i forget just how pretty that area really is when the water is up and flowing so hard during the rafting season... But when the water is low and you can see all those pools, and the structure of the river; its a master piece of the lords creation. And then you have the amazing wild life, and the incredible fishing ; like we just witnessed and you are overwhelmed. Praise God for the many gifts we have and let us never take them for granted. Another outstanding video John and thank you for continuing to entertain us. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!
That is such an cool place to fish!!! Smallmouth are my favorite fish to catch....and also eat. You should do a catch and cook for Smallmouth. Love you new kayak too!!!
I can not say it too many times....you have the most perfectly beautiful places to fish as anywhere in the world! Thank you for helping a lot of us that either have no good place to fish or still stuck in winter....or both!!
Gone fishing tomorrow and Thursday hope cricks go down some know the smallies are moving up here. Watching you catch them makes we want to that much more God bless you John
Nice productive outing, love the sight fishing bites. Gets the adrenaline pumping. My best topwater smally came across 25 yards of river in clear water to slam my popper. Jig bites are just as much fun. Thanks for sharing with us brother John.
Would love to have a few of those smallies also some of those b-u-t-ful rocks. I love the dappling water made. I believe this is one of the best-looking rivers you have fished. How could anyone think our Lord didn't make places like these for all to enjoy. Bless you, for making my day so enjoyable. Your videos keep getting better all the time
Very nice!! Suggestion: Take your needle nose and bear down on the hook barbs. They'll usually break off. Much easier to get the hook out when barbless. You won't lose as you always keep tight lines!
Such a beautiful creek and beautiful healthy fish. Thanks for sharing this with us. Very much fun. See you are approaching 100M. Keep it coming. Also thanks for telling us about the work before the fish. Nice to know the amount of effort it takes to "find the fish".
I love when you fish these mountain rivers, reminds me of the time I went to Oconee county South Carolina. They had some beautiful spots like this, smallmouth everywhere.
Thanks for the great fishing videos. Thanks to my broken foot this is how I keep my sanity. Can't wait to hit up the Bass fishing on the Chattooga River.
The only thing about fishing clear water like that, is that you should keep a low profile. If the Fish can see you, they may not bite. But-If you sit down on the bank, or possibly a spot near the bank, but behind a clump of bushes or tall grass, you should catch more fish. Just a helpful hint.
Smallmouth fight like crazy. This is a great channel. Been goin back through watching some of your older videos again. Hoping you hit 100,000 subscribers if not more this year. Tight lines!
John-You may already know this, but in clear water such as this, try using Low Visibility Fishing Line. Stren makes what they call Lo-Vis Line, and it's available in any line weight that you need. Just trying to help.
Really great running into you at Douglas lake. Hope to catch up sometime and maybe do an overnighter catch-n-cook, share some fun and videos with the peeps. Smoky Mountain Outpost
I love the Ocoee river, if that is how you spell it, it is awesome for hiking, fishing and just hanging out. They intermittent openings for that you can picnic and enjoy. Nice job john ( I think that is your name) I love it! Great job!
ive caught redfish and largemouth with those kinds of deformations. Not sure why it happens, but the fish seem unaffected by it, still able to feed and fight like they should. couldn't tell a difference in take, fight and all that until they come out of the water and you get a good look at them.
Man you need to go salt water fishing again. I spent 18 years of my life on the Gulf Coast. Theres nothing better than fishing those waters. So dynamic and such bio diversity. Cant beat it.
Ma'am, I know that I don't know you, but hopefully you won't mind my offering my condolences, and I sincerely hope that he'll get well soon. God bless!
Awesome video man! Would love to see you hit up parksville dam again. We keep trying but can’t have any luck there but I keep hearing stories of musky in there lol God bless!
John, have you ever rigged any craws or hellgrammites backwards to normal rigging and let them glide differently through the water. Gonna start trying this some myself. You have so many schooling fish you may have to throw an umbrella rig and catch 3 smallies at a time!
Dang those rock features are cool as heck!! I just bought another Hobie and am moving up to Chatt here in the next month.. your videos got me stoked :D
Nice fish....I personally think the tooth patch test is unreliable - I've caught bass I knew were pure largemouths that had a patch. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries continues to use the "test" for identifying spotted bass - if I'm ever in doubt, I look at the dorsal fin gap and/or the jaw/eye line.
OMG! Water is so clear! Love the Go Pro submerged clips! Not certain how unbelievers can't see God's hand in this territory! Thanks for the peaceful moments! Keep rock'in!
All of them Bass of different kinds, two Trout, and no Panfish! Looks like a great day to me. I noticed your Scripture Verse...and it had reference to a Rock and Water, too! The Rock is, I believe, a reference to Jesus Christ, and the Water, I believe, is a reference also, not only to God providing natural water for the Children of Israel, but also to Christ providing the Living Water that we can drink of, and never thirst again! Jesus also taught us that, once we drink of the Water that he provides, will not only never thirst again, but have, from out of our belly (being), a spring of living water that will overflow, so that others may drink of the Waters of Eternal Life!
As usual great video. Did you use your usual 1/10 oz. jig/ ned rig to fish the hellgrammite. Also, did you use an ultralight rod or something a bit heavier. Thanks for the video as it gives us all hope to get out of the pandemic doldrums.
John, I know that one of your sponsors is Piscifun. Pls let the Piscifun people know that, in my experience, their Flame 2000 spinning reel, for under $25 on Amazon, is by FAR the best deal in ultralight-to-light reels on the market. I keep wondering if I should replace it with a much costlier Daiwa or Shimano, and then I realize that the Flame 2000 does everything these other reels do, casts great, is tough as heck.....so why replace it?? Terrific product!
This. Right here. Small river smallmouth fishing. It will forever be my favorite way to fish.
i forget just how pretty that area really is when the water is up and flowing so hard during the rafting season...

