Why did they drop him? I am not impressed with Lew's products. John seems like a honest guy that is straight forward and tells the truth. A man of Character scares companies, they might give an honest assessment of their product.
Psh... Lews lost me. I have had two brand new spinning reels crap out on me in just the last year. The bail system fails on them and the bail won't stay open. It happened on one so I returned it, bought a more expensive one and it did the same thing in less than 6 months. I'm using Pfluger and Diawa right now. Might try some others.
Nice catches. Have yet to catch my first smallmouth. As soon as I can get my hands on those Nikko Hellgrammites, hopefully I can land me some bass. Those trout would've been for some good eatin' though. Small filets, but good fish.
One of THE best smallmouth videos I've seen in a good while. Maybe this year we can do some fishing together. Right now I'm trying to get a turkey hunt on video, but boy it has been tough on me this year. Great job John.
Looks like the smallies were just waiting for you. Tennessee creeks are beautiful. Love the excitement which comes with every catch. Videos are top-notch
Man, ya gotta come up to KY and hit the Bass with me on the creeks!! It will be some great content for the channel. Great video man, glad things are warming up!
It renews my faith when good things happen to good people! Great video John, those were some nice fish. Only thing that could make that video better was me on the other side of the water pulling them in as well. Keep them coming sir. That is one of my favorite passages by the way!
Here is Arkansas, the Hellgramite is a smallmouth favorite, too. I’ve also had great luck on black hair (marabou) jigs. I tie my own but they are pretty easy to find. Seem to get bit sometimes when nothing else will. Something to try sometime. Great videos and love the Scriptures.
If you ever get over to eastern Oklahoma, try Sallisaw Creek in Adair and Sequoyah counties or the upper Illinois River above Ten Killer lake. Both streams are excellent for multi species panfish and catfish.
I bet someone makes a circular polarized lens for the type of camera you're using. It would help cut the reflection from the water just like your polarized fishing glasses.
Really enjoyed the video my friend those are some nice fish I agree I could get hooked on catching those myself very beautiful fish and very strong fighting fun to catch take care of yourself catch you later your friend Billy Simmons
I've always heard the Elkhork Creek is one of the best Smallmouth waters in Kentucky. It starts with South Elkhorn Creek and flows west by north west, by Gerogetown and Frankfort, changing into the North Elkhorn Creek and finally Elkhorn Creek before it empties into the Kentucky River. I've been wanting to give it a try for years. You might want to check it out yourself.
Oh oh oh he missed it. Even my wife liked that one...I do like catching anything biting but...wading for smallies YES SIR!!! Nice largemouth too brother man. Love the color difference spot to spot, fish to fish. Great call going back downstream. Thanks for sharing John
Your videos are an inspiration to me here in Northern Va. They also make me incredibly jealous! Our filthy, brown, polluted fisheries are depleted and ultra educated. Even north west Va and upper mid west Va which are rural along the mountains. I have driven almost 2hr to find bronze backs this year and still have had little luck. Getting so frustrated, living vicariously through you and your awesome fishing adventures. Never forget how blessed you are in where you live! I basically live in hell, in the suburbs out side DC. Plenty of water, most often brown, polluted, super pressured, depleted of game fish, expensive boats basically required. It just sucks all around. It was so much better 30 years ago when I was a kid here, even then your area was much healthier but we still had fish back then before the cleaners moved in..... Keep up the good work for the rest of us! Your awesome!
Well I'm jealous 😕. The Nikko hellgramites i ordered just came in and I picked up some wire leaders. I'm not losing anymore to the the pickerel lol. Great video as always John 👍 👊.
If you did not have this on video, I would not believe your story about this day! Every time I want to go out it rains and floods again here where I am located in TN as well. I am midway between Memphis and Nashville on the Tennessee River. Your videos have me pumped to get back out there!
