BIG Smallmouth!! on Dale Hollow Lake (Nikko Hellgrammite)
Спорт
Went out fishing with Tyler from ReidAngling in late February on Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee. Was able to catch by far the biggest smallie i had ever caught. It was 20 1/2 inches and 4.65 lbs.

As many of those Nikko Hellgrammites as John has used, especially here recently, that'd be a great idea!
First fishing video my infant daughter and I watched together! Here is to many more! Keep it up!

Dogs like that are really special creatures. They really enjoy life in the moment with their people.
Great job , on a personal note I would like to send my condolences to the family of the deadly storm in your area .
I remember those days of getting up at 4 AM 😴 go fishing🎣 Wears a person out. Keep up the great videos
My dad used to make me get up at 5 am to go fishing with him. Didn’t like it very much at the time but now that he’s gone, I treasure those memories more than any other moments in my life. I still fish today but the earliest I get up is around 7:30 am. What I would give to hear him wake me up at 5 again.
Good ol dale hollow.. grew up and used to build houses round star point.. been a few years since I've been back down there.. good ol memories with my pops.. nothing like a pound of bologna, loaf of bread, a six pack of cold cokes in the bottle, and some good ol cheese balls. We would stay out all day. Sorry. Hes not with me anymore so had to share. Good video man.. what part did you launch out from

Man, that food you texted about sure sounds mighty good right now! Ain't nothin' like a Bologna sandwich, with just a touch of Mayonnaise, some Cheetos or some Popcorn, and a can of Coca-Cola, or at the very least, some good ol' sweet tea! The simplest pleasures are the best pleasures!
Way to go !!! great smallmouth , my PB was several years ago it was a 5 lbs. smallmouth in creek Houston County , TN. using a Bass magnet crank bait on my ultra light . Again way to go !!!!
Really large Bass and a really nice fishing day. 😊
AMEN! Great video! Nice smallmouth! Just want to say praying for those folks in Tennessee! That have suffered devastation from the tornadoes!
Those smallmouth make me want to get to the lake and throw some lures. I have been to Dale Hollow Lake once, and have wanted to go back again. i think I'll make a trip there this spring. Good Video John, and congratulations on that big smallie.

That's a good doggo... Whoever's dog that is it's a good chonk. Lol. Heck of a nice Smallmouth brotha.
That was some nice smallmouth. That is my favorite species of bass to catch. They just fight so hard and that makes it so much fun. 👊👍
We throw those nikko hellgrammites and smallies love them for sure! Plus they are so durable, Jason caught 75 fish on the same hellgrammite last year so you get your money's worth. Don't sleep on the megabass hazedong shad swimbaits we never leave home without them. Nice video from BFG
The consistency of your videos is amazing. Keep up the good content, and sharing The Word. God bless.
I enjoy your videos. Man, you got me fishing again! i can appreciate the Joy that Jesus brings into your life and love the humbleness you have. Keep it up brother!
That 4.65 Smallmouth was worth getting up at 4am for sure!! Grats!

The hellgramite does the business again! Great video as always. My sister is heading to the USA for a holiday and I have given her a shopping list of various jigheads, panfish assasins, trout magnets and of course hellgramites. Keep up the great work!
Awesome fishing trip Sir & your( our 😁) PB 👍👍✌ watched this trip first on Tyler's channel great collaboration he seems like a nice fellow to fish with 👍👍✌

