Me & E Going Fishin in the Dark Playing in the Creek & Pickin Up Cars Where the Cat-tails Grow-ow (2024)

The 6 figure self propelled tackle box and 50 ton capacity fishing rod. No fish is too big to catch and no pond is too small to fish in. Great work to the entire Midwest Team on this and every recovery you do.

I love the nod to the nitty gritty dirt band!

You and your son work together so well, just like you Ron and your dad did.. Blessings to you and your family 🙏

One well done fish!! That one can't be used again.. 😢,, thank goodness no injuries... GREAT VIDEO!!! 😅

It’s always a cool video when father and son work together especially when the younger one gets to get their hands dirty and learns how to use their own abilities to make things work better and more efficient!!! Great job Ron and E

Not one of your smoothest recovery efforts but you got it done. Isn't working in the mud FUN!!!

So 24 years ago my now wife and I went on our first canoe trip together. Somehow I didn't annoy her too much as I/ we were singing that song bouncing over logs in the river. I will always love that song!😊

Ron; we had a contractor hit power lines with the boom on his track hoe; he was "situationally unaware of his surroundings" and he took out the power lines above his boom prepping the area for the flood up here in St. Paul, MN. The Rapidan Dam down south of Mankato, MN. the Blue Earth River broke through the land mass & it took out several houses & contractors removed the C store called the "Dam Store"; note the play on words.

Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, so follow me, follow, down to the hollow and there we can wallow in glorious mud. !!! Hope you enjoyed your shower afterwards, Ethan. Best Wishes Roy W. UK

Ron deserves so many more subscribers 🙂

Fishin in the Dark Ron ! ... Ethan is such an asset and reminds me of ..... YOU ! ... great recovery, no one hurt, everyone goes home , thanks for the ride Midwest ! 🙂

Ron, a tag line to cables to pull them across is easier than dragging cable. But don't tell Eathen, he needs his exercise. Lol😂

A thought on righting the car. A wheel chock under the downside rear tyre with the tip pushed under the tyre might have helped with the sideways pull by the boom. Thinking is that as the tyre put pressure on the chock, it would have"dug into" the pavement providing the resistance required to allow the car to right itself.
As always, multiple ways to 10 and the job got done.

Must have been a Kia Catfish... loves that mud! Although you would seldom need it, a 200 yard coil of Home Depot nylon line would have been easier to drag over to the car and then pull the cable in a straight line. In my garage, it would have been 150 yards of knots to untangle first. LOL

Hey, it is always a difficult task when fishing for that next large mouth record breaking weighted stripe mouth bass!

Mission accomplished. That mud or clay looks very slick and sticky at the same time.

Kind of a muddy getting that CARp out of that fishing hole. Good job Ron and Ethan.

Glad the young man was OK I hope he learned something from this accident ! As always you and Ethan did a great job and kept it all safety minded ! God Bless you all and your family ! Stay safe from Church Hill Tennessee !

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

Good morning Ron and everyone at Midwest Truck from the Buckeye State, may God bless you and protect you and your crew out there.

Awesome job Ron and E always great seeing father and son working together

Honestly, I am impressed the lights on that car still worked after all that.

I watching your videos and I have my bells on your videos and I'm subscribed to your videos and 👍 ☝

Get Ethan some waiters and some new boots. It's so cool to watch y'all work together. Love you Ron, but reminding you to say some extra "Thank you." ❤ Excellent job!

Makes you wonder what they do with vehicles in the swamps down south. No way I'm going in to hook up a car with Gators hanging around.

Hey Ron you could lift and set the rollback in the field with the rotator, load the car up on the rollback and lift the rollback back on the road😂😂😂 I'm kidding....although it'd make for great TH-cam content LOL

Yay!!!! Big Tate to the rescue!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

Ethan would only have to blame to bossy was only doing what the boss said.😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤

Ron I love seeing you and E working together. And you guys are very professional in the way you get things done. It's so awesome to see how you take Ethan under your wing to pass on your knowledge. It is amazing! Be safe and God bless!

Need to put out the word that any body of water is not the county car wash. LOL

A neat and tidy job, well done Ethan 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤪🙏🇬🇧

😂 i was humming the country song the entire video... Thanks!

You do like your perks!! And no, no ear-worm.

I’ve always enjoyed the Dirt Band ! Thanks for the ear worm

Keep up the good work and you will get that m100 soon

Got your self worlds first wheel fish

I know with Our Father's help, nothing is impossible. His power always prevails in everything we do, Ron. God bless you guys with another successful recovery.

Nice work and fish looking good 👍👍👍🤗

Ron, you need an electromagnet for retrievals like these! JS!

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

I heard Ron mention the M100 when he wished for a longer boom. Got to wonder how many million dollars that Big Boy would cost over the 1150? Another consideration is how often its unique abilities would allow recoveries the 1150 could not do (alone). Thanks for the great videos guys.

Uninjured, but I bet he needed a shower! You and your son work so well together. You should thank God for that blessing.
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy.

