Hammerin' on them Peacock Bass-That's the way ya do it! I'm glad that God has people out there that aren't afraid to stand up for him! I like you, Richard Gene Th' Fishin' Machine, Dee Crappie, and Hook City. All four of you stand up for God, and aren't ashamed to declare the whole council of God! All of y'all are Christians, and I'm glad for it! I wouldn't have it any other way! But-Of the four-You're the only one that includes a Bible Verse at the end of just about every video that you put out. Thanks so much for doing that! God bless you and Yours!
You just aren't fishing in the 'Glades until you hook a mess of assorted bass and attract the gators! Nice under the roadway peacock bass brother man. On the hellgramite. Thanks for warming us up with this adventure my friend. To God be the glory...
Home sweet home never seems to get old.... Fishing is great in Florida all year long... Thanks again for sharing your video John God Bless and Go KATS!!!!!!
Nothing like South Florida fishing especially summertime fish everywhere I love when I go home little up north now but still Florida hometown around Lake Okeechobee one of the fishing capitals water everywhere fish everywhere feel the cooler up fish from the 561 to the 305 🐟
This series has made me very homesick for South Florida. I have fished a lot of the same areas. The Everglades is an amazing place. I lived halfway between the Everglades and the ocean so we would have to decide what we wanted to fish for on the weekends. Thank You for sharing John.
Born and raised in that area and just moved away (to east TN) 4 years ago, but I go back every year. I’ve fished the same canals and have always had great success there. You’re right in saying there’s a huge difference in the fishing between SO FL and up here in TN. I was kind of surprised at just how different it is.
I was telling my no-it-all brother that you can catch peacock bass,and Oscar's in south Florida,of course he swore u had to go to south America,then i whipped out my C.F.A. video on pause in my pocket and boom!John in Florida KILLING EM!!!!
Yeah let him know we have fish all over down there some was brought over in the south more different species but yeah when I go home I catch cooler full of oscars peacock bass bluegills Bass specks alligator gar snakeheads new all type of panfish catfish even news types but the best time summertime it gets hot but the fish be everywhere never know what you will catch in the south
As always love it John! All that water and never gets really cold produces a LOT of fish! The river I used to fish in the panhandle of Fl there was a 14 foot alligator I would see form time to time on a sandy bank and he was so big and old he was black!
I finally bought a piscifun flame spinning reel to try them out.. I got the 2000 size reel and I put 10lb braid on it and put it on my st.croix legend 6'6" medium light spinning rod !! I can't wait for spring so I can try this combo out!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Got to say little Ball z hanging out next to that Gator I'm surprised he didn't get that fish that you brought in over his head. And I would love to go on an airboat ride like that that looks like so much fun
Jeepers, John! That gator looked like he was eyeing you up for HIS You Tube video!! One step closer and he would have been giving your rods as free give-aways since you wouldn't need them inside his belly!! :-)
I really enjoyed this video. It brought back good memories of visiting Florida in years past for me. Thank you for sharing all the fun you had down there!
Travel to Idaho! Love watching your videos. We have beautiful scenery, down to earth people and no alligators! Lots of rainbow trout, bass, sunfish and steelhead.
Great video john keep it up. The warm weathers coming another month or so and no cold lethargic fish ..i still have ice on my spots but its finally melting..God Bless
Wow.What a great trip!I’ve only fished in Florida a few times in my life and only saltwater but man does freshwater look like an absolute blast!Gotta be careful going near those gators.They watch you just as closely as your watching them but they can move a lot faster than a human. One surefire thing that has worked for for me this winter,when it’s not frozen,is a solid silver or gold Kastmaster.Everything bites those.
#900👍 🎣🐊 👀 What dat, another big mouf? We've been on an airboat with half that many people in the Everglades. Crazy fun and scary when our guide stopped the boat and fed a 12' gator marshmallows mere feet from me on my side of the boat. This city boy could really have bypassed that part of the ride. I have photos.
I love the fact that you keep switching videos from Florida where its warmer to the cold East Tennessee. I'm going in my kayak next Saturday if it doesn't rain. Were suppose to finally get warmer weather next week here in NW AL. 👊👍
I love your South Florida fishing videos! You need to checkout our best which is not the Peacock, which does rock. You need to target the Bullseye Snakehead! They make our Peacocks seem tame! Use a white Horny Toad for bait and cast along the bank of the canal your walking.
Mosquitoes and gators are why fishing is good out there. Lots of good fish closer to Miami and Lauderdale but the pressure makes it almost entirely live bait.
Great, great video! Love the peacock bass! Those things look really fun to catch and Lord willing, I’m going to find out! I looked for info on the homemade hellgramite but couldn’t find a link. Can you send me info on fb or something? Keep it up John, love these! Phillipians 4:6-7 are 2 of my favorite verses 🙏🏻
I thought Peacock Bass were in the Amazon River? Now you got them in Florida too? Along with the boas, snakeheads, and nutrias, is there anything left of native species?
They are native to South America. They were introduced here in the US as farm fish. Lot of fish escaped into the wild and have naturalized in the state of Florida. As long as the weather stays warm, they are fine.
@@wpowolfpackinternational8346 I lived in Kissimmee when I was younger. Used to fish lake Kissimmee in my younger years. One thing I remember most was the size of bluegill and crappie I used to catch. They're way bigger in the south. We would just use cane poles and throw out under the piers with ghost shrimp...fun times
You in VA I'm in J-Ville now but I know you just like me try to hit all the waters that you can find up here saltwater brackish water freshwater lots of ponds i hit those to remind me close to back home 🎣 panfish different varieties Bass catfish but most of the times I sent back in my chair and go out to some nice catfish and guess what I've been catching a lot of them with Slim Jims and a number 2 circle hook lol but it works that's messing with the worms and the pan fish love them too got it off of RUclips some years ago it works I keep a box of my tackle box
@@wpowolfpackinternational8346 First time I learned about catfishing with slimjims I was at a spot on the Appomattox River here in VA. Was about 6 of us with lines out and no one was catching anything. An old man pulled up tossed out 2 lines and almost immediately started catching cats. Asked him what he was using and he showed me nacho cheese flavor slim jims...we couldn't believe it. We were using shad, shrimp, nightcrawlers and the slim Jim's showed us up! Lol
Beautiful day & good fishing. Don't let that gator fool you, they can move quick on those ugly short legs. Thank you 🎆 🐟 oh, by the way airboats=ear plugs
Must have been just cool enough for the gators to be a little lazy. Still I think I would have let him have that fishing hole. You are a braver man than I am, lol.
It will be worth it try to go around the summertime lots of fish out then my hometown I love it live a little up north now but still in Florida but every time I go home I feel the cooler up 🎣

