Tie the hole in the net with fishing line.
Exactly what I was thinking! You got a bunch O' fishin' line...patch up the hole!
That lil beaver was goin to town 😂
Solid finish
Nice job young man. The lake looked awesome until the rain came . But it didn't seem to slow you down. Looking forward to the next one . Love your content. Thanks.
The traditional angler of any kind can’t compete with live scope. The playing field is based on weather you can afford or want one of those. I like your channel because you still like the element of surprise!
Video game is for folks that can't fish 🤔
I disagree. Livescope has its place and yes it can give advantages but there are also times that people lock themselves into one place trying to catch a fish because they can see it on the screen and then miss out.
@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714 of course...which explains why so many tournaments are won with Livescope...😂😂😂😂 because "people lock themselves into one place."
VIDEO GAME FISHING not for this Angler
When John B was able to find, fish, follow and harass a giant LMB into anger striking a lure after 50 casts as it was swimming around the lake, that's when I knew it's the most over the top tool in fishing. It shouldn't be in tournaments. All fish finders should be banned. You should have to find them by skill and intuition.
Cool bonus shot of the beaver at the very end. Its crazy how loud they can be when they are chewing a log.
Fish gave you the slip, dang! Way to grind in the weather.
John, I have used snap swivels for emergency repair of a ripped net. My buddy and I once lost a musky to a ripped net. - Lou
Love the videos! You make me want to be a better angler! I am in Bristol VA/TN myself so great to see a fellow angler close(ish) by on RUclips! Keep up the great work! Just found your videos and you have gained a new follower and supporter! God Bless!
Loved this! Bring on more tournaments!
Man, the lake looks so cool, and fun to fish when it's calm, overcast and foggy like that. Can't wait to go fishing in a couple days, myself! Pretty soon I'm gonna try to catch Bass and Walleye in the lake off my kayak, but for now, I'm gonna try for some rainbows and brown trout when we get some cloud cover before it rains with some Roostertails, Trout magnets, and Powerbait. Anyways, I really enjoyed watching your video as always! Tight lines and good luck in your next fishing trip, brother!
Pretty solid showing for the first tournament brother. You found plenty of willing bass but darn that net again. We see you learning and growing as your experience level increases. Blessings John
Keep chucking and winding. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!
Great first tournament of the year, way to go John🐟🎣🐟🎣
Ya could have tied that hole up with some fishing line.
Great job John! You caught the three back to back right in front of our dock!
Looks like a ton of fun!
Awesome adventure my brother I’m glad you’re out there making cool content for us couch surfing folks. Keep it coming. 😎
Nice run on your first of the year! That late winter/early spring rain is cold stuff, way to grind it out!
awesome video! got my first fish of the year today before i had to go to class, on a white blue flake yum dinger! tight lines, cant wait for the year of fishing!
Well done, congratulations on 13th. Good luck in the next tournaments.
Really enjoy the tournaments.
John, you've probably seen it, but looks like there are two holes in your net. Keep up the good work!
That’s awesome man
I keep a variety of different sizes of zip-ties in my box. They come in handy for things like holes in the net. Great content as always😁👍
Well the last hour looked tough. Way to stay in the game. Good luck John.
Dude I saw a the perch video, take fishing line and tie the hole up. Much love for taking it stride like that!
Awesome job keep up the fishing
You can't beat those yum dingers, river smallies tear them up. Good luck luck and take care John.
Great video, 👍
It's so exciting catching a fish in a tournament.
Sick vid love the content
Dinger of a tournament! Nice job next one hopefully catch a couple bigs to help out!
Good job, and God bless .
Man I wish I had your casting skills!
Man you’ve come a long way with your baitcaster skills 👍
I promise I will go out of my way to enter a non-live scope, manually powered kayak tournament.
Great video!
Dang...it came a gully washer didn't it.😂 Glad to see you caught em. Just got back from Seminole..man we wore em out. And I still don't think that live scope should be allowed the whole time. Good job.
I always enjoy your kayak tournaments.. I have always dreamed of fishing a bass tournament. No boat no kayak no money and not a great fisherman.
Good vid!
