I never would have thought a fun little 4.5-hour float on the Illinois River would result in me catching the biggest smallmouth bass of my life! John from ‪@CreekFishingAdventures‬ and I were tired of not catching smallmouth during the Bassmaster Kayak National Championship on Tenkiller Lake. The day after we went looking for bronze and holy smokes we found some good ones! Enjoy the video!

What else would you expect from a couple creek guys on a river. We have to do more trips this summer

I’m 5 min from that bridge y’all put in at, & that little stretch is one of my favorites when I’ve only got a couple hours to fish. That spot where the power lines cross is always money. 20”+ fish are in there, but they’re not easy to find. An 18” smallie there is very brag-worthy. Glad y’all enjoyed our beautiful river!

Hell yeah brother. Caught a 4-5 lb smallmouth while rafting down the river, and everyone around was surprised seeing fish that size

@thecreekcrawler Месяц назад

That place was pretty dang special!!

@the7thbananaking Месяц назад

We jokingly call Illinois River Smallmouth "Meth Bass" for how hard they fight. Horsing in a 21.5 incher on 8 lb test and spinning gear is a blast.

@rocksandoil2241 3 месяца назад

You and Creek Fishing John - Found you via him. I hope you two can combine on other trips - And being only a couple miles from the Illinois River myself, it's good fishing. I have a question, I see a lot of tournament fishermen using a left-hand baitcasting reel. But I suspect most are right-handers. Is that just because it saves the step of switching hands after the cast? Probably a Chesnut Lamprey. There is also a brook lamprey in OK.

@thecreekcrawler 3 месяца назад

We definitely are going to fish again!! I would love to live close to that river! I have always used a left handed reel. I am a righty though. It just seems natural that way for me. I believe you may be right for the brook lamprey. We have them in Ohio

That spot is all about timing! When they are in there swimbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits anything that mimics a baitfish will get bit.

Do you just straight retrieve that trace or do you put some action on it with the rod? I've got a trace and never caught anything on it.

@thecreekcrawler 3 месяца назад

I put action on it with my retrieve. If you notice I will vary my retrieve speed. This makes the bait swing wide left and right and come to a stop. It gets them fired up!!
