- The WORST Creek I Have Ever Kayaked... But could it be one of the most memorable ones. This was a creek that came out of the plateau of east Tennessee. We went into this trip knowing very little at all about it and found out it was not an easy place to kayak through.

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
It didn’t look stable. 😂
I don’t have that exact model but my crescent slips out from under me in all types of water. I butt into a boulder I didn’t see (in flat water) and I flipped! And it has the transom for a trolling motor. 😂 no way
Absolutely incredible scenery!!!! What an adventure you had on this video buddy!! Thanks for all your hard work Jon!
Thanks Seth
@@CreekFishingAdventures anytime man!!!
Now that was a creek fishing adventure! The scenery looked incredible
✋Show of hands, how many people were OOOching* helping get over the rocks?
.

*Technical term
Yep.. was shuffling my hips forward a few times trying to help 'em out!! :-)
🤚I hope he appreciates the help we gave him.
Greetings from Kansas USA. Glad you didn't lose lot of stuff or anything like that. Glad yall had a good time. I'm saving up for Kayak. :).
What a wild and crazy river ride with some wild and crazy guys !! You all will remember this trip for a lifetime. Each of you will have your selective moments, but the scenery is almost overwhelming to the mind. I think your level of tiredness will be considered well worth it once you have rested. I have only been to BSF once, many years ago, just for camping and squirrel hunting(the trees were so tall my 20 gauge couldn't knock 'em out of the tree tops). We went in at the McCreary Co., Ky. side. Thanks John for this video which profiles one of a few Wild rivers left, and just how beautiful our part of the world is ! Always be safe ! Pap Blevins
There are a lot of streams in that area I want to explore more
Our heatwave here in Arkansas will end next week. Then more fishing. Only get a cupple hrs in morning now
This would be the perfect place to film a movie about about a bloodthirsty grizzly bear preying on 3 kayakers . Just saying .
Too old for that now but enjoy watching!
That River is pretty loud, makes it hard to hear the banjo music!
There is no Grizzly bears in Tennessee there black bears
On coccaine.
When do we do that again John enjoyed the video. Thanks
With John Dalton played by Burt Reynolds...
Greetings from Costa Rica
Three young men, living the good life. You are blessed, even on a hard day on the water. Living the dream.
Great video John the kayaking was get to watch. Really enjoyed this video Thanks!! from Drought stricken South Texas
I use to watch this channel for the fishing, not much fishing any more, more kayaking than fishing?
and I love it
John i don't think i have ever seen you so worn out.
I was dead
Well it was good to see Alex and Josh again. The place looked amazing, and the fish were exciting and often it seemed. But it did look a little scary at times for sure. But overall, this was an eventful and fun video to watch, and I could only imagine what it was like for real. Thank you for bringing us on this amazing journey, and next time bring some arm floaties for Alex....LOL just kidding. GOD BLESS AND GO KATS!!!!!!!!!!
Dude I've rewatched this part a bunch now. 9:10 😂 That noise you made 😂 lol! I'm laughing with you. Man you TOOK off down that chute. That thing about swept your kayak out from under you. Man that was great. 😂😂 Lol
Okay ... I’ve watched all three perspectives. Epic is all I can say. Tough and exhausting adventures with no death = epic.
I'm guessing this is the Obed? That is gnarly...you all should do a Big South Fork 2-3 day fish and float sometime...now that would be a adventure.
I noticed when I was up there in the mountains the rapids are sometimes impossible bc of the elevation change. My river is flatter so it's different. Going up I mean. You can go down unless it's like a waterfall of course.
There is no problem eating 2400 calories when you just burned 4000, fun day John, thanks for sharing.
John. What lures did you primarily use? Did yiu have to change lures often? How long without a bite do you go before changing lures typically?
That was totally nuts! Gorgeous, but CRAZY! Not for me but it was amazing to see the handiwork of God even on video. In person that must have been breathtaking. You definitely will never forget this one! Be Blessed and please stay safe!
Amazing video! Lots of nice bass and beautiful scenery. Great work Jon!!
Beautiful place to be. Would love to do a camping float through there
What an amazing trip. You all had a great but rough day for sure. I guessed right Alex would flip at least once and hope he finally got to poop...LOL
This is probably in my top 10 CFA videos of all time! Loved it! You definitely looked whooped by the end..
You gotta paddle through those rough sections! Paddling is the only thing keeping you headed where you want to go. Same with coming in on a wave in the surf, don't stop! There might be a section of the hooch that reminds me a bit of this!
Yeah that works but there were so many big boulders right in the path. Didn’t want to ruin or lose more stuff
It is really hard to judge how rough the water is from video. As rough as it looked, I would really like to try this section.