Facts.
That gator was so tame at 4:45. They usually will either run away from you or sometimes chase you go grab that fish.
Gators, air boats, and peacock bass....oh my! This stuff never gets old. Thanks John. God bless.
I am glad people are recognizing you. That is a great sign you are growing your message and enjoying life.!
Start working on the signature. The autograph needs a flare to it
Thanks for sharing your adventure!!! So refreshing watching you from 25 degrees in Maine!!! Blessings

Bam!!
Florida rarely disappoints! What a great idea to venture down there during the Winter, too :D
Haha. It’s tough on a person
I love how that gators just sittin there like hey buddy dont mind me😂
As always love it John! All that water and never gets really cold produces a LOT of fish! The river I used to fish in the panhandle of Fl there was a 14 foot alligator I would see form time to time on a sandy bank and he was so big and old he was black!
Another {still } enjoyable video of the Florida wild life , per se . The spot under the bridge was a honey hole for sure .Thanks for sharing John .
I finally bought a piscifun flame spinning reel to try them out.. I got the 2000 size reel and I put 10lb braid on it and put it on my st.croix legend 6'6" medium light spinning rod !! I can't wait for spring so I can try this combo out!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Man o man. One of your best trips yet. Peacocks all around. Really have me wanting to go after them.
My friend, you are the Fish'in Magic'an!
Bin busy haven't watched lately, this was nice. GOD BLESS YOU JOHN!
Awesome to see ya down here in my woods! Great videos👍👍

Those air boats are so cool, Would make a nice fishing boat.
Peacock bass are such good looking fish.
Wow def.a bucket list fishing trip.
Note to self.-remember to bring hellgrammites,and jerk baits!!
Travel to Idaho! Love watching your videos. We have beautiful scenery, down to earth people and no alligators! Lots of rainbow trout, bass, sunfish and steelhead.
That sounds fun
Great video john keep it up. The warm weathers coming another month or so and no cold lethargic fish ..i still have ice on my spots but its finally melting..God Bless
Hellgrammite! And the buddy knew it directly and what a killerbait that is.
Just moved into another place and the pond in the back as well as the canal in front is loaded with peas! Love the videos
That’s cool
I just ordered a handful of creekhoppers with you code from lurenet. Thanks a lot. Can’t wait for warmer weather and using these.
That’s some beautiful country bro! Nice job out there.
Good luck catch some big fish
Wow.What a great trip!I’ve only fished in Florida a few times in my life and only saltwater but man does freshwater look like an absolute blast!Gotta be careful going near those gators.They watch you just as closely as your watching them but they can move a lot faster than a human.

