First, several things folks: those game wardens don’t care about ruining your day, period.two:y’all did a great job putting those Smallies back…they are NOT good table fare..three.there should have been some rock bass in there,too…excellent video again!!!!love you folks!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Don't care about location a smallmouth in any body of water in any state where they live, they are a blast to catch and they love to fight.
Love fishing for them!
Just wanted to tell you both, too,that your videos are great because you watch and control your language on here!!!!…fantastic job again!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇
Love the newer videos especially since you started to use a videographer so Cole has more time to just fish. Props to the new guy. One of the reasons I love your channel is Cole's pure love of fishing. You can hear it in his voice very time he hooks a big fish. It reminds me so much of fishing with my kids when they were young. Just the pure joy of feeling that lunker on the end of your line. I love it. Best wishes to Jay, Cy, and baby Summer Daisy.
Love having Jacob on board to help film. He’s really talented and fun to have around on the water! There’s nothing I’d rather do in the outdoors than fish!
nice video , thanks for sharing it , keep going 😍😍😍
After growing up there, there is one thing I remember about these kind of bass, in these creeks. If you can catch them, you are a badass angler. They don't like to bite. And he's hammering them.
Wow Cole! You've got yourself a little piece of Heaven right there with that creek. Such beautiful Smallmouths you caught in this video. Thanks a ton for sharing.
We love this spot so much! Thanks!!!
Northern AR has not gotten the rain as the rest of the state. AGF Officer was nice. I've had encounters several times and they were always pleasant. Enjoy your creek fishing trips and showing our beautiful state. Like that ypu have a videographer, especially for safety. Hope the family is doing well. You represent AR well.
The intro deserves a thumbs up
Excellent video! Great job on all those fish you caught!
Awesome smallies Cole, thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family and friends...🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Thank you!!!
Awesome job! Creek fishing is one of best places to fish! Thanks for sharing cole!🎣👍💯
Nothing better than hitting a mountain creek or river in the hot summer months!
Nice smallmouths
Some beautiful Smallmouth for a creek Cole!! Beautiful place to!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!
Thank you! Love their colors in this one!
I loved the way you were releasing the big bass in today's video...like a true Sportsman.
Thank you! Love to let the big smallies go. They take a long time to get big out here!
What a fantastic fishing trip. Great job Cole. Glad you're license was up to date. God bless you guys
Thank you! We had a great time. I have mine set up on auto-renew so I should always be good!
I finally got my lifetime license, of course I had to retire before I could afford it.
Fun stuff! Those were some dandy smallmouths! Good job.
God bless all here.
Definitely a solid Smallie stream! Now the only way you can have a better day on the water. Is if you set up camp for the weekend and get up and do it again the next day!!
That’s right! Would love to, but the little ones at home say otherwise right now haha
@@COLE_and_JAY one word " in-laws "
Back in the day before all the rafts the small mouth fishing on many small rivers was spectacular to find a special creek now with access and fish like your catching takes me back to those days of wading creeks in Missouri. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories.
Great job, camera guy!!
Great job, Cole!! Quality as always!! ✌️😉
Jacob is a wizard behind the lens!
Love the cam work, and the editing👍
Thanks! Jacob is a master at his craft and a dang good fisherman too!
I love your new videos. I learn alot of tips for my editing skills. You have so much enjoyment at fishing. I miss Jay out there. But I know she has her hands full. You guys are so great. I tell everyone about your channel. Stay safe out there.
Great video. thanks Cole for sharing, nice creek, great fish. give the kido's a hug.
Thank you so much!!
Those "sucker" fish are actually the most delicious to eat. Life~
Man it was super cool getting to meet you at the dam! I had a million questions but didn’t want to bother you!! (I was the guy that caught to many shad and brought them over) looked like y’all were tearing them up thanks for the picture too man my kids loved it😂… great video!
Hi Cole, Jay, Cyprus and Summer. Great video. Love watching you creek fishing. You always have fun and find lots of fish. God bless and love yall ❤❤
What’s up! We try to always have fun out on the water.
