THIS WAS CLOSE!! Kayak Tourney Watts Bar Lake

[@roberthill1400]

Good to see the old John back. Mt. Dew and Doritos! The snack of champions!

[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

DIABEETUS!

[@richarddorsch7275]

I just have to tell you that since I found your channel I have a totally different outlook on fishing. I used to think that one needed a big expensive boat full of electronics in order to catch the biggest fish. Well not anymore, I now enjoy the little ponds and streams while catching any specie and any size fish. Thank you and don’t change a thing. Your enthusiasm is pure honest.

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Congratulations on 5th place John thats doing great man and I hope you win the next one in two weeks John. God bless you sir. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊

[@andrew_brent]

Snacks are the most important thing in a fishing tournament 👍

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Absolutely

[@fourwheelerandfishing3669]

Lure also

[@erwinaddison2030]

Put a dorrito on a hook see what hits it😁😁

[@christiankell6074]

That was a pretty good showing John and it was even a tough day of fishing but you are destined for something greater. Your channel will continue to grow and so will your confidence in these tournaments the more you put yourself out there. Your just an outstanding man of God and your doing a great job spreading the word, as well as helping people when things are tough with the shear entertainment your videos bring. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!

[@turkeybird7679]

I'm sure it comes from TONS of practice, but I noticed your casting kills are spot on my friend. You can tell you love your sport all the way from your skills to your gear.

[@akknight1971]

Congrats. Get that top three at the state tourny. Keep up the awesome videos. Our Lord takes care of his faithful.

[@brianathern9154]

Great job brother. 5th place is still pretty darn good. The few you caught anybody would be grateful to hook into. Blessings man keep fishing

[@mikeboyce584]

I got a feeling you're going to do better in the state tournament I would say good luck but I think I'll say a prayer God bless you John keep me motivated to fish

[@Philc231]

Our lake fishing s coming to an end. Tons of good peach lately ,and some monster rock bass.

[@gloryboundoutdoors974]

You got me pumped John! I finally found a kayak and bought it! Old Town kayaks are impossible to get right now so I had to order from halfway across the country. Got a new Salty PDL 120 coming. I can not wait to get out on it! Those missed hook sets are heartbreaking for sure. Another quality video from my favorite KZbinr. 👌

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oh you will love that

[@gloryboundoutdoors974]

@@CreekFishingAdventures hope so. Im a pretty big guy 6'2 and 240. Its a little smaller that your kayak so it might not be as stable. Supposed to be very fast and nimble though. Plan on getting together with Derrek and catch some of those guadalupe bass. We are just waiting on this kayak.

[@stevehogan8829]

You'll love it

[@joshwhite8055]

Brother John ... You ought to try a Fluke style bate on a 2-4/0 worm hook . We've been catchin em good on Loudoun and Watts Bar . Back of coves , points and creek mouths where they dump in main lake . If you see a bunch podded up you can throw one nose hooked ... Fall feed = bait fish 🐟 Sweet video 👍

[@michaelcox609]

John with the fall bite turning on you need to be fishing shad type baits. Maybe even a bigger swimbait. A white buzz bait might work for those bigger smallies in the creeks also. Good luck. God bless and rip lips.

[@hiddenoutdooradventures5260]

Awesome Video this is a beautiful place! I find it funny that there’s all these comments about what bait you should use or what techniques you should be using! As Anglers we should always be open to new ideas. However you are the one with 101,000 subscribers and getting to fish for a living so keep doing what your doing brother this is my favorite channel!

[@ericharrison8950]

Excellent video! 5th place is not bad! Many would like to do that good. Thanks for the excellent videos. God bless!

[@anastaciolopez1434]

I am a panfish kind of guy, so want to thank you for including the small but yet larger panfish. Great video Sir. Next time you will do a lot better.

Close but no cigar. Way to go John good fishing.

[@deangray1823]

John, thank you for another great adventure!

[@jackbass9673]

#Creek fishing Adventure i cant believe your fishing my old home lake! The lake where i caught my first fish. I have so many memories on that lake, i have caught so many bass out of the Bar! I have to say its the most beautiful lake in the country and i have been on alot of them.

[@distinguishedgentleman7166]

Nice job brother, nothing to be ashamed of being in the top 1/3rd. I live in North AL, those were some cool mornings when that front passed!

