Homecoming Creek Fishing SURPRISE!!

What a return trip to Kentucky, and the first ever fishing trip in the town I was born. The day started out before the sun came up to get on a 8 mile stretch of a creek that was shallow and beautiful. There is no way we thought the trip would be as good and have an ending like it did.

I appreciate you using your platform to not only be a "Creek Fisherman" but a "Fisher of Men" God Bless You!

[@johnwhite993]

He is definitely a good man. Love all of his videos

[@Eric-ed8ti]

The fact that you took as long as you did to compassionately talk about the injured fish tells me a lot about your character. 👍

[@cbeardmusic4295]

i was glued to my screen pulling for that fish!

[@ScottMacdonaldfishing]

I look at this way. If the fish unfortunately dies. That dead fish will feed all kinds of other fish and creatures. Hes not going to waste.

[@MrStvwinks]

My wife is from Alabama and was an avid fisher until disabled. You are just about the only one she enjoys watching fish, and you have the added bonus of sounding like home to her. She was like you with luck and she outfished everyone we know. She loved it so much that she dreams at night about fishing still, even though she can't do it anymore.

[@michaelangelofishing2534]

Your videos are getting better and better please keep it up, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now and enjoy your creek fishing adventures

[@st93er]

John every cast: "its a biggen" 😂 I love it

[@thrundawolf187]

absolutely addicted to your videos especially when i cant go fishing. yet it makes me wanna fish even more also from my point of view, a fish dying from fishing is the cycle of life. we are like any predator but sometimes catch and release doesnt always go to plan but atleast we have a choice to let them go. it happens and will happen.

[@AintB2]

Singing the "Circle of Life" song.

[@cobrajet8866]

18 is OK. He will complete the circle of life.

[@bluesdad54]

A shame to lose that nice bass but as you said, its the way life goes. None of us want to waste a fish but you tried your best to revive him. Another good video. Thanks for inviting us to homecoming.

[@ri-jm5tn]

It’s days like these that keeps you coming back for more! I’m just as addicted to river/creek fishing as I was 50+ years ago. Great adventure, great video!

[@suemartinez715]

It is so beautiful to watch your fishing videos and added shots of scenery 😮😊

[@JeremyMartin-xq7pb]

"Nature....not the lightning, I'll take the rain......" I'm still laughing when I think about this.

[@micahgrim2597]

Dude that whole video was so cool John! Lol it had it all, sentimental, great fishing, dramatic storm, people falling down, and church in the morning! Thanks for the watch buddy. 10/10

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

those days are definitely special

[@randyblevins9489]

Great video ! It has every element for "Creek Fishing Adventures" award for the year ! Glad you were able to get back to Kentucky for a trip. Lots of beautiful fish for your group. When you were in the storm, I got a little worried about that Lightin' Rod sticking up on the back of your boat !!!!!! LOL ! As for the smallie that didn't make it, it happens to all who fish at one time or another. As you thoughtfully described, it became as the circle (cycle) of life. Always good to re-connect with old friends. Thanks for taking us along with ya'll. Perfect WORD at the close. Always be safe. Pap Blevins (S.E. Kentucky)

[@cavefish8]

Me and my 8 year old river fish out of a Jackson Big Tuna every weekend. It's all he cares about these days. We watch your videos every night before bed. Keep up the good work. He told me last night "dad we really gotta get some of them hellgramites". We really appreciate and enjoy your content.

[@admmhammond]

They say you can never go home again. "They" never went fishing. Great video my man. Your video/music for your intros and interludes are great as well! Your grabbing some great music for those shots. Keep those up.

[@markbrooks5278]

Man that was quite the adventure John!! Thanks for taking us along, so glad you made it out safe from that one , and congratulations on those big fish!!😉👍

[@dragchute1]

What we endure for a great fishing day 😅😅. Hail is like discovering a wasp nest in a flower bed.

