Fishing for Super STRONG Fish in the RAIN (CLEAR WATER Creek!!)

[@christiankell6074]

What a tough day you had here John., but like always you keep at it and it seemed to pay off... True measure of an angler is his ability to persevere, and keep his focus. God Bless and Go Kats!!!!

[@erautosales4997]

Two thumbs up for..."The Creek Angler Master". I wish I was having as much fun as you. Keep it up brother.

[@andrewshuford]

I'll take your bad fishing day anytime, awesome video. Keep safe.

[@rell517123]

indeed John's awesome 👍👍✌

[@livinglifeoutdoorstv6550]

Worst day fishing is better than the best day working. God bless brother. Keep the faith.

[@brianathern9154]

Found this gem from 6 months ago. You were killing it brother. Mostly my rainy fishing days take me from the creeks that muddy up quickly to the local ponds. Good perseverance lesson here. Thanks John

[@glennmcleod4751]

I agree with E...you are the creek master.....

[@jimmieevans7175]

Good luck catch some big fish

[@rell517123]

thanks for another awesome fishing trip Sir 👍👍✌ please continue to be careful & stay safe 👍👍✌

[@earthwormjfishing2362]

It’s raining right now where I’m at. Was gonna stay in, but because of this video I’m gonna head out and film. The creek master!!

Super video continues like this ..... until the days again 😉👍

[@patrickhartman6818]

don't worry about the ones you lost John they will be back there for the next time love your program thank you

[@MonkeysMom15]

My dad would have said that those fish had full bellies and empty heads. They weren't hungry but they couldn't resist going after something in their water. Happy fishing.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i think you might be on to something with that, thats definitely how it was seeming, i got all kinds of other comments but we really dont know for sure

[@timberryhill658]

Isn't it amazing how sometimes times they just keep coming unbuttoned and then all the sudden none of them do. Still everyone one of em get your adrenalin going. Thanks for sharing John. God Bless

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

So true!

[@OzarkRiverBanks]

AMEN! Josh sometime maybe try widening the gap of your hook just a tiny bit!

[@marywebster5177]

Everybody has a bad fishing day. Mother nature just didnt want to give you a fish that day. I loved the video. Its always fun to play with them too 😉

[@brianhenson5643]

I’ve fished that spot about a hundred times. If you go upstream about a half a mile there’s a dam. I’ve caught good sized smallies there. I love that creek.

[@jeremystark3350]

Had alot of my best strikes in the rain. Got me binge watching all these cause I havent fished in a few months and feeling the urge to catch a few fish. Thanks for the Videos from a fellow angler in Jax., Fl. 👊👍😊

[@fishingtrapping42]

That really good place for fishing

[@gregvasquez5034]

Liked your video dispite your losses . I also enjoyed the views your camera always provides .

[@tobywheatley7657]

Try fishing at lake Conroe if you want some shad and smallmouth

[@msmascare]

Great job not giving up and instead changing up your fishing gear!

[@jsiniguez]

Very nice.

[@Letsgoexplore2468]

Checking the level of the water and catch a nice small jaw!!. Next time in Indiana please hit me up. You and Hoosierback!! Awesome video man!

[@ericharrower207]

Great video. They were doing this to me yesterday in MO.

[@FrankWolfeUDL]

Perfect creek, with those deep runs and pounders hiding out!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i could fish this everyday

[@Chief-bp4zk]

Keep it up man I’ll be here for as long as these videos are uploaded and you are still as humble i love it

[@southoutmcknight3263]

Great video. Hey any fisherman knows fishing is Frustrating more than good. Most of the time. Looks like a cool spot though. That’s cool just riding and mapping spots. My style.

[@earlrogers5215]

Hey man, thanks for showing all the ones that got off. It happens to us all every once in a while. Keep being real!

[@mikemiddlebrook416]

Those were really had fish. But that was a really nice video. Really great creek. 😊

[@daniellewis6833]

Hey Jon I love your videos man I've been watching your videos for over two years I've learned so many tips and tricks that was a good day of fishing stay blessed my friend and tight lines

[@sladerpizzini9997]

I love your videos!! You have inspired me to use a ton of new lures. I recently bought a bass boat so I can be more like you! Thanks for all the fun videos!

[@thomasodowd4564]

Really feeling for ya bro! Those were tough misses. But, you kept after it!

[@javasoccernut]

Tons better than my best day. Fishing or hunting.

[@bullishbeartrader6121]

You never lose that many. Might be just short strikes It's all good great video

[@stonefly69]

Whenever I lose fish, and it happens, I take out my file or sharpening stone and relentless me sharpen my hooks to razor sharp. Tight lines!

[@michaelcollins1685]

Nice always love to watch your videos

[@adamgable4346]

Good to see that losing a few fish didn’t ruin the fun of fishing!

[@jeffharris3865]

Totally cool fishing, cant wait myself to go again.

[@joshuawilson8182]

I'm so glad your day turned out great. Great video.

[@fishsmack]

Cool to see you fishing my home State! Stay safe, and nice job!

Thank you for another great fishing video!

