You guys are pros, intelligent, wise, crafty, determined, and pure class in action. Love watching your guys work, have fun, and be the master storytellers that you both are.
the relationship between father and son is fantastic, you can tell from the son, an upright young man, nice and helpful! if only everyone would take the time and raise their children like this, we would have many problems less "mass shootings" and much more.! this is something i noticed right away, he is interested in nature, educated, really nice to see, makes the video much better, we need more such young man. you are a great team! greetings from Swiss/Italy
When I think of my childhood and all the things we did it saddens me so many children live in the city and never leave it. I grew up on a "farm" with every animal you can think, of and some you can't. We had a pond and a rope swing, ice skating, swimming, fishing. I'm talking Tom Sawyer, stick string, hook and we dug our own worms. Many tree and other forts, Sleigh and tobogan riding. I could go on. 😁
but I also dig the respect that Junior gives to his Pop as well...i.e. not talking when his Dad speaks and the way he listens. Junior is going to be a great man.
This channel is so pleasing to watch, and I look forward to seeing them every time a new video pops up. It has been so Informative because I am on the east coast here near the Georgia coast and being truthful the news media is not exposing this serious situation.
I absolutely love watching how this young man loves being outdoors with his dad, you can just see that he genuinely loves it, you guy's are so inspiring. Thanks for keeping us updated on Lake Mead.
I really like both Sr and Jr’s personality. They seem like genuinely good humans. I like their conservation efforts and enjoy their hunting videos of varmints
I am disabled and I can't do things like this anymore it's so nice to hear your storys and see all of this through your eyes thank you so much for being who you are love you guys ❤️
Originally found this channel for the lake drought, and now I’m staying for the fishing. Thank you guys for giving me new interests and info. Definitely a fan now!!
It's a beautiful thing, seeing a father teach his son what he knows. To your son. You're great young man. Great attitude you have. Enjoy watching what you both do. Keep it up. God bless you both. 🙏
What I've noticed is individuals into fish and game are way more aware of conservation of the environment and the eco system. You guys are stand up and represent the fish and game community in a global scale. Keep it up!
The father son relationship you guys have is similar to what my dad and I had. He's been gone 41 years now, but I fondly remember our time we spent breeding, raising, and racing Thoroughbred horses. I really miss those days.
The installment of that ladder is pretty nice. I see that it was chained to the rock so it couldn’t be moved or stolen. Those signs warning of the amoeba were kind of terrifying! That would be a horrible way to go, that’s for sure! Those hot springs definitely look like they were hidden away. Looks like a nice place to take a soak and relax. Great video!
they definitely were terrifying but the signs are relatively useless for tourists that do not properly speak english. they might benefit from a few pictograms explaining whats going on.
You two are absolute roll models for the rest of the world! Your Father Son relationship is admirable and solid! Thank you both for the videos, compassion for nature and for the example that all men should strive for.
Thank you guys for taking us up to the hot springs below the dam. I wanted to go there when I lived in northern Utah. You guys made it happen. Thank you again.
I'm a cattle rancher and love the outdoors but don't fish, so I LOVE watching your channel! Starting watching bc of the Lake Mead updates but have been enjoying all of your videos and will continue to follow no matter what the water does. Thank you for taking us all along with you on your adventures ❤🇺🇲💙
I'm a dairy maid. Hard work, low pay. And loving it. I'd like to hire these guys to take me fishing. Maybe I can trade my fresh frozen chickens for a fishing trip to Lake Mead.
I was a park ranger stationed at Willow Beach in 1964. I appreciate seeing how things have changed. No striped bass then just rainbow trout and lots of carp.
You guys were an accidental discovery, and I am so grateful. You are such genuinely good people that are pleasant to listen to and watch. I love the relationship you both have. Love your heart 🙂
Accidental for me too. I’m a woman who mostly watches makeup channels so I don’t understand why TH-cam recommended a fishing video for me 😂 😂. I’m so glad they did though. I saw what good people they were by helping Craig (guy with the houseboat) and I was literally 🪝 hooked!!
You guys are truly incredible; men of all men. So smart, worldly, well spoken and stylish(love the crocs!) I really enjoy your videos and am envious of your great relationship and enthusiasm for nature. Keep up the great work on You Tube. Your confidence makes your storytelling gripping for the audience. So glad I found your channel!
Lived in Henderson and launched from a public ramp 2 1/2 miles from the dam. This was 1980 -'83 and the water was even with the two intakes right at the dam. I was amazed when I happened across a vid of the lake now. Not ashamed to admit I teared up thinking about all the folks that made their living on the water. I was a Chef and knew most of them on a personal level and my heart goes out to them one and all. I want to thank you for the vids and the reminder of all the great times that I lived on that wonderful lake.
The father son relationship you guys have is truly amazing, Keep the content coming guys. Great fishing awesome scenery and a lil knowledge along the way. Big Aussie fan here =)
Heard about the Lake Mead drought out west and stumbled across your channel, you guys are awesome, respectful, and the ultimate father son duo! Much love from Ohio!
