    Id be really interested to see your kayak set up, any sort of modifications you've made to any of them and it would be helpful to hear why as well. As a new kayak angler I'm curious about that sort of thing. I'm constantly watching the way you paddle and position your kayak and that's been really helpful

    @ 10:30 one the most relaxing things I've ever seen , is to sit in the river with a chair like that, didn't know those existed , thank you !

    Beautiful scenery! So nice to see the nature that God has created for us. Thank you so much for doing this. Between you and Kayak catfish, I get to go fishing and also see the beautiful state of Tennessee, that I love so much! I subscribed to your channel when Justin dumped his Kayak fishing with you, and I am definitely not disappointed! I try to watch all your videos! I love it. Keep the lines tight buddy!❤ And God bless with safe travels.

    I know you usually don't tell where you're at. And when you do I appreciate it. It gives me ideas on where to catch those smallies. My favorite fish. Thanks again sir. I'm 63 and don't have many times left. Nice to be able to find a good place to go. I watch all your videos and have all your favorite baits. Big fan. Live in Cleveland and trying to upgrade to a peddle drive.

  • @RobC9562
    @RobC9562 ปีที่แล้ว

    The melody in the beginning sounded a little like Amazing Grace at first, which is a perfect theme for this video!
    Especially coming from the last two vids/experiences.
    Abundant grace with the double!

  • @blastbeetb.3045
    @blastbeetb.3045 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well I'm glad you got on some fish in Buffalo River. It's only about 35 to 40 mins from my house here in NW AL. That double up on the topwater was awesome. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. 👊👍

    Beautiful float. Can't pick a better spot to eat lunch! Do you think you'd have gotten so into kayak fishing if Old Town hadn't sent you that free kayak way back when? Love to see the evolution of the channel.

  • @269trdalton
    @269trdalton ปีที่แล้ว

    You really need an anchor on the back. I fish creeks and rivers with current. The anchor allows you to stop anywhere and fish spots that you usually float past. I love mine😊

  • @grantw6070
    @grantw6070 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Switch out the mono to braid line for your top water on buzz baits. You either need a rod with backbone to get the hook to penetrate or you need line that doesn’t stretch. When I fish top water baits that have treble hooks I back down on my hook set power when using braid.

    • @ronaldshank7589
      @ronaldshank7589 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. Too soft of a Rod, plus that old stretchy monofilament has definitely cost plenty of fishermen some great fish!!!

  • @Yellowhammer_Kayak_Anglers
    @Yellowhammer_Kayak_Anglers ปีที่แล้ว

  • @WaterfallWanderer
    @WaterfallWanderer ปีที่แล้ว

    How neat would it be to double up like that during one of the Kayak tournaments you fish! Awesome series man I hate that some of the spots didn’t pan out on account of weather and all but it’s all part of it just another reason to revisit it for another attempt in the future. Keep up the great work!

    • @markgray8360
      @markgray8360 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Happened once to me 35 years ago! Two largemouth on a number 7 Rapala countdown, gold color, 9 or 10 inchers, but was a surprising sight! Really felt weird with two fish trying to swim different directions!!

    @tennesseecreekangler9660 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like an amazing trip! Several quality fish, too! I haven't made it out to the Buffalo yet this year, but I have hit the Red a few times and the South Fork looks a lot like that. Gotta love the Tennessee bronze!

    Think ya shoulda have stuck with that hellgermite longer in beginning stretch . Smallies love the old hellgermite 😂 I was wondering where net was and remembered u lost it . I bet that river full of nice catfish too. I bet some of them holes throwing cut bait you would pull out some hammers . That’s what I do with creek chubs and fall fish

  • @harrywilliams2930

    What a beautiful river John, and what an epic catch with the double up. Seems like you really had some great calm weather to play in as well. The more I watch of your content the more I envy what you do sir. Keep the great videos coming and I can't wait to see whats next.

  • @arrestor47
    @arrestor47 ปีที่แล้ว

    As always I enjoyed your show. Something I find odd is in watching all the fishing 1 vids. all the creators seem to forget nets. This time I understand you lost in when you turned over, but still it was thing you forgot at the tackle box. I have done it myself , After much thought I think I understand. If you forget a rod, reel, or bait you have to go back home and get it. I guess the net is the one thing you forget that you just say darn well I guess I can still make it without a net. Lol, yes I am older and think too much. Keep up the great content.

  • @mikeboyce584

  • @shephusted2714
    @shephusted2714 ปีที่แล้ว

    the double up was classic! almost the perfect small river/big creek - some solid fish, good lure selection - the only thing i would do different is fish more of the fast water - easy to say though - overall a great mess o smallies and the thing is you know there are some giants in these kind of places - try some deep diving craw cranks #bomber hellbender try the snake lures - they work and catch the big ones - think about getting some graphite blanks and building a rod or two over the fall/winter #fenwick --- do revisit this place - a gem

    Trying to get a friend into kayak fishing, he is in Columbia, the Duck and Buffalo I believe are close to him, any suggestions? Next time in middle Ga, try the Oculmugee River, instead of the Flint, very good fishery also for Sholies.

    @julieholmes9704 ปีที่แล้ว

    You need to schedule this exact trip right around Memorial Day of next year! Weekday of course. In th shoal areas you can pretty much reach in and pick them up. Stay overnight then do the 10min en the next day. It gets kind of stupid.
