Q & A

  • What modifications are being made to the boat in the script?

    -The boat is being modified to include six independent decks that extend the walkway out, relying on railing or sprinkler system galvanized metal, to provide a safe and stable area for fishing without the fear of falling into the water or through the roof.

  • Why did the narrator and his brother-in-law decide to build the decks on the boat?

    -They decided to build the decks because the original structure of the boat had weak points that were not suitable for bass fishing, which they enjoy. The modifications aim to make the boat safer and more functional for their fishing activities.

  • What is the time constraint for completing the deck construction mentioned in the script?

    -The large mouth bass spawn happens in mid-March, and they have a 3-week window to build the deck before this event, which is their favorite way to fish.

  • What materials are being used for the construction of the decks?

    -The materials being used include 2x6s for the top of the deck, 2x4s for the framing, and 4x4s for the posts. They also have 10-foot long posts, although they may not use all of them.

  • What is the purpose of the 4x4 posts in the construction?

    -The 4x4 posts are used as weight-bearing supports for the deck. They are placed on the railing and secured with bolts, nuts, lock washers, and washers to ensure stability.

  • How did the narrator address the accessibility issue from the cabin to the roof of the boat?

    -To address the accessibility issue, they built a 2x4 ladder that connects to the upper deck, making it easier for people of all shapes and sizes to reach the roof without having to perform difficult maneuvers.

  • What is the significance of the catfish feeding on cicadas in the script?

    -The catfish feeding on cicadas is significant because it presents an unusual and unexpected opportunity for fishing. The catfish are actively feeding on the surface due to the cicada boom, allowing for a unique sight-fishing experience.

đŸ›„ïž Lifeboat Modification Project

The narrator discusses a project to modify a lifeboat to better suit their fishing needs. Over the past six months, they've spent time on the boat, which currently has limited walkways and is not designed for bass fishing. They plan to build six independent decks to extend the walkway around the boat, ensuring safety and ease of fishing. The urgency is set by the upcoming large mouth bass spawn in March, giving them a tight 3-week window to complete the project. The first steps involve attaching the bottom of the frame with 2x6s and using marine exterior screws for treatment.

🔹 Building Fishing Decks on a Lifeboat

The video continues with the construction of fishing decks on the lifeboat. The narrator and their brother-in-law are working with 2x4s for framing and 4x4s for posts, attaching them to the railing with bolts, nuts, and washers. Despite the challenges of the boat's original design, they manage to create sturdy platforms. The weather is a concern as they work through day one with drizzle and day two with warmer conditions. By the end of the second day, they have four stable and spacious fishing decks, although they initially planned for six but adjusted due to the presence of important boat components.

10:02

🎣 Testing the New Fishing Decks

The narrator and their friend Davey Gravy test the newly built fishing decks. They discuss the boat's difficulty in accessing the roof from the cabin and decide to build a ladder for easier access. The ladder is designed to maintain the functionality of the boat's old coffin bed. After the ladder's completion, they test the stability of the decks and find them suitable for fishing. They also discuss using live bait, specifically crawfish, for fishing and demonstrate a quick method for making crawdad traps using Gatorade bottles, shrimp, and bread as bait.

15:04

🩐 Catching Crawfish for Bait

The video shows the process of catching crawfish using homemade traps. The narrator and Davey Gravy set up the traps in a creek near the narrator's parents' house. They use a combination of shrimp and bread as bait and successfully catch a large number of crawfish, including some impressively large ones. The crawfish are intended to be used as live bait for bass fishing, and the video captures the excitement of the catch, including a humorous encounter with a lobster-like creature.

20:08

🐟 Unexpected Catfish Encounter

While the initial goal was to bass fish, the narrator and Davey Gravy experience an unexpected event during their fishing trip. They find themselves in a lake teeming with catfish feeding on cicadas, which are unusually abundant due to a cicada boom occurring every seven years. Instead of bass, they catch several catfish, including a large one that fights aggressively. The video captures the excitement and novelty of catching catfish on artificial lures and sight-fishing for them as they feed on the surface.

