Thanks for taking me along.

[@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.

[@stevenhamilton801]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@DAsh-wi1zc]

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

[@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

[@christopherwood2290]

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

[@gerald4133]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@bullishbeartrader6121]

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

[@dillandrews7687]

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

[@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.

[@andreareagan4518]

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

[@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

[@oldschoolpreacher25]

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

[@kne2323]

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

[@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 👍

[@jimmieevans7175]

Good luck guys catch some big ones

[@Forgive7x70times]

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!!

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

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

[@drewsoutdoorreviews]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@billsemsrott3980]

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

[@gandhiflores7767]

This man deserves way more subscribers

[@garrettsmith8704]

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

[@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.

[@Hoggy1963]

Cool, kayaks, fishing, camping, friends.

[@MackinNC1]

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

[@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!

[@mitchelldefrehn8071]

This guy always goes to the coolest places

[@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.🐟🔥

[@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

[@SgtBUSMC1039]

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

[@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

[@mikemiddlebrook416]

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

[@lt.pickles6383]

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

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

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

[@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]

[@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.

[@gregvasquez5034]

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

[@randybarnes439]

[@joehall7869]

Great day. Good for you.

[@theloneangler3320]

That Daiwa reel is sweet John.👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸

[@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! 🤙🤙🤙

[@markwilliams-c6h]

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

[@gerald4133]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 👍👍

[@geemac7267]

Nice fish! Looks like a good river to kayak.

[@ShowMeCreeks]

Nice job. Those were some nice smallmouth.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@zgrfishing8712]

[@stevethebarber1]

Great video. More of these couldn’t hurt!

[@miguelangelsiller6314]

Love your channel , keep up the great creek adventures!

[@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...

[@cmath4204]

What a great largemouth at 5:00!!

[@tomahawk5118]

I don’t understand how you’re not getting snagged time after time. Insane how many nice fish you catch.

[@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

[@mrenfilade7178]

@Creek Fishing Adventures -- best vid yet! +1 Like just for that fish at 9:07 What a trophy, good thing it's on the internet forever :) I've had that experience where those trophies don't swim off right away when you release them, they just sit there and look up at you, even though you didn't fight em for very long -- sometimes I almost think the big ones like the fight, too, and are still lingering there, admiring their fisherman they just caught! That, or they're sulking down there just pissed the F off! :)

[@want2boutdoors274]

Killed it on that stretch.. good job

[@IsemanCRE]

you killed it this video

[@TimHaunFishing]

I don't even know what to say on this one. Just so glad you get to have these experiences of a lifetime and entertain us all doing it. God bless you man. Keep doing what you do.

[@jobrayborn6371]

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

[@missouribackwoodsadventures]

The way you say "duuuude" kills me 😂

[@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]

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@MountainMenOutdoors]

I love fishing the Holston River, great video!

[@rolandpace3147]

[@elritroid1617]

BASS BUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE

[@austinbell5834]

[@swarpin_on_donks]

Good video John!

[@BASSnBEER]

Cant wait for another one man, had an absolute blast!!! Next time I'll make sure to stick around a little more so I can learn how to catch them 😂

[@Kast2Katch]

Absolutely blasted off and left us to catch the fish!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

definitely going to have to do another one again soon

[@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

[@johnharder5618]

Great looking river to fish

[@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

[@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.

[@RidealongGang]

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

[@rolandpace3147]

What stretch is that of the Holston?

[@charlesbrowder8416]

Man your wearing them out awesome trip

[@Trish9290]
