Caught a BIG DRUM Thing!! under CHICKAMAUGA DAM

[@robjones7410]

Thank you for this video! I am from Chattanooga and this brought back so many AWESOME memories! I retired from the ARMY in Georgia. When the video first started and you panned to where the 2 people are right at the dam, that is the EXACT spot where my Grandfather was teaching me to fish and I slipped and had to go get some stitches, but it was a AWESOME day! God bless, you Brother and be safe!

[@BuckWilliamsPa]

That was a big drum, good fight. Fishing with Big Mike fishes the pier by the dam there at night and gets 50lb plus blue catfish.

[@justinwastler2097]

"Yeah it was only a drum, but..." Hey, don't knock the drum; that's a great catch. I actually target drum quite often on the Big Blue here in Kansas. If you've never had them, they can produce pretty tasty and wonderfully flaky fillets (depending on the region and individual they can also be a little yucky). Even if you're not into eating them, they can certainly be a blast to catch. Congratulations on that monster!

[@jakup10]

I absolutely love those Bobby Garlands. I’ve caught just about every species I’ve targeted on those bad boys. I do a lot of saltwater fishing and I’ve caught sizable speckled trout, stripers, and red drum on them, as well as every freshwater species except carp. I stopped throwing them on an ultra light because it’s so common to hook into big fish with them.

[@andersonmcbride29]

Funny we were talking about the battle of chickamauga today in history and our teacher was like “where was it fought?” And I just said “by the lake and on the dam”

[@brianathern9154]

Perfect scenario to try something new and a lipless crankbait. After the bass bite...whoa!! What did I hook? That's no moon...IT'S A SPACE STATION!!! Gotta love the fight on those drum..the Rodney Dangerfield of freshwater fish. Thanks for taking us to the river brother. Blessings

[@JamesSmith-ht4kp]

I really enjoy the small creek fishing but your excitement level is just so fun when you hook a big one

[@blueshotwheelsandmore869]

Lol that's a big fish, nice drum, like how you showed the train on the bridge cool to watch things like that

[@travisexum3553]

I caught one about that big on a senko on Loudon and he pulled me and the kayak around for a bit.

[@strongholdcc1396]

Drove over the dam a couple days ago in my way back to Michigan from Florida. You truly live in a beautiful part of the country. I was so fortunate just to drive through your area and see for myself the area your videos come from.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes its awesome around here

[@thenicksheppard]

Chattanooga is amazing. Im a recent transplant and absolutely love it.

[@mikeboyce584]

WOW that's a big Drum! Got to go fishing today it is Nov 10th in Indiana today was up to 64 found one 13 1/2 inch smallmouth willing to be caught sent you a pick made my day thank the Lord. Fun catching on ultra lite. Great video John keep em coming.

[@zerzydarrel4814]

when drag start singing.... heart beat up you got jackpot man... 🤩🍻

[@KPSoutside]

Awesome. One of the biggest drum I have seen on You Tube in a long time.

[@djsoutdoors50]

Thats drum is freaking huge!!! I’ve caught one before on a storm swim bait but it was only 2 pounds… this was an awesome video! A bunch of bass and a giant drum! Super entertaining! Have a blessed day and good luck with the basketball games!

[@terryhaller3718]

Nice drum, congrats. Thanks for sharing your trip again..

[@macronaria]

That was an awesome drum. Keep tossing that lipless, I’ve caught some nice bass on them…especially during the cooler months

[@marthamitchell9452]

Oh how I would love to be catching something now. I’m in NW Montana and it has turned cold and I can’t seem to find anything biting. We can’t get anywhere near the dams, top or bottom here. All summer yellow perch and pumpkin seeds were everywhere and we saw some huge pike but they pulled out all the boat ramp docks so bank fishing only. Great fish you caught.

[@TC-er5xy]

Jonah's got nothin' on you after catching that drum! Congrats - what a fun fish to catch! Awesome!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Haha. It was a monster

[@COLE_and_JAY]

I’ve always wanted to fish below chickamauga! Awesome vid!

[@brentonatkins]

I caught a 9.5lb drum at Pickwick 2 weeks ago on a Ratltrap!

[@FishingWithZach]

Wow nice catch that was a big drum!

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

We fish below nickajack dam and it’s always an adventure! Never know what you’re going to catch! Good video!

[@shawnm5611]

Than is the largest drum I’ve ever seen…great job! Both drum and carp can be caught on lures and put up quite a battle.

[@JacobawSnow]

My first drum was caught on a tungsten 2-tap red eye shad at Kentucky lake. It was big and put up a good fight. Lots of fun.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Lol 😆 🤣 that Blue Heron was yelling at ya buddy!

