I was fishing in the main tributary to Caesars Creek lake from my flat bottom boat and was able to pluck a turtle off a log a couple of weeks ago. Took it home, gave it an actual shower and scrub with a tooth brush (obviously tossed out the brush when done), let my kids/cat play with it, then put it back on the same log the next day bc i felt bad taking it from its home. I bet its telling the equivalent of our alien abduction stories to his friends, and has the polished shell to back it up.
Here in canton we have a nice creek that runs through the whole city! Nice small mouth, large mouth bass , rock bass, carp, catfish, I’ve even seen cropy before as well. Fun fishing!
That first fish was an absolute BEAST!! It was also very beautiful with all those markings. Just caught my first smallies of 2024 yesterday (5-13-24). Had fun. Your content never disappoints...always useful and informative. TLF
Seeing lots of big smallies,huge carp, tons of suckers at my local creek (may or may not be the one you're fishing here). been catching big carp, haven't fished for the smallies yet
Great job out there! Some really nice smallmouth! You always do a great job and share some really good information. Keep doing your thing buddy! Definitely enjoyed watching this. Tight lines!!
Excellent time to get out and chase smallies. I'm going to give it a go next weekend. Typically this time of year and fall is when our most memorable trips come. You certainly had one brother. Blessings B
Idk if this is a tributary lake erie, but all of the great lakes tributaries have phenomenal smallmouth fishing regardless of state. April and may you will absolutely hammer them left and right.
@@thecreekcrawler agreed. My most looked forward to time of year. I fish NY lake erie tribs. Theres always atleast one day where I will catch multiple 3-4 pound fish, and over 30 fish total. It's absolutely phenomenal in the lower reaches pre spawn
Is that creek only full of jumbos!?!? I live in NE Ohio, near Akron so we have some good Smallmouth fishing in the Cuyahoga and its tributaries but nothing like that! Wow...
@@thecreekcrawler nice. Kinda wanna get the spinning version. Nice over all rod (jackhammer) took some getting used to the slow speed of the rod but has done me well since I got it. Kinda heavy but I’m in love with it.
Lets go in Jesus name sincerely "The Dayton Metro Smallmouth Slayer"🙏🙌🗣🕊🔥🦅🐟. P.S. I will be praying in Jesus name that you feel better brother CreekCrawler. Because there has been alot of sickness and sinus issues going on at the mental health hospital in Dayton also🙏🙌🗣🕊🔥🦅🐟.

Heck yea!!! It’s a blessing to have a sweet fishery like that.
Holy smallmouths, Batman..... Those were some tanks....I've got to get me some of those 😊
Tons of creeks in Ohio with big ole smallies like this!
A little slice of Heaven. Appreciate your channel. Tight lines!
It’s never a bad day for a wet wade in the creek!
You just had a great summer catching all those, and you did it in 1 day. Awesome day!!!
Hopefully more to come!!
MAN! You killed it. I'm Fired Up for some GMR SmallJaws this season✌️🎣
Same here man!!!
I can 💯 agree with you on Ohio creek fishing. I’ve been to plenty of different states fishing, but nothing compares to Ohio in my opinion!
If you can find some main river tribs in Ohio you can usually find a solid population of large smallmouth.
@@thecreekcrawler I’m basically on big Walnut Creek, so I’m almost always in em
What an awesome day of fishing! Truly enjoy your content. Thank you !
I appreciate you watching!! Good luck out there!
That's crazy man, when I grow up I wanna be like you.
I wanna grow up and be like you too! lol

Another great Smallie vid. Amazing giants out of the small water!!
Thanks my dude!! I see y’all out there crushing it too
What a perfect day in the creek! I'm going to give those Nikko leaches a try down here in KY and the next time I'm up your way.
The leech is phenomenal!! Absolutely one of my favorite finesse presentations!
Excellent time to get out and chase smallies. I'm going to give it a go next weekend. Typically this time of year and fall is when our most memorable trips come. You certainly had one brother. Blessings B
Love the spring!!! Fall is great too!
That was awesome great fishing man
Appreciate it man!
Beautiful fish. Beautiful creek!
Thank you!
Nice day of fishing !!
Can’t get much better! Thanks for watching
Gotta love that creeking. We do it a lot in east ky. Haven’t seen any beds as of today but have caught several females with eggs.
The spawn has been very weird here in Ohio.
Those would be lake only SM in NY. We have them in creeks, but they’re just dinks. Impressive!
Thanks!! We have some pretty impressive creeks throughout Ohio!
What a day
Few and far between but when it happens… geez it’s the best!
Great video to start the Ohio river fishing 🔥🔥🔥
Hopefully more days to come!