Ohhh...the scenery came through alright! Trust me Bro, it came through Beautifully! 😁
Like I said before.. don’t mind the rapids but not with all my gear!😳🤣 great vid!
Thanks for including the area where you were, but you include the river's name.
Looks like ya'll had a hell of a time but it was great to see ya'll exploring something I would never be able to. Great video!
That is so awesome thank you for sharing the beautiful country you all are so blessed
I watch lots of fishing vids and yours I seem to watch the whole way through great job keep it up
Is that a rock y'all went over on the right? That would make sense. Oh yeah you just said that.
Halfway thru the video and keep wanting to say the bigger fish might be in the grasses . Wild is good long as nobody gets hurt , big fun .
Can you camp out on the river? You guys missed a lot of rapid fishing because of the flow and maybe you had to edit a lot of it out.
this is my home creek... literally in my back yard... you were less than 2 miles from my house right there
Since I know my vehicle is good to go now I can make a trip up there sometime!! It did great in the mountains.
Thanks for sharing this one brother.
Couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
Great video. Reminds me of all the sore backs dragging my crawdad
Everything ha s a price,the greater the thing the higher the price. Ain't you grateful you can pay it?
Best video yet, if it was easy anyone could do it. Trails and tribulations produce endurance
Man that water looks great! I Stood in my Shoalie this morning here in Kentucky quite a bit to get more used to doing it. They're pretty stable but y'all were on a pretty gnarly creek lol. Reminded me of the time I fished down Chattahoochee and didn't know anything about it. Tell Alex thanks for reminding me to get floats for my rods and some leashes for my other stuff.
Love the hooch - my home away from home
Beautiful country and fun times with friends. Priceless
this was good - the viewers have no idea how it really is - the video does not do it justice
You know it. That’s always the hard part trying to make the viewers understand what it was like
Having lived near the Rogue River in southern Oregon I know what those waters can do. At least there weren’t a lot of strainers. My shoulders are both too bad to handle hard paddling although it’s easier than rowing one of the one man pontoon boats. I’m fortunate now that I live next to a reservoir, actually a chain of them, all separated by power dams so the current isn’t too bad. In fact at times you can launch down river and take out upriver without much paddling.
Man, what a journey, you guys are rocking it good job, glad everyone safe.
I respect all who challenge mother nature , not for everyone, some of us love the views
Thats a fun float!
What river is this? I'm retiring soon and that looks like a lot of fun.
Bet you boys slept good that night!!! Been there, done that....
got to tell ya sorry but i dont like mexican food, im more into chinese food
I stay on edge the whole video . That would be way too hard for me.
Cool video, me andmy kayak and canoe prefer calm water😂
This was a wild one for sure, glad you didn’t flip
The video will never be the same as being there im a hiker love our river trails
Love it man! One of your best videos ever. God created a beautiful place for y’all to enjoy and thank you for sharing with us. Talked about snakes at the beginning. Did you see any? God Bless you!
No didn’t see a single one. Which was cazy
Make sure those scuppers arent plugged!
That was definitely an Adventure.
This reminds me of the first real river float I did in a kayak. My wife and I were floating Crooked Creek in northern Arkansas, and I had a massively heavy kayak meant for lake fishing. My wife has terrible balance so I was pulling both of our kayaks. The river was far too low to float at that time so I was pretty much dragging for 8 hours on slick as snot rocks. We got stuck at a spot with really slick exposed bedrock. The only way you could keep your foot from going out from under you was to stick it in these little foot-sized holes in the bedrock.
There I was, pushing my kayak under a tree, basically exhausted, and all the sudden something happened and I fell, then heard a "POP" in my leg and a searing pain. My first thought was "how am I going to get my wife out of here with a broken leg?" and her first thought was "how am I going to get him out of here with a broken leg?" After a few seconds I realized that it was not broken and that I had just pulled a muscle, which was a huge relief.
We managed to find a spot with cell service and call the guy who moved our truck for us and he asked "how far past where the creek joins the river did you get" to which we replied "we didn't." We found a spot where he could come and get us and helped us load our kayaks and get out of there.
I honestly haven't really done a float since. I've fished out of rivers plenty, either just walking it or going somewhere where I can paddle back to the ramp, but I'm a little freaked out after almost breaking my leg in the middle of nowhere when floating unfamiliar water. Going by myself is just intimidating after that, and I don't have any local friends that like to do that kind of thing. I love the idea of river floats, but am a little wigged out after that bad experience.
Wow that’s tough
What a trip. Awesome video. 👍👍
The real world. Thanks guys!!
Nice float! Three Shoalies! Cool!
I have a crescent kayak. It dumps me out all the time. Mine isn’t a fishing kayak. I was curious about the model y’all used. Now I see I need to look at at different brand. Your model slips out from after ya too.
crescent shoalie
To portage, or not to portage. THAT is the question!
