Creek Fishing Adventures= 🐐

[@MattsFishinMission]

Aint nothin better than braving the elements and it actually paying off!!

[@SCUMDOGFISHING]

👍 If y'all think John is a Creek Fishing JEDI MASTER 🤘

[@PuddleWalkersOutdoors]

You know I do!!

[@Itchin2Fish]

Way to grind it out in the rain brother. 11 place is awesome!

[@gregkerr725]

Just saw your bearded mug on an Arms Family Homestead video!

[@terrypbug]

Ikr and I just subscribed because of his video so far I'm ready to quit my job and hit the water lol

[@BASSnBEER]

John you are absolutely the man brotha!!

[@MrAmartin8]

Trusting soul you are leaving stuff in the bed of your truck unattended in Walmart parking lot .

[@richardmulligan2540]

My thoughts exactly

[@SK-zy6el]

Hello John, had you not caught any bass you still had better luck than the guy in the truck.

[@CW_Filmz]

Just got my first kayak can’t wait to get out there!

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

My heart was racing when that big one jumped right next to the boat

[@raineydayze5878]

Hey John, you are right it’s been a Rainy day all day here in Kodak Tnn

[@lesterreaper9696]

Hey John creek fishing isn’t bad

[@guyjackson4143]

Concerning the flat A, when you have a lure you have confidence in Always have three or four in your box. You would never take just one piece of plastic on the water.

[@qasimazeem2552]

YEEEES, has was literally watching your older videos, and I was hoping you would post today and my wish game true🙏

[@nugget4235]

I know exactly where you are at!!!!! Not going to say. Lol

[@randyblevins9489]

Wow, you're on one of my lakes now! So glad you came up to this tourney. I understand the rain, you must always watch for the storms! They blow up fast on that lake. lot's of good fishing there. Where you close to Sycamore Creek? Great content for this video, plus known territory! Love it !

[@nobody_asked6910]

It’s pouring here in Nashville and the Harpeth behind my neighborhood it’s flooded. Cant wait for the chocolate milk water to go down so I can get back out there!! 👊

[@thecreekcrawler]

WOW, only an inch kept you from placing in the top 10! That's insane! Congrats on the trophy and the first-place finish the weeks prior.

[@dannyhouseright1174]

Thats my home lake!

[@PuddleWalkersOutdoors]

Gotta dance with who brought you. As an avid creek romper I would've chose the same area. Great go at it with a solid finish. Ready for the next adventure!!

[@williamhastie5056]

Hey John. Great effort in the rain. You could totally handle Scottish weather. 👍🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@FishHookedFishing]

🔥🔥awesome stuff man! We’re looking to start doing videos on the kayak as well!

[@TheOutdoorsVlog]

Man I always like to see what you’re up. It’s great to see you doing these tournaments as well as the OG creek fishing! If you’re ever coming through Southern Indiana / Louisville Kentucky area with a little time, let me know and I’ll by your coffee. Tight lines‼️🎣

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Wooooo! Gotta have those 20 inches in the tournaments for sure. Still watching. You're having a great tournament man.

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

That rod holder beside your seat is awesome.

[@scottyhardwick5806]

Awesome video John! "Never doubt the crankbait " I absolutely agree.

[@mikewhidden5356]

You are not setting the hook hard enough snatch it brother!

[@stevedoty5841]

Good Evening... just watched you with Houston and Daniel. I think Houston needed a little casting help. LOL. That little creek they have neat. Like your channel

[@joannszuhay450]

Great video ‼️. Keep having fun as long as you can😁. Danial sent me from Arms Family.

[@benjaminsroka2151]

So much tough luck with them shaking the hook, man. Wow! What kind of line do you use fishing cranks/jigs? Are you straight florocarbon? Or braid to floro?

[@TimHaunFishing]

Man, I love your tournament videos. This weather, these results; that's been my last two tournaments almost exactly. I love fishing in the rain, hate filming in it.

[@vinmartinez3659]

Watching another one of your fishing shows. Good stuff. Living in Colorado Creek fishing is about trout. Enjoy this different. Fish

[@travisbruno1988]

I haven't watched any vids in a month in a half.. i love it there is like 15 of yours i will be watching today. Im glad your doing tournaments more very 😎. We appreciate the footage John. God Bless and how bout this verse Matt 4:18-19

[@steveterry7981]

I came across your channel from the Arms Family. I only live a short distance from you. Subscribed!

