’re doing. I see them come in hot like that into the marina all the time. This summer alone, I saw two guys go overboard from hitting the dock coming in hot into the slip. The one guy gets up on the bow for some reason, I assume to tie a rope to the cleat and when it hits the dock he flips off.
@@buddybonbutt7510 And since you ask civilly, I will tell you. It's a personal feeling about fishing. I'm a very competitive person. I played high school and collegiate golf and shot competitive sporting clays among other sports. I just don't like the idea of competing to catch fish or hunt animals, both of which I love to do. But that is a PERSONAL opinion and I understand that. When fishing tournaments are held with an objective "referee" in each boat that weighs and logs each fish which is IMMEDIATELY returned to the water, I'm totally OK with that. What chaps my ass is when these guys keep fish in "live wells" all day, throw them in a bag, drag them up on a stage and weigh them, yank the bigger ones up by the jaw for "hero shots", bag them again and take them to the water and call it "catch and release", it makes me puke. It's big, big money - so nothing's gonna change, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
That's every day here around Biloxi now..common courtesy is GONE on the water..nobody hardly ever slows, and they will come in right on top of you...And if I'm in my kayak, they could care less if the swamp me...and don't even ask about the jetskis...It's unbelievable...
He was paid to give you a visit and he did it like a professional. Don't be fooled...it was their job to play stupid while spooking the fish. The kid was all part of the looking innocent game. 100% premeditated. You can't fix stupid. 😂
Was surf fishing yesterday. On the mouth of an inlet that's a good 150 yards wide. 20-30 yards off the beach, boats buzzed and waked us all day. Watched a lady that was cast netting, about chest deep get buzzed and water flushed over her head. Kayakers got in out lines. At least twice. It was ridiculous. Been fishing there (Edisto Beach, SC) for years. But this behavior has increased substantially over the last few years.
Had a guy slow troll across my spread once. He picked up two of my rigs so I just put the reels in free spool and let him get about 500 yards of line of each. I like to think I shut down both of his outboards. But I didn't hang around to see the aftermath.
While I find the actions of the interfering boat deplorable to say the least, one term I find not quite as abhorrent is “my fish” “our fish”. Those fish aren’t yours till they are in the boat. This comment isn’t justifying they other dude, again POS. But the possessive attitude of fishermen and hunters is removing the essence of pursuit and the skill of landing the fish. Ponder this.
That is like getting in line at McDonalds and saying all burgers are fair game, not if I was there first and my order is in and i paid for my food waiting for it to be served. I can see it on the ready tray in a bag, anyone can just come take it then since its not in my boat? lame comment Matthew Harms. ponder this O_o
@@michaelgarcia4117 , that's a bad analogy. The McDonald's food has been bought and paid for, it's yours because you own it. The fish are not yours until you land them... Now, if I took one out of your reservoir, your analogy would've been good. Take care of yourself and have a nice day.
What he meant was he was at that spot where fish are, that is their spot, unless you are one of those asshat fishermen that come right on top of another fishermen when you see them catch fish. That's a fucked up move if you do that.
I’m that idiot that always drops down to low wake speed whenever I pass a boat at anchor fishing. I just know how it sucks to be anchored fishing and get a wake cycle so I try to be courteous even though I’m far enough away. Just as a comfort thing.
This happens to me constantly. I’m in a kayak and people blow right by me going 20, or they troll by SUPER close. Like, what the hell? I usually don’t anchor, and one time I caught a good size pike and it pulled me away from my spot. RIGHT when someone saw what I caught, they boated over to the exact same spot where I was. I go fishing to get away from people, it’s one of the most annoying things ever. If I’m fishing, I do t want to talk to you, and I don’t want to be near you
I grew up boating on Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories in Canada. You could be hundreds of yards from shore and have a giant rock 2ft under the surface. You never go fast in unfamiliar waters EVER!!! That's how boats sink and people die. Happens up there every year.
Man I'm not an angler, but with the control you show in a very upsetting situation I just had to subscribe to your channel in honor of a gentleman! Oh and your video production is excellent. Carry on brother!