One of the most awesome Father and Son teams I have yet seen, you have taught him well and alot of Fathers could learn from you. Its been decades since I have been to the Willow beach area.
i love watchin your vids, im cripple now so dont really get to leave the bedroom verry often. but these vids get me out. i get emotional watching these vids. man i miss being able to walk. dont take your legs for granted people, make use of em while you can.
Until I started watching your show the other day the things that you guys do and in your camaraderie and everything that everybody gets together and helps everybody else I was really pleased we need more pàeopleike you and your dad in the world today God bless you stay blessed be safe and stay well
Wow....this took me back to the mid '70s when I helped a nieghbour move his furnature to a house he bought in north cali.He took me to that marina ,rented a boat and lounged in those springs....what a treat! after driving for a couple days and moving furnature the water felt great.We lived in Phoenix. Loved those days! Thanks
I really appreciate outdoorsmen like you guys that spread the message of conservation. It takes help from everyone to assure the fish and game get big and make it all worth it. To do that we have to take care of the spaces they live in and harvest them in responsible and humane ways. I really hope Mead can get some water from its headwaters in the future to bring the level up some and help the fish out. Their world is literally shrinking daily.
Man, this might be the most underrated channel on youtube. Even with the recent increase in subs. You guys never fail to impress me with the content. Keep it up fellas! 🤘
What makes me happy is you and your boy enjoy spending time together and love your boat and fishing. I have a bunch of boys and there's nothing better than hanging out doing stuff outside no matter what it is.
I stumbled across you guys after visiting the Hoover dam a few weeks ago and looking on TH-cam for videos about how low the water level is down. You guys are great and it was awesome how you helped Craig get the help he needed getting his boat back in the water. You guys will be at a million if you keep doing what you're doing.
Love you two. You are so interested in history and conservation. We need more people like you! Interesting that people down river say they are releasing a lot of water. The same is going on below the Elephant Butte dam on the Rio Grande. The reservoir is at historic lows.
You are both people that I would love to have as friends because,, for the time I've been following you guys, you both helped someone out when nobody else would. You guys went out your way and that there means a lot as well as says a lot about you. Peace, love and much respect to you both thank you. 💯❤🙏😇👍🙂👌💪😎
It’s super fun watching you guys. You got the cool father-son vibe going, producing informative content, and just overall good times. Definitely my type of people I’d like to hang out with.
I'm a 3rd Generation Las Vegan & it's so cool to see you guys in my back yard. Proud & Honorable Hats Off To Senior for his cool relationship w/Jr. It is how we were raised back in the day. You would be amazed to know that only 1 in 100+ kids today have NEVER ever casted a line. With u guys out there maybe more will get interested &/or Involved. RIGHT ON
You guys have the right of it.....catch and release is a great way to insure the continued growth of the fish and the opportunity for others to have a chance to experience some great fishing. Great video, it feels like I'm right there with you. When Senior said it "feels good" while reeling his catch in I was saying, "they all feel good" when you have them on the line. 🐟🐟🐟
I don't watch much online but as a avid hunter and fisherman. I enjoy watching your videos fishing places I haven't had the opportunity to fish myself. I love to come down from Ohio and fish with you guys sometime . Awesome father son relationship you guys have as well. Well done
Awesome video guys!! Just when Vegas was starting to re-open after the pandemic, my wife and I had to take time off and we went to Vegas. It was July 2020, Vegas proper was still mostly closed. There is nothing more serene than standing in the middle of Las Vegas Blvd, at 9pm at night, and dont have a single car honking at you. We planned outdoor activities, and one of them was the kayaking you guys mentioned. We booked with Blazin' Paddles Nevada and had an amazing time, put in the river right at Willow beach. We kayaked EXACTLY 2 years ago today, July 7th. It was HOT that day, some 115 in the canyon and the water was a cool 56, which is normal for us from the Northeast. I had a cap meant to get wet and the most refreshing act was to dunk the cap in the cool water and just pull it over my head. The spot you guys noted at about 9:13 in was explained by our guide from Blazin Paddles, Dani, that the area of Emerald Cove was one of the sites being considered by the Bureau of Reclamation as a potential dam site. They had surveyors that had to use that wire strung cart and treacherous wooden walkway to get to the site, and take measurements of water volume, flow rates, turbidity and more. They went back and forth multiple times a day. Wish we had a chance to visit the hot springs!! Added to the list for our next trip back! You guys need to keep up what you are doing, really good vids.
I came here initially because of your Lake Mead updates. Thanks to Senior for your service (my husband is an Iraq combat vet and I was in support never deployed, active Army) and both your willingness to help people while you’re out on the lake. I liked how you threw in some fishing there and educated folks (only been once in my life). Seeing the hot springs was awesome you gotta have those crocks on 4WD! 😂 Was cool getting to see the dam up close from the bottom. Love that you guys keep it simple with your videos but definitely I laughed a few times on this one. Take care from Oregon and look forward to future videos. BTW those hot springs are therapeutic you should look it up many beneficial things. We used to go to a hot springs pool all the time when I was younger here in Central Oregon (Kahneeta which they plan to reopen next year - probably good fishing on the reservation there too). Look forward to your travels!
