Early Spring Bass Fishing GET'S HOT!! on CLEAR SMALL RIVER

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

This over the shoulder camera is WAAAAY better than chest mounted, this thing is kick ass

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I like it too. I wear one on my head, and I wonder sometimes if I should switch to something more like this.

[@matthewdecker2299]

I dont mind the other povs, but being able to see everything is cool.

[@christopherwood2290]

John is living his dream. Gotta hand it to him. He deserves it.

[@marcocera993]

Who else is hooked on this show because I am!!!

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

I see whatcha did there

[@ronaldshank7589]

Hooked by the jaw! (So to speak). I love the fishing content...and the fact that this guy is a Christian. He follows the phrase:"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men", which is, of course, what Jesus told his disciples, and those words also apply to all Christians. May God bless Brother John Dalton for his stance in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

[@richardmulligan2540]

Definitely

[@timberryhill658]

@@ronaldshank7589 could not agree with you more. Been watching this channel for awhile. Came for the fishing subscribed for the Word.

[@ronaldshank7589]

@@timberryhill658 Glad for the support! I've come across actual Atheists on the different channels that I'm subscribed to, and I always tell them one thing:"That God does exist, and that for them to not believe in God is foolishness beyond foolishness! To say that God doesn't exist, is saying that everything that we know exists came about by chance. Even if it were, that the seemingly innumerable dust particles that are in space, somehow collided with each other, and that that is how the planets were created (Which we know isn't true, being that we know that God spoke all that exists into being by the word of his mouth!), I always ask them this question:"Since you can't get something from nothing, how did the very dust itself come into being"? That gets 'em every time! They can't come up with an answer to that particular question! God is, and that, as they say, is that!

[@kennyw6932]

Enjoy seeing you catch those bass.. Ya gotta thank the Good Lord for such beautiful creatures. Thanks for sharing

[@CUinthemeantime]

Your casting skills are a 10 plus, huge improvement the camera angle as well as the underwater footage. It’s as if we are fishing along w you

[@trophyadventures6258]

Handles that Kayak like a champ

[@joekoenig3558]

Really like the camera high in the back. Enjoy the videos, please talk a little more about your set up and the water conditions.

[@danielforehand2572]

Another great video and I like the over the shoulder view!

[@roypeavy3542]

Enjoy watching your fishing show.Thanks for sharing.

[@TimHaunFishing]

This video, especially the intro has a whole new energy and I love it. So sick. Rear camera was great, audio was great too.

[@thecreekcrawler]

WHAT A DAY!!! I envy the quality of the rivers and streams in your state. We got tons of rain the past couple of days..my creeks and rivers are BLOWN OUT. It figures it would happen on the first nice weekend of the year. I know one thing that peddle drive looks awesome. Being able to fish and peddle at the same time is a huge advantage I think. Spectacular catches!!

[@tenncutt]

Tennessee's rivers and creeks are blown out too right now. This video must have been a few days back. Great video too by the way!

[@paulhanney1960]

I absolutely love your videos! Fish, wildlife, and lampreys. (SP?) My fishing fever is up!

[@fishing_amy]

I’m so jealous. Just got a snowstorm where I live. I’m dreaming about spring fishing without the snow and freezing cold

[@tammyekers8898]

Liked the set up with camera. Sound was good. Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheKrisg50]

“When fishing, just figure it out.” Words to live by. I like the over the shoulder POV, too.

[@SK-zy6el]

Here I am watching as you make that new kayak chase that bass. Good luck with the fishing. Just do what you do best and I will be watching

[@diepharrison5227]

I could only enjoy more is me doing the fishing! Fun to watch and so down to earth! Thanks!

[@Texas_Red_01]

Next time you go wading in that area, you'll be looking over your shoulder to see if those parasites are sneaking up for a bite of JOHN!!

[@christiankell6074]

Those coosa bass are beautiful , the spotted bass were very colorful as well. What an amazing day of fishing. Thanks for taking me along on this trip through your video. Would love to experience a day like that. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!

