The skipjack are biting at Old Hickory Lake right now. It's so bizarre that I know that considering I've never fished in TN lol. Realistic Fishing just caught a couple there on a 2 inch jerkbait today.

[@jamolljamoll2937]

What a life, but I do realize there’s a lot of work involved churning out these videos...and you obviously take it seriously, seems like you have a new one out every other day.. that’s a lot of dedication. ...I appreciate you brother and God bless...

[@MisesTrucker]

Nothing starts the day off like some fishing in the morning ✌️😎☕

[@ronaldshank7589]

Especially when they're hitting, hard, fast, and furious! I've caught some fish in my lifetime that struck so hard and fast, and that seemingly came out of nowhere, that it's a good thing that I have a Strong Heart! Otherwise, I'd of probably about keeled over dead from the shock of it all! 😵😀😀😀

[@suburbanangling]

darn you for showing the clip of the sour patch bites . now I want some candy lol

[@nealvaliant603]

Breakfast of champions, up a creek with a paddle, and a few fish, can't ask for more. GOD BLESS BROTHER!

[@Schatzinger]

I scraped up my reel and my knuckles real good on that dangerous area you were walking down a few months ago. There's some good fish in that area!

[@danielforehand2572]

Another great video and thanks John! Looking forward to the ones you are editing and releasing soon!!

[@srsykes49]

LOL You're living my dream life 😊 Good on yuh!

[@ronaldshank7589]

You and your sour candy!😀😀😀 Looks like you're definitely having fun. That one Largemouth Bass that you caught about 2/3rds of the way through this video, the one you said was hitting weird, fought and jumped around like a Smallmouth Bass! I thought that that was what you caught, until I saw that it was, indeed, a Largemouth Bass. Great video, as always. You DEFINITELY put up a great Bible Verse! People tend to forget who is in control of this whole she-bang, that being GOD! Not one jot or tittle of his WORD will ever pass away. It is ETERNAL!!! God bless you, and have a great day!

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

I thought that spillway looked familiar. I’ve seen it on Realistic fishing channel. Lol. Such a beautiful lake. I need to fish there someday.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Oh I actually didn’t realize that

[@jacobstarr9010]

The deer where I live aren't even afraid of us. There's a nature center where lots of deer live, and you could walk right up to one and pet it and it still would stay put.

[@rickdrent]

Like the way you are fishing, greetings from the Netherlands

[@tracytodd8934]

I've never caught skip jack before. Looks like great catfish bait. Thanks for a great video!!

[@lindagsmith7846]

I love those "sour candies" the Trolli's are good. Good fishing too, that spillway looked iffy. Have fun. 🐟

[@christopherwood2290]

6:07. Always get a kick out of John digging into snacks!

[@oldmanfred8676]

He used to do the Dew and Doritos. They should sponsor some Vids!

[@kenmather6936]

Good to see you up in my neck of the woods. Old Hickory is my home lake. It’s pretty dirty most of the time, but does produce some great Largemouth.

[@countryboycreekfishing0088]

Great video Mr. John. Me and my lady enjoy watching your fishing content. Keep posting please sir!!!

[@fishingknotcatching9182]

Recommend next time below the dam, put one of those skipjacks on a catfish rig with float for the striper. State record is like 65lbs.

[@christiankell6074]

Good to see the bait caster produce again...LOL They do take some getting used to but they make it easy for some of those lake hogs. Another great video with some good fish God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!

[@jimmieevans7175]

Good luck catch some big fish

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Your right they would make great bait . I would imagine there is some monster cats there too . Beautiful place , really enjoyed watching. 👍

[@fishingwithrick3991]

Dude that's my spot!! It's loaded with fish there. Big crappie, sauger, hybrids, huge bluegills. The othe side of the dam is a better spot though, where the barges goes through. Hope you had a good time! 🙏

[@SK-zy6el]

Great vid as usual. Spillway looked very scary to me. So thrilled you visit these places..I'd never have the guts to do it.

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Looks like a super nice morning . Gotta love exploring new places..

