Posting videos showing ur raw emotions when you get frustrated is awesome, I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets frustrated like that when I lose mondos. Keeping posting like this bro! Looking forward to watching all the videos to come!
The kayak and elements WILL test you. I love kayak fishing the most because of it. The bass boat life is cool but not my fav, shore fishing is fun and I have a lot of spots I really enjoy but there's just something about how the kayak let's you get up and personal with nature in ways other style of fishing don't.
Jon you should do a float on the Susquehanna River in PA. You will be catching 3-4 pound smallmouth all day long. Best time to do it is in April/May. The Juniata River is awesome as well. I’ve had 100+ fish days on that river. You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks! I really enjoy filming more long for content like this. It allows us to capture the whole day/experience rather than having to worry about what we are going to film in less than a day. Thanks for watching KFNS homie!
Wind is definitely a piece of sh. I felt that initial laydown at camp on such a deep level. Always seems to happen that way out on a river haha. Cheers guys!
There is noting like fishing in Texas. I fish it daily and only scratch the surface of the endless opportunities. Tremendous video Jon, keep up the greatness!
You should go for smallies on the Susquehanna, there’s legit and free campsites on some of the islands. I did it last summer and it was a blast with some >5lb smallies
Love this style content from you! It’s a true cinematic master piece when you and Caleb put together these longer videos and trips. As always great work, keep it up!
That would be so much fun, it would be seriously cool to float a brackish river system where we have the option to catch a much wider range of fish species. Appreciate the suggestion man, KFNS!
I loved camping at the Brazos a month or so ago , but the Cossatot River in Southwest Arkansas is one of the most beautiful river ecosystems I've ever seen. Great Video as always 🫡🤙
Great video man and I have a suggestion for when you go back up to Maine. Float the Saco river. It's a crystal clear river that I've camped my whole life. Big smallies, trout, and I've lost a 7lb lmb too
You should try Village Creek in the Big Thicket. While not a major river, it flows into the Neches about 9 miles from the closest ramp. I did a 6 day, 5 night down it with my best friend. Tons of fish, great camping grounds on sandbars. I do not recommend going in the Spring/Early Summer, though. The water can be (and is) really high and fast. You can catch needlenose gar, crappie, sunfish, LMB, and HUGE Alligator Gar (6’-9’). I’ve even caught gar in the Neches on a 65 Whopper Plopper! There are tons of great turns, some slight challenges, beautiful scenery and nature, and great eddies everywhere. The trip we did was a 65-70m trek. We brought 10 g of water, fishing poles & tackle, one tent, a dog, a cast iron pan, chairs, a pot, cups, frozen prepared foods & meats in a 5-day cooler, sunscreen, snacks, and those water flavor packs. It was awesome. You need some light pants for floats like that. And a brimmed hat. Splash your shirt with water to keep cooler. When the sun is bouncing onto your face, wear a face shield. It will make your trip less irritating. Just take off everything after you setup camp and you don’t have to worry about pesky tan lines! 🤣
I’ve been fishing that stretch of river my whole life! If you can get past all the dinks there are big fish down there! Crazy to see you guys fishing my home turf👍🏻
Jon! Watching you ever since, im so happy to see how you are developing! Love your videos, u motivate me alot to go fishing myself! Greetings from Germany!
Get you a Bixpy or some sort of motor for your yak is a game changer, especially in the wind. I run a SS107 with a Bixpy on the rudder, it’s awesome!! Great video!
Your videos keep me going! Consider the Columbia River on the West Coast! Some amazing smallmouth, rock bass, sturgeon, and, salmon fishing on that river!!
great series!! I've done a 2 night kayak camp trip down the ausable River in Michigan and it was one of the best trips pulling up to shore and setting up camp.. We didn't do a whole lot of fishing but still was a great experience. We were in smaller sit inside yaks but now if i do it again i'll have to have one of those big yaks! That's a game changer
I was skeptical about floating the Brazos, now I want to. Also, we’ve floated the 11 point river in Soithern Missouri. Spring fed and really cold in hottest months. It has trout all year
come to Pennsylvania and fish the great Susquehanna River i can show you some amazing spots quality smallies!! Beautiful series Jon keep up the hard work
jon you should come out to idaho and come fish some rivers up north, got real good small mouth fishing in the rivers and good largemouth fishing in the lakes, me and my buddies have pulled out all ranges of 5-9 pound large mouth
Loved the series, I suggest going back to arizona and floating the colorado. Making your way down to lake martinez and fishers. and keep following it to hidden shores. Start as far north as ya want too.
Oh so you want good bass fishing in California? Head north! Check out Clear Lake, Lake Berryesa, and Lake Sonoma for starters. There are MANY more btw. Northern California has some GREAT fishing! Both fresh and Saltwater. Down by San Diego there is good fishing as well. The L.A area sucks though!
maybe check out south llano river or if there is still a good amount of water in Nolan river I'd check it out too. caught some big ol bass out of there and a ton of sandies.
or t least from the headwaters to MPLS! I did the entire length with family. Took us 2 years total(1 month each summer, that work thing gets in the way). Started in small 1 person Kayaks, switched to canoes, then to big freight canoes on the lower stretch to deal with barge wakes.Met some awesome people along the way, people who had little but shared a meal(we always left them with a bunch of fish) and a beer... trip of a lifetime! To do it all in one go would be awesome but that is a LONG trip! 2,340 miles!
you should fish the frio river out in the hill country. i was there a few months ago and caugt over 30 lbs of fish in two days. also pulled an 8 pounder out of there
