I have wanted to fish here for years...

Getting to go up to Pennsylvania to fish the famous Susquehanna River in a national kayak tournament was such an amazing experience. I had heard of this river for a long time and how it is one of the best smallmouth fishing rivers in the world. When i got the opportunity to come up and see it for myself, plus fish a competitive tournament, I jumped at the chance and came to see it for myself.

[@CHASIN_A_BASS]

Really love the fact you get out here andfish tournaments, with no livescope.just a man , his yak, and his rods..💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@markconnelly802]

That is my hometown River sir..... Monster smallmouth all over the place. I was really surprised to see the headline on your video say Susquehanna. I live in Western Kentucky now and lived just south of Harrisburg up until ten years ago I watch you all the time. Can't wait to keep watching this video

[@markconnelly802]

You don't have to find the fish there, they will find you

[@markconnelly802]

They love Kelly's Worms

[@johnlynch7834]

I fish the susquehanna in maryland(conowingo dam).I catch stripped bass mostly there..

[@MeTimeFishing]

Still had a solid day regardless! Hang in there brother. Those Susky smallmouth are amazing! Caught myself several 20+ on that river this year. You’ll get yours!

[@WILLIAMCASLER]

Dude! I live in Lancaster PA and I fish the Susquehanna all the time. If you are still up here try fishing mill creek. I have caught some beautiful smallmouth in there. I love that you are fishing up here

[@jonpoetzl126]

Give Slackwater or the bridge on RT 324 (up and down stream also) on the Conestoga a try sometime

[@dmdale3598]

Perfect video. Has everything.

[@dw6506]

John when this video started I saw all those campers and I thought, he has trucks, kayaks, rods and rills, so now his started accumulating campers this man has it all. Then I remembered those nights you slept in your truck. Maybe next year, and most of all that you are blessed for the things that you do, thank you sir from the bottom of my heart

[@jeffnelson9420]

Keep chucking and winding!!! Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!!!

[@BullShadSwimbaits]

Man beautiful fish. Can't believe how shallow they were. Great video. Throw that bull shad when you need to upgrade. That thing is tailor made for those types of rivers..

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Incredible video Jon!!!! Thanks for all that you do to make these awesome videos!!

[@JD-HALL]

Awesome John, just awesome.

[@gregkerr725]

Dude! Win or lose, that's the best Smallmouth fishing I've seen you film in all the years I'v been watching you. Kept expecting you to try either the Nikko or The Yum hellgramite.

[@dougzirkle5951]

Me, too. I kept thinking John was going to dig out the biggest hellgramite he had with him and we’d have been off to the races with those 20+ inchers!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

definitely insane smallmouth fishing

[@sclewell777]

Welcome to the best Smallmouth fishery in the nation. I know exactly where you're at on the river. When the sun came out I was shouting. You found the channel. Some of my biggest smallies came from there. Aren't they gorgeous.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes it was amazing

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

Wow, the Susquehanna River is such a wonderful place to fish, especially to hold a tournament in. The average size of those smallies just blows my mind and just adds to my conclusion that the Susquehanna River is just a wonderful river all the way around, no matter how you look at it, as far as fishing tournaments go. That river cuts through the mountains just a winding through and I thought it appeared to have a lot of hilly peeks just a few feet under the water's surface, and a ton of rocks, ledges and underlining cliffs, the kind of ingredients that make the perfect habitat for the smallies to hangout and swim around and ambush prey. ThankQ Jon for taking us along with you bubba. I really enjoyed it my brother. ❤😊

[@heavenbound358]

You are good with words! I am a seasoned smallmouth angler and that is a perfect description of a good smallmouth river.

[@ericharrison8950]

Such a wide river, yet seems so shallow? What an exciting experience! Thick fish!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

This place is incredible, John, so many small mouths, a great first day! That was a miracle that spinnerbait didn't come off🙏, you have to be really coranaded to keep that kayak in place, cast your rod, keep the kayak in place, catch the fish get the net, keep the kayak in place, man that's work, it's shame they don't go by weight you would be in the top 10, can't wait for the next video!👍🎣

[@MsKindaSorta]

I love watching you in tournaments!

[@thatfishingnoob]

Duuuuuuude!!!!!!!! Yes sir!!!!! Watching you fish tournaments is riveting man. You’re such a down to earth dude and land some gnarly fish.

[@maryannegreenslade78]

Great day of fishing,🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Awesome job John. Those are some healthy small mouth. I hope you win it or be in the top sir. God bless you and your whole family and friends..🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@fishinkeylargo]

After losing a big bass on a broken spinner bait I started using a snell knot on the arm that goes to the hook. Better chance of the knot holding on a break.

[@shephusted2714]

solid fish but side scan will help you find bait and concentrations of hawgs which is what you need in these tourneys - a fish painter would probably be a writeoff - could drop you down a bracket #tools #guessing every lure will work at this place - i think the difference is staying in the hot pockets - you will be able to talk to fellow kayakers and see what patterns are and where people are fishing - you are in top 25% which is not bad - you may have a big second day...I can't imagine what 21/22 inch fish looks like judging by what you have caught already at this place - footballs! try the hellgrammite or craws

[@ArthurDavidson]

Jon, you look really tired! I'll be praying for rest and stamina. Be well brother!

