Fishing’s fun, praise the Lord.

[@AYOFishing]

I catch some giants a little further south if you ever wanna collab man! Shoalies are awesome man!

[@TheHemiphil81]

That would be an awesome collaboration with badge..my favorite KZbin fishing channel. 🎣 👍

[@MCSpartans2002]

Ayo what’s up

[@rickyflinchum2909]

AYO, cool seeing you commenting on one of my favorite fishing channels. You know besides yours and LOJO'S. BUT, tell me what exactly is a shoal bass. They just look like smallmouth to me. What is the difference. I know you catch them quite a bit.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Shoal bass are awesome!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Oh awesome man. I thought you fished that river sometimes. I’d love to fish it some more

[@IceCream-and-HeadLice]

AMEN! pretty view. “Way down yonder on the Chattahootchi!”

[@nestingherit7012]

It gets hotter than the hootchee gootchee....

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Lots of current flowing!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee!!

[@brianroberson2004]

My brother in law and I fish the Upper Flint River and catch some nice size Shoulies. We even have a couple that has been mounted. We kayak down to the shoals, get out and wade and fish. Love the videos and the verses at the end. Keep them coming. God bless. Job 12:8 Speak to the Earth and it will teach you.

[@lesterreaper9696]

John because of watching you creek fishing and expanding to other venues I got excited to fish again. Out of it for 30 years caught my first bass 3 lbs few weeks ago 19 inches. Would have fished more but I have a bad back but I will fish again thanks John and the scriptures are great.

[@bennyharris1441]

My man, if you want to catch Shoal bass get yourself down to the Flint river, in Upson Co, and hook up with Allen Ragsdale. Allen is the Shoalie king in Mid-GA!!

[@JamesFishingAdventures]

Kayak Fishing is great fun!

[@jadewatson2440]

use your paddle as a brace to push trees out of the way.

[@thatoldcomicsmell56]

Fishing the Chattanasty. Just be sure to stay above Atlanta. I’m off West Point Lake... we don’t drink until Atlanta flushes.

[@rhodesianhunter9360]

All those lay downs and obstacles remind me of my river. I'm glad some one finaly showed real river kayak fishing.

[@wallacebell4311]

You need to make yourself a drag anchor to slow down your float!

[@garrymillwood5507]

never seen picnic tables in the water but that is convenient

[@greggc8088]

Sure do look like the spots we catch above Lula Park in the upper end of Lake Lanier.

[@robertjanko6709]

I like that you care a lot for local fish populations. Diversity is really important and fisherman should always care for it and support the authorities with some social workhours. Big thumbs up for showing us some new species!

[@stevethebarber1]

Those picnic tables in the river were perfect! Looks like a beautiful place to fish and explore. Thanks for taking us along

[@maryannegreenslade78]

I sure did enjoy this video John🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Y’all need some chain drag anchors.

[@jasonlynch2919]

Lovely little river cruise and fish catch.

[@fullsendbassfishing2k261]

That’s an amazing day of fishin! Have a good day y’all!

[@tnfishing9089]

This is gonna be awesome!! Shoalies are beasts!

[@stevehogan8829]

Wow, coming up on 100,000 Subs. NICE> Enjoyable video. thanks for sharing and thanks for the link to aarons channel.

[@donnyseputis6288]

John just want to say ty for providing such awesome entertainment to say the least. You are such a nice and humble individual it's just a pleasure, keep pumping the videos out buddy and we're going to keep watching.

[@christiankell6074]

I used to love the Chattahoochee river fishing.....caught a lot of chattahoochee bass just above Lake Lanier on the river and in some creeks that way..... I sure miss those days, thanks for the reminder John God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!

[@gregclark3334]

I really enjoy your videos and look for them every day. I fish a lot of the same areas as you do. You've even helped me find a couple new ones in TN. Keep up the good work!

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

Looks like 2 fun trips. It’s been a long time since I caught a shoalie. I used to fish for them often when I lived in Middle Ga. beautiful fish!