[@lynnstanton7018]

Im near Tupelo MS on a big private lake lots of fish. It needs fished. I have a 3 lb 11oz crappie on wall caught at my house. Come visit and fish a couple of days. Let me know

[@dougalexander7204]

I’m two month behind. New subscriber catching up. Tournament fishing on a new lake in the rain. You’re the epitome of a sportsman, an honest and hardworking fella.

[@joshkullerton7604]

Awesome day fishing. Thanks for the post. Just received my nikko hellgrammite order. Look to wet a line this weekend !

[@christopherrollins7910]

Have you tried calf killer and caney fork rivers in Sparta TN? Great fishing

[@PhotonChief]

Hey, I know you've got like everything else listed, but how do you like your lifejacketm

[@Crussman499]

Eddie 💰 in the background at the beginning. Plus I've also been fishing in the rain recently.

[@cecilhunter8820]

I always like watching. You are respectful and humble. I like the way you experiment with different baits places it's exactly what I would like to do. Keep the videos coming.

[@christopherwood2290]

John as far as sleeping in the truck you just stretch out on the back seats? Being 6'4" it must be tight. Is it less comfortable than you Suburban? At least in your truck with the cap you could stretch out. Of course that time you got soaked wasn't too much fun.

[@juliedavis3799]

Do you ever give any in person lessons and advice to those of us who keep trying and not successeding. My brother lives in Old Fort, TN and I'll be making trips to see my mom who is moving in with him.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Great video...You did great. Get ya a heavier action tip for the crawfish jig...and then cross that fish's eyes when ya set the hook. Have a Blessed Day.

[@TD402dd]

You need a heavy duty rod for bass. I've used boron, and graphite, and both will hang a hook in a big bass.

[@roberthall8110]

Fished Douglas my whole life. It's got about everything in it. Nice to see you win here.

[@billysimmons2887]

Hello mr. John this is your friend Billy Simmons again just wanted to thank you for the wonderful video I enjoyed watching you catch those nice Bass I don't want to hinder your fishing video but I would appreciate it if you would continue to pray for my family and I we certainly need it the Lord knows our need we are really in some dark times I sincerely appreciate it take care of yourself and I'll chat with you soon your friend Billy Simmons

[@tanapittsford5067]

You should go to Coburn PA, and fish at Coburn On The Creek, owned by my cousin Craig Shroyer. He has a cabin to stay in, and can guide you to big brown and rainbow trout.

[@zackcarter9596]

Just a tip check your hook and make sure they are sharp and not rolled over. Always bring a sharpener for your hooks. But I'm sure you already know that. Good video brother

[@peterschuenke4274]

Great video as always! It's funny watching you set the hook on a bass then watching your buddy ADUB set the hook. That guy looks like he going to yank the fish clear out of the water lol

[@timothyward4811]

Love your videos. Did you video winning tournament on Douglas lake? I can't find it?

[@michaelcox609]

Good job finding fish in the rain. Good finish. I like the tournament videos. Rip lips.

[@timberryhill658]

So funny I had the closed caption on and when you got the one next to the rocks it said music... I thought money! Great video John. God bless.

[@bowhunting1013]

That looks like your in Rutledge , another great video, keep em coming, god bless

[@rodsmith1576]

Great fishing Vid Brother, John ..... Tip on hauling your Yak with the seat up like that. Buddy of mine had some road debree hit his seat and bust a hole in it. We started strapping them in the down position I even take mine off each time and haul it in the truck.

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

7 minutes in, you should make a clip of that tail walk, title it, "Bass Ballet". Awesome fish, and what a rush you had!

[@nealvaliant603]

Little more time between thump n yank! GOD BLESS!

[@ricky7949]

Please keep a sharpening stone on you. they have a divit on both sides. just make 2 passes on both the outer part of the hook and 2 on the edge of the barb. you will stick more fish. Most people have no idea how fast hooks get dull being dropped or bounced around in trays and tackle boxes.

[@visscherlively3925]

Hey brother love your thrill it's really cool to see you having a great time two things to share with you from my many years of fishing that also included many Bass tournaments. The first thing is a "What is a sharp hook"? If your hook will dig into your fingernail it is sharp if it slides across put the hone to it.The second thing is that you might be setting the hook too quick that was the hardest thing for me to learn about worm fishing was to drop the rodtip for a second before setting the hook.