I have dealt with Rude fisherman from semi-remote areas of Canada (they have to run 30 miles from the mainland launch to literally fish 5’ from me) to Florida where they have had to undo my floating boat marker from their prop! I almost always take a photo of their boat and their boat registration numbers but always leave the area. I try to limit what I say (I fish alone most times) to something like “Dude, That’s not cool”. Once in Florida, the person I had taken Fishing was so pissed as multiple boats gathered around us as we were Killin’ It. I had to leave very quickly. My boating partner would have boarded their boats and eliminated all competition! There are tons of times I’ll have guys motor somewhat near my boat and I always say they are welcome to fish wherever they want. I’ll usually stop, set my “Poor Man’s PowerPole”, grab a snack and a pop, chill for about 5 minutes and let them fish. They will usually leave or choose to fish one shoreline or the other. If they stay in the area, I can sometimes see how they are fishing that area and maybe learn something new. Couple of my biggest Muskies have come due to another boat cutting me off as I arrived on a Primary Spot. I’ll move out to a Secondary Location and succeed. Oh, but if you measured my Blood Pressure at these times!!!!
My rule is, if I can't make a full distance cast, you're too close. Dragging his anchor through the fish would have set me off for sure. I admire your cool headedness.
Why would you fish so close to someone ? A full Cast? You must the Idiot driving that boat. But the ripples in the water are Below the actual Rocks .
I’ve been out on my kayak, caught a fish which was witnessed by a boater who then proceeded to motor over and start fishing right next to me, making a bunch of noise in the process. Some people are ridiculous.
Some people should never be allowed to drive a boat
When people do that to me I just stare them down until they move. If they refuse to move I’ll put the boat and my bait between them and wherever they were trying to fish.
That's when I paddle up tie up to them and thank them for inviting me
It happens to me all the time. I just start telling them my whole life story. Most of the time it only takes 15 minutes before they leave.
I hate when a boat decides to speed along without going to a particular area creating large waves this makes kayaking dangerous as a flip is very easy if u do not stop fishing and position your kayaking facing the large wave created by the boat.
I'm a bank Fisherman and this happens to me. They will drive up to me and cast the shoreline. Thanks boaters!.

U dont ever want to yell and get angry on people in boats in critical situatons that dont know what they are doing. U ll only make it worse and someone can get hurt, especialy if kids are on board. All u should do is help them and afterwards give them a lession of what they did wrong. Ur just fishing after al,l not doing anthing of great value.
You're gonna look real funny with that boat sticking out your a$$
Good on you for explaining the situation, calmly, reasonably, and professionally. Keep the vids coming!
Usually here in Tennessee it’s the tournament fisherman that do that to ya! If they see someone catching fish they will run between your boat and the bank! They think they own the water. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even want to go. Very inconsiderate of other fisherman. And dont get me started on the ski boats!🤦🏽♀️
Same in MN
Your breakdown of the situation is unbelievably perfect. Amazing.
Many years ago, in the ‘70’s, when the bass clubs started becoming popular, people that had not been raised fishing, stormed the lakes, streams and rivers. I was raised by a real fisherman who taught me that you never get anywhere close to someone that was fishing. These ‘new people’ had obviously never been taught any rules of courtesy. They would literally pull up into the middle of your fishing hole, scare the fish with their boat motor and then cast their lines over your line. My temperament was not designed to put up with such nonsense and I finally quit fishing. My final straw was when an idiot blew past us in an attempt to get in front of my Daddy and I where we were fishing a shoreline. He had a big boat and his motor was rooster tailing. Immediately after he passed us he blew past a grandma and her 3 or 4 year old granddaughter who were fishing from a small jonboat. The grandma grabbed the baby with one hand and the edge of her boat with the other because the wake he caused nearly capsized them. We pulled up to their boat to make sure they were alright and saw that both of them were crying. After making sure that they were going to be ok I told my Daddy to pull up next to the jerk’s boat. I was a young state trooper at the time and was pulling my .357 magnum out of my tackle box. Daddy asked me what I intended to do. I told him that I was going to put two rounds in the idiot’s motor, two rounds into through the bottom of his boat and save the last two rounds for the jerk and his buddy in case they wanted to complain about that. Daddy turned his boat around and took us to the other side of the lake saying that I was about to lose my job and wind up in prison if I didn’t calm down. I later found out from my Daddy that the idiot had a house on the lake and would watch him with binoculars. When he figured out where Daddy was heading for, he would jump in his boat to overtake and get ahead of him. That was my last trip fishing for many years. In short, I still believe that tournament fishing destroyed the sport.
