It’s awesome to see your home state get some recognition for how cool and diverse its fishery is. Truly is a one of a kind place. We need videos like this to spread concern for our depleting habitat due to erosion and storms etc. great video! Come back soon!
The summer before my sophomore year of high school my family moved to Shreveport from Utah. I had always been into fishing but not a bass angler at all. When we got into our new neighborhood right on the southern edge of town I jumped on my bike and started exploring. I found a little bayou creek running under a bridge a few miles down the road and decided to give it a shot. I tied on a gigantic black and purple ribbon tail worm and proceeded to fish it like it was a small snake. I had no idea what I was doing. But by gawd it worked. The first bass I pulled from that creek was easily in the 8-10lb range. In my naive mind I thought all bass were that size. We were only in Louisiana for a few years and I never got deep into bass fishing as I was heavily involved in other sports. 25+ years later I have yet to catch anything bigger. One day I’ll get back down to the boot and hopefully catch a new PB. I’m highly doubtful that it’s going to happen up here in Idaho but you never know.
Boo dean!!!😂😂😂 I commented the same thing! At first i didn’t kno wtf he was talking about then it hit me i was dying!!! We are like a whole different world in Louisiana especially here in New Orleans!!
The lake is being drawn down for dredging. It is down 4’. It used to be a cypress swamp fed by bayou Duplantier. Early 1900’s it was clear cut and the bayou was dammed to create a lake. We used to water ski and fish but it began to silt in and nothing larger than a trolling motor is allowed because of the stumps. Currently the dredging project is removing stumps and sunken logs to create a larger flood control system. The lake record bass is 13 pounds 12 ounces caught under the interstate overpass.
@@Brad_Leon Shreveports violent crime rate is easily above national average. Doesn’t mean I don’t love it here. With that said, if you’re not from Shreveport and go down the wrong street you need to be careful.
Lol I’m from BR and went to LSU and that’s hilarious that you actually put in at the LSU lakes. Awesome that Louisiana is getting some love though. Always great fishing down here. Great video!
Man I am so glad you were able to fish the park successfully! Shot out to Austin for hookin it up! Thanks for sharing Jon and hope all is well. God bless!
Every casting concrete this mans says the same stuff “you can literally hear cars in the background” or something about goldfish being released and gettin big lmao. Absolutely love it
I will say the lsu ponds have giants in them, but they have been doing some work on it with dredging and getting rid of grass, so that’s why it’s so shallow rn
I grew up fishing what we called the creek “technically the flat river” in bossier right next to Shreveport and it was the best fishing ever still to do this day in my 30’s. From crappie bream bass stripers. It was a fun way to grow up
Hey Jon, you should look into doing a Casting Concrete episode in Toronto. Have heard of many stories of people catching monster pike and other species right at pier of the city.
Hey Jon, this might not be what you're looking for, but it's for sure urban. The Thames River in Southern ontario is full of smallmouth bass as well as carp, catfish, pike, suckers, rock bass and much more. There's even musky fishing opportunities where the river joins Lake St. Clair. It's full of life and makes a great paddle trip.
Your growing up fishing suburban Illinois sounds a lot like me growing up in suburban Indiana. I had a little pond by a cemetery, tucked away in a little block of woods, and noone fished it. I'd tie on a double spinner buzzbait in the summer and wade the pond. Man those were the days! My parents weren't outdoors folks, but I was ate up with it. My Granddad got me a 15 or 16 year subscription to Outdoor Life magazine, and that was my hunting/fishing mentor. I caught 5lb bass out of that little pond, and thought I was Al Linders! Lol I got a paper route and bought a Ryobi baitcaster (the old top push button style from the early to mid 80's) and a pistol grip Berkley Lightning rod, along with numerous others. If I wasn't fishing, I was casting to a bucket in the yard, getting better with that baitcaster. My mother passed not long ago, and I have been going through all her things, and found that old Ryobi/Berkley combo. It's not an Aldebaren, but 40+ years on, and it still works! 😂
Thats awsome. Loved how you showed the air drop of trout in the high lakes after tossing thay bass. That video was taken in Oregon and its definitely common method. However, they really dont know how many make it. Maybe only a few if any. Or, maybe more then half. There's no data at the moments but maybe there should be.