Definitely some impressive creek fish in the mix!
We are blessed with some amazing tributaries for sure!
Love those Nikko leeches! Great day buddy.
Leeches always slayin!
Absolutely beautiful fish! So many tank smallmouth.
Thanks my dude!! I’ll see you out there
Those were awesome small mouth !
Definitely made my year already!
Can't wait to get back up home to Ohio next week and slay some of my secret smalljaw creeks!! you're more than welcome to join
They are patiently waiting for ya!!
Insane fish!
Thanks man. These creek smallies get me up in the morning!
Great video
Thanks Rick!
What a day!
I hope you’re doing good man!!
Dude you're killing it
Appreciate it man!! Good luck this season
If I have half your luck I'm good
Awesome day, man!
Appreciate it!! Nothing better than a wet wade and giant bronze!
Idk if this is a tributary lake erie, but all of the great lakes tributaries have phenomenal smallmouth fishing regardless of state. April and may you will absolutely hammer them left and right.
This is a trib to one of the main rivers that flow into the Ohio river down south. Love catching bigs outta knee shallow water.
@@thecreekcrawler agreed. My most looked forward to time of year. I fish NY lake erie tribs. Theres always atleast one day where I will catch multiple 3-4 pound fish, and over 30 fish total. It's absolutely phenomenal in the lower reaches pre spawn
Some freaking giants
Creek Megs!
Is that creek only full of jumbos!?!? I live in NE Ohio, near Akron so we have some good Smallmouth fishing in the Cuyahoga and its tributaries but nothing like that! Wow...
During the pre-spawn you can find the big ones! But yes they are there year around and can be super tough to get during the summer!
You have inspired me to hit these creeks in butler county haha. I’m gonna hit a nice canal in the morning first!
that's what I like to hear!!! go get em!
Dude you got a great hook set.
Thanks man!
Awesome dude! Love wading for smallies but I only get 1-2 trips a year to do it. What’s your preferred leader knot?
I use a double uni!
I’m in southern ohio to
Heck yea!!! Love our little piece of fishing heaven.
@@thecreekcrawler me to gives me a chance to get out of the house
I live here in Ohio as well I love walking creeks and watching buterball smallest! I'm not to far from Dayton either.
Heck yea!!! We have some awesome creeks around here for sure!!
@@thecreekcrawler so which creek you fishing？
@@xinchen1158 these are secrets I keep close to heart.
How is that combat stick treating you? I just got the jackhammer casting version. Caught some 5 and 6 lbs largies in Newark by columbus
I love the combat stick!!! This one has done pretty good with the jackhammer. I haven’t tried getting the actual jackhammer version.
@@thecreekcrawler nice. Kinda wanna get the spinning version. Nice over all rod (jackhammer) took some getting used to the slow speed of the rod but has done me well since I got it. Kinda heavy but I’m in love with it.
Any recommendations for creeks in dayton?
Any creek in Dayton probably has good smallmouth! Tight lines
Was just wondering is that a line cutter on your rod? If so wht brand is it and where can I pick one up at?
That’s actually a hook keeper I got off Amazon.
@@thecreekcrawler 😂 my bad. Seen some line cutters that mount on ur pole for braid on vedios but can't seem to find them in store.
Those are some huge creek smallies. That creek looks really small. How can those fish thrive?
Plenty of forage and some deepish pockets will do the trick!
😲
😎🤜🏻
I live in Columbus.. What creek is this? Any suggestions on good spots in central Ohio?
Alum,big walnut, Hoover, little darby, scioto.. prettt much anywhere with running water there’s small mouth
You are surrounded by some amazing creeks. Get on google maps and go check em out! You will not be disappointed!
You listed a few gems on here for sure!
👍😎
Thanks for stopping by Michael!! 😎🤜🏻
I never get tired of watching you rip lips
Truly appreciate the support man! I hope you’re crushing it this year!
Lets go in Jesus name sincerely "The Dayton Metro Smallmouth Slayer"🙏🙌🗣🕊🔥🦅🐟. P.S. I will be praying in Jesus name that you feel better brother CreekCrawler. Because there has been alot of sickness and sinus issues going on at the mental health hospital in Dayton also🙏🙌🗣🕊🔥🦅🐟.
Thanks man!! God Bless!
Where at in Ohio creeks you fish. Keep up the good work
I typically use google maps to find creeks that flow into larger rivers.
@@thecreekcrawler what part of Ohio are you in
How many times in a video can a guy say "frickin'?" Great camera work, though.
When I am catching fish like that its often my go to F word..just to keep it family friendly lol. thanks for watching!