Nice fish
Thank you for sharing this with us 😀 ❤
My pleasure 😊
Yay, for the St Lawrence River, I grew up , up there, caught a few smallmouth too.
Quality smalmouths for such shallow creeks. Beautiful video!
Yeah and especially for this part of the country!!! Thanks for watching!
Creek fishing for smallmouth in NW Arkansas was my all time favorite type of fishing. A 2-3 lb smallmouth in current is just the best fight in the world. This is one of my favorite channels and I love that you're in moving water and probably near my home. Well done!!!
It’s so fun and addicting. Always feels like the grass is going to be greener around each creek bend haha
Love the cinematic work
Thank you! Jacob is a wizard behind the camera!
Awesome content Cole, keep 'em comin. That creek was popping.
Thank you!!!
The water clear and nice enjoy watching your channel ❤
Thank you!!!
Wow that looked like fun! When is Jay coming back out with you? 👍🎣
What's up Cole glad you are enjoying yourself peaceful doing what you love make a video that keep watching Good Vibes and blessings
What’s up! Thanks so much for wanting this one!
Another great video from Harken Production. Good job guys
Thank you so much!!!
Good eating Bass you put back..🤓
It takes a long time for these creek smallies to get big so we like to release them. Our fish supply is still good at our place!
@@COLE_and_JAY 😀👻
They never show up until you do the hard work of catching fish.
Haha this is the first one I’ve run into in about 5 years and I’m on the water nearly every day. Lol
I love your videos Cole. As always great content and very informative. Keep up the good work sir!!
Thank you!!!
Wow the Smallies are Huge Taday 🎉.
Thats a pretty spot😍.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Thank you for watching! We love the size quality in this creek!
Awesome fish ❤
Thanks! They’re so fun to catch out there!
I really like the way you are doing your videos now👍
Thanks!!! Really love having Jacob on board to help film!
Love those little creeks. Miat, James, and Spencer were a few faves off Spring Rver.
Love those creeks up there! A big fan of Martin!
I hope you unowned this isnt spring river. Cole is in a creek not a river
@davidzellers3537 which is why I listed creeks off spring River that run into it.
Have never fished small mouth. Definitely looks fun. Some nice fish caught. Thanks for kinda taking me with you.
Oh it’s a blast! Thanks for watching!!
🎣 in your playlist titles, add for gardening and saltwater fishing! ... 🎣
We definitely need to add a saltwater fishing playlist!
I live in NWA and fish creeks whenever I can. I have the most fun with small buzzbaits in the eddies, pools, and even current. I make an 1/8th oz 4-prop buzz bait with just a paddle-tail (no skirt) that is a riot. Smallmouth love to destroy topwater at times. Great videos. Enjoyed my lunch that much more today.
Love catching them on a small buzzbait and that’s how I like to rig them too. If I can get them to eat it, that’s what I’m gonna throw. Appreciate you watching!!!
Love this CZcams channel. Glad you guys are doing good
Thank you so much!!!
Love the video! Great filming and editing work Jacob!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
Hit the creek north of the home lake off the highway before right before the healthy heart….I’ll be under the bridge by the ramp Sunday cats And bream did good last Sunday morning ish
Finished the video. Dang, Cole those were some great smallmouth!💪
Thank you! Best ones we have gotten into so far this summer!
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!!!
Live in Arkansas, as well, and mine is definitely set to auto-renew or I'd forget :) I also have the plastic credit-card style license so I can just throw it in my pocket and not worry about having to carry my phone or a piece of paper.
That’s some nice fish. River smallmouth are the best
Thank you!!! They really are!
Tetap semangat mancingnya semoga selalu di beri kesehatan
I think that yellow one with the half tail was a rare leucistic smallmouth. Like 1 in 10,000. Or something close to that.
A giant small one ? Now catch a giant
BIG one ! Hey Cole, long time no smell, I been Jonesin fer a catch an cook ...
