CREEK MONSTERS! Giant Ohio Smallmouth Fishing! Rebel Grasshopper

Words are hard to describe that feeling when you hook into some giant creek smallmouth! In this video I used a 1.5 inch profile grasshopper imitation and a buzz bait. Nothing like a top water strike!

That second small jaw was HUGE! Nice job!

I love that lure, too! They catch small and big ones!

It’s a amazing lure for sure! Love it in the creek

[@TimHaunFishing]

Man, those are the days we fish for. Congrats on all those gorgeous fish.

[@dustinc30]

Thanks man! Yes they are. Days like that are only a couple times a year for sure! Such a blast man

[@PatrickMarbury]

Good looking fish. Nothing fights like a bronze bomber! Glad to hear you like our Rebel Crickhopper! Happy fishing.

[@dustinc30]

Thank! Definitely enjoy using them in the creeks! Nothing beats a top water smallie bite

[@nathanmaynard131]

Love to see it brother. Makes me so blessed to live in a place you can catch native wild smallmouth in streams and creeks.

[@dustinc30]

100% agree with you!

So beautiful seeing those smallmouth swimming through the water. You caught some really nice ones my friend. I don't think I have ever caught a smallie on a buzz bait. That was cool. Picked up some good tips.

[@dustinc30]

Thanks man! I love it when the waters clear like that. Appreciate you watch too. Glad I could give you some pointers

[@monmixer]

I rubber banded grasshoppers to hooks and nailed bass with them in south east Ohio creeks. I normally wade for bait for my first hour. Craws, minnows and a few hellgrammittes. Live is the best.

[@dustinc30]

I haven’t done that in several years! Definitely a great time too

[@fishingwcp]

They are so fun in current

[@SaltyFreshFlorida]

Some clear water! Never tried a grasshopper imitation

[@dustinc30]

Definitely worth trying sometime! I love using it in the creek

[@southerncharlesfamily6089]

those cats were huge! When i was younger there were some massive cats like that in a pond we fished. i guess during spawning idk the middle of the summer they would all go shallow and swim close to the surface and you couldnt get them to bite anything. This was a beautiful area!

[@dustinc30]

Yes they were! I haven’t tried catching them but I can only imagine the fight with them living in the creek! Definitely a beautiful creek. Appreciate you watching!

[@southerncharlesfamily6089]

@@dustinc30 catching one of those monsters on light tackle would be a ton of fun and probably a good video!

[@dustinc30]

I agree! I’m going to have to try and catch them sometime. I’m sure they will have crazy power!

Awesome video! I went crappie fishing today..weren’t biting very well the barometric pressure is high here in my corner of Missouri

[@dustinc30]

Thank you! I went out the other day here too. Did pretty well but didn’t record. What were you using?

[@dustinc30]

That’s frustrating. I was using a real small bait. About 1 inch maybe 1.25 and worked it vertically very slow

[@Gonewithjon]

subbed right away

[@LBVFISH]

Sighs...I need to invest in a peddle kayak. Edit: Also, that striped smallest at 14:12 was beautiful.

[@dustinc30]

Thanks man! Definitely need one. So nice when you creek or river fish

[@batsbass4137]

Ohio heck yeah awesome job and vids I gave ya a sub man keep it up 👍🏻

[@dustinc30]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support!

[@batsbass4137]

No problem anytime

[@MatthewJessOutdoors]

I fish the Miami river alot

[@MrDusty2728]

Great video. I grew up fishing southeast Ohio creeks and recently returned to wading them again after my time with uncle sam. I definitely need to invest in a kayak now. What creek is this?

[@dustinc30]

Thank you man. That’s a feeder creek to the Hocking river! Nothing like slamming some big creek smallies

[@Andrew-tk6cd]

Give a little love and share some of your fishing locals for those of us who are new to the sport or haven't been in years. Thx M8.

[@deandurfey4715]

Great video! Which creek? Also, what kayak is that..? I’m looking to do more fishing kayak style..

[@dustinc30]

Thank you! It’s a Old Town kayak. Plus that’s a feeder creek into the Hocking

[@MrMickeytv]

Nice!

[@dustinc30]

Thank you

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

Wearing themselves out is all well and good, but it pays to have a net. Sure you can get by without it, but I've caught a fair share of pike in the mid to upper 30s pushing 40 inches, especially in the spring and I hate wearing them out TOO too much. Even when I've got my medium action rod too they inevitably hit the ultralight. And every so often I'll hook a truly massive smallmouth and often in spots where it's just hell landing them without a net. Especially with treble hooks, I've seen some horrible happenings with people getting hooked while it's still attached to the fish and I'm not trying to experience it. Just got back into steelhead and I'm looking at a 10.5 foot ul you can use a spinning or centerpin with. I might pull the trigger even though I'd prefer a light action for the big steelhead we get but it's too perfect for drifting crayfish for smallmouth which I absolutely love doing

[@kylemattix5561]

If you dont mind me asking is this the sandusky and about what county are you in? I live north of Columbus near uppersandusky and was just curious to where this might be

[@dustinc30]

It’s a feeder creek to the hocking river. I live by Lancaster

[@justinsmith4404]

what should i fish with in the great miami river

[@dustinc30]

I’d probably try a smaller buzz bait or a craw imitation

[@sbarrett8900]

I bet a Nikko hellgrammite would be the ticket in that creek.

[@dustinc30]

Can’t say I’ve ever actually thrown a hellgrammite before. I can see them hammering it though. I like to Texas rig or throw top water 99% of the time

[@sbarrett8900]

@@dustinc30 I Texas rig the Nikko hellgrammite. They are fantastic.

[@knotright4422]

What are the good put in/take out spots on the hocking river

[@dustinc30]

It’s honesty good fishing from clear creek down to whites mill. You could put in about anywhere

[@knotright4422]

Thanks for the info

[@atravers349]

What a dream of a fishing creek! Must not be NE Ohio! Question about your kayaking; do you paddle back upstream to your launch point, or do you arrange a pickup point? Hoping to get a kayak soon.

[@dustinc30]

I’m in southeast Ohio. It’s definitely a beautiful creek! I paddle upstream and fish up it then drift back down to my launch

[@demetriuswratten2990]

where are you in this video? i just started bass fishing in ohio. for years just cat fished now im trying bass and trout. if you could help out that would be great thank you.

You have an Instagram?

[@dustinc30]

I do not

[@renwhite1809]

Why would you be using 4 lb good way to lose a good fish, best one Iv caught out of the creek was 3.5lb and if I didn’t have braid on he would of broke my line the second he hit.

[@dustinc30]

Can you cast a 3/32 oz lure with more than 4 lb test? I doubt it goes 15 feet from you lol That’s why you use light line and it’s much more enjoyable…anyone can horse in a fish with 20 lb braid on. You must not fish in the creek much….braid isnt very good in the creek unless you use a leader. The line will be cut on the rocks constantly with braid
