I grew up fishing creeks like this in N Ky with my best friend John. He was a little older than me & he is the best fisherman i have ever known. The hours we spent wading these creeks, from one hole to another, never knowing what you might catch was so special. We once found a creek that took a long hike to get to from the road, but it was full of smallest. As we were coming back to the car with a stringer full of nice smallest, we passed by a junkyard where one of the employees or owner was out. He stopped us & asked where did we catch them. We told him about the creek down a ways from the yard. He looked incredulous! He had no idea that there was a creek down there.
I grew up fishing on creeks just like this in North Arkansas.. doesn't get much better than that! Find a live crawdad and throw him on your hook for those really tough bites, the beast will come out and smack it before the others!
I love your genuine joy every time you land a fish and your appreciation for other fish species that we just take for granted. There's so much beauty in the diversity of fish; it's on us to simply see it.
I am 6feet 7 inches tall and was a very good basketball player but dude I will never watch another NBA game as long as I live !!!!!!!!!! Love your vids but I can't stomach the NBA ever again until something major changes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck fishing God Bless
My son asked me if I could teach him to fish because he watched another video of yours and said he wanted to learn. Proud father moment, so ty for all your videos from All of us.
@@hypocrnsnk Because it is a fun game. I love all the big 4. Especially baseball. Not so enamored with the politics being injected into the games right now....
Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for taking the time to show us each fish that you catch. Some of the bass are really nice looking fish and when you are catching the small fish like green sunfish and others like that are so pretty. They look like the kind you would find in an aquarium. I love the multi-colored ones with different colored fins. It's almost as much fun as actually being along with you. Happy fishing.
Man that water looked so clear and beautiful. God's county is amazing! It's been raining so much near me it feels like I haven't seen clear water in weeks haha. Thanks so much for the sub as well! Tickled me to death to see that notification. It really means a lot. Truly thanks for that!
Man I live and fish so close to you and I love your videos and how you share your faith openly in them. It’s my dream to meet up and fish some of your spots with you one day lol keep up the videos man!
What a gorgeous creek! The water quality there must be excellent, just like some of the creeks I fish here. Great looking smallmouth bass, and that giant Redeye was the icing on the cake! Great video John.
Wow, What a special creek, beautiful. Another awesome upload. Keep up the great work. I used to really enjoy basketball too. They've managed to make it to political to enjoy anymore. Oh well, more time to fish now. :-)
Thanks and double thanks for these videos. Decades ago had relatives in the Ozarks and still some on the NC Tennessee border. Watching you catch those smallies, rock bass and bream really brings back memories. Love in S.Ms. and there are some good spot bass wade fishing places here but it’s usually very tough going and thick underbrush. The mid south hill country , its some of the best wade fishing out there! Just beautiful streams. Thanks for being a kind agreeable man!
JOHN THAT IS AN AMAZING CREEK!!!!!! What a great variety of fish and they all seemed to be very healthy. I enjoyed seeing you use the swim bait as well as the Hellgrammite. Great video and thanks for the journey. God Bless and Go KATS!!!!!!!
You are so fortunate to have such beautiful creeks and streams in Tennessee. Beautiful smallmouth water. Now I need to get some swim baits and helgrammites. There is not a more beautiful or feisty fish than a steam smallie. You lucky dawg!
Catch like 3-4 of those Rock Bass, take 'em home, and ya got dinner! I'll bet they're good eatin'. I remember my first time of having Largemouth Bass for dinner. Other than missing a few small bones when cleaning the Bass, it sure was good to eat!
