100% that racoon was in the early stages of rabies. They get extremely thirsty and hungry. If it had been a day or two later when you found him, he would have tried to come after you. They make a horrible growl/screech when they're rabid. Also, where I live we have the rare Roanoke bass. They are very similar to rock bass, but have slightly different genetics, which makes them a different species. However, their native range is dwindling due to the introduction of rock bass, which can outcompete, and also have hybridized with the Roanokes, as well as land conversion for urban sprawl. The NC fish and wildlife service has introduced the fish, along with smallmouth in past years to the Uwharrie river in southern central NC.

If that raccoon would have jumped on Tylers head we would have seen an episode of Creek Dancing Adventures, y'all be safe out there.

I grew up fishing around SE Arkansas with my grandfather. These videos bring back so many memories of those days. I’ve been confined to a wheelchair for nearly 24 years now (since age 27) so I reeeally appreciate your great YT channel. Thanks!!👊😎

When I was a boy growing up in North Alabama, we'd catch a stringer of those rock bass and red eye bass and fry em up on the bank with my buddy's as we swam and just hung out after ball practice. Some great memories creekin'.

Love your videos, mystery fish looks like a motled sculpin. Usually found in good water conditions. I actually keep some in my basement native fishroom.

I think the racoon was trying to turn over rocks looking for hellgramites! Everything loves them. Another great video, thanks!

We call them Rock Bass "Goggle eyes" here in Indiana.😊. Looked like Tyler was fishing' for squirrels for a minute there... Lol. I like your vids! Keep'em coming👍🏻

🤘😎🤘Love your channel. I learn a lot from you Brotha. Thank you!

Jon that deep part of creek that you posted on April 20 would be a great place to fish a Countdown Rapala.lt sinks at one foot per second and is great for deep pools.

Awesome!

The masked bandit was cool...wonder way he was so friendly...

That Raccoon part was awesome!

Live hellgrammites is great bait the Nikko ones are awesome as u know but it's hard to beat the real ones .Smallmouth candy.Another great video man Keep em coming

I wish we had rock bass in Idaho. They seem like they are so much fun to catch.

You should come fish in some of the creeks around Somerset Kentucky I catch plenty of smallmouth over 3 pounds

Julie Wilkinson Yes, they can be dangerous when sick/rabies.etc. My wife and I were walking on a gravel road on a hot day in the afternoon, and an adolescent raccoon charged us on the road and I had to discourage it with a stick. It wanted to bite us. I wish I had the 22 with me, because I know it was suffering and dangerous. Rabies, I’m sure.

Your buddy has got great channel to same as Your channel 2 best dudes on KZread thanks sir

All those good-sized Rock Bass would make for some good eating. I know you don't cook much, but if you fillet them, and then season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and then bake them at 375 for around 15 minutes, they're pretty good.

Awesome raccoon footage! I'm surprised it let you guys get that close

Yep, u are lucky. In Romania, eastern Europe, only commercial fishing is allowed, sadly. Keep up with your videos, they are great,!

You looking for your camera, can't remember where it is... Reminded me of Dad's favorite excuse: "Oh, it's all right-- my memory is what I forget with! " 😁 One other observation: that 'coon wasn't acting naturally. My first instinct says, "Leave it strictly alone!" I think you guys are fortunate that neither of you ended up needing Urgent Care, but I also understand enjoying all of God's creation. Good times!

That was cool watching the raccoon, love the underwater shots

Should come up to northern KY and go fishing

Good fight. Good to eat

nice racoon😀

I saw a video from a long time ago when you fished with the Trout Slayer craws, and I decided to order the kit. I used them in my local creek and caught some bass and big panfish. You should try using them for smallies or coosa bass!

I will definitely be looking at that Serpent rod. We seem to like the same type of rods so if you have A Dick’s Sporting Goods near you, let me recommend the Lew’s Carbon Fire 6’,9” medium light rod. The new one for 2020 is outstanding. I have been catching Sunfish, Perch, Pickerel and Trout out of a local pond and it has been great.

Racoon during the day probably has distemper. Could be rabies but distemper is more common in most areas and presents similarly. Probably dead in a few days, poor guy. Had one in the yard this past summer and called animal control. They were the ones that explained about distemper vs. rabies. Still, always be safe around racoons during the day, especially if they are acting aggressive.

Have you ever used the "Joe's flies" spinners? I have great luck using them on a variety of species, trout, panfish, the occasional bass or redeye, and yellow perch. If you haven't tried them I'd recommend a "black gnat" or a "white miller".

It’s always a good feeling being close to nature. That raccoon 🦝 could’ve been someone’s pet how calm it was. I think that underwater fish was an algae eater.

Beautiful raccoon! I'm certain that's not normal behavior (rabies?) for them to be not scared of ya. Unless, it's used to folks fishing down there or feeding it. One of my favorite critters! My spirit animal (said, sort of jokingly) is the opossum. I bet the raccoons can turn those rocks over just like you did and get some tender vittles (ie: helgramites). I've seen Dobson flies occasionally in Southern Maryland which are not very big. I just learned (doing them googles) that the helgramite are the larvae of Dobsonfly. What's the biggest helgramite you've seen alive? Surely not as large as your artificial bait(?). Anyway, cool video dude ! I'm a subscriber. I don't subscribe to a lot of KZread channels. I like deermeatfordinner, BA Fishing, bluegabe and StanzFam :)
