  • Finally got that video every creator dreams of, a MILLION VIEWS!!
    while it's not my main goal, it's awesome to see one get to that milestone. Also, I am showing this to show you don't need videos to get to a million to make a living and be a successful youtuber.
    Million views video • Surprised by Urban Dit...

    Congratulations sir I’ve been with your channel since the beginning and I still enjoy it as much now as I did then. Your loyal viewers watch the whole video every time I know I always do

    Wow, what a great achievement! How awesome, congratulations!! I even remember that video. Next goal: 10 million views! Also, your videos inspired me to start my own little channel.

    Back in the late 1970's I use to walk to the Village down those Back allies and I'd get down in them and catch crawdads for fishing. Love your channel brother.

    Congratulations John. Hope it, and your other videos keep on growing so you can continue to bring us along on your journeys. God Bless. I am a whole video watcher almost every time. The only ones I may or may not watch that long are the two hour ones just because I try to watch them while working (shhhh. LOL!).

    I do 90 percent or more of the time watch the whole videos for you! You are one of maybe 5 CZcamsrs I do that for. lol But as we have talked about before, I can relate to you with our life experiences and really look up to you and respect you for putting Jesus first in your life. As for memberships, I've never paid for one but you may be the one to change that.. I just want to fish with you some day! I've tried a few times to win the tourney so I could have the chance to do that, but my bass aren't cutting it lol! Plus I'm in Ohio haha. God bless you John, and thank you for inspiring so much of my CZcams fishing channel

    Oh man. I remember that video. That's so epic. God is good! Congratulations on your first 1,000,000 views video. More are coming! Thanks for sharing. ...I still find it hard to understand why folks that regularly watch a channel don't subscribe, and then a channel has say 500,000 subscribers, a video with 750,000 views, but only 200 likes. Makes no sense to me. Keep 'em coming. For your channel, I watch the whole video, beginning to end, and rarely fast forward at all. Just sayin'. A couple more of those and maybe you can get a 4K camera and a couple of fish tanks to spice up your channel and add some viewers. 🤔 Blessings!

  • @brianathern9154

    Brother its always interesting and you are genuine. Your integrity is admirable and that comes through your videos also. Watching to the end as per usual and its been a fun journey to be with you from the low teens. There's no fluff, cussing or anything to worry about showing anyone. May God continue to bless your endeavors John

  • @johnnyweaver1300
    @johnnyweaver1300 Před 17 dny

    That's pure awesomeness my man on a million views, what the video shows is there's probably many streams inside the city limits in every city in America, & now people are going around their city fishing those streams because they may not have a way outside the city, it's great to have income coming in like that,
    what do you think a person with 1.6 million subscribers would make per month? Well as far as a patron membership I won't become a member because of their terms, but there is a way that a person could become a member without using patron, I was a member to another channel & he didn't use patron!🎣👍

He loves to fish a lot and he was fishing on the Hiwassee, or the Ocoee area is Polk County, Tn and he said he saw you once at a distance. im trying to get him to start his own yt fishing channel cause he's only 25 but he catches big old catfish almost every night on his off time and for his age it is quite impressive with his amount of angling experience.

    do what you feel is right for you---as for me, I watch all your videos all the way through because I enjoy each and every one of them but if you do patreon membership like several of my other youtube favorites started doing I can not join---I am just on SS so my funds are limited...pretty much my only source of fun is watching certain youtubers and I love that until recently it has been free to watch (by that I mean the people I watch have just recently started memberships) I am concerned that eventually the trend will be that in order for you guys to continue making more money it will involve everyone paying a monthly fee and if that happens I will have to quit watching cause even as cheap as the price may seem to everyone for those on small fixed income it is not affordable to join the memberships of the youtubers we watch---not even if free things are given as a reward....like I said at the beginning do what feels right to you but this old lady just can not afford to follow along by paying a membership to you or anyone of my favorite youtubers---I wish I could but it is not feasible.....congratulations on the million views, you were hard to put good video out there for us----you talk alot which is one thing I like in videos-if the person talks very little I do not watch them...I prefer a youtuber who talks as if we are right there with them participating in whatever is going on----fishing, cooking whatever the content is about....you are actually even outdoing Fishing With Nordby as far as your verbal skills and a lot of the time your videos are even better ....keep enjoying what you do and do what you must to keep up with the times and increase your income....you are a wonderful Spirit filled man of God, may His blessings continue to rain down upon you

  • @AppalachianNick
    @AppalachianNick Před 12 dny

    If you open a patreon I'll be a subscriber to it. Some things I've seen other people offer is early notification and ability to buy new merchandise. Also offer like a sticker or small merch or whatever if you're a member at a certain level for 3 months or so. Maybe do something for top tier members for 3 or 6 months have the opportunity to get into a raffle to go fishing with you or call and ask you fishing questions or have live videos so often for certain tier members to be able to be more interactive. But once it's open I'll join.

  • @Flynfish
    @Flynfish Před 15 dny

    Great job with the video. If it benefits you to do the subscription based additional channel go for it! I'm in the process of slowing down my subscriptions in general. Everything and everyone is charging more from TV providers, to others like Disney and Peacock. I pay for Fishing Chaos and KBF as well as TourneyX and even CZcams Premium. Car companies are starting to do it to remote start your car and on and on. Again, if it benefits you and people are asking for it, go for it. My hope is that it doesn't limit the content that you currently make available on this channel even if things are a delayed release is fine. I've seen others go to the additional patreon and other channels and limit what is now available on the regular CZcams channel content they used to provide. Personally I cannot justify any more subscriptions. Just a couple thoughts. I hope it works out for you, but please don't cut the content on this channel.

    • @CreekFishingAdventures
      @CreekFishingAdventures  Před 15 dny
