Sight Fishing River SMALLIES gets INSANE!!

It's that time of the year when the water is warming up and the fish start to feed up for spawning. The fish in small river are usually very dormant during the winter but can be very aggressive during spring. I went to search for smallmouth bass in a few different sections of the ocoee river in search of hungry bass.

This. Right here. Small river smallmouth fishing. It will forever be my favorite way to fish.

[@christiankell6074]

i forget just how pretty that area really is when the water is up and flowing so hard during the rafting season... But when the water is low and you can see all those pools, and the structure of the river; its a master piece of the lords creation. And then you have the amazing wild life, and the incredible fishing ; like we just witnessed and you are overwhelmed. Praise God for the many gifts we have and let us never take them for granted. Another outstanding video John and thank you for continuing to entertain us. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!

[@OntheRealFishing]

Those rock structures are amazing and that water was so clear. Beautiful video Sir! Got my first Rock Bass out of a creek this morning.

[@harrisonlynn8672]

The thrill of seeing them eat it is like nothing else

[@stevehammond2016]

I just don't know who had more fun . You catching all of the bass { and trout } or myself watching you catching all of them .

[@LadyVoldemort]

I've seen some nasty stuffs today, this beautiful river and big fish cleanse my eyes. Thank you!

[@jeremywarren7424]

Yup, my friend, you dipped your hand in a cloud of liquid frog and her string of pearls lol. Nature is beautiful.

[@TreyTheFisherman]

Great smallmouth fishing! These are the og creek fishing adventures videos now!

[@UtahTenkara]

What a beautiful river! Thanks for sharing.

[@scoobasteve912]

The sceneries you get to fish in are 2nd to none

[@ZekeFishingPro]

That is such an cool place to fish!!! Smallmouth are my favorite fish to catch....and also eat. You should do a catch and cook for Smallmouth. Love you new kayak too!!!

[@dante04srt]

Cool! We were just there this past weekend, camping (and fishing) at Parksville Lake CG. Caught my first 2 spotted bass (fishing newbie at 39 y/o).

[@markstaten9526]

the frog is like ummmmmmm excuse us mr, GET LOST! lolllll

[@dillandrews4460]

I love that dark green color on those river smallies.

[@ScotWalt858]

Very nice!! Suggestion: Take your needle nose and bear down on the hook barbs. They'll usually break off. Much easier to get the hook out when barbless. You won't lose as you always keep tight lines!

[@bmiller8255]

We love it up there. I figured all those fish were in there but just never had a rod with me when we were up there. Great day!!

[@richardknox1028]

Really great running into you at Douglas lake. Hope to catch up sometime and maybe do an overnighter catch-n-cook, share some fun and videos with the peeps. Smoky Mountain Outpost

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah man that would be fun

[@SK-zy6el]

Would love to have a few of those smallies also some of those b-u-t-ful rocks. I love the dappling water made. I believe this is one of the best-looking rivers you have fished. How could anyone think our Lord didn't make places like these for all to enjoy. Bless you, for making my day so enjoyable. Your videos keep getting better all the time

[@mikeboyce584]

Gone fishing tomorrow and Thursday hope cricks go down some know the smallies are moving up here. Watching you catch them makes we want to that much more God bless you John

[@fahimmuhtadi8896]

OG fans will know that the first location he fished in already before

[@ronaldshank7589]

I think he caught at least a couple of Bass out of that spot, too, didn't he? I think that that was last year. Not sure, but I think so.

[@nathananderson3681]

He has fished there atleast once before, possibly more

[@kobetate2364]

A tip : watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

[@franciscash2141]

@Kobe Tate Yea, been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself :D

[@danielforehand2572]

I can not say it too many times....you have the most perfectly beautiful places to fish as anywhere in the world! Thank you for helping a lot of us that either have no good place to fish or still stuck in winter....or both!!

[@trophyadventures6258]

That place looks awesome! Great job brother. God bless

[@stevehogan8829]

Such a beautiful creek and beautiful healthy fish. Thanks for sharing this with us. Very much fun. See you are approaching 100M. Keep it coming. Also thanks for telling us about the work before the fish. Nice to know the amount of effort it takes to "find the fish".

[@hilljackoutdoors2808]

Love it when you fish this river. Such a beautiful location, and so many cool features in it. Great video bud!!!!!

