#wildurbanadventures #poachers #snagging
Glad you guys stood your ground and point out what they're doing is illegal.
Dang I didn’t think people could be THIS dumb but these guys deserve a medal!
call the normal cops at that point until the warden comes
WOW the nerve of these people. Very good points made. We have the same here in WA state. You handled things very well. Be careful, there are some people that are real haters and worse. You run into some of those after you post your video. I know I been approached by some good and bad while fishing that recognized me. Take care, stay safe, and Fish On !!!
I think , Cartel boys are here . Looks lke.
Man thats rough to see. I would be frustrated as well. A lot of people lack common sense in terms of fishing etiquette, thats just the reality of it. Sucks to say but this is a very well known public spot so you’re bound to run into people like this, best bet to avoid this is to find a more secluded spot. Good thing you kept your cool!
Snagging is so unsportsmanlike I don’t know how people like that feel good about anything they catch your not a angler at that point your just a poacher
You're chasing boots in a drainage ditch, and taking the moral high ground. Classic!
Sound like something a snagger would say. Learn how to fish pussy.
HaHa.... That's funny right there.
Lol for real 😂
Still getting them to bite kook!
doing the right thing is always the right thing to do. lets get that straight. Its not the goregeous rivers I fish but I support his efforts
I mean yeah those guys are scumbags but why would you ever go fishing here? There’s literally no water. You’re in Michigan go find a real tributary, that’s a ditch lol
since he is giving the wisconsin hotline i don't think he is in michigan.
No respect for anyone fishing for rotting fish in 12" of water. Zero sportsman were involved in the making of this video. Those fish arent even good enough for dog food. Leave them alone when on gravel.
You're almost as bad as those poachers fishing for spawning salmon, let them lay their eggs in piece. Here in New Zealand that's frowned upon huge!
These aren't native fish. Lol They are *_STOCKED_* for the purpose of fishing and also helping to control the invasive alewife population.
These fish are STOCKED. Some have adapted, but they were put here for fishing and to help control the alewife population.
Happy you stood your ground. Be careful out there, you never know what kind of person you'll run into after calling them out. COVID almost destroyed the fishing hobby so we all have to work hard to conserve our fisheries.
How tf did covid destroy fishing ?
Rona didn't do shit to fishing. Government's did.
@@duckwacker8720yep. 🙄 pure ignorance
Be careful about saying anything in alaska……… someone has pulled a gun on my when I tried to help teach a group of guys
@@IBaitTheHook you must've said something pretty dumb
Call the warden instead of talking and filming them…😂😂😂😂
These maggots pretend they don’t speak English. The game wardens can’t speak Spanish so they just let them go
W good job for standing your ground i’m used to Alaska so you’re allowed to snag in salt water, but in fresh water you have to use bait but good job
Man, those guys would get their asses kicked in most places for pulling that crap...
You were a lot more peaceful than I would’ve been. That dude standing on the rock would’ve went for a swim if I were you, but to each their own!
Props to you standing ground and in the end getting fish for the guys. That's awesome I just wpukd have called the dnr asap
So glad I live out in the pnw. Those fish out in the great lakes are tule strain fish that deteriorate faster than the normal upriver Chinook we catch here. I live about 600 miles upriver from the ocean and our salmon are chrome and cut nice. Just sad to see that people snag and net those nasty boots. 😂
It’s similar here in Michigan especially at spots like Tippy Dam. The boots stack up and people floss and snag them all day and night.
I prefer throwing spoons for them on the pier late spring. No crowds and the fish are still chrome.
@@michigantroutaddict4910 I live close to Pulaski NY and I refuse to fish the Salmon River during the run, I fish early in the season at the estuary where the fish are still fresh and chrome. Can't stand the riff raff that comes from the cities. Fish On m8.
@@michigantroutaddict4910what pier do you go too went too tippy dams for the first time this year and saw a good bit of snagging and overall poor sports
@@leviathan9399 the northern piers are usually your best bet. Anything north of Holland is best but I mostly fish out of Saint Joe which doesn’t get a great run but you can grind one out if you put time in. Ludington is the big one everyone usually hits in the fall just prior to the run but springtime you never know what’s gonna hit your glow spoon. Big browns, coho, steelhead and the occasional king are all possibilities.
