Canal hopping in the Everglades...way better than 4 degrees when I woke up. Nice Oscar, bowfin, and sunfish. I believe down down South they're called Bream pronounced brim? Either way love it brother

[@danielforehand2572]

Sooooo jealous especially with very light snow, snow fog and 14 degrees here north of Denver this morning! 🥶 The high Sunday is 7 and low -6.....can not wait to get back to GOD's country in the deep south! Thank you again and again John for bringing joy and warmth to all of us locked down in the cold!

[@TheFishingNomad]

6:03 is a bluegill. Coppernose subspecies.

[@TheFishingNomad]

6:43 is a bluegill as well.

[@TheFishingNomad]

7:05 is a bluegill as well lol

[@TheFishingNomad]

7:54 is a bluegill too lol the Everglades has 5 species of sunfish in the lepomis genus. Bluegills, redears, spotted, dollar, and warmouths are all found in the Everglades. Bluegills are the most common though.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks

[@christopherwood2290]

That Oscar was gnarly looking. Looked slimy lol! Surprised John unhooked him! Remember John and that Fluke? Great video dude. You are making winter a little easier for us all.

[@angiegaston1772]

They are really slimy but there good eating

[@danielruprecht8932]

Good timing. It's too cold to fish up here.

[@crazyfish9523]

I just like the video before I watched it. Because Ik very video of his is a banger!

[@bluesbondsman]

Our high temp this weekend is going to be 9 degrees, yep that's the high temp !! You my friend are blessed to fish in Tshirt weather this time of year, Lake Michigan has frozen over on the shore for as far as the eye can see. My 25 year old daughter and I are sitting here watching and so jealous ! Getting our gear read but it will be another couple of months before we get out.

[@stevehammond2016]

There you go , having too much fun again . I really enjoy the under water camera shots . I know you have to go where they are but Mama always said , ¨"Don´t play on the highway ¨ !

[@kxry4679]

Love these videos, this is basically my backyard! Find some big spill ways and catch little fish and use them as bait EDIT: at 4:14, be careful of giving them to people. You’re only allowed to posses 2 and only one can be greater than 17 inches!

[@bige5838]

I used to have a big ole oscar in my fish tank it is crazy to watch you catch them on a pole

[@JavierGarciaGarcia-s1w]

When I was fifteen years old I took a job at a tropical fresh water fish farm east of Deerfield Beach FL at 1.25$ per hour. It was called Panagra fish farm and the farmer was a kind man called Rudy. He had hundreds of pools with different types of exotics from south America and Africa and the pool that impressed me most was the breeder pool for the red Oscar. He told me how much he had invested to buy and import ten of them and I still have trouble believing it. He also brought in the first batch of the Florida walking cat fish that at first were all albino and excaped like the Oscars did eventually. Good memories!

[@richardmarsh9257]

This cold weather needs to get out of here! I got to go fishing now!

[@timberryhill658]

Fun size peacock bass... anything like fun size m&M's?. Probably not but any fish you get to unhook is fun size. Brother you are making me miss Fl for sure. Glad you are having fun stay safe. Thanks for sharing John. God bless brother.

[@DCHZS]

Another great vid bro... I live down here in miami

[@snakehandler87]

Is that water freshwater or brackish?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

freshwater

[@austinmiller3497]

Awesome video at least you're down here in Florida instead up in Kentucky and Tennessee you are probably getting snow and ice up home

[@carlyr5716]

I really like your videos...I learn a lot and love your thought for the day at the end of each! Keep ‘em coming’

[@SK-zy6el]

Wish I were with you. Looks like the weather is nice, too bad for me. If you were in Ky. you could use your canoe to travel up the road, freezing rain, and a lot. The fishing looks great. Love seeing the different types of fish. Safe trip back up here

[@MackinNC1]

Nice underwater footage. especially of the gar...I got the Florida gar off my list last year.

[@kirkdavis2881]

Hit some of the canals further southwest and get some snook and baby tarpon. Snook stack up under bridges and have at least 20lb mono for your leader

[@hertzer2000]

Makes me happy you are having a bla in Florida.

