- In this episode I'm finishing up my time in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with John Peppin from UP Kayak Anglers, and we're fishing the mouth of the Cedar River on Lake Michigan for BIG smallmouth bass. Then I get pulled over by a fish and game officer, and a bone-headed mistake costs me bigtime.

Glad we were able to get together!!! Next time we need to plan for a spring trip, then we can stick a 20”+ Smallie!!! Safe travels bro!
ouch...kudos to you for being transparent....everyone should learn from your mistake...Good on ya!!!
Agreed. It takes character to admit you made a mistake and then put it out there for others to learn from. RESPECT.
I'm glad to see you fishing the great lakes. Up until recently we haven't seen many kayak fisherman out on the big lakes. It's guys like you that spark the interest, it is a bit risky out there I think. Compared to the warm ocean water and salt water buoyancy, hard to say what's more dangerous The warm ocean waters you have creatures that can eat you where is here in the great lakes, you'll die of hypothermia before getting eaten by a fish.
Opportunities at every turn !!!
There’s nothing better than Great Lakes smallmouth in the spring !!!!
Bummer about the citation - good on you for keeping your chin up and owning the mistake! That looked like an epic day on the water, so congrats on that!
Should have bought a years license on your phone while peddling in.
Broooo!!! GREAT Smallie at 12 minutes!! Congrats, Rob.
Bro thats terrible man! Thats a hefty fined. You r honest about not having a license that day, not keeping fish, he could’ve just give you a warning instead. But hey like you said he’s just doing his job. I salute u for admitting your mistake. Epic smallmouth fishing to say the least😉🎣
Was awesome to see this episode in the U.P. with my boy Johnny P!!
Nicely done! Glad I could help introduce you guys!
Just learned the tube this summer. Had some great success with it. Rigging it the same way.
Glad to see you made it up to the U.P., eh.
Love your videos and hope you stay safe with all the stuff that’s happenin.
It happens... All good! You should try Glen Lake for small mouth action sometime! It’s about 1/2 hour southwest of Traverse City in Benzie County. Gorgeous glacier lake. Super clear water... Huge smallies! (love the channel) 🤙🏾
Stall for time and buy it on your phone. The confirmation email has all the info they need and it will have the date.
The tubes are great for imitating goby, sculpin, and darters - bottom hugging treats.
st least you were honest about it and showed the video.... good for you
Love some bass fishing!
That totally sucks, happened to me once up here in Alberta, I bought my licence in February to go ice fishing and didn’t read the regulations, it expired in the spring and I thought it was good for the year. $175.00 ticket but he let me come into the office the next day with a new license and he tore up the ticket👍
Awesome guy !
Great catch and nice strike..!! Cool fishing video..!! Powerful..!!!
Awsooome video brother nice smallmouth bass trip is always fuuun
I go to cedar river a lot for salmon in the summer. My dad runs a tournament up there we camp in the parking lot I caught a 4 pound smallie right off the ramp on a spoon cuz that’s all I had with lol
That's tough Robert! It happens though!
For the record, I know without a shadow of a doubt this was an honest mistake, and one he will never make again!!! Good video bro!!! When will we see another catch n’ cook?
use tubes on the middle Texas coast to catch flounder, they love them .
Stop in kewaunee wi. Awesome salmon fishing right off the pier this time of year
I live for smallies! Tube jig is a staple man!
Dang, that was a good trip up until the end there.
Yeah mi dnr doesn’t play around with fines. You got the non resident rate our in state rate pending the infraction is like 250 bucks but if you had any fish on board they take those and issue a fine that is larger. For hunting they sometimes seize the firearm or bow used and suspend your licenses for 5 or 10 years can’t remember but it depends upon severity like if you had multiple untagged deer
Sounds like you were in canada, dont-cha-knooo. haha nice action up there!
great video Robert always great to be catching some smallies for sure!! sucks you got that ticket though! and holy crap $460 bucks ouch!!!
When all of this si over you’ve got to come to Puerto Rico, sow you can really fish some good tarpon!!
Yeah come to Puerto Rico and feast on pretty much anything that eat fish, right from the shore, I have been using ultralight for baby tarpon up to 15 pounds and is a blast
This past July I stayed at my Dad's place in Naples. He said don't worry about a license it's private property. I purchased a 1 year visitor license just in case. Next day while fishing for speckled trout , a fish and game boat patrolled the bay.
OUCH!!! Heading there this Saturday... thanks for the reminder to make sure I buy enough days. All of the sudden $86 for an annual license doesn’t sound too expensive.