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

Beautiful place and even more beautiful fish

[@kennyw6932]

That is some beautiful water. I'm looking forward to seeing more video from this area. Thanks for sharing.

[@XxMrRoachxX]

Absolute Fire John!!! I live only 40min from there and will definitely have to try that out when the water is low.

[@stevenkim6812]

Pound for pound, some of the best fishing in the world right there

[@rexpaulbronzbackhero2373]

That second fish looked like a shoal bass man! Check in to it.? Some one second me!

[@anastaciolopez1434]

Sight fishing is awesome ain't it? You do seem to find the most paradise type spots to fish at. Great job on this video.

[@patmckeehan6236]

I’ve been chompin’ at the bit to get back to the water and this has inspired me to MAKE time to get there! Great video John!

[@bellbucksnbeards]

You've been killing it lately!

[@Talonfrank1]

Holy cow you are putting in so much effort! Nice job!

[@bobwarren8836]

Maybe my favorite video you have done. Beautiful place, crystal clear water, and so many fish. Great job.

[@gloryboundoutdoors974]

Outstanding day of fishing! Those were some beautiful smallmouth, wish we had them like that around here. Great video John!

[@ronaldshank7589]

John-You may already know this, but in clear water such as this, try using Low Visibility Fishing Line. Stren makes what they call Lo-Vis Line, and it's available in any line weight that you need. Just trying to help.

[@shanenelson1432]

Thanks for the great fishing videos. Thanks to my broken foot this is how I keep my sanity. Can't wait to hit up the Bass fishing on the Chattooga River.

[@jeffnordquist9231]

You hit a fantastic spot. You caught soo many nice small mouth bass. They would be good eating. Definitely would go back to that spot again.

[@leemowers9395]

cool fishing trip, nice catches. Thanks John

[@RedTed1958]

I always enjoy your videos! I especially enjoyed your everglades videos. Thank you!

[@williamboyd776]

What a way to start an awesome video. Thnx for sharin despite the rough beginning

[@brianathern9154]

Nice productive outing, love the sight fishing bites. Gets the adrenaline pumping. My best topwater smally came across 25 yards of river in clear water to slam my popper. Jig bites are just as much fun. Thanks for sharing with us brother John.

[@mardelshumake922]

John, thanks for the vicarious fishing trip. After a hard of fishing I will sleep well tonight.

[@joeyy9499]

Smallmouth fight like crazy. This is a great channel. Been goin back through watching some of your older videos again. Hoping you hit 100,000 subscribers if not more this year. Tight lines!

[@timlacy2284]

Way to go , and thanks for all the walking you did and I hope to get to fish there one day.

[@KayakFishingWithMark]

Thanks for sharing Richard. Always love watching you fish. May God bless you and all your subscribers. Thanks!

[@tenncutt]

Richard's name is John!

[@KayakFishingWithMark]

@@tenncutt oh thank you!

[@monkdogg12]

Good video John ...you have me wanting to fish over there now

[@FarkyDave]

Love watching the fun you are having!!

[@levimcdaniel4132]

I just caught a really big smallmouth with my dad today. Love your videos. Keep on making the great content.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Nice work!

[@scottyhardwick5806]

Great job as always John!

[@kathyk8310]

I've missed watching videos. My dad fell a week ago and has been in the hospital until today.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Ma'am, I know that I don't know you, but hopefully you won't mind my offering my condolences, and I sincerely hope that he'll get well soon. God bless!

[@markjugg7826]

Great job John!

[@JD-HALL]

Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing

[@OhioFishGuy1]

That place looks amazing. Beautiful spot. I am ready to go to catch some spring smallies!

[@drbigmdftnu]

Remarkable fishing. Gorgeous stream

[@thoraxe2000]

Nice beautiful creek, good smallies

[@BASSnBEER]

Now that looks fun dude!!!

[@tomooms1167]

My ex had a vague tooth patch. Warmouth. Take my word for it.

[@PopPopTN]

Hahaha!

[@SK-zy6el]

Hilarious, know the feeling he's not only a warmouth but a largemouth in the making

[@peterschuenke4274]

That bring able to see the fish is cheating lol. Great video as always, John.

[@fishingmike5281]

killer video. love them type of days.

