LFG, if it makes you feel any better I had to wait about 4 hours for the wind to blow my boat across Lake Eufaula during a storm 2 weeks ago. Talk about nerve racking. Hoping my boat got to me before the pouring rain filled it up!
I suggested completely covering the coup with chicken wire several times before. Glad you are going that route. Every place I and my family has visited with coups like yours have been completely covered that way. So cool to see Emmy out enjoying the snow and improving her vocabulary. I don't understand why more of LFG subscribers don't sub to LLF... Almost there. Can't wait for you to hit that mark to get the comments turned on. And for LFG to get to the 1,000,000 mark. God bless LLF !!!!! 🕊️🙏❤️🕊️🙏❤️🕊️🙏❤️From Philly 🥨🥨 🥨🍺🍺🍺👍👍😜
Once upon a time my girlfriend, now wife tossed my anchor down and said it was set. I was in the water spearfishing at a jet when all of a sudden I look up to see my boat about to run over me. I quickly climbed in and moved it away from the jetty. She somehow had untied the anchor rope from the boat and forgot to secure it back. I had to dive down and retrieve everything. She still tells the story to our kids. Oh the good old days of being young and durable. Carry on.
I built a garden cage the size of a chicken coop with $25 worth of wire fencing a few years ago. I ran out for the fourth wall, so I finished it with deer netting. Later that summer I saw where deer had tried to doze through the deer netting and it held tight. To be fair to them it was made of black plastic and they could not not see what was holding them back from bumper crop green beans, cukes, and other vegs. I made a door into it by sewing on the zippered doorway from an old unusuable tent. Keep those chickens safe, they are counting on you! By and by your yards will be beautiful. Good rope work, way to stay calm in an emergency.
It is situations like this where I am glad I have an Ulterra trolling motor. I have never used it to launch or had to use it to get my boat back but I could tell it to deploy and come back if needed.