25:09

🩇 Catfish Feeding Frenzy During Cicada Bloom

The video concludes with the narrator and Davey Gravy taking advantage of the cicada boom to catch catfish. They observe catfish feeding aggressively on the cicadas and manage to catch several more, including some large ones. The sight-fishing experience is described as one of the coolest catfishing experiences the narrator has ever had. They also discuss the possibility of a largemouth bass appearing and feeding on the cicadas, adding an element of anticipation to their fishing adventure.

Keywords

💡boat

The term 'boat' is central to the video's theme as it represents the main setting and object of modification. The video features a lifeboat from an oil rig that the narrator and his brother-in-law are converting into an adventure boat for fishing. The boat is described as spacious, capable of accommodating 64 people, and is being modified with additional decks to enhance its usability for bass fishing.

💡modifications

Modifications are changes made to the boat to suit the narrator's specific needs for fishing. The video outlines several modifications, including the addition of six independent decks to extend the walkway around the boat, ensuring safety and ease of movement while fishing. This term is integral to the video's narrative as it describes the process and purpose behind the boat's transformation.

💡bass fishing

Bass fishing is the primary activity the narrator intends to engage in using the modified boat. It is a popular outdoor recreation where bass fish are targeted, and the video script mentions the narrator's enthusiasm for this activity, especially during the largemouth bass spawn. The modifications to the boat are specifically aimed at facilitating bass fishing, highlighting its importance in the video's theme.

💡walkway

A walkway in the context of the video refers to the structural pathway on top of the boat that allows for movement. The original walkway is deemed insufficient for the narrator's bass fishing needs due to its limited extent and weak points. The script discusses plans to extend this walkway with additional decking to create a safer and more functional space for fishing.

💡2x6s, 2x4s, 4x4s

These terms refer to the dimensions of lumber used in the construction of the boat's modifications. '2x6s' are used for the top of the deck, '2x4s' for the framing, and '4x4s' for the posts. These measurements are crucial in understanding the structural integrity and design of the new fishing decks being added to the boat.

💡safety

Safety is a significant concern in the video, as the narrator mentions the risks of falling through the roof or into the water due to the boat's original design. The modifications, such as the independent decks and railing, are intended to mitigate these risks, making the boat a safer environment for fishing and navigation.

💡cicadas

Cicadas are insects that emerge in large numbers every 7 years, and their presence in the video is linked to an unusual phenomenon where catfish are feeding on them. The cicada bloom leads to a unique catfishing experience, where catfish are seen feeding on the surface of the water, attracted by the cicadas.

💡catfish

Catfish are a type of fish that are unexpectedly caught by the narrator while targeting bass. The video details several encounters with catfish feeding on cicadas, which is an unusual behavior as catfish are typically bottom feeders. This unexpected event becomes a highlight of the fishing experience in the video.

💡ladder

A ladder is mentioned as an additional modification to the boat to improve accessibility. The narrator plans to build a 2x4 ladder to connect the cabin to the roof, allowing for easier movement between the two areas without the need for risky maneuvers, enhancing the overall functionality and safety of the boat.

💡betterhelp

Betterhelp is an online therapy platform mentioned in the video as a sponsor. It is highlighted as a useful tool for people who may be experiencing difficulties in their lives and are unable to access in-person therapy, especially those living in remote areas.

00:08

awesome you guys have seen us spend a

00:10

lot of time on this boat over the last

00:12

six months or so me and the old brinis

00:15

the brotin shakes has spent a couple

00:17

nights on this thing jugging camping

00:19

00:21

of a 18 wheeler's boat right now

00:24

00:26

there's room for 64 people one of my

00:29

favorite boats to spend on and this

00:31

upcoming year I want to do a couple

00:33

modifications so we can fully use this

00:36

thing the way we want

00:39

[Music]

