Congratulations sir I’ve been with your channel since the beginning and I still enjoy it as much now as I did then. Your loyal viewers watch the whole video every time I know I always do

CONGRATULATIONS on the Milly!!! That’s awesome! Well deserved for your continued hard work over the years! Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained! And thanks for the single fish catch! Yep, I stayed until the end! Gotta catch the scripture too!

Back in the late 1970's I use to walk to the Village down those Back allies and I'd get down in them and catch crawdads for fishing. Love your channel brother.

The small creek and ditch is what attracted me to this channel. I have started to do this in the Ottawa Canada area and having a blast. Keep doing you and we will keep watching.

Wow, what a great achievement! How awesome, congratulations!! I even remember that video. Next goal: 10 million views! Also, your videos inspired me to start my own little channel.

I’m steadily growing my channel, thanks to some BTS videos from you as well. Thanks for your transparency John. God bless.

Haven't commented in a while but still watching, as always i appreciate your humility John. Visiting southern Indiana now, looks like a storms coming...missing the fishing!

Congratulations 🎊 Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!

I watch your entire videos. Love your channel. I have been watching you before you went full time YT.

Congratulations to the max, John! I watched that entire video, and I made it a point to go to that creek and the pond you mentioned when I was down there last year! Not so much for the fishing as I just wanted to stand in the place where you made the video! Lots of great memories from down there because of what you share, and as such, I wear my CFA shirts proudly! God bless!!

Congrats man, been here 4 years love the content. GREAT JOB God bless

Keep up the great videos. Always look forward for your videos. Congratulations!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing John! Really interesting as a small creator to have some insight from a big creator!

Awesome Job John! God's continued blessings for you and yours on this journey!

*Congrats John! That's* awesome!

Congratulations on a million buddy. I've been watching since you were still doing HVAC and just stopping at bridges to get in a little fishing. Thank you for putting in the effort to bring us great content through all these years. 👊👍

I had forgotten that he did HVAC but now that you said it, I remember back then too! Congratulations John and thank you for all the years of entertainment and knowledge!!!! Blessings

Congratulations John. Hope it, and your other videos keep on growing so you can continue to bring us along on your journeys. God Bless. I am a whole video watcher almost every time. The only ones I may or may not watch that long are the two hour ones just because I try to watch them while working (shhhh. LOL!).

Thanks for sharing John!

Oh man. I remember that video. That's so epic. God is good! Congratulations on your first 1,000,000 views video. More are coming! Thanks for sharing. ...I still find it hard to understand why folks that regularly watch a channel don't subscribe, and then a channel has say 500,000 subscribers, a video with 750,000 views, but only 200 likes. Makes no sense to me. Keep 'em coming. For your channel, I watch the whole video, beginning to end, and rarely fast forward at all. Just sayin'. A couple more of those and maybe you can get a 4K camera and a couple of fish tanks to spice up your channel and add some viewers. 🤔 Blessings!

“Urban fishing” is the key to success. That’s a hugely popular topic. Try it again and see. Oh! and congrats!

Thanks! Will do!

congratulations john it was a surprise that they was so many fish in there looking forward to more of your videos

Brother its always interesting and you are genuine. Your integrity is admirable and that comes through your videos also. Watching to the end as per usual and its been a fun journey to be with you from the low teens. There's no fluff, cussing or anything to worry about showing anyone. May God continue to bless your endeavors John

Love the content man, love the channel long time viewer and Sub. I have learned a ton about creek fishing and this has become my new favorite way to fish.

I love that I was catching up on your Walmart budget challenge video and then this popped up. I'll go back to the other one! Thanks for the great content. I've gained so much fishing knowledge from your videos!

I like the odd fishing videos.Fishing out of a sewer grate in a parking lot,frozen vastness,next to the freeway,like,like like. And although I'm not a religious person I like the scripture quotes too.Congratulations on a million and an inside look at KZread.

John, Congrats on Million Views on the video. I try to watch all your videos. I have ordered your cap autographed Creek Monster Tee-shirt, bracelets, fridge magnet also spoke to your sister on my order she did a Outstanding Job taking care of my order. God Blessed You . Tim L.