Man that's pricy Canada's 33$ for a sport per year
Taking a Field Trip w/ you is on my Bucket List!!!
Link to the hat for the Go Pro please.
Peppin showing off that “I just saved $460” smile 😂
Hahaha
That thing on top of the pole on that rock point would make a good tiny house/cabin
next time you're in Michigan you gotta go fishing for salmon where i live great fishing
Ya need to come to ky an fish the old locks on the ky river
Bro, all over my old stomping ground. One day you gotta hit the apostle islands and isle royale.
$460 wow. At least you took responsibility and didn't try to bs the guy.
The locks I fish were build in the 1830s it’s a 21 foot falls that acts like a giant air stone
Tubes kick ass
Try the tube rigged like a worms works well to
Murphies law man. Atleast he wasn't a jerk and take all your gear and kayak. Ministry guys are doing there job and nailing poachers daily. Love seeing them out on the water.
was thinking of buying a freedom drive for another kayak. but see you use a hobie drive on your own kayak???
Could have bought one on your cell before you got back to the truck. But yeah I feel you there, as someone who buys a bunch of temp licenses.
Robert Fields.. ur mind was preoccupied now it's a killer day in Lake Michigan. $460..LOL.. me & my ex long time ago Hiway patrol stopped us & measure the length of our crappi we passed
$460 😂 , same thing happened to me with my kids. Didn't release i needed one were I was fishing but the Ranger Cut me a break and let me go 😬😬😬. Live and Learn.
another great vid
Do you like your NRS box? I got it last year and I think it's pretty sweet. Nice stuff brother sorry you got busted.
ooooooof that's a tough pill to swallow for a mental lapse.....but ya gotta pay to play.....same happened to me a few years ago.....went to get license...and buy new wading boots.......they moved the boots from the fishing dept...to the sneaker dept.....in the 20 mins it took to get the boots...it completely slipped my mind.....my drrrp....luckily I only received a warning....
gotta pay to play!...the free world is getting more expensive every day and all you get for your money is a guy asking why you haven't paid his wages.
@@truthbetold2012 you know stuff like fishing licenses are the reason we can fund the upkeep of our wilderness and national parks etc right? Hunting and fishing licenses as well as outdoor gear at those outfitters are the funding that gets funneled into outdoor care. If you dont wanna pay for a license then dont go fishing brother
@@truthbetold2012 without that revenue places like this would be filled with shit and trash so just keep that in mind
@@isaacrobinson5062 in my area here in Australia nothing has been upgraded, maintained or changed since the introduction of fishing licences... all we get is more fees and higher prices...the only thing I ever got from a buying a fishing licence is a some guy asking if I paid his wages!...thats where our fishing licence revenue goes to here...boats,cars,motors ,electronics,jet ski's, offices,advertising etc for the officers and departments.... some restocking goes on inland where freshwater fisho's get something back but for the east coast saltwater all the infrastructure was already in place before fishing licences and the waterway infrastructure is maintained through boat related fees and licencing...I think if you looked at the books for your fishing authorities you will find you get very little for your fees....we have 4 different authorities on the water we have marine parks,fisheries,maritime waterways and police...our licence money is divided between them....you should see how hard it is to get them to do things for the community lol you ask the trust for money and you rarely get approved.
Hi Robert!
What is the model Smith glasses you use? Copper lens?
Ouch bro. That's a hefty fine. Great video though. If we ever get a chance to fish together in Mississippi, I promise I'll pay for the temporary license.
it happens your caught up in what you love to do
That the lure I caught my 23 inch smally on
As a lifelong Michigander, thank you for your contribution to our conservation efforts. Your $460 donation will go a long way to fight invasive zebra mussels and Asian carp.
Ouch! Sorry about that. Shit happens Now you are a Michivander!! Lmao! Pure Michigan. Give up your money. It isnt just fishing and hunting. They get us on orvs didtbikes etc. I hope you enjoyed the stay. Stay safe and good fishing
Oh my gosh, $460 bucks in the books for legal and professional fees. Hey, look at the bright side, it didn't come out of your personal taxed income. Love your adventures Robert. Congratulations on the huge Smallmouth Bass.
Nice video
Moral of the story, always run to Wisconsin as fast as possible!
serious damage $ 460, un saludo bro!
You guys gonna be coming out with a new model of the lightning strike any time soon? Wanna get one but if theres a newer model coming id wait for it.
We would’ve released our 2nd model back in March, but COVID shut us down for 4 months. It’ll be a shorter, more “rec-friendly” boat at a lower price point ($1300 I believe). I’m designing our 3rd model now, which should come out sometime in 2021.
