Love the Mega Man Music!!! Glad you didn’t get a ticket! Planning a trip to Port A soon. Only got to drive 16 hours lol. Awesome content! Keep it coming.
The stripe across the eye makes me think almaco jack, but I'm no authority. I hope those game wardens watch your videos, because you are a testament to what fishermen should be: conservationists first.
That’s a baby greater amberjack. Almacos have wider body and taller fins. Banded rudder have vertical bands when they are younger and blueish tiny. Lesser amber Jack have stripe that stops at the eye
@@TB-xw3vo we catch baby greater AJ's in late spring nearshore near North Padre Island or Port Aransas/ Mustang Island. By fall/ winter it is bar jacks or almacos.
Haha next week on lone star law. Thresher fishing finds out he needs new registration sticker on his boat and must have ID on you at all times while fishing. Man I thought you would of smoked a king in that water.
Great report Coop! When the warden asked you about your name, I'm not sure if you said Daniel or Samuel. Either way, it ain't Coop lol. One thing though, I would never trust the tides and leave my truck so close to the water while going offshore. You just never know.
I’ve had a few run ins with Texas PWD they have always been nice when I’m out boating (ski/wakeboarding/tow tubing on the lakes) or hunting/fishing inland. If your stuff is in order and you have stamps/tags with you if required or they can look it up it’s usually just a warning.
Pure luck Cooper. I've been waiting 30 years for a warden to check my license lol. I feel like I've been paying for nothin. 😁😁. So what...... You forgot the paperwork. Everything was up to date and they were able to look it up. Stay safe.
No doubt we need more of those guys down at the jetties… plus you might be right it could have been a amber Jack or might have been a Almaco Jack hard to tell.
I never miss a video Coop, since the nueces bridge days, (wish you still had the video of the kid who caught that gator trout on the bridge and had to walk him to the side to grab him.) the snow video day in cc and catch and cooks. I’ll run into you fishing some time. 👍🏼 none the less great video
@ThresherFishing. @9:11. That almost looks like a G-Shock Rangeman. I like your style man. Mine served me well for 4 years and still running. Served me well throughout my time in the Military (U.S. ARMY).
Your blue fish grow huge Here in Australia we call them Tailor most only in the same size that you were catching They are great smoked. And a good source of omega-3 oils .
A few years ago, I got an 8wd Argo amphibious with tracks for moose hunting. The primary use was for recovering big game in horrible places in the area of Ontario where we hunt. The first year we took it to the camp, we decided to take advantage of it's capabilities to check out possibilities in the most horrible swamp area where we had all shied away from for years. The trip in was about 8 km from the navigable dry area & took us an hour or two as we checked out possible hunting places. On the way out from camp, we had met our regular "friendly" CO who checked out our licenses, tags, gear & guns...as normal we were clean as a whistle. When we arrived at the far end of the swamp, we decided to get out & have a walk around but when re returned to the Argo, we found the CO stood by the vehicle, plastered in mud & soaking wet. He had followed us in along our path through the swamp with an ATV! We looked at each other & I said to Doug "How the fuck did he get in here"? Doug replied that the CO did not care...if he got stuck he would be able to sat phone the office for a helicopter to lift him out. We were clean as a whistle but he gave me shit because I had left my rifle in the gun boot on the Argo (we only needed one rifle to explore). He gave me some light pressure about gun security but let it go because the bolt & mag were in my pocket. The moral of the story is these guys will turn up ANYWHERE, usually when you don't expect it so plan accordingly & keep your ducks in a row! As a side note, after spending a good decade & a half making our lives tough with random stops, checks & endless interrogation he was forced to retire through ill health. When he handed over to the new CO for our area for the following years, he reportedly gave our group of 14 guys a glowing reference "these guys are pros, they have their shit together with the gear, plans & all the paperwork carefully managed" because he had never given us more than a single ticket for not wearing a helmet in all the years he had been the CO there.