That is when, I (had I been a state police officer), would have used my head, & my badge, & would have arrested those idiots for assault, and anything else I could have thought of all of the way up to attempted murder, … (ie the gramma, & her grandkid), … and I would have made sure it would have stuck, all of the way through the courts, or I’d have turned in my badge, & went rogue, all over their behinds, … and if he had been watching your dad with binoculars, you can bet that his intent was aggravated over something that had happened in the past, … and, an asshole, will always be an asshole, just because they want to be that way, … .. .
OMG!! they let you be a cop? and your proud of your tough cop actions?? small wonder police have become the storm troopers they are.
I hate to say it but our borders are open...
So you couldn't contact a game warden to report the jerk? You had the grandmother and granddaughter to testify. Your story has many holes and therefore unbelievable. You might get yourself shot there state trooper. Lol
@@randyhoman7631
The jerk was a local ‘rich guy’ and grandma wanted no trouble with that family. Different world back then. I do agree that I should have remained professional and arrested the idiot myself. Seeing that grandmother and granddaughter crying so hard just really got to me. Daddy did the right thing. We made sure the woman and child were safe and he took me away from the situation so I could cool off. Still, I should have handled it better. Even with as many years as I had on the force, I still had bad days and, at times made mistakes. Consider this though. When I was working, my mind was set to be professional and I always treated people as well as they allowed me to. On that day, I was just a regular guy out fishing with his Dad. Although we are taught that we are cops 24/7, we still are just people and can get emotionally involved. That was my downfall that day and Daddy recognized it. As for suggesting that I am a liar, that’s your problem fella.
Great Job Brant & Lance! Congratulations on winning the tournament you guys most definitely deserved it after dealing with those novice boaters!
About a month ago after a long day fishing my Grandpa and I were leaving the side channel and entering the main river, where not even 100 yards down it goes to a minnimum/no wake zone.
A massive yacht decided it wanted to ignore any sense of decency, and blew past us at high speed. It literally flung me off the bow of the boat and down into the main area of our tiny boat.
You took it amazingly well, and you didnt even get injured. What came out of my mouth literally scared some people nearby.
Grats! Yeah, that kinda scenario gets my goat. It happens everywhere. One day recently I was surf fishing and a woman swam out in front of me. I called her out, she asked what I wanted and told her she was interrupting my fishing. She began to say I was breaking the law by fishing there LOL. I said lets call the cops and see who is breaking the law. FYI interrupting the legal harvesting of fish is illegal in FL.
Happens to me all the time
Miles of beach with no one in sight and they want to swim in front of my rod , I’m not moving if I hook you is on you. They clearly see all my rods out.
@@SaltLifeGeo I've been lucky on my boat, rarely do people come up to us while fishing but I fish in areas where seasoned fisherman fish, usually the people know better than to come up on you.
Kkkkaren
@@kosmicpebber2721 :)
I've had that happen to me several times while surf fishing too. I feel your pain. I get set up at the crack of dawn at Spessard-Holland everytime I go, when NO ONE is around except for other shore fishers. Many times by 10 am I have families deciding to set up their beach equipment next to me, with several swimmers paralleling the beach just beyond my lines. Next time I'll tell them I'm just there trying to recatch the 7 ft blacktip that cut my steel leader last weekend.
Get a few buck tails- heavy ones. And sharpen the inside of the hook- the loop of the J. You can use it to cut them off their bait/lure
I like you! LOL!!
We should all keep this in mind whether we're fishing or not - be more considerate of others, be aware of the effect of your actions, and try to be better the next time.
Brant, that was a great ending to a crazy day haha!
This is why I keep saying that in order to own and operate a boat there should be a required license that requires a minimum boat handling course and an actual test for a required.
The government is already too involved in everything. Keep them out of my boat. MAGA!!!!
Yeah too much government.
7+ million auto accidents every year in the US, over 40% of which end in injury or fatality, and you’re worried about somebody dinging a boat or bashing some rocks?
A license to drive a boat does not ensure the operator has any manners or respect.