John, I’m at the first fish and commenting. This place is special and beautiful. The fish look healthy and strong. If you zero your scale with the gripper attached you will have the fish’s true weight. What do you wear for wading shoes? I notice you also wear socks is there a reason why and are they special for the task. I am a shore fisher and finding the right shoes for the job has always been an issue. You just mentioned your polarized glasses what brand and color do you use?
John the take a kid fishing was great. Doing that once a month in a type of drawing after making a merch purchase could blow this channel up. Great vid and AMAZING water. God Bless
Rock Bass are a highly-underrated fish to catch, there’s a local lake that has a good population of them and I think they’re really fun. They’re like a super-aggressive bluegill with a bigger mouth, so they can eat all kinds of stuff. An ultralight setup and a good rock bass bite, WOOO! Haha
I caught a 6-7 pound Smallmouth late afternoon in central Va. in the summer in '98 under an overpass route bridge. There were no stores open in this area to weigh/validate it, and I had no state fishing license. I released it. I KNEW this was a trophy fish at least if not a state record. I released him. All with a 5/8ths weight Rooster tail spinner, yellow or red bodied with the silver/chrome blade..incredible..Robert at 68 in Arizona.
That first smallie was a chunk . I thought it was 4 lbs by looking. That is a beautiful creek. those huge rocks in the shade and the creek beach is fantastic. Great job you made for yourself there. Just keep beans, asparagus, butter , oil, eggs and some flour and you take your meal home every day.
I'm went fishing today for about an hour and 15 minutes using about the same setup that you were but could only get bites no fish. (Lews ultra light set up) used three different baits. Nice video John Glad to see somebody can catch fish. I'm going tomorrow weather's been real nice here but,Waters real low. Going to try reservoir, pond and another Creek tomorrow.
Aye jon i watched alot of fisher i watch monster mike deer meat catch em all but none those guys are like you your one of a kind fisher brother u find the best spots u explain some the right way stay blessed jon
Looks like some good fishing bro.watching you had made me decide I need to grab my gear and head to my local stream for some rock and smallmouth bass.good old fashioned water shoes,swim trunks and a small waist pack packed with a few lures.back to basics I say.
Always love everyone of your videos and personally you have undoubtedly the best fishing videos on the web because you are so real, simple and have not gotten so big that you do not respond and that is priceless! I am jealous of the places you get to go as they are so pristine and beautiful as I am stuck in the Rockies west of Denver and this summer has been the driest in 18 years and I have never seen weeds die not to mention there is no fishing here other than the nasty trout that nobody eats....can not wait to get beck to your neck of the woods which is definitely Gods country for many reasons!! One last comment since you did not allow on the last one with the two young boys....I think it is so incredibly commendable that you take the time to take youth fishing as that is one of the greatest lessons for the youth is to get out in nature and learn to fish and you are so patient with them it is AWESOME! Give a person a fish and they eat for the day but teach a person to fish and they eat for life(paraphrased of course)!! Keep them coming as I never miss one!
Try this on for size (So to speak):Filleted Small mouth Bass (Or Largemouth Bass), some small boiled potatoes, some Green Beans, some Milk, and for dessert:A nice-sized slice of Apple pie with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream!
Nice fish! I live in Nashville and have fished a ton of creeks right outside of it! I have a ton of luck with Strike Kings rage craw and the coffee tube, and usually catch 2-3 lbs smallies with those lures. Smaller ones too, obviously. Just thought I would share. God Bless
My go to lure is zoom speed craw weightless with hook ran thru , easy hooksets. , can buzz it sorta has whopper plopper action on top or you can let it drift down in the faster current at the head of deep stretches
This place looks like heaven to me. A creek that goes on forever, full of fish...
"Keep living the American Dream Playa" !!!
I grew up fishing creeks like this in N Ky with my best friend John.