Sometimes I think fish n game shouldn’t be able to approach or board your vessel unless you show them a open violation like with vehicles on the road. My buddy had his boat basically torn apart by them ones cause they swore we had illegal fish. Again with our warning or anything just approached and boarded us. If cops on the road need probable cause I think they should as well.
Last week I caught 3 blues Close to Mustang island I think access three. That was my first time ever catching blues. Awesome video. Can’t wait for that day I hook on to a king.
If you are out that far you need to have some small hooks of large wire size and catch those grey triggers for real fine eating. The chomp down like sheepsheads so take care and use about 3-6 inches of wire.
In decades of fishing and hunting I've never had a rude or aggressive gw encounter. They've always been pleasant and talkative. They're also great for getting intel from.
Whoah, what a cool setup you have. I've been thinking about a boat, but the whole boat + trailer + place to store it 8 months has put me off, plus I don't have a truck. This looks like something I could put on a roof rack, and stand up in a corner of the garage in the winter. Do you have any details on your kayak setup/accessories?
For sure! Getting checked out usually means getting the best info, and making new friends. On the other hand, nothing cool about pissing off the game Warden, getting a hefty fine and possibly having your equipment confiscated.
Coops you naughty lad! Smacked wrist for you! Got back from London after 2 months last Saturday and altready had 2 days fishing. Had 3 202+ flounder today and 2 redfish of 31" and 42" from jetty. Missed it so much. I need a boat! See if the wife will get me one for my birthday haha Great to see ya out man.
Wowowowow they make paddle boards that you can fit outboards on? My pals and I spent like a week making a contraption with our 3D printer to fit an outboard on a paddle board. Things works like a charm
Is this out in the ocean in the Gulf ? I didn't think you needed a fishing license for fishing in the ocean. I used to fish inland on the intracoastal waterway which was salt water (it lead out to Atlantic Ocean) and did not need a license.
The process to be a game warden is unlike any other police work. I believe a degree wildlife & fishery is needed before even applying. All in all i think game wardens are awesome and very knowledgeable about their job.
Straight up. Not a big cop fan, but i love me my DNR officers. Ive never run into any of them any where that i found to be unprofessional and not chill. Always wanna know if you got anything and what you used. Cool officers.
Props to you for telling them they need to post up at the jetties. Tons of bull reds poached every day. Respect Coop.
As a guy that likes to fish, and has all the documentation with me in whatever state I am in, I appreciate good wardens like this.
Oooh just love me some Nazis asking for papers. Are you one of them Biden commies? Lol
@@sterlingchristopher4680 Doubtful. Probably voted for Zion Don. A boomer-brained bootlicker to be sure.
Congrats on your success. I didn't know you were 100 percent supported by youtube. That is awesome cooper. I'm jealous.
Agreed about needing more game warden patrols on the jetties!
They don't like getting their backsides busted on those rocks. Jetty fishermen are to crazy to let that stop them. I used to be one when younger.
I hate that I get nervous every time I get stopped by a game warden even though I'm doing nothing wrong and have all my documents in order 🙃
It's completely normal since we have such tyrannical dirty law enforcement. 🖕👮
@@mikesanchez5014 yeah, the way they gave him a warning instead of a ticket is really tyrannical. He’s lucky he got out alive
@@nickdombrowski8200 how them boots taste 👅🥾🖕👮😂😂😂😂😂 triggered the first snow flake. 😘😘
That's a completely normal and reasonable reaction when you live in a police state.
@@pakde8002 yes sir.
Next week on Lone Star Law- Thresher fishing needs new stickers and the wardens check out the jetty
Hilarious
I was just thinking the same thing lol
I’d be mortified I need to renew my license
Lol fisherman learns how to legally fish too late
Was just about to txt the same thing . Lol
The real question is WHO THE F IS SAMUEL?!?
🤣🤣🤣
LOL. He will be on UA-cam. I hope he watches and subscribes to your channel.
Love the Mega Man Music!!! Glad you didn’t get a ticket! Planning a trip to Port A soon. Only got to drive 16 hours lol. Awesome content! Keep it coming.