[@ramrdz23]

Great video brother 👍

[@finestfishing7350]

Awesome video!

[@TheTaylor91676]

This video reminded me of one of those football games where your team is down by 20 points at half and look like they are toast. Only to score 3 unanswered touchdowns in the second half for the win lol. Great video.

[@garrettsmith8704]

Hey buddy cut about a half inch off your soft plastic.. will help alot with the soft hits and the missed hooksets

[@MackinNC1]

Nice Video! got to get myself on a smallie soon. I just leased 300 acres of hunting land on a smallie stream.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Wow that sounds great

[@daviel6595]

We all have bad days. But it turned out good day great video sir thanks

[@bubbamann4146]

Really enjoy your videos... Do you ever worry about trespassing? I have a problem all the time with people trespassing. I fish several creeks around where I live but only go where I have written permission.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah, there was a big sign at one point where i stopped

[@jamieclinard5807]

Do you ever find any arrowheads out there? Looks like some good spots to hunt

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

maybe a few rocks to skip but never saw any arrowheads

[@PondPredatorNation]

Jedi creek master. Great episode bro. It happens to the best of us. Hellgramite is bass candy

[@lonedobie1]

4:49 the big crack in the bedrock would be a good place to pan for gold you should keep a pan with you ! You never know where you will find GOLD !!

I am getting a cabon x... do not be discouraged keep trying...once I hooked a bedding rock bass that bit about 15 times before I caught it...you can do it, god bless

[@anthonyt7201]

I think we’ve all had days like this. A little tip, I notice the big time bass guys hold their rod tips down when a good bass comes out of the water. Maybe that will help some of those big boys stay on. Keep up with the great videos.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i will try

[@tailorlayne5888]

My Guy I love your show .. The art work on the bridge you caught that 1st Small Mouth at ? It was the Three Crosses God. Be sith you sir.

[@mikec9606]

I was having the same kind of luck Saturday in my creek I usually fish in, I lost a bunch and caught a bunch. I see I wasn't alone trying to to keep them on the hook. Keep trying!

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Wow! Tough day. But you definitely made up for it.

[@KitebuildingGenius]

When your presenting, they're eating, but not staying on - it's usually a problem with hook selection. (I'm no expert, but I've received some great advice over the years and it has helped me)

[@JJackMoto]

Kind of reminds me of Yellow Creek near Cumberland City. Great little river for bass. Just subbed today, love your videos my man.

[@want2boutdoors274]

Another awesome video.. I'm really getting into this creek and small river fishing.. I got pics on my IG account where I've fished at here in northern Arkansas.. my suggestion is let them hit it more where they get upset and then set it...

[@darkchungus5972]

matthew wolbert are talking about the little sugar creek

[@d.wayneharbison8691]

Remember, a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work.

[@CC_Marauder]

Unless you lose about $200 in gear.

[@d.wayneharbison8691]

@@CC_Marauder there is that. This last year I was at Greenbo Lake, and we were hitting the bream bed hard. I mean LARGE bream. I also lost 19 hooks in a single day of fishing. It's become a joke among my buddies, that I should get a sponsorship from Eagle Claw.

[@dcoxkaty]

Sounds like those fish were protecting their beds

[@dr.keithw.kirbyd.d.9979]

I once got permission to go into a Farm Pond that was really big. The pond had been there for about 30 years and was stocked. No fishing in it at that time till I started and that was about the third year they let folks go in. I had my little boat in the water and I was fishing with a worm lure I made. The bass in that water was really big and I lost one of them. I mean I had a fight. But when He saw the boat, it took one more last-ditch and I lost it. So I too know what it's like to lose fish. And it gets frustrating. Even when I fish the Gulf Of Mexico. Good video my friend. Blessings Bishop Keith Kirby

[@juanvaldez5811]

That was a nice find!!

[@charlessessions7293]

Thanks for showing that even U can have a some what Bad Fishing Day ! Also heading back down stream Persistence PAYED OFF !!!$$ LOL !! BRO. JOHN :)

[@predwards8941]

Solid day John. Way to grind it out and stay on em even though they weren’t cooperating

[@BANGJHOON]

Nice......very good

[@Hoggy1963]

Good stuff as usual

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

That's some great smallmouth action John. I went creek fishing yesterday as well and caught several Rock Bass, and about a half dozen Smallmouth. I missed two real good ones, but managed to get a few just under a pound. I'll be posting that video in the next day or so. I plan on going back if the weather permits, and hopefully get a few nice ones. Good job on this creek, would love to go there with you some time.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

That is awesome!

[@606OnTheFly]

Great video! I’ve started rigging my ned rig baits the same as I would a Texas rigged worm so the hook isn’t exposed. Saves me a lot of snags!

[@MarkWilliams-rp7nb]

Nice trip , I've gotta get up that way and catch a smallie , soon.

[@caydo300]

Another great video !