I dont think the poachers knew 10 english words between them
NETTING IS TOO MUCH, BUT WHEN SO MANY FISH CROWED IN SUCH A TINY REIVER, SNAGGING IS going TO HAPPEN.
I don’t know how to tell you this but snagging is both unethical and illegal
That’s true with somebody said you guys are chasing this fish in a drainage, ditch and 6 inches of water and you’re taking a moral high ground with what you’re doing and keeping the fish come on man
I see no difference between any of the guys in this video. These are the goons that ruin good fisheries and blow up spots, netting and keeping everything they can get.
It is commendable that you have the fortitude to stand your ground, even when it may result in being perceived as meek. However, it is important to remember that remaining silent is not always the best course of action. Sometimes, it is necessary to be vocal and advocate for oneself in order to be heard and respected and deescalate the issue with verbal judo or involve the game warden as soon as possible. For all self-defense purposes if the situation arises to cause you or anybody else physical harm legally carry firearm or some sort of pepper spray. Stay Blessed 🙏
SMH! I commend y’all for keeping such cool heads. I wouldn’t be able do it 🤣🤣
mexicans of course lol
I have to commend you guys for your demeanor during all this, I can’t say I would’ve handled it with nearly the same grace.
I would’ve straight up called DNR right in front of them to scare them off and if they left I’d follow and get a license plate #. I’d have a buddy record so you could show an officer the evidence but gosh this annoys me so much. From sportsman to sportsman I felt your pain. Nothing more annoying than a poacher that’ll take your spot. I feel like salmon fishing attracts all the dumb people😢 Keep at it bro I appreciate these videos. 🤘✌️
Uncle.....some people just don't give an "F". They need to learn the hard way. Unfortunately.....the DNR wasn't there to remind them to pay up sucker. Lol. Glad you guys caught fishes and had a good time.
I think I know where this place is not going to drop the location but looks very familiar good for calling out the snagging ur a better man I would have cut the lines
Imagine getting stabbed over a fish? WTF?
Those salmon are going to die in a month anyway.
I would pack up before I lose my cool & get physical with these creeps.
Great video! Those snaggers were quite disrespectful of you guys fishing there
Thank you. Salmon season always seems to bring the worse people out everywhere and anywhere.
As for some of the comments:
If the poachers were native, you think they would have identified themselves as such, or least I would have, to appease the folks filming.
One can criticize someone’s fishing methods, if they are illegal in nature but you should never criticize someone’s legal catch. Boots or not, it’s the anglers choice of what legal fish to possess/consume.
If an Angler takes an initiative to attempt to protect angling or the species, let’s try not to be critical of all the other things they chose not to focus on at the time ie. the trash on the bank of the river.
Well done poster, I wish you continued success and passion for the sport.
When you gather with others in a public fishing hole, you’re bound to bump heads with others who don’t know the rules, or know but still don’t care. Glad you’re safe and had a great time. Hopefully those lawbreakers were caught!!
This is why I pay up to go to Alaska. Fishing under these circumstances isn't fun. The whole scene here is pathetic all around.
Flossing is legal in Washington as long as your leader is not above a certain length. You can legally keep fish hooked on the outside of the head.
You didnt catch a salmon there either they do not bite in that kind of situation! you snagged them also
How is this even legal to fish there? If this was Oregon this area would be consider spawning grounds and illegal to fish. We have even larger bodies of water than that considered spawning grounds. Still messed up what they are doing.
Zero chance of successful reproduction. They go through the motions but the water quality sucks.
Yall pretty calm, if it was me there and I see that, I'd be throwing hands with them poachers...
I dnot have words to describe this.
You were so calm about it and kept your cool. Some people are too entitled. Glad you reported. Be safe out there.
