Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Those are a game changer , I always thought if Nikko ever makes a bigger hellgrammite it will be deadly.
Agreed the bigger size for large mouth smaller for finesse and pick natural colors there always looking at natural colors to eat.
Love the way that you were able to start with that big Spotted Bass! I've never been in waters where they're at, but I'll bet it's fun!
I ended up getting to do a little bit of a different kind of "Fishing" today, and you'll understand, when I tell you that I was able to talk with someone that's not even a Christian, but that allowed me to share of my Faith in God, and what he's done for me!
I've never told you this before, but when I was 4 1/2 years old, I was stricken with Rheumatic Fever, and it nearly killed me. Even after the symptoms left, it had damaged my heart, and it left me with a pronounced heart murmur. That was in 1967. However, in late 1974, my Mom, my Brother, and I, had started attending this Church that believes in Divine Healing. The Pastor prayed for me, then told me (As an act of Faith), to run back to the back of the Church, touch the wall, and run back up. I just did what he said...and my healing, while it wasn't instantaneous, was progressive.
In 1984, I went to the Clinic to get checked out, and told the Doctor that I had a heart murmur. What he said next, was this:"If you have a heart murmur, I don't hear it"! I knew right then and there, that God had healed me! I praise God for Salvation, for his indwelling Holy Spirit, for Divine Healing, and for ALL he's done for me, and is continuing to do for me!!!
Well, looks like I’m gonna order some of them hellgramites now.
Bro I said the same thing I done odered 2 packs 😂
I just bought some Nikko hellgramites from Amazon for myself this past weekend… now I’m gonna have to get these monsters!!! Can’t wait till spring!!!!!!
The patterns and the colors of that first fish were perfection, the Lord's creation never ceases to amaze me,that fish ,that river,those fields,i only wish my heaven is something like that when my times come,amazing video John....
Amen brother.
I'd love to see you travel north to Kentucky and maybe do a trout fishing video on the Cumberland river
I had some niko hellgermites in my tacklebox today but ended up going with the trout magnet most of the day and having a blast catching about 8. Great way to spend the birthday.
John , Great Video and Outstanding Information on the new lure . I Greatly Appreciate You Sharing Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and advice. Always think outside the box. Not a thing wrong fishing a new lures. God Bless You. Tim L.
Awesome catches John! That first one was an absolute stud. Will be ordering a few of the larger size Hellgrammites and will let you know how they do for me. Always enjoy your content and candor sir. Bless you by brother.
Just dropping in to say you're the man! I love your videos and your enthusiasm for this sport is infectious! Thanks for putting out the content you do and know that this rando in Oregon gets a lot out of it.
Glad the winter fishing bug was biting for you. Great start with some tank Spots for sure but the new Nikko baits didn't deter the small ones. Thanks for sharing brother. Blessings John
I agree, always a good day when I see a new video in my feed.
You ended with my favorite chapter in my favorite book in the Bible - 1Corinthians 15.
Wow, that was a monster! Great catch on the Nikko Hellgrammite! Thanks for sharing!
yeah them dobson fly larva are killer for fishing with, just about everything in the water loves them
Just ordered the bigger version and used the discount code. Thank U!
Could you do a video explaining some of your preferred hook types and sizes, and why you like them?
The video I've been waiting for. Glad you talked me into grabbing a pack at the Knoxville expo. Got me a new St Croix last night to try out this weekend with the 4.25 hellgramite... Love the video
Love that Hellgrammite action! Have some flies to throw made out of suede for Spring!
You need a chain drag anchor in a bad way. Take 4 pieces of 12-16” log chain, slide them inside the same size pieces of bicycle inner tube, zip tie the ends but allow for drainage. Hook them onto a big stainless link with a nut. I can usually get a perfect slow drift with 3 sections and can hold solid with all 4. Use 550 cord in a 25’ dog retractable dog leash and a zig zag cleat to make things faster. 😉
Every time I see where lure lands I say "damn, good cast"
buddy's a sniper with that rod
I wade a lot of water ways with a lot of overhang. Quickly disabused me of the standard 7’3 med/heavy bass rod.
I use a 6’ medium fast with a BFS or a 6’ light with spinning reel.
I don’t care what anyone says, more maneuverability and ease of use is more time fishing and having fun and can still handle large bass
thats right, finding what works best for your situation is important
I can't do a lot of fishing due to circumstances. When I watch your channel I remember how fun fishing is, Thanks a lot John. More than you think.
Ain't Tennessee beautiful!
it is
LOVE THIS!!
17.5 inches was the size of my pb spotted bass 👀! Caught on a Shad imitating flat sided square bill crank bait, that I found on the bank 👀!
thats agood spotted bass
I don't think there is anything as satisfying as picking/making a new lure, and then it works the first time taking it out.
