It's cool to see a person catching bass, and having fun. I see sooooo many "bass fisherman", using like 75 pound test line that almost yank the fishes head off, and hydroplane it back to the boat.😂😂😂

At the most if you are fishing for bass you should only be 15-30 lb test line idk why they use 74 pounds

Idk if it’s the amount of fish you catch, the places you fish being so gorgeous, or your calming a** voice.. but man do I love watch your videos!

Love all John's videos but he especially shines when he does Dalton roots fishing, multispecies, ultralight tackle, small water fishing. Nobody can match him.

Beautiful Timber Rattler / Canebreak ! I love these rattle snakes... Color combination is usually stunning ! I've caught many .

John this channel is so like my childhood fishing that I never quit as a adult. At 59 still my favorite type of fishing steam, ditch or creek I love to to do it. Thanks for your videos

I remember the video you made last time..that water sure is low indeed. Thanks for the footage John .God Bless

Beautiful snake and some good fishing. Like you, I wouldn’t take my eyes off that rattler until it was FAR away!

I love fisherman stories. Always about the one that got away.”It was this big!” he said.(Ha,Ha) Love it. Stay safe mate. Shoutout from Australia. 👍🇦🇺😁

Good day fishing, exciting to see the Rattle snake. I am also glad to see you just let it go. Enjoyed the video!

Used to fish the Ocoee a ton!! My In-Laws owned a house about 2 hours float down from the dam below the lake. I spent a bunch of time wade fishing and canoeing. Loved that place

That last picture of the Rattlesnake, with that particular memory verse-Perfect! Great verse of scripture, there. Glad you didn't get bitten by that bugger!

Nice variety of fish, Thanks for sharing!

Glad to see you back out having fun and catching fish. Love fishing with a 6 foot light. Caught a 15 1/2" black crappie on my 6' Lews light. What a fight, but the Lews held up to the challenge.

I love those Bobby Garland soft plastics. I have caught so many crappie on the blue ice color!

That snake was like an all terrain vehicle 😂

John , you showed that Rattle Snake can be everywhere and anywhere . You showed respect and gave it room so that it could go on it's way. Great Video and good day fishing God has Blessed You. Tim.

Thank you for respecting the snake. As a wise man once said, "you only put yourself in danger when you try to put OTHERS in danger"

Appreciate how realistic you stay, lots of good tips yet entertaining everytime

I love fishing all three of those dams , they are fun and sometimes can be amazing fishing. That is the second rattlesnake I have seen in that area , the other was by the walkway that goes over the river downstream from there.

Nice mixed bag of fish, bass lures then switching to the ultralight spinning rod for good numbers. The action is always fun minus the snake. Not many poisonous ones in IL but the water snakes are feisty. We always give them a wide berth. Love the sunset closer. Thanks for sharing brother man.

Beautiful baby Timberback, I have hundreds of them out here where I live and some of them are really big, they seem to dominate the Diamond backs, because when I first moved to my property it was the Diamonds that prevailed, but since we had 3 hurricanes come over our heads in one season, the timbers came this way to escape the flooding and now the Diamonds are kinda rare now!!....Got fat Moccasins and Corals too, never a dull moment out here, I've gotten really good at scoping out where I walk, saved my ass about a dozen times now, but have lost two dogs to big vipers though!!

I'm late to the party, but Canebreak and Timber Rattlers have officially been classed as Timber Rattler, even though there will always be reginal names. Another regional name for them was velvet tailed rattler.

Cool video. Reminded me of growing up on the Missouri River.

The little ones are more dangerous. They don't know to save more venom for other predators, so they will dump their whole load! :) Cool video!

Nice little fish , watch out for Mr.No shoulder lol

I like when my local damn is up its hard to fish but thats when the monsters bite mostly. Good video man .

Awesome video Creek Fishing adventures man I would not want to be near snakes when I'm fishing I tell you what when I went up to lake Erie a few years ago up in Sandusky there were snakes all over the place I even bravely walked through the clear fork Mohican River full of water moccasins from one side to the other side years ago did not get bit that was when I was camping and fishing at Mohican State Park with my grandparents many years ago

I can testify that Rattlesnakes will go in the river. I guided the section of the Nolichucky River that flows from Poplar NC to Erwin TN. Back in 78 I noticed a snake in the water that was heading towards my raft. When it was about 20' away I realized it was an Eastern Diamondback and we tried to steer it away but it kept coming. I whacked it with my paddle and that stunned it enough so that we were able to get away from it. That gorge is full of them...

Still a very nice day to be out there be outside. Great video

Enjoyed this video as always entertaining !

Last time I went out I caught a water moccasin on a stick bait. Thanks for the videos

Stay safe and watch your six when kneeing down. A pole with a 10-12 inch knife works well. Carry a shovel and bury the head. The head can bite for over an hour after separation so that is the reason to shovel the head into a hole. You will be surprised by how many fish will go after the rest of the snake. If you can ..., skin it first for fish bait. Did you say this was the first time for a rattlesnake? Enjoyed the video.

Nothing like a random rattlesnake encounter to spice up your day, hehe.

Great scenery John. Loved the red sky in the background near the end of the video. Ultralight is great fun. You inspired my 13 year old son to try ultralight fishing. Thanks John from your friends in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎣

Beautiful little danger noodle! Timbers are one of my favorite rattlesnake species, and one of the more mellow tempered.

Heard you say “trout magnet “ and got excited that the TM was making a come back to the channel… then I saw you out the itty bit on the TM jighead. You should do a video on the Ity bit vs the TM to see which Micro lure catches more fish

Do you ever get to South Holston Dam/Lake in Bristol, Tn? That's was my home stomping grounds as a kid.

I had one crawl underneath my tackle bag that I set down on the bank. I go to pick up my bag and SURPRISE! It rattled it's rattle and striked at me. I was very lucky it didn't get me

That river at the end was like glass, with the sun going down would be a good time for some top water fishing. Mister Rattlesnake was out looking for grub and a drink of water.

Probably a snapping turtle tugging on the catfish rod. Happens to me all the time especially in rivers.

Beautiful Canebrake rattler, about 2 years old, depending on the buttons, they add a button each time it sheds.

Fun UL fishing. Thanks for sharing. Subbed.

Is this right below the parksville lake there at the corner is that the same dam did not know you can fish down there

Have you ever used reaction innovations swim baits

I see alot of fishing spot possibilities but the snake thing gets me every time.

What I do when deciding on what size reel to use is which reel balances the best on the rod you are using

You should fish Indian creek in Claiborne county Tennessee. Real close to Powell river. Just curious to see how you’d do there!

Is that Porterdale Ga? That generating station looks like the one there. 👍

I reckon we all have different priorities....I would tried ra catch the fish then deal with the snake....my granddaughter said snake first poppa, duh. Thanks for sharing John, God bless.
