This is My Best Smallmouth Creek...

The video starts out in early march in Tennessee at one of the most beautiful streams I have ever been to. This place has never let me down and holds really nice smallmouth bass.

[@benrolison]

Great video, love the under water footage, the bubble gum yum dinger worked great today in the paluxy river

[@CedarCowboyOutdoors]

Beautiful waters

[@Shaqoneil81-ci7dr]

I wish that creek was in my backyard.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video

[@waterratlyle2590]

Man that was awesome video. The end fish kinda looked like a Buffalo or grass carp getting spooked.

[@CountryKirby.]

Somewhere in Tennessee sounds like a movie

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Awesome video man. Two parter. 👍👍

[@jimmycaperton8948]

Looks like a couple creeks in my area in south west Tn.

[@battlefieldoutdoors]

Ah we've been here before! That's between Kentucky and Georgia :D

[@mattbailey7049]

One day i will go find this creek. Someway. Somehow.

[@terryjames-py3zz]

Yeah buddy 😎

[@JimbobZ17]

I always try to fish a creek when it has a little color. Catch a lot more when you are wading or bank fishing.But as Richard Gene says go fishing when you can because it’s good for you.

[@michaellarkins6983]

Man I had the same thing happen. I tried the hellgrammites in deep pools at the end of runs. I tried a ned craw, a spinnerbait, a swim bait. Nothing worked. But I threw a wee rebel craw in a red type color through a ripping current and there they were. I justed started fishing for smallmouth. This was my 3rd ever, it was 19 inches and just over 3 pounds. Also caught a 1.5 pound one today.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats nice

[@The_Next_Cast]

That is a beautiful creek! Thanks for sharing!

[@dariuslambert8659]

That fish at the end looked like a buffalo.

[@LaMarrBrewster]

This might sound crazy...but I think I've seen a Bill Dance video where he fishes the same stretch of river.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

could have been, but it might have been in arkansas which have similar streams

[@terryjames-py3zz]

Looks familiar

[@johnwhite993]

No such thing as a bad day fishing… enjoying what God created for us to enjoy. Always enjoy your videos John.

[@ktulucalls]

The missed strike @14:00 honestly looks to me more like a trout than anything else. Could even be a catfish. Doesn't look like a musky based on the shape. And it doesn't quite look like a bass based on the color, though it could be a pale one.

[@terryjames-py3zz]

What is up😎

[@ExplorishingAdventures]

If I could frame through on that last fish I think I could ID it. But it looked almost most like a Grass Carp or Buffalo. At first I thought maybe Musky but the head shape isn’t right.

[@kericbrooks4214]

Grass carp is a good call, dunno if they have bowfin or snakehead in that lake but that seems like a possibility as well. My first thought was a sturgeon but I don’t know if they are as common back East as they are here on the west coast, the thrashing is what made me think sturgeon, also the tail almost looks forked in the last frame that it’s above the water, it’s not really clear enough to say for sure though, heck in one frame it looks like a stingray jumping but I sure hope those aren’t around

[@ExplorishingAdventures]

@@kericbrooks4214 Yeah, I think the odds of it being a stingray in Tennessee is pretty slim.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

probably was a carp

[@MsKindaSorta]

Mystery fish was a Small Muskie! The tail was big

[@markwybierala4936]

1 1/2 hours is about all my 'thritis is gonna take. Bless ya for getting out but even more, bless ya for being real.

[@user-ui8kq6mi8s]

That's a beautiful smallmouth bass

[@suburbanangling]

It's always nice when the fish start making their way into your favorite creeks . Hope you're doing well John

[@bricehenry1223]

I remember years ago I found a creek loaded with crappie but I got off work late fish for half an hour caught a dozen. Got off work early the next day planned on catching a limit. I could not believe it not a single fish in sight.

[@Arrigo_Outdoor_Adventures]

Great catch

[@justinpurvis5114]

I love your channel man! I've been using some the tips, techniques , and baits that you use. Since I live like 20 minutes from Tennessee, and I fish a lot creeks and rivers as well. I gotta say they work great. I really appreciate you sharing that info.

[@AaronHuntFishing]

That underwater darter footage was excellent! The smallie fishing has been tough in PA this year too. If that last fish was a bass, it truly was a monster! Looked HUGE!

[@roberthill1400]

Even when you’re not slaying the fish, I still love your videos more than any others!

[@bradenwebb3675]

Love your content man. Can't wait for the bass to start blowing up on top!

