Jerry maybe you should get over it and move on. That was definitely not cool at all. Have you ever heard of courtesy. I think if that happened to you. You might not have appreciated it either.
Nothing wrong with sharing your experience. But sometimes people don't get the common courtesy of fishing or hunting but because cole gently mention it in passing I understand and don't want to be that person who may know but doesn't care! Coles an amazing young man
As a kayaker myself, some of you in these comments need better insight on proper boating etiquette, along with USCG law and rule study. Suppose this small feeder creek goes for a few miles beyond the mouth where he was passed by the boater…..do you think the boater should go somewhere else because this guy was fishing in the navigation lane at the mouth?? Let him “claim” the entire creek?? Or should the boater approach at low idle, be courteous and offer to pass with the trolling motor, and continue on up to his favorite fishing area? Fishing in skinny water makes close passing necessary. Try fishing rivers and streams, and lakes during winter drawdown. That’s just part of fishing creeks, streams, and rivers. People pass. At least he didn’t flop down the trolling motor and start casting!!!
I was on fish in a weed bed 10’ from shore during one tournament. A competitor boat saw us and actually cut us off by going between us and the shore, 5’ from us. He had to drive through the weed bed to keep from bottoming out. Obviously, he caught nothing, nor did we after that stunt. People seem to lose their minds when they see someone else catch a fish. I found it easier to cease fishing tournaments rather than deal with the frustrations. You handled it better than I did. You are a gentleman in a sport where there is a shortage of gentlemen.
He should have used his trolling motor to go by, but this is one of the least offensive experiences I've witnessed on the water. It's public water, and he was out there to catch fish too. It's really not his concern whether or not you're in a tournament.
The boater didn't talk rude at all. It is a narrow creek, so passing close is a given. I don't think it was that offensive. But then on the other hand, the main focus of the video was not to bad moth the boater either. Both parties moved on...
@@recreant359please show where there’s ANY USCG laws regarding how CLOSE you are allowed to get to another vessel. With what you’re saying, marinas, small streams, and boat ramps are all illegal.
Creek was 30ft wide?. Bass boat was idling and had to stay in the center channel. He slowed up. What was he supposed to do? Stop and watch you fish? You had miles of that same looking stuff. He didn't know you were on a school till way too late. As far as he knew, you were facing at him, and after he passed, he put trolling motor down and fished water you already fished. I don't know, maybe his crystal ball was broken that day
Cool video!, This is an excellent demonstration on why you repair kayak hulls with plastic welding not "JB Weld" but it was an entertaining video thanks for sharing
That’s a completely different situation. Dropping straight down on a reef that always has multiple boats on it. We weren’t even going to fish close to that guy haha. I had to move out of the way or this guy was going to run over me
Just like driving on the road; you have your reason for being on the road today and so does the other guy. You have your opinion of how the other guy is messing up your day and he has his opinion about you! Your still on the water fishin!!
He may have not seen you. The boater has the right to enter with you catching or not. In any tournament setting you have to think that may happen. There are "X" factors to fishing tournaments. Don't complain and keep fishing. Either way keep making great videos. The fishing pressure across the country is getting worse. We have to find ways to combat those struggles.
While that suks to have happen you still have to remember no one owns the water. Every one has the right to go and fish where they want. Personaly when i see someone fishing a spot i try not to bother them and will move on to a different spot. To me that just common curtisy wich alot of folks seem to lack now days.
Really liked this video!! Yeah, your right, don't be that guy on the water!!! Ive had that happen to me alot and it really really agitates me. But you handled it well. Bravo .
That was one of your most exciting tournament I've seen you in you got me so excited how it was going to turn out but your the MAN you ever quit. Love your videos, Joey.
I fish for crappie and catfish mainly and I keep everything legal to keep. I had caught a nice largemouth while crappie fishing once and threw it in the live well. A bass fisherman seen me and said "hey, aren't you going to throw that bass back?!". I said no, why would I do that? I caught it and I'm going to eat it. Same way with hunting. If I shoot it I'm going to eat it.