[@juanvaldez5811]

Nice vid brother John! Wouldn't mind seeing a few spillway vids.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I’m going to do more in the winter time

[@MECH-MASTER]

Thanks, needed this today. 👍

[@Meditation409]

That was cool! That spillway looked really promising! 😀💯💯

[@Mrs.Tincher]

This is 5 minutes from my house! Cool to see stuff I recognized. There's always deer down at that park. There's an archery course right there too. That's a really popular spot to fish.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Oh cool

[@nikkiearl3740]

I fish this lake everyday!!

[@josephmarshall4575]

Great videos keepbon you're doing a fantastic thing.

[@Meditation409]

There are definitely some giants in that spillway! 💯💯

[@danieltull9583]

I like fishing below dams and power houses. Lots of current and food for fish

[@zachwestin2379]

love your videos man!

[@joshuawilson8182]

That's a beautiful lake. Wow. Cool video 🤙

[@StLMoWeathershare]

Looks like it was a beautiful day and you are always happy with anything you catch. I really like that about you.Take care.

[@smokymountainoutdoorsman1991]

Man, fishing at big dams like that is the best. Wish I lived closer to one.

[@TheChubbyJB]

Loved the video. I live in the Cedar Creek area and fish the lake a lot. Keep the content coming!

[@crackertime2164]

Cool video and good job on fishing 🎣

[@fishgrubspinners6762]

Nice, you're crushing it.

[@petekbleeepingaustralia8720]

Creeky kool show and nice dam looks like there some big fish in there 🍺

[@tnbass2833]

Old hickory is my home lake.The bite can be really good when the currents going.It absolutely sucks on days when there isn't alot of current.

[@lejonleonard9312]

When the current isnt going there's always monster bluegill&catfish still biting.right where he's standing.

[@brentonatkins]

Awesome video man!

[@tennesseecreekangler9660]

What're you doing in my neck of the woods? lol. I hear Old Hickory Lake is a great spot to fish topwater frogs, propbaits and deep running squarebill crankbaits.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

Local friends of generations told me not to eat those Dupont fish, FTR

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Just trying to get some fish

[@tennesseecreekangler9660]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Sounds like you had a good time doing just that!

[@ShowMeCreeks]

That does look dangerous. I bet there is some giants in there. Pretty cool little waterfall on the left. Nice video man.

[@jaywalker2999]

I've seen guys catch paddle fish in that exact spot it's to dangerous for me tho lol

[@tripleemce5003]

I have been there, now that I think about it, it’s super deep, the current is STRONG, and I was fishing right on the edge lol. Would not have been a good situation if I stepped the wrong way and fell in

[@ShowMeCreeks]

@Seth Johnson if there's no risk is there a reward? Haha

[@ShowMeCreeks]

@Seth Johnson haha yeah sometimes you got to risk the biscuit for the bacon. Idk what that mean other than risk are worth it if bacon is involved.

this one was great video

[@juniorsantiago4858]

[@Josh-mg7rm]

Man yall got some nice creeks and rivers in Tennessee. Down here in Texas we got a little something also. We don't have Rock Bass in my area but we have Guadalupe Bass in the Creeks and Rivers.

[@jurreldurgul1426]

You should fish the Percy priest dam

[@ramoo6714]

When I was a teenage we would go right where you are at and "SNAG" 30 to 50 pound "Shovel bill catfish"...

[@robparkersfishingworld]

Man you should link up with Alex from realistic fishing. He fishes that lake and around that area alot

[@subieracer005]

I was just about to post the same thing

[@jonathanandrews5559]

Was just about to say the same thing! Remember this summer he was catching gar out of there

[@robparkersfishingworld]

@@jonathanandrews5559 i do. And all the skipjack as well.

[@ericbrewer4811]

Just saying if you look it's the same lake also that he fishes at also.

All good!

[@louiejordan7625]

Well...it is YOUR JOB!!(fishing) Must be nice!!

[@amfishing5873]

Very good your location

[@BlueEyedSoul24]

There are some huge striped bass in this lake too. You should check that out.

[@MrSweetloustyles]

Whaaaaat!?!? So awesome to see a KZbinr fishing the same spot you do. There are huge white sturgeon down there next to that weird staircase that just hangout.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

That must of been what I saw jump out of the water

[@The94accord]

I have the same boat, and had a tournament on old hickory this past saturday

[@dinht18]

Was there last night. The walleye and sauger are on fire!