[@adrianpena944]

Awesome video man! Those Tennessee creeks look great to fish, just wish we had some like that here in Arkansas! Love your content brotha, god bless!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

there is some nice ones in arkansas

[@inlikemin]

I had a day like that about a month ago. I believe ever angler who fishes long enough has had a trip where every fish comes off the hook, line breaks, lure keeps getting stuck on rocks and tree limbs. Perseverance is the key, bro!

[@samuelwarden6285]

Well I really hate it when I lose fish too. Sometimes we just have those days. You still caught some good ones. I just got in some of the rebel teeny Pop Rs. I've had one before and I loved it but I lost it while fishing last year. 👊👍

[@richki.24]

Nice catches ...

[@davidhilburn382]

John make sure that your hooks are sharp. Maybe that's the problem. Anyway I love to watch your videos. Keep making them. God bless.

[@darylfarmer5411]

Im from tn love your videos i seen in almost every video you turn to the HELLGRAMMITE so i went out and bought myself a pack or 2 im also a REBLE man so this week end we are headed to GATLENBURG to try out some of the places you were at keep up the good work and ill try to keep up with you thank

[@kurtfredregill3324]

It to bad people have to deface things , you make some great videos always catching a variety of fish keep it going love watching your videos

[@mevrammcoyoteV8f150]

Should be using ultra clear monofilament line..I've fished Alot of spring fed rivers and streams in Missouri..this guy must be from Kansas

[@wojomojo]

Did you try different hooks? Also, maybe wait a tad more before setting the hook?

[@scooterwilson1776]

If you had only one lure to fish with what would you use? Keep up the good videos.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

maybe a trout magnet

[@ldsudduthhanover]

I'm betting they were 'short striking' and not getting the hook. The best way to combat that is downsize your lure. The one who barely grabbed the end of the jointed crankbait was a big clue. I would have dropped to a 2" (or less) grub, or a fluke/soft plastic swimming lure. Also, I would have matched the size of the jig to the size of the lure.

[@68bwild]

Well at least you're hooking some, last 2 trips I've gone on nothing at all, not even a bite. Good stuff, cheers

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video!

[@marksimpson3877]

I got my first smallmouth today 15 minutes after you replied to my comment on the last video. Got him on a REBEL Crickhopper

[@dillandrews7687]

Jon sometimes fish don't stay hooked.This may sound dumb but could it be that you hooks are dull.Maybe it has to do with your reel but honestly l think it could be the randomness of fishing that we see sometimes.

[@oldhunterdan]

how about a small trailer hook. More chance to get hung up but when they are biting short it helps

[@timauthier1012]

Good video. Look up some west coast smallie rivers

[@jacobfelipe6182]

I also fish creeks. The fish are very pretty and healthy, but sadly the creeks that are local to me are very polluted😢😪

[@blay7263]

The medium light should have been good enough with the ned rig on them fish, but I'm curious to know if a medium or medium heavy would have helped your hook sets stay in better. Might not have made a difference and just been one of those days. We all have them.

[@dmdale3598]

Wider hook, or smaller plastic... or small square lip crankbaits with normal size treble hooks.

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Fun video! I'm super curious about why they were all coming off so often... makes me wonder about trying a different color in the same bait. Edit: well after watching more, you did change the jig weight and that definitely seemed to help! Great idea, I wouldn't normally think about them "feeling the weight" when they pick it up.

[@bullishbeartrader6121]

That was a nice long ear. Caught a nice pumpkin seed the other day myself. Similar rarity here

[@kevingrant9785]

And another awesome video! Who keeps giving thumbs down???

[@jacobfelipe6182]

Your reel is so butter smooth that it slips from ur hand🤣🤩mine is getting crusty with dust and dirt, I use it too much🤣😐

[@ronaldshank7589]

When the going gets tough, and you keep losing fish like that, try tying on a stinger hook, which you'll want to position at the back of the lure and/or bait. What'll happen, sometimes, is that, with only one hook at or near the center of the lure (Or bait), the fish will strike the back part of the lure, close it's mouth around it at the back part, and will actually start fighting with the back part of the lure, and won't let go, until they just, for some reason, just open their mouth, and let go of the lure. A stinger hook can prevent you losing fish like that. It's very effective! Try it. It'll increase the number of fish that you catch!

[@sammarkey672]

I had to laugh at the first one, only because I know the feeling.... On days like that you gotta play them with your drag. Let them pull a bit of drag and they tend to jump less. Edit: I wrote this before I watched to then end and you did loosen it, lol

[@robertjanko6709]

But I had the exact same thoughts. These all natural creeks are the most beautifull areas to fish. Greets from bad old germany

[@dillandrews7687]

Jon l've had good luck in the rain fishing for catfish especially in cr a eeks when the water level rises a bit.The increased water flow may push more bait in the water like earthworms and insects.This is just a theoy I'm not a scientist or anything

[@bandad7]

Just wanted you to know I really enjoy your channel. Heard you say something on a video today when you shared scripture and your heart. Brother that is what brought me to your channel, your faith in Jesus Christ. Keep putting up videos and keep sharing the Word.

[@froggleggers1805]

Often when it rains the fish have plenty to eat, and they don't feed as hard.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

that makes sense