Harbor freight sells a $20 “plastic welder” that is basically just a giant soldering iron with different head attachments for shaping the melted plastic. I used it to repair some plastic equipment cases for a friend. I just found an inconspicuous place on the edges of the cases to shave off “donor” plastic to repair, cracks and holes. Anyways, I would definitely try something like that before replacing a $4400 kayak. The iron softens the plastic around the crack, to fuse it together, but adding shavings of the very same plastic to it helps. It’s important that you 1) use the same type of plastic and 2) prep all surfaces with rubbing alcohol and use gloves so that you don’t introduce oil’s that would prevent adhesion or fusion. You might also want to keep a cheap little fountain pump handy that you could hook up to the battery and use like a bilge pump in an emergency.
I have a bag of plastic shaving from when I drilled two holes for my transducer wiring. I hope I never need it but I figure it couldn’t hurt. I also made a keel guard for where his leak is. Seems to be a very vulneralble spot
Did I read right a $4400 kayak?!?!?!?!? I'd buy a boat for that amount of money sheesh. Don't get me wrong I want a kayak to go fishing and the mobility but my end goal is a nice little boat to fish from.
@@joeschmo9838.....I'll take the $4400 for the kayak over a boat. Kayak gets bought once never needs gas or insurance which forever adds to the price of owning a boat. And the kayak reaches places a boat can't go.😂 I've personally pissed off so many boat guys as they sit there watching me catch fish they can't get to (between the shore and a tree line their boat don't fit in and too shallow for them to even try). Another plus is my car still gets 28 mpg hauling my kayak trailer. Try that hauling a heavy bass boat. Go with a quality kayak(name brands like.. Perception, Bonafide, Old Town.....etc....), add a trolling motor, and register it like you have to with a boat anyways......you won't regret it.
yeah man im in the camp where you dont own the river. you dont know if you were gunna get the fish or not before he went through, chill and calm is the way.
Besides, there was actually a study on bass movement done, can't remember where, but it was over a period of like 2 years. Anyway, one of the observations they made was how unaffected bass were by boat traffic. They will move off the spot and return within around 10 minutes or so. After being caught they went right back to the general area they were caught, however, due to suspected stress responses were unlikely to aggressively feed for about 48 hours. Then they would be back to normal behavior. They also found individual bass generally go to the same seasonal spots year over year even when caught in tournaments and dropped miles from that spot. They hung around the drop off for a period of around a month or so if needs were met, but slowly made their way back across the lake and by the next year they were back in their spot.
Enjoyed this one a lot! 4th place after the day you had? Proud of ya, Son. Hey when the vibe is gone it’s gone. Good on ya for trusting your gut and leaving that first spot. Turned out that Dbag did ya a favor. Your boat is still good just fix the hole properly and you’re golden. Great turnaround Cole.
Cole, maybe it's time to invest in a bilge pump. They're not that expensive. And are great for situations like this. I have an 18 foot fishing boat and I always make sure my bilge pump is working before I go out. Don't need to half way submerge my boat because I took on too much water. Yeah, it wasn't very "sportsman" of him to move in there on you like that, but it is public water, so you have to deal with it. I've experienced this from both sides as a tournament fisherman and as a civilian just fishing when tournament boats invaded the space I was fishing. You handled it well. Great video.
I've been a subscriber for quite some time and can't recall if I've commented before. I always enjoy just watching. But I have to say that I really admired the way that you handled your situations in this video. Keep them coming and I'll always be watching. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the support! Everyone that knows me can tell you I’m about as non-confrontational as it gets haha, but this was definitely a very frustrating situation. I was very happy to find that the fish ended up staying put and I was able to fill my limit out in that spot! Take it easy!
I graduated in Old Town, ME. Every boat they make has an index card with all its info and goes into a giant record room. Best of the best. Hard working and prideful. Heart of the town. Patriots.
That's unbelievable with that boater. I always carry a big car wash sponge in my front hatch. Looked like one of those days, but you showed great perseverance and attitude. Thanks for sharing.
If I have to go around you because you have a creek blocked off, and I do so as courteously as this guy did, and you hit me with a damn sponge, you better bring some Gorilla tape and fiberglass repair kit. You’ll hit the wrong mf with that sponge some day, and wish you hadn’t.
Cole; depending on if your boat is plastic or if it’s not, you can take a torch and get a piece of steel red hot and lay it on that cracked area and melt that plastic back together. Basically just get that plastic super tacky and kinda smooth it out with that hot steel. Don’t actually put the torch to the boat though. Hope that helps.