[@joshwhite9952]

Try 2 flies stacked with a small 1/8 casting spoon below them . You will pull in 2-3 Skipjack at a time . Its what we do here at the Ft.Loudoun dam. Great vid brother . God bless

[@gtingaming716]

A man after my own heart, loves his sour jelly candy!

[@reellife6157]

i fish there just about every day but further down the way at the second parking area. decent walleye and sauger :)

[@CuttyKeeton-1985]

Caught any around 10lbs or more?

[@jeffgood9514]

Nice ! That's just a mile down from my house !

[@shephusted2714]

new places ftw

[@zekesaves7169]

Ummmm...I live 10min away! I fish there a lot haha

[@johnwick1234]

Where abouts?? I'm out in Lebanon.

[@jdyohe04]

I met a guy fishing yhe other day. He said he had some Nikko Helgramites on order. I asked him if he watched you on KZbin. Yes. Keep up the good work.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Try the station camp Creek area where it runs into the lake.

[@carz4lifeallcar236]

There's alot of rockfish at that spot!

[@joshwhite9952]

Also... Try a Fluke on a Scrounger Head on those bluff walls . Old Tennessee trick

[@fishn_aaron_outdoors4984]

Alex from realistic fishing fishes that spot!😳🤘🎣

[@rogerro2343]

They have huge rock fish there. My uncle fishes there

[@jaydenburch7153]

Go there February through may when the water is high and throw a big 4 inch swimbait and let it drift along the wall.

[@corbums3927]

If you’re in the area still, look into local parks, there’s a creek behind a high school that has some nice bass in it

[@evint6624]

I've been catfishing here before got some good ones

[@bige5838]

Brought out the bait caster and caught your biggest fish good video

[@greenpighunter6930]

Nice

[@tomfisher2103]

Nice video brother! You might run into Alex from Realistic fishing there. Keep up the awesome work.

[@johngrimes7510]

To increase catching larger bass in the creeks, increase the size of your Hellgamittee to 5” bigger bait bigger fish. Plus you’re still not gonna lose the smaller fish either. It’s just a better look.

[@fishing5462]

fish there since I was a kid

[@CREEKFISHING423]

I absolutely cannot real with my left hand. Spinning or baitcast... Glad to hear you're coming to the east side again. I'll be looking forward to that video!

[@oldmanfred8676]

You can do it! Force yourself! Wasting time changing hands Sir!!! I have a friend with the same mindset! He won’t even try🤚

[@sunfishassassin5963]

I fished a new private pond for the first time today out of the kyack. About 8 acres..the guy said throw nothing back..4 hours 52..1 bass 5 shellcrackers and the rest bluegills..already cleaned them...and of course I will be posting pics on fishbrain...the sunfish Assassin77 strikes again...

[@jasmijnariel]

Nothing wrong with some dangerous fishing, isnt it 😉😉

[@johngrimes7510]

Suggestion, try Fishing a wide gap EWG HOOK, 2/0 fish your hellagamitte weedless . Add a 1/16 oz bullet weight, with or without a bomber stoper(Texas rig) it will improve hook ups and a lot less sagging . You won’t have to rig your bait sideways.

[@fishing5462]

put one of the Skipjacks on live hook it through the lip and let it drift you will hook up

[@CC_Marauder]

It's with a heavy heart that I weigh in at #881👍 🎣 👀 today. Lost a close 1st cousin today that is near my age (53). We mourn his way too early loss on this day. TY for the few minutes of distraction.

Oh that’s too bad

Nice spot. I have seen it before on Realistic fishing’s channel.

[@jeffmiller3411]

That’s where I put my boat in. Great area. Also, below that dam has produced some very nice cats and stripe

[@ssgallencooper]

Wow, those places look VERY FAMILIAR...and Realistic.

[@MrJuani2067]

Excellent! Greetings from Argentina, what line do you use in rod? is it monofilament or flourocarbon? and what pounds?

[@2007dixiegirl]

You may or may not find the bait cast reel feels more comfortable if you put it in the palm of your hand Almost wrap your hand around the reel and the rod. 👍

I fished that spot, the long fish surfacing are most likely gar.
