Kayak Overnight trip for BIG River Bass - Tennessee

[@dougalexander7204]

Thanks for taking me along.

[@stevenhamilton801]

Hey brother my son, my best buddy, he has autism but he absolutely loves your videos. I appreciate you, God bless!

[@zekefoonman2921]

That Large Mouth was phenomenal! That would have been my dinner - filleted and dipped in cornmeal batter and fried up in olive oil and a dash of seasoned salt on an open fire in a skillet pan.

[@pamark3688]

Wow- nice fish. Reminds me of being 40 years younger and floating down the Susquehanna for smallies on an overnight paddling trip with my buddies. Thanks for helping remember some great times.

[@DAsh-wi1zc]

A beautiful stream and ..... Fish ON! Yeah!

[@sdonovanp]

It amazes me at the amount of fish that hellgrammite catches..

[@austinmiller3497]

I tried out one of my hellgrammites at Tecumseh Lake on Father's Day i haven't had any success with it yet I will probably have success with it later down the road

[@hankarnold5947]

Same here. No luck with it yet

[@mrenfilade7178]

I got two packs of hellgys in the mail today -- never tried em before. Second cast I hooked up with a legal size, way back in his throat. Second fish swiped and missed my frog, so I threw a hellgy upstream in the rocks, landed him -- about the same size. Ended up breaking off on a rock, but it was worth $1 for two fish LOL. Definitely impressed with the material -- it's not like elaZtech -- it kind of gets this pearled slime-film on it after it's been in the water a while, so I just let them hold it in their mouth for two counts and got a full reel set on em, Gama 1/0 stinger buried back by the crushers. This might end up being the only bait I target brown bass with all summer, it's that good. It's a lot easier than trudging through the water, kicking up rocks, and seine netting for the real thing and works just as good! True believer, now.

[@Cletus-so5gr]

bass pro shops hellgrammite and nikko work really good anywhere... my dad caught 7 bass and a crappie all on the hellgrammite... i didn't even know hellgrammites were a thing til i started watching this channel haha

[@bowhunting1013]

Josiah Hartsell where I’m from we call them a grampus

[@christopherwood2290]

What could be better than this? Fishing with your friends, cook out, eating your catch, camping.

[@WaynJul]

Good to see you expanding your zone. Inspiring me to get back in my kayak fishing more. God bless.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks man, this was a really good day

[@gerald4133]

Looks like a great trip, hope you had a fantastic time a overnight! 🎣

[@andreareagan4518]

Kayak fishing is the best...overnight is hard core! And all those smallmouth! They are my fave to catch!

[@bullishbeartrader6121]

Some of the best fish; v seen you catch, always a blast watching you have one. The Lord is with you.

[@ActionMattGreen]

Dang ol home town boy. So glad I found your channel. I just got a kayak and cannot wait to get comfortable on it.

[@oldschoolpreacher25]

Its good to see good things happen to good people! Nice video!

[@Kast2Katch]

Good video! So glad to have you come down and fish with us. Can’t wait for the next trip!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Can't wait!

[@jimmieevans7175]

Good luck guys catch some big ones

[@mikec9606]

That looks like really good times even when you are catching big smallies. Have fun and keep reeling them in. That's on my bucket list to pack up the kayak and camp on a river bank.

[@dillandrews7687]

Those smaller Small Mouth change directions so fast,that what makes the fight so cool.

[@JupiterSkie]

AMEN! Wow! That rod has some good flex in it! Looks like a big fish is a bit awkward to land in a Kayak! Those were nice fish!!

[@trickytrav88]

You put me on that nikko hellgrammite kick my man and i cant stop buying them love the natural the most..your videos are the best i live in nj and the winter is tough tough tough ..god bless and keep on keeping on and fishing on.🐟🔥

[@kraigrasool2848]

Good to see my Creek Bear back in the kayak fishing his best!👍🤙🤗

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

That 3.7 large was a beauty!! TOAD! Great vid!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Ya out done yourself with this one!! Amazing! Thanks for bringing us along! Wow!

[@garrettsmith8704]

Wow what a trip.. monster smallies and a couple other species.. awesome video.. that hellgramite is a freakishly good lure.

[@WadeLife]

Lucky you with it being cloudy floated Cordell Hull about 3-4 miles then floated Cane Hallow to Burgess Falls yesterday both days sun blazing pretty much...☀️

[@billsemsrott3980]

Wow what a great day of river fishing, hope the next day turns out just as good.

[@kne2323]

That's one of those days when it all comes together! Enjoyed watching - some excellent TN bass!

[@drewsoutdoorreviews]

I agree with your logic. Keep using what’s been working. Great video and fun times!

[@rell517123]

thanks for another awesome fishing trip Sir 👍👍✌ enjoy watching you enjoy yourself 👍🎣 please continue to be careful & stay safe 👍👍✌

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@gregtheredneck1715]

Awesome trip. You might consider taping a paper measuring tape to your kayak paddle using clear packaging tape, it would save you from having to pack along the fish ruler and it would be right at hand if needed.