00:43

to

00:47

baby

00:49

now the original manufacturers of this

00:53

boat did not intend on it being an

00:55

adventure boat so the only structural

00:58

walkway on top of the boat is what I'm

01:00

laying on it ranges from the very front

01:03

of this railing which also doubles as a

01:04

sprinkler system all the way back to the

01:08

entrance and exit of your steering area

01:12

your home now it's pretty cool that we

01:14

have a walkway that is structural but

01:16

the thing is we like to bass fish and

01:18

the manufacturers didn't have that in

01:19

mind so when you hook a fish and you're

01:22

running around the roof we have a total

01:24

of six weak points around the entire

01:26

boat I don't know if you guys can hear

01:29

that or see that but me and my

01:32

brother-in-law are about to face a very

01:35

fiberg glassy death if we keep doing

01:37

that we want to build six independent

01:40

Decks that extend this walkway out they

01:42

rely on railing or sprinkler system

01:45

galvanized metal where you can walk all

01:47

the way around the boat fish and not

01:49

feel like you're on this slant and

01:50

you're going to fall in the water or

01:52

feel like you're going to fall through

01:53

the roof cuz neither of those things are

01:54

very fun when the water's frigid or if

01:57

you don't have health insurance

02:12

so we have 2X sixes for the top of the

02:15

deck 2x4s for the framing of the deck

02:18

and the post 4x4s got two 10f Footers

02:21

doubt we even use them all cuz our post

02:22

are going to be like that long now the

02:24

whole purpose of us building this deck

02:26

besides hoping nobody falls through and

02:28

making it a little bit easier to

02:29

navigate top while we're doing it right

02:31

now it's currently Midway through

02:33

February the large mouth bass spawn

02:35

happens midm March my favorite way to

02:36

fish man it just makes my tinglers

02:40

tingle which means we have a 3-e window

02:43

to build this

02:44

deck which I feel pretty

Lifeboat on an oil rig in the G Coast we

04:27

got4 of an inch bolts nuts lock washers

04:30

and washers we're going to try to go

04:32

straight through the wood straight

04:33

through the railing and then that will

04:35

1 half days or so we have four intact

09:59

fishing decks pretty dang stable and

10:02

they are pretty spacious if we have one

10:04

angler per deck I think it'll be

10:06

absolutely perfect now in the beginning

10:08

of the video we said we were going to

10:09

make six Decks that is not the case we

10:12

came down here to start and there is

10:15

bolts nuts and a bunch of different

10:18

important components of the boat right

10:20

inside of the old Helm station we have

10:23

gauges and gaskets and a lot of cables

10:26

that run down to the engine I do not

10:28

want screw up especially with a fishing

10:31

deck I think that gives us plenty of

10:33

room and it won't let anybody distract

10:35

me while I'm trying to drive this thing

10:36

cuz it's like a 18 wheeler on on the

10:38

water now that we've kind of addressed

10:40

walking on top of the broken fiberglass

10:43

the next big problem that we've been

10:44

facing with this boat from day one it's

10:46

dang near impossible when you're out on

10:50

the water to get from inside the cabin

10:52

of the boat to the

10:56

roof mm when you're out on the water and

10:58

you're in the life boat and you got to

10:59

get to the roof there's two ways to go

11:01

you either go outside the side windows

11:03

on either side and you go around kind of

11:05

like the catwalk so to say it's maybe

11:08

foot wide and if you take one wrong step

11:10

you're toast you're just walking down

11:12

the sprinkler system up there hoping you

11:14

don't fall off second way is just a

11:16

straight up muscle up and you just you

11:18

know what I'm

11:20

saying do one of them not only did we

11:23

want this thing to be super easy to fish

11:25

off of we also wanted it to be

11:26

accessible for all shapes and sizes of

11:28

fishermen women we're going to build a

11:30

little 2x4 ladder right here that

11:32

connects right here comes straight up

11:34

and that'll put you right by the deck so

11:36

you don't have to do any muscle ups or

11:37

crazy Maneuvers to get up there and

11:39

it'll still let us open up the old

11:40

coffin Bed full

11:44

[Music]