Here in Canuckistan we do have a mandatory written course. A water course is in the working because socialism breeds stupidity.
He accomplished his goal. He knew exactly what he was doing. You were fishing right where he wanted to be. So he figured if he couldn't be there you wasn't going to be either.
Bahaahaha seems possible.
Exactly what I was thinking. Acting like a total dummy as a cover up for his real motive.
that entered my thoughts too ...until he ran hit boat into the rock line...He would have had to have one helluva anger issue to ruin his boat potentially to run someone off
@@Ava_Orchid shit like that pisses me off so bad . I'm watching it on video and screaming Rrrrrrr lol .need to find a way to shoe people like that off. Shoot a flair gun in there boat maybe 🤔 lmao
The 39 dislikes are inexperienced boaters.
Yes
It may be 39 people who don’t understand what the dislike button represents, I.e.. the bad boater instead of the video content,
vxnova1 it could be that 39 people stumbled upon this video and truly just for whatever reason didn’t like it .
Good thing that TH-cam doesn't distinguish between a thumbs up or down, it just recognizes a hit as a hit as far as the video goes
bruh the girls life at stake 😂😂
Bro “like they’re Storming the beach in Normandy” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣had me dead
I've had this happen to me in a canoe on a river, in the narrow part of an oxbow. They cast at the canoe, all around us, while we just sat there with our rigs up & out and our jaws on our chests for about ten minutes
I can’t believe how calm you were with them, I would’ve been yelling, that’s just ridiculous
I guess you got good karma for keeping calm by winning every category!
@Eazyduzit Or he understands that people don't always know what they're doing.
@@braden17remington85 It wasn't Karma! the Lord seen how peaceful you were with the situation and he rewarded you!
Because your a liberal
@@Madeviets you're*
Congratulations!! I lived in P'cola from 2001-2006, and launched right there at the Naval Air Station. This brings back a lot of memories, as I fished those same places. Good times!
First time viewing your channel and I must say, you seem like a really good dude. The way you handled the situation was marvelous, your explanation was spot on and the fact you took the time to explain to us that the boater had no belligerent intent showed me your objectivity, I am a new subscriber...good job dude. How we need more people like that.
Yea But the Audio was on Mute . Im hopeing he cussed these 2 fools to the next Level. The 2 idiots have no buisness being any where near a swimming pool with a kid , much less a dangerous spot like that.
Thanks for delineating the problems and solutions. As a new boater, this is helpful information.
People have no respect for other drivers on the road,,, what makes you think they’ll have respect for others on the water?? and I’m a CDL driver..
Inexperienced boater here, thanks for the info on how to better have handled that situation.
We've also been doing this our whole life. I think most of these people don't know what they're getting in to. They get overwhelmed and and stressed.
If you don’t say anything to them how are they supposed to learn? Telling us doesn’t solve it.
You’re a good person, I would’ve lost it
He shouldve said something. Sometimes you have to call people out on their bs that was insane i wouldve lost it he neaded a peice of your mind they arnt going to learn when you let them walk on you
You didnt have to swear and cuss them out but you shouldve said something
Great patience, you are someone we all can learn from. Thank you.
I've had people do that to me before during tournaments on Lake Lanier in GA. Mostly kids on ski doos.
I'd love to see them flip over and drown for that
Lake Lanier is a shitshow, and The Killer Clown has anger issues.
It is very hard for me to believe he didn't know exactly what he was doing. He had all his poles mounted and ready for use. I think he saw you in his spot he wanted to go to and knew about the tournament.
I had mailed toadfish and told them i bought their rods due to your reccomendation. I recently got their new two piece , and love it
Appreciate it
How to make a feature in a AnglerUpwithBrant TH-cam video:
Step 1: Find him and motor up to him.
Step 2: Leave your anchor in the truck.
Step 3: Get as close as possible and just say "sorry".
Instant fame. 😆
“Slammed it into neutral”😂😂
Like they say "YOU CAN NOT FIX STUPID"
That happened in Texas, someone would have their ass kicked.
I live in Texas. I grew up fishing the Port Aransas area. I see this happen all the time and have had it happen to me countless times. I’ve always voiced my opinion in not so kind words to other boaters that pull up to me within casting distance.
