    My man, if you want to catch Shoal bass get yourself down to the Flint river, in Upson Co, and hook up with Allen Ragsdale. Allen is the Shoalie king in Mid-GA!!

      AYO, cool seeing you commenting on one of my favorite fishing channels. You know besides yours and LOJO'S. BUT, tell me what exactly is a shoal bass. They just look like smallmouth to me. What is the difference. I know you catch them quite a bit.

    My brother in law and I fish the Upper Flint River and catch some nice size Shoulies. We even have a couple that has been mounted. We kayak down to the shoals, get out and wade and fish. Love the videos and the verses at the end. Keep them coming. God bless.

    John because of watching you creek fishing and expanding to other venues I got excited to fish again. Out of it for 30 years caught my first bass 3 lbs few weeks ago 19 inches. Would have fished more but I have a bad back but I will fish again thanks John and the scriptures are great.

    I like that you care a lot for local fish populations. Diversity is really important and fisherman should always care for it and support the authorities with some social workhours. Big thumbs up for showing us some new species!

      Hard. Like a smallmouth. They only live in rivers and creeks and spend almost all their time around rocky shoals with fast current, so they get strong for their size.

    @bobdixon532 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Several comments about anchors, and stake poles. Those power poles are extremely expensive, but you are losing casts and fighting too hard by not being able to anchor or stake yourself out so you can fish the good looking spots.

    Kill all the spots in shoal bass water. They’re going to extirpate Georgia of chattahoochee bass and shoal bass before too long. Cool that you got both pure species in the same float. Both fish are in dire shape because of Alabama bass introduction and human development. Catch them while you can and promote conservation for them please.