Great video glad to see the intro back again. I have 3 packs of those nikko since I saw your first video like a year ago w out luck yet but I'm going to keep trying. great durable lures
Awesome fish!! Looks like a blast, can’t wait to get my boat up and runnin again and go hit the lakes across Georgia!
Great to see you and Tyler fishing again! Prayers going out to all those suffering from the tornadoes 🙏
Smallmouth...Awesome fish. They are beautiful fish and fight like crazy. They love tubes and minnow baits on drop shot rigs.
Ah, you are in MY old stomping ground. Now. Used to go to Wisdom's Doc and then also the State Dock in Kentucky. Fatherinlaw still has a house, icecream store and a boat storage at the State Dock. Love that place.. Sweet fish on that Helgramite. Yep everybit of 2 1/2 Ah, just reading that you went in from TN. cool... Super Nice small mouth too.
Love fishing those Dale Hollow smallies. Nice catch, great vid.
Great video, I've always heard about that lake for smallmouth. Good to see you get to different places. And your right, it's not about the grind, it's about the experience and love for fishing 👍🎣
Yes!...Now im really getting pumped to get out on the water.
Congrats on the big small mouth. Keep it up. Rooting for your channel to continue to grow!
You guys made a day of it and it paid off. Another great video!
This is some great content John. Looked like a fun day of fishing 🤘🏼
To everything there is season. Your life is the season of fishing and sharing.... 💯
Great job man, that’s a nice fish !! Great video
Awesome catch man, congrats on the PB love catching those big smallies like that!!!
Those were some a nice fish you caught man! Especially that biggest smallmouth! Great video!
Nice fish and glad to see the intro back.
Great video, John! Keep it up, brother! Blessings!
Congrats on that amazing smallie.
Nice work John and congrats on the new PB smallmouth! Blessings!
I used to fish a reservoir that looked a lot like that when I had my boat. It had the most wonderful drop-offs and I would catch a variety of fish including walleye, grub jigs and trolling jerk baits were just two ways I would like to fish. Wow, your dog is having a blast!
Fishing and having FUN ! Now thats the way to go, not like yer doing this for a "living eh ". Ha-ha, using what works for ya , yea. Small Mouth love those Neko baits. Also they last ! Good show John , Tom Daytona Beach, FL.

Heck yeah bud 👍 great video.
Great video man! I remember Dale Hollow being super deep and lots of pleasure boats int eh summer months. I have never fished there in late winter or early spring. Very nice smallie!!
That was a nice one man. Smallies are fun on a little dock runner.
Awesome Smallie!
Congratulations on the PB smallie . Subbed . Tight lines
Thats was a big bass ..great catch man
Nice fish and great video
The cool intro is back! 2 thumbs up!
I get up at 4 am to beat the people to the boat ramp. I also get back to the ramp late so I don't have to fight with people to trailer my boat. That is also why I like to fish during the week as opposed to the weekend. Boat ramps where I live are like road rage or even worse.

Oh man, that's a big smallmouth, I got to get another pack of those nikko hellgrammites, I haven't got to go do much bass fishing this year. You should try fishing at mill pond in banner elk, there are a lot of trout and some bass. Hope you had a great time. Tight lines and happy fishing. 🤘🎣🤙
You met your goal of four bass!!!! Nice video.

@@CreekFishingAdventures Have you heard of the Georgia bass slam? Georgia has 10 species of black bass and if you catch 5 of them the GA dnr will give you a certificate for completing the slam. Some of the species are isolated to a few creeks and that's the only place in the world to find them. It might be an awesome adventure for your channel.

Noice.... got some of those Hellgees after yer post last year.... gonna use em hard this spring!
The dogy seems to be a sushi fan, its a fishermans dog, so thats ok! :o) Good thing is, that you still enjoy fishing in a small creek and catching some bluegill. A lot of YT channels only rely on catching the big ones, you take care on enjoying to be out fishing in gods nature. Thats very (!!!) protestantic for me and I absolutely love it! Greets from germany

Dude, when I saw the part where you were eating that protein bar and you said you were low on snacks...I didn't know which of you looked hungrier.....you or that dog!!!! LOL!!! You tell Tyler to throw some tacos up in that yacht for the next time and bring along a propane grill or something so you can heat them up...

Nice sm. Please learn the best CD way to lip large bass
Excellent Bronze Bomber.. I know you have some serious luck with a helgramite but I'm wondering if it'd be as effective up here in the north.. I mean, is the helgramite that much more prevalent in the south that fish are more sue to seeing it there?? I don't believe I've ever seen the fly it creates (Dobsonfly) up here so I'm wondering how use are the fish up north to seeing that and if it'll be effective.. I can tell you I'm going to try one for sure..

I see you almost always use the same rod and reel whether lake fishing or creek fishing with the yellow line. I may have missed it in previous videos but could you tell tell us what equipment you have the most success with?
