Man, John has come so far. Being the star of meet and greets, being on the radio, having a company like Pradco actually sponsor him. Having more followers and getting more views than some big time BASS and MLF anglers. Bet he succeeds with the dream of having his own creek rods. I'll buy one.
I still remember the very first video, that I saw John in. I don't know, of course, if you saw it...but he was fishing along a Creek Bank, and he had his Mom with him. He ended up catching a nice-sized Catfish, amongst the other fish that he caught that evening. I think that this was back around 6-7 years ago...and, as time went on, I saw how he built his channel into what it is today. That took a lot of guts and determination for him to do that. He started out small, but ended up (So far!), as being one of the most respected Fishermen on TH-cam. John's Faith in God, and his desire to make his channel what it is today, is a true testament to his character. He was able to leave his job back a few years ago, and concentrate on this full-time, and I, for one, am button-bustin' proud of him! He's worked his way up to 126,000+ Subscribers, and has had over 30,000,000+ views as it relates to his videos. I can't wait to see what he's gonna do next! I don't know about you, but I'd love to go fishin' and camping with him! That'd be totally cool, in my book!!!
Yes sir you have landed some nice fish through out this year. Thanks for sharing your fishing adventures with all of us. And remember stay out of my mud hole LOL.
I've gotta beware of myself, 'Cause I'm getting jealous there, Brother John! You did really great for yourself! I'm SERIOUSLY going to have to come down your way, and try my luck, in fishing for some Spotted Bass! I'd LOVE to tie into 'em! Looks to me, like they put up a great fight. Have a great day, and God bless you and yours!
Well now, that was a fun video. Thanks for taking the time to edit and put all that together. I know that took some time for sure. Can you imagine if you caught all of those on the same day? Blessings!
i LOVE THESE COMPILATION VIDEOS !!! You sir have had a pretty good year of angling with the sight of some of those fish. You are going to be the envy of TH-cam if you keep this up... God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!
You have been on em this year John. I should get ya back down here to Texas. I’ve found an area with Guadalupe bass in the 3 lb range that should break the state record. 2-3 lb. Guads fight just as hard as smallies. Glad to see you grow like you have this year.
This would be a good video to include where you’re catching the Alabama spots in Tennessee, especially since they are invasive & will eventually out compete the native species
You couldn't have asked for anything better. What a way to spend some time on the water. I know it doesn't happen all the time, but the quality of fish you were catching was nothing short of awesome.
One thing that I have observed John is God knows you need to make content worth watching for your audience which is all types of fishing except for saltwater, & he guides you in your decision making to where fish will be to what lures you need to be using because this channel is a ministry, just wanted to say that, cause I watch your videos when I want to see some great catches! I hope you'll be able to continue doing it for many years to come! God bless you!
Agreed! I'd rather have Spotted Bass be an "Invasive species", than I would those old Carp...or, even worse, those old Snakehead fish! People say that those two types of fish are super-invasive, and that the Snakeheads are just plain-out nasty! I've actually seen footage of those crazy things, flyin' up out of the water, and they looked like they were literally trying to hit people, as people were passing by in their boats! I've never liked either one of those two kinds of fish...and I never will!!!
Exactly what location in East Tennessee are you at That's where I'm from and I've been trying to find some spillways and backwaters that I can get a hold of some smallmouth or large mouth, spotted bass 💯🎣
Love your channel, miss the Bible quotes at the end. What would you recommend for an all round rod and reel? Is Walmart stuff quality?? Thank you so much. Plm
Hi John, I would love to come to the meet and greet I would love to meet you in person but due to me being a little under the weather I best stay at home. Good luck.
Wow, those are impressive! Must have been an amazing feeling reeling in those 20+ inchers. I see you're using a Zodias rod. How do you like it? I just picked up a 6' 9" M for next season on the river.
I think you’re plenty smart, I just think you were excited and had been talking about the fishes length in inches and weight in pounds mixed the two different measurement when you spoke. Keep up the good work!

