Slaying BIG FISH in the Creek, Then The GAME WARDEN Showed Up...

[@MikeS-sc1yj]

Love the newer videos especially since you started to use a videographer so Cole has more time to just fish. Props to the new guy. One of the reasons I love your channel is Cole's pure love of fishing. You can hear it in his voice very time he hooks a big fish. It reminds me so much of fishing with my kids when they were young. Just the pure joy of feeling that lunker on the end of your line. I love it. Best wishes to Jay, Cy, and baby Summer Daisy.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

Love having Jacob on board to help film. He’s really talented and fun to have around on the water! There’s nothing I’d rather do in the outdoors than fish!

Just wanted to tell you both, too,that your videos are great because you watch and control your language on here!!!!…fantastic job again!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇

Northern AR has not gotten the rain as the rest of the state. AGF Officer was nice. I've had encounters several times and they were always pleasant. Enjoy your creek fishing trips and showing our beautiful state. Like that ypu have a videographer, especially for safety. Hope the family is doing well. You represent AR well.

[@chuckythedoll4815]

After growing up there, there is one thing I remember about these kind of bass, in these creeks. If you can catch them, you are a badass angler. They don't like to bite. And he's hammering them.

[@comiketiger]

Fun stuff! Those were some dandy smallmouths! Good job. God bless all here.

[@rkorsberg]

I loved the way you were releasing the big bass in today's video...like a true Sportsman.

Definitely a solid Smallie stream! Now the only way you can have a better day on the water. Is if you set up camp for the weekend and get up and do it again the next day!!

Back in the day before all the rafts the small mouth fishing on many small rivers was spectacular to find a special creek now with access and fish like your catching takes me back to those days of wading creeks in Missouri. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories.

I love your new videos. I learn alot of tips for my editing skills. You have so much enjoyment at fishing. I miss Jay out there. But I know she has her hands full. You guys are so great. I tell everyone about your channel. Stay safe out there.

[@johnroberts5602]

Creek fishing for smallmouth in NW Arkansas was my all time favorite type of fishing. A 2-3 lb smallmouth in current is just the best fight in the world. This is one of my favorite channels and I love that you're in moving water and probably near my home. Well done!!!

[@COLE_and_JAY]

It’s so fun and addicting. Always feels like the grass is going to be greener around each creek bend haha

[@rscholma]

I live in NWA and fish creeks whenever I can. I have the most fun with small buzzbaits in the eddies, pools, and even current. I make an 1/8th oz 4-prop buzz bait with just a paddle-tail (no skirt) that is a riot. Smallmouth love to destroy topwater at times. Great videos. Enjoyed my lunch that much more today.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

Love catching them on a small buzzbait and that’s how I like to rig them too. If I can get them to eat it, that’s what I’m gonna throw. Appreciate you watching!!!

[@timstephenson8752]

Do you use braid with fluorocarbon leader on you're spinning reels? Awesome creek fish video.

[@heavenbound358]

Smallmouth are not nearly as line sensitive as other fish. I used 10 and twelve pd. Test line for 40 years in the James and New rivers. Forty to fifty fish was a normal float days catch. Many of them over four pds. The fishing is not quite that good nowadays. Especially in the James. Really treasure those kind of fisheries because they can disappear OVERNIGHT it seems. That's what happened in the Upper James River

[@COLE_and_JAY]

Probably not up there! Haha y’all have the motherload. When the water gets slow and really clear here they do seem to get finicky and dropping down from 8lb to 6lb test fluoro leader has made a big difference for us those days!

[@heavenbound358]

@COLE_and_JAY THE James isn't that clear, for sure. The New River is fairly clear, but they are rivers, not creeks. That makes a lot of difference. But I've really never used less than 10pd. Test. Usually Trilene XT Because of the fast current and boulders.

[@wonderchild53]

Years ago while on the Nothern Delaware in Pennsylvania,, I caught one smallmouth as I was about to leave and took it home, it tasted like Trout. I say this because I don' see you using a stringer and yours are so much bigger than the one I caught...hahahaha

[@COLE_and_JAY]

I know they are good eating, but I don’t really like to drag fish around with me in the summertime when I’m doing these long creek walking missions. It also takes a long time for them to get big in these mountain creeks here in Arkansas so we prefer to release the big guys so they can continue to grow. I’ll catch and cook one some time when the timing is more appropriate. Maybe on an overnight float and camp trip!

[@GailYussum]

I enjoy the videos best with Jay in them. Since it is the Cole & Jay channel, why not let Jay fish and you watch the kids sometimes. Watching for you to catch and cook some fiah.

Cole & Jay maybe its controversial but it would be cool if you could show a map location of where your fishing. Not sure what the legalities are for something like that and obviously I know some spots are secret but for public waterways it would be cool to see where you are...but no big deal watching the video is fun enough.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

The last time I gave up a location, I received death threats so it’s really not in our best interest haha. Wish it wasn’t that way. And also, even though we don’t say where we are at, the areas we frequent the most get hit hard by angling pressure because of our videos.

The first time I got pulled over was by a game warden in the late '80's. I had taken my Sweetheart out to dinner (she's now my wife for almost 31 years) and we got pulled over because the color of my Toyota Tercel matched the color of a Toyota pickup that deer poachers were using.

Conway is fishing kind of tough right now with as hot as it has been. You could try fishing the pool below the dam from the bank and probably catch something, but I’d recommend wade fishing a creek somewhere. I haven’t checked it recently but the North Cadron on Hwy 65 might be the closest option