Hey Jon! Come to Utah!! It can be a challenging state, but you can start in the northern part of the state at Flaming Gorge. You can catch big lake trout, giant small mouth, rainbows, and Kokanee there. Make your way into Salt Lake City, and try to master one the hardest "concrete fishing" cities in the US. Keep making your way south, and fish at the most beautiful lake ever.. Lake Powell. It's apart of the Colorado river chain. Good largemouth and Smallmouth fishing, crappie, walleye, as well as giant strippers. My middle name is Powell after that lake. So I may be a little bit biased, but it's the most unique lake on earth. Filming there would be your camera man's dream place to film. Lots of great wildlife, but the B roll shots going through those winding, slick rock canyons would be so cool to see filmed. Drone shots=incredible. There is also Native American artifacts that can be explored at the lake. Gin clear water like Havasu, great for GoPro shots. This whole state can be explored, and have so many different backgrounds, climates, and regions for fishing. You or one of the Googans definitely to film some vids out here!! If you read this, and want to know more hmu!! I've been a subscriber for years, and I would love to help out with bringing you an idea of exploring a beautiful, challenging, and charming state! Thanks Dude! #neverstop
I see this video befor. Are you still making new video's are not. I hope that you anser me. Love your channel very machs. Greeting from Belgium and my Georges.
@22:00 homie is fishing corporation canal on LSU campus after staying in Lod Cook. Plenty of turtles and snakes in there, but most of the decent fish will be in the pond behind the Crescent at University Lake (only access to condo owners, used to sneak in there in college and there was many +5lb largemouth). @22:50 homie fishing behind Todd Graves (Cane's owner) house. That pond is mostly silted in which can be seen from the video. Again, almost no fish in there. Jon, the entire university lake system is currently being dredged but used to have an old state record largemouth in the lake at @25:00. Average lake depth is ~2feet. Heavy siltation causes it be poor habitat, currently being rectified by the dredging contractor (Sevenson). Also. historic drought likely wiped out many of the fish last year. Come back in ~4-5 years and there should be a ton of largemouth everywhere. Source - I am a BR native and am an engineer who was part of the dredge design team.
John got what we call a Texas grand slam. Keeper red, flounder and trout. It hard to get all three and all legal size since they have different season for targeting. They are the most sort out inshore game fish in the gulf. Great way to end with a carp like always
I’m from Blanchard LA and Ngl it’s good to see a big TH-camr come and fish out here. Next time you come down you should try caddo lake and the Blanchard to caddo portion of the Black bayou.
LSU Lakes are currently in the middle of a dredging project for the reason you found...way too shallow to be healthy. Not sure when you filmed but I didn't see any of the construction equipment so I'd guess it had to be 6+ months earlier. Those "bayous" are just drainage canals.
Long time fan, glad to see you in my home state man. If you’re looking to catch an at least 10+ lbs striped bass in a private pond behind my house, come on over lol it’s never been caught yet. Located near Lafayette area, pond also has 5+ pounder bass
NO WAY!!! I am from Louisiana and come here all the time for work and stay at the Margaritaville hotel and walk that boardwalk all the time and go in that bass pro shop every time. How cool would that have been to just see Jon B casually fishing.