11:47

functionality all

11:49

where they can't reach

16:55

backwards w

16:58

gravy I've rigged up a Carolina rig for

17:01

you got a egg Sinker little bead to

17:04

protect your knot swivel down to a

17:07

pretty light circle hook we're going to

17:09

hook up a medium siiz crawl for you oh

17:13

come on ah ahud they're firing me up

17:16

they're slapping tail a lot there you go

17:19

grave look at the clampers on her we

17:21

came out here like day and a half ago

17:23

and there's like a five or a six pounder

17:25

that's just cruising the bank it's the

17:27

old Big Mama it's got a tiny male on bed

17:30

doing its dirty work for protecting the

17:32

old babies don't know how it goes the

17:33

goal is to put these crawfish in the

17:35

beds and as soon as they get in the beds

17:37

the bass are going to slurp them up

17:39

think so oh I know instantly or over

17:43

under if we can get it in a bed it'll be

17:45

dang near immediate I like to hook him

17:48

right in the in the tail he's pinching

17:51

he's saying Mama quit hooking

17:57

me holler if you get a biging

18:00

dude y yep yep y y the tiny ones the

18:05

tiny ones paint smaller skin which hurts

18:07

kind of more

18:12

sometimes if we don't catch this fish

18:15

then this fish is the smartest large m b

18:17

in the Southeast I see them circling my

18:19

fingers at the

18:23

wind boys oh gosh I might have a good

18:27

one real that is real that is I didn't

18:30

18:37

all right that was a three or four

18:39

pounder that was a decent size fish he

18:42

ate that one deep man like really really

18:46

21:45

to try to put a circle hook through this

21:47

23:02

23:04

23:08

23:10

YouTubers

23:12

23:15

they're everywhere

23:18

[Music]

23:33

I got one following oh dude yes that was

23:37

awesome dude that's not a bad one he was

23:40

just cruising through I was kind of

23:43

crisscrossing over his

23:45

face oh that was so sick he bit it like

23:49

three or four times on the fourth one he

23:52

just okay here we go and I don't want to

23:56

break my rod flipping a catfish it's

23:58

like a five or a six pounder

24:01

dude

24:03

yeah yeah come on baby get some slime on

24:08

those new decks for me not at all what

24:10

we intended on doing when we were

24:12

building these decks but when you come

24:14

out in the middle of a cicada Bloom you

24:17

take what you can get I've never seen

24:19

this before in my life I don't know if

24:21

this is just happening because it's the

24:23

biggest cicada boom since like

24:26

1808 but that was the coolest catfish

24:29

catch of my life oh my goodness dude

24:34

oh probably a three up wo that was sorry

24:38

get up under those little poisonous fins

24:41

there we go probably a three or a four

24:44

pounder I bet if you cut this dude's

24:45

stomach open it would just be filled

24:47

with cices that was such a cool bite

24:50

coolest catfish bite in my

24:52

life I've never catfish like this it's

24:55

insane I can just see them they're all

24:57

in the water out here thank you

25:00

buddy dude I am punching myself for not

25:03

having a

25:04

cooler fry them things up boy put them

25:06

on the Bobby so kind of a Bittersweet

25:09

thing we've been having cicas land on us

25:11

all day long I don't know if this is a

25:13

Country Wide thing or just in the South

25:16

right now but we have these little bugs

25:19

that spawn or whatever they reproduce

25:21

every 7 years and apparently the catfish

25:24

are absolutely loving it the goal is to

25:28

try try to find as many of these little

25:29

things as we can because I think if they

25:32

sit in the water for less than 5 minutes

25:34

we're going to have fish on every

25:43

time dude literally 60

25:46

seconds oh

25:49

my oh

25:51

baby that's a darker colored

25:56

26:03

upper deck baby come here yes sir what

26:07

26:10

a 100 cicas and call everyone we know

26:15

26:21

you it's it's literally maybe 2 3

26:24

minutes cicada sitting in the water that

26:26

one was completely dead

26:28

it was just oozing out in the water turn

26:31

around the rod tips just bouncing this

26:33

morning I thought it was kind of random

26:34

that we caught one on a lipless I was

26:36

like why are they feeding like this but

26:38

this is making total sense dude you can

26:40

just watch the top of the water out 30

26:42

40 yards you see cicas

26:44

everywhere and these guys are just

26:46

feeding up on

26:49

them going to get this guy back go enjoy

26:52

some more cicas my friend

26:57

[Music]

27:10

biggest

27:11

27:55

chunky tumed up kada eating boy or woman

28:00

going to give you the old bow toss

28:02

brother thank you

28:04

dude G on it's going to freak me out

28:07

when a 10lb large mouth just comes

28:09

cruising through here eating cicas it's

28:11

really weird because they're not hugging

28:13

the bank they're just 30 40 yards off

28:16

eating all the cicas that are getting

28:17

blown across the lake and then when the

28:19

cicas get up in those rocks on the bank

28:21

the brim are just destroying them

28:28

oh

28:29

dude that one

28:32

28:35
