Watching you fish gives me a great feeling that spring is within reach

60s this weekend and can't wait to see some open water creeks and soak some lines. If something bites, phenomenal but if nothing does... I'll get my kicks here until then.

Grandson is 4, I have a nice small creek running through family property, gotta walk it and fish the holes. I'm taking him.

That ckearer water and the sun coming out is perfect for cold spring smallies. Their mean site feeding and that few deg. warmer temp from 10a-2p is ideal.

I need to visit Tennessee. Beautiful country.

I used the new black aurora Hellgrammite today and my goodness the smallies loved it

If I learned anything from this channel it's the Nikko Hellgrammite is a BEAST of a Fish Catching Lure....if they don't pay you as a SPONSOR they should

They do! It is his believer no.1!

Can't wait to go spring fishing, been waiting what feels like a year

I think every one is ready for spring brother! They're about to start blowing up! Gorgeous creek. Probably looked the same 200 years ago.

Time to put the braid back on the fishing reels. Glad winter is almost gone. Frozen eyes and spools make it tough.

Planning a trip to Newport in a couple weeks to fish the Pigeon for some pre-spawn smallies!

27 days until i move back to east tn. Can't wait! Might cross paths with ya, ill be in your neck of the woods🎣

Strike of the Mudbug!!! Those smallies are so strong! Great fishing tip...thanks for the info John. Be safe buddy.

Harpeth? Beautiful water wherever it is. Love these videos!!

John that makes me excited for tomorrow we're going to have 72° weather in Indiana in March unbelievable and only supposed to get down to high 50s smallmouth should be moving getting me fired up to catch them fantastical video John love those small mouth

I’m in Walland haven’t been out fishin yet after the winter we had, but I saw small copper head crossing Tellico river today. Then you put this out, guess it’s time to get in the water.

That looks like a great fly rod creek for smallmouth ... If you ever want a on the water class let me know and I can take a day off from work and we can have some on the water instruction with your 8 wgt.

I love it when you show incidental meets with your subscribers and how much people enjoy it

Great video I love how you fish as an average fisherman. Small boat, kayak, wade , walk the banks showing how you don't need a $60,000 bass boat thanks Chris from OHIO

Yes! I needed to see some Amalie’s. Can’t wait for the water up here in Ohio to warm up a little more.

Yes! My favorite kind of fishing! Good to see you catching smallies in creeks again. I love how you explain how you are disectimg the creek and how you are actually using the bait. I need to do more of that. Beautiful place and great video John.

Love the scriptures at the end of the videos

Early spring I love inline spinners

SPRING on this HOOK fishes! 🎣

Your info and explanations are excellent in helping me understand where to fish and what works. Thanks very much!

Went down to the creek today and caught my first creek fish of the year. Big ugly red breast. Then I caught my PB creek chub, but couldn't get a picture because he defecated all over my hand in a panic. Then I lost my rebel craw throwing into heavy cover and decided to call it a day because I was getting skunked. I'm so ready for it to warm up just another 10 degrees.

Great day fishing. God is good.

Love Dixie custom rods!

John that was beautiful , peaceful and inspiring . Keep it up with your amazing work

Beautiful scenery and creek to fish in !

Another great video John, informative and fun to watch. Keep the vids coming.

I LOVE FISHING!!!!

I went out yesterday and caught seven myself it was 78 degrees

Caught a 4 lb creek largie last week using a black 1/16 ball jig with a bass pro xps smoke pepper crappie grub. They sure love those small slow moving meals when its cold out!

Great video. Nice scenery mixed in! Thanks for sharing!

Maaaaan, I really miss the middle TN area. I’ve been invited back to fish with an old friend and I need to take him up on his offer. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Awesome video sir, great day out for the smallies.

John what a day, great video!

What a great video! Great fishing and beautiful scenery.

That creek looks amazing 👏 😍

We just had torrential rains for 2 days, great fishing still a little early around here but it sure is fun to watch you catch fish!

I can't wait for the fish to spawn.👍

I live in Chattanooga and if you ever want to go I will show you the creek where I caught a 4.6 and 4.9 small mouth and probably a 6+ large mouth. It was this time last year. Haven't hit it yet because with all this rain lake Chickamauga is up so I have been busting some largies. Caught 5.12oz. largie tonight at Harrison Bay. It's got maybe one more good night before it's down to lake bed again and the fish move off the bank but after that back to the creek.

So instructional. I love it. Love the video

Looks great man. I'm ready to go get on some for sure. Good luck this year.

Definitely going to get out later this month or early April. Typically have done IL wading after May 1st but I've got decent BPS waders. I know that there have been missed opportunities. Guys catch them here on plastics in March on the Kankakee River. Very nice tutorial and great to be interrupted by another keeper. Dragging the bottom in the current is key. Thanks for sharing brother man. Blessings 🙌

watchin this getting ready to go out this spring in east tennessee. surprised to hear you were on the other side of the plateau ‼️

Very informative, thanks

Wish we had creeks like that. Great vid.

Well John, it's good to see someone starting to catch fish. Thanks for the tips on your hellgrammite technique. Good to see clear water. Our river and creeks are still muddy. It's March, so Kentuckians had to renew their annual license. We are "chompin' at the bit" to get at it ! I noticed the short clip of Cumberland Falls that you posted. Was this your first visit there ? The water is high which makes for dramatic (and somewhat scary) view of springtime runoff. Any chance of fishing video footage from your slightly northern adventure ?? Hope so! Please, always be careful because we can't live without your videos !!! LOL ! Randy B.

Such clear water! Down south where we film there isn’t much clear water but it’s definitely pretty! God bless and tight lines from FishHooked 🎣🎣

Hi John love your videos nice fish

Was waiting for this video from you lol just in time

Love that bait. Been skunked up here in MN on the Sippi backwaters last few times. Maybe it's too early yet

Something to watch at work

Nice spot!

John , Yes I can feel it, can't wait to get out there. God has Blessed You. Fishing is great part of the outdoors and creek fishing is the best. Tim L.

Awesome looking smallmouth buddy!!!

That is a dang good looking hat

Mmmmmman I love your channel mostly because of how excited you get catching fish... Hahahahaha... Man!!! That looks fun... Its been SUPER slow out here on the Northern California Delta... Hopefully that changes this month...

Thank you for being a teacher. On my way south to float the Santa Fe, at your suggestion/inspiration. Got hellgramites, Rebel Craw, and Yum Dingers, among other options. Any last minute advice?

Would you mind telling me what hooks you use to make your swim baits weedless like at the beginning of the video? Great video as always! Hitting the creek tomorrow! Hellgramite all day!

I have post-polio syndrome. I struggle everyday just to get around. But, I'm gonna try me a kayak and take my cheap zebco catch fish.

Great video what is your favorite color for the Nikko Hellgrammite and Bobby garland baby shad

Good stuff, I have a feeling your going to kill it this year, lots of videos with lots of fish

Would love to fish with you if your ever back through Missouri

Hey I got a spot it’s a little ways from you but it’s in Sherwood Tennessee close to the alabama line but there is some giant large mouth spots and smallies in it, and maybe if you want to when we get them biting you can go down there one day plus I would love to be in one of your vids

Always fun to watch! Hey John, what brand is your measuring stick? Thx

You would catch so many more fish if you read the river better and looked for those seams and transitions......that creek looks amazing and being Tennessee their are some giants in it !!