I always have a 50 foot lead rope tied from the front of the boat to the trailer when launching by myself. Back it in, float the boat off, pull the trailer out from under the floating boat, step out, pull the boat in, tie it off, go park the truck. Worked great...right up until I backed it in just a little too fast. The boat floated back fast enough that it snapped the rope. That was a fun swim...in Michigan...in March.
That happened to me when my boat was new. Same kind of day, but the wind was blowing and I had to swim way out into the lake to catch my boat. Couldn't get in it, had to swim and pull the boat with my finger in the front ring! Thought I was going to drown. Just made it back to where I could touch the bottom with my big toe, then I knew I was ok. Ever since, I use a rope to hold the boat when I am launching it by myself.
For the Crispy Collector-Build an inverted-V shaped PVC Frame the length of the boat, attach with hinges to a 4x4 frame built from the ground at the end of the driveway, add tightly pulled tarp with grommets, lift frame/tarp, and park Crispy Collector underneath, lower frame/tarp and secure at the bow.
I know it wasnt funny to you but I was highly entertained. Long time ago a buddy and I put my jon boat on a river that had about 10 feet of 2 inch ice along the bank where we could launch. I backed the boat and trailer over near edge of river. We then eased off the trailer on to the ice where I thought it would break through. But it didnt, but figured after we boarded it surely would and we could hang over the front with a paddle and crack a path in the ice to open water. When I went to park the truck and trailer, my buddy decided to get in the boat. He bent over and grabbed the front of the boat and slipped pushing the boat out on the ice almost to the open water where the back 3 ft of boat was in river and rest on ice.. No way we could walk out on ice and only rope was in the boat tied to front. eventually the current pulled the boat on the slick ice right out in the current. then current pulled it around and down the river it started to float. There was a low bridge about 8 ft off the river and the boat would have to pass under it. We got to the bridge and as my boat approached I crawled down and hung by my hands over the river and when the boat passed under me I dropped about a foot into the boat, lowered the motor and pulled over to the bank and picked up my buddy and off we went. Young and stupid...never would I now hang off a bridge over 35 degree water and drop into a boat..., no way....,
I literally just purchased an Ulterra for its self deploying abilities - this is perfect affirmation! 😂 I have to say it’s always nice to see when someone that’s not me make a bonehead move! Thanks for sharing and not editing it out!
😂 U got way luckier than I did though! My boat floated to the middle of the creek with the outboard still running.😂 Then I had 3 other people pull in the beginning of the creek then turn around, so I couldn’t get them to help me. Eventually I said forget it and swam for it. I’m glad it was summertime though. Welcome to the club!😂😂😂
Man I just want to say that you are one class act! I recently started an outdoor channel and just got 1000 subs last week, it’s your channel and others like yours that motivate me to keep going with the grind!
Texas Jungle I just subscribed and have not finished this video yet I'm in Tyler area of Texas so I'm just making sure our own is followed good luck with your channel
I think I subbed your channel on my personal account. Good stuff. It was all the pet tortoises that sold me even before I started watching the other videos. LOL Just subbed from this one too.
I did that a couple springs ago. Water temp was just over 40 degrees and I had also forgotten to put the plug in. It was a cold swim to drag the boat back to shore.
I can’t remember exactly how but my grandpa always kept a rope tied to where the winch hooks on the front of the boat and then tied off to the trailer but with enough slack to get it off the trailer and then he would climb back and untie her and tie her up to the dock at least that’s how I remember it being until I was old enough to hold the rope
Use the black plastic safety fence for the chicken coop enclosure. The chicken wire will rust out in a couple years and develop easy access holes for critters. Or better yet, use the same welded wire on top that you have on the sides, she'd be bullet proof then.
No it doesn't. My father has had a radio under his coupe for years. He hasent had a problem with wildlife since. He did that after he found one of his ducks heads ripped off. The constant sound of a talk show makes it seem like there is always someone always there. With wild animals not liking bein around humans or sound. It works very well.
Haha... Been there done that ! It was like 45,° so swimming after it was NOT and option... Thankfully we had a nice guy grab it for us and brought it back to the ramp.... Everyone got a good laugh at my expense but hey... got the boat back without getting wet... Anything can happen on the water...
LFG I hope you get to feeling better soon buddy!! I’m guessing your lovely daughter gave you what she had?? Well she is very sorry for making you sick also!! Lol get better soon buddy!!
Mine has done that to me. The safety cable broke when i was backing it in right after ice out on pool 10 of the mississippi. Water temp that morning was 34° so you could say that was one cold swim lol.
Lfg great call on a full enclosure. The hawks and eagles can get your birds also if it's not 100% closed. If your up to it I can send you a few baby chicks in the spring. Free.
Can you do a video of getting on and off bank onto boat. I’ve had 2 total knee replacements due to bone cancer at 17 and no ligaments left in right knee so is there a way to keep boat still against bank if there’s no dock or person with you so I don’t hurt myself? Any advice would be much appreciated
Thank you for keeping it real! Sometimes you lose your boat and get skunked. But you didnt take the easy way out and fish stock pond or edit out the mistakes. Keep it real!!!!!!!
@Josh Smith If I understand it correctly he basically gets to "use" these boats for a year or two in part from a local boat dealer Fun n Suns for his endorsment.
I was afraid LFG was going to have to strip off and go in to save it ! Now he knows to keep a nice long rope between the boat and trailer now so lesson learned.
That aint nothin'. I was putting my floundering boat in during a strong outgoing tide and forgot to latch the rope to the trailer. I had to jump in with all my crap in my pockets, shoes, hat, etc. Had to swim at least 100 feet. All while another guy was waiting to put his boat in watching me. Well that was embarrassing.
If you want to keep the water from pooling up on your boat cover... use 1/2 inch pvc to make arches to create a raised cover. The water will roll off and not pool up. Each arch made of 2 T fittings and 1 straight piece trimmed to desired length for height T fitting on each end with 6” feet to each side. Works great.
Have you tried making your own rod? Looks really interesting how to get rods "on spine" as apparently most companies don't check as it's all automated.Maybe a 10ft role tied from trailer to boat lol.ThankQ.TkEZ>UK
That's why I always tie a 25-foot 1/2 safety rope on the bow of my boat to my trailer. With Clips on both ends. During launch in the boat remove the clip. Park the boat on the dock. Unclip the Rope 2 the trailer and park the trailer. Always
Yes LFG, I was entertained. Glad that I'm not the only one that has happened to. Feel better.
LFG, if it makes you feel any better I had to wait about 4 hours for the wind to blow my boat across Lake Eufaula during a storm 2 weeks ago. Talk about nerve racking. Hoping my boat got to me before the pouring rain filled it up!
I've unfortunately gone swimming after a jon boat in 40 degree temps before. I'd have dived in head-first chasing a boat that nice.
The boat was so READY to fish it didn’t want to wait.
“Please lord let this rope go around this power pole” as soon as he catches the boat “Hell Yea” lol
Didn't catch the power pole lol

Wow.
LFG, that was entertaining to be sure. So glad you video the "bad" times along with the "good" times - it makes you REAL !!! YEA ! FOR YOU !!