Awesome thank you!

I do 90 percent or more of the time watch the whole videos for you! You are one of maybe 5 KZreadrs I do that for. lol But as we have talked about before, I can relate to you with our life experiences and really look up to you and respect you for putting Jesus first in your life. As for memberships, I've never paid for one but you may be the one to change that.. I just want to fish with you some day! I've tried a few times to win the tourney so I could have the chance to do that, but my bass aren't cutting it lol! Plus I'm in Ohio haha. God bless you John, and thank you for inspiring so much of my KZread fishing channel

Congrats on the milestone! I hear you about fishing right now. We've had multiple weeks of 105+ heat index lately, and we even went like 5 days straight without it dropping below 80*. It's too hot to be out there fishin.

Congratulations Bro. John

Awesome job buddy!!! I think my biggest video has only got 2,000 views!! 😂😂😂😂 doing the best I can with what I know to do at least!!! Congratulations 👏 👏

Awesome video, wow that is so awesome you made that much on that video. I remember seeing it last year and was like wow I can't believe there are fish there in town like that 😂! Good tips on the thumbnail!

Congratulations on the million. I've been watching your videos from day one. There just good and you never know what you will catch.👍👍👍

That's pure awesomeness my man on a million views, what the video shows is there's probably many streams inside the city limits in every city in America, & now people are going around their city fishing those streams because they may not have a way outside the city, it's great to have income coming in like that, what do you think a person with 1.6 million subscribers would make per month? Well as far as a patron membership I won't become a member because of their terms, but there is a way that a person could become a member without using patron, I was a member to another channel & he didn't use patron!🎣👍

Been watching u for years now, I enjoy the sites ,and the Bible verses at the end

Congrats John. Your content always brings me peace. Most appreciated

Congratulations on this awesome announcement! I have been a subscriber since almost the beginning and your videos keep getting better and better. Looking forward to many more. Regards from Central Arkansas.

Congrats on such a milestone ! Just know, we are viewers for life ! Keep up the good work and you'll continue to be blessed. Pap Blevins

Watch all your videos to the end. Love how excited you get no matter what bites. Water is a bit muddy where we fish & the clear water you fish in is crazy to see. Hoping to order a creek monster shirt & sticker soon!

You should definitely get a patreon. Diversifying your income adds security that you will get to keep doing this for longer despite the uncertain environment of KZread. And we all know the more that you make, the more will go back into the channel. I say send it brother.

Congrats man! Doing it big.

I'd definitely be interested in a membership! I've followed your channel since very early on and it finally inspired to make my own channel.

Congratulations!

Just keep doing what you’re doing John. As long as I get to see you wading in a creek/kayaking instead of goggling at a forward facing sonar screen I’m good. I love your content for the type of fishing you do and your character and testimony. I’m down for a Patreon membership 👍🏽

Really enjoy watching you, have even got the kids and grandkids watching. I like the idea of a live for members. How about a “members only” shirt and maybe a yearly or biyearly drawing for a chance to go fish with you for premium members?

Ha! I just watched that the other day finally!

🤔 thanks! Keep the videos coming!

I remember that vido city ditch fishing is fun sometimes, I like to watch to the end tosee the bible quotes and maybe something funny you might add

Awesome video brother I would love to collaborate with you John! I live over in pigeon forge fish nothing but the creeks your the reason I even got into fishing! Just starting out on KZread hopefully me and you can get a creek session in oneday brother!

That’s awesome! Congrats on the 1Mill views!

Been with you from the beginning...I remember that video....never ever would think that would hold fish...think it might had been your old Chevy that was at the shop

Cool Video watched until the end🎉

Love your videos thanks for the info been wanting to start my channel but. I need to figure out how to edit videos I sucks with that stuff

Congrats, that was the first video I saw from you!!!

Congrats! That's awesome.