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

I love watching your videos thank you for sharing John God bless you 🙏

[@fishsmack]

Aaron's Shoal bass was a beast!!

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Thanks!

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

As always fun stuff!

[@dannyderriso4982]

Man, that was like fishing paradise!!

[@christopherwood2290]

So John Dalton got his first Shoal bass. About time there dude! Congratulations.

[@anneball683]

Love the scenery. Nice vid. Lotza action.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

I would recommend using an anchor trolley with a stake out pole on your kayak.

[@douglaswilliams7509]

As always, great vid !

[@countrysiderussell8003]

BOOM. Congrats on the shoal

[@chrisdeering1120]

Thanks brah! Your show gets my mind and heart ready for bed. Peace be with you

[@l00realist89]

I’ve fished the conasauga in the dalton/chatsworth area all my life. Grew up around it, still enjoy fishing it when I get the chance. Just a great area to catch multiple species of fish.

[@vanwinkleproject1600]

Great trip !

[@MackinNC1]

Awesome Job, got my first shoal bass 11? years ago in the flint. Had 3 or 4 trips planned there and every time it has flooded me out. the upper hooch stretch you were on is on my bucket list as I have a friend and he luvs that stretch.

[@ReeceLifeDadLife]

Nice day fishing. That is a fast moving river.

[@WaynJul]

That's a nice scenic river to float and do some fishing. Picnic tables made for floaters.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Those Shoal bass were awesome looking 👌

[@fishsmack]

Nice work guys! Cool looking area. Man down...Man down...somebody help Aaron!! I have never caught a Shoal Bass before, or a Spotted bass.

[@jasperchandler467]

I love catching shoals they fight so hard. And love the vids keep up the amazing work 👍

[@Philc231]

I believed you have the most raw talent on KZbin. Your instincts are outstanding. No pretense, regular Christian guy being blessed by our Lord. Do not loose focus John very nice to see.

[@skingry]

You need a drag chain to slow you down in the calm sections

[@eddiegross3679]

Keep up the good work

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

Man, you had to WORK for those fish in that first river!! Rapids tested your skills and you nailed it! Great vid!

[@shockwavezero3979]

I got my Georgia slam last year. Very fun chasing them all down.

[@fishingmike5281]

shoal bass is the one i havn't caught yet. nice catch guys

[@louiejordan7625]

Good one i need to venture out to a new spot

[@creeksidehashman5365]

Awsome. 2 hours south and you could be on the best shoal bass river in the world, the mighty flint.

[@BeatlePhillips]

I live in Middle Georgia on the flint river (shoalbass heaven). Those spotted bass are an invasive species in the shoalbass’s habitat. At least where I’m at. But still fun to catch . Love video

[@daveward1484]

Shoal bass looks sorta like a small mouth (brown) bass. The vertical markings are similar.

[@MattLaClear]

Great video!

[@bobwarren8836]

Such a good vid. Showed challenges of kayaking and fishing at same time. Of all guys I watch on KZbin, your vids show most improvement. 👍

[@kevinstocks6593]

I live in north GA. Shoal bass are some fighters. My PB is 4 lbs 5 oz. Caught on a jig below Morgan Falls dam.

[@jdeanmusic]

Its beautiful there. Got family in Couhun

[@prestonrussell605]

Cool video!

[@Ryanralston07]

Dalton! My home town!

[@mikeboyce584]

Great video John those bass are unique never heard of them really I guess they're only in that area right You're getting real good at handling that kayak like a pro Talk to a guy from Texas today fishing in my territory for small amount great guy says he watches your channel all the time sorry didn't catch his name He's a nice guy He's thinking about starting a channel up to similar to yours haven't gotten out much lately been sick just nice to talk to somebody about fishing and as always nice to watch your videos thanks John God bless you and keep you

[@SamFugarino]

Just up the road from me. Still haven't caught one of those. Great video.

[@randyblevins9489]

Amost like "Uncle Toad's Wild Ride" !!! Too much current, not enough casts. My first time seeing a Shoal bass. Aaron got a nice bass there. I am liking the musical intros for your vids ! As always, great video. Always entertaining !!! RKB

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Have you ever fished Look out Creek in Chattanooga? Near Look out Mountain. It runs into the TN River.

