Couple tips heavy rod 65lb braid and slowwww roll a spinner bait when there back up in the creek like that they stay year around pull off to the side and give another 1,000 cast they will hit

That's a great recon video as I like to call them. You know what you need for the money fish and you had the right shape but wrong size. Blessings brother

Awesome video. And sick muske follow

The river scenery was beautiful and yeah avoid the bears when you can. Up north a few popular musky lures and pike are the bucktail spinners like a #5 Mepps and they have one called the musky killer. A large slow moving Plopper, magnum Rapala, and even large plastic grubs and Flukes but you may need a short wire leader to prevent bite offs. They do make musky glide baits like the Believer and ones that have a hard body and plastic tail. You did have some followers and that's half the battle. Blessings brothers

Thank you brother for sharing another great river fishing adventure with John you guys make an amazing team you get nothing but smiles and pure joy from me watching! Tight lines take care and God bless!!!❤❤❤

What a beautiful river! Thank you for another awesome video.

good stuff!

Hey josh!!! Great vid man!!! New sub here!!! Loving the content! Right up my alley!! I just caught my first musky on the big south Fork of the Cumberland River yesterday. Throwing a 4 inch red paddle tail on a bitsy bug!!!

I live in bear country. We get bears in our yard from time to time. I had a 500 lb black bear cross our property a couple weeks ago. Our dog was barking at it and the bear just ignored it and kept casually walking along. They are highly unlikely to attack you if unprovoked. Most will run off if you just yell at it.

Wow Josh, this was a very exciting video. I got so tickled at you when you seen the muskie. You guys will have to go back and get em 🐟🎣🐟🎣

Thanks so much for not spot burning our special spot here. A really special fishery

Great video and float beautiful place guys

Love the growl on the slo mo’s

Nice video went from a crazy bear to a crazy bird real quick 😂 Love this river tho, a little more enjoyable when the waters up some and you don't have to get out n drag as much. I've defenitely hooked into a few nice ones on the drop shot too, also just smallie fishing but there are also really nice smallies in there for sure! Good luck on the next one! 🎣👍

The best approach if you float up on one and you see each other....just go on by about 100 feet...fish around for 10 minutes...then sneak back up and make some long casts....dude on that river...I've caught them on every thing but musky lures...I fish there for small mouth...so... I've caught them on green pumpkin creature baits...johns favorite banana swirl yum dinger...white spinner baits...ned rigs...even on a bitsy minnow....good luck...you will get one...or two!!! only thing in common on mine are slow presentations.

Let’s go again

Great opening. You are becoming quite the videographer! Nice floating trip. Keep them coming.

Good vido buddy were you in Tennessee

Beautiful river!! Y’all are so lucky to live in an area with so many beautiful fisheries!! I love y’all’s videos looks like a fun time 👍

Thank you very much for the video sir

That drone shot was sick. Did you have it follow you while you caught that fish?

Dale Hollow lake? I won’t even know the difference between a mean mouth and smallie. Nice work bro liked and subbed from a fellow kayak angler. Stay safe and connected!

Where did. You get your foul weather gear from again? The one you wear in the colder weather?

Congrats on the W! I knew when you signed up with a couple days left you were gonna get me. Great job though, I know it ain't easy alot of people don't see and realize the struggles that come with it mentally and physically. If I had to lose to someone glad it was you! Good stuff!