Good fishing except for the rain ! Question ? Could you ziptie that net ? If you don't do something, you might starve to death ! LOL ! Give those beavers their space. Always be safe. Pap Blevins
Still waiting for a chance to go fishing even from the bank or bridge. Still a lot of ice on everything but not good ice. We lost an older gentleman a few weeks ago that went through the ice. We don’t get those 12” ice sheets. Right now it’s warmed up above freezing during the day with a little rain but hopefully we’ll get some clear water. Of course then it will be high and dirty and they still won’t have the docks in. I have a motor on my Old Town but I’m old and can’t paddle or pedal that much.
Hey John. Hope you knew the owners of that dock. People can get crazy when you get near lake docks!🤪😜
hopefully they dont see this, but it was nice to stay dry
Who care they don't own the water.
The livescope would help most but bud just one fisherman to another. You can outfit a kayak with a quality down imagining/color graph with temp and gps for under 200 bucks used. You need to start learning simple electronics and marketplace can help you get different brands to see which operating system you like best. I have a humming bird on one yak and a lawrance on the other and i prefer the lawrance but i go back to using those old lawrance paper graphs yeah im old lol.
My buddy actually hooked a beaver once. He was night fishing and thought he had hooked a turtle or something until it got close enough to see. So he says. Then the worse part was instead of calling animal control he cut the line and the beaver has a hook in his mouth. Hopefully it was a cheap hook and rusted out quick but I bet that beaver went thru a lot of pain once infection set in if it did.
Really enjoy your vids. You are a much better fisherman than me. One thing though, at the point you caught those two in a row, I noticed you beating around the kayak a good bit. Perhaps a little more stealth would help. Hoping the best for you.
Getting that time a year🎉
I use string from like limb lines and weave it thru there then you have a fixed net!
Bummer about the net!!! You already know what I would have said then.....woooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! 😂😂😂
U can patch that net up on site with some braid or fluorocarbon
Well you did great against ffs & a motor, that's about 5k$, but a motor would help a lot! 🎣
Take some zip ties to close that hole up, John! Can't have you loosing any of those winning fish!! :-)
When lure fishing concentrate on the depth you are hooking fish, you just set a pattern. Great videos , keep the line wet.
Need a couple zip ties to fix that net 😂
Good work John not bad for no motor and electronics! You look like me out there lol what kayak are you running i know we about the same height so ill fit
he man, im in the old town pdl120, its very stable and good for us big guys, i wish it had more room around my feet but it works fine
Fo future use ..I have done emergency repair on holes in the net with heavy mono of flouro…
The rain was hardcore
you are an eager beaver to start out the season - it is a long season, fishing should start to pick up soonish - think big deep diving cranks on points and deep structure as the fish start to group up pre spawn
John, fix that hole in your net with some fishing line.
One thing I rarely see you throw is a jig and trailer.?
If you'd get a livrscope or similar you would fish different and catch fish in many different areas than you would think they should be at..it'll change your thinking of what the fish are doing. And where
I would have used some fishing line to close the hole up on the net.
Too bad you lost that fish. Just tie it up with some fishing line.
Fun to see you catch fish in the kayak
Dude! I’m surprised you didn’t fix your net with some fishing line, or zip ties. You might have gotten in the top ten, if that fish didn’t escape.
Oh dude that sucks that fish went through the hole in the net!!!
Man if I had my limit that early , I’d be pitching bigger crank baits swinging for the home run in that last couple hours
i through A-Rig, Chatterbait, Crankbaits, Spinnerbaits
@@CreekFishingAdventures Is the average size in that area not exactly big regardless. You placed well with what you caught?
❤
Please tell me that you tied up the hole... I almost started talking to the TV trying to get you to hear me. Congrats on the 13th place. It's not the top 10 but for the conditions you faced, 13th is solid.
Please stay true to the sport John. Don't give into the livescope cop out.
Take some paracord and fix the net!!
What are your thoughts on live scopes, John? I think it’s some Barry Bonds performance enhancement shenanigans. Ban it from tourneys.