[@codybain4037]

It won’t be many years until shoal Bass are extirpated from Georgia as well.

[@coreybrady6592]

I catch some gooood shoal bass on the lower hooch! Looks like a great day tho!

[@anastaciolopez1434]

Great video/

[@FishHookedFishing]

We definitely wanna bring shoal bass to our channel!🔥

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Kayaking is always an adventure 😅

[@Clokwise4]

Have you ever tried a drift sock to try slowing down on the river

[@flashy5150]

If you’re gonna fish those rivers with current, you need an anchor.

[@jadewatson2440]

can u explain? i fish rivers like these and dont have an anchor. i see where a power pole would work. but think regular anchor is a pain

[@xIPISIYICIHIOIx]

You can drag a chain. He definitely blew past all the good fishing holes 😂!!

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

You need to get you a tether for your phone! Rouge fishing makes a good one, or Nite Ize makes one too! It could easily fall out of your pocket, I've almost had it happen.

[@bassgee2938]

that first Chattahoochee Bass only has to be 8 inches to count for the Georgia Bass Slam. It looks that big to me.

[@thecreekcrawler]

you should have come to ICAST man!!! Will you be going next year?

[@alabamaoutdoors4468]

My buddy caught a 5 lb shoal , he was holding it in the creek while I went to get truck and cooler , it got away from him , 😅

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

wow, thats a giant

[@davidtrask3640]

The Shoal bass look just like Smallmouth

[@douglasbunn166]

I'm fishing the hooch Sunday morning where did yall put in and take out?

[@slawterworld4023]

Where did y’all lauch the boat from

[@tommyhunter1817]

Some monster stripers in that area, too. Trust me.

[@billymcgee8622]

Have u ever tried the deisel baits hellermites

[@tuckernavarre8765]

I've been looking into getting a picsifun reel and idk if I should get the flame 4000 or spend the extra little bit and get the viper?

[@fishinga1447]

Where did you put in at

[@nathanc30]

Where did y'all put in?

[@mikewheeler3449]

When you are videoing? Are you using onboard microphone on the cameras, or external mics?

[@CaboWabotv]

how do you get back to your car?

[@louiejordan7625]

U need an anchor

[@Dylanj612]

Hey what highway is that off of?

[@patrickchilds5486]

Do you eat fish? I don’t like fish to eat but love fishing.

[@sgtango4310]

Alan Jackson approves this video

[@_FisherFolk_]

Tallapoosa?? 😂😂😂😂

[@breezysports4962]

A thousand hills* those aren’t mountains

[@bobdixon532]

Several comments about anchors, and stake poles. Those power poles are extremely expensive, but you are losing casts and fighting too hard by not being able to anchor or stake yourself out so you can fish the good looking spots.

[@philliphutcheson4219]

Shoal bass>smallies change my mind...

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

I agree!

[@wingsofrelipton9245]

They turn blue out of the water like a bluegill

[@shockwavezero3979]

Agreed! Particularly the big boys that live down in the Flint.

[@bmd1825]

Current was almost too fast to fish..

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

The current was really fast in some places, but there were definitely slower sections where we could cast more

[@stuffonstuffonstuff3237]

How do shoal bass fight like

[@SchwarzenWinter]

Hard. Like a smallmouth. They only live in rivers and creeks and spend almost all their time around rocky shoals with fast current, so they get strong for their size.

[@stuffonstuffonstuff3237]

@@SchwarzenWinter that’s pretty hard fight

[@deepskywest3633]

Pedals

[@peterwallace9764]

Who is going to paddle you back up to the vehicle parked on the ROAD.

[@stanwebb3480]

Show the difference in the kinds of bass why are these two species different??????

[@christopherwood2290]

Aaron doesn't look like a twelve year old anymore lol!

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Haha😂

[@hertzer2000]

...A lot about fishing and a little bout chuuuubs.