Those rock structures are amazing and that water was so clear. Beautiful video Sir! Got my first Rock Bass out of a creek this morning.
The thrill of seeing them eat it is like nothing else
I just don't know who had more fun . You catching all of the bass { and trout } or myself watching you catching all of them .
That is such an cool place to fish!!! Smallmouth are my favorite fish to catch....and also eat. You should do a catch and cook for Smallmouth. Love you new kayak too!!!
I've seen some nasty stuffs today, this beautiful river and big fish cleanse my eyes. Thank you!
What a beautiful river! Thanks for sharing.
I can not say it too many times....you have the most perfectly beautiful places to fish as anywhere in the world! Thank you for helping a lot of us that either have no good place to fish or still stuck in winter....or both!!
Cool! We were just there this past weekend, camping (and fishing) at Parksville Lake CG. Caught my first 2 spotted bass (fishing newbie at 39 y/o).
Great smallmouth fishing! These are the og creek fishing adventures videos now!
Yup, my friend, you dipped your hand in a cloud of liquid frog and her string of pearls lol. Nature is beautiful.
Gone fishing tomorrow and Thursday hope cricks go down some know the smallies are moving up here. Watching you catch them makes we want to that much more God bless you John

I love that dark green color on those river smallies.
Beautiful place and even more beautiful fish
Such a beautiful creek and beautiful healthy fish. Thanks for sharing this with us. Very much fun. See you are approaching 100M. Keep it coming. Also thanks for telling us about the work before the fish. Nice to know the amount of effort it takes to "find the fish".
Absolute Fire John!!! I live only 40min from there and will definitely have to try that out when the water is low.
I love when you fish these mountain rivers, reminds me of the time I went to Oconee county South Carolina. They had some beautiful spots like this, smallmouth everywhere.
Maybe my favorite video you have done. Beautiful place, crystal clear water, and so many fish. Great job.
John, thanks for the vicarious fishing trip. After a hard of fishing I will sleep well tonight.
That is some beautiful water. I'm looking forward to seeing more video from this area. Thanks for sharing.
We love it up there. I figured all those fish were in there but just never had a rod with me when we were up there. Great day!!
Sight fishing is awesome ain't it? You do seem to find the most paradise type spots to fish at. Great job on this video.
Thanks for the great fishing videos. Thanks to my broken foot this is how I keep my sanity. Can't wait to hit up the Bass fishing on the Chattooga River.
That place looks awesome! Great job brother. God bless
Love it when you fish this river. Such a beautiful location, and so many cool features in it. Great video bud!!!!!
I’ve been chompin’ at the bit to get back to the water and this has inspired me to MAKE time to get there! Great video John!
Thanks for sharing Richard. Always love watching you fish. May God bless you and all your subscribers. Thanks!
Richard's name is John!
@@tenncutt oh thank you!
You hit a fantastic spot. You caught soo many nice small mouth bass. They would be good eating. Definitely would go back to that spot again.
The sceneries you get to fish in are 2nd to none
I've got to get down that way sometime. Beautiful clear water!
The only thing about fishing clear water like that, is that you should keep a low profile. If the Fish can see you, they may not bite. But-If you sit down on the bank, or possibly a spot near the bank, but behind a clump of bushes or tall grass, you should catch more fish. Just a helpful hint.
Outstanding day of fishing! Those were some beautiful smallmouth, wish we had them like that around here. Great video John!
Smallmouth fight like crazy. This is a great channel. Been goin back through watching some of your older videos again. Hoping you hit 100,000 subscribers if not more this year. Tight lines!
What a way to start an awesome video. Thnx for sharin despite the rough beginning
Nice beautiful creek, good smallies

