  • Today I fished a creek that i had been wanting to fish for 20 years. This stream was loaded with big creek chubs and longear sunfish. Very interesting day with a unusual fish caught on my underwater camera.

    I believe that the “mystery” fish was a juvenile chain pickerel. The other possibility would be American pickerel but the subspecies down there would have red fins and they are more of a “swamp fish”. Awesome video! Always love the ultra light fishing

      I agree..it was an Esox for sure. Grass Pickerel is possible, but most likely a Chain Pickerel.

People think trains just get in the way but we have families we don’t see much. We know hotel staff more than relatives. Thanks for the videos John! They are instrumental in me finding my old passion.

It's been over 25 years since I last did. Even if I don't catch anything, the memories walking it will be worth the trip alone. Can't wait!

    Hey John, you mentioned wanting to get something to keep track of how far you have walked. I use the OnX app on my phone and it's pretty good. It will tell you how far you walked, show exactly where you walked and show you the owners of every piece of property. You can either get it for your state or for every state. It's great for deer hunting as well because you can mark trails, stand locations, bedding areas etc... I highly recommend it.

      Could you imagine putting a couple 3 pound smallmouth in there? If they didnt die from lowering water levels (my guess as to why no bass) they would be absolute monsters in a year or so. It would be illegal to transport the fish anyhow, but fun to imagine :)