@@umpatas5468 what happened? Did their hull run up on some bullets?
@Top Dawg Good! Oh, I mean that's terrible....:)
Who?
Louisiana too, but they’d also have boat full of bullet holes and get sunk
They probably came from a crowded part of the country (where rudeness is common and crowding to them is not crowding to most everyone else).
I'd have " clued " him in quickly ! You're a pretty nice guy !!!
Patience is a virtue, these boys had buckets full.
I was sitting here editing and got that notification that Brant’s video is available. 😀That was legit tournament fishing. Boater blows out your spot, break one off on a dock, but still get it done! 👍🏻💪🏆
Congrats, Dude!
👍
This guy would have ended up with a few extra sinkers hitting his boat if this was NJ.
Ok it's not that bad lol
In California he would have bait and a few other things hurled his way in addition to a verbal assault
Yep, even here in coromandel new Zealand, he would have had a hail of lead and abuse his way
@@fishydubsfishing6516 in new Zealand we are not armed for anything other than hunting, but im sure you wouldn't just motor into another anglers casting spot like that guy did lol
0:55 Let's stick with the important business...We were promised that we would open that lunch and see what was in it! Kudos on the calm restraint also, but now we need a separate video to address the mystery lunch.
Ooops
@@AnglerUpTv yeah, what was in that lunch?
@@curtismorgan613 😅😅
Yeah, so now we don’t know if Melody is a rockstar or not
I am glad that you mentioned that they were probably new boaters and inexperienced. Hopefully they take this as an opportunity to learn and become better boaters/Fishermen
this happened to me and some buddies on a flat while kayak fishing and they pulled up just like that and screwed us all up
Kayaks appear to be like bicycles. Apparently abuse and disregard by others for even their safety is the normal everyday par for the course for the people in them. It's why I don't use either anymore. People are still idiots on the water, but at least in my boats I have much more of a chance against them than I do getting ran over and killed by a prop in a kayak.
In Texas, that would be a violation of the Sportsmans Rights Act !!
i really appreciate your calm, passive persuasive demeanor when talking about and to that boat novice. Very good example for others.
Good attitude when handling the challenge. Nobody enjoys having their spot blown up by another boater, and seeing that he wasn't intentionally being malicious, you sir showed impeccable character. Great video.
That’s happened to be before. I told the gentlemen on the boat to have some respect and move and he told me off like it was my fault 😂😂😂
Ha same here
Great fishing vid! Can’t get enough of the boat fishing! Keep in mind the giant number of boaters there are these days and that people who drive cars/trucks poorly will also drive a boat poorly.
5 oz pyramid weights never let me down in that situation
Are u talking about hitting them? Lol
@@yourcommentisinvalid4828 that or their boat... equally as effective
I prefer Sputnik weights they cause more damage
@@raheed2488 good way to get arrested too
Well either way that guy was just making the tournament worse for himself as well
I have had the same issue when getting on striper boils.
Some people are too stupid to have any respect. Me and my Dad were pre-fishing for a bass tournament on Lake of the Ozarks in southern Mo. one spring in a small cove. This other boat with 2 guys in it were obviously fishing a tournament that day moved in and basically cut us off from the back end which was kinda rude. Well, they didn't land a single bass, but me and Dad landed 2 bass right in front of them. Mine was 7# and Dad's was 4.5# wish you could have seen the look on their faces when we took pics and put them back in the water. Priceless! It doesn't pay to be rude.
They even pull right next to decoys when people are duck hunting, from shore to boot...
You: tournament dayy!!!!!
The weather: No
This happened to my cousin once. The other boater got the hell outta there when he saw Norman pull out his .44. He don't play.
Oh no😩
Of course it 'rains', its Tournament day...(doesn't it always seem to rain on Tournament days).
Omg! Omg! Omg! I seriously cant believe that guy😳. You had some serious patience...I would have at least said some very STERN words...and continued several times. Why doesn't your tournaments have the 500ft rule????(I've seem that in other tournaments) I like your pause in video to describe & educate. Your assessment is spot on accurate, but 'I' would have said it directly in THAT moment while still in the boat, to challenge their awareness (lack of awareness). But still - you did good explaining.
Ha😀funny analogy about how they were 'stormin the beaches of Normandy'.