[@bobgibbs4105]

What an awesome day on the water!

[@jeffreyzeitz2711]

I'm glad you see you made it to PA to fish the Susquehanna. What an awesome fishery. I really enjoy your watching videos. Great job on day 1.

[@heavenbound358]

NOW you're beginning to understand the power and pure adrenalin of big smallmouth. I became a smallmouth junkie forty years ago. Ive caught all kinds of fish but NOTHING is like big smallmouth in current!!!

[@brianathern9154]

Buddy you had plenty of willing smallies. Now let's find you those upgrades. Solid start for never having been there. Blessings John

[@bennydoane5581]

what an awesome video, the smallmouth fishing is fantastic. I'm gonna have to put that place on my bucket List bubble gum young dinnger.God bless

[@waitaminute7257]

Wow how cool would it be to live close that world class smallmouth river?? What an incredible river!

[@nathanm2571]

Nice fish! I’m glad you made the trip to Pennsylvania. Great videos keep them coming!

[@michaelcox609]

Great video John. I grew up fishing that river. Avocado green tube jig use to wreck them back then. Keep rippin lips.

[@joshuaa61]

A half hour south of my original stomping grounds. Love that area.

[@scottfrey2710]

Awesome, John!! It took you coming from TN for me to be able to see where good fishing is in my home state! Thanks! :-)

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes it did

[@pstott5903]

I can’t imagine culling 16” smallies. Great day!

[@TD402dd]

Don't worry too much about the cold. On Lake Cumberland I caught my biggest fish when the temp was hovering near freezing. I constantly had to clear the tip of ice so I cast and retrieve.

[@lonbingaman6033]

Next time you make it to the mighty sussqy, you should try a 3/8 oz. Black roostrtail, and green/chartreuse tubes inch and a half! You should be catching a smally on every cast...

[@starkeyshelbyj]

Bleeding Bronz - smallies!!❤🇺🇸

[@jackiemason2145]

[@prestonrussell605]

The weather didn’t cooperate but the fish were biting so your day went pretty good! Good luck John!

[@jeffhawkins1191]

Great watch, love the new intro 🌊

[@Creeksmallmouth]

I always have a breaking issue with war eagles. I kill em on walmart spinner baits repainted and with the stock skirt switched to a silicone skirt. I bought a few in a pinch and they flat out produce tweaked a little bit

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Great smallmouths

[@j-kray274]

Great video! Those were some amazing catches. I don't have a kayak, but I love wading out to islands in big rivers and hunting down smallies. I've been watching for years. I'm still amazed at the ease with which you flick around your baitcaster. I still remember when you'd always backlash on them. (I'm still in the can't take it out without backlashing camp--I need to practice more).

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

getting good with a bait caster has really helped my power fishing

[@analogoutdoors]

Broken spinnerbait was blessing from the Lord. Awesome!

[@riverfishingwithfrank]

Loved that intro!

[@bfhammer128]

Great video brother! The Susquehanna is without question the best smallmouth river in our state. Those 14/15" fight like a tank and are built super thick!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

No doubt!

[@codyreece7871]

What an amazing place.

#49👍🏻🛶🎣👀 Today's intro showing you getting dumped during a trip a short while back, was hilarious to me. It relates a great personality that does not shy away from sharing self-deprecating actions. If you cannot laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at. Kudos on the nice fish to boot. ✌🏼

[@reelextremefishing]

I see you made it up to my neck of the woods. There is nothing like a Susquehanna Smallie. Great job John!

They really do make a titanium wire spinner bait and I’ve never wore one out…just resharpened hooks occasionally!

[@micahgrim2597]

Gotta appreciate those fish. That’s quality right there. Maybe take the tourny out of the picture for a few just to be thankful for a nice haul. Can’t believe you didn’t lose that one on the broken spinner bait haha

I keep reliving you flipping over 😵‍💫

[@lt.guppypatrollt.guppypatrol]

I like watching the tournament features you do, the fact that you go so far to enter them is great, when you catch a good one, i can tell by the splashes they make, and then to see them and you telling the length is really help for, get doing these typed of videos, there are great fun to watch, thanks for doing so/

[@TP-ne6ez]

Welcome to PA, John! I know you like creek fishing so when you have the chance to return back to PA try the tributaries that flow into this wonderful river you will not be disappointed Plus far north susky is an awesome fishery as well. One trip out last year my wife along with a friend and I caught 289 smallies in 7 hours on a Sunday! Safe travels back to TN

That's a great day of fishing when 15-16" fish won't help you out. Those War Eagle spinner baits are kind of expensive to keep breaking like that. Not a great plug for the brand. Love your content!

most people that really use spinnerbaits alot know that after bending them back and forth there is a good chance of breaking