As a person from Louisiana to red fish you cought were bull reds and if you wanna catch a lot of the you have to go to a rocky place. And also there a lot of mysterious canals and creeks for big mud,blue,chanels cats and big gars
Hell yeah always enjoy watching your videos you have great content and seam like a humble man! Been watching for a few years now and always enjoy! Respect
You should do a casting concrete tx gulf coast edition and target different salt water species. Try to get trout,redfish,flounder,black drum,sheepshead, and a jack by the end of it… Galveston to Freeport to rock port to corpus. 4 coastal cities to try and catch all sought after bay species would be awesome and very unique
Gatlinburg ,Pigeon Forge TN. In Pigeon Forge you can catch large mouth and small mouth bass and in Gatlinburg you can catch raibow trout. I live in LA just south of New Orlean where the fishing is second to none. I go up to TN just cause I like the scenery and it's just a new way to fish for fish.
John PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fish the Bassmaster Opens as an EQ angler. You owe it to us and yourself brother. Loving fish, and too fish is the main thing to be a good tournament angler.
I’m a student at LSU and this year they have been dredging the lake. They just started to refill it 2 weeks before this video was posted. However even when the lake is completely filled it is 3-4ft at its deepest points.
broooooooooooooo you were in my home town wtf!! i could have taken you to a stocked pond with double digits for content! IM FREAKING OUT! You and Greg Blanchard are my heros man ive missed both of you while you were here!!!
Jon, as a native Okie who has been in OKC the majority of his life, I'd love to show you around the city if you ever wanna do a Casting Concrete series here in OK. We have some great urban fishing spots.
Man I wish I would have known you were coming down here. My neighborhood lake (my literal backyard) has 9lbs + bass. My friends and neighbors have caught multiple. Ranging from 6.6lbs to 9.3lbs. Very well managed and aerated. You’ll have to check it out if you ever make your way down here again.
It’s awesome to see your home state get some recognition for how cool and diverse its fishery is. Truly is a one of a kind place. We need videos like this to spread concern for our depleting habitat due to erosion and storms etc. great video! Come back soon!
Tell me about it he caught the carp in front on my highschool
Yo!!! Why did you throw away the entire basket!!😂😂
lmao i saw that to and had to do a double take😂
I'm not the only one lmao
Bro I was gonna write a comment glad I’m not the only one😂
I had to take a double take on that one too😂😂😂
Hahah. I saw that too
Born & raised south Louisiana. Very awesome for you to come explore the boot & showcase our state!
Yo Jon you threw away the reusable basket at canes 😂
Was searching for someone else who noticed😂

its so good but i swear ive seen this like 4 times already
I was having that same thought throughout! I swear I have watched this video before.
I know I’ve seen the being because I remember him fishing Shreveport
He also caught a carp their in another video this old ass video
Yeah with the casting concrete videos he just compiles videos he already made together to make longer form content
I swear
Absolute heat 🔥
Sees Jon B pitching bread for carp - feels happy :)
That outro was beautiful too. Nice film Jon. :)
Hi Carl
The way you pronounced boudin is killing me 😂
Frrrrr
Boo dean!!!😂😂😂 I commented the same thing! At first i didn’t kno wtf he was talking about then it hit me i was dying!!! We are like a whole different world in Louisiana especially here in New Orleans!!
Aye at least he knows whats up with the hot sauces!! Louisiana and crystal the goats
Fr tho
also if I saw someone in a bass boat on campus I would be so confused

Awesome video, as a Shreveport native i'm glad you were safe. Some sketchy areas in Shreveport
Shreveport is just as bad as any mid size urban city. It gets a bad rap and the people who live here keep it going.
@@Brad_Leon Shreveports violent crime rate is easily above national average. Doesn’t mean I don’t love it here. With that said, if you’re not from Shreveport and go down the wrong street you need to be careful.
I can testify that is true
JON come to NEW BRAUNFELS TX COMAL RIVER I GOT A HONEY HOLE FOR U LMK I GIVE U LOCATION TO BEAUTIFUL SPOT ON COMAL
Nothing beats watching Jon b while rigging up your poles! Love the content Jon been watching for 7 years.