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

Monster drum yes sirrrr fish on fam 🎣

[@goldenratfishing4411]

I come up through this area every weekend to do the Chattanooga markets on the weekend and keep saying I want to stop and fish. I definitely got to give it a try now.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Hey man let me know if you want. Would love to meet up with ya

[@reallyoldrookie433]

Something that I have found myself doing is when you post a video I'll start searching Google maps just to see if I can figure out where you are fishing. Usually I don't find it perfectly, but get a decent idea of where it is using bridges and stuff, and it's kind of fun. I know this place VERY well, but haven't fished it. My daughter lives just a couple of miles from here, so had you not said where it was I think that I could have found it. But I'm still going to try and figure out future video locations :D

[@user-mj6lap17]

Hi this is I believe the first time I saw this video of yours, I love the part when the train was going over the bridge and then I saw some kind of bird or pelican that was beautiful, I love things like that.

[@Bas3dG0dK1ng]

Thank you for sharing this video with us today sir. That was a huge drum. I've caught a lot of fish off lipless baits mostly rattle traps are my favorite. God bless you sir. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊

Nice fishing adventure, thanks John.

fresh water drum also called goo or goux pearch, in Louisiana they are most cimmonly cooked in a coubillion

[@mattstewart5922]

That’s awesome! Those drum are fun to catch!

[@charlesbrowder8416]

Drum was a beast got to love the fight

[@luke3977]

Killer drum! Josh over at pigpatrol is going to be jealous of that one!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Haha. Yeah

[@dank-mcpuffins1267]

I'm there a few times a week, and I seen you that day parking and thought is that.... no It couldn't be, I should of said hello. Where you parked go to the left of boat ramp and fish off the rocks, that's my hunnyhole. Also by the dam behind the college is MONEY!!!

[@fishyz1500]

Thats a nice drum an they get double that..my mom caught a 32lb drum this past spring durin the maumee river walleye run..they are fun..my pb is 12lbs

[@DetroitFisherman]

Rapala Fire Tiger lipless is my main lure never let me down through the whole year

[@GlitchAQ]

Wow that fish was a beast! It was peeling line like it was nothing,

[@brittanydingessjohnbenson9226]

Next time try a jigging spoon on shiny blade bait to match the thread fin shad, great video man. Keep em' coming

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Yes jigging spoons works great at that dam and all dams

[@kmontrose888]

@@johnbubbajohnson5630 how do they work on like small rivers?

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Great close to spillway and dams. See the water is flowing fast enough from letting your spoon get caught on the bottom and the fish thinks they look like live shad because silver or shiny spoons does look alot like shad or bait fish

[@joshwagner8468]

Awesome catch buddy. He was huge

[@mkanyuh]

I like catching drum as much as bass as long as they are clean....they fight extremely hard. Some of them can be pretty dirty.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Lots of different species caught!! Too cool 😎 👌 buddy!!

[@ShowMeCreeks]

Great drum man. I feel like I'm all over the place this time of year with my lure choices. Just not real confident in much and looking for that new go to lure. Lol

[@christiankell6074]

Another good video John!!! God bless and GO Kats!!!!

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

That was a big ol drum, good job !! Great video 👍🏻

[@notUrAVerAGeHO]

Nice catch brotha, that was one HUGE drum fish!!!

[@anelson925]

Creek fishing adventures: I’ve never caught anything on a lipless crank Me: me neither Creek fishing adventures: catches bass then GIANT drum Me: once again grabs keys and heads to tackle shop 🤞

[@kmontrose888]

Great video I'd love to catch up 14 lb drum right about now fish just aren't biting for me

[@andersonmcbride29]

That’s about the length of the black drums at the beach but they’re double the weight. It’s a little bit of an easier fight on the surf rods but it’s always a pain to land them.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I need to catch one of those

When you hook Into a big drum you’ll never forget that crazy dive they do when you get them near the surface lol

[@timdarnell7819]

It's hard to beat a booyah one knocker pre spawn in the early spring, especially in grassy areas, and in the fall.

[@mrfurr2397]

[@100ccSuperRat]

that is the fun in fishing for me not knowing what could bite. big fish are big fish no matter the model name. drum things included lol

[@gailreineke7186]

Always enjoy your content, but this one was exceptional. 😊

[@danielruprecht8932]

I caut one crappie on that lipless bait. Most times one of the hooks get tangled on the line . Is there a trick to it ?

[@dougalexander7204]

On one hand, I’d be skeered to fish there, snd on the other looks fun.

I caught my pb drum on a crawdad at the Ohio river. They sure put up an amazing fight ☺️

I would’ve tried throwing into the current hopping a spoon along the way.

no i need to try there

[@kenneely7899]

Is that near the bike path?

[@paulwylie989]

Nothing wrong with a drum. They're hard fighters. Nice triple play on the blacks too.

[@hiddenoutdooradventures5260]

I thought you had a 6lb smallmouth! Lol still fun to catch

[@FishingWithZach]

That would be insane! Idk what I'd do if I caught one of those haha

If that tackle storage box says 3700, it is mislabeled. That is definitely a 3600 series box.