[@crchavis700]

Great video I have been trying to find some nice creeks to fish

[@2007dixiegirl]

That was awesome. The wind is a little bit of a pain in the neck. 👍

[@elvisjerrylee]

At 7:40......Those two need to get a room !!!!...LOL

[@johnsfishingjourneys]

Ohh yeah...Love it! Thank you!

[@911life5]

Awesome video man! Would love to see you hit up parksville dam again. We keep trying but can’t have any luck there but I keep hearing stories of musky in there lol God bless!

[@lesterreaper9696]

If only I could walk John enjoying the video awesome!

[@juliotorres71jt]

I caught my first bass of 2021 on a cheap huggermitte that came in a creek fishing box from Walmart

[@jdcreamer435]

Looks like a blast!

[@christopherwood2290]

A Dalton classic!

[@joekordish658]

This video was so good just like all your videos.

[@CUinthemeantime]

Tennessee....God’s masterpiece! Another great outing! I’m waiting on my call to come join ya.

[@davidlane7434]

Michigan.....god’s country!

[@thefirststrike]

Awesome. What a great day! That's how we like it.

[@timberryhill658]

Man, nuthin like seein em take the bait. In water that clear I reckon they can see you too. John your videos are consistently great. God bless.

[@joshpearce9864]

Awesome man keep it up those smallies are turned on ...

[@CREEKFISHING423]

I've got to get down that way sometime. Beautiful clear water!

[@ronaldshank7589]

The only thing about fishing clear water like that, is that you should keep a low profile. If the Fish can see you, they may not bite. But-If you sit down on the bank, or possibly a spot near the bank, but behind a clump of bushes or tall grass, you should catch more fish. Just a helpful hint.

[@user-ru8zs5pb5m]

Absolute beautiful place!!

[@gideon7359]

Dude. When the frogs are locked in, don’t come a knockin!

[@matthewdecker2299]

That was some good fishing!

[@judithkennedy2011]

Beautiful river!

[@oldprankster7606]

East Tennessee streams rock!

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Dang those rock features are cool as heck!! I just bought another Hobie and am moving up to Chatt here in the next month.. your videos got me stoked :D

[@michelkatje5956]

Awesome catches

[@FishHookedFishing]

Crazy stuff John!! Tight lines from FishHooked brother

[@Youheardwhat69]

Just started watching the page a week ago, I’m from middle GA and I just WISH I could fish some spots like this hahahah

[@m17glock35]

awesome fishing brother ! i can remember when that whole stretch of water was "dead" not even a minnow in it .

[@user-bn3zo3mh5v]

John, have you ever rigged any craws or hellgrammites backwards to normal rigging and let them glide differently through the water. Gonna start trying this some myself. You have so many schooling fish you may have to throw an umbrella rig and catch 3 smallies at a time!

[@kierra_mist]

What a beautiful place ❤

[@mashukyreilight]

Love a smally for a tank got 2 largys that get along would love to have one of them as well originally from Maine where I could catch both largemouth and smallmouth bass

[@msmascare]

Great vid! You destroyed those smallies with the helgrammite.

[@charternicholson9495]

I love the Ocoee river, if that is how you spell it, it is awesome for hiking, fishing and just hanging out. They intermittent openings for that you can picnic and enjoy. Nice job john ( I think that is your name) I love it! Great job!

[@jaecubed592]

What a great day of fishing.

[@matisanchez3753]

Wow that’s beautiful!!!

[@dominicle8176]

Man you need to go salt water fishing again. I spent 18 years of my life on the Gulf Coast. Theres nothing better than fishing those waters. So dynamic and such bio diversity. Cant beat it.

[@dmorgan1307]

ive caught redfish and largemouth with those kinds of deformations. Not sure why it happens, but the fish seem unaffected by it, still able to feed and fight like they should. couldn't tell a difference in take, fight and all that until they come out of the water and you get a good look at them.

[@michaelraymond4238]

That river is beautiful

[@diepharrison5227]

beautiful place to fish!

[@jrak4071]

Beautiful water

[@brentonatkins]

So awesome!

[@tylerp1105]

I love when you fish these mountain rivers, reminds me of the time I went to Oconee county South Carolina. They had some beautiful spots like this, smallmouth everywhere.

[@clockfixerar]

Bend the barb down on the hook, you reel them in fast enough, they won't get off, also will make it easier to get the hook out.