Great for recreational or practice but terribly boring to watch in tourneys
should be banned on public water. use it all day long and cheat on your private property
Generally I dont get upset by much, and realize someone is always going to keep making new tools for fishing. I don't have any problem with it overall, But for tournaments it really can make a huge difference. If your goal is to be in the top 5 every tournament you almost need to get it, I hope they make it illegal for kayak tournaments but don't see it changing, Just having it though doesnt make you better, but already good fisherman adding it makes them even better from what I have seen
@@CreekFishingAdventures thanks for the feedback. I’m sure you’ve already seen what went down at Bassmaster in Ouachita. Tons of co anglers didn’t show up because of it. Definitely not very entertaining watching dudes stare down at electronics the entire tourney.
Mend your net on the spot with some heavy line. JMHO.
I did win $1800 in a king mackerel tournament 2 days before 9/11 happened so not a lot of time to celebrate 😢
Wire ties for net
Now your talkin! Who's got time for sewing up the net with line during a tournament! Zip ties are a great idea!
That first one was a mean mouth.
You have fishing line bud! Got to improvise, you could have tied your net closed 😂
fishing line would sew that hole up
Sir, I really enjoy your videosi exclusively. Almost only watch years you fish a lot like my style. Keep up the good videos. When you come down to Oklahoma for that tournament. I would like to meet you. I would like to talk to you for just a few minutes about a video format That I would like to start with you I would like to shadow you during the tournament if I could
Was this in the Farragut area by chance? Looks familiar
Enjoyed the video always enjoy clean language and scripture reference at the end. If we lose out on our Savior and our God we’ve lost everything.
Not bad for your first tournament of the year good fish Lousy weather. Please get a new net. Or at least repair the old one. That's costing you and I know you know it.
Great video and I’m torn. I see the benefits of live scope but at the same time there is something to be had about searching an area and finding where the fish are versus technology showing you exactly where they are. IMO love scope should be banned in all tournaments and it should be up to the angler’s expertise to find where the fish are.
You need to throw that net away please. lol
I know you are not sitting on someone's dock eating a pb and j!! 😂😂😂
Got to do what ya got to do
Well your moveing up john getting better live scope that's not fishing
Good luck John great video John have you ever used a sun Dolphin boss 12ss kayak I am trying to get a kayak I just can't afford the one I would really like to get
my first kayak i bought was a Kingsport12, which is almost the same thing. I used it a lot and caught a lot of fish out of it. But i can tell how much cheaper it is compared to like 1200$ kayaks and up
@@CreekFishingAdventures I can get it for 600 dollars
@@CreekFishingAdventures thank you
How do you rig your yum dinger? Is that a shaky head?
yes, weedless nedrig hook pretty much
Like the offset hooks?
Thank you for replying
pick up small black "zip ties" to fix your favorite net....
What was the water temperature, btw?
no idea
I hope that they take live scope out of tournament fishing!!! It's playing a video game it's not fishing!!!!
You can mend the net in 5 minutes.
i’ve fished in the rain 🌧️ as long as it doesn’t lightning ⛈️ your fine. if it does haul ass back to the ramp. boating a dock worker wanted to slow down to five knotts i ain’t got time for that. Bout that time ka doosh screams like a girl. Uh hugh serves ya right. it was put it on the trailer run the gas out if did that old two stroke
Looks soon nice out there, what's a live scope? Sounds like cheating. Glad to watch real fishing here.
Zip tie will fix your net
Put some zip ties on that net bro
What were you thinking?
Thank you for the video. Some advice, tether your ketch board, net, paddle and phone. Good luck.
Dude tie the net up with some braid, don't lose fish...lol
Well Brother, I have been bass fishing for around fifty years and I have a secret to share with you about that one big fish you needed. You need to spit on your plug and then hold your tongue outside on the right corner of your mouth. It may not help you catch a big one but when you look at your video and see how silly you look, it will give you something to laugh at. Oh yeah, and turn your hat sideways. That's real important. Sorry you didn't get in the top ten. I just love watching you fish. Keep it up.
Lowrance elite fs and livescope to match is like 2500 . Get a credit card and grab it . Small amount of money for huge return .
You turned a negative into a positive. You went from losing a fish in the net hole to stating you had confidence later on when catching several fish in a row. That isnt an easy thing to do....
