Went lake sturgeon fishing. The guide used lots of night crawlers on a big circle hook. Like 5 crawlers on each hook. Worked great. Try it.

[@fishingwithmikeyanddad310]

Just one will work. As long you in the right spot. Caught 62 pounder with one worm

[@JefferyHagen]

I remember an article in Catfish Insider ( over 20 years ago 🙄) where said he used a big circle hook with as many night crawlers as he could fit on the hook for giant catfish. His philosophy was that the bluegills would nip at the night crawlers which would then attract the catfish.

[@noahreineke9569]

@@JefferyHagenHmm. You’d think if the large fish were attracted to the bluegill, they would then eat the bluegill and not the worm. I’ve never caught anything over 8lbs on night crawlers. However, with live bluegill and cut bluegill, I took my personal best catfish from 8, to 23lbs. I caught nearly a dozen 10-20 pounders that year too.

[@Eke817]

We use one night crawler and one-half slice of bacon on a circle hook. Rarely fails and the bacon is like candy to a fat kid.

[@noahreineke9569]

@@Eke817 No, I catch all sorts of fish, and I can catch them reliably. Not to say that a night crawler isn’t a good bait. But it’s not as good of a bait for LARGE fish like large flathead or large blues. Blues are good on cut bait, and flathead live bait. Generally speaking from my experience, and the experience of most people I’ve seen.

[@steveklick]

Dude, that was one of the sickest fishing spots ever. Places like that are something out of my dreams. An old unused dam that's just been left to nature with all kinds of rockpiles and jams and structure and such. You have to go back there.

[@j0909vfjklc]

I'm sure that blue gill is glad it was colorful and cool looking. Live to see another day

[@DelightfulGlassblower-sn1xk]

Long ear sunfish

[@steveklick]

I felt the same way. I was like dude let him go, and the fish was like dude seriously you could make a wish right now! Very magical area. I would love to fish all day there.

I love the honesty and videography on this channel. The fact it’s not edited to catch after catch is authentic!

❤ 100 percent agree!

[@mikepollock8295]

Another great day of fishing with multiple species of fish not a a waste of a trip at all! Thanks for taking us along Nick! Have a fun and safe weekend and take care Nick! See you next adventure!

[@dougidouglas3210]

I'm loving this new series, "the hunt for the river monsters".

[@madmattfishing]

I wait for this moment all week!!💪💪

[@JBonks]

Your last sturgeon video inspired me to get out for em on my local river. Landed a 6 foot white sturgeon from shore. Don't stop the search, it'll be so worth it when you get one. Cheers brother 🍻

[@malcolmlynn5125]

8:38 when the music starts… you just wait and expect greatness 👀

[@TTV-JadedMedic]

I like how after every fish you say, “see ya later buddy.” Shows such a great appreciation and respect for the fish. You are truly what being a fisherman and conversationalist is about! Keep up the great content brother!

[@ludwig5702]

Big fish is music to the ears and makes the 2 plus hour drives worth it

Great adventure Nick! Cool to see your fishing spots in the midwest. Love the filming, especially the drone footage. Keep them coming.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Determines whether live bait gets used based on coolness - my type of fisherman

Hell Yeah!!! Get Fired Up!!!! It's fishing time!!!

[@DamianPereyraHs]

Dreamy fishing spot.

[@johnpaul-zq2wi]

As always amazing work with the camera....use primarily worm even for large sturgeon....every big one I've ever caught was on worm....set sinker close to your hook cause sturgeon feed on the very bottom even more bottom than cats lol

[@darrenangle4493]

Go Nick go. Make 2024 the year you catch all your new PB's and Bucket list fish. Love your channel bro.

[@SH-os1ck]

They looked like cat fish bud!

[@pastorjerrykliner3162]

It's refreshing to see someone else keeping it real... Slipping on the rocks, snagging on underwater obstacles, and just plain not getting the hits you want to. There's a reason it's called "Fishing" after all.

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Always enjoy every episode!

[@Mbunchwalleye]

I know it’s a little out of your normal context, but if you’d wanna come fish Lake Erie for walleye, I’d be happy to take you out!

Hey Nick, have you ever taken a subscriber with you on a fishing adventure? If not, I would love to join you!

Head for Rufus Oregon on the Columbia River you'll catch what you're looking for and then some

Man, what a great looking area. Too bad it was so far away. Scary looking current for the kayak. On top of that rain all day. As always, so fun to tag along.