Thank you for another video, Coop! And thank you for the motivation to upgrade my tank from 22 to 60 gallons
The stripe across the eye makes me think almaco jack, but I'm no authority. I hope those game wardens watch your videos, because you are a testament to what fishermen should be: conservationists first.
Looks right to me. Jacks can be hard to ID, especially since there are so many species.
It's 100% almaco jack
Banded Ruder fish, in the jack family
That’s a baby greater amberjack. Almacos have wider body and taller fins. Banded rudder have vertical bands when they are younger and blueish tiny. Lesser amber Jack have stripe that stops at the eye
@@TB-xw3vo we catch baby greater AJ's in late spring nearshore near North Padre Island or Port Aransas/ Mustang Island. By fall/ winter it is bar jacks or almacos.

I want a boat like the game warden has to use for fishing..
Hell, knowing UA-cam there’s probably a video on how to make one.
Sickk drone footage coop! Pretty cool of the game wardens to let you off with a warning👍🏽
Those game wardens were really nice! I like to see that 😄
All they do Is dig and look for shit like your a criminal. Even when you basically on a surfboard with a motor
@@noway57 highschool dropout aren't ya
@@contaminatedfreshair3286 how does him being right about the police make him a high school dropout?
@@noway57 i don't see your point here. These dude act very nice and respectful to the angler. What else do you want
Love the hype moment after the wardens leave at 6:26 😂
That underwater footage though! With the music! Awesome videos as always!
Great report Coop! When the warden asked you about your name, I'm not sure if you said Daniel or Samuel. Either way, it ain't Coop lol. One thing though, I would never trust the tides and leave my truck so close to the water while going offshore. You just never know.
“The land of the free” 😆😂
I’ll fish with you one day bro! Waiting for the day I catch you on the jetties! 🙌🏼💯
Same same 🔥
Only been a couple times..
Do you guys go all the way to the end? Better luck down there or is it decent all along it?
When he asked for ID, you should have pulled the old "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" lol
Edit: Also, I dig the Megaman music
❤️❤️❤️😂
Dude yes megaman holy smokes I knew I knew it Haha!
nah... foreal 😂😂😂
ID? Tell em yer going to vote!
The megaman 2 music in the middle is what got my sub bro! Memories came flooding back.
The edit after the game warden encounter really cracked me up. Nice one dude.
Coop! Got boarded by the po po in my kayak off of P-cola yesterday. They were 100% cool. Had my stuff in order so no issues.
Wow... 7-9 miles offshore in a Kayak! You got balls!
great video Sam, Keep it up!
Who’s Sam? Lol
@@wswsparks4542 sounded like he said his first name was Samuel haha
Dude when the Megaman II music kicks in at 6:50, felt that
I’ve had a few run ins with Texas PWD they have always been nice when I’m out boating (ski/wakeboarding/tow tubing on the lakes) or hunting/fishing inland. If your stuff is in order and you have stamps/tags with you if required or they can look it up it’s usually just a warning.
We always learn something from your videos and that’s because you are good at your job. Thanks.
People are sleeping on thresher man the knowledge and how much and big your catching is insane
Take a lesson from Samuel, be respectful and they will treat you with respect. Good on you!
They could probably tell you've been lifting so they're the ones that got scared.
Samuel! Professionally handled Thresher. 👌🏼
Game Warden:
“Are we going to be on UA-cam?
Samuel:
“Haha depends if I catch anything.” 😂
lol the old school arcade music was priceless. be safe out there have fun!!!!
Love the video bro. And how you handled it. Cheers .
I just sold my Bote Rover w 9.8 - it was fun and great for running around . I just needed a little bigger . I highly recommend the bote
Pure luck Cooper. I've been waiting 30 years for a warden to check my license lol. I feel like I've been paying for nothin. 😁😁. So what...... You forgot the paperwork. Everything was up to date and they were able to look it up. Stay safe.
