Mississippi River Expedition with Clay and Brent
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Clay Newcomb and Brent Reaves embark on an iconic expedition down the Mississippi River. Their journey begins with a 250 mile boat ride with their custom SeaArk boat, Laura, down the very the same waters explored by foundational players of American history such as Crockett, Collier, and Mark Twain. After two days, 250 miles, and downright soggy weather, Clay and Brent dry off and get down to hunting business. In the morning, the boys join friend, Lake Pickle, for a flooded timber duck hunt. With weather less favorable for waterfowl, they switch their aim to whitetails which turns much more prosperous. Ducks, deer, hogs, and bucket list adventure all checked off the list.

The beginning of last year I heard Mr Brent Reaves talking about some of his law enforcement past on a podcast. We exchanged a few messages and I had shared with him that the officer who arrested me years back probably didn't know it but he changed my life that day. I shared how that arrest lead to me getting clean from a horrible drug addiction, and that later that year I would be celebrating 5 years clean. Months later on June 9th I woke up and found a video message from Mr Reaves congratulating me on my 5 year mark, and offering some kind, encouraging words. I'm a total stranger to him. The fact that he would mark that day on his calendar and reach out meant a lot. And also says a lot about his character. I believe these are truly good folks, and I look forward to every podcast, video, and book they create. Maybe someday I'll get an opportunity to introduce myself, and shake his hand.
Incredible guy.
That’s a man of Christ for you.
This is quickly becoming my favorite duo to watch
Meee toooo
Uncle Brent, Hello from FL. I'm so happy to see you on the small screen. I love your Podcast and can't wait for the new episode every week. Keep sharing your love for the outdoors, some of us have fallen in love with it thanks to your teachings.
A once and a live time float. Gods Grace to your objective and family!
I don’t blame you clay for wanting to just go down the river. Sure you could have driven to where u where hunting in 4-5hours but instead you to 2 days and now have a beautiful memory for life. We rush to much of our lives now and don’t make enough memories.
Clay has become a MeatEater favorite!! Always dropping fascinating knowledge and doing awesome hunts, fishing trips and adventures! Brent is great too, this is a really great adventure and episode!
Should do more videos like this. It was really fun to watch!
My all time favorites!! Brent & Clay!!!!
Really? 😂
@@IAmAMeateateryep. Brent and Clay seem like genuinely good guys, with good senses of humor and likable personalities. Janis fits into that same category. They are the best MeatEater has to offer.
@@SammyMoore-tg5gs hard agree. Janis, Element boys, Brent & Clay really make this channel worth following
It’s nice to watch humble good people doing outdoor stuff!
I have to say , the way clay narrates these is top notch! Becoming my favorite to watch
I am **so** impressed with that shot Brent took. Holy Moly the freakin tree swayin like that and ever'thang! NICE job sir. And congrats to Clay on some wonderful freezer-fillers!
Two of the best guys ever in the hunting media industry!!
What a shot on that buck, that footage is amazing. The trees swinging all over the place in the wind, I was thinking there is no way I would be able to squeeze a shot through that. WAY TO GO!
More adventure stories like this please!
That was a heck of a video. Y’all need to do a whole season of Brent and Clay videos.
Hell of an episode guys always a pleasure to watch!!! Just wanted to say as a person in the Coast Guard that has worked the Arkansas River and the Mississippi River, we are the ones who do all the AIDS to Navigation on the river!!! Just wanted to throw that out there guys!! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Clay man I really enjoy your adventures. Definitely my favorite outdoor show. Man I need to go hunting lol.
Love that enclosed canopy on the jon boat.
love the Brent and Clay combo!!
That was fun to watch - always enjoy Brent and Clay's expeditions together!
Awesome idea and footage! Now it’s time for Clay to come down to Louisiana to catch some reds, trout, shrimp and crabs while eating crawfish and some fried catfish. Absolutely the best exploring/hunting content on the web. Keep it up Clay, and if you ever need a “tour guide” for south La hit me up
You 2 clowns are awesome! Thanks for sharing history and lore of the muddy miss. I am attempting to get an archery buck in all the Iowa counties along the river. Got 4/10 tags filled so there's altleast 6 more years of adventures to go before conquering the challenge
Doesn't get any better! Cheers fellas.
The best duo on UA-cam
This is probably the coolest hunting video I’ve ever watched!! Awesome!!!
Boy that was fun! So glad for both of you. I am not a hunter. but everyone associated with "MeatEater" are class acts.
Lake Pickle is a perfect name for a guest on this series
Brent’s a cool dude! Him a Clay are a good watch together 👌🏼
Love watching you guys, I rode up and down that river for many years on those red top boats you had in the video, now i just work on them.
Awesome experience, thanks for sharing it with us and keep them coming please.
BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME, MAKING THIS LOWER ALABAMA BOY MISS HOME.
easily one of the best duos on Meateater (The Element boys are also up there) you can really tell how good of friends they are
Such a great adventure! Really enjoy Clay and Brent hunting together. More, please. Huge respect to both of you!
Great video Clay and Meateater crew! Always putting out bangers !
My phone must’ve been broke when Clay called to invite me on that bad ass adventure. That was awesome boys good work!
Have to say that it’s great to see someone on UA-cam, shoot a button buck and say they’ll probably make the same mistake again. I only started hunting when I was in my 30s and my first deer was a button buck. Felt real torn up about it at the time, but now just see it as part of the learning experience.
I came to read the comments of whether other people liked clay as much as I was starting like him, he's just a solid funny character, more videos of him
Man you packed 8 days into 34 minutes, I wanted it to be longer. You guys are great. Keep it up.