Man see Jon B casting concrete
Man watch with intensity
Man happy
27:46 RIP Canes tray
that's what i'm saying i was surprised there was no other comments lol
Jon b has been doing pretty much the same thing since day 1. Just on a bigger scale now. Hes a classic and i love it. Great stuff
17:36 you cannot convince me that bro isn't cooked. The eyes are too funny 😂
You are by far my favorite googan.
Love the videos and your vibe not many TH-cam fishing channels are down to earth people like you are keep up the good work
Lol I’m from BR and went to LSU and that’s hilarious that you actually put in at the LSU lakes. Awesome that Louisiana is getting some love though. Always great fishing down here. Great video!
same the lakes are drained and isn’t a good spot to fish anymore
Some massive catfish came out of those lakes. Sad to hear they drained them.
A 15+ bass was csught there years ago too
have you fished the Mississippi in North Baton Rouge by the old bridge? tons of river cats there.
Jojobarz simply DOESN’T MISS. Can’t watch now but best believe when I’m off work. I’m on it
Man I am so glad you were able to fish the park successfully! Shot out to Austin for hookin it up! Thanks for sharing Jon and hope all is well. God bless!
Thx for letting the world know about the positive environment we are blessed with in N.O.
Ayeee my state!! Hopefully this helps me find more fishing spots. Thank you guys for coming down
Im from Shreveport, Louisiana so cool to see this man much love Jon💙
Every casting concrete this mans says the same stuff “you can literally hear cars in the background” or something about goldfish being released and gettin big lmao. Absolutely love it
Love the longer movie like format.
Love casting concrete!! You should also do more food reviews double content would love more of that!! Keep killing the fishing:)
I will say the lsu ponds have giants in them, but they have been doing some work on it with dredging and getting rid of grass, so that’s why it’s so shallow rn
Its been shallow for years and years, they ignored it for so long that its sad....
Missouri edition please 🙏 ❤
INSANE. Now you gotta come Fish the Pearl River and all the great waters in Mississippi 👀👀👀
Always a good day when a new Casting Concrete releases!!
This is a repost😢
I grew up fishing what we called the creek “technically the flat river” in bossier right next to Shreveport and it was the best fishing ever still to do this day in my 30’s. From crappie bream bass stripers. It was a fun way to grow up
Hey Jon, you should look into doing a Casting Concrete episode in Toronto. Have heard of many stories of people catching monster pike and other species right at pier of the city.
The guy running into the boat while holding another Jon boat is hilarious
❤️❤️❤️my Louisiana, totally enjoyed your input and video. I’ve watching you since you were a young lad . Baton Rouge is my home.
Best series on TH-cam! Editing is spot on, love watching these 👏
wish you woulda went to the wilson ditch in kenner. huge ones over there & you can walk over to pontachartrain
THis is a re-run lol i knew iv watched this content before. Good one Jon
Thank god someone else realized I thought I was going crazy
I love my home state. Glad you got to enjoy it. Much love from Slidell, LA.
You should do a casting concrete NY! From all the water in the ADK, the finger lakes, Ontario, so many options!
you are my favorite youtuber. your videos are always so fun to watch! i’ve never been this early to a vid before
Next time you're in Louisiana, try fishing Laccassine Wildlife refuge. It's like the everglades, and the fish are huge!
Hey Jon, this might not be what you're looking for, but it's for sure urban.

When the weedwaker john boat ran into the yatch, that made my day lol.
Jon you need to come back and fish Chicot state park for giant bass, millers lake for giant bluegill
glad new people are finding Jon B! dudes so entertaining!

Let's goooo. I gotta spot for you for when you come back brotha. Gotta swing to lake verette
Love this format - urban fishing is the best.
That carp spot is down the street from my house! Awesome to see you catching them so close to me. Those canals also have huge gar up to 6-7 feet!
HOW do you not have like 10M subs? Your videos are animal planet worthy, but better. I’m always hyped for a new video.
I see this video befor.