Love the beard coop, keep grinding King
what a neat little boat. I had the same standing grab-bar setup on my J14 growing up
Even out in the middle of the damn ocean.... the fuzz out there making sure the peasants pay royalties to the oligarchy.
No doubt we need more of those guys down at the jetties… plus you might be right it could have been a amber Jack or might have been a Almaco Jack hard to tell.
I Enjoy Watching Your Videos Brother

So much freedom. It’s kind of overwhelming.
Awesome video Coop. Besides all the humorous jokes on here , I still believe you are the best fisherman on UA-cam. Be Safe Brother.
That was a juvenile Almaco Jack. Good eating
yes! i was hoping someone commented haha!
Those were the nicest game woodens I've ever encountered
nice as can be while violating your constitutional rights...
Dude you have your truck.. Cheers to new videos thresher! Keep up the good work!
My guy needs more likes I don't care if it came out 30 min ago..beat fishing channel ever
that music that started underwater got me pumped
Man! The mega man 2 music around 06:40 brought back some nastalgia for me.
Dude you are a corpus christi celebrity. Lol will you sign my tackle box 🤣. Great video love the music
That's some bad ass tunes you got there. Got to be some 80's video game theme music for sure. Brings back memories. Thanks for that!
the algorithm brought me here, that camera shot from the line made me subscribe, super cool!
I’m late to this but that last fish you caught before going back close to shore is a Blue Runner. Correct me if I’m wrong
Last week I caught 3 blues Close to Mustang island I think access three. That was my first time ever catching blues. Awesome video. Can’t wait for that day I hook on to a king.
love the music choices, keep up the great content!
That looked like a juvenile amberjack
That X3 was pretty sweet looking.
When the music hits!!!!!!!
My dude, take a pic of your license so if you forget or don’t pack your wallet, you’ll have ID
Almost time for the Red Run 🏃♂️ 🙌
that line cam was awesome!
If you are out that far you need to have some small hooks of large wire size and catch those grey triggers for real fine eating. The chomp down like sheepsheads so take care and use about 3-6 inches of wire.
Looks like a little Almaco jack but not sure if they’re in our waters
Game Wardens are very nice and respectful when being recorded!
In decades of fishing and hunting I've never had a rude or aggressive gw encounter. They've always been pleasant and talkative. They're also great for getting intel from.
But they still want to know what he does for a living?! WTF??
"you guys need more warden on the jetty's" "alright pall here's your ticket "
Great video sir!

Why do they need to know what he does for a living? WTF??
Thats an Amberjack . Just a real small one
We demand 2 videos a week! 🤣
As always awesome vids. The music and content is the best. Drone footage is cool
(Boat starts floating away bc the waves)
GW: STOP RESISTING!
🤣
Wait, I assumed you had another job. This is full time? Living the life.
Appreciate the video brother!!
It’s a banded rudder fish it’s similar to amberjack ! Good eating
You should try a GoPro 9 with the max lens mod that always keeps your horizon up for the underwater line shots! Always enjoy your content!
Coops you naughty lad! Smacked wrist for you!

Great to see ya out man.
Think the small fish is a blue runner btw.. used to catch them all the time when I worked offshore.
Best choice in 8 bit mega man music. Thats my ringtone lol
Beautiful song man 👍🏼
Looked like an Almaco with that stripe across the eye.
Them boys like "WTF this guy doing?"
You always have good music on your videos especially the runescape songs
Wish I could drive out on the beach like that here in Florida! Used to do it all the time out in montauk. Best way to fish/launch
Too many sea turtle nests were destroyed that way on the gulf. You can in north west Florida like Daytona or St Augustine.
If you zoom way in, to left of Sand Piper, you might be able to see me drinking a Red Bull on my back porch. Lol.
Wow that cam view is insane. Never seen that before my god what an idea that is.
Wowowowow they make paddle boards that you can fit outboards on? My pals and I spent like a week making a contraption with our 3D printer to fit an outboard on a paddle board. Things works like a charm
