The Trip of a Lifetime...

This was an incredible trip that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life!! Going up to Virginia and fishing waters I had no idea what it was going to look like or even know what I was going to catch. I was so glad I got the opportunity to enjoy this trip with Josh ‪@BASSnBEER‬ and Drew ‪@RiverBasserDrew‬ at the beautiful ‪@wesleyhodgesflyfishing8470‬ location.

[@BlueRidgeMusky]

It was great meeting you guys and helping out with that musky! Great video and great channel!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

man i appreciated the help so much

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

really cool to hear several people in the comments know who you are

[@raleighthomas3079]

Thank You for being nice guys and helping out someone in need! From Fla. and retiring soon with fishing road trips on the mind. If I get up that way I will look you up for a Musky trip! God Bless!

[@scottfrey2710]

Wow!! Can't say anything but that, John! Nice going! The Muskie was great, but it also shows all you went through before hand, with fishing a tough stretch with high, fast water and no hits..Then leaving to try another spot that was equally as high & fast with wind and cold.....But you persevered and were rewarded nicely! It does show fishing can make you work long and hard a lot of times before you get that big one! (Altho I can't beleive how many Muskies you have gotten on the Hellgramite without any steel leader!! HOW???! :-)

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it was crazy, the next day i was using the big nikko hellgrammite and had a musky bite it clean off right in front of me

[@heavenbound358]

WAY TO GO, JOHN!!! WHOA!! THATS A HOSS. I went out with those guys years ago.( Blue Ridge guide service)

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oh thats neat

[@dougalexander7204]

That country looks spectacular, although it’s hard to think back to the days of the civil war. Men were camped around those streams using carved lead bullets for sinkers and hopefully having a decent meal. Much respect and thank you for the content.

[@heavenbound358]

I'm very proud of these VA. Waters. Spent my life fishing them

[@Parkersgrow31319]

We have plenty more good rivers around also. Thanks for sharing our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains 👊🏿❤️

[@randyblevins9489]

WOW ! Just WOW !! What a "Muskie Adventure" ! Blessed ! Always stay safe. Randy B.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Thank you John for an amazing adventure, you are right about the timing God is never too late he's always on time, with that awesome catch of a musky & that boat showing up when you needed help to land it, & the most & biggest small mouth, you can see God looking after you keeping you safe, yesterday I ordered enough yum hellagramites to get free shipping & used your discount code cannot wait to use them, those muskies I believe like bright colors, again congrats man on this adventure!🎣👍

[@dougzirkle5951]

Hey John! Man, you were forty minutes from my house. I’ve floated that same stretch, but never caught a musky or smallie of the size you landed! What a wonderful & rewarding adventure! Craigs Creek enters the James just above Eagle Rock. I’ve seen HUGE musky in Craigs Creek. Glad you had a successful trip.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oh thats cool

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

How awesome that those guys came by!!!! Wow!!! And the data. Wow that's so awesome.

[@vincentengongoro2705]

As usual John, you don't fail to entertain us.. Awesome trip bud..

[@haroldlester8581]

A citation musky and smallmouth in the same day!! Very nice!!!

[@jonathanmmster]

What a great bass! I caught my first 20 inch Smallmouth last week, trying to earn a spot on team Creek in the Knuklhed series! Also on James river, near Lynchburg, VA.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

dude way to go

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Congratulations John on both your PBs awesome fish man. God bless you and your family and your friends...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

[@steveboggs9777]

What a way to set off a new adventure. You can't match that level of excitement. It was definitely a feather in your cap. Thanks to Blue Ridge for helping out. That most definitely made for an exciting video.

[@robertcardwell6019]

That was an awesome trip. Samuel was right on time with the net. James River is a jewel.

[@shephusted2714]

this is where you need anchor - this type of water - consider alternative ways to fish this faster water where there are oftentimes so many more fish - drag a couple of bricks or an appropriately sized rock on a environmentally friendly cotton rope so no big deal if you get snagged and have to cut it and start over - also consider trolling a heavier spinner in paddle through sections - as usual good content and banter and some really nice fish! keep exploring! #called it you should revisit this float late summer #covert ops

[@ronaldshank7589]

I was watching John fish, or at least trying to fish, but that was definitely some fast-moving water! I agree:He should have had some kind of an Anchor with him. Not sure if I would have wanted to be out on that. That just looks dangerous!