[@roberthill1400]

I learn something in every video you put out. I had no idea that there is such a thing as fresh water lampreys. Thought they were only salt water. Nasty creatures!

[@steveramey4229]

Great video John thanks!

[@josealbino3635]

Happy to see you out there again keep on fishing God bless you buddy

[@michaelpaparelli3227]

That is some CLEAR water! Waiting for the weather to stay warm here in Virginia then I plan on crushing my favorite freshwater spots. Tight lines brother.

[@broncodude2828]

Had a great day slaying the Smallies last weekend shore fishing on the Rappahannock. Water is starting to lower and clear up, but too cold for me right now to kayak. It’s coming soon 👍

[@OntheRealFishing]

Great video Sir! Love the over shoulder angle and extra underwater footage. I am still in the "Figuring it out" stage for sure. =)

[@trophyadventures6258]

I'm with you on the "Figuring it out" stage.

[@OntheRealFishing]

@@trophyadventures6258 All we can do is keep learning and keep getting on the reel. I can't wait to get a real hit on something other than worm and bobber.

[@mardelshumake922]

Thank you for getting that pfd back on, brother!

[@bestbrothersadventures2684]

Sweet! That is some nice bass! Amazing test run.

[@williamhastie5056]

Hi John from your friends in Scotland. Loved the camera work. Gives the viewer a whole different perspective. Both audio and video 10/10. Brilliant! 😬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎣

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks

[@predwards8941]

Looks like an awesome stretch!

[@nickblankenbeckler7664]

I love the back camera view I think it makes your videos so much more like you’re there may the Lord bless you John

[@lesterreaper9696]

Great video John all the fish caught were awesome.

[@reelfishinggains9673]

Things are heating up! Finally ordered some of those Nikko hellgrammites and made sure to use your Creek10 code! Saved a buck 50!

[@timlacy2284]

Great video, now I'm thinking about getting me a Old Town yak too, nice fish thanks for letting me go with you today. Tim L.

[@ronniebarksdale8528]

I think that everything worked fine including the sound. Love your videos!

[@lindagsmith7846]

Riding the rapids, yay what fun. Great fish for the first day of spring & many more to come 🐟 have a great time & enjoy. 🐟

[@Lancelot59]

Well i won't be wading in shorts for a while! Nice fish John. Thank You for sharing.

[@russellolds8580]

Love the underwater footage.

[@AndyFreemanNashvilleRealtor]

Those underwater shots are awesome!

[@andyshumate4753]

Wilderness has a kayak cart that fits the underside of the Old Town pedal drive perfectly.

[@juniorsantiago4858]

One thing about you your a good fisher man cant take that away from u your footage is great dude every video is on point thats what i like about u

[@FishNTrips1]

Awesome day bro. Bass looks amazing. Stay safe and connected my friend!

[@jamespierce4843]

I'm a new subscriber and just really enjoy John's videos. Great stuff and have watched a ton of these and look forward to watching many more.

[@timwaldroup9654]

I like the upgrades in equipment..

[@FishBrainShane]

Get em John!

[@crosscountryoutdoors2472]

That rear camera view is awesome shows everything. Keep up the videos and I’ll keep watching!

[@michaelseiber8885]

Sound quality seemed fine and everything was great visually. Adding the camera you mentioned to the front will be an awsome addition. Keep casting and reeling in the big ones . You've come a long way and can go so much further 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MattsFishinMission]

For how clean that water was... can’t believe how many parasites and leeches it had!!! Huge suckers too!!!

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

I’d love to kayak there this summer! The Conasauga looks so awesome!! (Besides the lampreys)

[@kurtfredregill3324]

That would be nice to fish in that clear of water beautiful scenery

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

I’m sorry but lamprey are things of nightmares!🤦‍♂️😂great underwater shots

[@Crussman499]

Man. Those old towns are top of the line. I like that the tracks use double screws. Must be ultra rigid.

