So I incorporated a catfishing technique into shellcracker fishing this weekend...dragging...1oz sinker bead swivel 30 inch leader small cork small hook with worms. Slow paddling with two rods..caught 4 in the 10 inch range..in the first attempt. I did catch 12 more anchored out on bottom but I only did the dragging when I first got there for about an hour and a half...
At the 4:45 timemark, when you had that limb to deal with, that's when you should've had either a small handsaw, or a Sawsall to cut that branch with. It wouldn't hurt you to start carrying something like that with you when you go fishing. You never know when you might need it!
OMGOSH...THOSE WERE SOME GREAT BASS!!!!!!!!! John that was an amazing journey brother... Every time you set the hook my heart rate would jump into over drive. I always enjoyed tournaments knowing you are trying to target bigger fish and the anticipation of every bite would just drive you mad.. Great video and amazing day God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!
The fishing has slowed down considerably up north. I've been using a variety of baits and lures. Fishing slow & fast. It's a lot of fun to fish when your catching them. Thanks for the positive vibes with your videos.
Keep your line in the water and don't bail out before the pay off John. You're doing great and mixing fun fishing with the tournament chase looks like a blast. Fellow water walker.
That was a great episode. I've watched you for a while now and you have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel similar to yours but I'm in Germany. Keep up the great work.
Great video! I love seeing the places you fish as I fished a lot of the creeks that feed into Chickamauga Lake growing up. Possum creek and Sale Creek were good Crappie places. Once when the Mayflies hatched, my dad and I were fishing the bluffs across from Harrison Bay just downstream a bit and got to see a fish feeding frenzy to beat all! Keep those videos coming.!
Wtg another awesome video sir. I can't wait until all these nexts videos to come out they are going to be amazing. Sir thanks again for all you do and for your time and hard work I appreciate it all.
Dude, just keep doing what you're doing. Have fun. I love watching you catch fish. You're not selling crap, you're not reviewing crap, you're not complaining about crap. And the tourney X, I've signed up, I've been telling all my fishing buddies about it. I haven't registered for any events but there's plenty happening in my areas.
Another great video. I don't know how everyone else feels about it but I think your videos are really good and lots of fun to watch even with the little mess ups that sometimes happen. We don't have to watch a special one of all the bloopers like that one guy that I can't for the life of me think of his name, because your bloopers are usually right there in the one we are watching. That's one of the really great 👍things about you and your videos,, you are so real. You keep it like that and you are going to have fans for as long as you and the Lord keep this going. I know I'm a permanent fan. 😀 You always say thanks for watching so I want to tell you thanks for sharing. God bless you and keep you safe and prosperous in His awesome care. Happy fishing.
Ok..here we go..No1) DO NOT cut the beard ,looks awesome plus I'm growing mine too😂2) that first bass was like a piece of art beautiful and 3) that last one wrecked the spinner blade!!!! and was a Chawg!!!...loved it👍♥️🎣 God bless you Brother John and thanks for all the hard work. 👍✝️💜🛶🏹🎣🇺🇲
Yes more kayaking videos I like those because I do a lot of the same thing by the way you can get away with a head lamp on a kayak at night you have to have an emergency light on a kayak. Good luck!
Man, that teaser! Congrats on the big fish. All that hard work paying off. There is something to trying to push for that big 5 fish limit. Fun but also a little stressful.
John I'm loving these kayak videos. I got the Onyx Movement Dynamic life jacket and it's pretty comfortable. It was 42$ and I keep it on the whole time I'm in the kayak. 👊👍
Nice fish in this session! Not a bad showing in the tournament. I saw the Lew’s Laser HS rod in the kayak. I like that Walmart rod so much I bought 3 of them, 1 medium casting and 2 spinning a medium and a medium light. Fantastic rods for $29.99
ALWAYS love every video and totally agree with the comment below that your videos are ALWAYS more exciting than any major league sport and includes GOD!! I just want to know how much time you average off camera getting off a hang up and putting on new lures from breaking them off!? I know as long as it has been for me I would probably spend more time stuck on a log or in the trees than fishing!! 🤪🤣
I don't see a lot of video of people fishing such tiny creeks. It's what I grew up doing all my life because I live in a small town and that's the only fishing spots available here besides the local reservoir. I love small creeks because you're usually alone, it's quiet and the fish I love to catch are almost always in creeks(bowfin and gar)
Excellent adventure and great fishing. Now I'm not sure if I have been saving up my money for an upgrade in my metal detectors or a new kayak. Maybe I will put an add in the paper for a woman who has two kayaks, please send pictures of kayaks😁🤔👍
I feel you on the editing process, I only record with my cell and it takes about 30-40 mins for a 7-10 min video I can only imagine the editing with 2-3 cameras and mic's keep on brotha! I love the innovation and the trial and error bbn of different products! Blessings from SATX!
What rod / reel combo are you using? It looks like you can cast far and in any direction with a short swing, using the whip of the end of the rod? Is that right? Do you use a baitcasting combo at all?
A Auto Inflate life jacket is a great upgrade It allows you to wear a life jacket without the bulk Also the auto inflate is a little extra cash But it will get you to the surface even if you hit your head That way you don't have to struggle to find the pull cord I have a camo one so I can wear it duck hunting But for you a normal color might be fine
Great video....fyi - I know it's probably not planned, but it's uncanny how TH-cam places an ad just before your closing frames with the parting scripture passage - a minor annoyance, but if one was into conspiracies....
Question for ya bro... I've watched for a while and I've seen the transition, what tips for talking to the camera etc would you have?? Being new to the tube its still a little cringy for me lol
More exciting than any major league spots on tv.
"Fishing arsenal". Dude. I like that!