How does Ron stay out of the mud and water, he sends his son in.

love the going fishing videos. hate that someone had to have an accident to have reason to film it.

Gotta feel sorry for younger people when this happens to their ride. Always play it safe and drive very slow if you have to drive through water on the road. Even a creeping speed should avoid hydroplaning.

Saw a youtuber that got audio from the headsets by putting a wireless mike in the earcup of the headset. Might could use a third headset and mike it up like that if you want us to listen in on everybody. Editor would probably have to sync the audio though. Just a thought.

Kind of a small fish I would throw it back on😂😂😂😂

Good morning from New Hampshire
We had a few days over 100 degrees this week.
Now we have thunder storms ahead

Sounds like a country song!

Great job Ron and Ethan Keep up the good work God bless and stay safe

That was not a fun pick. Not the time of day you want to deal with that much mud.
Thank-you for cleaning up the mess. The insurance company will not be happy.

Interesting fishing trip, glad you got it done…

Lol Jeeeez Ron, you must've been tired.. You were a sour pickle that night!

Thanks for another great video Ron and Ethan.
It was interesting and enjoyable to watch.
Nice work getting that car out of the mud and water. Nice pick. Ethan thanks for getting the car hooked up in the mud.
Good lift and loading on the flatbed.
My compliments to both of you. Nice job.

Job Safely and effecentionly done. Greetings from the Great country of Texas

It's a lot better than Baby... Jeep... Do... Do... Do... Do... Do... Do... It looks like there's less water in that ditch than what has been running through my basem*nt. I can live with it. All of the water from north of you is heading your way. I'm praying for everyone. Water is the sustainer of life, but can just as easily be the taker. This weather has been crazy. Please stay safe, and God bless.

I was thinking a drone would be handy to ferry out the cable ends. And giving you a good look before venturing into the swamp!

thanks for video

Great seeing the teamwork; but, really wish we could hear the other half of the conversations.

Great job, Team Pratt! Great message at the end -- kindness, pass it on!

I agree, these night time videos are hard to see. Should have waited. Good way to get someone hurt.

I’m surprised all the lights still work on the car. God bless you and your crew at Midwest towing. Stay safe out there.

Yankum rope does produce synthetic winch line that is 7/8 in diameter.

With regards to Flanders and Swan: 🎶Mud. Mud. Glorious Mud. Nothing quite like it…🎶

I do believe after that job y’all deserve a shower and and a good night sleep. Oh and maybe a popsicle 🙃

Nice catch

Get a hold of Yankum Ropes about synthetic lines for your trucks if you want to switch.

Ron i was surprised the owner didn't get hurt that's a blessing. U Ethan did a great job keep safe and God bless 👍🇱🇷🇱🇷

Sounds like Ethan found some good old Swampeast MO gumbo. I have lost several boots in that suction mess, that had to be retrieved.

Almost like the times you and Mike had fishing in the dark.
Sure miss Mike but understand the reasoning behind him leaving.

The terian the weight lift via the way the car is built just made a little more obstacles to turn her😮

Oh, how I love fishing lol

be safe out there ron and famliy

The vehicle is a front drive. The rear has a square steel going to each tire system

With all the water recovery wrecks in the creeks & rivers you guys should get waders. Make life a little dryer for you

Nicely done Ron.

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud - nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!

Great hook job!

It looks like the light ones are the hardest to land (at least upright) LOL. Great video.

It might be a keeper, it's a little small, might need to check the length. Lol

Ron, the car was not repairable, why not wait till day time and storm letting up before recovering vehicle. Non emergency?

weve had some insane rain here too, an old dam even broke and washed away some houses :/ stay safe and God bless

ugh earworm! darn you 😂😂😂

You are a very patient man Ron. As I have gotten older pretty close to your age I have lost a lot of patience.

omg thanks so much for showing us how difficult your job is I make it a real issue to pull over to the left lane slow down because of your show awesome work Be safe and God bless and continue to protect you your crew and family my Brother

Looked like Ethan was tired, didn't seem as perky as usual!! Milust have been woken up out of bed or came in from a late night out with the guys! 😜

Nice catch!

Slow down during wet conditions

My granddad taught me a trick for keeping chiggers off and it might work for you he would put sulfur powder in his socks around the ankles it is something you can do at the start of the day and not have to repeat just a thought since you are often out in the weeds and water.

Good job

Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week and God bless

nice job guys

It looks like you need a new LED headlight on your rotator 11 and Hope everyone ok

Great job of work given the position it was in, one suggestion though is that Ethan or whoever else is out away preparing for the lift need to be wearing some hi-vis so they can be seen/found if something goes wrong, falls etc

God was definitely with the person in that car, I hope that driver gets to know that God is always there and they don't slide away from his word
God Bless
Be Safe
Slow Down
Move Over
And watch out for little kids, critters, motorcyclists and little old ladies going to BINGO

You make it look so easy.
But I'm sure it's not.

that's what i call fishing in the dark

You really got down to the nitty gritty there.

Ron that will buff right out

You guys are awesome. Than you for sharing your lives with us.