[@juanvaldez5811]

That looked like so much fun!

[@centralfloridafishingsourc8249]

Those were south Florida bluegills. Look different than up in SE Tenessee. I used to catch southern chain pickerel around the bridges west of 27 and I-75 outside of Ft. Lauderdale towards Naples. That's another species to try and mix in.

[@ikepool3590]

The bluegill you were catching looked like copper nose bluegill

[@randymagnum8721]

Hey bud, there's nothing wrong with smashing down the barbs on your hooks...especially when you're catching and releasing lots of little fish.

[@AlexGarcia-ew2fv]

I've caught some nice fish on cut..Blu Gil..Oscar's n snake head as bait..u gotta give fish the same bait.they eat >>where they live n ur always gonna have a Productive Day

[@andromolina7468]

After watching the last video and this one, you made me plan a trip to go fish in Florida! I live in Eastern NC so it's a long drive but probably worth it!

[@rogerdickinson9335]

North Florida is basically identical to Eastern NC, so you won’t notice a difference until you get down the peninsula some. South Florida is a whole different world

[@andromolina7468]

@@rogerdickinson9335 yeah that's what I meant by Florida. I really want to go down near Miami and the everglades

[@interminablyperplexed4903]

Andro, I live at the beach in NC...take your time and enjoy if u have the time. I hit the keys and surrounding areas a few times a year and I've found the best way to make the trip is to drive to cocoa Beach/Sébastien inlet area(8hrs from my house), stay there at that beautiful campground on the water and fish a day or two as u won't regret it. Then make the remaining drive. On the way back hit one of the beautiful Springs like Juniper, Blue Hole etc and camp over night. The springs are 72 degrees year round. Then head back to NC and plan your next trip or move! Lol. Good stuff. Enjoy!

[@makeyasaywat7516]

I love Oscar fish, I think they will turn to their true colors when they are taken care of in an aquarium. They grow as big as their environment will let them. I had one that grew to the size of the palm of a mans hand. He was blue/purple/black coloration and got so big we fed him shrimp and grubs. He lived for 6 years up until the “ick” got him. He was to big to flush so we gave him a proper burial.

[@rcelect.6241]

The shadows showing good now!

[@billskinner623]

First sunfish you caught was a Green Ear Sunfish. The Bluegills were darker due to tannins in the water.

[@gogglespaesano8102]

I only went fishing for Peacocks once and I didn't catch any but I saw one and I count that as a victory lol! I did catch a couple of weird catfish though... I think I wandered into the salt because they were kinda strange. Sadly, when my parents lived in Florida, I never knew this existed. Now instead of yearly visits to see my parents, I get occasional(few and far between) trips to see other relatives with little time for fishing.

[@williambellisIII]

Fun area. Made this trip a year or two ago and had a blast. On another note, I hate when random people ask for your fish. Get your own; I’m releasing mine.

Yah idk why they even wanted peacock that small, I live here in Florida and lots of people ask me if they can keep the bass I catch but I always throw them back

[@williambellisIII]

Peacocks fight 100 times harder than large and small mouth do. They’ve got incredible strength

[@BASSnBEER]

Those Peacock Bass are awesome dude!

[@darrellbaker2895]

Have you forsaken the fly rod? I can't think of a more fun way to catch pan fish. Here's an idea for you. Using floating fly line, tie a popper at the end of the leader. To the bend in the popper hook, attach an 18-24" monofilament line and tie a small sinking nymph fly to the end of it. You''ll be covering both top water and subsurface with the same cast. Frequently, you'll catch two pan fish simultaneously. After watching you catch fish on the hellgrammite, I'm thinking of trying the hellgrammite with a fly rod using sinking fly line. I'll probably rely on the weight of the hook alone. Even small bass will present one heck of a fight on a fly rod.

It's neat to see you traveling around fishing different areas enjoyed itif you ever want to kick some huge blue cats think about fishing the lower James River but you need a boat we catch a lot of fish in the 30 to 50 lb range and occasionally some in the 60-80 lb range