Great job dealing with all of the adversity Cole! I probably would’ve packed it in after the leak issue. Way to persevere! Don’t give up on the yak because of that leak. I’ve patched several kayaks, to include my Old Towne Sportsman. Don’t mess with the liquid welds or soft patches. Other than maybe on the water emergency repairs. Get a plastic weld kit and fix it once and for all. I got my kit from Eco Fishing Shop, but I’m sure you can find elsewhere as well. Comes with everything you need including soldering iron with appropriate spade type tips, the plastic strips to weld cracks and add plastic material back in and mesh to add in for larger holes. Also works to add plastic back over thin spots where it may have been dragged one too many times along the keel. Especially if you don’t have a replaceable keel protector. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more of those tournaments!
Great catching!!! Excellent keeping your cool too. A thought about your emergency re-patch job... and this comes from having been thru the US Navy's Damage Control Training School, Pearl Harbor, HI several times... I believe patching on the OUTSIDE of your hull, where the water pressure is attempting to push upwards and inwards INTO your hull, would result in a more firmly set patch. Just saying... I in fact effected a temporary emergency repair to a rubber canoe, decades ago, with an ordinary piece of bubble gum, which permitted completion of our journey that day. ,
You did the smart thing. People are crazy now with road rage and hate videos everywhere. You did right just keep cool keep fishing and move one. Good job.
People are something else these days..I had a guys lure touch my boat one time after a guy saw me catching fish...Can you imagine casting a lure at someones boat?
I've accidentally done it before when fishing bridges, and boats come through where your tryna shoot sometimes they deserve it when they come up close where people are bank fishing how else they gonna learn their lesson. I've even had them drive through right after I cast and my line hasn't even sunk yet so their trolling motor just rips my rig off.
@@Gstar5150 assholes,some people are rude and deserve what they get...We were on a huge lake with open water everywhere and I was on a school of musky when this guy did it.
@@Gstar5150boats have right of way. Bank fisherman need to know that. However if they come up and fish when your there first that's a d bag move and can be an issue.
The guy with the finest crappie/bass boat ever made and he has to paddle his invertible bubble boat around trying to look like he is having fun with no room, no stability, no speed, geeeeeez, just lay it on the window sill and slam the window on it ! When using anything that needs to stick to your plastic boat , scuff the area so the epoxy has something to hang on to. like 60 grit sandpaper by hand, scratch it in a cross hatch and it will stick.
Flex tape Cole!!! $15 for a roll and it works!! Don’t get me wrong the water proof JB weld is great stuff but after you put it on go over it with a piece of Flex tape!! It works for me and my Jon boat!! 😊
@@dehuizhang188Not everyone is a hardcore fisherman and I doubt the guy on the boat was being malicious. 100% understandable to be frustrated but to fight a guy when he really didn’t do anything wrong is really immature. Cole handled it great I mean I’d probably get frustrated to but you gotta just let them pass and move on with the day.
No way he turned into that creek from a full run because he saw you catch a fish. Secondly, he offered to drop his trolling motor and come by , but you told him to just come on with his outboard. The guy was obviously already heading up the creek beyond where you were fishing. That’s the bad part of fishing in normal navigation routes in skinny water. We deal with lake drawdowns here in winter, where EVERYONE that goes by you is literally within arms reach. You can’t claim an entire feeder creek by fishing at it’s mouth in a kayak. Skinny water fishing.
Oh Cole…..😢 I really feel like if you hadn’t lost the time to boat repairs, driving around the lake, and your kindly bass boat buddy, you could have won that one! Your fishing was impeccable! Good job anyway.
13:25 - I had a 2" gash in the bottom of my Pelican Bass Raider last season, and I was able to fix it with West System 655-8 G/flex Epoxy Adhesive. It's a phenomenal product that I think would work better than JB Weld.
It was good to see all the things that can happen while tournament fishing. I hope you never forget to be better prepared with hydration next time!!! Heat stroke is so serious and not worth it! I enjoyed watching and those fish were pretty nice.