[@craighawkins5545]

Nice editing in the underwater shots. And those lampreys are gnarly! Another great video.

[@WoodboogerFishing]

Stuff I liked: The underwater footage (boat and fish) The weasel The new boat Conasauga The camera behind you opened it up some This was fun🙂👍 Keep em coming!

[@justincredible1024]

Total's gonna be off the charts this year

[@christopherwood2290]

0:17. Looks like a sea lamprey. I find them on trout up north here. Eventually he will suck that bass insides out.

[@TheJacobb46]

I’ve got a special couple creeks near me I gotta go up to them we have some big spots and giant striper in ours I gotta go hopefully the water is blown out and muddy tight lines brother

[@bowhunting1013]

Another great video brother , the last spotted bass was definitely a trophy

[@bige5838]

The lamprey eel thing was crazy. Good video

[@anastaciolopez1434]

What you need is a couple more arms. Multitasking in a kayak. Fun video to watch. Nature sure is beautiful.

[@colinmahon19]

Great video, this is one of youtube's most underrated fishing channels. Creek country in TN fascinates me. I subscribed, keep up the great work!

[@jimmieevans7175]

Good luck catch some big ones

[@adamgable4346]

And on this episode of “Mutant Alien Creek Fishing”.....saving fish lives from their abductors.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Those Lampreys can be vicious to those poor fish. I wouldn't want to be handling those fish too much, with all of those parasites hanging around. John needs to be very careful with those underwater shots. Those crazy bloodsuckers love humans, too!

[@chuckstith838]

Damn, they are just like a ex wife!

[@joshkullerton7604]

Great day fishing! Nice catch at the end

[@stevehammond2016]

Some nice results there John . The leechs creeped me out a bit but the spotted bass seemed to make it worth while .

[@mitchcrouse1246]

Dude I am absolutely hooked on your channel. Keep up the great work buddy!

[@donaldmoore8088]

Yeah, I am hooked on this show too ! Great shots dude , keep it going.those lampreys are nasty, never seen that before !

[@charlesbrowder8416]

Well done my friend I've got to hit it now soon as the flood water goes down how cold was the water

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

It wasn’t really that bad.

[@brianathern9154]

Nice break in trip brother man. The lampreys were wicked. But the bass action was wickeder...lol. Keep fishing with that back camera John. And of course it's on hellgramites.

[@richarduofh2653]

Stepping up the video production 👌👍

[@christopherwood2290]

Tennessee is an outdoorsman paradise. I bought my freshwater/saltwater/trout stamp/small game hunting license in CT. $70. You don't even get a book anymore. I'd retire down south but my ball and chain, er wife says she won't go.

[@joeltuck2741]

Been watching John for a while now love his show!

[@timberryhill658]

Another cool video from John. Thanks for being so consistent brother. God bless

[@r.d.barber6786]

John it looks like you are ready for the Colorado rapids✊😁👍

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

I am so sad to see those Lamprey on the Bass you caught. We have them up here, invasive species in Lake Champlain. They are almost indestructible. We left two in a cooler overnight with ice and water and they were still alive in the morning.

[@dante04srt]

The view from the GoPro mount was cool. Finally camped at Parksville Lake this weekend (just got home). Caught 2 spotted bass. Lol. Gotta try kayak fishing sometime to get on better spots than I can get on from the bank. Ended up scouting some areas and stopped at Hiawassee Dam in NC. Fish were going nuts just down from the dam.

[@kingfisher7960]

I went with a Hobie with the flip up paddle drive for this reason. I knew I didnt want to deal with getting them caught and dealing with drought condition waters like I have to at times during the summers.

[@matthewdecker2299]

Everything worked well. I have never caught a fish with a passenger. Weird to see. Good video.

[@chadmccollum2300]

Absolutely love your video. Under water stuff is very neat. ❤️ I love fishing creeks and rivers enjoying nature. catching fish is just a bonus for me. Been looking at the Old Town. Academy has one that I like. Not a peddle drive.

