Ajouté : 2026-05-17

[00:00:04]Hey guys, welcome back here to Intuitive Angling and really appreciate you guys uh checking out today's video and hanging with me a little bit. And guys, today we're going to be talking about one of the darkest things that's going on around our country right now, not just for fishing and hunting, but just in general. And that is this corrupt spraying of toxic chemicals to kill aquatic vegetation on our lakes across the country. This is out of hand. It's ridiculous. It's corrupt. It's a bunch of crap. I got some commentary I want to give on that in today's video and sort of bring everybody up to speed on what I think's going on with this and definitely want to hear you guys' opinion as well cuz I know a lot of you guys, especially live down south like in Florida and Texas, you deal with this all the time, so I'd be here interested to hear you guys' feedback on that as well.

[00:00:49]I'm also got a couple quick things before we get started. Just a big thank you to everybody that's taken time to hit that subscribe button here at Intuitive Angling.

Really appreciate everybody that's been doing that and just thank you for all the support of everybody's been, you know, using all the links in my descriptions and everything. Thank you very much.

[00:01:39]Okay, guys, we've done some stuff on this before, but I see it all the time because I have people send me messages on it. It's like, "Randy, why don't you do a video on this? I can't believe they're getting away with this or they're spraying this."

[00:01:50]Guys, this spraying of aquatic uh of our aquatic vegetation with toxic chemicals has been going on a long time. The corruption is neck-deep in this in terms of the palms that are getting greased, special interests that are in control of things, politics are involved with it.

[00:02:09]Basically, what you have is this, in my opinion.

[00:02:12]And from, you know, people I've talked to with it. You have these fisheries, not in fisheries, but the lake managers on some of these lakes across the country that um they have contracts with these chemical companies and there's money changing hands. It's like, you know, chemical companies are giving feedbacks and greasing the palms of these people that are in positions of power to make the decisions on the lakes. It's the same back here, guys, all over the country.

[00:02:37]You got You got these greedy developers that grease the palms of these zoning and planning commissioners in cities across the country and you can have 50 residents stand up in opposition to some development of proposal on they lay out a bunch of facts and reasons why this development shouldn't go in on. The developer gets up there and says, "I just bought this land and I want to develop it." And the zoning and planning commission will side with the developer because they're getting campaign donations, they're getting kickbacks, they're getting their palms green greased. It's the same corrupt that's been going on forever. Same with this whole thing about the aquatic vegetation. Here's the insanity what we're dealing with. Why are we allowing the people in positions of power, whether it be local politicians or the these lake managers or whoever it is that makes the decision that we're going to spray this lake, why are we letting them spend our tax dollars to pollute our lakes? Because they're putting poison into our waters.

[00:03:37]And when they spray this aquatic vegetation, I don't care what it is, it kills freaking everything. It kills the entire ecosystem in there. All of the food chain from the microorganisms to the plankton to the small bait fish, they're all affected. They crawl causes turbid turbidity in the water. You lose your water clarity. We've all seen what's happened to a lot of the Florida lakes across the country.

[00:03:59]Basically, it puts poison in our lakes.

