Homecoming Creek Fishing SURPRISE!!

What a return trip to Kentucky, and the first ever fishing trip in the town I was born. The day started out before the sun came up to get on a 8 mile stretch of a creek that was shallow and beautiful. There is no way we thought the trip would be as good and have an ending like it did.

I appreciate you using your platform to not only be a "Creek Fisherman" but a "Fisher of Men" God Bless You!

[@johnwhite993]

He is definitely a good man. Love all of his videos

[@michaelangelofishing2534]

Your videos are getting better and better please keep it up, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now and enjoy your creek fishing adventures

[@Eric-ed8ti]

The fact that you took as long as you did to compassionately talk about the injured fish tells me a lot about your character. 👍

[@cbeardmusic4295]

i was glued to my screen pulling for that fish!

[@ScottMacdonaldfishing]

I look at this way. If the fish unfortunately dies. That dead fish will feed all kinds of other fish and creatures. Hes not going to waste.

[@suemartinez715]

It is so beautiful to watch your fishing videos and added shots of scenery 😮😊

[@gottogofishing4929]

None of us should ever forget that we participate in a Bloodsport. We do our best to preserve our quarry especially the bigger ones but we can't win them all.

[@thrundawolf187]

absolutely addicted to your videos especially when i cant go fishing. yet it makes me wanna fish even more also from my point of view, a fish dying from fishing is the cycle of life. we are like any predator but sometimes catch and release doesnt always go to plan but atleast we have a choice to let them go. it happens and will happen.

[@AintB2]

Singing the "Circle of Life" song.

[@MrStvwinks]

My wife is from Alabama and was an avid fisher until disabled. You are just about the only one she enjoys watching fish, and you have the added bonus of sounding like home to her. She was like you with luck and she outfished everyone we know. She loved it so much that she dreams at night about fishing still, even though she can't do it anymore.

[@nway37849]

If you don’t get caught in a thunderstorm fishing in the summer are you really fishing?

[@heavenbound358]

I've been caught on the water in a downpour like that....DON'T CARE FOR IT!! LOL 😆

[@beforethunder4987]

Happened to my friend and I on The Lake O' the Pines in East Texas. On his 19' john boat out in the middle of the lake (big lake), we sat there with water just rushing off the bills of our hats. Then we looked at each other and just busted out laughing! Good times.

[@KyleUselton-is6ue]

Nothing better than going home!! Especially when it's been a while. What a blessing!!

[@allstarplumbingremodel1783]

Nice 4lb smallmouth....dont expect those much in creeks...lol...great vids...keep them coming😊

[@heavenbound358]

John, ANYBODY that fish's has had that happen 🤔. It's no big deal. Part of fishing 🎣

[@Pixieshade]

Welcome home. From Somerset KY and was hoping you’d come up and hit some KY creeks. Looking forward to more KY creek fishing videos. 😊

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

Thanks for being honest about that fish that didn't recover. I'm certain that many youtubers just edit that part out. Great video btw, the music company service you started using seems to really add value to your videos, hopefully it pays off with more subs!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@fifedizzy4563]

Great video. Sure it was a fun homecoming. Looks a lot like our creeks (like Sugar Creek or Big Walnut) in west/central Indiana. Love the medium sized creeks on kayak. Gar sightings as well. we have a lot of Gar here as well.

[@markbrooks5278]

Man that was quite the adventure John!! Thanks for taking us along, so glad you made it out safe from that one , and congratulations on those big fish!!😉👍

[@chipseiler1766]

That was truly an "EPIC" day of fishing. I guess you had to pay your dues at the end! That was rough! All in all just a beautiful and well timed trip. What a perfect scripture passage to end with. You're awesome! Blessings!

[@ri-jm5tn]

It’s days like these that keeps you coming back for more! I’m just as addicted to river/creek fishing as I was 50+ years ago. Great adventure, great video!

[@donmclemore1396]

John looks like you had a good day. Anytime you catch good size smallies it's a good day.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

I know sometimes it happens when we catch fish that they swallow the hook & we have no control over it, I have cut my line to try to save them but sometimes it's their time to go, one time I felt so bad that I killed one & it was floating & a bald eagle came and got it, made me much happier that it was the circle of life, but what an awesome float with so many great catches, your do lucky to get to do what your doing & I know you don't take it for granted! God bless you!🎣👍

[@micahgrim2597]

Dude that whole video was so cool John! Lol it had it all, sentimental, great fishing, dramatic storm, people falling down, and church in the morning! Thanks for the watch buddy. 10/10

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

those days are definitely special

[@CopleyintheCreek]

Its the circle of life . That bass will become food and something else will take its place.