Excellent!. Best episode yet!
Canoed the whole river back in 76 ... Made around 30 miles a day...
Why you lying
Love it,,Lake Pickel is/was with Premo's outdoors great camera man
Great episode!
I feel like I’m watching an episode of Bear Grease and it’s awesome!🐻🇺🇸
Great segment.
Just watched this. Let you know, after listeningto Bear Grease, I thought Brent would have a dark brown beard. 😂 I got a good dove story or a couple deer stories from my step-dad if you want me to write. Love all your stories, from both of you.
Heck yeah. The turkey calling king chasing some other animals
Should’ve been Jani vs Tony
I wanna see a collaboration with outdoor boys in Alaska PLEASEEEE!!
Clay what a great video man. Love to see y'all's hard work pay off. Keep it up guys. God bless
Lol that sidebar gaze at the camera when clay was talking about that sandbar
Meateater and Primos crew working together!
another piece of outstanding content from the maeteater family
I’m commenting at the point where they are camping out, and I’m very envious. What a fun adventure!
Another great episode! Take me to your journey Steve I always wanted to experience your hunting ways! All love from Philippines! ❤❤
What a great adventure!
Nothing like hunting that cold morning as soon as it gets done raining. add the rut. game time
Loved it
Brent's look at Clay at 10:24 is priceless
My favorite fellas on UA-cam. Arkansas makes some damn good men brother. 😉
Coming from MN near the Mississippi river.
Use a one or two ounce slip weight depending on the current from shore with a shiner or fathead
minnow and a circle or hybrid j hook . Loop a rubber band on the handle of your fishing pole below the reel, open your bail, loosely tuck the line under the rubber band and set the pole up on Y stick. Crack a six pack and watch the tip of the rod. Recast after 45 minutes.. ish
Entirely different ballgame down here, brother. You are wasting time with any sinker under 6 ounces and usually takes 8+ to keep it on the bottom. Other than that, we fish similarly. Down this far you're going to want to use different bait fish. Gizzard shad, Asian carp, crappie, bream and bass(white or largemouth/Florida bass) are the best bet.
@@brandonparker6753 so you're saying.. I should get back into the big currents in the mighty Mississippi? Fish are picky! I enjoy some slower currents
Damn Clay likes Half & Half with coffee lol!!
lol nah… he likes a little coffee with his half & half.
Take a shot every time clay says Mississippi River
Father of rivers*
I tried rhat andnd jdjsi cany sklell
Heads up for the ones reading this before watching the vid… within the first 3 mins the word ‘Mississippi’ is mentioned 9 times 🤣 good luck
Ok. I've always wanted to die from alcohol poisoning
Did it. Am dead now. 😂😂😂
Sweet episode!
I really enjoy clay and Brent
Epic!!!
👍🐿👍awesome adventure.
That might have been the best meat eater episode of all time.
Clay for President.
Can we talk about how impressive Brent's shot is from a moving tree with a rifle?
Went duck hunting for the first time on that river this year, would have been sweet to run into them!
Must be an Arkansas thing, but what you call "inside" the levee, we have always called "outside" the levee. Inside of the levee is the portion of land that is protected by the levee, and outside the levee is the land that floods. If you were talking to somebody and they said "man they are really killing the ducks outside the levee", that meant they were hunting on the river side of the levee.
Awesome episode, I loved it.
I love your guy’s videos. I don’t understand how you don’t have 3mil subscribers. I’m set comfy in my work van relaxing before a job, don’t envy them sitting in a tree stand.
I just ripped a real long hard rumbler… felt like someone slowly dragged a piece of barb wire between my cheeks.
Keep living the dream and keep them cameras on
10:27 Brent’s look LOL!!!!!!
Coast Guard services the buoys sir. I was the XPO on the CGC KANKAKEE out of Memphis. All the bank lights too.
Brent looking at the camera after Clay told him they would have been pushing the boat if they followed his plan.. 😂
always makes my day when these 2 are out doing fun stuff👍👍👍
Let's go!
Great video
Name a more iconic duo.
You guys should head up to Northen MN at the Mississippi rivers headwaters where you can step across it
When you're social media famous you get a pass for shooting immature rack bucks and knot heads on prime ground. Ha. Fantastic video. I've hunted all up and down the Big River in Mississippi. So I enjoyed this one a little more than most of the videos...which are all great.
Such a great episode! Now I have to find out how part of the Mississippi is over 400 feet below sea level
I think he said the riverbed was 400 feet below sea level - that is obviously quite different to the surface of the river, which wouldn’t really work!
That makes more sense! I was trying to imagine how that would work, haha! I looked it up and they are actually working to install underwater dams that will help stop salt water from flowing upstream below the fresh water, in order to preserve the ecosystem
"Don't touch my horn" 😂
The Primos boys took care of Meateater. Good to see.
For sure.
Tip of the hat running “The River” from Memphis to Mayersville.
I don’t know why but I was a lil shocked Brent shoots a bow. He just seems so practical I thought he’d be a rifle only guy. Anyways…
Good work boys!
Dude loves the Mississippi River
10:25 this little back-and-forth make me belly laugh
Red right returning is a good way to figure out bouys
Theeee best
“Well, you aren’t Daniel Boone, sir.” LOL
Clay is meateater!
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles and they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em, on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!!!
Man you came to Memphis?!?!?
I just had the sudden urge to buy 15 jet boils
Brent and clay are the only part of meat eater I watch or care about.
I wish you guys would tell us about your rifle, bow and shotgun set ups
What jacket is Brent wearing at the end? The brown one
The alegash mountains are from Maine the adriondaks are from Ny
Brent with the SXS shotgun!