That dude was right! Everywhere you take the hellgrammite, it catches fish! Atta boy!
Keep doing what you’re doing. I love all the different locations and content. Definitely my favorite RUclips fishing channel.
Great small water adventure
John, I’m surprised you didn’t take an ultralight and cast while you were in the float boat! Nice video!
Incredible looking place 🙌 😍 man!!
I'm not sure I would have fished that close to a gator, but that is so cool.
Wow haha idk if I could of stood that close to the gator. Florida definitely looks like a awesome place to fish!
I caught my first Florida bass today Florida is so amazing
that is crazy he just chilled there with yall! That would be a nope for me lol. Great vid!
#900👍 🎣🐊 👀
What dat, another big mouf?
We've been on an airboat with half that many people in the Everglades. Crazy fun and scary when our guide stopped the boat and fed a 12' gator marshmallows mere feet from me on my side of the boat. This city boy could really have bypassed that part of the ride. I have photos.
I was thinking you'd catch one on the first cast and so it was. Looks like fishings always great in Florida.
Thats a beautiful location! Ive never been to Florida. Hubby and i dont like traveling, but i love seeing the scenery.
I love the fact that you keep switching videos from Florida where its warmer to the cold East Tennessee. I'm going in my kayak next Saturday if it doesn't rain. Were suppose to finally get warmer weather next week here in NW AL. 👊👍

Awesome trip man! You should have picked me up on the way....lol
There it is !
I'm looking to start a boatless creek tournament in East TN this summer. Completely barebones, trying to get folks together to work it out
Just ordered my first package of Nikko hellgramite. Love your channel. Great job!
You do great in the glades buddy.,
Beautiful place I sure hope to get down there one day.
What a way to end a trip! Congrats man!
Great video man. Hopefully you can get back there soon. 🤙😎
Awesome video bro love the scriptures drive safe going back home.
another great video my dude! really enjoy
That's where I want to live next winter... God willing.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. You are the highlight of my day. Bless you. Ps. 51:10
Just got two packs of the hellgamites! Let’s get it on!!
Cool you got close to the gator, but you should have given him a snack lol
I definitely want to get on a peacock bass! Enjoyed the video brother and be safe
Mosquitoes and gators are why fishing is good out there. Lots of good fish closer to Miami and Lauderdale but the pressure makes it almost entirely live bait.
Very nice! Do you have a video where you made those hellgrammites?
What a video John.
New Nickname -The Marksman LOL(casting skills)
With the peacocks color pattern, a 3" Rapala jerk bait in Yellow Perch might be a good bait for those pools!
Thats one excited fan im sure he subbed
John hope you can go to Louisiana to fish one day and tell us how crawfish taste.
Man never know what ya might catch down in Florida huh? Nice video
Great, great video! Love the peacock bass! Those things look really fun to catch and Lord willing, I’m going to find out! I looked for info on the homemade hellgramite but couldn’t find a link. Can you send me info on fb or something? Keep it up John, love these! Phillipians 4:6-7 are 2 of my favorite verses 🙏🏻
I noticed you were standing a little far from the bank. Is that what they do to be able to fish out their with gators?
That gator was playing some basketball with you lol. He tried blocking you a few times
I thought Peacock Bass were in the Amazon River?
Now you got them in Florida too? Along with the boas, snakeheads, and nutrias, is there anything left of native species?
They are native to South America. They were introduced here in the US as farm fish. Lot of fish escaped into the wild and have naturalized in the state of Florida. As long as the weather stays warm, they are fine.
Those baits are they just for saltwater I lieave in SC, are those good for lake fishing?
This made our day!!! Not sure how we can ever thank you enough!!!! Loved seeing big fish being caught with our baits by our favorite RUclipsr!!!!
0:06. That is just too cool. Like to explore an area like that with my ATV.
Gotta take the quad cause the ford wont make it.
@@getchasome6230 yeah, I have a Polaris. Love it.
@@christopherwood2290 I guarantee my chevy can go anywhere your Polaris can. Js
Its too cold to fish here in VA so I've been living vicariously through you. Thanks for the content buddy. Tight lines! 🎣 🐟
You would love South Florida fishing especially summertime fish everywhere

Just got a new one myself. Really good stuff
I need to make a trip there for a PB bass some time.
It must be nice . Fishing is the life. I have a question what site do you go for the fishing contest you do.
TNKATT on Facebook
You are brave to be standing near those gators. I wouldn't want to be near them at all!
whats that white rod you're using looks sweet? Lews? what size and model if you don't mind me asking?
Just curious, Did you feed the gator a fish?
So awesome!!!
Gators. Yay.
I bet John would like ice fishing.
In one of those heated huts
Those are good looking molds! How can a man get a few of those?lol looks like you had a good time though, God bless!
that's south florida for ya, it's gonna be a deer, gator, python, or rooster pulling up to ya wherever you go, mostly gators though
Thought you were gator fishing for a minute. I was wondering if it was going to go after a fish when you got them on the bank
Beautiful day & good fishing. Don't let that gator fool you, they can move quick on those ugly short legs. Thank you 🎆 🐟 oh, by the way airboats=ear plugs
Must have been just cool enough for the gators to be a little lazy. Still I think I would have let him have that fishing hole. You are a braver man than I am, lol.
It is Beautiful down there I might have to save money 😂
It will be worth it try to go around the summertime lots of fish out then my hometown I love it live a little up north now but still in Florida but every time I go home I feel the cooler up 🎣
Are you standing so far off from the water’’s edge because of gators?
Aren't you supposed to kill the invasive ones? Just wondering.