Congratulations, keeps up the great work

Congratulations. Been here since the beginning

My friend told me about you at work. He loves to fish a lot and he was fishing on the Hiwassee, or the Ocoee area is Polk County, Tn and he said he saw you once at a distance. im trying to get him to start his own yt fishing channel cause he's only 25 but he catches big old catfish almost every night on his off time and for his age it is quite impressive with his amount of angling experience.

Tickled to death for you John, it’s well deserved!!

God blesses those who follow him. Congrats brother. Love your channel.

KZread is very much so throwing crap at a wall and seeing what sticks. My highest viewed videos were low effort or the algorithm randomly picked it up. My most recent semi viral one was dead for 450+ days and randomly it went from 7,300 views on may 1st to 454,047 today June 8th. Congrats on the 1mil club lol found your stuff around when it was around 200-300 subs and here we are 😂

Well deserved sir - excellent challenge.

Excellent info! Best fishing channel on KZread!

Hey, I'm first like and view for the first time!

Rest assured, I'm one of the ones who watch the whole video. Keep it up

Thanks for the insights John . Just want to ask one thing : what about your other channel ? Will it have more contents ? I kinda like that too .

too hot to think about camping right now haha, havent gotten serious enough yet

do what you feel is right for you---as for me, I watch all your videos all the way through because I enjoy each and every one of them but if you do patreon membership like several of my other youtube favorites started doing I can not join---I am just on SS so my funds are limited...pretty much my only source of fun is watching certain youtubers and I love that until recently it has been free to watch (by that I mean the people I watch have just recently started memberships) I am concerned that eventually the trend will be that in order for you guys to continue making more money it will involve everyone paying a monthly fee and if that happens I will have to quit watching cause even as cheap as the price may seem to everyone for those on small fixed income it is not affordable to join the memberships of the youtubers we watch---not even if free things are given as a reward....like I said at the beginning do what feels right to you but this old lady just can not afford to follow along by paying a membership to you or anyone of my favorite youtubers---I wish I could but it is not feasible.....congratulations on the million views, you were hard to put good video out there for us----you talk alot which is one thing I like in videos-if the person talks very little I do not watch them...I prefer a youtuber who talks as if we are right there with them participating in whatever is going on----fishing, cooking whatever the content is about....you are actually even outdoing Fishing With Nordby as far as your verbal skills and a lot of the time your videos are even better ....keep enjoying what you do and do what you must to keep up with the times and increase your income....you are a wonderful Spirit filled man of God, may His blessings continue to rain down upon you

It was videos like those which attracted me to your channel when you had under 10k subs

Congrats!!! I wouldve thought that you were paid a little more than that. YT seems to be stingy with its pay outs. Sis you get that 5k all at once or was it paid out over a few months?

@CreekFishingAdventures

youtube pays out monthly

Way to go, a million is still a lot 😂 found your channel about a year ago and I think I’ve seen over 300! Absolutely love the kayak river trips. Keep up the great work

I think as you pick up subscribers they look at your older videos, so that would explain a surge after a video has been out for a while. I’m glad you can make a living doing what you love. I think that’s the beauty of KZread; it’s a win for everyone.

If you open a patreon I'll be a subscriber to it. Some things I've seen other people offer is early notification and ability to buy new merchandise. Also offer like a sticker or small merch or whatever if you're a member at a certain level for 3 months or so. Maybe do something for top tier members for 3 or 6 months have the opportunity to get into a raffle to go fishing with you or call and ask you fishing questions or have live videos so often for certain tier members to be able to be more interactive. But once it's open I'll join.

Great job with the video. If it benefits you to do the subscription based additional channel go for it! I'm in the process of slowing down my subscriptions in general. Everything and everyone is charging more from TV providers, to others like Disney and Peacock. I pay for Fishing Chaos and KBF as well as TourneyX and even KZread Premium. Car companies are starting to do it to remote start your car and on and on. Again, if it benefits you and people are asking for it, go for it. My hope is that it doesn't limit the content that you currently make available on this channel even if things are a delayed release is fine. I've seen others go to the additional patreon and other channels and limit what is now available on the regular KZread channel content they used to provide. Personally I cannot justify any more subscriptions. Just a couple thoughts. I hope it works out for you, but please don't cut the content on this channel.