[@dougalexander7204]

“Somewhere in Tennessee… “. I see what you did there. ❤

[@waterratlyle2590]

Man that bait is going to kill once this weather changes fully.

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Nice bass. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your whole family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😀🙂

[@terryjames-py3zz]

It's a button clark

[@BrockandBrodytv]

What kind of braid do you use

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

usually jbraid

[@davidwilliams1805]

Sweet! Thanks for sharing!

[@bradrobole9475]

Do you usually list the gear somewhere - rod, reel, line?

[@maryannegreenslade78]

What an amazing bass fishing video John, that bass at the end of the video I'm sure the rest call him daddy!!

[@terryjames-py3zz]

Would like to meet

[@terryjames-py3zz]

You name

[@johnsfishingjourneys]

Another great video as always John. I like the way you adapted the hellgrammite as a top water bite. Great stuff man. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@scottfrey2710]

A 7 inch Rock Bass on a 4-1/2" Nikko??! Man, just what was that fish thinking trying swallow something over half its size !! Great video just for the laugh at that!! :-) Awesome underwater shots & music, too, John!!

[@scottmcnabney6879]

Can you please tell us your set up (rod,reel,line leaded)?

[@micahgrim2597]

That’s so cool getting too water action on the hellgrammite

[@samuelwarden6285]

Last year I was already catching smallies in a creek close to my house at the beginning of March. This year I've caught 2 since the year started. I think all the flooding has had an impact on them. Great vid as always John. 👊👍

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i have noticed certain streams change a lot like the deep holes and where fish live after big floods

[@jessejamesfishing]

@@CreekFishingAdventures same

[@jamesd7066]

Nice underwater footage.

[@raleighthomas3079]

Great video John, sometimes the fish just haven’t kicked into gear. Good job sticking it out. The underwater shots were REALLY cool! Could you do some footage of what the hellgramite looks like bumped along the bottom! THAT would be really interesting! God Bless and looking forward to your next adventure!

[@865CreekAngling]

I live over in pigeon Forge and man last week I caught some nice large and smallmouth now it’s cold again and yeah…😂 awesome video

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i will try when they get more active

[@ri-jm5tn]

I’ve found largemouth and smallies in crazy fast water this time of year. Great content as always, John.

[@MrOrangecrush357]

YUUHHH

[@ericrehm3997]

It's amazing how much I've changed over the years. From only live bait. To only mepps spinners. To only rApala original floaters to spinnerbaits then bring obsessed with lipless cranks . Googan ...now I'm on yum and booyah love jigs and the melee boo jigs...

[@sethchapman3435]

do you use seagar braid?

[@bobschlotterfishing2678]

I have come to the conclusion that some time in late November Aliens swoop down and take all the fish in my creeks here in Missouri and then bring them back in April some time. One day you can see fish everywhere the next there is not even a creek minnow to be found... And then all of a sudden out of nowhere there back...

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

has to be

[@terryjames-py3zz]

So easy ah

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

What the heck was that last fish?

[@dustinadams5448]

did the Creek have a big flood event? sure looks like it did..

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it definitely could have, i know that the deep holes changed from last year

[@5rods5reels29]

I just want you to know that you are one of my favorite youtubers

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks

[@s_moutdoors23]

What kind of fishing/life vest do you use while kayak fishing?

[@s_moutdoors23]

What is telegram? Is this for real?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i use old town or mustang

[@60BloodyChamp60]

Hot dang I think this is the first 1 of your videos I’ve found when it was new. It’s almost time to go here in Florida. Like next week almost. Can’t wait.

[@FishHookedFishing]

Really enjoyed this one! Tight lines from FishHooked 🔥

[@jessejamesfishing]

*Ayyyyyye Daniel Boone* was also "somewhere in Tennesse" lol nice video dude

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks

[@kevinzalac8945]

Honestly I’ve gotten so spoiled with river smallies that when I go for largemouth it’s like…that’s it? Thats all you got? I love both. But really. As the gen Z kids like to say: river small mouth are just ‘built different’

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Nice looking creek for sure know more will be there on different day. Thanks for Nikko code, going to try and free weight some larger hellgrammites, but will try topwater also once river settles and ground isn’t 🥶

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That creek looked really good, when you put camera in the water those fish looked like small mouth, at least you were able to catch a few for that amount of walking, that lake you were at those fish wanted a moving bait, you probably could have used a frog or a whopper plopper! I'm glad you were able to go & find some! Enjoyed it great video🎣

[@clovewins9951]

Hey, I was just wondering if you've tried Nikko leeches? If you have, are they any good?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes i have caught fish on them

[@randyblevins9489]

Talking about adrenaline rush, that last frame made me jump !! Top water will get here .........eventually ! Always be careful. Randy B.