I would absolutely love to fish at the places you do, very beautiful creeks. Seems like there are so many options there to fish. Where I'm from we have nothing to offer but a Dark color River and a Reservoir which is very difficult to catch fish in. This was a great Video your an amazing Fisherman.
Dude, the hellgrammite king strikes again! Great shots ! Way to go john.Wish I were there.
"It's a ... Trouuuut, really don't wanna catch trout... I mean, not really..." Haha fishing the species! Love to see it!
😆 That was good
Just ordered some hellgrammites using creek10. Can’t wait.
Nothing better than smallie fishing in streams like that.
Amen
That hellgrammite seems to be your go to all around lure. After watching this video, I can see why.
Your smallmouth videos are by far my favorite!! 👍👍
Hopefully Lew's gets their act together and gets John back in the fold.
Why did they drop him? I am not impressed with Lew's products. John seems like a honest guy that is straight forward and tells the truth. A man of Character scares companies, they might give an honest assessment of their product.
I'm curious as well.

@@arewethebadies Lew's blamed it on Covid or something. Jeez, Covid got people outside fishing. Makes no sense.
That is a dream smallie day! I can't wait to walk back in the creeks again. Just starting to get to that temp now here in VA!
Yes, you have been bitten by the small mouth bass bug, it's a good thing. Way to go great video.
Excellent fishing. I love this kind of fishing more than any other kind.
Nice catches. Have yet to catch my first smallmouth. As soon as I can get my hands on those Nikko Hellgrammites, hopefully I can land me some bass.
Those trout would've been for some good eatin' though. Small filets, but good fish.
Beautiful fish buddy :)..Another awesome video... thank you For mentioning me in the video :)
Oh my goodness!!! Really fun video. I'm glad you got to catch so many nice fish, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery almost as much. Thanks!
One of THE best smallmouth videos I've seen in a good while. Maybe this year we can do some fishing together. Right now I'm trying to get a turkey hunt on video, but boy it has been tough on me this year. Great job John.

I can't handle it anymore I'm going right now
"You're killin' me, Small-Jaws..." *grin*
I love how excited you get dude... reminds me of myself haha! Nice fishing today brother. Them smallies were huge!
Those are the days that keep us coming out !
Man, ya gotta come up to KY and hit the Bass with me on the creeks!! It will be some great content for the channel. Great video man, glad things are warming up!
Man those brown bass were packed in that spot. Good vid John
Dang!! That was fun!! One more cast, LOL
Good idea putting the glasses over the camera lens! That was cool. What an awesome place man. Love it.
Enjoyed how happy u get everytime u catch a fish, small or large.
It renews my faith when good things happen to good people! Great video John, those were some nice fish. Only thing that could make that video better was me on the other side of the water pulling them in as well. Keep them coming sir. That is one of my favorite passages by the way!
I’ve been watching since the heat & air days. This is by far my favorite video of all time. Awesome job young man!
Nothing like a good day of smallmouth fishing - I fish Lake Erie and the smallmouth fishing there can be incredible
NOHING! fights like a good Smallmouth Bass !! Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
John, you are killing it lately!
Congrats, brother
Nothing fights like a Small Mouth pound for pound. 🎣 Thanks for Sharing your fishing 🎣 trip, nice fishing hole.
Here is Arkansas, the Hellgramite is a smallmouth favorite, too. I’ve also had great luck on black hair (marabou) jigs. I tie my own but they are pretty easy to find. Seem to get bit sometimes when nothing else will. Something to try sometime. Great videos and love the Scriptures.
Love your videos so much, they are my favorite TH-cam notification I get🙏
So awesome! Gotta watch every minute and every ad to make sure you get the most support as possible!
Nice Trout John! Great eating. Clear clean water, excellent. Pretty Large Mouth & Small Mouth. 🎣
If you ever get over to eastern Oklahoma, try Sallisaw Creek in Adair and Sequoyah counties or the upper Illinois River above Ten Killer lake. Both streams are excellent for multi species panfish and catfish.
