Tennessee CREEK Fishing for GIANT Smallmouth Bass

NEW CFA STORE creekfishingadventures.store/ This is probably my favorite video that i have been able to make. Such a fun amazing day fishing a creek in middle Tennessee. The water was clear and beautiful looking. The fish were not really hitting moving lures but were tucked into the deeper pools in the current. Getting the lure to sit in front of them was what seemed to be working. Caught several really nice bass and one that had to be right at 20 inches. I love fishing and exploring creeks like this, it's amazing to see how much healthy good sized fish there can be in a creek out in the country. I hope to be able to keep fishing these kind of places and get even bigger fish, buti always enjoy everything that bites.

So many fishing channels show people with expensive boats in exotic, expensive locations. Thank you for providing a channel that celebrates fishing on a budget.

[@MeagainIA2011]

I'm 61 y/o, and wading barefooted in streams like that will always be in my top 10 favorite memories.

I appreciate you doing these videos. I'm comfortable letting my family watch without hearing needless profanity. Thank you sir.

[@albertb2415]

Agreed!

[@ronaldshank7589]

You mentioned the subject of profanity. I agree with you wholeheartedly! There's a guy on KZbin that claims to be a Christian, but sometimes he blasphemes so much, that I know that he ain't walkin' the walk! I won't say his name, but he lives in Texas, and he predominantly fishes for Crappie. I actually unsubscribed from his channel earlier this year, but went back to his channel, and re-subscribed. If I hear even one more blasphemy outta his mouth, though, I'm unsubscribing again, and this time, I'm making it permanent!

I won't mention his name, but you stay at it with these videos, while he only puts out one once in awhile.

Watching your channel is one of the things I look forward to each day. Everybody has a role to play during this difficult time for our country. One of the things you do is help people relax. I can fish anytime I want to, but some days, I just feel like coming home after work and watching one of your videos. After what all we see and hear on the news etc, it’s such a nice blessing to just relax , sit in my recliner and watch you fish man ! Keep up the work man! Thank you for your role in helping us have some peace in the day! We appreciate you !

I went creek fishing today too! I’ve been subscribed to your channel for about 2 years now (I think). I grew up fishing in Florida, moved to Lynchburg, VA in the mountains and gave up fishing for several years. Your channel helped inspire me and now I creek fish all the time. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your adventures! Loved this video!

[@68weebee]

I enjoy watching smallmouth bass fishing videos. And your bible verses are a blessing. Thank you for that. You and Fishing with Nordbye are awesome fishing show.

[@ultralightcreekfreak8877]

That's why we fish creeks! I bet you that brute has never seen a lure before Great fish! Also bro, do NOT give any attention to anyone who are giving criticism to what you're doing, you're doing everything right. And they ARE giants, you don't need to say "well, not giant by some people's standards", because the quality size of the fish is represented by how big the water is! Keep 'em coming man. People catch 10 lb largemouth in private ponds, people catch 5lb small mouth in lakes But that's a whole different skill set then exploring and finding these big fish. I bet either one of us could outfish a lake fisherman on these creeks/rivers, and vice versa!

This is the best. I just discovered you after getting into 618 fishing and you're awesome dude! Love the footage and especially your style in locating these amazing creeks. I travel to Lake of The Ozarks, Missouri to fish from Illinois but I bet if I started hitting those creeks under some of those overpasses and such like you, I'd be one lucky man. I've only seen a few of your newer videos and I am extremely satisfied with how you do the whole damn thing, period. You're an honest man and right now, I think we can all agree that is a good trait to hold. Keep on doing what you love brother and all of you as well who take time out of your day to read this.

Agreed. I'm a little jealous, but you'd be a fool to disclose all your best fishing spots. Everybody and his brother-in-law would swoop down and ruin it. I've had to work hard this spring to find spots and obtain written permissions. Surprisingly, not every land owner is all gung ho about letting people on their property. Go figure. Thank you, sincerely, for all the fascinating content. Very much appreciate you. Best sub I ever did.