[@jeremyphillips7128]

Down in my neck of the woods!!! I hunt and fish down in that area!!! Great for both!!! Love watching your channel

[@keithblankenship5551]

that is awesome helping each other on the river...

[@raleighthomas3079]

Fantastic video and trip John! That country is so beautiful, I really appreciate the opportunity to see it in your scenery shots. That was a neat operation your friend has there, I’d love to come up and fish with them. God Bless, and congrats on the success with bass AND big Musky!

[@paddleon1]

Dang good video John. You’re in my neck of the woods. Floated Gala into Eagle rock today. Didn’t catch a Muskie or a 4.5# bass but did land a few smaller ones. Rock on brother!

[@sethroberts192]

Sooo happy to see you in my waters. I fish the James all of the time and got into kayak fishing because of your videos

[@JerryN856]

Wow! Awesome fishing and some awesome scenery. Thanks for sharing.

[@wbranches1]

Great fish and exciting water adventure.

[@agib1368]

Congratulations on the big muskie. Awesome video and what an amazing stream!!! I love watching your videos because of the knowledge and the Christian basing. That’s rare in today’s world and I love it. Thank you so much for your hard work my friend

[@865CreekAngling]

That 4 and a half pound smallie was insane! The Boom a nice musky on the bubble gum hellgy awesome video brother! Truly enjoy this one!

[@mikehogan3291]

Wow, that big fish pulled you all over that river 😂, great catch 👏 👍

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Trip to remember for sure 👍 I really really enjoyed this video 📹 Jon!!!

[@joekocher2604]

Awesome video!!! One of my favorite of yours so far. Great adventure, great views and people. Thank you for sharing!

[@holdfaster2000]

Dang! The ol hellgramite! I’ll always remember our loooooooooong day on the C river TN where you landed your first musky on a hellgramite. It was my birthday and I was 3 hrs late to my own party lol. What a long day.

[@kevinkelly6524]

Man, what a great example of sportsman helping each other. Love that❤️

[@jeffgardner1187]

Agreed !

[@gregstabryla9945]

What a day you had! Loved watching, just gotta get me some of that. Thanks 🙏.

[@brianathern9154]

That was a special trip brother. From good friends and hospitality to some scenic river trips. And finished up with a helping hand from the guide service. Blessings John

[@johnmorganjr769]

Love it bro. !! That's what's fun in the highlands, 🙏 🇺🇸 👍

[@matthewlindsey7717]

Another great video with some great catches your channel keeps getting better and better

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

[@GeorgeT6566]

I have been fishing with Drew before. He is super nice guy. I took some pic of him and Jackson kayak use one of them on there page. This was about 13 years ago.

[@williambenner701]

I am still blown away by you catching that Musky! Talk about an adventure!😮

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Wow that musky was awesome!!! And that smallmouth was amazing too!👍

[@ri-jm5tn]

Pure adventure for incredible fishing. It’s days like this that keeps us coming back for more!

[@micahgrim2597]

John, this video was so cool! Great turn around on the trip! I love the Bible verse, we just went through the songs of accent (psalm 120-134) over the last 8 months in my Sunday school class.

[@mikeboyce584]

Your videos are always so inviting John can't quit watching them beautiful country

[@HataKreataz]

Great video, congrats on landing that monster! Awesome the guys stopped to help as well, what a day for y'all!

[@DirtyCreekAnglerGang]

Great adventure. Congrats on that musky!

[@glennmeadows6892]

😂lol that shock of him seeing the pink Helgamite an saying it the way he said it was hilarious

[@garythomas6589]

John, I am so happy your channel is gaining subs and views, allowing you to take these great trips. I look forward to each new episode.

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great video! Really enjoyed going along on this one. You guys had some really nice catches. #CreekFishingAdventures rocks!

[@riverratfishing]

I live about 20 miles from the James and have never fished it. But after watching this, I will be on it soon. That small mouth was awesome.

[@calmedspirit]

So cool that you stopped by the bass pro in my hometown of Bristol! Love the video as always!

[@dbrockway84]

Calling the audible worked! Excellent video

[@prestonrussell605]

Jon it was beautiful where you were in this video. Enjoyed the content young man . Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[@jerryplesko9521]

[@randallmiller572]

[@papilloncycles3463]

[@Tony-450]

Glad to see you enjoy your trip to Virginia. My son's and I are subscribers and it would of been great to meet you and get a pic. Man I tell you one thing, no matter where you go, you catch' em. Stay blessed.

