Slaying Smallmouth Kayaking the Little Pigeon River

The bite started off slow but really heated up towards the end of the day. Caught a bunch of quality smallies, but could only get them fishing finesse, fishing the rock walls very slow letting my lure sink to the bottom and they would bite it so lightly. Just a fun day overall fishing with Josh ‪@BASSnBEER‬ . Be sure and check out his channel as he catches a lot of giant smallmouth mostly from kayaks in the Knoxville area.

I would work hay for our horses and local farmers, then fish the river. Used the $5 hour I made to pay for tackle and bait. Sevierville was a small sleepy town back then.... Thank for the video.

    Kill in’ it brother. My dad started out watching your videos a WHILE ago and he got me started watching a while ago. I’ve been bass fishing (with some tournaments) on boat and last year got a kayak so I l started watching kayak fisherman. All the while I’ve been watching every video from you as they give me notifications. NOW, my father-in-law who religiously fishes for steelhead, after I showed him a few of your Creek walks, he’s watching too. You’re converting fisherman, man! Nice work. All your videos are my morning tea/coffee videos. And since I’m now getting into kayak fishing, this video is absolutely killer. Unfortunately we’re super restricted in Ohio because of weather. I intended to wade tomorrow for some rock bass but we’re getting 30° and snow/rain up to 2”. But Saturday AM we’re looking at 50° so we’re headed to Conneaut for steelhead. Nice catches, I’m jealous, rock on, and you’re a lucky guy. Have fun and hook’em.

I was so curious how you all got by it because I could not find a way around it, I was by myself which made it even worse but I literally unloaded all my gear and lifted my kayak down that wall by myself and then reloaded. Was the only way I could think of to do it, didn’t even think about paddling back up river should have paid attention lol. Great video though and very helpful!

Better break out some kind of Suntan Lotion there, the next time you wear shorts, and end up sitting in your Kayak, fishin'! I remember one time back in 1980, when my Brother, and a friend of ours, went swimming on a hot June day, at the City Swimming Pool. I got sunburned so bad on my legs, , that I didn't even want to move for a couple days. It hurt like fire!!! Just be careful out there, with shorts on. Lather up the ol' legs with some sunblock, or something that'll keep you from getting burnt to the proverbial crisp! Tight lines to ya, Brother, and keep on haulin' in them fish!!!