Damn!!! $460 is steep!!!
It happens!
What is that thing that you’re clicking on the bulk of your hat?
That coffee color is crazy hot
Bro. I feel you. I did the same thing last July 4th. The first time I’ve EVER been checked by DNR, I confidently handed them my license and he was like “uh this is expired” 🤦🏼♀️ completely forgot I had renewed my freshwater and not my saltwater. I felt like such an idiot lol
Damn up here in Canada we don't need a liscense for salt water only fresh water.
I can't believe you don't have a fishing license oops 😂😂
Reminds me of me 100.00 8 inch trout.
You get a 👍
Stand up guy you are Rob. Honest mistake. Great day of fishing. I’m sorry that you had to take that $460 hit. Be safe.
I think we have all experienced the police one time or another😪. Still a great video.
Dang, that's unfortunate
Today I found out people from UP have the same accent as central and northern Ontarians
We get asked if we are Canadian all the time hahaha
Crime doesn’t pay Robert but you will. Lol Enjoy Wisconsin eat some cheese curds and drink some Spotted Cow beer.
Even a citation can’t stop the fuuun
Ouch! $460? That's rough!
Should have just bought it online while in the boat.
New PB cost. That sucks to bad there is no US 50 state License
Cool
I had a hard lesson too. People shared a spot with me and I have my license so I knew I’d be ok to fish there.... I left early, and when I came out the trail, fish and wildlife was waiting for me 🙃 just like yours, they were really nice chatting you up but technically a trap for you to admit you’re fishing. Because I said yes to fishing and thank god I didn’t keep anything. I had my license so I was like cool no problem he’s just checking. NOPE while holding my licenses he’s like well buddy, you’re fishing in a protected area 💀💀💀 signage everywhere says don’t eat certain fish but not no fishing. And he’s like well you’re supposed to know....... mannnn dats a trap lol. “You’re supposed to know” 🤦♂️ 280 fine for me
Just think of it as putting that money toward conservation :))
I live in Michigan and it drives me insane that they hit you with such a large fine for a cheap license. Also unreal that the UP has more DNR then the southern part lol!
How much is the fine
@@rtckid did you watch the video???
@@bradleyhouston9037 yeah I watched it the whole way I don't recall him saying the amount unless I just forgot..? Sorry if its a stupid question.. 😕
@@rtckid it's all good I was just wondering! $460
@@bradleyhouston9037 wtf man. In Texas you can get caught channel fishing in the wrong place and it can be less...
First. Hope you’re having a good day
A friend of mine years ago was out fishing at a lake when a game warden came up... when the warden came up my friend was sitting on his truck having a drink- his fishing poles he had setup and cast out were down the bank a ways away. He did not have a licence so when the officer asked if he was fishing, he said no. The officer then went over to where the poles were and said "I hate it when people leave stuff behind" and picked up the fishing poles and tossed them out into the lake- told my friend to have a nice day and left. :)
If your lines are in the water, that means you are fishing.
You were fishing an unattended pole.
@@JohnDoe-jc3cl He knew that- the warden knew that.. But what is a $100+- fine for fishing without (in that state at that time) vs the loss of $300 in equipment for lying to an officer? :)
He needs to fish Lake St Clair and catch a 15lb smallie!
@Fran Ra true monsters 👹 up here, soon its walleye and muskie
That ticket was uncalled for. If you had a temp license(one day expired) you obviously weren't out poaching. A warning would have gotten the point across. A full ticket is taking advantage of their power. That takes the mission away from conservation and points it towards another avenue to take people's money.
That sucks!
Dang, and you were releasing every fish, that was pretty hard, LEO. could have given you a break GEEZ! Or let you buy one on your phone
Dang thats a hard way to learn that lesson 🤦🏻
the officer should have cut 40 bucks off the ticket cause that number is just rude
Tasty
Damn $460!?
That’s Michigan for ya
Come to Puerto Rico, you don't need a stupid license to fish here
You sure about that buddy? Just looking out for ya because they are making people get them now. casetext.com/statute/laws-of-puerto-rico/title-twelve-conservation/subtitle-1-protection-of-game-and-fish/chapter-2a-fisheries/25d-fishing-licenses
460 bucks for fishing without a license..... Thats ridiculous
Why do you even need a fishing license?
He would of been super cool if he let you go with a warning, now he is just another piggie bro!
I know lots of people that go to Michigan and fish illegally. They hit the small lakes and dnr is never on them.
I on the other hand have never fished in MI. I would like to, but not willing to pay what they are asking for an out of state license. Which i see why people do fish illegally all the time in MI.
Not good for the sport