There’s a guy name Stevie night that is a reaction channel and he lost his son a couple months ago. I wish you guys would give him a shout out. It’s a very sad story.
sounds like dude was coming to fish that creek and you were there, im confused were you both fishing a tourney? he shouldnt have stopped right in front of you but it sounds like he thought you were coming out by the way you were facing. idk if anyone did anything malicious here
I grew up fishing Spadra Creek on Lake Dardenelle. Caught my first six pounder there, as well as my first eight pound bass. Lots of fond memories from nearly 50 years ago! Always fun fishing with you, Jay!
Cole there is a product called seal all. It is a great product. It dries clear and super tough you can drill it . I used it on an aluminum boat and it held for the year that I had the boat. You might consider it. Works on steel aluminum plastic glass etc. Hope it helps. Love and Respect.
Cole, kayaks are made from a heat formed plastic which means a home depot bucket it the right type of plastic and the right color to MELT your kayak back together. Use a hot iron bar and a small propane torch and your in business. Good luck.
I'd patch it from the outside, with some fiber glass cloth and resin that way the patch would never fail, cheaper than a new yak, and with two under 3 years old you might feel a little bit of a pinch, now and again.
Yes . Gator patch . Fiberglass reinforced resin patch . They are amazing . I patched a lightbulb sized hole in my yak . They make keel gaurd patches too to protect the keel from getting holes .
Great video! That's the way to stay with it! You came so close to the third place mark. Can't wait to be with you the next time! Loves and hugs to your sweet family. 😊😊 I'm proud of you Cole! Good job. God bless all here.
There have been so many times that people in boats, jet skis, kayaks and even paddle boards have disturbed my fishing when I was in places in my kayak that a boat or jet ski would have to really work at getting into. Being courteous to another fisherman on the water should just be a standard behavior. I have even had boats that seemed like they were attempting to swamp my kayak with their wakes. Come on people, be better than that. This isn't complaining, it is observing how some people can behave poorly. Cole, even though you had some adversity, you worked through it like a champ. You may not have won the tournament, you are winning in life!!! Go home, enjoy your family and get ready to leave some fish with sore lips on the next time out!!
The character you showed under pressure was admirable. You maintained your cool and pulled out a great limit. My guess is the guy in the bass boat caught little or nothing. Keep on doing what you do. God bless!
well deff would not appreciate some dude pulling up on me after he watched me catch a fish especially in a tournament when everything matters but as much as i hate to say it when your fishing on a public lake or body of water you have to deal with that or go home !!sad but true had this happen to me more than once very frustrating but fishermen have little rights!! its like law of the land but think what would be even more frustrating is a hole in the boat having to spend that time just waiting !!
I’ve experienced worse. Boats flying right by kayakers at 30+ mph. This bullshit is pretty regular where I fish. At least this guy slowed down for you.
Hey lad, go to auto parts store, buy black RTV oil and gas resistant, can cure under water as well. That area will never leak again. The tensile strength is far above what our kayaks are made out off. It will last longer than the boat.
I’m not sure what the problem is. He was courteous and even asked if you wanted him to put the trolling motor down to go past. What’s he supposed to do - give you the whole creek? I fish in the Gulf and boats will come from miles away and pull up right next to you if they think you’re on a private reef. It goes with the territory.
Never thought you’d stoop so low with Complaints; get over it & move on…
Was that you in the boat? 🤔
Jerry maybe you should get over it and move on. That was definitely not cool at all. Have you ever heard of courtesy. I think if that happened to you. You might not have appreciated it either.
I bet it was Jerry's a loser

bruh
That guy was pretty polite if you ask me.
I agree. That guy could have been coming in there anyway, he doesn’t know if he was or not.
He did tell him he would lift his motor and troll by and absolutely did the opposite right over his spot 🤣
uuuummmm ACKSHUALLY IM IN A TOURNAMET
@@BoE420 He did say that but Cole said don't worry about it. Little details
That's the beauty of public water.... its open to everyone

It's a old town cheap plastic always be ready to sink I call mine the blue bucket😮
You did the smart thing. People are crazy now with road rage and hate videos everywhere. You did right just keep cool keep fishing and move one. Good job.
That’s what you get when fishing public water. It’s aggravating but just because your fishing that creek doesn’t mean it’s closed to everyone else.
