[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

Ladies and gentlemen - HE HAS ARRIVED! :D

[@beccaastral8678]

Dang right!

[@Time-A-paradigm-shift]

AMEN! John I hope you realize win or lose, you put us all in the boat right there with you! That was so exciting!

[@brianathern9154]

You're a humble man brother. Not a bad finish, lots of folks would trade spots. I see always growing always learning and growth comes through adversity. Most of all you enjoy it to the glory of the Lord. The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us. You're there living it.

[@christiankell6074]

23RD is pretty darn good when your fishing against 1oo of the best anglers in TN.. ell done sir and you are only going to get better and better the more you do these type of events. God Bless and Go KATS!!!!!!

[@tonymcbroom5252]

Great job John! Although you didn't finish as high as you wanted, you were still in the hunt all day long both days. I hope you win the next one sir!

[@anelson925]

Always enjoy watching you compete in tournaments. Always brings a different level of excitement, sportsmanship, and energy to your videos. When you hooked the catfish I thought it was game, set, and match. Good luck on the next one! Also the basketball intro was hilarious and such a great way to kick it off.

[@stonedavies3976]

Yesss been waiting for this vid this guy is awesome such a great person and lives in the best place in the world wish you the best have a good one

[@ericharrison8950]

Great intro! Not sure if it was going to be a basketball video or a fishing video. In the top 30% so awesome! Over 70 people wished they'd caught what you caught! Thanks for the wholesome entertainment and fun - also keeps me motivated to go fishing!

[@MonkeysMom15]

That was FUN!!! Thanks for taking all of us tournament fishing with you. You are such a nice guy. You even felt sorry for an old messed up bass. Have fun at all of these tournaments, and get over feeling like you aren't as good as the top ten. Because YES YOU ARE. I seriously doubt that those guys would give us the watchers as much fun as we have along with you. Blessings and best wishes for a huge win on the next one.

[@williamboyd776]

Thnx for expensing the extra energy to make this video happen man I enjoyed goin witcha. N thnx for sharing The Word of our king with us. God bless

[@theghostscholar2067]

Enjoy these tournament vids so much. I follow 2 anglers 1. B LAT and 2. Creek fishing adventures. Keep up the great content brother.

[@cerebraltackle]

Congratulations! At my peak, I qualified for 12 consecutive B.A.S.S Federation Nation Top 6 State Championships. I understand that kayak fishing is a different beast altogether...nonetheless, competition is competition and that's your venue. So, congrats! Here's to many more!! 🍻👍

[@howardhodge3622]

Congratulations, glad you participated and placed. Keep at it!👍

[@prestonrussell605]

You did a good job and came in 23 out of about 100 anglers, that is a great accomplishment!

[@skydiver6711]

I never heard of a tournament starting at 11:00. But no matter when it starts, we are rooting for you.

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

John you did great i believe out of 100 people and you came in the top 25 wow congratulations on that. Thank you for sharing this with us sir. Just think how much better you will do next year. God bless you sir. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊

[@johnstevens3000]

Great tournament John! Very good to see the adjustments you made throughout it. Very glad to see you finish up on the creek! Ya gotta dance with the one that brought ya my friend!

[@mikeboyce584]

Your tenacity paid off for John you gave it your best shot That's all you can do Great video liked the 🦗 a lot 23rd out of 100 not bad at all I'd say good effort for that many people Many more to go! Just think we're at a couple of years ago now the Lord's blessed you and you do this for a living!

[@BASSnBEER]

Had a blast man!!! You always seem to find them!! Looking forward to the next one!!!!

[@upacreekfishin]

That fourth fish hit like tornado. Good job placing man. Well done.

[@JD-HALL]

Thanks John, for another fantastic adventure.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That's awesome beating all those other anglers in the top 20th out of 100, especially not knowing the area, I really like kayak tournaments being able to relocate if you want to!👍

[@dereksummers8598]

I watched the fish chase you in so long before you noticed. It scared the crap out of you when it jumped 😂

[@hiddenoutdooradventures5260]

Great video brother, my favorite part is the 2nd day when the bite was slow making the key change to that creek! Man they were stacked in that current! As a Angler I understand the commitment it takes to make a change like that especially when fishing a tournament. Once again great content thank you for your videos and dedication to record it all for us.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks

[@lindagsmith7846]

Congrats!! My uncle use to fish Watts Bar Dam, lots of stripers. Good luck 🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟 its no different than any other day, just do your usual good job🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@steveramey4229]

Great job John,you really came alive in the creek! Enjoyed the video.