[@kylesettle455]

John, from the awesome edits and quality footage you have grown so much since the trophy rock bass on the bridge. Congratulations on the trophy spot. Hope to share the water sometime

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks Kyle

[@brentonatkins]

Super awesome video bro!

[@georgestuart2483]

John, those Lampreys are really creepy! I looked up the parasitic ones like you saw and they are Ohio lampreys, which do attach them selves to fish as adults, but generally don’t kill the host. Keep up the great videos. Going fishing myself tomorrow!

[@GYDRONE]

Great video brother. Congratulations on that 3 pounder.

[@christopherwood2290]

John, you don't seem so psyched about softball practice lol! Anyway, I would imagine all that time in the kayak has to get you pretty tuckered out.

[@PhotonChief]

Nicw video! I got skunked (again) today in NY, but we still have ice on half the creeks. I do like the over the shoulder camera over the chest mount, but it looks like you're craning around for shots. I know they look goofy, but a hat camera, or just one up in front of the pedals could solve that. Everything worked well in this video.

[@themadtatter4055]

I need a day off for this great job 👏

[@williamswindle5445]

You have some awesome places to fish!

[@samuelwarden6285]

Those Lamprays kinda freak me out. The first time I ever saw one on a bass I called it a forehead feeder lol 😆 . 👊👍

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

John you need that Anchor Wizard (along with a trolley) man! Best accessory I've purchased for my yak.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I’m going to order one

[@slanginbuurds2646]

Need that kayak! I've been struggling to find them so far this year.

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Nice opening shot,

[@chefjimmie1]

Hi John. Greetings from Southeast Virginia. I wanted to ask you if you would at times show us the knots you use for your rigs. I'm a novice compared to you even though I have fished (mostly trout until I moved to VA) most of my life. I know general knots and I use probably just two of them for everything I do. I'm sure many of your viewers would like to see how you quickly handle adversity (which you probably edit out) for example when you lose a lure and have to tie one in your kayak or if you break your line on a snag. Just leave some of that footage for us to see sometimes and we could learn all that much more. I'm totally hooked on your show and have been sharing it with others. I watch alone and make comments while you fish. Sometimes you answer me back! Keep on fishing and making vids. Blessings of God be upon you *most* of all.

[@oldmcdonald9582]

like to see you do some more smallmouth fishing below ocoee dam. that place is beautuful.

[@Kast2Katch]

I bet you are loving that peddle drive!

[@23640631]

@ John, you should have taken time to removed all the lamprey's attached to the fishes, of course some lammprey's did released their hold on some of the fishes. Those lampley's were drinking blood from the fishes making them weaker.

[@garrymillwood5507]

Very Good Video loved it

[@brettjones220]

Great vid! Underwater shot catching the bass was awesome! Use those lamprey for bait! Thanks John! Jonesy

[@tenncutt]

... but you got to touch them for that! You ever see the mouth on those things?

[@robertstroud15]

Does your pedal drive get damaged when you get too shallow if it hits bottom? Does it have some kind of "safety" pin that keeps it from snapping off?

[@steveboggs9777]

Good day. Strange catching all those with lampreys attached. Love the angle of the camera but the sound wasn't as clear.

[@adammurphy8351]

Nice video. What kinda hook n weight you using to go weedless on that hellgrammite

[@ronscott6163]

Have you considered a small anchoring system for your kayak? Lots of KZbin videos on it.

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

This is an awesome video man. I'm only at the Weasel part, but this is great!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks man

[@davidtheriault6726]

Wearing a T-Shirt and wading in the water. Nice! It was 18 degrees here in Maine when I went out to start my car this morning. Beautiful fish at the end. Thanks! P.S. Do lampreys bite human legs?

[@ronaldshank7589]

Yes! Parasites will latch onto human flesh, if they get the chance. Be very careful, when fishing waters like these.
