    Beautiful river.
    Glad to come along for the ride.
    Not a lot of fish, but definitely decent quality.
    I fished an area very similar to that a few days ago.
    I was floating baits down through the current.
    Bite was a bit slow.
    (Most rivers in California were near flood stage until recently, and they were tough to access).
    Finally got some nice weather, rivers started to drop back to normal.
    I stayed out just a couple of hours floating baits on a medium light with 10 lb braid and 8 lb leader.
    Last cast I nailed a 27" 9.7 lb carp.
    Man, what a fight.
    Between The current and the grass beds, it took about 10 minutes to get him in, but what a way to end my short trip.
    I remember a few of your videos where you nailed surprising catches right near the end of your video.
    Especially that bass right at the end of your kayak tournament.
    One of my all-time favorites.
    I've archived it, and have watched it several times.
    You just never cease to show how much fun fishing is in places most would not even consider.
    Kudos to you my friend.

    Yes! Beautiful mountain creeks. You may have covered them in another video already (sorry, your amount of content is awesome but large haha) but what do you think of the little 1" Creme crankbaits? I see them marketed under "Pond Favorites" a lot and I've been using a couple of them in the creek by my workplace, but I wondered what the pro creek fisherman thought of them. So far they seem to get a lot of reaction and bites from various panfish and small bass.

    Just a question -- I know you seem to prefer throwing very plastics on jig heads, but do you ever throw small crankbaits for creek bass. Small, short-lipped crankbaits (run 2-3 ft deep) in crawdad or silver minnow colors (depending on water color) was always my go-to lure fishing for smallmouth in Pennsylvania creeks. Even when fish are not feeding you can get reaction strikes.

    You sir live in God's country! Out here in Utah, we get nothing like the streams and rivers you have access to. And 90% of the fishing here is for trout. I really would like to get to some prime small mouth and sunfish someday. But I am curious, what brand/model of glasses are you using to spot so many? Keep on the lookout for the danger noodles and most importantly, be safe.

    Yeah, all those Alabama's are a bad, bad sign. Pretty much all of the South East's fisheries are trying to find a way to stop them, after Lake Norman reported a 92%+ drop in largies. Admittedly, that body of water has had problems for a long time, but numbers like that send a shockwave through the system. Here in VA, it's gone from "be alert" to basically clip or kill- clip a fin for testing, or kill it if you're sure it's an Alabama and not a Kentucky Spot. While it's possible that it's all another over-reaction, that nature will solve on its own, I'll gladly take all-you-can harvest bass fillets.

    I think I mentioned on a video some time ago, spots will displace smallmouths quite often. Even though they don't look that much alike, spotted bass are morphologically similar, and will interbreed and out-compete smallmouths - I would imagine the Alabama strain, even more so. BTW - are the hats no longer available? I'd really like one, but I heard you would be discontinuing them for a while, so if so, I snoozed and lost.