We have this same problem in Sacramento,CA. It’s unbelievable. And ppl wonder why we can’t have nice things and certain areas available to fish anymore. Scumbags.
good for you! Ive never seen such gross behavior on the river and I never thought Id say that lol
You must not have spent very much time on the river during the salmons runs then as this type of illegal behavior is pretty common place in places that are easily accessible to "city dwellers" and from the looks of all the graffiti that is all over the place this "spot" looks pretty damn accessible. I think I saw a homeless camp in the background lol
People claim king salmon don’t bite where I live in New York aka the salmon river but I think that’s a lie I think they just feel allot of pressure and won’t bite cause it’s always over crowded what’s your opinion on this? Flossing is legal here probably for that reason
Facts
Same thing with my river but you just gotta irritate them enough
If you look at the one short I uploaded and read the comments some idiot was talking about “not snitching” about snagging which is total bs
It's easy for people who drive $80-100k vehicles and tote around $1k + worth of gear to throw stones. Two years ago, I would have been angry and lecturing those guys right there with you. But now that $200 doesn't even fill my cart full of groceries, there's no way I'm going to cast stones, lecture or snitch on anyone. I'm just going to keep thanking God that He hasn't brought me so low that I have to resort to unsportsmanlike tactics to feed my family! 🙏
Where is this located at. I don't want the river name. Just the city. Been wanna to do some salmon fishing
This is part of the Milwaukee and Menominee river.
I would have been on the phone with the DNR at the moment they started doing this in front of me.
It hurts my heart to see my Pacific Northwest salmon being treated in this way. Don't worry, we have plenty of people up here who do the same thing. It's mostly people who don't speak English and use it as an excuse.
How a relaxing day turns into stressful day because of idiots
I never confronted these people because these fish look disgusting at this point. This place has always been rife with snag and netters. Some people jump right in and grab them.
But not going to lie there have been times where one day I'll see over 20 salmon at the mouth of the creek where they have to go up. And the next day they'll all be gone.
Tough to watch. Had to skip around but got the idea. I never fished for Salmon before and always wanted to but these experiences definitely made me feel pretty uncomfortable.
Not even sure what to say...glad ya'll still had a good time out there.
I got a question about salmon fishing are you allowed to do a technique called flossing some guy told me about it well I was fishing
I believe it’s illegal in Wisconsin. Best way to find out for sure is to call an conservation warden in the area. Their phone # can be found on the WI DNR website, I think it was. I’ve heard that as long as fish is caught in the mouth, it is a legal caught fish. These fish will bite flies and lures and skein/spawn sacs. Best way is to annoy them by constantly getting bait towards them, and they will bite out of reaction. They are constantly chasing each other and biting each other, and they’ll bite whatever annoys them. The video with my coho salmon, you can clearly see the coho turn it’s head to bite my fly as soon as I got my fly right in front of it. It’s really a game of patience at times with these fish. All fish caught were reaction biters. Hope this helps. Good luck! The salmon should be coming in soon, if not already in the tribes.
That’s is some nasty ass fish to keep
Why are you keeping those? Those nasty spawned out kings taste terrible…prolly get sick
if you care so much about the salmon,show that by helping clean up that area, sounds like you fish there often, maybe clean it up!!! get that broken net out of the water, get the tarp out, stack it on the shore at the least, showing the fish some respect so they have a clean habitat to spawn. snagging is a problem but it is the last problem in this video .
Hi Todd it geo from stclair shores
Scaring the fish... 😂😂😂 bruh you are fishing in 5" of water.
How embarrassing
i live in WA state, we del with guys like this here !! good job.
Dang! Sorry you guys had to experience this. Thats some poor fishing etiquette. Thats not fun at all.
Where do you catch this crik, can you give me the location?
Milwaukee river
Respect man, I love chasing kings on the fly, we deal with the same thing in Ny. Have no issues calling a Conservation Officer if I see fools lifting fish. Where I live in NH we have a small run of Atlantic Salmon and it’s a stream of this same size and people will snag them and the local wardens are busy with deer season so it being a fly fishing only area we self police, I’ve seen people be forced to leave and much worse. I wish it didn’t come to that but the Salmon hit streamers and nymphs like crazy so there’s no reason to snag other than people being impatient fucks.