[@lindagsmith7846]

Very familiar with that area & it is beautiful. Best of luck & haul those monsters in. 🐟take care.

[@scottfrey2710]

Haha! Pretty soon you are gonna need outriggers with more storage for all the gear you are packing onto just one kayak, John! Enjoyed watching this & reliving the Wattas Bar Lake tour! Thanks! -Scott-

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You got that right!

[@paulws58]

Thanks for taking me along.

[@engineer2001]

At 2:35, it looked like you were fishing with a cheese puff. Haha! I would bit a cheese puff too - can't fault the little guy for that.

[@joshreece5891]

I love the videos, and much respect to you, but man I hope he has a change of shorts with him when hooks a 25 inch bass! Lol

[@williamfriggle]

Good job. I love the verses you put at the end of your videos. God bless.

[@stevenwilliams5459]

I cant believe you don't ever fish a drop shot! Especially for fish you can see, and when you miss a fish!

[@blay7263]

I know right? It'd be perfect for his style of fishing since he fishes with nothing but spinning setups.

[@stevenwilliams5459]

@@blay7263 in every video he post he says, "there's a pretty good fish right there", or there's 2 or 3 following that fish. PERFECT DROPSHOT OPPORTUNITY! My favorite is the ROBOWORM in the purple color. Its the trick work, just drop it in and twitch it!

[@stevenwilliams5459]

@@blay7263 even like he was fishing today on those rock ledges, I've fished entire tourneys with a drop shot only!

[@BLHomestead]

Doing tuornies would stress me. I wish the water was that clear here in central OK. Every body of water here is muddy. 6 inches at best. Planning on doing some trips farther east to explore. Jeff when are you gonna try some noodling?......lol.

[@cousinbrad2938]

Great filming - the angles showing you casting to hopeful spots and telling us why... priceless. Especially for us transplants from them northwest (few bass fishing opportunities) to the south.

[@stevehogan8829]

Nice first fish. John, thanks for sharing the bites vs hours info. That really helps us understand what it takes. Really enjoying your videos lately. Creek fishing is one of the things I can't really do down here. Lots of water but not many creeks.

[@lynnstanton7018]

You gave it your best shot John still nice fishing day and took the time to ask the squirrel where the fish were maybe you should ask that crane or heron He's probably more likely looking for fish don't you But as always your enthusiasm makes the video great thanks John

it would be awesome to see what a crane sees

[@darell6485]

You were in my spot !!!! That's a great creek when you go to the first set of rapids. I noticed you got out of your yak to fish that hole which is a good hole at times. You can sometimes catch a limit right there . Got a 19" Smallie back in July

[@darell6485]

P.S.- Next time try the old hellgrammite there😉

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i did use it but i couldnt get many hits

[@craigstutts7560]

[@nickiebledsoe6302]

I have no ideal why anyone would even hit the thumbs down button. I didn't see anything wrong with this video at all! Fishing still has been slow for me for bit but we've also had a lot of rain and seems throw fish off bit and just when bite is on again it's rains again for days lol but love fishing and I'll never stop! 🙂 Maybe try drop shot a bit may help some! 🙂

[@waterratlyle2590]

Great video as always. 5th place is way better then last lol. I had the same issue with fish not wanting to hit anything you throw at them. Just pup my new video and it was a great time walking the creeks and fishing the drop offs. I caught a fish that I have never caught in my life. Definitely won't be the last now that I got a few lol.

[@s.8740]

So i did it, u convinced me 😆, i traded in my lew's xfinity XJ for that abu garcia veritas (went with the 6'3" medium fast) 👍🏼...waiting for it to get here as we speak 😁...keep the videos coming! Tight lines 🎣

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oh really, i am going to have to get one of the 6-3 size

[@s.8740]

@@CreekFishingAdventures the idea of having the "bare" pole in the palm of your hand to feel every bite sold me! And like u said "u have a little more control over the fish" as well as it just being a better all purpose rod plus i never hear u say anything bad about it 😆

Hey bud its joby enjoy all the videos especially when I see you in a familiar spot

John, I realize your videos pay the bills, but you put to much effort into the narration of your videos during the tournament. You don't catch fish talking about what's going on. You can always narrate after the video is made. If you add up on the time your lure wasn't in the water, I think you would be surprised. Congratulations on a 5th place.