[@stevehogan8829]

Good video John. No one is more sorry than the fishereman. As hard as we try to not kill fish, it's still gonna happen. Those are the only ones I eat these days. IF you were in KY, anytime this month, that rain had to feel great. Been hot hot hot.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That was quite a storm there buddy!!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@heavenbound358]

Definitely a quality smallmouth, John

[@blue-sc1se]

Great vid! I think that storm was God saying you guys had enough fun for one day! 😄

[@patrickhartman6818]

The first thing i want to say is, how the heck did someone get John Dalton out of bed well before light. Thats a miracle in itself. LOL

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

What a man will do for fishing!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i dont usually like to but this day was definitely worth it

[@st93er]

John every cast: "its a biggen" 😂 I love it

[@502austin8]

Come up to central Kentucky to fish the Elkhorn creek! You wont be disappointed! Love the videos man

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its on the list

[@alpha-bodee4142]

Absolutely insane day of fishing man!! I'm from Kentucky! Great to see an extensive video on Kentucky. Thank you. Maybe I'll see you on the waters 🎣 happy fishing!!

[@JeremyMartin-xq7pb]

"Nature....not the lightning, I'll take the rain......" I'm still laughing when I think about this.

[@admmhammond]

They say you can never go home again. "They" never went fishing. Great video my man. Your video/music for your intros and interludes are great as well! Your grabbing some great music for those shots. Keep those up.

[@bluesdad54]

A shame to lose that nice bass but as you said, its the way life goes. None of us want to waste a fish but you tried your best to revive him. Another good video. Thanks for inviting us to homecoming.

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Continue to love and enjoy your content!! Glad you're with Family fishing with your roots Brother. I been watching your early videos, learning as I go!😊. Thanks again and God Bless 🙏

[@cobrajet8866]

18 is OK. He will complete the circle of life.

[@Jaang29]

what a privilege to be able to do that under the rain @ 31:32 , looks like you sincerely enjoy and are relaxed . wish I could do that , priceless ! that's why I enjoy your videos, so real, it's like I'm doing it

[@Matayosfishing]

Dannnnng. Yeah I hate that. Thats the worst part of fishing right there I HATE it when I kill a big Smallmouth RIP little buddy but hey you tryed man. God understands. HoodnLord will bless us with more we care and he sees that 😁😁 Man those Gar!!!!!! I almost don't even cast near them they are SAVAGES up here 🤣

[@Matayosfishing]

O my God dude that storm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love how your laughing during it man we GOT to float together that looks insaneeeeee LOVE it!!!!!! That looks like one amazing float qnd ot screams I'm in Kentucky with those pop up storms🤣

[@ChrisMitchellFishing]

I completely agree with you on fish casualties. It happens and there's no ill intent. We all try our best to take care of them. It always makes me feel better thinking that another animal has an opportunity to eat. Btw, I stole your front camera idea.😂

[@Matayosfishing]

John my dude!!! Your down here sooooooo close to me man!! Next time you come down here hitnme up plz! I'd love to fish with ya and I can show ya my section that I fish on my channel. Boy that one 19 in her was hugeeeeee I see alot of those when I'm bank fishing but I'm usually always throwing a swimbait. I have a hard time finnese fishing sometimes with my adhd 🤣 Love the video good job Brother.

[@Matayosfishing]

Dang right those smallies are giving you a warm welcome home. They're telling you come back!!!!!🤘🤘🤣

[@aceboardtheangler5252]

Very cool homecoming video! You really got on some quality small jaws. I figured this was the video from your instagram page when you got poured on 🌧️ stay safe 🙏🏾

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

What a fantastic video! The way you shot and shared the beginning was great!! I really enjoy your vids for many reasons…biggest are no yelling and making a scene, NO foul language and a scripture verse to wrap it up! (This one was extra perfect!) Thanks for sharing all of it!

[@AmateurTennesseeFishing]

Enjoying the longer videos!