Smoky Mountain Outpost
yeah man that would be fun
Man, nuthin like seein em take the bait. In water that clear I reckon they can see you too. John your videos are consistently great. God bless.
Tennessee....God’s masterpiece! Another great outing! I’m waiting on my call to come join ya.
Michigan.....god’s country!
Pound for pound, some of the best fishing in the world right there
Way to go , and thanks for all the walking you did and I hope to get to fish there one day.
Good video John ...you have me wanting to fish over there now
Remarkable fishing. Gorgeous stream
I just caught a really big smallmouth with my dad today. Love your videos. Keep on making the great content.
Nice work!
I caught my first bass of 2021 on a cheap huggermitte that came in a creek fishing box from Walmart
That place looks amazing. Beautiful spot. I am ready to go to catch some spring smallies!
I love the Ocoee river, if that is how you spell it, it is awesome for hiking, fishing and just hanging out. They intermittent openings for that you can picnic and enjoy.
Nice job john ( I think that is your name) I love it!
Great job!
I always enjoy your videos! I especially enjoyed your everglades videos. Thank you!
Dude. When the frogs are locked in, don’t come a knockin!
That was awesome. The wind is a little bit of a pain in the neck. 👍
cool fishing trip, nice catches. Thanks John
ive caught redfish and largemouth with those kinds of deformations. Not sure why it happens, but the fish seem unaffected by it, still able to feed and fight like they should. couldn't tell a difference in take, fight and all that until they come out of the water and you get a good look at them.
Awesome. What a great day! That's how we like it.
awesome fishing brother ! i can remember when that whole stretch of water was "dead" not even a minnow in it .
East Tennessee streams rock!
Man you need to go salt water fishing again. I spent 18 years of my life on the Gulf Coast. Theres nothing better than fishing those waters. So dynamic and such bio diversity. Cant beat it.
Beautiful scenery looks like a lot of fun great video
OG fans will know that the first location he fished in already before
I think he caught at least a couple of Bass out of that spot, too, didn't he? I think that that was last year. Not sure, but I think so.
He has fished there atleast once before, possibly more
A tip : watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Kobe Tate Yea, been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself :D
I've missed watching videos. My dad fell a week ago and has been in the hospital until today.
Ma'am, I know that I don't know you, but hopefully you won't mind my offering my condolences, and I sincerely hope that he'll get well soon. God bless!
Awesome video man! Would love to see you hit up parksville dam again. We keep trying but can’t have any luck there but I keep hearing stories of musky in there lol God bless!
That second fish looked like a shoal bass man! Check in to it.? Some one second me!
If only I could walk John enjoying the video awesome!
Great video I have been trying to find some nice creeks to fish
You've been killing it lately!
My ex had a vague tooth patch. Warmouth. Take my word for it.
Hahaha!
Hilarious, know the feeling he's not only a warmouth but a largemouth in the making
John, have you ever rigged any craws or hellgrammites backwards to normal rigging and let them glide differently through the water. Gonna start trying this some myself.
You have so many schooling fish you may have to throw an umbrella rig and catch 3 smallies at a time!
Bend the barb down on the hook, you reel them in fast enough, they won't get off, also will make it easier to get the hook out.
Dang those rock features are cool as heck!! I just bought another Hobie and am moving up to Chatt here in the next month.. your videos got me stoked :D
Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing

Holy cow you are putting in so much effort! Nice job!
Crazy stuff John!! Tight lines from FishHooked brother
That bring able to see the fish is cheating lol. Great video as always, John.
What a great day of fishing.
OMG! Water is so clear! Love the Go Pro submerged clips! Not certain how unbelievers can't see God's hand in this territory! Thanks for the peaceful moments! Keep rock'in!
Love watching the fun you are having!!
That river is beautiful
Absolute beautiful place!!
Great vid! You destroyed those smallies with the helgrammite.
the frog is like ummmmmmm excuse us mr, GET LOST! lolllll
A Dalton classic!
Awesome man keep it up those smallies are turned on ...
Beautiful river!
All of them Bass of different kinds, two Trout, and no Panfish! Looks like a great day to me. I noticed your Scripture Verse...and it had reference to a Rock and Water, too!

headed to Mineral Bluff Sat morning so I will also fish this area with my father.
Deffently eggs I came across the same thing just the other day, probably seen 20 or more was really cool 🤙🏼
Great job as always John!
watching over and over / thinking about moving to Clarksville, TN. near my brother there. wonder if I should?.
Fun vid! Could see fish chasing the ones you'd catch! Jonesy
What a absolutely crazy video. Keep em coming. On a side note I love basketball too. Can't do big blue Nation though. All about UNC! Luke Maye for 3!!
You do look like you enjoyed yourself glad to see it
As usual great video. Did you use your usual 1/10 oz. jig/ ned rig to fish the hellgrammite. Also, did you use an ultralight rod or something a bit heavier. Thanks for the video as it gives us all hope to get out of the pandemic doldrums.
medium rod and 1/10 oz jighead
John, I know that one of your sponsors is Piscifun.

killer video. love them type of days.
What a beautiful place ❤
At 7:40......Those two need to get a room !!!!...LOL
Great job John!