It’s so rare seeing people care about nature as you guys do. Your respect for the striper having survived for a long time is what will keep you and your son around for a long time. Keep up the good days
Bro its awesome to see your dad and you fishing and doing things together. You all look more like best friends than father son. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you
Guys I am a 62 yo used to go to lake mead in the 70's but would love to fish an check things out with you all. Lived in Alaska, Washington, Las Vegas and now but now Wisconsin. It would be so cool. Great job guys you are a great and kind family. Thanks for your videos : )
23:40 Remember, fish are coldblooded animals, so placing that fish on the bottom of your hot boat is like putting it in a fire. Keep in mind that, because they are cold-blooded, even handling the fish with your bare hands is also painful for them. I learned this from a veterinarian who specializes in fish medicine. He told me, when I'm sport fishing and handling fish, to wear wool gloves that I need to get wet BEFORE I handle the fish. It causes less stress on the animal and helps them to recover even faster after you've released them back into the water. Just a suggestion.
I loved watching this video. To see a father and son spending time together like this is wonderful. I have 3 sons and we all have relationships like this. I am from Georgia and grew up fishing, hunting, and exploring like this with my uncle and granddad. It brings back good memories for me. I love the relationship y'all have. Keep making great videos!
So happy you are able to make great memories. Good parent. I applaud you. There's a whole lot a young person can learn while in the "wild". Taught me patience ( wasn't very good at it) lol God Bless!
I love hearing stories like this. I'm from NJ, & have a 30yr old son (& 26yr od daugter) & WISH my son had this kind of relationship with his dad.. but out here, unfortunately, it's a rare thing these days... Dad's try to be their friends rather than the father a boy needs. I had a great relationship with my dad & my grandfather & remember fishing with them almost every weekend growing up.
Love your guys' compassion and respect for the outdoors and the wildlife. The father-son relationship you two have is a great one and a good example for others. Thank you for the genuine, clean content 🇺🇲🙏
It's shocking how many people don't realize ecology and fishing go together like butter and toast. Really enjoy the change of pace from Mead, it was getting a little depressing. Hope you guys are having as much fun as at looks.
I liked when SR showed a picture, slow pic... and talked while the picture was still. I can assure you, I felt that moment. The fishing, the boats, I'm really digging your channel and it's only been 2-3 months since I been craving Lake Mead updates. Thanks man, I appreciate your guys videos. Please keep making them.
At first this was just a father/son fishing trips but seeing your acts of conservation and helping out people in need has made it special. Keep us posted on Craig, we want to see how things turn out for him! Perhaps someone could donate the time for a 'Go Fund Me' site for him to get his boat fixed?
Now that's what it is all about right there, a father and son having a nice time of fishing and discovering places together. It is very cool that y'all release those trophy fish and nice to hear you explain why you do what you do. Those hot springs were super cool, er uh, hot I mean, but cool nonetheless!!! Keep doing what you're doing because it is awesome!!! Cheers!!!
It's great to see everything you guys post. In all aspects, the information you guys share, the team work, the father son relationship. The way y'all communicate and express yourselves is respectful and articulated too. Respect to you senior and to your son🙌. Thanks for taking the time to upload good content.
Great to see you guys doing some fishing,and catching!! I live in southwest Ohio, went out in my kayak last night on a deep clear water reservoir, caught about 20 largemouth bass,mostly on top water with a buzzbait. have an amazing smallmouth river in my backyard,I understand the catch and release mentality. Keep up the great content.
Hey guys, love the content. I've recently tried watching a few other channels with similar content about the area but I feel spoiled. Y'all come across as very genuine, the content is interesting and enjoyable to watch and edited well. Glad I found the channel. Plan on watching lots more of your previous content. (Been watching about a month or so...) Great job!
My brother and I were going across the switchback of Angels Landing and one of those little chipmunks wouldn't leave us alone. It was pretty funny. I love seeing ya'lls videos. Thank you for keeping us informed. Stay safe!
I love this channel. I just found it a few weeks ago. You guys are awesome. Y’all are taking us to places we have never seen before. Thank y’all so much. 👍👍🌟🌟❤️❤️
I’ve done that kayak tour and we stopped at the springs plus a cool cave that was not too far from the dam! Thanks for showing it and bringing back some awesome memories! Boulder City has some great views of Lake Mead and a cool museum with lots of cool info about the building of the Hoover Dam. Love love your channel!
I really agree with all the earlier comments. You guys are a TH-cam treasure. Your videos are so professionally done, and your family values are inspirational. Best on TH-cam.
I used to live not far from the dam, born and raised in AZ. It’s really cool to see the areas that I’ve been to as a kid (which isn’t that long ago, I’m trying to make myself sound old😂). Thanks for letting me live vicariously through y’all! Your footage is fantastic! I found y’all from a Reddit post, best rabbit hole I’ve been down.😂
That was a Loon at 6:35. I didn’t know they stayed that far south in the summer. They migrate from Northern Canada to Mexico. That’s a common sound in summer in the high mountain lakes anywhere in North America, but only if it’s remote. They like their privacy.