[@fishitmiddletennessee]

What a day! Looks amazing. You’ll have to hit that when the water isn’t so high.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

maybe next year i can try it again

[@ericwakeman6665]

Wow man very cool video definitely shows that ya gotta trust yer gut and keep going even when things look bleak a ray of sunshine can be just around the corner very cool!

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

Congragts slaying the beast! That was awesome 🤙🏻

[@questor_xl]

Such an awesome 2 days of fishing. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@JeremyMartin-xq7pb]

that looked like a fabulous day. Congratulations John. Looking forward to more of these.

[@pondfishingbros]

Your videos are the best to watch while eating dinner

[@dalet6250]

Congrats on a couple beautiful fish here in Virginia. And in the small world category, Captain Sam from Blue Ridge Musky used to be my neighbor years ago.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats so cool

[@williamboyd776]

Awesome video John. Thanks for sharin your adventure with us. God bless

[@roberthill1400]

You need to fish the Clinch river sometime. Very near Bristol. You’d love it!!

[@falcons5683]

What a great place God made!

[@raymundopelayo1]

Just an awesome catch, clearly a blessing. Brought you to some good people. Love watching these videos

[@codyreece7871]

I had the same opinion as that one dude, when you hooked the muskie you said you weren't sure if you want to land it, he said yes you do the same time i was thinking it. Awesome pictures you got to have taken of you with it

[@michaelfisher1311]

Awesome video! Love watching people landing their PB.

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

If you ever make to the Philly area I can get you on some really good fish. Everything from smallies to muskie and snakeheads to walleye. Sat I had a 18in brown trout in the Schuylkill. The river isn't stocked but some of the streams that dump into it are. They also will naturally reproduce in the river, which is what I believed this fish to be. It has the most amazing color.

[@ponton650]

I live about 5 minutes from the low water bridge. When the water temperature warms up a little more and the cfs is right it can be a fun creek to fish.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i really thought it was going to be warmer when we planned it 3 months before, still turned out fun

[@Rizghoul]

Awesome man' Craig creek and James are top notch fishing, roaring run is another great spot for native brook trout

[@waitaminute7257]

Great trip!!!

[@patrickboos1919]

It is the best video yet .Thank you.

[@robertwetherington3372]

Great team work and a magnificent fish

[@williamanderson1231]

Outstanding trip and video.

[@WTN_Outdoors]

What a trip! Great Fishing!

[@jeffgardner1187]

Good times ! That was a fine Musky you caught young man. 👍👍

[@ablev19]

That's a giant smallmouth for a creek! I've got a creek here in central Kentucky you should try.

[@jayhuber1744]

Your videos are always great, but this one ranks toward the top. Really enjoyed that one!

[@brentreynolds5381]

Amazing job! Amazing adventure.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Looks like SOMEBODY had an absolutely spectacular day of fishing, with the inclusion of your longest Smallmouth Bass (So far!), & Your biggest Muskie! You weren't even, I'm guessing, between 70-80 miles from where I live (Staunton, Virginia). Would like to get an opportunity to meet you, if I ever get the chance. If that doesn't happen, though, I'll just look forward to meeting you in Heaven, on some sweet day! Have a great evening, and God bless you and yours!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oh thats close

[@deltasafarishow]

Amazing trip, John. Awe inspiring.

[@RobertxJenks]

I hooked a musky while I was out in a float tube fishing for white bass in the back waters of Caeser creek lake in Ohio, it was somewhere around 38 inches that's how wide the float tube I had at the time was and it stretched from side to side I wore it out is the only way I landed it, had it out pf the water just long enough to get the hook out before it flipped and went back in, I was using a 3 inch pearl white twister tail grub, that day was calm and the white bass were biting like crazy before the musky came along

[@franklinhill3903]

Thks for coming to Virginia I live in Richmond. By the James River Virginia is for fish lovers

[@dennistidwell7188]

That's dreamscape brotha. Really impressive.....

[@papilloncycles3463]

Bank fishing yesterday Drew, and a couple came up in a Crescent Tandem!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

[@jboulderct]

What a trip! If you're ever up in New England, I'll float ya down one of our rivers!

[@Bdf3604]

That’s a big damn fish, a huge upgrade from your bluegill

[@nealtolbert2057]

[@blue-sc1se]

You visited my local Bass Pro on your way! Great day on fast water! What can't one catch on a helgramite?

[@davewarner1477]
