My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
It didn’t look stable. 😂 I don’t have that exact model but my crescent slips out from under me in all types of water. I butt into a boulder I didn’t see (in flat water) and I flipped! And it has the transom for a trolling motor. 😂 no way
What a wild and crazy river ride with some wild and crazy guys !! You all will remember this trip for a lifetime. Each of you will have your selective moments, but the scenery is almost overwhelming to the mind. I think your level of tiredness will be considered well worth it once you have rested. I have only been to BSF once, many years ago, just for camping and squirrel hunting(the trees were so tall my 20 gauge couldn't knock 'em out of the tree tops). We went in at the McCreary Co., Ky. side. Thanks John for this video which profiles one of a few Wild rivers left, and just how beautiful our part of the world is ! Always be safe ! Pap Blevins
Dude I've rewatched this part a bunch now. 9:10 😂 That noise you made 😂 lol! I'm laughing with you. Man you TOOK off down that chute. That thing about swept your kayak out from under you. Man that was great. 😂😂 Lol
Your channel has been a huge blessing to me. I broke my hand the 18th of August, and cannot fish until it heals. I'm fishing vicariously through you, lol. Bless you, and keep crankin".
Are you kidding? I stopped fishing completely after I found John's channel and have been fishing vicariously through him ever since! It's a lot cheaper and you don't get any mosquito bites!
I've watched pretty much most of your videos and have followed your channel for years... this video is by far my favorite!!! Seeing you jump off that rock just took me back to my childhood at my grandparents creek in Manchester KY. Thanks so much for putting a smile on my face!!! Your adventures are awesome!!!
That was quite an adventure with a couple of really great guys. You probably slept really good that night. And that evening meal looked awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Now, that's what I call living!!! You made lots of great memories on that trip John! God was watching out for you guys. Thanks for sharing these great adventures!
I found myself at one point leaning forward in my chair, rocking trying to help you get over some of those rocks john, ridiculous huh? I guess i was just getti g into the video! Thanks for the hard work.
Man that water looks great! I Stood in my Shoalie this morning here in Kentucky quite a bit to get more used to doing it. They're pretty stable but y'all were on a pretty gnarly creek lol. Reminded me of the time I fished down Chattahoochee and didn't know anything about it. Tell Alex thanks for reminding me to get floats for my rods and some leashes for my other stuff.
Well I'm glad Alex got all of his gear back and no one got hurt on this adventure. It looked amazing and yal caught alot of fish. Great vid as always 👊👍.
Well it was good to see Alex and Josh again. The place looked amazing, and the fish were exciting and often it seemed. But it did look a little scary at times for sure. But overall, this was an eventful and fun video to watch, and I could only imagine what it was like for real. Thank you for bringing us on this amazing journey, and next time bring some arm floaties for Alex....LOL just kidding. GOD BLESS AND GO KATS!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing water to fish, great job presenting it! My season may be over this year, just finished a double spinal fusion with complications, but I can still walk! I have to experience those TN waters someday! God bless you and your friends!
Wow! Alex's rollover (with PFD inflation) was strangely similar to my last video. Thankfully, no one got hurt and we recovered everything too. Keep up the great content!
You guys had a great time. Clear water, great friends. Beautiful country and Alex caught a real nice Smallmouth. Life doesn't get any better.... well at least not unless you remove a few rocks. lol
I noticed when I was up there in the mountains the rapids are sometimes impossible bc of the elevation change. My river is flatter so it's different. Going up I mean. You can go down unless it's like a waterfall of course.
You gotta paddle through those rough sections! Paddling is the only thing keeping you headed where you want to go. Same with coming in on a wave in the surf, don't stop! There might be a section of the hooch that reminds me a bit of this!
Having lived near the Rogue River in southern Oregon I know what those waters can do. At least there weren’t a lot of strainers. My shoulders are both too bad to handle hard paddling although it’s easier than rowing one of the one man pontoon boats. I’m fortunate now that I live next to a reservoir, actually a chain of them, all separated by power dams so the current isn’t too bad. In fact at times you can launch down river and take out upriver without much paddling.
The only way to have seen all the beauty was to go down it, those huge boulders was amazing, it was great & a lot of hard work, definitely not meant to go by yourself, glad you had some friends, I bet you slept good that night! 👍🎣
Love it man! One of your best videos ever. God created a beautiful place for y’all to enjoy and thank you for sharing with us. Talked about snakes at the beginning. Did you see any? God Bless you!
I have an Outcast pac 1000 one man pontoon boat, it's great for places like this! The drawback is it's harder to row against the current than a kayak, I also live in N. Florida so there's the gator vs inflatable issue, but I still use it and I'm still alive lol ..FishOn.....jimi
Your channel got mentioned today on Cole and Jay YT @9:00 while he’s creek fishing an urban creek. And @34:30. Always wondered if either of you watched the other. Should do a video together. 🎣
That was totally nuts! Gorgeous, but CRAZY! Not for me but it was amazing to see the handiwork of God even on video. In person that must have been breathtaking. You definitely will never forget this one! Be Blessed and please stay safe!
@@CreekFishingAdventuresthank you so much! Let me know if you ever want to kayak fish section 1 or 2 of the Upper Chattahoochee . We go after Shoal and Chattahoochee Bass.
I have a crescent kayak. It dumps me out all the time. Mine isn’t a fishing kayak. I was curious about the model y’all used. Now I see I need to look at at different brand. Your model slips out from after ya too.
Me and my buddies have done some stupid stuff in the name of finding good (or better) fishing. We survived it, but YMMV any time you're out there in the wild places doing cool stuff. At least you guys are smart enough not to do it alone.
Hey man, have you ever thought about buying a polarized lens for the camera? Won't affect normal shots very much at all, but it will elim. that glare issue when releasing. Just a thought. Loved the video.