That bigger hellgrammite would be perfect on a EWG darter head Ned rig set-up
Hellgrammites are my #1 go to for smallies
What a way to break in the new lure. That is what gives me pumped up to go fishing. Creeks are finally up here so should be a good spring. Thanks for the encouragement through your videos. Great footage from the drone too. Got it all going on. John! God bless
Always enjoy your video and. Love bible quotes at the end. Please keep up the great work .
Have an enjoyable week.
You should look into the Owner 1/0 Weedless nedheads. They are the perfect size for a 4-5" bottom contact bait and the wire is a little thinner than the heavy duty zman hooks but not flimsy. Great video as always!
Thanks for the tip!
Those are some huge bass. Very nice. I love catching Hellgrammites in a sein net. That lure seems to
be doing very well.
Daaannnnnnggg! Beautiful spotted bass. Wish I had those up here in northern Idaho
I love those Nikko jigs they just work!! You should put a power pole on the back of your kayak that would hold you in the current... keep the best fishing videos on UA-cam coming!!!!
Why am I not surprised it was a hellgrammite bait! Every time I watch one of your videos and you don't do well...I'm like, dude, pull out that hellgrammite and throw it!! 😝
Just bought 2 packs with the discount Creek10!!
Personally I like shorter rods for fishing like you were. Getting into those hard-to-reach places with big rods is quite difficult cuz you end up getting caught on stuff.
THE" MONSTERMITE",....can't wait till I can fish em! Lol!!
Real nice job on the video I like the overhead river shot I received some nikko lures with your code can’t wait to use the large hellgramite for bass in Indiana
I love hearing all the birds singing makes it sound like spring
Monster catch. Love it.
I picked some up at the fishing show in Knoxville can't wait to try them out
I’d probably use a longer shank 1/0 worm hook with a longer bait like that. Glad to see you posting in February!
That XL Hellgie is the business!! I am throwing it on casting gear and laying the wood on em! The 3/16 oz VMC has a nice 3/0 hook that extends around the midsection so you can pick up those shorter strikes
Well I have like 10 packs of 3” nikko hellgrammites thanks to you and they are super successful up here in ohio. Looks like I’m going to try those 4.25” ones out too!
That's a very beautiful place.
Nice day on the water!!
I can’t wait for it warm up
Those were some really nice bass. I need to pick me up a couple of packs of those to try out when the fish get more active. I'm looking forward to March fishing. I had one of my best creek fishing sessions last year during the first week of March. Caught like 50 rockbass and 10 smallies. I was even catching some on the berkley choppo. Great vid as always John. 👊👍
John my wife got me 5,8,and 10 inch! for Christmas I can't wait to get them in the water
That would be great on the Flint river below lake blackshear for shoal bass.
yes i think so
Zman makes a giant Ned rig that I use on the big trd that will do good on that Nikko
Heading to the NW Arkansas Ozarks next week loaded with hellgrammites thanks to your efforts & guidance. Thx for all you do. Love the channel and always learn something new.
Wow. Awesome first outing with the new larger Helgrammite!
Great video enjoyed as always fish on.
Always set the hook over your left shoulder, if you are right handed.
Fish just KNOW the hellgramite is a food source. The wild thing is they go up on the bank in winter.
It's been good for you this winter. Amazing how if you have to figure out success so you can make content it makes you that much better of a fisherman.
What a way to break in a new lure. Beautiful first fish.
I see that lure as a game changer when your tournaments start back up.
I really think this year, you are going to knock it out of the ball park.
John,awesome video,Great fishing.thanks for Sharing.
I can't wait to throw these in the creeks this spring. Another great video man!
Massive spotted-bass! Great catch John!
Great video John! Those sure look like a killer bait for bigger fish! Good luck and show us how they do!
Great video as usual. I totally enjoyed it! The spotted bass was huge!
Beautiful first fish...gotta wonder if it's the Alabama strain. The second big Spot looks more like a Kentucky. Awesome video footage, stay safe and have a Blessed Day!!!
Late last summer I paddled past one of these things swimming a few inches under the water. It was doing a sort of very slow “S-shaped” upright swimming style in the late afternoon. It was easily 4”+ long. This was in a tidal creek off the Delaware river where the water becomes brackish. At the time, I hadn’t seen any of your hellgramite videos. I’m looking forward to spring.
i have heard they "swim" like that but i havent seen one do that
@@CreekFishingAdventures The bug may or may not have been healthy because I was at the point in the creek where the water becomes significantly more salty and tidal. It was clearly swimming with this “S-shaped” body movement but it didn’t make much headway through the water - more like getting somewhere was wishful thinking. But it was truly a big ugly charcoal black bug at the mercy of the out-going tide.