Keep up the good work and Congrats 👏 👏 on winning.
Always check how the current will affect you before you lay your anchor. I’ve learned that lesson multiple times and I hope to never to it again.
Tournament vid! Let’s goooo! One day you, Beach Bum and other smaller fishing youtubers will fish a tournament against the Googan Squad!
Agreed, smaller youtubers over all
We meet again fish general
@@valexiral8151 yes
A lot of you tubers at Sebastian inlet.
They will destroy the googan squad
I don’t know what I would’ve done in that situation, but I’m glad to see how calm you were and use it as a tool to teach others out there... thanks!
Quoting General Honore'
"You can't cure stupid"
Yes you can. It’s called natural selection
Sadly I have had EXPERIENCED boaters/fishermen totally ignore my presence on a spot as if I don't count because I am in a kayak. I even had a guy anchor up 15 feet from where I was fishing under a big bridge and start throwing his castnet.
Ohhhhh guys! This is a toad! Lol
Who comes up with the”cool fisherman” lingo?
I’ve been outta the game too long 🤣🤘🏻
I really hope they got REPORTED for endangering a child.
That's when you stop fishing for the fish and start fishing for the fishermen
Maaaan!!! Ive been boating for about 6 years now, and still concider myself inexperienced, because ive only been boating in my local waters. Ive learned alot from this video, and i hope that guy and family has as well. Professionalism at its finest, and entertaining as always!!
You have alot more patience than me. I would have lost my mind on the dude
Thats exactly what I was thinking
Happens to me all the time. Weekend warriors from up north have no idea what they’re doing. I see them come in hot like that into the marina all the time. This summer alone, I saw two guys go overboard from hitting the dock coming in hot into the slip. The one guy gets up on the bow for some reason, I assume to tie a rope to the cleat and when it hits the dock he flips off.
That was one chaotic day of fishing bro. But you came out on top. Unbelievably.
I ran charters in Destin, for 22 years, on the deck, and as Captain, this used to happen to me all the time!
I hate the concept of “tournament fishing” but agree that this was very rude behavior.
Whys that? Whats bad about tournament fishing? No hate, just wanna hear your perspective
@@buddybonbutt7510 And since you ask civilly, I will tell you. It's a personal feeling about fishing. I'm a very competitive person. I played high school and collegiate golf and shot competitive sporting clays among other sports. I just don't like the idea of competing to catch fish or hunt animals, both of which I love to do. But that is a PERSONAL opinion and I understand that. When fishing tournaments are held with an objective "referee" in each boat that weighs and logs each fish which is IMMEDIATELY returned to the water, I'm totally OK with that. What chaps my ass is when these guys keep fish in "live wells" all day, throw them in a bag, drag them up on a stage and weigh them, yank the bigger ones up by the jaw for "hero shots", bag them again and take them to the water and call it "catch and release", it makes me puke. It's big, big money - so nothing's gonna change, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
@@the45er oh yeah I like on the spot refereeing as well. I thought you meant all kinds of torny fishing
I have not once in my life ever been on a boat , and i could instantly see all the problems those people caused.
That rod rubbing on the concrete was making me cringe every time I could hear it rake down the corners no wonder your rods break
That's every day here around Biloxi now..common courtesy is GONE on the water..nobody hardly ever slows, and they will come in right on top of you...And if I'm in my kayak, they could care less if the swamp me...and don't even ask about the jetskis...It's unbelievable...
He was paid to give you a visit and he did it like a professional. Don't be fooled...it was their job to play stupid while spooking the fish. The kid was all part of the looking innocent game. 100% premeditated. You can't fix stupid. 😂
oh god, seriously dude?
@@kayakuprising5914definitely ⚠️😡 I know more about everything than any being you have met.
Was surf fishing yesterday. On the mouth of an inlet that's a good 150 yards wide. 20-30 yards off the beach, boats buzzed and waked us all day. Watched a lady that was cast netting, about chest deep get buzzed and water flushed over her head. Kayakers got in out lines. At least twice. It was ridiculous. Been fishing there (Edisto Beach, SC) for years. But this behavior has increased substantially over the last few years.
Somebody would have caught a nice hefty spinner bait right upside their blasted head!!! Some real #hagfish kinda shyte!!!