[@ronaldshank7589]

I'm gonna give this video a perfect 10 out of 10 score! Y'all had a great day fishing, and I don't personally remember when you've caught more Big Smallies than you can shake a stick at, for quite a while! As for that one Smallmouth Bass that apparently didn't make it...I really am sorry, but, as the old saying goes:"Them's the breaks". Also: When y'all got caught in that Thunderstorm, I was watching the lightning flashin' an' all, and I was thinking:"John, git out of the water, ya crazy galoot! Yer gonna get struck by lightning, if you ain't careful"! Just having a little fun with you there. Try not to backslide, now!🤪😜🤪! Finally, to top it all off, you used Psalm 55:8 as the Scripture Verse for today. God is so good to us, especially to those of us, who have received Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. His Precious Word is what keeps me going. Stay true and strong in the Lord, Brother John, and please pray for me, that I'll do the same. God bless! P. S.-This video, and the video you did a couple of years ago, when you caught some of the biggest Bass, and won a Fishing Tournament, right when a Vicious Thunderstorm tore through your area with Heavy Rain and Hail, are now easily in my top 3of the fishing videos that you've ever put out! Just thought you should know... Catch ya later!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks so much

[@ronaldshank7589]

@@CreekFishingAdventures I'm older than you are, and we're both Christians, so I kinda think of you, as a younger Brother, spiritually speaking. Just looking out for ya!

[@rogerpatton2242]

Geez, you left the kayak out in the truck?

[@davidwolfe7777]

I'm afraid one day it will be gone😢

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

do it all the time when travelling

[@brianwatson3705]

Looks like a great creek for a catch/cook/camp kind of trip

[@herecomestheboi1285]

*sees creek fishing adventure video come up. It's new. CLICKS IMMEDIATELY.*

[@LM-mi9yb]

A great fishing video! I live 40 miles from Bowling green in Logan County Kentucky. May I ask you the name of the creek and where you put in at? I would love to kayak fish the creek too. Thank you very much and may you have many more great adventures.

[@woofie8647]

Thanks for not playing music while you fish. It comes across much more natural, like we are there with you. So many KZbinrs make that mistake. Love your channel!

[@steveburlingame1935]

Awesome video glad ur safe its surprising fishing before a storm how good the bite can be

[@scottfrey2710]

Oh my gosh, John! ROFL at the verse you put at the end!! NICE!! Now excuse me, but I gotta go back to ROFL-ing again!! :-)

[@justinshannon814]

Beautiful creek and beautiful Smallies. I love catching them but they are smaller. Even they are fun. I caught an 18 incher years ago. Thankful I got a nice pic. It sucks that one of yours died. I'm glad you didn't edit it out. It sucks but it happens sometimes.

[@marthamitchell9452]

Hey I heard there is a big recall on Dodge Ram trucks, you might want to check on that. What a great trip. Great fishing, rain was okay, but the lightning could have been skipped. Went out on a high Cascades lake in and had just started across when the lightning started. Let’s see, metal boat, graphite rods, lightning every few minutes, nah, we are going back.

[@brianathern9154]

Awesome video brother. Smallies were active before the monsoon hit and you got to hang out and fish with old friends. Hey warn them folks I'll be invading that area from the north next week. ⚠️ Great witness also John, thank you for being yourself.

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Awesome video and fishing trip thanks for sharing bsafe God bless you I've actually been in a Strom like that on a Kayak man it was scary because of the lightning 🌩 😀

[@The-Host]

I see some channels where they purposely let the fish eat the lure so much that they end up killing 7 or more fish a video! They act like that's just part of it. I get the occasional death. But not every fish you catch. One reason I'm subbed to this channel and not others.

[@rickypalmer3833]

Great video!! I live just outside bowing green and I thought I knew what creek this was, but just curious which one it is???

[@honeycreekfishing]

You had a great day! Amazing video! It’s crazy but I get a rush out of the sketchy weather.

[@Jackalspit]

My friend deep hooked a big smallmouth once on a canoe/camp trip. We cleaned and scaled it, and covered it inside and out with old bay and butter and roasted it over the campfire. One of the tastiest fish ever. Just saying. I hated that it died but at least it provided a good meal for us.

[@charliemcallister3072]

I know you like the raised seat open style fishing kayaks but on a river like this it seems like the Old Town Loon fishing Kayak would be safer and drier. It is a sit in kayak and you should have been able to go down most of those rapids. Right now I am fishing out of an old Dagger Crossover which is a cross between a whitewater kayak and a river kayak. I am going to put rod holders on it and add an anchor.