Three young men, living the good life. You are blessed, even on a hard day on the water. Living the dream.
Now that was a creek fishing adventure! The scenery looked incredible
Greetings from Kansas USA. Glad you didn't lose lot of stuff or anything like that. Glad yall had a good time. I'm saving up for Kayak. :).
Absolutely incredible scenery!!!! What an adventure you had on this video buddy!! Thanks for all your hard work Jon!
Thanks Seth
@@CreekFishingAdventures anytime man!!!

There are a lot of streams in that area I want to explore more

Great video John the kayaking was get to watch. Really enjoyed this video Thanks!! from Drought stricken South Texas
Okay ... I’ve watched all three perspectives. Epic is all I can say. Tough and exhausting adventures with no death = epic.
Your channel has been a huge blessing to me.
I broke my hand the 18th of August, and cannot fish until it heals. I'm fishing vicariously through you, lol.
Bless you, and keep crankin".

Amazing video! Lots of nice bass and beautiful scenery. Great work Jon!!
This is probably in my top 10 CFA videos of all time! Loved it! You definitely looked whooped by the end..

Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Absolutely beautiful bud.
Looks like ya'll had a hell of a time but it was great to see ya'll exploring something I would never be able to. Great video!
That is so awesome thank you for sharing the beautiful country you all are so blessed
Man, what a journey, you guys are rocking it good job, glad everyone safe.
That was quite an adventure with a couple of really great guys. You probably slept really good that night. And that evening meal looked awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I watch lots of fishing vids and yours I seem to watch the whole way through great job keep it up
John that truly was a "creek fishing adventure'! Those East Tennessee mountain streams are absolutely beautiful!
Now, that's what I call living!!! You made lots of great memories on that trip John! God was watching out for you guys. Thanks for sharing these great adventures!
Never up never in boys! 20-years from now you'll have this Kodak moment. Keep rock'in!
Thanks for sharing this one brother.
Couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
Great video. Reminds me of all the sore backs dragging my crawdad
Our heatwave here in Arkansas will end next week. Then more fishing. Only get a cupple hrs in morning now
That’s some work right there. Wow! Glad you all are safe! Quite the creek fishing adventure, living up to its name no doubt!
Beautiful country and fun times with friends. Priceless
Absolutely amazing video beautiful scenery and I enjoyed it
Epic video John. Everything about it was amazing.
I found myself at one point leaning forward in my chair, rocking trying to help you get over some of those rocks john, ridiculous huh? I guess i was just getti g into the video! Thanks for the hard work.
It sure looked beautiful there. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family and friends...🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Outstanding, epic fishing video. This trip reminds me of sections of the Obed River.
Amazing water to fish, great job presenting it! My season may be over this year, just finished a double spinal fusion with complications, but I can still walk! I have to experience those TN waters someday! God bless you and your friends!
Wow! Alex's rollover (with PFD inflation) was strangely similar to my last video. Thankfully, no one got hurt and we recovered everything too. Keep up the great content!
Is crazy adventure John But you're tenacity paid off. Love the shots of the river.
What an amazing trip. You all had a great but rough day for sure. I guessed right Alex would flip at least once and hope he finally got to poop...LOL
You guys had a great time. Clear water, great friends. Beautiful country and Alex caught a real nice Smallmouth. Life doesn't get any better.... well at least not unless you remove a few rocks. lol

Yeah that works but there were so many big boulders right in the path. Didn’t want to ruin or lose more stuff
It is really hard to judge how rough the water is from video. As rough as it looked, I would really like to try this section.
Nice float! Three Shoalies! Cool!
What a trip. Awesome video. 👍👍
That was one for the record books!! Next time you should do an over nighter and camp then paddle out the next day!? Always great stuff!!
Beautiful place to be. Would love to do a camping float through there
The real world. Thanks guys!!
Great video. You 3 are fun to watch together.
John That looks like a great float to me, hardship, camaraderie, fish,Success!
Ohhh...the scenery came through alright! Trust me Bro, it came through Beautifully! 😁
That was a trip of a lifetime great video
Since I know my vehicle is good to go now I can make a trip up there sometime!! It did great in the mountains.
I'm guessing this is the Obed? That is gnarly...you all should do a Big South Fork 2-3 day fish and float sometime...now that would be a adventure.
That place was beautiful but dangerous, glad you guys had fun doing what you love🐟🎣🐟🎣
Greetings from Costa Rica
That creek looks like a bit of a challenge .catch those bass and have fun i would ❤🙏 . Good day to Kool of in the water 😂
this was good - the viewers have no idea how it really is - the video does not do it justice
You know it. That’s always the hard part trying to make the viewers understand what it was like
Having lived near the Rogue River in southern Oregon I know what those waters can do. At least there weren’t a lot of strainers.