Dude that's alright you let the big long one go early by accident. You had good intentions man trying to dunk it in after being on the hot boat! I like how y'all roll. I'm the exact same way. I really care about the fish and everything else out there too. Great video guys. 👍👍
My dad's coming from Longview Washington to spokane where I stay at , and were gonna go fish rent some jet skies out etc can't wait!! Nothing like spending quality time with Pops! I admire your guys quality time together makes me appreciate things alot more. Thank you
I’m glad you guys have gotten the recognition through your channel. I’ve been watching you guys for years and after several of my banned accounts for commenting my 2cents. Anyways I remember Adrian talking about pellet rifles in his videos . That’s how back i go with your channel. Super happy for you guys. You guys earned it and deserve it.
Love these guys! Watching from Ft Lauderdale, FL and always look forward to new videos. I'm really interested in the lake levels and it is concerning. But as a life long boater who used to fish a lot (blue water) I like seeing the fishing videos as well. Great job Senior raising your boys right and thank you sir for your service to our country! I have the highest respect for our members of the military and law enforcement. Oh yeah....Subscribed!
I got to be honest, I don’t fish too much. I did more when I was young. That being said I’ve pretty much never watched ANY fishing videos. However I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys fish. Your content is FANTASTIC and I’m glad to see you guys are getting great recognition!!!! Class act right here, stay safe gentleman!
Man its great to see others like me with the catch and release to help the fisheries continue to have those big guys swimming for more future fun thank you guys for all the footage you guys get can't wait to see more
I was just there in April. Same spots you guys film. I wish I could of met you guys. Class act Father and son. Best stuff ever. I miss my Dad. Keep doing what you guy do. Interesting content and you boys are together.
You guys make some great videos. You will both love Lake Powell, it's more beautiful than the Grand Canyon. Let me know when you guys get down to Lake Havasu, I'll buy ya a burger or something. October is the best month for Havasu. Its still warm during the day but beginning to cool off at night. The lake is still warm enough to swim also.
Kudos to you guys! Keep the attention on this. Just read an article about them finding a lady that went missing out there and immediately came to youtube to see if yall posted anything new.
great content. really relaxing and I love how you and your son just fish and chat and talk :) love to see the water and the update on the drought. I live in VA and don't travel :) so these are my travel escapes! my husband has been all over the USA and tells great stories...
Love you guys. Total respect from the United Kingdom. We might hit our record high temperature of 98 degrees this week and the whole country will fall apart and shut down. You guys are fishing in 110 degrees plus, wearing jeans and black t-shirts 😂 Keep up the good work, God Bless.
It’s desert living. Acclimate. I’m out in the Palm Springs area and we also avg 110 out to 120 and it’s no joke. Dry heat is better than humidity though. Stay hydrated 🍺
that trolly thing is the old gagers platform. A guy used to check the river level every day. Thanks for releasing the fish. People like me understand that they dont just majically come back after someone kills them. Thanks for posting. Great video as always
Two 11 pounders back to back! I live wayyy up north in Ontario Canada in fishing and hunting country but I'll tell you right now I have never caught two eleven pounders in a row. GG you guys, love your videos. Looks like Lake Mead has helped your channel. Good thing or I may have never found your channel. Keep up the amazing job you guys.
water in the 70's was 42* coming out of the dam, Jet skiing and falling when it's 120* in the sun and you hit that you need to get out quick I broke my ski's handlepole and was in for maybe 6 minutes and came out BLUE. thanks for sharing one of my favorite place of my entire 61 years
WHERE ARE THOSE WATERFALLS & canyons? I’ve lived here my entire life and I’ve never seen or heard of these cool places! Thank you guys so much for all you do!! God bless your entire family!! Keep up the great job!!
Go downriver from the Hoover Dam a few miles and pull out to the left at Ringbolt Rapids. I went there with a canoe around Christmas of 1989. I think I remember hearing there’s a way to walk there from a road, but no idea how.
What a pleasure to see a new upload. I can't wait to try fishing, it looks so rewarding. Edit: I just have to add, I love the style of your videos. It feels like I'm coming along on your exploration.
Hey guys I love your videos, Willow Beach has been one of my favorite places since the early 70s, love to tell you the stories about how big the trout were in the river. In the 40s and the 50s they were catching 30-35 lb rainbow trout there used to be on the walls in the Marina was your hall of fame and you could see over the years the decline in the size of the rainbows from 30 to 40 to 2 to 3 lb in the 90s. A lot had to do with it that the stripers weren't in that part of the river until the spillways were open in 1983 at the dam.
When I went on the hoover dam tour in 1980 something? The tour guy said the dam inspectors in diving gear brought cattle prods with them because there were 6 plus foot catfish or Sturgeon? I don't know if that is true? But he said it scared the diver's. Stuck with me as a child. My dad lived there and brought me every year to see the dam. Beautiful and scary as a child. And the story of men getting buried in the concrete because when they started pouring they couldn't stop? I don't have a clue if that was true either?