[@travisthemighty7375]

Awesome intro B-roll brother. Always love watching you. If you ever get a chance to get out to the Collins in Smyrna hit me up. Stay safe man!

[@KFKxBuKShoT]

So much good fishing around BG. Love spending time on Drakes and Green both.

[@dougp8345]

Sent message thru FB, hope you get it. Love this video cuz it's close to me and I miss creek fishing solid bottom creeks. Keep em coming!

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

I don’t think anyone that has a little decency about them wants to kill fish . The fact is it happens sometimes. You put fourth a honest effort to revive it. Just call it unfortunate and move on and catch another one 👍

[@brucebrown73]

Funny, I was just asking myself as this video started; “ I wonder how he isn’t getting ticks all the time out there?”

[@Bowhunterwt]

I live in Bowling Green, KY. I been trying to find some places to bank fish from.

[@bobbyclark4758]

Those who would have a hissy fit over that fish, are those who would not have a problem with unborn children being mrdered.

john you can cary a hammok tarp they light weight and make for great cover if you get cought in storm like that i keep one on my yak becouse we got cought in a pop up on the river and wished we had a way to hunker down and covered from the hail rain dont bother me but hail makes it ruff

[@dragchute1]

What we endure for a great fishing day 😅😅. Hail is like discovering a wasp nest in a flower bed.

[@joelj1355]

Your true nature as a sportsman shows through in your concern over the fish in distress; men of character show respect for wildlife when hunting and fishing.

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

That was a pretty good thunderstorm at the end that lightning is a little scary nice fish guys enjoyed the video 👍

[@andyguiles2514]

Good catch on that Big fish the one that might die floating down river.....However if it was me I would have made a fish fry out of him

[@yakfishkevin]

I’ve watched this video a few times because of the thunder storm right at the end! That was awesome!!!

[@warmwaterstalker]

Yum might as rename that bubblegum yellow hellgrammite the JD special cause they hand you in mind when they made it.

[@anthonyhipps8500]

John, nothing wrong with keeping that one to eat. You did your best to revive it, but never forget fishing is a blood sport.

[@roberthenderson699]

Gotta be Drake's Creek? I work in Franklin, KY would like to try it out

I live and fish in Bowling Green. I can tell you the good spots.

[@Basket_Case_1]

Man, it's really devastating when a fish dies like that. But it's just another part of fishing. You could just as easily have edited it out, but you chose to show it. Respect.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its disappointing but i wanted people to see it happens sometimes

[@fiddlingary]

Hey howdy from Bowling Green. Looks like Drakes creek

[@christianshadow502]

You are the reason i bought a kayak this year and ive loved fishing from it!

[@waitaminute7257]

Nothing like being in the water near a lightning storm with graphite fishing rods 👍

[@ALNTV1541]

Do you only use a spinning reel and rod? I picked up off of marketplace yesterday a St Croix premier 6’6 spinning rod for $20. The guy didn’t know what he had. Said his son had moved away and left it there.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

most of the time but not always, thats a good find

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Probably the most exciting video that I've seen on your channel, it had everything. Good job John! 😎🎣🎥🏆

[@DTraylor]

No way!!!!!! I'm just 45 mins from BG. That's awesome. Are you fishing drake's Creek?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

a creek that feeds drakes

[@wrightackle1]

Why in the world didn't you keep the fish to eat? That makes no sense unless for some reason you are prevented from taking the fish because of regulations. They have to be good eating coming from a pretty creek like that. I know you mentioned in other videos that you don't like to eat fish, which I always thought was strange. I love your creek adventures. I follow you and Richard Gene. He releases a ton of fish but every once in a while he will keep a mess to eat.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

why would i take that fish to eat, i like fish but that one fish would have been a hassle to take somewhere to clean and cook, especially since i was staying at a motel

[@williamanderson1231]

Excellent video. At the end what were you doing? I would think the fish would be fired up during that. What an excellent day. Thank you for taking us along.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

we were loading our kayak up at the end, we made it to the takeout

[@cavefish8]

Me and my 8 year old river fish out of a Jackson Big Tuna every weekend. It's all he cares about these days. We watch your videos every night before bed. Keep up the good work. He told me last night "dad we really gotta get some of them hellgramites". We really appreciate and enjoy your content.

[@waterratlyle2590]

Well done everyone and way to fight the storm.