We are Blessed to live in such a Beautiful Country & to have the Freedom to pursue the things we love & enjoy. Good video.

My 8 year old granddaughter said poppa that's a biiiiig fish. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing John.
God bless
2:58 State of Tennessee Bureau of Tourism/Postcard moment. This is my favorite UA-cam fishing channel, by the way.
thanks
When those leaches get on your legs ,them is perfect rock bass bait
Wear ladies hose to keep ticks and leaches from attaching.
3:32 What a NICE smallie for a creek that size. 13:23 Giant Rock Bass. That's quite a creek!
I love smallish! They fight all the way to the net. You’re speaking my language. Listen to those Cicadas.
I love your genuine joy every time you land a fish and your appreciation for other fish species that we just take for granted. There's so much beauty in the diversity of fish; it's on us to simply see it.
I am 6feet 7 inches tall and was a very good basketball player but dude I will never watch another NBA game as long as I live !!!!!!!!!! Love your vids but I can't stomach the NBA ever again until something major changes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck fishing God Bless
Understandable, im can put up with a lot but man its getting so aggravating
People watch sports as an escape. At least for me I don't want to see political statements when I turn on a game.
I don’t even get the grand old opry until Wednesday, but what’s wrong with the nba?
@Creek Fishing Adventures you should fish Indian creek in Hardin County in Savannah tn great all around fishing.
My son asked me if I could teach him to fish because he watched another video of yours and said he wanted to learn. Proud father moment, so ty for all your videos from All of us.
Videos like this should come with a warning, "A sudden urge may overcome you and an uncontrollably need to go out creek fishing"
Catching big fish is fun,but so is catching a bunch of Quality fish like you did today,nice day fishing John !
nothing better than walking a creek and fishing! Thanks for the video man!
I totally agree!
This was a beautiful creek. Love the water color, and that first smally was impressive.
Gotta love it when the first fish of the day starts ripping drag!
that will get your heart going
These fish are beautiful, congratulations fisherman your fishing was very good, this lake is incredible.
Hug and good fishing!👍🎣
Woooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeee what a start!! HUGE smallmouth!!!
I would rather watch fishing than NBA play-offs.
Definitely. No politics in fishing. Too much politics in pro sports.
@@Lee_Lee1776 shhhhhh, please don't give em any more ideas. Very few things I can watch anymore due to politics.
why do people care so much about others putting a ball in a circle?
Sparrow415 to BKK it’s a challenge to be the best at it. Like any sport
@@hypocrnsnk Because it is a fun game. I love all the big 4. Especially baseball. Not so enamored with the politics being injected into the games right now....

That first smallie was a BEAST!
Great scenery and very clear water great fish great video

Thanks for sharing your "living the dream" moments with us. And thanks for your open and honest approach to what you're doing. Keep up the good work!
Nice smallmouth bass brother, and a real nice spot, love catching them all but smallies are my favorite, go ballistic when hooked.
Indeed all creeks are not created equal. I'm newer to fishing but all I get out of my creek is these little green panfish and bluegill
Man I live and fish so close to you and I love your videos and how you share your faith openly in them. It’s my dream to meet up and fish some of your spots with you one day lol keep up the videos man!
Watched your Tiny Popper clip where you uploaded this video while fishing that little creek, amazing. That first big 3lb bass was a nice fish.
What a gorgeous creek! The water quality there must be excellent, just like some of the creeks I fish here. Great looking smallmouth bass, and that giant Redeye was the icing on the cake! Great video John.
Yes, thanks
23:33. I love when John includes this stuff into his video's. Stuff all us guys can relate too.
Wow, What a special creek, beautiful. Another awesome upload. Keep up the great work.
I used to really enjoy basketball too. They've managed to make it to political to enjoy anymore. Oh well, more time to fish now. :-)
Slow mo gold👍 Right on John!!! Great video✝️
I fish since I was able to walk, and until today I am still amazed by how fast fish move in the water, raw power
they can turn and dart in a blink
John, great first fish.. geez. You were not kidding , what a great day!