I always wanted to catch a smallmouth and a rainbow tout! Maybe someday.... Enjoyed this very much, Thank you!
Man those were some nice smallies, to me the trout were just icing on the cake....mmmm fish cake... Thanks for sharing John. God bless.
I bet someone makes a circular polarized lens for the type of camera you're using. It would help cut the reflection from the water just like your polarized fishing glasses.
Thx for showing the trick with the polar glasses. I didnt think of that. Beautifull stream and what a nice spring time day. Greets from germany
That kind of day of fishing is what i hope Heaven is like.
Amen
Really enjoyed the video my friend those are some nice fish I agree I could get hooked on catching those myself very beautiful fish and very strong fighting fun to catch take care of yourself catch you later your friend Billy Simmons
Nothing better then smallmouth fishing! Just started a smallmouth bass tank the coolest fish I have ever had! The vids are awesome!
I've days like that good job.There trying to stay out if that fast moving water.
OOOHH! I know where that's at! My youngest son and I camped there for his 9th birthday this year.
What creek was this? I live in the Cherokee national forest, Coker Creek to be specific and this looks very familiar but I cannot place it.
Zu think that is fun ,try a. 9 ft 5-6 or 7 at. Fly rod and black woolybuggers
Small mouth and steelhead fight like none other. I remember catching 3-4lbs small mouth as a kid using all my arm strength to get them in.
Very nice smallies Thanks for the video 👍👃👃
Spotted Bass, not a Largemouth. Great video!
excelent vid keep up the good work.cant wait to come to usa next year,,,,uk
😂😊Nice job catching fish what a dream job😅
You were on the small mouth today. Enjoyed watching
Great day John it's about time LOL all of us could use those once in awhile
I’m sorry, how can anyone “thumbs down” this video?
Come & get me in Pikeville Ky. & lets go wading in the Russell Fork.
Trout are tasty, Good Job.
You had the touch,,,I'm chartreuse with envy.....
Those are some chunks! As always great video brother
Fishing is usually better going upstream, presenting your lure naturally as it is in the down stream current.
I live watching your videos do you eat fish
Just asking
That might have been a small musky ,I don’t know?
That's a great day of fishing. I see you have 1 dislike I'm sure he's a hater for sure.
I've been to this place several time where did u enter the creek? Before or after u go over the railroad tracks?
What hook do you use for the hellgramite? Please lmk what's best.
i used to fish that creek for trout years ago but never caught any small mouth !
Nice UL stream fishing. Thanks for sharing.
Those Smallies are so ANGRY 😠 LoL Love um !!
Nikko hellgrammite + Nikko craw = a good day on a river
dont go fishing in the deep south like that with all them gators lol. great videos tho
I love those great smallmouth days!

Now that was how to show that you never give up 👍👍
What kind of reel where u using in this video and where did u get it
That looks like the creek by the shooting range.
Where can I get me some of those hellgramites or however you spell it lol
Go on Amazon they are called nikko helgramites
The natural color works very well and so does obsidian
I appreciate it
Don’t you just hate it John, great video
Nice smallmouth .. Luv the vids
john how do you rig your haglament lures
can i come there and keep all the trout!!!??
Oh oh oh he missed it. Even my wife liked that one...I do like catching anything biting but...wading for smallies YES SIR!!! Nice largemouth too brother man. Love the color difference spot to spot, fish to fish. Great call going back downstream. Thanks for sharing John

Another Great Video! Im glad its warming back up and the creek fish are biting.
TH-cam only let me hit the like button once 😔
I like the small mouth videos the best.
I used to fish 🐟 alot when I was younger and really enjoy watching your videos. How much does the orange old town kayak cost? Thinking about one.
I think they are 2200
Cool looking place good luck
Love to go fishing with you brother
Well I'm jealous 😕. The Nikko hellgramites i ordered just came in and I picked up some wire leaders. I'm not losing anymore to the the pickerel lol. Great video as always John 👍 👊.
