The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of River Fishing For Smallmouth!

[@budgetedbrady]

It’s like the fish know you’re in a tournament! Way to keep yourself in the game and still landing some great fish. Tight lines and stay safe.

[@thecreekcrawler]

I swear they do man!! Loo

[@davidwilliams1805]

Way to hang in there and get refocused! You've got that never give up attitude! Good job finishing up 7th! Thank you for sharing!

[@thecreekcrawler]

It was a tough hill to climb mentally...the big smallies definitely turn a day around.

[@stevebrockway4738]

I cast a Whopper Plopper off up at Lake Erie last time up there. It came back to the shore where we were fishing from and I was able to grab it. 15 minutes of picking out the overrun though. Nice fish there at the end!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Got blessed with some good current!! Wish that were the case for me!! Thanks for watching Steve!

[@lowlifeangler]

Awesome video! Your bad fishing day is a normal fishing day for me. LoL I had a 17.5 shaped like a football back in May in Middle Harbor that flew off the board

[@thecreekcrawler]

I never want to experience that again...that fish would have single-handedly given me a few more spots up the leaderboard.

[@borisdoore1041]

Good to see you turn some tough turn of events into a positive outcome ! Great catches to finish up on !!! Thanks for sharing 🎣🙂

[@thecreekcrawler]

thank you!!! just keep casting!!

[@Kickinsomebass]

Way to keep positive after everything that happened to you on that fishing trip. I don’t know if I would have been able to. Keep up the great videos!

[@thecreekcrawler]

I thought I was gone after losing that trace...the silent anger lol

[@BUSHCRAFTY]

man that river has some good fish in it and you got a beauty

[@thecreekcrawler]

We are blessed with some solid smallmouth fishing around these parts!

[@bassclef251]

I felt the slient rage during the aggressive paddling at 3:49

[@thecreekcrawler]

I need to know how to handle my silent rage when this stuff happens.. it never seems to happen this bad when I’m fun fishing. Maybe I need to pump the intensity level down and just relax.

[@bernjwallace6877]

I’ve lost 2 of the trace swimbaits. One getting hung up and the other forgetting it at a pond. I found it’s just to be happy they’re only $25 and not $100. I’m gonna buy more soon probably just because they’re such good lures.

[@thecreekcrawler]

I hate losing them but you are right $25 isn't nothing compared to other swimbaits. PLus if you use my code you save a few bucks more lol

[@stevewilliams8193]

Amazing as always!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Appreciate it Steve! It didn’t feel to good after some mishaps.. but a few tank smallies turned my frown upside down for sure!

[@stevehering8069]

Thanks for another video on gmr. I met a friend of yours Sunday morning in Middletown and he just started his channel. I don't remember the name. Would you let me know his channel. I always enjoy your video buddy. Thanks

[@thecreekcrawler]

I grew up around here so I have a handful of buddies. What kayak did they have?

[@stevehering8069]

I'm sorry I didn't notice

[@spencerbarbour]

Nice video! What kind of line do you use for your bait-casters I can’t seem to find a fluorocarbon brand I like?

[@thecreekcrawler]

right now I am using FC Sniper 14lb. its pricey but holy smokes it feels good.

[@spencerbarbour]

@@thecreekcrawlerI’ll have to give it a go thanks man!!

[@tonpul321]

Awesome

[@thecreekcrawler]

appreciate it!

[@mikewitters]

Great video as always. I want to do the float from Franklin into Middletown but I can't figure out where to get out of the river at. Did you go all the way to the 122 bridge or get out somewhere around the route 4 bridge where you caught your last fish?

[@thecreekcrawler]

There are a few ways you can get out albeit a bit tough!

[@FishingWithDreel]

Is that the river that’s by Dayton Ohio?

[@thecreekcrawler]

It flows through Dayton yes! Over 150 miles total until it pushes into the Ohio river!

😎🤜🏻

[@markhamblin8195]

You talk like its a big tournament...lol...if i said what i want noone would believe it.....yall are easy money

[@thecreekcrawler]

Tournaments big or small they all carry the same pressure.. I would love for you to come out here and put your money where your mouth is, but we're stuck looking at your comments.

[@ThiccAmishMedia]

Love all your vids! If you need a fishing buddy hit me up. I'm in your area and have a kayak.

[@ThiccAmishMedia]

also kind of sad Vance doesn't offer a military discount but I love using yours lol

[@thecreekcrawler]

What kayak do you fish from!! We have some amazing fisheries around here!

[@ThiccAmishMedia]