[@mikemiddlebrook416]

Wonderful video. Great fishing. That was a really fantastic trip. Thanks John. 😊

[@steveramey4229]

WOW what a great day of fishing on the rivah John,looks like so much fun! Can’t wait to see your next video.

[@timberryhill658]

Man what a day awesome views, good fish and friends. Can't wait till tomorrow. God bless.

[@gandhiflores7767]

This man deserves way more subscribers

[@damienheaton7571]

At work today, around 3pm, I thought to myself that its about time for a video from you. Get home from work at 5, and there is is. I would love to try kayak fishing. Great video

[@gregoryhunts3006]

Man that look's fun. I gotta get out on the Mississippi and try that. But I was born and raised in Milwaukee and I have caught some giant smallmouth and trout. I know great lake's fish are bigger but I've still found some nice spots in western Wisconsin that have some pretty big trout. Opening weekend I caught and released a 24.75in brown trout that I probably should have put on the wall and lost one that was all of 28in. Great video, those were some some nice fish you caught.

[@stevethecountrycook1227]

Man, you guys are killin me! Throw back the 2 lbs+ but the 1 to 2 are perfect eatin size! And there are tons of em! Would like to see a little catch and cook! But you do what you want. It's your trip! Fish on guys!

[@lt.pickles6383]

Best video yet. I do prefer the smallmouth sessions over the panfish sessions. More relatable to my waterways

[@bigbkeepitreelfishing]

Good healthy quality fish, great trip, great video. Boom fish on.

[@Hoggy1963]

Cool, kayaks, fishing, camping, friends.

[@MackinNC1]

Nice Float John, most rivers here still too high for good fishing.

[@charternicholson9495]

Nice one....You went back to the catch phrase early of "Fish on!"...thought you went away from it because I heard it on another show. Kayak fishing is awesome to watch and I never just feel like I would be good at it. Nice video

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i think its been around for a while

[@keithclayton494]

I find it amazing how camouflaged the smallies and trout are in the rivers. Nice catches and video! I’m gonna have to try that hellgrammite🤘🇺🇸🦅

[@darwinrussell8773]

instablaster.

[@mitchelldefrehn8071]

This guy always goes to the coolest places

[@henrycoleman5715]

Awesome video man river smallies on the hellgrammite are the best! It really does put in work when the bite gets tough they still eat it! 🤙🤙🤙

[@charlessessions7293]

Nice fish and beautiful river and scenery !! Bro John !! :)

[@lrparrish227]

Nice video! Great job fishing. thanks for sharing.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Great first day. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.

[@MrJerry1qa]

I brought some Hellgrammite baits because i Watch your videos. I have yet to catch a fish with them. That Said, the overnite fishing/camping trip looks like great fun. I would love to do that one day! Stay Blessed!

[@moo7662]

I love trout. Thats what I catch all the time. Me catching trout is like you catching bass. That trout u had hooked wouldve been awesome to catch.

[@randybarnes439]

This looks like an awesome adventure dude,beautiful river and those small mouth were nice, what am I saying all the fish were nice !!

[@bradbeam1951]

Love this video dude! Been watching like what I see definitely subscribed

[@maneumann2707]

Very, very nice video. Now, I want to praise you for downsizing the power of the rod. By doing so, I don't believe (as some are saying) that you're catching less fish. What I do believe I that you're giving the fish a chance for a big fight, and therefore increasing your fan/emotion. It is really nice to see the rod bending while the fish fights.

[@suburbanangling]

Love it fam . Those rivers in tennesee hold some nice fish . I gotta get down there eventually

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

come on man, hopefully i can get up there soon

[@keithatkins7883]

Sounds like a fun trip! You are definitely catching some nice fish!

[@bige5838]

Congratulations on a good day you tore the fish up enjoyed watching

[@austinmiller3497]

Great video you definitely are a master of the hellgrammite and a master of fishing I tried out my hellgrammites on Father's Day but I didn't have any success with them yet but I hope to later down the road

[@eaglespetty]

Epic trip and what a fishery!

[@theloneangler3320]

That Daiwa reel is sweet John.👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸

[@joshuawilson8182]

Awesome video due.🤙 I would have loved to see the first trout that came off. But man what an amazing day you had. Keep the vids coming. 👍👍

[@MPTX-be8qq]

With the size of those bass, bet you were wishing you were in one of the Tournaments. Guess you have me sold on the Hellgrammite. But only if they work that well in Texas.

[@Legallyblindoutdoors]

Those were some nice fish, those tree's will sneak up on you.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You got that right!

[@dustywilson787]

Your in my neck of the woods I have a good spot to put in in Blaine at Indian cave they are some big trout in that part of the river

[@austinbell5834]

Love the videos brother I’m in Indiana caught some really good smallies in the area 2.3 the best so far !!! Keep it up watch all the videos

[@gerald4133]

Really great 👍👍 fishin' doubt if those 🐟 fish ever seen pressure! Alright John 🎣

[@92sadventure71]

What ana amazing trip bro! Amazing action and beautiful river!

[@RidealongGang]

Great fishing... I've wanted to fish the holsten but have been able to yet

[@rolandpace3147]

What stretch is that of the Holston?

