Hats off to the man who saved the day! I hope you took good care of him! Take care!

This is precisely why I always crack a window or take the keys with me. I got locked out of my car while it was started in a scenario just like this. So I will always put the keys in my pocket or give myself enough window room to get my arm in there. Glad you at least had fun fishing. It’s ridiculous that it took them that long to come and help you. In this scenario I would just call the cops or a locksmith and have them bring a slim jim to unlock the door

Yes, I accidently locked my keys in my car while it was running..this was locally..so I had to run all the way home to get my spare keys...took hours..car was running atva coffee shop 😮😂

I was only kidding ! Good luck next roadside fishing trip, Brandt ! Always enjoy your Florida fishing adventures.

That’s a smart key all you had to do is touch your thumb on the door handle to unlock it. Key was within 5 feet and only the front door handles can do this. At 15:55 on the passenger handle I can literally see the little button to touch on the handle

wow Brant. You are a patient man. I would have busted the car window way earlier and cursed the rental car co people!😆😂

But just one thing just be really careful standing on the side of the road fishing. All it takes is just one person to be distracted, and drift out of their lane and then hit you.

That is why I wear pants or shorts with pockets. As soon as I pull the keys from the ignition they go straight into the pocket. If they not in the ignition they're in my pocket. If I'm in the driver seat with the car on and need to step out to say get something out of the trunk or back seat before I drive off I will always lower the driver window just in case the car locks itself. Anyways glad to hear you were able to get out of this mess successfully.

Most fun I've ever had fishing, kids size rod, light tackle, fishing for reds here in Florida. So much fun. Keep up the good content y'all.

So glad you’re ok! I’ll be watching you again! I’m subscribed and excited for more fishing! ✌🏻😎👍 🎣

I rented a car in Europe that at first was a pain and then I recognized it was a blessing: you could not lock the keys inside either the car or the trunk. When you unlocked the trunk, the key stayed in the latch. When you unlocked the car, it would not re-lock unless you had the keys/fob out of the car. Such a lifesaver on a rental! Fun vid!!!

Great video, thanks for showing that things don't always go off without a hitch.

I m counting more Gators than you are counting fish. Why not try wading. It may have been possible to cut rod tip at top guide and remove the rest then work the tip in at top of door and down to window down button or door unlock. Sacrificing your rod to allow you to gain entry would be better than spending the night in the middle of the everglades with no ride , food or water. Worse all those Gators come out at night to feed along with the Burmese pythons. I believe if the rod hack proved futile a rock to the passenger window would be in order.

That was a Mayan Cichlid. I just back from two days of fishing in the Everglades. That looked like a Stumpknocker. If you saw 9 alligators - there were 5,or 6 more you didn’t see.

I carry a backpack with some basic stuff, a pocket survival tent, water filter, a revolver plus 50 rounds of ammo, and a TON of tackle, line, weights, and my favorite combo I've ever put together. A Zebco Z-Cast 5'6" collapsible rod with a Shakespeare Durango reel with 30lb braid. It shouldn't work as well as it does but here we are. I break that thing out anytime I see water with fish.

Dang Brant, you gotta broaden your fan base! Cause anyone of us would've rescued you regardless of the inconvenience.

Same thing happened to me fishing at a remote pond last summer….keys in car….shut door…..locked on me…..I had to flag down a farm worker who did not speak English to call me a wrecker service to unlock the car. Funny thing is that I had gotten out very early that day because of high temps….so much for that idea.

Where I live in East Texas [the boonies/farming community] we do alot of pond hopping ! EVERY farm that has any amount of acreage/livestock usually will have several ponds some are small mudholes an some are huge 30-60 acre ,some are absolutely full of fish an some aren't ! There is 1 pond in particular that's within walking distance of my place and its on a piece of property that has been up for sale for ages [over 6 years] and its as you'd expect VERY overgrown an VERY hard to fish because of that BUT if your brave enough to weather a few chigger bites then this little pond is FULL of huge ''war mouth'' perch an they have a unique and beautiful coloration that I've NEVER seen anywhere else [I've fished ALOT of ponds etc] ! They are very colorful but what's unique is they have little black spots/dots all over them as if someone took a pepper shaker an gave them all a few shakes on each side ! Ive been fishing this area for decades an this is the ONLY place that I've EVER seen this particular color variation !

This was some video to watch,, I'm glad you got help and I hope that never happens to you or anyone else again. 😅

I've locked the keys in my car numerous times. Now I have a hide away key holder stuck by magnet under the car. Keep a house key in there too.

I'm glad people stopped and you were able to get in the car but I have to ask what did we learn today.

It happens to everyone. Glad there were some kind people who stopped and helped you.

1:51 That is a Mayan Cichlid as Tilapia stripes only run midway down the side. The predator dots near the tail also gives it away as a Mayan Cichlid. Great catches, bro.

As it is so quiet you can here a pin drop during the day in big cypress, it's the noisiest place at night time. You outta spend the night there some time, its majestic!

😛Wow! What patience, but I too would have waited - then smashed the window. God willing, tomorrow, I'm going to create my key numbers so that I can use the outside key pad on my older vehicle. Been meaning to do that for years - but have AAA & forget that sometimes locals might not show up at all, as in your situation.😝

The one you weren't sure about looked like a Spotted Sunfish. Glad that the tow truck driver was able to open the rental, and shame on the people at the rental company for not sending someone when you first called.

I would’ve called the pop lock first instead of a rental car, but I’m glad you were able to get out of there, eventually haha