We have some beautiful lakes in northern Nevada. Pyramid, Angel lake (no boats), and Wild Horse. There’s more but I can’t think off the top of my head. We have an awesome hot spring up here too. If you’re looking for more places to explore, consider northern Nevada, I think you guys would enjoy! I’m glad I came across your page!
You guys are pros, intelligent, wise, crafty, determined, and pure class in action. Love watching your guys work, have fun, and be the master storytellers that you both are.
Thank You . Very nicely put.

Only if i had a dad 😂
@@OfficialMilkers felt that😂
It's awesome to see a father teaching his son to do things. The world would be a better place if we had more of this.
Maybe. Maybe not. Remember Joe taught Hunter, for example.
Facts
When I think of my childhood and all the things we did it saddens me so many children live in the city and never leave it. I grew up on a "farm" with every animal you can think, of and some you can't. We had a pond and a rope swing, ice skating, swimming, fishing.

That's why Teddy Roosevelt created the national parks. He was an avid hunter and outdoors man.
Releasing non native species because you want to catch bigger fish isn't conservation.
The father son relationship you guys have is similar to what my dad and I had. He's been gone 41 years now, but I fondly remember our time we spent breeding, raising, and racing Thoroughbred horses. I really miss those days.
The installment of that ladder is pretty nice. I see that it was chained to the rock so it couldn’t be moved or stolen. Those signs warning of the amoeba were kind of terrifying! That would be a horrible way to go, that’s for sure! Those hot springs definitely look like they were hidden away. Looks like a nice place to take a soak and relax. Great video!
The amoeba will also go into your urethra. It's rare, but I sure wouldn't risk it!!
they definitely were terrifying but the signs are relatively useless for tourists that do not properly speak english. they might benefit from a few pictograms explaining whats going on.
You two are absolute roll models for the rest of the world! Your Father Son relationship is admirable and solid! Thank you both for the videos, compassion for nature and for the example that all men should strive for.

It's great to see FATHER and son and how important and great the relationship is supposed to be. Good times guys!
This channel has been the best discovery I've made lately. Keep up the good work guys, much love from the uk
I was a park ranger stationed at Willow Beach in 1964. I appreciate seeing how things have changed. No striped bass then just rainbow trout and lots of carp.
The trout belong. Bass and carp don't.

Until I started watching your show the other day the things that you guys do and in your camaraderie and everything that everybody gets together and helps everybody else I was really pleased we need more pàeopleike you and your dad in the world today God bless you stay blessed be safe and stay well
Wow....this took me back to the mid '70s when I helped a nieghbour move his furnature to a house he bought in north cali.He took me to that marina ,rented a boat and lounged in those springs....what a treat! after driving for a couple days and moving furnature the water felt great.We lived in Phoenix. Loved those days! Thanks
Lake Mead aside, you guys are just great dudes. Enjoy watching your adventures and the father son thing is awesome!
I really appreciate outdoorsmen like you guys that spread the message of conservation. It takes help from everyone to assure the fish and game get big and make it all worth it. To do that we have to take care of the spaces they live in and harvest them in responsible and humane ways. I really hope Mead can get some water from its headwaters in the future to bring the level up some and help the fish out. Their world is literally shrinking daily.
There's no reason to protect non native species. Bass don't belong.
You guys are just so awesome, very down to earth, and very soft spoken. Thanks for taking us on a remote adventure!
Man, this might be the most underrated channel on youtube. Even with the recent increase in subs. You guys never fail to impress me with the content. Keep it up fellas! 🤘
True I’ve showed people they knew the guy that pulled the guys huge boat out washed ashore.
What makes me happy is you and your boy enjoy spending time together and love your boat and fishing. I have a bunch of boys and there's nothing better than hanging out doing stuff outside no matter what it is.
I stumbled across you guys after visiting the Hoover dam a few weeks ago and looking on TH-cam for videos about how low the water level is down. You guys are great and it was awesome how you helped Craig get the help he needed getting his boat back in the water. You guys will be at a million if you keep doing what you're doing.
Love you two. You are so interested in history and conservation. We need more people like you!
Interesting that people down river say they are releasing a lot of water. The same is going on below the Elephant Butte dam on the Rio Grande. The reservoir is at historic lows.
Father and Son relationships like this are so important! Nothing but respect!!!
You are both people that I would love to have as friends because,, for the time I've been following you guys, you both helped someone out when nobody else would. You guys went out your way and that there means a lot as well as says a lot about you. Peace, love and much respect to you both thank you. 💯❤🙏😇👍🙂👌💪😎
It’s super fun watching you guys. You got the cool father-son vibe going, producing informative content, and just overall good times. Definitely my type of people I’d like to hang out with.
I'm a 3rd Generation Las Vegan & it's so cool to see you guys in my back yard.
Proud & Honorable Hats Off To Senior for his cool relationship w/Jr. It is how we were raised back in the day. You would be amazed to know that only 1 in 100+ kids today have NEVER ever casted a line. With u guys out there maybe more will get interested &/or Involved.