People are something else these days..I had a guys lure touch my boat one time after a guy saw me catching fish...Can you imagine casting a lure at someones boat?
I've accidentally done it before when fishing bridges, and boats come through where your tryna shoot sometimes they deserve it when they come up close where people are bank fishing how else they gonna learn their lesson. I've even had them drive through right after I cast and my line hasn't even sunk yet so their trolling motor just rips my rig off.
@@Gstar5150 assholes,some people are rude and deserve what they get...We were on a huge lake with open water everywhere and I was on a school of musky when this guy did it.
@@Gstar5150boats have right of way. Bank fisherman need to know that. However if they come up and fish when your there first that's a d bag move and can be an issue.
@@Bass_attack7755 yeah exactly they don't have right of way when I'm literally casting directly in front of them, douchebaggery at it's finest.
That's how the Asians fish where I live.
The guy with the finest crappie/bass boat ever made and he has to paddle his invertible bubble boat around trying to look like he is having fun with no room, no stability, no speed, geeeeeez, just lay it on the window sill and slam the window on it ! When using anything that needs to stick to your plastic boat , scuff the area so the epoxy has something to hang on to. like 60 grit sandpaper by hand, scratch it in a cross hatch and it will stick.
Flex tape Cole!!! $15 for a roll and it works!! Don’t get me wrong the water proof JB weld is great stuff but after you put it on go over it with a piece of Flex tape!! It works for me and my Jon boat!! 😊
I admire how Cole handled that. Can’t say I would have been able to do the same. As the old saying goes. Never Give Up
I would of started fighting the boat guy lol😂
Handled what? Some pretty lame whining on his part. Does he own that water?
You wouldnt do sht bud. Youd be all passive aggressive like the loser who runs this channel
@@dehuizhang188Not everyone is a hardcore fisherman and I doubt the guy on the boat was being malicious. 100% understandable to be frustrated but to fight a guy when he really didn’t do anything wrong is really immature. Cole handled it great I mean I’d probably get frustrated to but you gotta just let them pass and move on with the day.
❤keep up the good work my love support and blessings always 🎉
Your video shows the boat coming before you catch that fish..
Nice fishing Cole.
Nice brother
Thanks amigo!!!
No way he turned into that creek from a full run because he saw you catch a fish. Secondly, he offered to drop his trolling motor and come by , but you told him to just come on with his outboard. The guy was obviously already heading up the creek beyond where you were fishing. That’s the bad part of fishing in normal navigation routes in skinny water. We deal with lake drawdowns here in winter, where EVERYONE that goes by you is literally within arms reach. You can’t claim an entire feeder creek by fishing at it’s mouth in a kayak. Skinny water fishing.
Oh Cole…..😢 I really feel like if you hadn’t lost the time to boat repairs, driving around the lake, and your kindly bass boat buddy, you could have won that one! Your fishing was impeccable! Good job anyway.
You saved your day! It was a struggle with all the obstacles. Nice to get third
Dude that was super fun to watch!
13:25 - I had a 2" gash in the bottom of my Pelican Bass Raider last season, and I was able to fix it with West System 655-8 G/flex Epoxy Adhesive. It's a phenomenal product that I think would work better than JB Weld.
It was good to see all the things that can happen while tournament fishing. I hope you never forget to be better prepared with hydration next time!!! Heat stroke is so serious and not worth it! I enjoyed watching and those fish were pretty nice.
I love this channel great job guys
There’s a guy name Stevie night that is a reaction channel and he lost his son a couple months ago. I wish you guys would give him a shout out. It’s a very sad story.
Love that last area you were in, I’ve done a couple videos with the same exact background. Way to hang in there Brother!!
sounds like dude was coming to fish that creek and you were there, im confused were you both fishing a tourney? he shouldnt have stopped right in front of you but it sounds like he thought you were coming out by the way you were facing. idk if anyone did anything malicious here
You handled it like a Pro
I grew up fishing Spadra Creek on Lake Dardenelle. Caught my first six pounder there, as well as my first eight pound bass. Lots of fond memories from nearly 50 years ago! Always fun fishing with you, Jay!
That was a lot of fun. Thanks for taking us along
Unbelievable! Way to grind! Most would give up.
