Creek Jigging for a BIG SMALLMOUTH

Went to my favorite smallmouth bass fishing creek in Tennessee in search of some hungry fish. Using the Booyah Baby boo jig with a Yum craw chunk trailer I try to hook a giant creek smallmouth.

Keep the location to yourself John, I agree other fisherman should explore for themselves to find their favorite spot 👍

That intro though 😂. I feel the same way because I haven't been since March 4th. The weather has been crappy here in NW AL. Mainly really windy. Great vid as always and im glad to see you finally catching fish on a jig . I love the strike king bitsy bug jig for creeks 👊👍.

[@claycompton4220]

I have seen you fish that creek in at least two other videos and can’t believe how much that area where the creek forks has changed! That water looked so blue and clear.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah for sure, that gravel really moves around

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Best intro EVER!!!!!!

[@dragchute1]

You are a braver man than I am with fast water wading. I fell in a local stream in medium flow and escaped in a different time zone! Take care.

[@leemowers9395]

Thanks John for another great creek adventure. Nice healthy fish population. great scenery. Thanks for sharing.

[@mattthomen1608]

Finding your own is hands down the best.sharing that spot is giving others a idea of what to look for.these videos are great for explaining how to creek fish! Thx John!

[@Tightt88]

You did the hard work and found that place. Now others have to do the same. People who demand you tell where your spots are, are just entitled.

[@altus8312]

Also, mad respect for not giving the location away!

[@andrewthomaswilton3092]

Yeah! The intro! 🤣 Just got back from Cabella’s with new leader line and tackle. Good luck this spring brethren and God bless! Fish for fish and fish for Souls!…

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

The spots you fish are amazing. Thanks for taking us along

[@scottmcnabney6879]

I live in central Wi. I have started just driving around scouting places because of this channel. We are still getting snow and the ice is still on the lakes. Love watching this stuff. Helps get through the long winter. God bless you John.

[@simplemanfishingvideos1395]

OUTSTANDING! Excellent video!

[@prestonrussell605]

Beautiful fishery and some awesome smallmouth bass!

[@waterratlyle2590]

Beautiful spot for sure. Got some good fish as well great job.

[@jchris3841]

That’s an amazing smallie in any body of water! Beautiful! Like your comment in the beginning about how the lack of proximity made it more special. Nice looking creek.

[@mikewilhelm6951]

Great video, John! The shifting gravel and silt from flooding is a fisherman's nemesis. Several years ago, my favorite hole on my favorite river disappeared in gravel after a torrential flood. The good news is that same flood gouged out other holes that ultimately held fish. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away!

[@ianjones6910]

I love these smallmouth videos; it's a virtual treat for me, as we don't have them down here in bayou country. As nice as those fish were, could you imagine hooking into the world record smallmouth, from Dale Hollow? That fish was almost 12lb. I've often said you could tie a 6 inch smallie tail to tail with a 12 inch largemouth, and that smallmouth would drag the largemouth all over the place. Greatest game fish, pound for pound, in my opinion.

[@RamonOutdoors]

Amazing place to catch some fish. Great work John!

[@cowboyfishing38]

Beautiful creek! We are really lucky down here in the southeast part of the country. We have so many small creeks that most people don’t even think about fishing. It’s like our own private fishing expedition every time I go to one. Nice underwater footage too, by the way.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Awesome looking smallmouth Jon!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@charliestales5504]

Great video, again! Beautiful scenery and it sure makes me homesick!

That's a absolutely awesome spot man and beautiful smallies

[@joeunger6059]

Enjoy your vids. Here in centeral Mi the ice has just recently come off the lakes, and snowing today. This is a welcomed break

[@steveboggs9777]

Glad to see you finall6 get back out wading. Love your Kayak adventures, but actually walking a creek looking for the spots and catching fish is what got me hooked on your videos. Yep! You should keep your locations a mystery. It takes away the fun of exploring and trying different and new techniques if everyone wants to copy you. I'm so glad that you keep that as an on going part of your message.

[@jlmize1507]

Thanx for taking me fishing with you for this episode. Truly enjoy your videos. I had the break-off problem with 8# and 10# fluorocarbon leader, but it stopped when I switched to 12# fluoro leader. Hook-ups increased tremendously. I fish 10# braid with 12# leader for smallmouth. I usually learn something, like I did today. Once again, your content is a Keeper. TLF

[@gregbagwell5543]

I’m about 99% sure you worked on my hvac unit when you lived in Clarksville. I wish I had know you liked to fish, but I would only have slowed you down in your work. I enjoy your video’s, and am glad you’re making a living doing what you love...and that you know you’re blessed in doing so!

haha, i probably did, did a/c for 8 years in clarksvill

I think I caught on to your secret, John..Whenever you cast , and then spin the reel handle and let go of it to freewheel a few more turns, you get a fish to hit! ! I noticed that in your others videos, too.... Guess I have to go public with your secret now!! :-)

Beautiful creek. I fish some here in Kentucky that look about like that myself. Haven't been able to wade fish since I went 2 weeks ago but I did pretty good then. Hip waders are what I use when the water temp is still pretty cool. Great video! Keep it up!

i knew when you threw that jig by that wood structure you were gonna catch one its a given, thats where bass sit to ambush

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Nice video. You can't beat good fishing action like this. I would recommend a 7 foot medium heavy rod for this type of jig fishing (spinning rod).

