Homecoming Creek Fishing SURPRISE!!

[@dawnroberson-y3z]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@suemartinez715]

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

[@st93er]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@KyleUselton-is6ue]

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

[@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!!😉👍

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@donmclemore1396]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. 😊

[@KFKxBuKShoT]

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

[@bryantdodd6636]

I live in Franklin Kentucky about 2 minutes from drakes creek crazy what I catch out of that little creek

[@KFKxBuKShoT]

@@bryantdodd6636 I’m a BG native and have floated/ waded Drake’s and the Geeen river tons. So many good memories. They’ve got a little bit of everything.

[@backwoodsbassmen6831]

Live in edmonson county would love to meet some people to get together and float and fish with

[@HOLDFASTHOUND]

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 👍

[@jayhuber1744]

Impossible to pick my favorite video of yours because there are so many good ones, but this one has to be in my top 5. It had highlights, struggles, and the perfect Bible verse at the end. God bless, John.

[@heavenbound358]

Definitely a quality smallmouth, John

[@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!!

[@502austin8]

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

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its on the list

[@randyblevins9489]

Great video ! It has every element for "Creek Fishing Adventures" award for the year ! Glad you were able to get back to Kentucky for a trip. Lots of beautiful fish for your group. When you were in the storm, I got a little worried about that Lightin' Rod sticking up on the back of your boat !!!!!! LOL ! As for the smallie that didn't make it, it happens to all who fish at one time or another. As you thoughtfully described, it became as the circle (cycle) of life. Always good to re-connect with old friends. Thanks for taking us along with ya'll. Perfect WORD at the close. Always be safe. Pap Blevins (S.E. Kentucky)

[@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!🎣👍

[@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 🙏

[@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!

[@nancyh9049]

I am not much of a commenter but that video was just captivating. And sometimes fish don't always make it but that is the exception and not the rule. Thank you for for the ride! Truly blessed.

[@brianwatson3705]

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

[@todddonaldson2822]

You won’t forget this one ever! Thank you for taking us along. vaya con Dios

[@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.

[@JeremyMartin-xq7pb]

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

[@steveburlingame1935]

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

[@Matayosfishing]

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

[@AmateurTennesseeFishing]

Enjoying the longer videos!

[@powersaustin63]

Great day fishing! Thanks John.

[@allstarplumbingremodel1783]

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

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

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

[@hilljackoutdoors2808]

WOW... What a great video. Y'all had a great day fishing, and then watching Y'all paddle in during the storm was fun as well. Great job John!!!!!!

[@davidburdette9411]

I bet out of all of your fishing trips, this one will never be forgotten. I enjoyed watching your adventure.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You got that right!

[@christianshadow502]

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

[@bigsimms75]

This was one of the best ones yet. Thanks for all you do, God bless!

[@jeffnelson9420]

Get'er done!!! Stay safe and have a Blessed Day!!!

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@borisdoore1041]

Great video John and a true creek adventure !!! Loved it , thanks for sharing 🎣🙂

[@tomritter493]

Great passage from the good book to fit the ending .nice fish came out of there John 😊

[@sunday8979]

Your intros and videos overall have really gotten better recently! I love how you’re incorporating musical transitions. Great job!

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Great looking creek. I've got a work trip in Kentucky next week. Hoping I have some off time to try out their creeks myself

[@roberthall8110]

Out of East TN vacationing at St Simons the only fish I've seen caught are on this video. LOL ! Keep em coming we love em!

[@garyspangler5546]

Continue while you're young. I absolutely love watching your videos.

[@larrystephens7437]

At :20 I said to myself I know where that is. Healthy fish and a very fun video.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Kentucky is blessed with small stream fishing. I would like to see some videos on the tributary streams that flow into Barkley and Ky Lakes.

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great video as always! You rock my friend! Really enjoy watching you out there on the water doing your thing. Sorry you got caught in that storm! It didn't sound very good. You had some nice catches. Keep up the good work! And as always, #CreekFishingAdventures rocks!!!

[@joehouchensii1433]

Small world! I recognized that shoreline immediately…born and raised in BG. Ironically, my mother hails from Etowah and have family in Cleveland and Benton too, so your videos on the Hiwassee, etc bring back memories. Awesome channel!

