TN Kayak State Tournament on a FAMOUS Lake!!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

What a day of fishing 🎣 Jon!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee!!!! Good looking fish

[@ronaldshank7589]

Seth, I wish you could've been down there with Brother John, fishin' to your heart's content. How are your feet doing, nowadays?

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

​@@ronaldshank7589i would LOVE to go fishing with Jon since I don't work and do KZbin full time!!! I could help him out as an assistant or something!!! My feet are holding their own currently! Trying to ease back into fishing with short trips each day

[@Justinreed44]

Didn’t realize you were in Guntersville. I live like 20 minutes from there!

[@jimreilly5770]

That bite at 18:37 was awesome! Very cool to see a bass take a spinnerbait like that. Great job John!

[@MacMan556]

Nice work with the editing. Enjoy the beginning of the videos when you include music accompanied with wildlife and the local scenery. Keep up the good work John! My son and I enjoy watch your videos through out the work/school week. Gets us fired up for our fishing trips together on the weekends! Looking forward to the next upload! Thanks!!

[@pistolcreek]

Nice work, John! That Guntersville is gorgeous. Always wanted to try fishing it after hearing Richard Gene talk about it so much. Great catches on a beautiful day!

[@ronaldshank7589]

You mentioned Richard Gene, The Fishin' Machine, and it got me to wonderin':I wonder if he's in this Tournament? And...Did he bring Ol' Elmo with him?!?😜🤪😜🤪😜

[@pistolcreek]

@@ronaldshank7589 If he is… between Richard and John, there won’t be any fish left in Guntersville lake after they catch them all!

[@josephvanchierijr.2486]

Prayers out to you. What a fantastic first day. It's nice when you figure out what is working early.

[@2007dixiegirl]

THAT was AWESOME!!!!👍

[@AnAngryAngler]

I noticed you could use a Rod Holder on the left rear track facing forward to hold it before you lose a combo when weighing a fish

[@vernowen2083]

Congrats on your day 1 finish. Hoping and praying tomorrow is even better!

[@akknight1971]

Nice job John. Keep it up. Fantastic first day. Tomorrow will be more exciting. May you have a blessed tourney.

[@nathangabrys1454]

Watching that fish bite at the kayak was awesome!!!

[@jamesschnell4919]

The catch of that 17" right by the kayak was awesome. Those bites are the best when they come out of nowhere!

[@papilloncycles3463]

@20:08 Good lord! This action tail to paddle slap jumpin' spinner bait thumpin' It sure is somethin' ! Special that is!

[@ZackaryFoxAdventures]

Awesome adventure John big bait big fish. Go gettum buddy 😎

[@randyblevins9489]

Great Day in your morning !! Such nice bass, good quality. Two gotcha (got me) moments.... when you are trying to reposition your camera and we couldn't see, but heard a sickening, scary outburst. So glad you already had the photo ! Also, when that bass hit the spinnerbait right at the boat. So cool ! Day 1 in the books. Prayers for day 2 ! Always be careful. Pap Blevins

[@ronaldshank7589]

Yeah! He caught a great picture of that Ol' Bass-JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!!! Another 1-2 seconds, and it would've been too late to register that Bass for his total!

[@brianathern9154]

Fantastic Day 1 finish brother! You found the spot then established a pattern and caught quality fish between anglers. Good luck with the finish John. You got this

[@davidnewton3064]

I remember the video where you first got a baitcaster. Gotta say you've gotten pretty good with it since then.

[@9one9er]

Love Lake Guntersville! Fished it several times on a bass boat, but never kayak fished it. It looks like so much fun. Best of luck! God bless.

[@heavenbound358]

Good job, John. Hopefully a better job on day two. GODSPEED

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Wow John. I hope you win sir. God bless you and your family and friends.....🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@jerryplesko9521]

That cabin air BNB whould be a great place to own.Good luck fishing the tournament.Have fun on your tourney 🙏

[@samuelwarden6285]

Great video as always buddy. I'm glad to see you got on some really good fish on Lake Guntersville. I've always heard how good it was and I only live a couple of hours from there. I just haven't ever fished there though. I'm looking forward to seeing day 2.👊👍

[@melissajohnson3547]

So very awesome that you had a great first day. I hope tomorrow brings even bigger fish your way.

[@brandonnutting56]

That Spinnerbait bite is absolutely AWESOME! One of my go to baits, awesome job man !

[@bretelliott3537]

Absolutely my favorite fishing show to watch without a doubt. You remind me so much of my best friend, and it makes me feel at home watching you fish. Hope you win the tournament!

[@samuelschult985]

Great first day and you're right on track fishing a bigger spinnerbait for the 2nd day 👍

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That place has many creeks & they're huge, so much grass this time of year, you picked the best place to fish because there's so much water its hard to know where they are at a lot of dead water, I've been told that the spinnerbait is something that fish hasn't seen in a long time, so glad you figured out a pattern with it, the main bass fish is a LM, a few spots & hardly any SM, glad in the top 10 on day one! 14:19

[@markgray8360]

Great job! Nice fish!

[@jayhuber1744]

I’m glad you film your tournament fishing. Congrats on a great start!

[@pauldockins9635]

Very nice 🎣👍

[@sweetcup6694]

That bite on the spinnerbait was a great catch.

[@sur3sh0texpert76]

My favorite kind of video!! Keep catching like that and you'll be in top ten for sure! What's the new setup? Somebody get this man a NET lol! Good luck tomorrow!