Are you still making new video's are not.
I hope that you anser me.
Love your channel very machs.
Greeting from Belgium and my Georges.
I love the sneaky zynn’s in the back pocket 🤟
That last segment is not too far from where I live! West Esplanade canal right before Severn!

Love the casting concrete videos ❤️
Well I'm happy for you guys down south to be able to catch fish I would love to see you do a casting concrete in Arizona or California
I’m from Blanchard LA and Ngl it’s good to see a big TH-camr come and fish out here. Next time you come down you should try caddo lake and the Blanchard to caddo portion of the Black bayou.
And cypress lake
We all nice in Louisiana because we all feel that hurt, so glad you came back❤

This is incredible! Mississippi gulf coast next!!
Jon you keep getting better. The only OG who's still consistent.
Can’t forget flair

One of my favorite videos so far
great series!
Jon B. Sometime in your travels in MA, you should give Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster, MA a try. Freshwater fishing.
Fishing the trestles!!! Surprised I didn’t see you out there
Slidell got some honey holes
You should do a 50 state send with these casting concrete in all 50 states
NO WAY!!! I am from Louisiana and come here all the time for work and stay at the Margaritaville hotel and walk that boardwalk all the time and go in that bass pro shop every time. How cool would that have been to just see Jon B casually fishing.
Glad to see you starting in Shreveport. That’s my home. When you come back, you should announce it, I’ll take you to some good spots bro
the videos lately got me back into fishing this year, keep up the 🔥 content!
As a person from Louisiana to red fish you cought were bull reds and if you wanna catch a lot of the you have to go to a rocky place. And also there a lot of mysterious canals and creeks for big mud,blue,chanels cats and big gars
Fishing that old duck pond haha! I take my kayak to a lot of th pose places in Shreveport/Bossier. It’s a good time!
Hell yeah always enjoy watching your videos you have great content and seam like a humble man! Been watching for a few years now and always enjoy! Respect

I caught a nice brown trout in the national park there too
Love the videos Jon B.
I love the vids this is my home state, I have feel that Louisiana is overlooked in the fishing community
John PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fish the Bassmaster Opens as an EQ angler. You owe it to us and yourself brother. Loving fish, and too fish is the main thing to be a good tournament angler.
Man i wish you would come to North Louisiana man i'd take you to some great lakes around here.
LSU has some pretty crazy fishing certain times of the year, gotta find the pond Todd graves lives on its loaded
come back to metairie(which is where you caught that last carp in the canal) we have some golf courses near that are fun to fish
I’m a student at LSU and this year they have been dredging the lake. They just started to refill it 2 weeks before this video was posted. However even when the lake is completely filled it is 3-4ft at its deepest points.
broooooooooooooo you were in my home town wtf!! i could have taken you to a stocked pond with double digits for content! IM FREAKING OUT! You and Greg Blanchard are my heros man ive missed both of you while you were here!!!
Wow! Can’t believe you were in Shreveport! Great video!
Close to home I love to see it come to Monroe LA!!!
Jon, as a native Okie who has been in OKC the majority of his life, I'd love to show you around the city if you ever wanna do a Casting Concrete series here in OK. We have some great urban fishing spots.
You gotta try the Blind Tiger next time you’re in Shreveport/Bossier
Need to go and try wading for crappie that would be a cool video for LA
Man I wish I would have known you were coming down here. My neighborhood lake (my literal backyard) has 9lbs + bass. My friends and neighbors have caught multiple. Ranging from 6.6lbs to 9.3lbs. Very well managed and aerated. You’ll have to check it out if you ever make your way down here again.
I’ve caught a 9 pounder on a bed at the park you were fishing in Shreveport I grew up less than a mile from there. Super tough spot.
Here for itttt
Great video I really enjoyed this one
If you ever come back to Louisiana near Lafayette area I have a golf course you could fish!
The dopamine rush from a jon b video is all i need!!