[@KyleUselton-is6ue]

Nothing better than going home!! Especially when it's been a while. What a blessing!!

[@Matayosfishing]

Dang right those smallies are giving you a warm welcome home. They're telling you come back!!!!!🤘🤘🤣

[@anthonyhipps8500]

John, nothing wrong with keeping that one to eat. You did your best to revive it, but never forget fishing is a blood sport.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

I know sometimes it happens when we catch fish that they swallow the hook & we have no control over it, I have cut my line to try to save them but sometimes it's their time to go, one time I felt so bad that I killed one & it was floating & a bald eagle came and got it, made me much happier that it was the circle of life, but what an awesome float with so many great catches, your do lucky to get to do what your doing & I know you don't take it for granted! God bless you!🎣👍

[@gottogofishing4929]

None of us should ever forget that we participate in a Bloodsport. We do our best to preserve our quarry especially the bigger ones but we can't win them all.

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

Thanks for being honest about that fish that didn't recover. I'm certain that many youtubers just edit that part out. Great video btw, the music company service you started using seems to really add value to your videos, hopefully it pays off with more subs!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@joelj1355]

Your true nature as a sportsman shows through in your concern over the fish in distress; men of character show respect for wildlife when hunting and fishing.

[@Jackalspit]

My friend deep hooked a big smallmouth once on a canoe/camp trip. We cleaned and scaled it, and covered it inside and out with old bay and butter and roasted it over the campfire. One of the tastiest fish ever. Just saying. I hated that it died but at least it provided a good meal for us.

[@waterratlyle2590]

Well done everyone and way to fight the storm.

[@heavenbound358]

I've been caught on the water in a downpour like that....DON'T CARE FOR IT!! LOL 😆

[@beforethunder4987]

Happened to my friend and I on The Lake O' the Pines in East Texas. On his 19' john boat out in the middle of the lake (big lake), we sat there with water just rushing off the bills of our hats. Then we looked at each other and just busted out laughing! Good times.

[@Pixieshade]

Welcome home. From Somerset KY and was hoping you’d come up and hit some KY creeks. Looking forward to more KY creek fishing videos. 😊

[@donmclemore1396]

John looks like you had a good day. Anytime you catch good size smallies it's a good day.

[@chipseiler1766]

That was truly an "EPIC" day of fishing. I guess you had to pay your dues at the end! That was rough! All in all just a beautiful and well timed trip. What a perfect scripture passage to end with. You're awesome! Blessings!

[@beverlycurry4370]

I'm proud the Lord looked over you 🙏

[@jayhuber1744]

Impossible to pick my favorite video of yours because there are so many good ones, but this one has to be in my top 5. It had highlights, struggles, and the perfect Bible verse at the end. God bless, John.

[@CopleyintheCreek]

Its the circle of life . That bass will become food and something else will take its place.

[@ChrisMitchellFishing]

I completely agree with you on fish casualties. It happens and there's no ill intent. We all try our best to take care of them. It always makes me feel better thinking that another animal has an opportunity to eat. Btw, I stole your front camera idea.😂

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That was quite a storm there buddy!!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@heavenbound358]

Definitely a quality smallmouth, John

[@AmateurTennesseeFishing]

Enjoying the longer videos!

[@todddonaldson2822]

You won’t forget this one ever! Thank you for taking us along. vaya con Dios

[@powersaustin63]

Great day fishing! Thanks John.

[@allstarplumbingremodel1783]

Nice 4lb smallmouth....dont expect those much in creeks...lol...great vids...keep them coming😊

[@alpha-bodee4142]

Absolutely insane day of fishing man!! I'm from Kentucky! Great to see an extensive video on Kentucky. Thank you. Maybe I'll see you on the waters 🎣 happy fishing!!

[@Jaang29]

what a privilege to be able to do that under the rain @ 31:32 , looks like you sincerely enjoy and are relaxed . wish I could do that , priceless ! that's why I enjoy your videos, so real, it's like I'm doing it

[@nancyh9049]

I am not much of a commenter but that video was just captivating. And sometimes fish don't always make it but that is the exception and not the rule. Thank you for for the ride! Truly blessed.