[@andrew_brent]

John your video quality on this one is absolutely awesome 👍👍👍

[@chipseiler1766]

Great to see you do this well and be so excited about day 1! About to watch day 2 now...

[@jaredyork5166]

Nice day of fishing new waters. Fish on and as always...Go DAWGS.

[@maryannegreenslade78]

Come to Bama and get the big ones, so happy for your total. Good luck tomorrow John🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@1jimif]

So cool to catch the video of that Large Mouth hitting the spinner bait! Makes me want to go throw one here in Suwannee Co. Florida! I might get the chance tomorrow, it's been a while because we are still cleaning up the property from hurricane Idalia, and I haven't been to the river, or a lake since before the storm...FishOn....jimi

[@rcieszkowski]

Great work John. Good luck on Day 2…

[@Bob-wg1oy]

I like the tournament video it's fun to root for you to catch big ones!! Thanks

[@waterratlyle2590]

Man, that's definitely the best 1st day of any tournament that I've ever seen. You have congratulations on being tied with 9th. Can't wait to see day 2 good luck.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Keep chucking and winding...don't forget to stop and let that spinnerbait drop before ya get that close to the kayak. They may not chase it that far tomorrow. Maybe even try a Colorado or similar blade.Good luck and thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed Day!!!

[@WaterfallWanderer]

Sprained my finger smashing the like button!!! Good luck brother, keep doing what your doing!

[@micahgrim2597]

Dude that bite at the yak was great footage!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it was nice of that fish to be on camera

[@mikeboyce584]

What a day, John! When your able to throw sixteen inchers back. Not much more, you could ask for. That. seventeen incher you're caught right at the boat And had your camera right on it that was fantastic. May the lord bless you through the rest of the tournament. Take a line from Jeremiah Johnson by Will Gear Your faired will pilgrim!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

was it worth the trouble?

[@mikeboyce584]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Weren't no trouble..

[@hajimeminatodani4835]

you really need some diagonal support on that trailer

[@ronaldshank7589]

Most definitely! It would definitely provide for more support, without the risk of the setup possibly collapsing. Imagine going down an Interstate Highway, and suddenly having that particular style of setup suddenly collapsing on the Highway. That could cause a major accident, and then, guess whose pocket that comes out of, as it relates to Insurance Claims, and maybe even Civil , and Criminal, charges for neglect? The Laws concerning such things, can be very harsh. So, yeah...I definitely agree with what you're saying here. Better safe, than sorry.

[@Kykayakbasser]

Awesome job!

[@aaronturner3498]

Just bought a plusinno fishing net for the kayak, folds up nice , floats I think its great for mainly bass fishing. You land alot of fish without one but i was nervous for you on a couple

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Wanted to see this one first before seeing todays video...your doing pretty good!

[@michellebentley5620]

The 17 inch you was a awesome visual bit keep it up pal

Great video. Where did you fish on Guntersville?

[@christiankell6074]

John, that was the kind of day that I have always dreamed about. I have to say that many times I have expressed my jealousy on this channel, but today I would say that I am the most jealous...LOL Keep doing what you're doing sir, you have been a huge inspiration to many people through your fishing and through spreading the gospel. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!

somehow the next day was even better

Anybody sitting on a cliffhanger for day #2? Me too, watching my own videos with anticipation! 🤣

[@jeffhawkins1191]

Nothing like a spinner bait bite when they’re on it

[@CliffHall-go7qy]

What a day.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video John have you ever used a crawfish on a spinner

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i dont think so

[@ronaldshank7589]

What I personally wish that would be developed, and allowed, is a much more stable fish-measuring device, that would allow for a secured base, and that would allow for a gentle kind of a way, to gently hold the fish that are being measured, in place. The Bass that are being caught are able, at least at this point, to suddenly thrash around, while being measured, and able to jump back into the water, without the fishermen being able to secure a proper measurement. That's something I've thought about, for a long time.

John you’ve got me up to early I’m not use to this. Pass a Mountain Dew please

[@WhiteNacho]

Looks really humid!

[@BIGCHEESE.]

I'm local to the middle TN area and I've been following for a few years now. I love fishing but in all honesty I'm not good at it whatsoever. I have plenty of tackle and a couple decent rods. I'd love the chance to chat if you could spare some time. Love the content.

[@simpletanks2624]

First like lol came across your videos love the format and your style of fishing keep them coming.

[@shephusted2714]

you should do a lures company in addition to merch - you will do better being independent than being sponsored just like starting up your own merch company is a solid decision - add some extras to every order like creek fishing tips etc #upsells #hellgrammites #crawfish #molds try some snake lures and then make your own - they work - try some big glide baits in the deeper water but overall stick to the pattern that is working - you should get in top10 with any luck - think about fish painter for these big impoundments to find bait and suspended fish

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

you know what i am trying to pursue just that, i usually do things slow but i hope to get there

[@shephusted2714]

@@CreekFishingAdventures you may as well step up cause you don't have much to lose and more to gain - add some special ingredients to your lure formula like some salt and ground up hellgrammites and fish oil - make the formula non toxic and biodegradeable - you have to do some due diligence but you can make a better mousetrap no doubt and be socially responsible - donate 10% of profits to a diversified group of charities like the local united way or whatever - should work out good for you - going slow is fine - do some giveaways on prototypes and build a list - the list is key #11 herbs and spices
