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!
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
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!
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!
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
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.
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!
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.
thank you very much , i moved to maryville TN a month ago , i guess it will take a bit time to find fishing spots here since i am new comer , never the less love your fishing content :) good luck
The coloration on these Smallmouth were extraordinary! The gplds and bronzes were exceptionally well defined. The dark one you caught looked as if it were coming out of spawning dress. They, like Rock Bass tend to blacken on their bellies during spawning season. Nice day for you!
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.
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.
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
Great fishing , like your info on what you using and where you are locating fish . And here I thought we had too much rain to catch anything . You may want to fish one of Cherokee's trout tournament's , that would make a great video . By Will
Nice bass! I fly fish for trout nearly exclusively now but when I was young I did it all! Being a carpenter I often times still had my hammer hoop on my belt when stopping to fish after work and found it was great for putting your rod handle in to hold it while you unhook a big one or tie on lures! The metal type hoop is best, few bucks lasts years.
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 👍 👊.
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.
Now you're talking my type of fishing brother! Smallies like the cool swifter water. That dark one is how alot of them look here in Michigan. Next time, head back up there with a fly rod and go after them.
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.
"Fish on" my new stolen expression! But these videos motivated me to start fishing again, and today I caught 3 more bass (missed 2 nice ones) on the Nikko Hellgrammite - now my "go to lure."
I just kept saying, "Oh WOW!" over and over while watching this. FANTASTIC video!! Those Smallmouth are what dreams are made of. Thanks John. Hey - What's the make and model of the multi-tool you're liking and using these days? I'm in the market for a new one.
Dude, the hellgrammite king strikes again! Great shots ! Way to go john.Wish I were there.
Your smallmouth videos are by far my favorite!! 👍👍
Nothing better than smallie fishing in streams like that.
Amen
"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
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!

Your awesome!
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
Just ordered some hellgrammites using creek10. Can’t wait.
Excellent fishing. I love this kind of fishing more than any other kind.
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!
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!
Those are the days that keep us coming out !
I’ve been watching since the heat & air days. This is by far my favorite video of all time. Awesome job young man!
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!
Nothing better then smallmouth fishing! Just started a smallmouth bass tank the coolest fish I have ever had! The vids are awesome!
Nothing like a good day of smallmouth fishing - I fish Lake Erie and the smallmouth fishing there can be incredible
Enjoyed how happy u get everytime u catch a fish, small or large.
Scenery is beautiful! The fishing is hot today, cool creek video ! Thanks for taking me along!
That hellgrammite seems to be your go to all around lure. After watching this video, I can see why.
Beautiful fish buddy :)..Another awesome video... thank you For mentioning me in the video :)
Nothing fights like a Small Mouth pound for pound. 🎣 Thanks for Sharing your fishing 🎣 trip, nice fishing hole.
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
Man those brown bass were packed in that spot. Good vid John
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.
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
Wading butt deep water usually pays off! Love all the river smallie fishing, glad you slayed em
"I may becoming a smallmouth fanatic" YES!
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.
Man, am I jealous! Beautiful day, gorgeous water, and super scrappy smallies. It doesn't get any better - that's fishing heaven.
Love your videos so much, they are my favorite TH-cam notification I get🙏
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 were some nice smallies, to me the trout were just icing on the cake....mmmm fish cake... Thanks for sharing John. God bless.
I love how excited you get dude... reminds me of myself haha! Nice fishing today brother. Them smallies were huge!
Good idea putting the glasses over the camera lens! That was cool. What an awesome place man. Love it.
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.
NOHING! fights like a good Smallmouth Bass !! Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
So awesome! Gotta watch every minute and every ad to make sure you get the most support as possible!
That last one was a great way to end out a video. That was one heck of a day of fishing.
So fun to watch you fish. What a great day you had!
Amen! Wow John those were quality bronze backs! Looks like a good place to Kayak.
Brother, you WORE them OUT!!! Awesome day of fishing! God bless you!!!
thank you very much , i moved to maryville TN a month ago , i guess it will take a bit time to find fishing spots here since i am new comer , never the less love your fishing content :) good luck
I love all your videos John but this one has to be my all-time favorite!
im waiting for spring this year and plan to go back there and try to get on them again

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.

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.
@@arewethebadies Lew's blamed it on Covid or something. Jeez, Covid got people outside fishing. Makes no sense.
Great video as always man! I keep catching dadgum gar on the hellgrammite in my local creek lol.
I always wanted to catch a smallmouth and a rainbow tout! Maybe someday.... Enjoyed this very much, Thank you!
Great video John,really enjoyed the beautiful smallmouth in a beautiful creek!

I have a loop but the water was over my waste

Are used to carry a Gerber but now I just carry a PIscifun aluminum pliers. pliers are so much lighter to carry my bag
Amazing video my man!!