Hey, thanks for always openly expressing your faith in every video. It’s appreciated! God bless as you wander creeks and walk the talk.
NBA ....NBA .... man those days are over ....
Awesome Fishing channel . Thanks...
You are so fortunate to have such beautiful creeks and streams in Tennessee. Beautiful smallmouth water. Now I need to get some swim baits and helgrammites. There is not a more beautiful or feisty fish than a steam smallie. You lucky dawg!
Can't believe you nailed that 3lb smaller in that creek! Awesome! Keep living your dream!
You are by far the best fisherman on you tube,.......I'm sure basketball would be the same way.
Another godsend video from our boy John may your days continue to be bless
I like rock bass, usually good water
Catch like 3-4 of those Rock Bass, take 'em home, and ya got dinner! I'll bet they're good eatin'. I remember my first time of having Largemouth Bass for dinner. Other than missing a few small bones when cleaning the Bass, it sure was good to eat!
They are the best, the size of a bluegill and the attitude of a 10 lbs largemouth fearless and fun to catch!
Love your enthusiasm. Don't ever lose it!!
John,
I’m at the first fish and commenting. This place is special and beautiful. The fish look healthy and strong. If you zero your scale with the gripper attached you will have the fish’s true weight. What do you wear for wading shoes? I notice you also wear socks is there a reason why and are they special for the task. I am a shore fisher and finding the right shoes for the job has always been an issue. You just mentioned your polarized glasses what brand and color do you use?
i wear socks just because it makes it more comfortable in the water shoes, the glasses are spider wire from walmart
Wow that was a lot of really nice Bass. Really gorgeous clear river. A wonderful fantastic video. 😊
Beautifull fishes!!! Tipp: you can put him in the net and weigh him with thre net, afterwards you take the weight of the net off.
John the take a kid fishing was great. Doing that once a month in a type of drawing after making a merch purchase could blow this channel up. Great vid and AMAZING water. God Bless
Great idea
Don't normally post comments like this but "Screw The NBA!". Now, back to fishing!
oh yeah, they drive me crazy with there politics, but i do like watching games
Creek Fishing Adventures not politics, it’s human rights
Well put
My thoughts exactly
Only Sports I’m interested in Now
That which I can participate in personally...
Love this place all the stumps and overhangs...Nice job sir
The tiger striped one at 16:15 was gorgeous.
really beautiful water. love creek fishing.
Amazing creek!
Rock Bass are a highly-underrated fish to catch, there’s a local lake that has a good population of them and I think they’re really fun. They’re like a super-aggressive bluegill with a bigger mouth, so they can eat all kinds of stuff. An ultralight setup and a good rock bass bite, WOOO! Haha
That's a good creek for a lot of stuff from what I can see of the conditions. W.n.y.
Wow what a fish to start the day with. Awesome !!!
That is a beautiful creek!!!
I've got the same Lews reel you are using today. I love it. Great reel for the price. Another good video, thank you 👍👍
What a beautiful creek! That was a great video! Thank you!
Hey brother, I am vacationing in Pennsylvania in August. I usually fish lakes but now I intend to hit some streams! Thanks for the nice video!
Beautiful fish and beautiful creek.
Nice video beautiful creek and small mouths are fun to watch
A PB always feels goods to achieve! Congrats
I caught a 6-7 pound Smallmouth late afternoon in central Va. in the summer in '98 under an overpass route bridge. There were no stores open in this area to weigh/validate it, and I had no state fishing license. I released it.

@@CreekFishingAdventures actually we did get a good rain yesterday and thank God!!

the tail on the brute was amazing
Beautiful creek and great video. I sure am jealous of that clear water! 😄
Im going to look ip this place and try fly fishing for those smallies. I do really well around Murfreesboro rivers.
You have/find the best creeks. I live in Louisville, KY and I can’t find anything like these. We have a few but nothing like these though.
Louisville's urban fishing sucks.
Very good video, nuthin like gittin out there in it like that!!!
Heck yeah bud. Great video. 🤙 Beautiful place. Definitely keep that a peaceful spot for you and your close friends. 👍👍👍
Hardcore! Beautiful creek! Nice job!
Awesome catches in super clear water!
Great video!...And a very nice looking creek!!
Love the Doritos! Great catches, some real quality fish!
Try this on for size (So to speak):Filleted Small mouth Bass (Or Largemouth Bass), some small boiled potatoes, some Green Beans, some Milk, and for dessert:A nice-sized slice of Apple pie with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream!
That feeling when C.F.A. rock bass are bigger than your own average largie. 🤣 Thanks a ton for another great video
Man I really do believe I know what area you are fishing in. I used to fish up there all of my youth. Looks like I’m going to have to go back.
The local creek I fish is stacked with rock bass that big. Schools of smallmouth too it’s awesome.
What a start
Sweet video brother, miss when my honey creek had water
Nice fish! I live in Nashville and have fished a ton of creeks right outside of it! I have a ton of luck with Strike Kings rage craw and the coffee tube, and usually catch 2-3 lbs smallies with those lures. Smaller ones too, obviously. Just thought I would share. God Bless
Awesome video good fish
I have got to get my hands on some of those TAGGERMITES!!!!
Wow the first one is awesome good boy!
I love rock bass I used to fish at a local water fall and they had some in there but now it’s closed
You have a knack for finding those killer creeks!
i try really hard
My go to lure is zoom speed craw weightless with hook ran thru , easy hooksets. , can buzz it sorta has whopper plopper action on top or you can let it drift down in the faster current at the head of deep stretches