[@fifedizzy4563]

Great video. Sure it was a fun homecoming. Looks a lot like our creeks (like Sugar Creek or Big Walnut) in west/central Indiana. Love the medium sized creeks on kayak. Gar sightings as well. we have a lot of Gar here as well.

[@petekeener8943]

A wonderful adventure! It's all up to God what dies and what doesn't.

[@waitaminute7257]

Nothing like being in the water near a lightning storm with graphite fishing rods 👍

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

What a fantastic video! The way you shot and shared the beginning was great!! I really enjoy your vids for many reasons…biggest are no yelling and making a scene, NO foul language and a scripture verse to wrap it up! (This one was extra perfect!) Thanks for sharing all of it!

[@Basket_Case_Basketry]

Man, it's really devastating when a fish dies like that. But it's just another part of fishing. You could just as easily have edited it out, but you chose to show it. Respect.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its disappointing but i wanted people to see it happens sometimes

[@christianshadow502]

You are the reason i bought a kayak this year and ive loved fishing from it!

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Continue to love and enjoy your content!! Glad you're with Family fishing with your roots Brother. I been watching your early videos, learning as I go!😊. Thanks again and God Bless 🙏

[@brianwatson3705]

Looks like a great creek for a catch/cook/camp kind of trip

[@heavenbound358]

John, ANYBODY that fish's has had that happen 🤔. It's no big deal. Part of fishing 🎣

[@Matayosfishing]

O my God dude that storm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love how your laughing during it man we GOT to float together that looks insaneeeeee LOVE it!!!!!! That looks like one amazing float qnd ot screams I'm in Kentucky with those pop up storms🤣

[@marthamitchell9452]

Hey I heard there is a big recall on Dodge Ram trucks, you might want to check on that. What a great trip. Great fishing, rain was okay, but the lightning could have been skipped. Went out on a high Cascades lake in and had just started across when the lightning started. Let’s see, metal boat, graphite rods, lightning every few minutes, nah, we are going back.

[@joshbooher]

Love the beginning with the music! Absolutely stunning area 💯

[@sed6]

Only thing better than fishing is watching John fish!

[@KFKxBuKShoT]

So much good fishing around BG. Love spending time on Drakes and Green both.

[@bryantdodd6636]

I live in Franklin Kentucky about 2 minutes from drakes creek crazy what I catch out of that little creek

[@KFKxBuKShoT]

@@bryantdodd6636 I’m a BG native and have floated/ waded Drake’s and the Geeen river tons. So many good memories. They’ve got a little bit of everything.

[@backwoodsbassmen6831]

Live in edmonson county would love to meet some people to get together and float and fish with

[@scottfrey2710]

Oh my gosh, John! ROFL at the verse you put at the end!! NICE!! Now excuse me, but I gotta go back to ROFL-ing again!! :-)

[@johnwhite993]

That was a epic trip. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@patrickhartman6818]

The first thing i want to say is, how the heck did someone get John Dalton out of bed well before light. Thats a miracle in itself. LOL

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

What a man will do for fishing!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i dont usually like to but this day was definitely worth it

[@mikeboyce584]

You're old kentucky you're old kentucky home You're gonna have to get back to her more often. What a fantastic trip and fish. When you get excited so do we.

[@lesterreaper9696]

Great stuff as always John

[@jeffnelson9420]

Get'er done!!! Stay safe and have a Blessed Day!!!

[@borisdoore1041]

Great video John and a true creek adventure !!! Loved it , thanks for sharing 🎣🙂

[@dennistidwell7188]

Home is where the heart is. Awesome trip....

[@user-jn2wx7db1c]

Yours are the best fishing videos. Your personality is a guy’s guy.

[@bigsimms75]

This was one of the best ones yet. Thanks for all you do, God bless!