Its like Christmas every Monday. Keep the adventures coming!
Best intro on TH-cam
You got that right!
Agreed.
Agreed also the best outro.
Congrats on 6th place! Hookin the monsters!!
Who else reminders like 4 years ago when John got that intro. It was like his 3rd vid ever
Small creek fishing is the best!! Keep it up chap!

Keep the videos coming always enjoy watching
Creeky nice 👍 you can never ever beat the feeling of a fish hitting your lure it's the best 🐟🎣 even when you watching 🤘🍺
Definitely looking forward to seeing future videos!
Great job John!✝️🇺🇸
Once again another great video. I'm so happy that the Lord continues to bless you and yours. Have a great day
Great job John, enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing the next one thanks!

Nice place for the first time. In the top 10. That is impressive. Good job and keep grinding.
Hey John, great video! Trying to make it good enough to watch you say? Mission accomplished! Really enjoyed the kayak tournament!
Keep your line in the water and don't bail out before the pay off John. You're doing great and mixing fun fishing with the tournament chase looks like a blast. Fellow water walker.
That was a great episode. I've watched you for a while now and you have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel similar to yours but I'm in Germany. Keep up the great work.
Go for it!
I really appreciate the bible verses at the end of your videos. Good luck in your future tournaments!
Love that area. Caught a 7.2 and 8.9 on that stretch.
Good stuff

Glad I got to start my morning off with your video! Those were some nice bass!!
Wtg another awesome video sir. I can't wait until all these nexts videos to come out they are going to be amazing. Sir thanks again for all you do and for your time and hard work I appreciate it all.
My bucket list for 2021 is taking a long weekend trip to Chickamauga Lake on my kayak! Keep the adventures coming!
Who else was moving back and forth trying help John launch his canoe?
Hahaha I totally did. Didnt even think of it. Instinct
Guilty
😂😂😂😂
I kept scooching forward with John in my chair as he tried to slide into the creek. My wife even saw me doing it and just laughed. 😃
About the mic rubbing against the jacket. Had you not mentioned, I would have thought nothing of it.
Dude you were laying into some chunks! Nice!
Dude, just keep doing what you're doing. Have fun. I love watching you catch fish. You're not selling crap, you're not reviewing crap, you're not complaining about crap.

I caught my pb 8lb largemouth on a spinner just like yours
Really liking these kayak videos! Wish New Jersey has amazing looking waters like you in TN! Great job, John

They can't fight as hard when the water is cold in the winter time.Spring summer and fall they fight hard.Good job on your torrmaite .

Awesome fishing dude! Great video. Keep up
What happened at 13:04? I rewound the video numerous times to try and understand what the deal was, but i understand not.
haha, i just saw it i was thinking
@@CreekFishingAdventures That can be dangerous.

Great video awesome fishing would like to see you set up a baitcaster and Shaw is how to use them. I just got my first baitcaster.
LOL - I'm glad you adjusted the strings on your hoodie - my OCD couldn't take it
Love it . Always looks fun . Wish I could tag along .
AMEN! Those were some nice bass!
Glad you fixed that hoodie string my ocd was in overdrive lol ... good video
Hey buddy when you upgrade your yak I'd be interested in the old one like the set up you have
Good luck catch some big ones
This makes me want to go fish some creeks after work today.
First tournament? Congratulations on sixth place. Good luck in the future.
John did some major damage in this tourney!
Love it
That’s an awesome day for sure
Well done!! All good!!
Nice bass great video keep them coming
First tourney 6th place!, not bad brother John!!
Great vid!! Keep’em coming
A couple of last ditch culls= always good! :0) Enjoyed it!
Look like you had a blast! Great video and love the beard😍
well thank you
Oh I see a bass going down the bank and I"m stuck. Welcome to my world.
Those were some nice sized fish. Good going.
Excellent brother!
great creek video.
nice fish BTW that 3.6 was a CHUNKER!!
I like you are doing my dream job so I’m not always the first to the comments. Good job though! Keep lovin’ what you do!
You fish Rhea co alot! ive caught a few in that creek, but never as big as those. Whats your secret? lol
Just keep trying
Great video as usual John
You should try throwing a chatterbait around some while bass fishing
awsome bass hope you win the tourney
Great job man 🤙😎
At the end of the video I was staring at the hoodie string the whole time. 🤣🤣
That was cool to see those other fish follow your catch in. Good job & good luck. 🐟
Come on bud. Good video but you're killing me making me wait on that bizzbait video that has to be coming. I saw the Instagram post. LOL
Good video again man

man you so lucky you don't have to worry about cottonmouths here in alabama you have to be careful every step you take around creeks
I used to live and fish in Arkansas, cottonmouths were real bad there too. I live in S.E. Ky. now, no cottonmouths here, but lots of copperheads.
Nice bass bro
whats ur kayak and ur setup on the rods and gear
Great video....fyi - I know it's probably not planned, but it's uncanny how TH-cam places an ad just before your closing frames with the parting scripture passage - a minor annoyance, but if one was into conspiracies....
Great video the Lord blesses you more all the time
Nice largemouths
I Love to watch them swim off like that,I also like to see them swim in grease
Nice job
great video
The paddle length chart says for your height the paddle should be 20 yards long. I'm surprised you got one that size for $70 .
A 60 foot paddle?
@@christopherjames9843 It's not an exact number give or take a few inches, it's probably close enough.
Did the first bass you caught in the video have a tag in it?
maybe, im not sure what that was, i didnt see it when i caught it
Love ur vids man
Question for ya bro... I've watched for a while and I've seen the transition, what tips for talking to the camera etc would you have?? Being new to the tube its still a little cringy for me lol
you have to just keep doing it, act like there is someone standing there listening to you
@@CreekFishingAdventures does it make it a little easier when in public?