[@Kingcanvas95]

I thought you were talking to me, great videos as always. Keep up the good work. God Bless

[@joshuastout7975]

I really like your channel and if your ever up toward northern middle Tennessee I'd really like to show you a few things about bad fishing in the creek. That's all I do during the summer for the last 25 years. I've learned some things from you but I could really show you a few things for catching the 5 to 6 pounders that are hard to make bite

[@catfish6138]

Probably had my best day of creek smallies yesterday but man I would love to hang into one of those TN beasts!

[@rgdayo]

Great video! Careful in that current though. I've really enjoyed seeing the rock bass the last few videos. They're just cool looking, especially that big fat one at the end.

That is a good looking Creek! Solid SmallMouth. Great Video! I want to be like you when I grow up. haha

[@OntheRealFishing]

Best Intro EVER!!

[@brianathern9154]

Very nice adventure John. Worked through the fun initial dinks as we call them, but found some dandy smallies. I've had some frustration fishing heavier jigs on medium spinning gear. You do pretty much have to go medium heavy or baitcaster for the solid hook set. Either way it's a blast and yes I keep most of my stream locations within my circle of buddies only that go with me. Some of them even remove their lures before we walk out in case we're spotted..my brother's line "do your own recon work I'm not advertising". Thanks for sharing brother

[@ericwakeman6665]

Man I live within an hour of some incredible smallmouth fishing but creeks like that make me want to head yer way. Keep ‘em to yourself John half the fun is discovering for yourself.

[@davidtrask3640]

No matter if you tell us or not ? It’s beautiful and I’m just along for the ride and God bless you

[@chasebarnes2667]

Trim your weed guard to help with hook ups on a jig. Great content love the videos

[@wadequalls8997]

man love the videos i have a place for u to try in middle tn

[@Edge21596]

Great video. I do recommend you use a 7ft MH fast action baitcaster ( or spinning reel if you prefer) when throwing jigs just because you have to set the hook hard. You can get away with finesse jigs on a medium rod but with 3/8 oz or 1/2 oz jigs, I strongly recommend the MH rod. And since that area has a lot of rocks, a football jig is a great option.

[@theangleraquarist]

@Straight To The Point Outdoors not really but then again I did watch 1Rod fish a smallie creek with a baitcaster

[@OzarkBassinTV]

that big smallmouth matches my pb! sick catches man! great creek. im exploring some new places soon! got a few creeks scoped out on maps!

[@GRiZZLYSQUiRREL]

I love your content man. I’m not sure if you’ve ever posted about the topic so feel free to let me know if you have. But if you’ve never made a video on creek fishing gear as in what you’re running have you ever made a video about what all you’re using? I’ve always been a pond hopper for largemouth. Just started creek fishing the last two years and absolutely love it. Just looking for some insight from my favorite creek fishing channel! Tight lines brother 🤘🏻

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That current was booking it!!!!

[@williamschomer9275]

Good morning John! Great video, keep those spots secret, better to explore than being told where to fish! God bless you my friend!

[@george8214]

Nice video. You need waders!! Your point on naming these creeks in your videos is important. You’re now reaching a large number of folks with your channel and the spots you fish couldn’t take a lot of pressure. I think the way you approach that is appropriate.

[@WadeLife]

Great upload John I've only shared special place with like 3 people and so far they've honored not telling anyone...

[@Pwrcritter]

Nice, waters still pretty cold here in Wv.

[@chadsinclair6872]

Can't wait for it to warm up here a bit and get back to slammin' some fat sallys

[@wolfgang2126]

I walk a lot of streams like that, trout fishing. I strongly recommend getting yourself a walking stick. They make crossing the current much easier and safer. I tie it to my belt and let it drift when fishing. Stays out of the way.

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

Nothing like smallies in a creek 🔥

[@kentuckyboy541]

Killing me. What you're doing is my all time favorite way to fish. Been doing it 20 years. Doubt I'll get to go this year. I got to have a double hip replacement. May be able to hobble down on one. Lol

Nice Bass,

[@randyblevins9489]

Nice smallies ! That current was brisk ! I was a little afraid that you might fall or get your feet knocked out from under you. Always be safe, we have a continual need for more videos ! LOL ! If you're down for the count, we all must suffer. LOL ! Randy B.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Oh shoot I was just watching another one of your videos earlier today where you were catching big ones and it kinda looks like the same spot. Thats a quality creek.

[@adamsmith3996]

thats a beautiful creek. im lucky to live on lake erie. starting in may smallies run up the tributaries to spawn. i dont fish beds but we have 50 fish days with fish surpassing 5lbs.