RIGHT ON
That bird you heard at around 6:35 was a Loon! Lots of them up here in Canada. Keep the great outdoor content coming!
I love fishing TH-camrs but your fishing mixed with the journalism just makes it that much more entertaining. Keep it up guys
It's nice to see a father and son hunting and fishing together.
This is amazing. The hot springs and all this. Wow.
You guys have the right of it.....catch and release is a great way to insure the continued growth of the fish and the opportunity for others to have a chance to experience some great fishing. Great video, it feels like I'm right there with you. When Senior said it "feels good" while reeling his catch in I was saying, "they all feel good" when you have them on the line. 🐟🐟🐟
I don't watch much online but as a avid hunter and fisherman. I enjoy watching your videos fishing places I haven't had the opportunity to fish myself.
I love to come down from Ohio and fish with you guys sometime .
Awesome father son relationship you guys have as well. Well done
THIS WAS FREAKEN AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR THE CONTENT YOU BOTH! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Awesome video guys!!
Just when Vegas was starting to re-open after the pandemic, my wife and I had to take time off and we went to Vegas. It was July 2020, Vegas proper was still mostly closed. There is nothing more serene than standing in the middle of Las Vegas Blvd, at 9pm at night, and dont have a single car honking at you. We planned outdoor activities, and one of them was the kayaking you guys mentioned. We booked with Blazin' Paddles Nevada and had an amazing time, put in the river right at Willow beach. We kayaked EXACTLY 2 years ago today, July 7th.
It was HOT that day, some 115 in the canyon and the water was a cool 56, which is normal for us from the Northeast. I had a cap meant to get wet and the most refreshing act was to dunk the cap in the cool water and just pull it over my head.
The spot you guys noted at about 9:13 in was explained by our guide from Blazin Paddles, Dani, that the area of Emerald Cove was one of the sites being considered by the Bureau of Reclamation as a potential dam site. They had surveyors that had to use that wire strung cart and treacherous wooden walkway to get to the site, and take measurements of water volume, flow rates, turbidity and more. They went back and forth multiple times a day.
Wish we had a chance to visit the hot springs!! Added to the list for our next trip back!
You guys need to keep up what you are doing, really good vids.
Thank you for showing the catch and release to help the fish get bigger, and keep the fishery alive.
I came here initially because of your Lake Mead updates. Thanks to Senior for your service (my husband is an Iraq combat vet and I was in support never deployed, active Army) and both your willingness to help people while you’re out on the lake. I liked how you threw in some fishing there and educated folks (only been once in my life). Seeing the hot springs was awesome you gotta have those crocks on 4WD! 😂 Was cool getting to see the dam up close from the bottom. Love that you guys keep it simple with your videos but definitely I laughed a few times on this one. Take care from Oregon and look forward to future videos. BTW those hot springs are therapeutic you should look it up many beneficial things. We used to go to a hot springs pool all the time when I was younger here in Central Oregon (Kahneeta which they plan to reopen next year - probably good fishing on the reservation there too). Look forward to your travels!
It’s so rare seeing people care about nature as you guys do. Your respect for the striper having survived for a long time is what will keep you and your son around for a long time. Keep up the good days
Bro its awesome to see your dad and you fishing and doing things together. You all look more like best friends than father son. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you
Guys I am a 62 yo used to go to lake mead in the 70's but would love to fish an check things out with you all. Lived in Alaska, Washington, Las Vegas and now but now Wisconsin. It would be so cool. Great job guys you are a great and kind family. Thanks for your videos : )
Being an outdoorsman is all about conservation, letting them go especially the big ones is the way to go.
I agree. Just shared the same info.
We especially like the gentle , respectful ways they handle the fish when removing the lures / hook & releasing them back into the water.
Respect. No doubt.
23:40 Remember, fish are coldblooded animals, so placing that fish on the bottom of your hot boat is like putting it in a fire. Keep in mind that, because they are cold-blooded, even handling the fish with your bare hands is also painful for them. I learned this from a veterinarian who specializes in fish medicine. He told me, when I'm sport fishing and handling fish, to wear wool gloves that I need to get wet BEFORE I handle the fish. It causes less stress on the animal and helps them to recover even faster after you've released them back into the water. Just a suggestion.
I loved watching this video. To see a father and son spending time together like this is wonderful. I have 3 sons and we all have relationships like this. I am from Georgia and grew up fishing, hunting, and exploring like this with my uncle and granddad. It brings back good memories for me. I love the relationship y'all have. Keep making great videos!
So happy you are able to make great memories. Good parent. I applaud you. There's a whole lot a young person can learn while in the "wild". Taught me patience ( wasn't very good at it) lol God Bless!
I love hearing stories like this. I'm from NJ, & have a 30yr old son (& 26yr od daugter) & WISH my son had this kind of relationship with his dad.. but out here, unfortunately, it's a rare thing these days... Dad's try to be their friends rather than the father a boy needs. I had a great relationship with my dad & my grandfather & remember fishing with them almost every weekend growing up.
I love watching you’re vids they really keep me from being bored when I’m not camping and fishing
You guys are great. The lack of water and how its disappearing is devastating. This is history in the making.