So the cool brim is called a pumpkin seed. Might need to try a surf fishing trick... boat your bait way out from shore

[@kpfrazier6809]

SICK Episode Nick! ... .. 🤙👍

[@FarmerFpv]

Reminds me of fishing in the Trinity River except the water there is much cleaner and clearer. Good call on taking off. Lightning fishing rods and water don't mix well. I remember I hooked onto a huge Gar on the Trinity and it started to storm. I knew it was going to take me a long time to get the fish in. I was so scared the whole time. I had no choice but to bring the fish in to release it. Then it was 1 hour in an aluminum boat back to the dock. Never again. Lightening was striking all around us I could feel it. Scary. At least you caught some huge cats and spotted bass. It's never a bad day fishing. That spot is sick! Subscribed.

[@randya3423]

I’m old school with boats when it comes to fishing. I’m impressed with the amount of gear you can get on that kayak and the spots you can access especially dealing with spillways. A traditional flat bottom boat or skiff would be dicey in those currents. Loved this video!

[@stldog92]

Gobs of a mix of native night crawlers & earth worms is what you need to use.

[@BrianGundy]

Next time try grass shrimp!

[@geordiejones2]

Despite the rain what a great day.

That sunfish you threw back was a pumpkinseed dynamite bait for flatheads

[@rchrdjms62]

Thanks very much for the video. I see you've been utilizing some of my skills such as slipping on the rocks, and the fish breaking the line.

[@StB55-oi9yp]

Wait, I’m the one that is the master of those skills.

Pretty little pumpkinseed. They're VERY common in Upstate New York.

[@CanadianEhBud]

One day you need to make a trip to Selkirk Manitoba for Channel Catfish.

[@lvlndco]

The wiki page shows the lake sturgeon as wanting different bait. That might help getting one to bite. Those catfish you caught were nice.

[@M-LOutdoors]

I think that one beautiful fish was called a Dollar Sunfish. What an incredible looking species

[@Pompano-gy5nj]

Coolest spot I have seen you fish....maybe just plain coolest river spot ever. Can imagine how many different species you can catch there, and how pretty it is on a sunny day! Nice work as usual.

[@davidbullett499]

Awesome as always be waiting on the next one ! Caught 3 over 4 lb large mouth bass in last couple of weeks and a bunch of small stuff finally getting warm here in upstate n y

[@ahunterinChrist]

I’ve gone white sturgeon fishing and we used smelt but you could try shad or something along those lines but make sure it’s fresh. We wrap them in the liter and synch it down and stomp on it once to get it stinky. Then we waited

[@weedhopper]

You want to catch monster sturgeon?? Come to Oregon and fish the Columbia river below Bonneville dam.we have some of the biggest around,my personal best from a boat is 12 ft.and from the bank was 8.6ft!! True river monsters🤘💪

[@VENNOM711]

Go fishing at that spot again, please. And at that powerplant spot from a few weeks back

[@dalethornton4217]

I just wanted to let you know that I like the songs that you put on your videos. I don't know what it is, but they are on point.

[@caniaccharlie]

What a great adventure! That looks like a spot I'd target more for sure. looks like a place big fish would be with the current right up against some slack water, and some deep water.

[@SamLyons-b3l]

Great catch! Also, could you make another video about Muskie fishing (maybe from your kayak)? I love your content keep it up

[@michaelws6247]

Awesome spot Nick! After this water goes back down it’ll be a good place to try again, kinda like the river resetting itself 🙌

[@ceesvanderschoot9799]

Great fish again !!! Perfect shots 👍

[@BikerDash]

I hooked an Atlantic Sturgeon once. The fish pulled like a freakin freight train!

[@GDSMedia27]

I’ve been fishing for lake sturgeon. Used a lot of big nightcrawlers on a circle hook. We never had to wait long for bites. Also here’s a tip that could be useful, while a catfish will but a real bend in the rod, the sturgeon bites were always very subtle and gentle. Even a 35lbs fish would gently tap the line so I had to hold my finger on the line so I wouldn’t miss a bite

[@dadentist6757]

Love the catfishing videos, keep em coming

[@robertrio632]

Nice catches.

[@oculusangelicus8978]

The Laks sturgeon is a fast water fish or more appropriately will reside in the deepest part of the river where the current is fastest, and most people targeting them do it from boats that can stay in one place while the river speeds past them, but it's always possible to catch one from the shore, but you're going to have to try and place the bait in a place where the Sturgeon are and unfortunately, the Catfish are in direct competition with the Sturgeon, so you're going to be catching a lot of by-catch before you get what you're after.