Will do my best! Haha
Cole and Family (now bigger!), I love all the videos and the of course either your catch-and-release or catch-and-cook videos. The product is awesome on these and I love the fact you take the time to not only educate yourself but us as well. Keep them coming. Have you done a trip to Alaska to fish yet? I am sure if you did I missed it.
We haven’t been to Alaska yet. Really haven’t even come close to it haha
It would be awsome if we could do a collab when yall come up to spring river!!! Nice fish by the way keep up the good work
Those are healthy fish.
What a awesome bass fishing adventure. Also enjoyed you showing off our beautiful scenes in our natural state
A lot of fish
Creeks are very nice. I don't know why you trying to catch bass, but...... it's your show. Bream, crappie, Buffalo are edible though, 🙂
We love catching the smallies!
Cool video
Thanks!!!!
Years ago while on the Nothern Delaware in Pennsylvania,, I caught one smallmouth as I was about to leave and took it home, it tasted like Trout. I say this because I don' see you using a stringer and yours are so much bigger than the one I caught...hahahaha
I know they are good eating, but I don’t really like to drag fish around with me in the summertime when I’m doing these long creek walking missions. It also takes a long time for them to get big in these mountain creeks here in Arkansas so we prefer to release the big guys so they can continue to grow. I’ll catch and cook one some time when the timing is more appropriate. Maybe on an overnight float and camp trip!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for sharing what kind of equipment you used to catch river fish 🎣! Great filming too.
Thanks! We had a great time with this one!
Love watching you guys creek fish, love creek fishing myself. You have got to give out some names of where you're at.
No way, Man!!!😂
We appreciate you watching! Thanks so much!!!
I miss the fishing in arkansas
Where the game warden checked y’all is a great place to fish.
It definitely can be!
They've been there a lot lately. I'm sure it has to do with drugs
In Tennessee smallmouth have to be 18inches to keep. The world record smallmouth bass was caught out of .delhollow lake it's by the Tennessee and Kentucky border.
Yeah! That one from dale hollow was a monster. We rarely get them 18” here!
Do you use braid with fluorocarbon leader on you're spinning reels? Awesome creek fish video.
Cole,all creeks in arkansas are your favorites.
😂
You got me! 😂
I always catch more than twice as many if I wade upstream instead of downstream
The game warden and you was having fun 😊
They don’t ever cause me no trouble haha
Smallies👍
I live in Kingston Ontario seen bigger but those are nice
If you were to start talking about where these spots are, they wouldnt be as much fun any more! They'd be overrun with avid fishermen.
But dms are safe! Lol
For now, we have a friend with a lot off Dam rd where we fish on their pier, but .....
Cole have you found where that creek goes under ground for good lil piece. It is so coolmhow that happens. Goes under for a couple miles and then it resurfaces later Down the creek
Yeah it’s really weird!
I enjoy the videos best with Jay in them. Since it is the Cole & Jay channel, why not let Jay fish and you watch the kids sometimes. Watching for you to catch and cook some fiah.
Smallmouth are not nearly as line sensitive as other fish. I used 10 and twelve pd. Test line for 40 years in the James and New rivers. Forty to fifty fish was a normal float days catch. Many of them over four pds. The fishing is not quite that good nowadays. Especially in the James. Really treasure those kind of fisheries because they can disappear OVERNIGHT it seems. That's what happened in the Upper James River
Probably not up there! Haha y’all have the motherload. When the water gets slow and really clear here they do seem to get finicky and dropping down from 8lb to 6lb test fluoro leader has made a big difference for us those days!
@COLE_and_JAY THE James isn't that clear, for sure. The New River is fairly clear, but they are rivers, not creeks. That makes a lot of difference. But I've really never used less than 10pd. Test. Usually Trilene XT Because of the fast current and boulders.
O and by the way God bless you and your family
Make sure get fishing license updated please don't need you be in trouble at all
No he thought he was gonna catch Cole shady fishing. He wanted free dinner. Way to have ur license.