[@ericharrison8950]

Went fishing this past weekend at a favorite pond rich in large mouth. In 2.5 hours just caught one 14 inch bass. Just still a little cold still I think? But enjoyable still! Nice scenery, especially the underwater!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its funny how you know they are there and still cant get them

[@brianathern9154]

Way to grind it out brother. I would agree with downsizing too. It certainly is that tough transition and we use rock bass as the barometer for fish activity. If they're not biting the smaller lures it's a grind trip for sure. Appreciate your explanations on what type of spots you were looking for in the creek to target. Blessings John

[@LeanneD4]

What rod and reel are you using?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

abu garcia revo reel and fenwick elite rod

[@YoKingpin]

I have been following you for a long time. I love your videos and appreciate your Faith connection to the sport we all find so much pleasure in. Question for you….what brand of hip waders are you wearing in this video?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

chota

[@cliffordfarley30]

Our steams won’t produce good fishing for another month or two.

[@kennythao9558]

What combo is that?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

abu garcia revo reel and fenwick bass elite rod

[@farhenheit628of1200]

Dang i gotta start recording my ice fishing trips here in MN

[@egg2507]

My biggest tip here is to downsize, they're transitioning and could be finicky so a small ned could slay em. Great video

[@missouribass9251]

What size reel is that?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

2500

[@OntheRealFishing]

What about these cold middle TN nights? Messing up the fishing mornings around here for sure. Way to get on a couple!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah now more cold nights for a while

[@OntheRealFishing]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Got to love these TN springs! Hit me up some time. Would love to meet up on one of your drives through.

[@jonathanmorrissey7748]

Hey get out of my creek!!

[@thecreekcrawler]

topwater XL hellgie is going to be a devastating presentation this year.. I believe what we saw at the end was a spooked sucker or carp?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it could have been a carp, i did see a few

[@ShooterQ]

"Lord, I've seen what you've done for Creek Fishing Adventures and I want THAT for ME!"

[@codyreece7871]

In another month to two months there will be way more bass there. That first fish he got definitely had to be a hybrid bc a spots mouth is not that big. If there are muskys in that lake that's sorta what it looked like to me.

[@SophisticatedBob]

Are you liking the hippie waders? Been thinking about getting a pair of those.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i really do, much simpler and easier than full waders

[@Tightt88]

I see you got that new Abu Revo X reel!

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Another great video. Have you tried fishing the helgramite on a split shot rig? Texas rig it and place a single, small split shot weight about a foot in front of it.

[@mkanyuh]

This is great advice...I will certainly give this a try....thanks!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

sounds good to try

[@henrygarrison1613]

Maybe use a tadpole or minnow imitating bait??

[@jbeckoutdoors8991]

1st! Love the vids keep em coming!

[@cheapbassfishing]

That was an awesome video topwater blow-ups at the end was priceless. I have a question for you brand PFD do you use?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i have an old town on and some manual inflatable Mustang

[@cheapbassfishing]

@@CreekFishingAdventures thank you looking for a good PFD the one you have looks like it's a good one

[@familiapescaymas]

like your videos bro

[@ericrehm3997]

I ordered the March/April bank and creek bag. When it comes I'm gonna take it out and see if I can get a fish with each lure. Would be a good video for you. Have you tried the yum helgamite yet?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes i have and caught fish on them

[@john-cm8yn]

Is the water still chilly down there? Some guy in a boat said it was 46 on his gauge in Indiana a couple days ago.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its been up and down

[@Paul.Casteel]

Thst was and bass

[@nickmcelroy2195]

What is your Rod and reel setup in this video?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it is a abu garcia revo reel and fenwick bass elite 7ft med rod

[@skydiver6711]

Was that a Nikko helgramite? I just bought my first Nikkos and have not had a chance to fish them yet. Can't wait for warmer weather.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes it was

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes it was

[@Paul.Casteel]

It's still winter

[@fishinnotcatchin]

How do you even find these creeks? Just word of mouth or what?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

every way possible, but what it comes down to is a lot of scouting

[@philliplatham4256]

[@jackhaus5238]

Don't seem like it

The video quality is getting to professional; status.