[@gwlane5509]

Great video! Did you all see any public areas to camp on that river? Would love to do that river for overnight but heard most land is private...nice spot you all were able to use...good video as always!!

[@skydiver6711]

You need to get with NDYak. He is a youtuber in North Dakota who fishes for Smallmouth in North Dakota and Minnesota. I love both your shows and the way you both fish. I would really enjoy a video of you guys fishing together.

[@DavidSmith-uz7sq]

Yep that's what I call fun!

[@garyschneider1782]

This is an incredible investment that didn’t break the bank. It’s very stable, in fact my 13 yr old daughter will sometimes stand in it and use it as a paddle board

[@gregvasquez5034]

Another great video . I was right there with you . Keep um coming .

[@jasonbarnes651]

I been wanting to do an overnight trip down the Holston. What were your put in and take out points and where did you all camp? I have done a 3 day 4 night trip from Norris Dam to Melton Hill dam before. It was amazing! Love the videos!!

[@joehall7869]

Great day. Good for you.

[@bowhunting1013]

Loved the video brother!! Can you show how your rig the helgromite? Thanks in advance

[@tedgaddy7398]

Hellow John, I watch all of your videos and enjoy them, have turned all my buddies onto your videos, thx for all the great watching, I have a question fir you, I live just south of Nashville, I’m not a young guy but still having fun, I’ve been riding off road for the last 51 years now, but love creek and river fishing, wade most afternoons in the spring, summer and fall, now to my question,me and some of my buddies would love to do a float ,fish, and camping trip, well really more than one, any advice would be appreciated and tennessee locations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, that’s keep up the great job

[@bpbassmanable]

Is that a log at 8:09 or a 5ft fish swimming by?

[@marias1930]

very nice place, the fish was probably delicious !

[@geemac7267]

Nice fish! Looks like a good river to kayak.

[@zgrfishing8712]

Looks like an absolute blast, neet to get my yak out

[@MarkWilliams-rp7nb]

Man what I'd give to be healthy enough to do that , awesome trip my friend.

[@ethanroseoutdoors4169]

Where did you guys put in at? I am going to kayak this but I want to know where to put in at. Thanks for the video!!

[@miguelangelsiller6314]

Love your channel , keep up the great creek adventures!

[@stevethebarber1]

Great video. More of these couldn’t hurt!

[@theone031]

Do you have a favorite rod? Abu Garcia, Lews, Ugly stick? I'd say my favorite as of now is my Berkley cherrywood graphite 7ft medium. I just keep throwing different spinning reels on it. Its hard to give that one up lol.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

shimano zodias 6-9 med is my favorite

[@easttnpatriot1009]

So where did you guys put in at..? Curious because I live in Kpt. Kayak camp myself but always on the lake.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@finn1728]

That’s my kind of fishing an camping 🚣🏻🎣🏕🌭🍔🔥👍🏼

[@tenncutt]

Just started the video, make it good! Looks like the beginning of an awesome trip!

[@dillandrews7687]

The Holston River is really beautiful it looks quite clear which always good.That 2.2 pounder you caught had great color.

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Awesome river trip! Some sweet bass you caught!!

[@MS-jc9sy]

Another great video, what a fun trip. Do helgrammites work in lakes or ponds? Not many streams or rivers near me

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i think better in flowing water but i caught a couple 4 lb smallmouth on them in lakes

[@MS-jc9sy]

@@CreekFishingAdventures I figured as much but I'll still try them out with my limited water options. Thanks! >~~·>

[@want2boutdoors274]

Killed it on that stretch.. good job

[@ShowMeCreeks]

Nice job. Those were some nice smallmouth.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@shephusted2714]

game day - good one to do a long float - bring extra batteries and mt dew

[@shephusted2714]

you are just out there for fun, you aren't really serious about catching the big ones - fairly accurate - of course you will still catch a good fish now and then but way less than if you were targeting #carnie #even god is doomed

[@vinhha3857]

Oh my ... I love Tennessee now... is any one feel hurt when he put a big fish back...??🤪🤪 .. I do lol... cuz I’m a fish hater.. that why I try to catch them, cook them and eattttt them.... . Another great vids Sir...

[@firefighter2699]

Thinking about moving to Tm from Co, and from everything I’ve seen I think I’m sold. (Have family in Bruceton, but I am looking at Knoxville)

[@Fishing864]

Hey sir I just want to tell you that because of you I now own a kayak a box of hellagmites lol u got me into kayak fishing an I love it ... I have went fishing every weekend sinse Christmas...I'm glad I found your channel....ps ima subscriber by the way!!!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

That is awesome!

[@jobrayborn6371]

I like that you add scripture to the end of your videos.

[@Kallivak]

I love the scripture at the end of your videos.

[@MountainMenOutdoors]

I love fishing the Holston River, great video!

[@rolandpace3147]

What stretch is this?

[@carll.freemanjr.9867]

What's that reel you're using on that medium light rod? I like the way it looks and performs and I'm interested in getting one.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

diawa LT 2500 i really like it