I'm fishing for trout in eastern PA and know guys that catch hellgrammites at the creek under rocks and hammer trout with them.
I’ll have to get some of those big nasty hellgrammites. I’m going to my favorite creek tomorrow-water temps hovering around 38 here, so it’s probably gonna be a slow bite. Thanks for showing how it’s done👍
Up here in CT we have had no winter. Not one snowflake. Supposed to hit 60 this upcoming week. Its crazy. Starting to think about fishing. April 7th opening day.
wow, well we have had some flurries but that's it, which isn't too unusual
You can fish it with no problem on a med rod, you just need to use a thinner hook and use the lightest weight that you can get by with, I change weight a lot and hooks so I don’t use hooks with the weight made in them I use Texas rig style rigging, I always have a bobber stop on it incase I am fishing brush piles but open water I just slide the stopper up on the line, it’s better for the weight to slide up the line while fighting fish.
@text4919 stop trying to scam people! Get a real job!!!
I might order some of those larger Nikko hellgrammites. I've had great success catching loads of spotted and largemouths with the standard ones. I already have a Texas rig setup for my medium action rod and reel. 1/8 oz. bullet weight, and a 3/0 EWG hook. Should be perfect for these larger hellgrammites.
I get excited every time I go.
Great video, I love seeing you catch those Big Spots!!! I ordered some Nikko Helgramites and I can't wait for ice to get off the ramps to try them out.
Is this daily winner for real?
Nive man! My pb spot is only 2lbs! Im checking out a new spot tommorrow! big hole in a small creek. hopefulley theres slfish in there
Very huge bass man. God bless you and your whole fsmily....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
TOAD!! Congratulations John.
Thanks John. I am planning on entering my first kayak tournament next month so I got some of the hellgramites to try.
I often wonder why they don't make jigs with a longer shank hook to get it back farther on the soft baits like this Nikko? Something like that would seem to be the perfect compliment to the larger Nikko..Maybe you could get a hook maker to sponsor you and have a new line of John Dalton Jig hooks!! :-)
John, wow talk about a confidence builder, great 1st catch...I ordered a couple packs. can't wait to get out there
John, is this giveaway legit ? So many things to be wary of these days...love your channel
Your B-roll footage looks like Heaven😇
That is an awesome fish! I don't seem to have much luck with the 3 inch but I guess I just need to stick with it and try the bigger one too
I am so excited to try the new size hellgrammite out.. I have had so much luck on the other.
I tie a helgrammite fly that's absolutely deadly on river smallies when I'm fly fishing. But no matter how hard I try with a spinning rod in my hand, I never get bites on the Nikko helgrammite.
I love Nikko stuff, but they aren't heat tolerant at all. Be mindful about how you pack them/where you keep them. A longer day on the boat with your tackle box/bag in the sun, and they tend to become a little melty.
never had mine melt from heat, they will melt if mixed with other soft plastics
@Creek Fishing Adventures I've noticed it both with placing them with other plastics, and if their container is left in heat/sun too long (my fault when it's happened to me). They're incredible baits though. I just keep better care of them these days (keep my craws in the plastic case they come in, and the hellgrammites tucked away deep in my tackle backpack).
Awesome! 🙌🏻 that area is beautiful
I actually like the pond hopping 👍👍👍
Another great adventure. Keep doing what your doing and Enjoy!
The thing I like about the small hellgrammite is the durability, they last. The big one has to be tough. You make pedaling, steering, and casting look easy in the current and it isn't lol. Nice work!
man it was tough fighting all that out there
@@CreekFishingAdventures I believe there is a lot of spam saying we've won prizes with your pic by it.
I think she's all Spot. I'll definitely be getting some of these new hellgrammites.
Loved the guitar music
Interesting concept in a tried and true lure. Please keep experimenting with the "best case hook" for this large hellie', then let us know ! Great footage for this video. Loved everything about it, especially the message at the end. Gotta go get me some of those 'hellies'. Please always be safe. Randy B.
Will you please do some more kayak fishing tournaments?? I mis them so much 😢
got 2 coming up soon
@@CreekFishingAdventures Lets go! I can’t wait to see them!
Ketch some big bass.Good video
Nice I have the same scale to I like it
That's a dream Spot, nice catch!
I’m at the 4 min mark. Guessing it’s the new larger hellgrammites. I’d seen them at a fishing expo recently and was wondering why I hadn’t seen them on your channel yet. I just needed patience, as usual
Those look great. Nice video and great fishing.
Some nice fish there John. Not trying to be critical since I'm not there but, it seems like the second -4th hook sets looks like too much slack in the line. Always enjoy your content, thanks.
yes it was, the current pushes the kayak all over and can make bad hooksets
I saw those big lures at the Expo! Awesome video like always
I love those I'm gonna order me some
Dude that water's ripping!