Love your guys' compassion and respect for the outdoors and the wildlife. The father-son relationship you two have is a great one and a good example for others. Thank you for the genuine, clean content 🇺🇲🙏
I’m not super outdoorsy, but my dad used to take me fishing when I was small. Love your channel, thanks for the drought updates!!
It's shocking how many people don't realize ecology and fishing go together like butter and toast.
Really enjoy the change of pace from Mead, it was getting a little depressing. Hope you guys are having as much fun as at looks.
I liked when SR showed a picture, slow pic... and talked while the picture was still. I can assure you, I felt that moment. The fishing, the boats, I'm really digging your channel and it's only been 2-3 months since I been craving Lake Mead updates. Thanks man, I appreciate your guys videos. Please keep making them.
love you guys bro
At first this was just a father/son fishing trips but seeing your acts of conservation and helping out people in need has made it special. Keep us posted on Craig, we want to see how things turn out for him!
Perhaps someone could donate the time for a 'Go Fund Me' site for him to get his boat fixed?
Now that's what it is all about right there, a father and son having a nice time of fishing and discovering places together. It is very cool that y'all release those trophy fish and nice to hear you explain why you do what you do. Those hot springs were super cool, er uh, hot I mean, but cool nonetheless!!! Keep doing what you're doing because it is awesome!!! Cheers!!!
The relationship that Dad and Son have is awsome. Good 👍 job Sir! I also like what they show you about lake mead.
It's great to see everything you guys post. In all aspects, the information you guys share, the team work, the father son relationship. The way y'all communicate and express yourselves is respectful and articulated too. Respect to you senior and to your son🙌. Thanks for taking the time to upload good content.
We used to fish there when we lived in Las Vegas. Sure has changed since 1997. Awesome catch!
I love watching you two spend quality time together. Enjoy every moment. We send you our best wishes!
Great to see you guys doing some fishing,and catching!!
I live in southwest Ohio, went out in my kayak last night on a deep clear water reservoir, caught about 20 largemouth bass,mostly on top water with a buzzbait.
have an amazing smallmouth river in my backyard,I understand the catch and release mentality.
Keep up the great content.
Hey guys, love the content. I've recently tried watching a few other channels with similar content about the area but I feel spoiled. Y'all come across as very genuine, the content is interesting and enjoyable to watch and edited well. Glad I found the channel. Plan on watching lots more of your previous content. (Been watching about a month or so...) Great job!
My brother and I were going across the switchback of Angels Landing and one of those little chipmunks wouldn't leave us alone. It was pretty funny. I love seeing ya'lls videos. Thank you for keeping us informed. Stay safe!
I love this channel. I just found it a few weeks ago. You guys are awesome. Y’all are taking us to places we have never seen before.
Thank y’all so much. 👍👍🌟🌟❤️❤️
Awesome fishing! Awesome father son time! Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless you guys.
I’ve done that kayak tour and we stopped at the springs plus a cool cave that was not too far from the dam! Thanks for showing it and bringing back some awesome memories! Boulder City has some great views of Lake Mead and a cool museum with lots of cool info about the building of the Hoover Dam. Love love your channel!
I really agree with all the earlier comments. You guys are a TH-cam treasure. Your videos are so professionally done, and your family values are inspirational. Best on TH-cam.
I used to live not far from the dam, born and raised in AZ. It’s really cool to see the areas that I’ve been to as a kid (which isn’t that long ago, I’m trying to make myself sound old😂). Thanks for letting me live vicariously through y’all! Your footage is fantastic! I found y’all from a Reddit post, best rabbit hole I’ve been down.😂
🔵🔴your channel is flying
This was a awesome adventure, I for one appreciate the fishing and the hot springs. Thank you guys for taking the time to film and edit it
That was a Loon at 6:35. I didn’t know they stayed that far south in the summer. They migrate from Northern Canada to Mexico. That’s a common sound in summer in the high mountain lakes anywhere in North America, but only if it’s remote. They like their privacy.
Love the relationship between you. It’s no wonder Jr is such a wonderful, capable, confident young man.
Dude that's alright you let the big long one go early by accident. You had good intentions man trying to dunk it in after being on the hot boat! I like how y'all roll. I'm the exact same way. I really care about the fish and everything else out there too. Great video guys. 👍👍
You two are complete GEMS!! LOVE your content...I feel like I was there on the hike with you!! Keep up the great work!!
My dad's coming from Longview Washington to spokane where I stay at , and were gonna go fish rent some jet skies out etc can't wait!! Nothing like spending quality time with Pops! I admire your guys quality time together makes me appreciate things alot more. Thank you
I’m glad you guys have gotten the recognition through your channel. I’ve been watching you guys for years and after several of my banned accounts for commenting my 2cents. Anyways I remember Adrian talking about pellet rifles in his videos . That’s how back i go with your channel. Super happy for you guys. You guys earned it and deserve it.