I always leave the wench belt hooked up and release about 3 ft then lock the winch when I’m by my self. Good catch on getting it back!
No fish but a very entertaining video. Thanks for sticking in there. 🖒
I love that you respect the building enough to wash the truck and boat before bringing her back!

Justin, I made you a roping exercise appointment for next Thursday. Mark it on your calendar 👍🏼
LFG vlogs are the best baby! Love making fishing content! Lots of work to keep on pumping out content! Love these uploads man! Keeps me going!
BassNBuck’ s talking about keep on going. Your videos keep me going. Love your channel man. When’s your next upload?
I see you had your classic bill dance moment this is one you got to remember LoL
You’re a brave man and that was very entertaining. It’s all good LFG! Things happen to many of us, and that’s how we learn. I’ve had my fair share
5:50 it's a good thing your a real Texan. Never know when yer gonna need to lasso something. At least ya caught a boat !
I was saying the same thing lol
@@joesguiltyguitar . I'm the drastic drummer. Hello from N.Y.
Except he clearly has never roped in his life LOL
I literally just purchased an Ulterra for its self deploying abilities - this is perfect affirmation! 😂 I have to say it’s always nice to see when someone that’s not me make a bonehead move! Thanks for sharing and not editing it out!

Oh man happy you saved the boat!!! You are a better man then me I wanted have went home ASAP.
I thought everybody in Texas knew how to lasso….and I was right. Dale yeah!
I fish that lake all the time. Usually why I'm late to work. Caught a 30lb flathead in the spillway with a cast net this past summer. Good vid.
Just getting out one the Lake, is worth a big thumbs up. 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 loved the lasso tries. Amazing we give it to God and it all works out. ~ Texas
Love that you shared this it happens to the best of us.

Rocky Reynolds thanks!
I think I subbed your channel on my personal account. Good stuff. It was all the pet tortoises that sold me even before I started watching the other videos. LOL Just subbed from this one too.
Fire Turtle Adventures thanks!
Can you do a video all about boating. From launching to plaining,trimming, how shallow is to shallow and loading.
I did that a couple springs ago. Water temp was just over 40 degrees and I had also forgotten to put the plug in. It was a cold swim to drag the boat back to shore.
Glad you got your boat back. Feel better sir. Love your vids
I have to tell you LFG I was quite entertained watching you retrieve your boat.
I can’t remember exactly how but my grandpa always kept a rope tied to where the winch hooks on the front of the boat and then tied off to the trailer but with enough slack to get it off the trailer and then he would climb back and untie her and tie her up to the dock at least that’s how I remember it being until I was old enough to hold the rope
RcBasher5000 I do the same
your grandpa was not a googan.

Solid start. Way to stay calm under pressure
0:37 looks like OSG has a new ride to👍👍 if I am not wrong, it is the VW Atlas, great choice!!
Showing this made me subscribe. Shit happens and most people don’t show a fail. Thanks for being real
Your boots got wet but you didn’t have to go for a swim, I would say that’s a win!
Glad it wasn't a fast drifting boat ! I went out this afternoon and got skunked.. called it a day around 4pm and headed home here in Central Texas
3:38 for your chickens, place down a radio next to or under the coupe, on a random talk show. Shouldn't have have a problem with wild animals.
Sounds like a good idea never heard of it, wouldn't stress out/ drive the chickens crazy? Just curious
No it doesn't. My father has had a radio under his coupe for years. He hasent had a problem with wildlife since. He did that after he found one of his ducks heads ripped off. The constant sound of a talk show makes it seem like there is always someone always there. With wild animals not liking bein around humans or sound. It works very well.
Agreed... we do it with garages so mice dont come in. It works like a champ!
Chickens prefer classical music. Opera, not so much.
" this is no taco bueno"😂🤣
Definitely a racklinsky moment! Lol rough day at the ramp! Love the channel and your vids Justin!
LFG they make a troller motor that's wireless and goes around your wrist. You can Launch it unattended and then have it come back to you at the dock
Haha... Been there done that ! It was like 45,° so swimming after it was NOT and option... Thankfully we had a nice guy grab it for us and brought it back to the ramp.... Everyone got a good laugh at my expense but hey... got the boat back without getting wet... Anything can happen on the water...
You need to call flair and have him come and trap the invasive critters
I’m just glad Justin finally got a 4x4, he’s had me worried multiple times
Health & Safety First! Get well soon...
Off the subject my company NDS makes drainage stuff pretty cool to see our parts in the video, fish on LFG
LFG I hope you get to feeling better soon buddy!! I’m guessing your lovely daughter gave you what she had?? Well she is very sorry for making you sick also!! Lol get better soon buddy!!
Mine has done that to me. The safety cable broke when i was backing it in right after ice out on pool 10 of the mississippi. Water temp that morning was 34° so you could say that was one cold swim lol.