[@backwoodsbassmen6831]

From BG would love to know the name of the creek myself

[@joehouchensii1433]

This was Trammel in Allen County

[@rmltperry6163]

@@joehouchensii1433 I thought that looked like Trammel Creek. From Franklin (Gold City, actually) originally. Fished that area a lot!

[@joshbooher]

Love the beginning with the music! Absolutely stunning area 💯

[@letsgofishing4904]

Great experiences shared with friends with stories to reflect on. Some of my best trips evolved a storm rolling in. Nice video!

[@media1groupDC]

Kodak moment you boys will always remember! God got you through the storm!

[@dennistidwell7188]

Home is where the heart is. Awesome trip....

That was a epic trip. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@walter1742]

Kentucky is a wild place,I lived there for a short while and from swinging on vines and jumping off boulders in Rockcastle river to the strange stories and things that I encountered there the big small mouth stick out the most even caught a 8 1/5 in rock bass ! Please do more adventures there would love to see what you get at Rockcastle off 80 God Bless 👍

Stayed at The good ol Ramada cool to see you where in town

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 🌩 😀

[@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!

[@mikeadair4793]

As always, God bless your adventures in his name.

[@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.

[@honeycreekfishing]

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

[@prestonrussell605]

This creek looks pretty nice, it looks like a successful day of fishing!

[@mikeboyce584]

You're old kentucky you're old kentucky home You're gonna have to get back to her more often. What a fantastic trip and fish. When you get excited so do we.

[@waterratlyle2590]

Well done everyone and way to fight the storm.

[@blue-sc1se]

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

[@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 🙏🏾

[@sed6]

Only thing better than fishing is watching John fish!

[@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🤣

[@tjbrown6416]

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

[@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

[@lesterreaper9696]

Great stuff as always John

[@mattthomen1608]

Your adventure was awsome! Catching some good ones. in a rain storm getting some good nature 👌

[@rickyflinchum2909]

That is a nice creek. Good looking deeper holes and runs. Sucks to lose a fish to a gut hook, but it happens if you fish long enough. Lots of quality smallies in that creek. Been on the water myself when a thunderstorm rolls in, do not care for it, but it happens. Always like the scripture at the end of your videos. Keep on keeping on.

[@corey8420]

Went smallmouth fishing today in Oregon. Thanks to you and your videos, my friend and I used the Nikko, hellgrammites, 3", Magma colorand we crushed it. They would not touch the dark colored hellgrammites for some reason.

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

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

[@johnbartlett7000]

Been raining 🌧 in New Hampshire for a month all the rivers and creeks are over flowing been jonesing to get out there

[@yakfishkevin]

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

[@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!! :-)

[@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.😂

[@noelmedina4629]

Dude , you’re an awesome fisherman, recently I’ve fell from a 16ft drop at work and compressed fractured my neck and spine … every time you post I feel like I’m back at fishing ! Every video I learn something new and I’m so ready to get back to it! 😅 2 more months and I’ll be back at it 🤙🏽

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

man thats rough, glad to hear you being optimistic

[@williambellisIII]

Awesome fishing! Jealous. Major bummer about that one big smallie, but I appreciate your perspective and words about it. And your editing, music, etc. has gotten so much better. Professional without losing the appeal of a “homemade KZbinr.”

[@kylexplors]

Love your videos man this is a complete different style of intro but it works so well. God bless you

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I appreciate that!

[@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.

[@rexbronzbackhero2373]

That’s a nice creek.. there are muskys in there! Have you ever adventured out to tarmeel creek by romansa state park close to russelville

[@backwoodsbassmen6831]

Curious as to what creek it is, I’ve never been on it and I too live in BG

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

dont think there are musky in this one but the creek it runs into has them

[@ZackaryFoxAdventures]

Wow what an adventure glad y’all are safe. 🙌

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

[@matthewlindsey7717]

Now thats some familiar looking water lol Glad you had a good time there

[@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.

[@oldlifter530]

Thank you for the escape 🌅🤗👍🙋🇭🇲

[@nway37849]

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

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