Cole there is a product called seal all. It is a great product. It dries clear and super tough you can drill it . I used it on an aluminum boat and it held for the year that I had the boat. You might consider it. Works on steel aluminum plastic glass etc. Hope it helps. Love and Respect.
He could also try some flex seal!
Flex Seal FTW lol You def handled that guy much better than I would have.
Why do some fisherman try to set the hook so hard. Are they trying to rip the fishes jaw off. I have never had to do that.
Just wanted to say I Am so proud of you. Just like the old saying when life gives you lemons make lemonade. Thats exactly what you did.
Thanks Meemaw!!!
One of them maga minnions😆
Nice come back man. Love the video!
“It’s not a destination, it’s what you learned along the way.” You’re a trooper cole 💪🏼
Cole, kayaks are made from a heat formed plastic which means a home depot bucket it the right type of plastic and the right color to MELT your kayak back together. Use a hot iron bar and a small propane torch and your in business. Good luck.
I'd patch it from the outside, with some fiber glass cloth and resin that way the patch would never fail, cheaper than a new yak, and with two under 3 years old you might feel a little bit of a pinch, now and again.
Yup. Always patch from outside
Yes . Gator patch . Fiberglass reinforced resin patch . They are amazing . I patched a lightbulb sized hole in my yak . They make keel gaurd patches too to protect the keel from getting holes .
Wow that guy! You kept your cool very well.
Great video! That's the way to stay with it! You came so close to the third place mark. Can't wait to be with you the next time! Loves and hugs to your sweet family. 😊😊 I'm proud of you Cole! Good job.
God bless all here.
There have been so many times that people in boats, jet skis, kayaks and even paddle boards have disturbed my fishing when I was in places in my kayak that a boat or jet ski would have to really work at getting into. Being courteous to another fisherman on the water should just be a standard behavior. I have even had boats that seemed like they were attempting to swamp my kayak with their wakes. Come on people, be better than that. This isn't complaining, it is observing how some people can behave poorly. Cole, even though you had some adversity, you worked through it like a champ. You may not have won the tournament, you are winning in life!!! Go home, enjoy your family and get ready to leave some fish with sore lips on the next time out!!
The character you showed under pressure was admirable. You maintained your cool and pulled out a great limit. My guess is the guy in the bass boat caught little or nothing. Keep on doing what you do. God bless!
Educated guess?? You must have saw something no one else did in this video.
You can plastic weld that leak with a good soldering gun... That's a easy fix...
Good job, way to grind it out.
well deff would not appreciate some dude pulling up on me after he watched me catch a fish especially in a tournament when everything matters but as much as i hate to say it when your fishing on a public lake or body of water you have to deal with that or go home !!sad but true had this happen to me more than once very frustrating but fishermen have little rights!! its like law of the land but think what would be even more frustrating is a hole in the boat having to spend that time just waiting !!
Get a kayak and take some water! Liked the video!
Positive guy and good for you for handling that really well. My short tempered self would have not been nice.
GUUD VIDEO 📹
Good that you kept your head down and not give up, congratulations
i liked the video when you broke the sandal lol keep catching them
I appreciate you showing the real story. We all go through these kind of days but you stayed come and collected through it all.
Well done!
I’ve experienced worse. Boats flying right by kayakers at 30+ mph. This bullshit is pretty regular where I fish. At least this guy slowed down for you.
I'm proud of you dude. You did good 👍
Good job keepin your wits about ya 👍
Hey lad, go to auto parts store, buy black RTV oil and gas resistant, can cure under water as well.
That area will never leak again.
The tensile strength is far above what our kayaks are made out off.
It will last longer than the boat.
Dude subbed because of the perseverance of that day 😂
You have a great attitude and spirit about you. Great job!
You did a great job ❤
I’m not sure what the problem is. He was courteous and even asked if you wanted him to put the trolling motor down to go past. What’s he supposed to do - give you the whole creek? I fish in the Gulf and boats will come from miles away and pull up right next to you if they think you’re on a private reef. It goes with the territory.
Glad you kept your cool 😎
Over all you pull it out even when most people would have called it the day💯💯💯💯👍🏾
You showed the most professionalism
Throw while talk...multitask
Good job of keeping your cool. Some people....
You did great. You caught alot if fish. Still a great time.