You are going that extra mile for our entertainment! Take care LFG!
What rod is that black and red reel on? The rod with the full cork handle.
That smallmouth was a monster! Way to lasso your boat! :)
Busting a gut here lol. That was classic, thanks for showing the flubs. Great video bub
Can you do a video of getting on and off bank onto boat. I’ve had 2 total knee replacements due to bone cancer at 17 and no ligaments left in right knee so is there a way to keep boat still against bank if there’s no dock or person with you so I don’t hurt myself?

He did throw in him hooking a big smallie on a separate day at the end😉🤣
Highly entertained! I was backseat driving the whole time you were running back and forth like, I KNOW LFG has some rope in that truck.
13:27 Does anyone know the name of this reel? I've seen a bunch of youtubers using it all of a sudden and don't know what it is...
Man I would have jump in head first to get that boat. Glad you were able to recover it.
Lakeforkguy out here ranglin’ boats!!! 🔥😂 you gotta do what you gotta do to get the dangle!
Too funny!! Justin, you're entertaining to say the least.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thank the God that commands the wind for a calm day!
I did that at lake Medina a few weeks ago since the lake has been so low in the winter. I had to swim about waste deep. Not a good time.
Why hasn’t anyone invented a remote controlled trolling motor in the back of the boat for single handed boat launches?
jay west been around for years.
they have that, but you cant deploy the trolling motor while on the trailer, unless you want it broke off.
Minn kota ulterra on my boat does that.
@Josh Smith If I understand it correctly he basically gets to "use" these boats for a year or two in part from a local boat dealer Fun n Suns for his endorsment.
Just put a s-clip on your belt and tie a long ass line to the boat, then it witn drag you and you can pull it to you
I was afraid LFG was going to have to strip off and go in to save it ! Now he knows to keep a nice long rope between the boat and trailer now so lesson learned.
How does the truck tow?
That's when your inner cowboy comes out. Lasso that boat back to shore.
That aint nothin'. I was putting my floundering boat in during a strong outgoing tide and forgot to latch the rope to the trailer. I had to jump in with all my crap in my pockets, shoes, hat, etc. Had to swim at least 100 feet. All while another guy was waiting to put his boat in watching me. Well that was embarrassing.
Did you get your water boots you put on ground??
What rod are you using LFG
If you want to keep the water from pooling up on your boat cover... use 1/2 inch pvc to make arches to create a raised cover. The water will roll off and not pool up. Each arch made of 2 T fittings and 1 straight piece trimmed to desired length for height T fitting on each end with 6” feet to each side. Works great.
Hey atleatd you caught two things a cold and a bass boat. Great job.
AWESOME START TO FISHING

Hope you feel better soon Mr.LFG..
Get well soon!!!
Finally, some Cowboy Stuff with the Lasso !!
Patrick Benoit lol 😝 ~ Texas
Gotta give props for lassoing your boat in
I stopped watching the channel for the fishing a while back. I still watch it, but for the comedy. :)
I got skunked today here on the CA Delta. You make me not feel as bad lol thanks
bet you wish you had had a Minn Kota ulterra, for the self-deploying feature, glad it worked out
When yall gonna show us those googan squad rods
Yea I saw the logos on the end of the rod!
LFG do I see some foundation cracking there beside the garage?
Yee yee brother keep up the good work. Your KILLING it.
frame 8:01, sounded like.👺
a big old ruster ,tryed to fly the boat away.🤠
when your back was turned.🤙
That’s a new PB how much does the boat weigh
You need you a gen-y glider hitch. Has a shock absorbing system built in
I'm betting lunkers is crying right now laughing so hard