Beautiful fish you got!! Epic catch man but wtf!? that was shamelessness at its finest. I’ve never ever seen anything so ridiculous.. glad you filmed that.. hope the fish and game wardens start monitoring that spot or at least catches those guys
What river is this
Part of the Milwaukee river system.
Damm those are some boots! 😂
Glad ya kept your cool. With me somehow a sinker would’ve flew to their heads! 🤷♂️
This is why i have the game wardens phone numbers saved in my phone. Give them a chance and educate them and once they knowingly start breaking the laws im making a phobe call.
This is wild, I never seen so little fishing etiquette before in my life...no respect common courtesy, nothing smh
At time stamp 9:52 when all those fish move up I just thought wow at my secret hole there has been maybe 1/3 that many fish at most
Keep up the great fishing man👍
@@WildUrbanAdventures that that’s really pretty sad
At the river I fish I usually just floss the fish because they are under the pressure of 100s of other anglers so they won’t hit anything
Tho I do release all the fish I catch and because my dad refuses to eat the white meat anyway
Don’t mind telling the location would love to go try it out
These are all in the Milwaukee area. Lots of great spots to hit up, but also be aware of your surroundings as lots of weird people around. Good luck!
I don't want you guys to get in trouble, but I got DNR on speed dial. SMH
What is the location I want to go fishing 🎣?
Part of the Milwaukee river.
I learned that I could drive to an hour to Wisconsin and to my disappointment I saw a lot of that..
We called those zombies here in Washington 😂
Depending on your state..native people can snag or net.
Yeah!!!!! Alaska was mentioned...
@@WildUrbanAdventures I decline there application bro we do snagging and dipnetting but with sportsmanship 😂
Does the DNR seize the equipment used in poaching? Meaning rods, waders, nets, vehicles, boats...usually not a deterrent untl after poachers are caught, but after seizures poaching becomes more difficult. Plus meaningful fines...
And then sold with proceeds going to DNR/restocking efforts...
They usually won't seize anything for the first offense but you'll get a fine, they will take your gear on the second offense, but not your car, just the gear used to fish.
Anti flossing? Snagging in mouth? I get not dragging a treble into the fish but fish hit those beads just like anything else.
Yes, these fish still hit flies and beads. I have another vid with a coho taking in my fly. They are reactive biters during the spawning runs and not actively feeding.
Why not call right then while filming?
Why didnt you call the police to come down
i would call the warden in a heartbeat
What is with the Midwest boot fishermen?
He’s on the bank yet not in the river but says they took his spot no you were on shore
This is why I don't bank fish on weekends or evenings. Drives me nuts.
What part of Wisconsin is this
All missing is the grills and beers ….close the border close the border
I would keep casting in the same area hoping to snag a leg or a net of the jerks illegally netting
Those nasty kings bring out the best in people. 😆
I see snaggers ever year. I always wanna say something but also don’t want to start fights. It does piss me off tho.
@MADE IN SPAIN676🇪🇸 no
hi sir where is this place in racine wisconsin
This spot in Milwaukee area.
@@WildUrbanAdventures i wana go there sir if you can plz give address i will really appreciate it thank you so much for replying
Wow what a gong show, I'd find somewhere else to fish, maybe some bigger water elsewhere.
Yup would've definitely call the game warden. No sportsmanship at all. Plus I see no point of them snagging when ya was actually getting them to bite.
Yea its hard to watch this video bc of those poachers... but was a good video! Hope the DNR gets those guys
Salmon don't feed in streams while spawning
Yes, you are correct they don’t feed. But they do reaction bite and will bite baits, flies etc. Just gotta keep annoying them.
Where is this?
Oh..so y'all been invaded by imigrents too
That’s horrible ! I can’t believe those guys were that careless . Then your buddy looses his first king to that stooge ! Man !!
Guy flosses then complains about other flosses
See this all too often on the root and pike rivers. side note you’d absolutely hate fishing the oak creek 😂
The root and oak creek are really bad but the pike not as much
This is what happens when you open the borders!!!
What’s the point of that
It can’t even be fun netting and snagging these salmon