[@anastaciolopez1434]

Awesome video Sir. Boy that catfish just had to get in on the video. Nice fish though. Next time, you will win next time.

[@blueboyhotwheelsandmore869]

22:00 aww man I was like yes he's got a 12lb , dang kitty, but fun fish to catch

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That catfish catch was awesome but unexpected 😳

[@michaelcox609]

Great job sir. That's a good finish for a major tournament. I know you always want to finish better but sometimes it's not in the cards. I've been there many times myself over my tournament career. You'll get them next time. Keep rippin lips.

[@davidnewton3064]

Congrats. You were 23th out of 97. For real though, I think you're better at what you do than you give yourself credit for.

[@MattLaClear]

Dude.

[@TimHaunFishing]

Lol, that intro had me chuckling pretty hard.

[@randyblevins9489]

Some good fish, some not so good.... for the tournament !! I like when you are fishing for pleasure.... or for us ( videos ). Tournaments put too much pressure on Ol' John. LOL. hope you can get back to Creek Fishing Adventures soon. RKB

[@patrickhartman6818]

John Thank you so much for a longer video. Seems like alot of channels want to do about 8 minutes

[@richarddorsch7275]

Looks like a really nice place to fish a tournament. Have fun!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Smores would have been perfect 👌 😍 with that fire 🔥

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Congratulations on your finish man. Job well done!

[@rocklanderoffroad]

Hey man CONGRATS! You got invited which is something and till finished in the top 1/4!!

[@reellifefamilyfishing2596]

Need to get you a simple fish finder put on the yak. I got a cheap $150 one and it changes everything! Awesome job. I would be stoked to get placed that high. I’ve never done a tourney before.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah youre right

[@truman9919]

Right thru my birthplace good ole spring city, next time swing by piney and do some good trout fishing

[@KALZONE850]

36:15 well said lol. great content man! keep it up

[@oldmcdonald3376]

watts bar is not a very good fishing.it used to be,but imo when they introduced the hybrid to control the shad they created a monster. fishing has not been the same. they introduced the florida bass a few years ago like they did in the chick, but it hasnt paid off yet. if ppl remember ,the bassmaster used to hold the classic at chick in the seventies, but the fishing got so bad they quit coming. it wasnt the only reason, but it was one. now the chick is great . we are hoping for similiar results on the bar

[@KappelleOutdoors]

Not gonna lie that basketball scene had me rolling

[@cod_casey_yt5744]

I was a fishing for crappie yesterday and the only thing I could catch was just bass lol it was crazy I had the smallest jig with a Bobby garland and a bobber and man them bass made that 2lb test run for it's money

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Rough looking fish 🐟 😕 😬 for sure buddy

[@donnie2533]

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

[@stevefisher2121]

Man, I just found your channel and I love it!!!! I gotta say that you and that Yum Dinger - what is up with that??? That would be the last color I would ever buy but obviously it works and works well - so well that I just ordered a couple packs of them!!!!

[@louiejordan7625]

Good job bud!one day you be winning tournaments left and rite and ill say see there's John I've known him since he was just getting started!lol

[@PhotonChief]

Hahaha, I appreciated the extra dribble in the intro.

[@dereksummers8598]

Let’s fish go, Says “let’s make sure I got the photo” 🤔

[@tmharshman]

I’m surprised you don’t have a fish finder yet, definitely helps on the lakes, probably gotta have one to crack top 10 in a group like that - won’t so much help on creeks but a lot of information can be gathered even with a simple graph -

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Always look forward to your videos!

[@kurtfredregill3324]

Nice scenery did a good job just rough catching the big ones great. Job

[@oldmcdonald9582]

i live on watts bar john. seems its always slow . major league fishing is coming in 2022. i just hope there are enuff fish for everybody.. lol

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats going to be a lot of people out fishing

[@outspazzed]

best intro ever

[@mikemelton7562]

Great job John!

[@rossmc9957]

WOW! What a shot.

