Title: When bass boat's attack
Post by: TheFishinPollock on March 11, 2014, 11:15:59 AM
Some guys get a tad too close, but if ya read the comments. The guy doing the filming knew they would get close.   It's still awesome.

Looks like a Tourmanent launch.....You would think that those guys would give him a little more room than they did....Maybe it was a channel?...On LSC I always try to give trollers a wide berth...

I count at least 18 rods off that boat.  I have a hard time believing that's legal in ANY state.

I can't watch it. It says it is blocked in my country.

My first reaction to the video was "how many rods does that guy need"...

That is a lot of fishing rods? Looks to me like he was anchored maybe, not trolling? I didn't go to YouTube to read the comments. Looks like the boat traffic maybe helped the bite? Does look like they were fishing near a narrowed area - probably a good fishing spot, but also probably a known high traffic spot - like the bend in the Grand River just upstream from Stearns Bayou and the Indian Channel.

I sure don't support running full speed through traffic in particular too close to any non-moving object. I only saw a few boats that got too close, and no one got ridiculous close, which I have seen a few times in bass tournaments over the year. Particularly in that bend mentioned above in the Grand River. Seen some almost suicidal tendency behavior there are couple times by bass boaters and anchored anglers including a couple times in the fog that were just plain stupid.

I did not know Muskegon had seceded from the nation? Might want to check your IP source to see if you're being routed through some friendly computers in China or Russia or something similarly interesting??

Does that mean my Michigan fishing licence isn't good on Muskegon Lake?  Great... now I have to spend more money on another licence.

Are you guys getting that when you're using your home Internet connection? Frontier Communications?

Or when using your cell phones? You probably aren't pinging Canada...

With Frontier or other home Internet - could be some type of safe search block because of the word 'attack' from Frontier to Goog-YouTube? Or just Googyoutube itself.

If it's your cell phones, it could be a similar safe search block (I doubt it since it's not widely spread) or malformed mobile headers of some type causing Googyoutube to think you might be up to something (in or not in combination with your mobile provider)?

I have some security on some sites that will occasionally block some mobile users if they aren't sending good, clear headers, or sending one similar to a previous abuser. The specific IP address can cause that too sometimes. Mobile IP addresses switch a lot so I usually don't report them, and if they're blocked it is most often only temporary.

The "Blocked in your country" is an error coming from settings or a result of your specific request from Googyoutube though. Probably not the video owner since it does not appear to be blocked in the U.S. (or any recently seceded territories :D). And if you don't know already, 'gurgle' does no evil, ...and may be omniscient... (misspelling on purpose in case they read this with one of their magical, mysterious, brilliant, never-wrong bot/ai programs, and decide to squash me like a bug again like they do about every 18 months... ;D)

You can try watching the video directly on YouTube - that might work. You can try the video with a different Internet source - not work. I would never ask any of you to misuse work time to visit this website!!! ::) If you restart your phone you may grab a different IP address. If it is your home Internet - you can try a browser plugin, proxy, VPN, TOR or another private browser service or website. I do it for testing all the time. The nice hackers and spammers who visit my various websites day and night also enjoy using such services often... ::)

Ahhhh... when I tried to watch the video on m.youtube.com I got a message that says "The content owner has not made this video available on mobile. Add to playlist to watch it later on a PC." That might be the real problem if you're trying to watch it on your 'smart' phones.