[@zackareyfox2516]

Wow what an adventure glad y’all are safe. 🙌

[@letsgofishing4904]

Great experiences shared with friends with stories to reflect on. Some of my best trips evolved a storm rolling in. Nice video!

[@DyrtWalker]

Great day on the water.

[@hilljackoutdoors2808]

WOW... What a great video. Y'all had a great day fishing, and then watching Y'all paddle in during the storm was fun as well. Great job John!!!!!!

[@brianathern9154]

Awesome video brother. Smallies were active before the monsoon hit and you got to hang out and fish with old friends. Hey warn them folks I'll be invading that area from the north next week. ⚠️ Great witness also John, thank you for being yourself.

[@bustinfins]

Always a lot of fun spending time on the water with good friends and on top of that sharing a lasting memory of the stormy fishing trip. It’ll probably be talked about when ever you get together with those guys in the future. Loved the video! God bless you!

[@steveburlingame1935]

Awesome video glad ur safe its surprising fishing before a storm how good the bite can be

[@tomritter493]

Great passage from the good book to fit the ending .nice fish came out of there John 😊

[@stevehogan8829]

Good video John. No one is more sorry than the fishereman. As hard as we try to not kill fish, it's still gonna happen. Those are the only ones I eat these days. IF you were in KY, anytime this month, that rain had to feel great. Been hot hot hot.

[@user-jn2wx7db1c]

“Guy’s guy?” Yeah, a good guy, friend, buddy, etc.

[@nway37849]

If you don’t get caught in a thunderstorm fishing in the summer are you really fishing?

[@garyspangler5546]

Continue while you're young. I absolutely love watching your videos.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Lol that storm got intense quick.

[@mikeadair4793]

As always, God bless your adventures in his name.

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Probably the most exciting video that I've seen on your channel, it had everything. Good job John! 😎🎣🎥🏆

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great video as always! You rock my friend! Really enjoy watching you out there on the water doing your thing. Sorry you got caught in that storm! It didn't sound very good. You had some nice catches. Keep up the good work! And as always, #CreekFishingAdventures rocks!!!

[@zTheBigFishz]

A great fishing video...

[@byronspencer8101]

Great fishing!

[@bobgibbs4105]

That was definitely an adventure on the water!

[@scottcraft1000]

I'm 30 minutes away from you in Somerset Kentucky, man I can show you some creeks from heaven lol

[@charliemcallister3072]

I know you like the raised seat open style fishing kayaks but on a river like this it seems like the Old Town Loon fishing Kayak would be safer and drier. It is a sit in kayak and you should have been able to go down most of those rapids. Right now I am fishing out of an old Dagger Crossover which is a cross between a whitewater kayak and a river kayak. I am going to put rod holders on it and add an anchor.

[@ivanwesley8182]

Great choice of music, wonderful video 👍

[@jasonwain615]

This was an epic fishing trip!

[@davidburdette9411]

I bet out of all of your fishing trips, this one will never be forgotten. I enjoyed watching your adventure.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You got that right!

[@wesleycartwright2581]

That was Awesome 👏

[@Matador50]

Best one yet, Captain!

[@sunday8979]

Your intros and videos overall have really gotten better recently! I love how you’re incorporating musical transitions. Great job!

[@backwoodsrunner23]

Awesome Trip😊

[@AnAngryAngler]

Now that an Adventure to remember.

[@justinshannon814]

Beautiful creek and beautiful Smallies. I love catching them but they are smaller. Even they are fun. I caught an 18 incher years ago. Thankful I got a nice pic. It sucks that one of yours died. I'm glad you didn't edit it out. It sucks but it happens sometimes.

[@media1groupDC]

Kodak moment you boys will always remember! God got you through the storm!

[@maryannegreenslade78]

This was a great day of fishing minus the thunderstorm 🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@oldlifter530]

Thank you for the escape 🌅🤗👍🙋🇭🇲