[@themagicdragon1964]

Is it legal to get out of the kayak and fish from the shore or wading while fishing during a kayak tournament? Not sure if it's a known rule or if each tournament has that listed in the rules. Was wondering for myself too. I've never done it before, but noticed you do it a lot so I thought you might know. Thanks.

[@Fishingpimp]

John, Love your videos! I'm from BG, KY. Where's a good place to bank fish and what lures to use? Thanks!

[@dereksummers8598]

White bass on a hellgrammite. 🤔 I would’ve never thought that

[@blueboyhotwheelsandmore869]

I'm wondering if leeches are hurting the fish, somethings draining the life out of those fish, but they want to feed so that's a good sign, looks like your doing good

[@mikec8123]

Really enjoy watching you catch fish. I'm confused. Was this a Kayak tournament and if so wouldn't you have to be in a kayak for the caught fish to count?

[@B..C..]

I believe it counts as long as your tethered to the yak!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

No don’t have to be in the kayak for this tournament. As long as you are next to it

[@mikec8123]

@@B..C.. Cool

[@butlerproman]

@@CreekFishingAdventures So you could have brought a bass boat and fished from it, so long as you brought a kayak with? LOL.

[@thomaskitlica5572]

Love the show but just curious why you don't try bigger baits once you limit out??

[@blueboyhotwheelsandmore869]

25:42 nice John good job

[@donaldtruster1064]

Great effort! Good tournament, result! Stay after it ! God is good, all the time!

[@ExplorishingAdventures]

New bump board....gotta get you a new sticker. Should have said something while you were here!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

haha, oh yeah i broke the old one in half

[@ExplorishingAdventures]

@@CreekFishingAdventures That’s not good!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Sweet basketball 🏀 skills!! Hahaha!

[@oldmcdonald3376]

i live on watts bar and what im seeing concerns me . i dont know if its lakewide or just local. i hope twra is on top of it

[@patbarrett4437]

Thank you for your video. You done very well

[@user-mj6lap17]

Hi, wishing you all the best, I really hope you win this time.🤞

[@ryanlinder1973]

Congrats on your placing!

[@reelfishin6019]

We need to go fishing this next year, if your up to it? I'm also curious about the light you have on the back camera of your kayak could you send me a link to that? Finally I love how you edit your videos kudos to you and God Bless.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes for sure, i just found on amazon i think, search gopro light

[@sharonsmith3539]

Awesome, love your videos!

[@BB-bv6uq]

Another great video though. No bull way it happened fished hard and did ok..👍✌️ thanks for sharing

[@donaldthomas6520]

Really cool video brother see you on the next one

[@TD402dd]

You tend to go to what you know. Big fish are in the main lake.

[@ronaldfeltenstein3601]

HAVE FAITH YOU ARE A WINNER AS ONE OF HIS CHILD.

[@charternicholson9495]

Nice job and fun day!

[@jlibertyparks8160]

The biggest bass I have caught have been in streams. I truly believe that for whatever reason all the bass leave the lakes and head for the streams. When I go to the lake first and get no bites I will move to the streams and sure enough there they are. I’ve also seen the opposite. Anyone know why?

[@hornshwagel5700]

Creek king 👑

[@StonerCreek74]

If you were fishing in the area of a ramp where they do weigh ins, tournaments, catch releases, that would explain the poor quality fish early on.

[@user-mj6lap17]

Oh I love your shirt 🤩

[@travisexum3553]

Hey John, you rig that yum dinger weightless Texas?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes thats how i like it most of the time

[@MattLaClear]

Haha, nice intro. Next time do a James Worthy tomahawk slam. 😀

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Haha. I wish I could

[@MattLaClear]

Nerf hoops still rock.

[@leemowers9395]

At least when you finished, you were not too far from home.

[@PanteuChannel]

Luar biasa.. Good job bro👍

[@charlesbrowder8416]

Good job the bite was tough but you made happen 23rd out of 100 👍

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah it was rough most of the day

[@CoyoteRidge]

It's that power plant man

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Great intro!

[@Benjamin-uf5cw]

6:55 not the dawgs😂

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Yeah we can't hop out and wade fish like that at all. Kayak only.

[@oldmcdonald9582]

i dont like fishimg in the dark cause im afraid something will get in the boat with me and i wont see it. especially in a kayak