Love these guys! Watching from Ft Lauderdale, FL and always look forward to new videos. I'm really interested in the lake levels and it is concerning. But as a life long boater who used to fish a lot (blue water) I like seeing the fishing videos as well. Great job Senior raising your boys right and thank you sir for your service to our country! I have the highest respect for our members of the military and law enforcement. Oh yeah....Subscribed!
I got to be honest, I don’t fish too much. I did more when I was young. That being said I’ve pretty much never watched ANY fishing videos. However I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys fish. Your content is FANTASTIC and I’m glad to see you guys are getting great recognition!!!! Class act right here, stay safe gentleman!
Man its great to see others like me with the catch and release to help the fisheries continue to have those big guys swimming for more future fun thank you guys for all the footage you guys get can't wait to see more
💯👍🏾
I was just there in April. Same spots you guys film. I wish I could of met you guys. Class act Father and son. Best stuff ever. I miss my Dad. Keep doing what you guy do. Interesting content and you boys are together.
You guys make some great videos. You will both love Lake Powell, it's more beautiful than the Grand Canyon. Let me know when you guys get down to Lake Havasu, I'll buy ya a burger or something. October is the best month for Havasu. Its still warm during the day but beginning to cool off at night. The lake is still warm enough to swim also.
Kudos to you guys! Keep the attention on this. Just read an article about them finding a lady that went missing out there and immediately came to youtube to see if yall posted anything new.
great content. really relaxing and I love how you and your son just fish and chat and talk :) love to see the water and the update on the drought. I live in VA and don't travel :) so these are my travel escapes! my husband has been all over the USA and tells great stories...
Love you guys. Total respect from the United Kingdom. We might hit our record high temperature of 98 degrees this week and the whole country will fall apart and shut down. You guys are fishing in 110 degrees plus, wearing jeans and black t-shirts 😂
Keep up the good work, God Bless.
It’s desert living. Acclimate. I’m out in the Palm Springs area and we also avg 110 out to 120 and it’s no joke. Dry heat is better than humidity though. Stay hydrated 🍺
that trolly thing is the old gagers platform. A guy used to check the river level every day. Thanks for releasing the fish. People like me understand that they dont just majically come back after someone kills them. Thanks for posting. Great video as always
Two 11 pounders back to back! I live wayyy up north in Ontario Canada in fishing and hunting country but I'll tell you right now I have never caught two eleven pounders in a row. GG you guys, love your videos. Looks like Lake Mead has helped your channel. Good thing or I may have never found your channel. Keep up the amazing job you guys.
water in the 70's was 42* coming out of the dam, Jet skiing and falling when it's 120* in the sun and you hit that you need to get out quick I broke my ski's handlepole and was in for maybe 6 minutes and came out BLUE. thanks for sharing one of my favorite place of my entire 61 years
WHERE ARE THOSE WATERFALLS & canyons? I’ve lived here my entire life and I’ve never seen or heard of these cool places! Thank you guys so much for all you do!! God bless your entire family!! Keep up the great job!!
Go downriver from the Hoover Dam a few miles and pull out to the left at Ringbolt Rapids. I went there with a canoe around Christmas of 1989.
I think I remember hearing there’s a way to walk there from a road, but no idea how.
Love your channel !
I subscribed about 6 weeks ago. Love the updates !
Warmest Regards from a 4th generation native Arizonan.
You two make me smile. Can't think of a better compliment.
What a pleasure to see a new upload. I can't wait to try fishing, it looks so rewarding.
Edit: I just have to add, I love the style of your videos. It feels like I'm coming along on your exploration.
Hey guys I love your videos, Willow Beach has been one of my favorite places since the early 70s, love to tell you the stories about how big the trout were in the river. In the 40s and the 50s they were catching 30-35 lb rainbow trout there used to be on the walls in the Marina was your hall of fame and you could see over the years the decline in the size of the rainbows from 30 to 40 to 2 to 3 lb in the 90s. A lot had to do with it that the stripers weren't in that part of the river until the spillways were open in 1983 at the dam.
I’ve heard some stories of massive trout. I believe the world record was set here
When I went on the hoover dam tour in 1980 something? The tour guy said the dam inspectors in diving gear brought cattle prods with them because there were 6 plus foot catfish or Sturgeon? I don't know if that is true? But he said it scared the diver's. Stuck with me as a child. My dad lived there and brought me every year to see the dam. Beautiful and scary as a child. And the story of men getting buried in the concrete because when they started pouring they couldn't stop? I don't have a clue if that was true either?

Tell the Son, a lot more then water forming these rock canyons. Cheers. Supernatural Being's of Earth Tracking Channel.
Really enjoy the channel. I miss my dad since he passed away. Glad you are spending good times with your dad…all the best…
We have some beautiful lakes in northern Nevada. Pyramid, Angel lake (no boats), and Wild Horse. There’s more but I can’t think off the top of my head. We have an awesome hot spring up here too. If you’re looking for more places to explore, consider northern Nevada, I think you guys would enjoy! I’m glad I came across your page!
I love driving through Colville going back home to reno from San diego. I miss swimming in Topaz.
I loved playing in the snow with shorts in my dad's cabin on the mountains. Back in 1980 something. Nevada is beautiful 😍