[@gregcoffey1974]

You where fishing in all my spots lol. I caught a 4.18 and a 4.54 lb in that one spot last fall.

[@stonemtnrubicon]

Morristown side near cedar hill boat dock...panther creek lots of big bass

[@lynnstanton7018]

Im from around knoxville retired from NPS here and stayed on lake

[@AustinGamingYouTube]

Best Fishing KZbinr on the whole site in my opinion. Love your videos man!

[@ActionMattGreen]

Such an amazing achievement. I hope for many more.

[@prestonrussell605]

Very scenic there, you missed some but still caught your limit ! It was a successful day even though it rained most of the day !

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

ADD side tip. A 20oz Gatorade bottle makes an awesome can cover in the rain. Just cut it a little below the neck where it levels out to the sides and slip it over the can.

[@flyslinger2]

Your hook sets are real short. You are not transferring enough energy to the hook to drive it home. I use 7.5 foot rods in my yak and make really big sweeping hook sets to make it permanent.

[@Barkley1835]

That oldtown kayak is really serving you well. Nice!

[@Cletus-so5gr]

i was just there last weekend! visiting some family in morristown

[@bmd1825]

It’s hard as heck to get a good hook set sitting down, I’ve done the same thing numerous times in my 2-man.

[@tomhines2877]

You need to set a lighter drag. I never heard your reel slip once. You can always tighten as needed. Worth a try all you can do is loose the fish.

[@nathangibbs711]

They are spawning lol .. thats why they have rub marks

[@MandoraExplorer242]

You were smacking those bass man!☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

[@TheKrisg50]

Bill Dance once said about fishing in the rain, “no matter how much it rains, the fish can’t get any wetter.” Looks fun to me.

[@Duewester]

1 minute in and its SNACKS! For later.👍

[@stevehammond2016]

Enjoyed this one . The one{s} that got away really had your rod bent there for a while but you still did well .

[@joshbrown9253]

Cherrokee lake is my favorite lake then douglas

[@ronaldfeltenstein8410]

I ALWAY PRAY BEFORE GONING FISHING. I PUT IT IN GOD'S HANDS.

[@marktarbet7774]

Better luck next tournament. To bad you lost your go to hard bait.

[@stanwebb3480]

Since you are in Kayak you are hesitating to set the hook hard... go over the basics and teach your self by watching your own videos!!! GO JOHN!!! STAN 1.1!!!!

[@joelghuggins]

Ditto, what Stan Webb says !! Plus a skirted jig has a much bigger hook. It requires a lot more speed and force to drive the hook home..When the fish eats the jig, let the fish have it a couple seconds, reel down (rod low as you can) and drive it home. KZbin a video about fishing a jig😁 you won’t regret it, and it’s way different than finesse hellgrammites, swim baits and ned rigs. Congrats on the big beautiful bucket mouth!!

[@davidsagastume3700]

You need casting gear, heavy rod. You need a heavy rod to set the jig hook.

[@MsKindaSorta]

Maybe backing off the drag a bit will help keep them on.

[@5rods5reels29]

If you had a baitcaster you could set the hook like a man. Lol

[@julyaugust4753]

Please do more front facing cameras like the old days.

[@2inHeartattack]

When the fish is about to surface drop your your in the water.

[@janedmonds4711]

I didn’t see any protein in that cart. Your going to end up with diabetes.

[@christopherwood2290]

15:51. That poor guys needs a winch.

[@UYAVAARABRAB]

You’re always stocking up on snacks

[@joshwhite8055]

You're living the dream John

[@toddlester8063]

I think that spinning rod is not stout enough to set the hook on that lure you kept loosing them on maybe?

[@tnoutdoors3820]

I fish that lake all the time! Great to see you cathing them!

[@kylesettle455]

Your videos just keep getting better and better

[@hilljackoutdoors2808]

Fun video... just slaying bass.

[@thenorthernclinchfieldrail1835]

You where near Rogersville TN.

[@TWC6724]

Was that cop trying to figure out what was going on with that truck in the water?

[@dougvaldivia3395]

sharp hooks and cross their eyes setting the hook may help

[@roypeavy3542]

Hardcore fishing in rain. Good catch.

[@RiverBanks-OzarkStoryteller]

It is fun watching you fish in the tournaments

[@frankcannella3442]

Fabulous channel, do you guide ?

[@justintaylor883]

What brand jig ? I like the looks of it

[@joshpearce9864]

Awesome video keep doing tournaments we love it
