  • This was an incredible trip that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life!! Going up to Virginia and fishing waters I had no idea what it was going to look like or even know what I was going to catch. I was so glad I got the opportunity to enjoy this trip with Josh ‪@BASSnBEER‬ and Drew ‪@RiverBasserDrew‬ at the beautiful ‪@wesleyhodgesflyfishing8470‬ location.

    That country looks spectacular, although it’s hard to think back to the days of the civil war. Men were camped around those streams using carved lead bullets for sinkers and hopefully having a decent meal. Much respect and thank you for the content.

    Hey John! Man, you were forty minutes from my house. I’ve floated that same stretch, but never caught a musky or smallie of the size you landed! What a wonderful & rewarding adventure! Craigs Creek enters the James just above Eagle Rock. I’ve seen HUGE musky in Craigs Creek. Glad you had a successful trip.

  • @johnnyweaver1300
    @johnnyweaver1300 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Thank you John for an amazing adventure, you are right about the timing God is never too late he's always on time, with that awesome catch of a musky & that boat showing up when you needed help to land it, & the most & biggest small mouth, you can see God looking after you keeping you safe, yesterday I ordered enough yum hellagramites to get free shipping & used your discount code cannot wait to use them, those muskies I believe like bright colors, again congrats man on this adventure!🎣👍

  • @jonathanmmster
    @jonathanmmster ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a great bass! I caught my first 20 inch Smallmouth last week, trying to earn a spot on team Creek in the Knuklhed series! Also on James river, near Lynchburg, VA.

  • @shephusted2714
    @shephusted2714 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    this is where you need anchor - this type of water - consider alternative ways to fish this faster water where there are oftentimes so many more fish - drag a couple of bricks or an appropriately sized rock on a environmentally friendly cotton rope so no big deal if you get snagged and have to cut it and start over - also consider trolling a heavier spinner in paddle through sections - as usual good content and banter and some really nice fish! keep exploring! #called it you should revisit this float late summer #covert ops

    • @ronaldshank7589
      @ronaldshank7589 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was watching John fish, or at least trying to fish, but that was definitely some fast-moving water! I agree:He should have had some kind of an Anchor with him. Not sure if I would have wanted to be out on that. That just looks dangerous!

  • @JerryN856

  • @scottfrey2710
    @scottfrey2710 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow!! Can't say anything but that, John! Nice going! The Muskie was great, but it also shows all you went through before hand, with fishing a tough stretch with high, fast water and no hits..Then leaving to try another spot that was equally as high & fast with wind and cold.....But you persevered and were rewarded nicely! It does show fishing can make you work long and hard a lot of times before you get that big one! (Altho I can't beleive how many Muskies you have gotten on the Hellgramite without any steel leader!! HOW???! :-)

    • @CreekFishingAdventures
      @CreekFishingAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you ever make to the Philly area I can get you on some really good fish. Everything from smallies to muskie and snakeheads to walleye. Sat I had a 18in brown trout in the Schuylkill. The river isn't stocked but some of the streams that dump into it are. They also will naturally reproduce in the river, which is what I believed this fish to be. It has the most amazing color.

    I hooked a musky while I was out in a float tube fishing for white bass in the back waters of Caeser creek lake in Ohio, it was somewhere around 38 inches that's how wide the float tube I had at the time was and it stretched from side to side I wore it out is the only way I landed it, had it out pf the water just long enough to get the hook out before it flipped and went back in, I was using a 3 inch pearl white twister tail grub, that day was calm and the white bass were biting like crazy before the musky came along