Had a guy slow troll across my spread once. He picked up two of my rigs so I just put the reels in free spool and let him get about 500 yards of line of each. I like to think I shut down both of his outboards. But I didn't hang around to see the aftermath.
It wasn't inexperienced lmao he had his limit and was sabotaging your spot lol. Seen it before.
This happens all the time at Lake of the Ozarks here in Missouri.
Brant: teaching moment
Me: heavy rod, 6oz weight......zoom 😂
Ok lol
" Good gracious ! " It's called being oblivious.
You were way too calm brother. It was time to get knee deep in some yelling and tell him how sorry he was!!!! My opinion
I’m 64 this has been going on for the last 25 years
While I find the actions of the interfering boat deplorable to say the least, one term I find not quite as abhorrent is “my fish” “our fish”. Those fish aren’t yours till they are in the boat. This comment isn’t justifying they other dude, again POS. But the possessive attitude of fishermen and hunters is removing the essence of pursuit and the skill of landing the fish. Ponder this.
That is like getting in line at McDonalds and saying all burgers are fair game, not if I was there first and my order is in and i paid for my food waiting for it to be served. I can see it on the ready tray in a bag, anyone can just come take it then since its not in my boat? lame comment Matthew Harms. ponder this O_o
@@michaelgarcia4117 , that's a bad analogy. The McDonald's food has been bought and paid for, it's yours because you own it.
The fish are not yours until you land them... Now, if I took one out of your reservoir, your analogy would've been good.
Take care of yourself and have a nice day.
What he meant was he was at that spot where fish are, that is their spot, unless you are one of those asshat fishermen that come right on top of another fishermen when you see them catch fish. That's a fucked up move if you do that.
@@johnmurkwater1064 nah it was good you have a bad day imo
God was just trying to teach you patience. Lol
I would have been yelling at those pot lickers long before it got to that point.
Even worse with a bass tournament fisherman. Rides right over your line and say “. We will be gone in a minute. We’re in the middle of a tournament “
over here in oz we callem blowflies..a 10ball sinker strategically placed in their windscreen usually deters them.
I’m that idiot that always drops down to low wake speed whenever I pass a boat at anchor fishing. I just know how it sucks to be anchored fishing and get a wake cycle so I try to be courteous even though I’m far enough away. Just as a comfort thing.
This happens to me constantly. I’m in a kayak and people blow right by me going 20, or they troll by SUPER close. Like, what the hell? I usually don’t anchor, and one time I caught a good size pike and it pulled me away from my spot. RIGHT when someone saw what I caught, they boated over to the exact same spot where I was. I go fishing to get away from people, it’s one of the most annoying things ever. If I’m fishing, I do t want to talk to you, and I don’t want to be near you
I grew up boating on Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories in Canada. You could be hundreds of yards from shore and have a giant rock 2ft under the surface. You never go fast in unfamiliar waters EVER!!! That's how boats sink and people die. Happens up there every year.
Man I'm not an angler, but with the control you show in a very upsetting situation I just had to subscribe to your channel in honor of a gentleman! Oh and your video production is excellent. Carry on brother!
I have dealt with Rude fisherman from semi-remote areas of Canada (they have to run 30 miles from the mainland launch to literally fish 5’ from me) to Florida where they have had to undo my floating boat marker from their prop! I almost always take a photo of their boat and their boat registration numbers but always leave the area. I try to limit what I say (I fish alone most times) to something like “Dude, That’s not cool”.
Once in Florida, the person I had taken Fishing was so pissed as multiple boats gathered around us as we were Killin’ It. I had to leave very quickly. My boating partner would have boarded their boats and eliminated all competition!
There are tons of times I’ll have guys motor somewhat near my boat and I always say they are welcome to fish wherever they want. I’ll usually stop, set my “Poor Man’s PowerPole”, grab a snack and a pop, chill for about 5 minutes and let them fish. They will usually leave or choose to fish one shoreline or the other. If they stay in the area, I can sometimes see how they are fishing that area and maybe learn something new.
Couple of my biggest Muskies have come due to another boat cutting me off as I arrived on a Primary Spot. I’ll move out to a Secondary Location and succeed.
Oh, but if you measured my Blood Pressure at these times!!!!