What was your set-up rod/reel and line?
What rod, reel and line was you using?
It's all fun-n-games until "John Law" shows up. My Dad, brother and I got checked as soon as we got out of the vehicle one morning back in the '80's. We were all legal. The first time I got pulled over was by a game warden in the late '80's. I had taken my Sweetheart out to dinner (she's now my wife for almost 31 years) and we got pulled over because the color of my Toyota Tercel matched the color of a Toyota pickup that deer poachers were using.
That’s right! I’m really never too worried, I always do my best to make sure I am all squared up with them!
@@COLE_and_JAY It's like the old Army saying...
"Never give anybody a reason to f*** with you".
Cole you need to get Baby C and Sis some lifetime fishin permits! I was surprised not to see you whip one out!
I have mine on auto renew so it’s essentially the same thing haha.
@@COLE_and_JAY 😂😂😂 Yes you are correct just a tad bit more on the expense side of things. That interest adds up and your kids would appreciate your frugalness, and the license! Just remember to be kind to your children, they get to pick your retirement home🤣🤣
Cole & Jay maybe its controversial but it would be cool if you could show a map location of where your fishing. Not sure what the legalities are for something like that and obviously I know some spots are secret but for public waterways it would be cool to see where you are...but no big deal watching the video is fun enough.
The last time I gave up a location, I received death threats so it’s really not in our best interest haha. Wish it wasn’t that way. And also, even though we don’t say where we are at, the areas we frequent the most get hit hard by angling pressure because of our videos.
@@COLE_and_JAY Completely understandable. And yes its unfortunate...And I'm sure all too many people leave trash behind as well 😕 But thanks very much for taking the time to respond with an explanation. Give my regards to the fam 🥰
@@COLE_and_JAY😊
Where in arkansas is this me and my buddy want to check it out
Does smallmouth fight hard even the small ones.
Mom lives in Conway and dad lives in mayflower. Any recommendations for fishing locations to hit in that area this weekend when I come to visit them? I’m Bringing my 1536.
Conway is fishing kind of tough right now with as hot as it has been. You could try fishing the pool below the dam from the bank and probably catch something, but I’d recommend wade fishing a creek somewhere. I haven’t checked it recently but the North Cadron on Hwy 65 might be the closest option
Or maybe try fishing beaver fork
Why doesn't any of the pros talk about 6th sense lures? they are awesome lures that work, I'm thinking about starting to video my shenanigans, what go pro would you recommend, I'm looking at the 11
They’re great! They don’t have a lot that applies to these creeks but we use and talk about them all the time haha
If you don’t mind me asking what’s the red wire that goes from your chest mount camera around to you bag for? Also I’m loving the small mouth content.
Battery cord haha
@@COLE_and_JAY my camera doesn’t have that option. It may be time for a upgrade. Does yours have a way tool use a mic with it?
whats your rod you used in the intro looks nice also nice video
It’s a 6th Sense Unicorn 7’2”ML! It’s a great rod!
Alright, I must know where this creek is at. Could you give me a cryptic hint? 😂
It’s a creek haha 😆
After some research and eliminating the ones that I know are not it, does the name have to do with a tree?
I'm here let's do it
Let’s go man!!!
Not gonna lie I’d like to run into more game wardens. I’ve seen some not good fishing practices.
This is the first time I’ve been checked in years
CATCHING SMALLIES IS SUCH A THRILL. RELEASING THEM IS ALLWAYS SO MUCH FUN ALSO. SOME LET YOU KNOW FROM YOURE BUD & PROUD ARMY COMBAT VETERAN 1ST BTL 16TH RANGERS 1ST INF DIVISION. HERE NOW IN NW OHIO
Cole,i figured youd have lifetime license.
Not a terrible idea but ours auto renew every year.
You know you can walk to the end of the road past the 3D targets and go through the woods in the northwest corner behind the trap field and walk it down? Just let them know what you’re up to.
I'm looking for a 3D range. Whats it called?