I’d buy one too!
My wife and I had our best season ever this year. Great memories!
You caught some insane fish this year man! Love all your content! You helped get me back into creek fishing a few years ago!

i LOVE THESE COMPILATION VIDEOS !!! You sir have had a pretty good year of angling with the sight of some of those fish. You are going to be the envy of TH-cam if you keep this up... God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!
I love watching you cast those surface baits that skip and then immediately seeing them slammed. So satisfying to see how aggressively the bass hit.
Woooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeee what nice bass u got this year!!!! Congratulations and well done buddy 👏 👍
Great year my friend. Keep it up

Hey Derek, I sure do want to get back down there
Pretty markings on those bass and they seem to be feisty too. Ya had a good year. Thanks for taking us along.
Love the videos keep up the work
Great video sir. Great fish!
Spotzilla combo deluxe. I can definitely relate, chasing big spots in a small creek is my R&R. Thanks for taking us along and congrats....

AWESOME compilation man. I seen all these videos but glad to see the seasons best. Well done sir🤝🏼
Great year. My biggest were Florida strain large mouths.
Huge Spots!😎🎣👍
Love the videos man keep them coming
This would be a good video to include where you’re catching the Alabama spots in Tennessee, especially since they are invasive & will eventually out compete the native species
That first spot was a beautiful fish
You couldn't have asked for anything better.
What a way to spend some time on the water.
I know it doesn't happen all the time, but the quality of fish you were catching was nothing short of awesome.
Awesome fish catches, thanks for sharing 👍

There's an invasive species I can get behind. Nice catches, man!
I know, it’s hard to hate on them when they are that much fun

Man you put the whoopin' on 'em!
Man you caught some beasts this year you out done me on spots
i may never have a year like this again
Invasive or not, I love spots. Lake Lanier is full of them.
Great video and great fish they would be great
Biggest spots I've ever seen!
Nice fish! Im gonna have to get a gopro to show off some of my fish too!
Wow! Them bigguns is fun!
I’ve never been more jealous of a t shirt, but do they make it in crickhopper?
no but i wish

booyah
Love your channel, miss the Bible quotes at the end. What would you recommend for an all round rod and reel? Is Walmart stuff quality?? Thank you so much. Plm
some walmart stuff is good , usually reels over 50 and rods over 70 feel good
Those bass were a state record spotted bass in Mississippi the previous record was 4.1
Hi John, I would love to come to the meet and greet I would love to meet you in person but due to me being a little under the weather I best stay at home. Good luck.
Do u know any good creeks or rivers in central Tennessee or around Nashville?
Can you please tell me a good creek near Cleveland to kayak fish?
Wow, those are impressive! Must have been an amazing feeling reeling in those 20+ inchers. I see you're using a Zodias rod. How do you like it? I just picked up a 6' 9" M for next season on the river.
its a great rod, main one i use
I was always told the Alabama spot didn't even get as big as the Kentucky spot. Guess they were wrong
yes they typically are bigger
过瘾!
5 lbs. 5 oz. is not one ounce shy of 5 1/2 lbs., but as a fisherman, you are entitled to great leeway when it comes to weights and measures.
yeah i was off by 2 oz
Hey bro I just moved to Cleveland Tennessee and I can’t seem to find spots to fish 😅you mind maybe helping me
lots of bank access on the hiwassee in charleston, lots of creek access in cleveland, bridges and paks
👍🤙
Do you ever fish in East Tennessee?
#388👍🏻🎣👀
Hippospottimus.
nice
Okay John, 12 inches in a foot, 16 ounces in a pound, so a 5 1/2 pound bass would be 5 pounds, 8 ounces! Just sayin’😊
yep i may not be the smartest person
I think you’re plenty smart, I just think you were excited and had been talking about the fishes length in inches and weight in pounds mixed the two different measurement when you spoke. Keep up the good work!
Rip some lips in 2023.
