Congrats bro!!! Can’t wait to link up once I’m done this snakehead trip lol be ready to see some monster snakehead pics hopefully!😂😂 tights ines bro and awesome video! That tunnel is stacked!
Fishing fact. Nightcrawler sufficate under water. That movement from it sufficating attracts fish. Also fresh water fish most likely would never come across a night crawler naturally in the wild.
smallies, catfish and muskie are my top 3 fav to target, all 3 put up the best fights, good times. That little creek had some decent size fish, nice vid
@@FishHawk you will be hooked once you land your 1st 40" plus muskie. My 1st was 52" long, that was hands down the best fight, and most fun I've had fishing to date, and I've been doin it for 30+ yrs. If you ever get a chance to fish Lake St Clair in Michigan or Cave Run in Kentucky, there are alot of great muskie fisheries out there, those 2 are some of the better ones. It took us a day and a half to get one to commit, but it sure was worth it. 3 day trip we caught 3 and all were 42" plus, tons of monster pike and walleye as well.
"how did he come off" i can answer this. there's a thin membrane of flesh between the maxilla and cheek, it's very fragile and the fish ripped the membrane. this happens mostly with a perfect hookset so dont feel too bad :P
Right? My grandpa Bill taught me to fish 50 years ago..and I can still hear him everytime I get Fish On.. he says ...keep that rod tip up, Terry, or you gunna lose it🥰😉💧👍
Great job on this video. I really like your editing style. You showcase the highlights and cut out all of the excessive casts and hiking around etc. I've watched a ton of fishing videos and lots of them just drag on with very little actual highlights.
@@noah_juan_ishome5360 here in Virginia we have a trophy fish awards. Smallmouth bass (20" or 5lbs) or over are considered as a citation size. Means you follow the steps in documentation to receive a award.
Spegittioos nacho I busted 5 fish down yesterday Lil one's though bigger ones wasn't butting yesterday. 5 I wonder how the snappers are survining. Going again Saturday night and Sunday morning .
Nice, those small mouth were chunks. We saw it. I count it. lol I used to creek fish a lot for bass. With covid and being laid off and all the new cool plastics i might head to the creek a few days a week. I prefer live bait though but i want to try some of the new plastic stuff. i have been out of the game for about 20 years now.
Hes done, hes done, Spittwooie! Hahaha....yep. That's fish'n!! Real worms work best. Always. And det cord. Det cord always works too!! Just might not want to deploy in that tunnel. Great video ...as always! Thanks!
In my defense, it was around 3 lbs if I had to guess. Which for the area I live, that's a really nice smallmouth. But somewhere like Lake Erie, 3 lbs is small. I catch 5-6 pounders up there.
You are so entertaining. Thank you for this. Lots of cool teachable moments in your videos. I’m new to fishing and I appreciate the time you take to show us your tackle and methods of approaching creek fishing. Cheers my man. Tight lines.
Man I love your fishing show some of the places you go to I'm in electric wheelchair and I live in Seattle there's plenty of places to fish that I can get to the man some of the places you go is just awesome keep it up bro God bless
I love these small creek videos ! They are great. I live and fish in Florida, so most of my fishing is salt water. I do fish rivers and other fresh water,but it's big water. Born in WV. I fished many small creeks and rivers. Wow ! What a blast. Nothing beats clear water creeks and streams. So many different fish too catch. Way to go mate. Bloody-well good. Tom DB,FL.
I just moved to TN from being a life long Floridian. I was having inshore withdrawal and then realized I get to fish creeks here and it brought me out of my depression, I went and got a bunch of ultra light gear and love wading around in these creeks.
Good ole worms when all else fails. Surprised that Panther Martin Classic in-line spinner failed to produce. It is magic when creek fishing in my parts.
5:11 knew he was gonna come off. Fought him too hard. Let that drag out and take him for a walk. They tire out eventually. Shouldn’t have let him jump either.
Another great video!! Sorry you lost that big smallmouth, was a real bummer. But you'll get another one. I like your positive attitude and perseverance!
not trying to preach anything to you or anything like that you're awesome great fisherman love your videos I'm a subscriber but I wanted to give you a tip I learned on bass tournaments when you set the hook keep the tip of your rod at least 2 inch below the surface of the water so when he jumps and shakes his head he want spit it you can jerk him right back in the water with the tip of your rod 2 inches below the surface to keep the tension on the hook as well
alright after reading this comment and trying it out that shit works. I fish a slightly longer rod and I keep mine down to the second loophole. Works fantastic
Nice fish, might have been tempted to keep that last cat. Good video, Fishhawk. No matter where you are, when you're by a river there is beauty all around. I'd recommend some slow mo scans just rotating on your tripod. Check different angles a bit, water level up high, whatever. Just take time to find the reasons we all fish, besides catching fish. I told someone on a fishing forum, I'd rather wade a trout stream or any cold clear stream and get skunked than have a great day on a lake. Of course, I love perch, bluegill and walleye to eat. So I will suffer fishing on a lake for the harvest. Ok, here's the ugly. When you go to set the hook and you hear your drag start letting go during the hookset, you've lost hooking power. Turn your drag up, it puts more force into the hookset, pushing that hook in farther into the fish. You won't lose a fish/snap the line, on the hookset w your drag set at full. I fish 10 lb mono for steelhead and have never had a fish snap my line and my drag has never went off during a hookset. Idk, maybe you're trying to add drama to it. Everytime you go to set the hook and I hear your drag go off I just shake my head, then you lose it and I'm like, yep.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback. I will tighten my drag and try that. Then I loosen it during the fight if it's a bigger fish. Not trying to add drama. Just trying not to break my line in case I hook a big fish.
Thanks man! Typically, if the water is low and clear I try to keep my distance so the fish don't see me. But this spot had a really steep bank. Couldn't get much closer or I would have fell in lol
Congrats on the 30 000 subs. Sorry you lost the big one. A few weeks ago a had a 3 week skunk fest, had like 7 fish threw the hook during that span. The worst one was at least a 6 lbs smallmouth river fishing. Had it out of the water but it got loose right before I could take hold of it. That was a PB for sure and gut wrenching to see it go without me holding it and taking a pic.