[00:04:01]And you hear these people say, "Oh, this is safe. All this is environmentally safe." If it's safe, let me see you fill Take a glass and fill it up with your safe chemicals and take a drink out of it. To all you, you know, politicians that have enabled this, to the lake managers who are doing it, to the chemical company reps that are pushing this stuff. You guys drink that and we'll see how safe it is. It is freaking insanity that we have gotten to the point where we are basically just shooting ourselves in the foot out of just nothing but greed. This This is all about greed and money. And I can't tell you guys how many stories that I have heard where you'll have a lake, say for example, that's just an awesome bass fishery that's got aquatic vegetation on it. And then you get some dock owner on that lake that is tied that has some can Everybody is like a state representative or a state senator or US congressman or whatever, and they make a phone call and they say, "Hey, can you do something about spraying this grass because we can't get our pontoon boat out of this boat dock." And there you have it. And then they come in with and start spraying the crap out of the stuff and kill everything. I've seen it firsthand, guys. I have seen the devastation specifically in Florida. It's not just limited to Florida. It's anywhere in the United States where you have grass, aquatic vegetation in the lakes, this spraying is going on. It's corrupt All That's all it is. Now, here's the alternative to it. You don't have to do this. Granted, yes, we do have to have weed control management to some extent. But you know how you do that environmentally safe without polluting stuff? Is you use mechanical harvesters with it. Mechanical harvesters, environmental friendly, it creates work for people. It's a work project. You know, there's not anything wrong with that. You can control, you know, the the swash that you cut with it. It doesn't come and just kill everything in its path. You can strategically cut out vegetation where you need it. And then, you can take the vegetation that you cut with the aquatic harvester, and you can bale it and sell it as cow feed.

[00:06:06]Something like that. It's like a win-win for everything. It's It's the same that we same deal we should be using hemp for our our fiber products, but instead we cut down our forest to make toilet paper out of it. It's just It's It's It's just corruption. Money. It's money influences stuff like that.

[00:06:23]The problem we have with this is everything is tied back to money on it.

[00:06:27]Money and power. And you what you have is you have politicians I'm not saying all politicians, but the majority of the politicians in this country on a state and a national level are bought and paid for by big corporations. They're the ones Those big corporations have funded their campaigns. They can't do it without them. And there is payback to be expected. So, when you have some type of a bill or legislation out there that benefits, you know, big oil companies, chemical companies, whatever companies that benefit from polluting our environment, when they have a bill or legislation that are put up forth that they want to advance like, you know, sprint like deregulating whatever so they can pollute more or, you know, putting more chemicals in our water, they expect those congress people and senators to do their bidding. And they do. 99% of the time they do. All you have to do, guys, is look it up. Look up your congressperson, your senator. You look up where their donations come from.

[00:07:27]If it's from a chemical company, pharmaceutical company, an oil company, you can bet that they've been bought and paid for. It's corrupt is what it is. And until we have a system where company corporations are not allowed to not allowed to run this country and they're not allowed to donate, you know, to political campaigns, we're always going to have this corruption. We're always going to have our lakes freaking polluted with chemicals from now on because nobody is there to stand up against it. You know, that lobby is too powerful and a lot of people think they get away with this. But guys, there's one thing, let me here's the a great example. It's like a lot of you guys have seen the movie Gladiator when Gladius Maximus gets up there and he says, "I will have my revenge in this life or the next." All of these idiots that are getting away with this now and and making a buck off it and polluting our planet, you know, for power and profit, there's karma to pay for that in this life or the next.

[00:08:26]You will have to pay your karma for it.

[00:08:28]So, you're not You may think you're getting away with it now, you won't be getting away with it.

[00:08:32]But, it's insane, guys. It's one of those things that we have normalized and the problem we have with it is a a lot of the public has they're apathetic to this. They think somebody else is going to take care of the problem. So, the best thing you can do is if you're in a situation where you see whatever your legislators are, if they vote to support this type of crap or you have lake managers that manage lakes that are allowing these chemical companies to come in and dump chemicals on your lake on your lake, vote their asses out of there. Call their attention to it. Call it out on social media. You know, bring it to public attention.

[00:09:06]That's the only way that you get these idiots out of power because right now the freaking inmates are running the asylum when it comes to environmental laws in this country and um like I said, it's just it it just makes me realize that a lot of times that human beings are some of the most stupid species on the planet. We are the only species on this planet that actively destroys our and very our very environment that sustains us for personal profit. It's like what type of insanity is that where you put poison into your air and water simply to make money out of it at the expense of everything that poison does to our air and water.

[00:09:47]So anyway guys, drop a few comments. Let me know what you guys think about it.

[00:09:50]We'll talk later.