Which River were you fishing?
That is a beautiful creek!!
Shave your head, give up the ghost! Let it tan in the sun and wear a cap when needed. You'll look great, trust me! Thanks for the content!
ok
Big, carbonated swig followed by a hiccup. Me every time. 😂
it was some flavor of mtn dew and it had a good kick
Great day will be good memories
I don't remember y'all (Especially you!), ever having such a tough time on a fishing trip! Fish awhile, walk, while trying to guide the Kayaks through those ole rough rapids and rocks, one of your friends accidentally tipping his Kayak (I almost said Canoe!), over, and falling in the Water...man! Y'all had it rough! I don't blame that one guy for saying that he'd never go there again!
Watching this reminded me of one of the verses out of the 23rd Psalm, which states:"Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death , thou art with me. Thy Rod and thy Staff, they comfort me". Another one that comes to mind, is when Isaiah talked about something that God told him, saying "When you pass through the floods, they won't overflow you...or something like that.
I'd say that y'all definitely put a couple days worth of effort into one day of fishing and Kayaking on that beast!
If it'd been me, I probably would've just found one really good place to fish, caught myself some fish, camped out, and had a fish fry for dinner!
Mind if I borrow yer Cookin' Stove?!? (Hee hee hee hee hee)! Just kidding!
Y'all have a great, and a blessed, weekend. God bless you and yours!!!
Yeah it was a rough one. It’s fun to go explore those new places but it can turn into work
It sure looked beautiful there. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family and friends...🙏❤🙏❤🙏
😂 🎶Old McDonald had a rock🎶
That's it. I'm moving to Tennessee.
I hear banjo music !
I have an Outcast pac 1000 one man pontoon boat, it's great for places like this! The drawback is it's harder to row against the current than a kayak, I also live in N. Florida so there's the gator vs inflatable issue, but I still use it and I'm still alive lol
..FishOn.....jimi
Wow! Alex's rollover (with PFD inflation) was strangely similar to my last video. Thankfully, no one got hurt and we recovered everything too. Keep up the great content!
Great video that was a lot of work
Oh crap Alex flipped!!
I found myself at one point leaning forward in my chair, rocking trying to help you get over some of those rocks john, ridiculous huh? I guess i was just getti g into the video! Thanks for the hard work.
Hey creek guy...u should do another roadside aquarium video soon.
good suggestion, i will try to do that soon
We going for 3 weeks in a row? 😅
Now, that's what I call living!!! You made lots of great memories on that trip John! God was watching out for you guys. Thanks for sharing these great adventures!
I've watched pretty much most of your videos and have followed your channel for years... this video is by far my favorite!!! Seeing you jump off that rock just took me back to my childhood at my grandparents creek in Manchester KY. Thanks so much for putting a smile on my face!!! Your adventures are awesome!!!
Alex had what we call a yard sale!
If the bottom of your boat isn't scuffed up, you're using it wrong!
amen
The only way to have seen all the beauty was to go down it, those huge boulders was amazing, it was great & a lot of hard work, definitely not meant to go by yourself, glad you had some friends, I bet you slept good that night! 👍🎣
What river was this? South Fork of the Cumberland? Stunning scenery.
Worst creek ever???? Dude, that was the kind of creek I live for.
worst (most difficult) creek i have kayaked, awesome creek overall
Never up never in boys! 20-years from now you'll have this Kodak moment. Keep rock'in!
Beautiful location
Me and my buddies have done some stupid stuff in the name of finding good (or better) fishing. We survived it, but YMMV any time you're out there in the wild places doing cool stuff. At least you guys are smart enough not to do it alone.
What kayak fishing is all about right there! You definitely need a longer painter, much longer.
That was quite an adventure with a couple of really great guys. You probably slept really good that night. And that evening meal looked awesome. Thanks for sharing.
And here I sit, stuck in the A/C cause it’s so FRIGGIN’ HOT & DRY IN SoCal 😩
Well I'm glad Alex got all of his gear back and no one got hurt on this adventure. It looked amazing and yal caught alot of fish. Great vid as always 👊👍.
Amazing water to fish, great job presenting it! My season may be over this year, just finished a double spinal fusion with complications, but I can still walk! I have to experience those TN waters someday! God bless you and your friends!
Love the vids ❤
That was one for the record books!! Next time you should do an over nighter and camp then paddle out the next day!? Always great stuff!!
John that truly was a "creek fishing adventure'! Those East Tennessee mountain streams are absolutely beautiful!
That’s some work right there. Wow! Glad you all are safe! Quite the creek fishing adventure, living up to its name no doubt!
Master Caster!!!!