That river can’t get much pressure. Enjoyed the watch
Great video that was a lot of work
Like I said before.. don’t mind the rapids but not with all my gear!😳🤣 great vid!
Best video yet, if it was easy anyone could do it. Trails and tribulations produce endurance
What kayak fishing is all about right there! You definitely need a longer painter, much longer.
The only way to have seen all the beauty was to go down it, those huge boulders was amazing, it was great & a lot of hard work, definitely not meant to go by yourself, glad you had some friends, I bet you slept good that night! 👍🎣
Dude this is special!!! Glad you found it 🧡🧡
Man, y’all earned those fish! That was one of the prettiest rivers I’ve ever seen you on. Way to go the extra mile!
Thanks 👍
There ya go Creek swimming adventure with tons of smallmouth action might be the best float ever
Love it man! One of your best videos ever. God created a beautiful place for y’all to enjoy and thank you for sharing with us. Talked about snakes at the beginning. Did you see any? God Bless you!
No didn’t see a single one. Which was cazy
This was a wild one for sure, glad you didn’t flip
I have an Outcast pac 1000 one man pontoon boat, it's great for places like this! The drawback is it's harder to row against the current than a kayak, I also live in N. Florida so there's the gator vs inflatable issue, but I still use it and I'm still alive lol
..FishOn.....jimi
Beautiful stream!!
Your channel got mentioned today on Cole and Jay YT @9:00 while he’s creek fishing an urban creek. And @34:30. Always wondered if either of you watched the other. Should do a video together. 🎣
Yeah the funny thing was I was actually watching it before I knew. I watch their channel all the time
@@CreekFishingAdventures I live only about an hour away from them but never met them.
full send guys!!! John, any recommendations around Gatlinburg for shore fishing?
any where you can get access, they try to block off a lot but there are plenty of open areas
little pigeon
@@CreekFishingAdventures Thanks John. Love the videos. The scenery is amazing and you always find the fish
this is my home creek... literally in my back yard... you were less than 2 miles from my house right there
That was totally nuts! Gorgeous, but CRAZY! Not for me but it was amazing to see the handiwork of God even on video. In person that must have been breathtaking. You definitely will never forget this one! Be Blessed and please stay safe!
That was definitely an Adventure.
The Ultimate Creek Fishing Adventure!
What river was this? South Fork of the Cumberland? Stunning scenery.
That is a beautiful creek!!
Big, carbonated swig followed by a hiccup. Me every time. 😂
it was some flavor of mtn dew and it had a good kick
John. What lures did you primarily use? Did yiu have to change lures often? How long without a bite do you go before changing lures typically?
✋Show of hands, how many people were OOOching* helping get over the rocks?
.

*Technical term
Yep.. was shuffling my hips forward a few times trying to help 'em out!! :-)
🤚I hope he appreciates the help we gave him.
Great video John! What kind of paddle do you use?
bending branches
@@CreekFishingAdventuresthank you so much! Let me know if you ever want to kayak fish section 1 or 2 of the Upper Chattahoochee . We go after Shoal and Chattahoochee Bass.
I have a crescent kayak. It dumps me out all the time. Mine isn’t a fishing kayak. I was curious about the model y’all used. Now I see I need to look at at different brand. Your model slips out from after ya too.
crescent shoalie
Exactly you said it there at end just paddle through keep urself straight and lower seat u can run a lot of that buddy
We finally came to some easier ones toward the end
I rhino lined the underside of my kayak just so I can drag it without worry. You can get stuff you do at home and it works great
Me and my buddies have done some stupid stuff in the name of finding good (or better) fishing. We survived it, but YMMV any time you're out there in the wild places doing cool stuff. At least you guys are smart enough not to do it alone.
Love the vids ❤
Beautiful video. How do you keep your phone dry?
its water proof
@@CreekFishingAdventures ah!!
Thats a fun float!
Great adventure 😊
Bet you boys slept good that night!!! Been there, done that....
Any good water shoes you recommend?
I have been using some made by Comlubia. I think the link is in the vid description
Hey man, have you ever thought about buying a polarized lens for the camera? Won't affect normal shots very much at all, but it will elim. that glare issue when releasing. Just a thought. Loved the video.
just got one in the mail but haven't tried it yet
The video will never be the same as being there im a hiker love our river trails
I stay on edge the whole video . That would be way too hard for me.
What river is this? I'm retiring soon and that looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks for including the area where you were, but you include the river's name.
Hey creek guy...u should do another roadside aquarium video soon.
good suggestion, i will try to do that soon
Cool video, me andmy kayak and canoe prefer calm water😂
