The BIGGEST Fish I've EVER Caught!!! (New PB x2!)

[@Z-Bart]

My buddy and I were fishing big water for Lake Trout and he always said if he got a 30# it was going on his wall. I landed a 31 pounder for him and said, "There you go Paul, there's your wall hanger". He looks at me as he's releasing it and say's, "Nope. I want a 40". RIP Paul. I hope you are catching all the monsters! Very Nice Cat Nick! Congratulations on shattering your personal best.

[@Travis_Rivers]

Great work Nick 👏 awesome fish bud go get em !!!! Tightlines buddy

Sorry for the loss of your friend

[@karlvanloo6697]

Nice fish Nick! Hey try using Marshmallows next time! It may surprise you!

@@bjm1682 Thanks. He was only 68. I thought we had lots of fishing time left.

[@geoffmckenzie2608]

Nick... I came back to watch again just because your joy is so palpable. This time I caught your reference to Jeremy of "River Monsters." (Yep. I'm that slow. 😂) So... Sometime, please, tell us how long it took to reel in such a fish, or give us the raw footage? I love the fact that you let us see you trip and fall. Your transparent "nerd-dom" is part of the charm of your channel. We can't all be as perfect as Deer Meat for Dinner, but we can all strive to be as happy as you are when you're on the hunt for your next PB.

[@josemonge6622]

50 pounder!!!! Truly for most fishermen a catch of a lifetime.

[@TB-zw7dt]

Especially from the bank.

[@michaelmelson6678]

2 years ago I got a 47 pound fathead catfish. Every one said why not lie and call it a 50.. I said nope ill get my 50 last year got a 55 pounder.. all off the bank.

Nick I am over here in North Carolina, at 2:54am, hollering for you and your PBs. Heck yes brother!! Yank 'em up! Also, Ultralight has become my favorite way to fish in recent years. I have landed a couple dozen Blue/Channel Catfish on it. With 4lb test line no less. Keep on hustlin the fish. I am so unbelievably happy for you, Nick. Would have given you the biggest of high fives.

[@mrjones2367]

Pure happiness right there, if you don’t fish you will never understand that feeling, im so happy for you Nick congrats!

[@davemanton5774]

Nick, your patience has paid off big time. You fall over things , make us laugh at your mishaps, but you always seem super enthusiastic. Keep in fishing M8.

[@henrykosky3919]

I think maybe that spillway..is the New Favorite Spot!? Right?!

[@jdove39]

It has to be. Anywhere a 52 pounder is landed has to be a favorite, if not THE favorite spot. ✌🏾

[@CikalaTokalaSka]

Great catch, Nick!!! And yet another great vid!

[@dannywright477]

I was thinking that same thing lol

[@ironmikebassmaster3252]

I would be surprised if he doesn't do three or four videos from that exact same spot... Go for it Nick I could never get tired of seeing that buddy!

[@billycarthels2814]

Have been watching for about 3 years now. Enjoy Thursday with the new vid. This pb is well deserved. Well done Nick!

Catfish are monsters. Few years back a buddy of mine brought in a 63lb flat head! They are extraordinarily strong. Congrats on an insane day of fishing!

[@chrisprice7216]

Been watching for years…… Very happy for you. Watching you ditch your rig when the big rod went off; priceless. Congratulations.

Congrats Nick. Been following you for over 2 years now and always cheering for you to hook into a monster. Glad you finally did and twice in the same day 👍. When you said "Mystery Bait" we all knew it was Silver Carp. You have caught enough silver carp for a lifetime of cut bait. Congrats again and Rock on Nick 🤘😎

[@robertsherman871]

Congratulations Nick! Nobody and I mean NOBODY deserves it more than you! Best fishing channel on you tube! And not just the best “fishing” channel. You are the only fishing channel I watch but you are at the top of my list of favorites!

Holy cats Nick!!! I feel privileged to witness your triumph! What a great day of fishing you had. Congrats on your new PB. Well done! See ya later buddy.

[@knuckleheadfishing3166]

Congratulations! Once that river grabs you it is impossible to let go of it. If you are bored you should go down by the bridge that is under construction and catch some sturgeon.

Super happy for you Nick. Been watching the channel for about 3 years now. Really enjoy the content.

[@BradVictorsInOrange]

I've been watching you for a few years. You inspired me to learn new techniques to catch more fish. From baits, knots, drag, line, poles and reels. ***Congratulations on your new dream catch and Personal Best!*** I understand the pain of setting and netting alone.

[@donaldkarcheriii7249]

There's nothing better than when a fisherman is truly excited about his catch. As many videos and fishing trips that you've been on it's hard to believe you haven't caught one of these before. I'm so happy for you. I love your videos because it's really an adventure that you give us. Your PB goes up by 16 lbs and again by 13 lbs more in the same trip. Congrats!

[@johnniecalhoun5381]

the best thing is there is room to go bigger !!! One day I want to see you land an over 100 lb. Kitty , a 150 lb. Gator Gar and a 400 lb. Sturgeon !!! My largest fresh water catch is a 43 .6 lb. Striper out of the Etowah River between Cartersville , Ga. and Rome , Ga while fishing for Kitties and chicken livers for bait .I never expected that !! I have also caught a 5 ft 9 in. Alligator in the St. Johns River using live bream and heavy Kitty equipment ! It was around 2 am in the morning while we were vacationing on a houseboat for a week . Everyone but me had gone to bed , so I ended up hog tying it for proof . Without it , no one would have believed me !! I'll be watching when your next P.B. is caught !!

[@baseballloreandcollectible7171]

I used to fish in my own small way. Lifes circumstances have messed that up. I have been watching your videos and must say I truly Love them. All types of fish, methods and such. Plus, you are so engaging and the videos, with the music and drone shots are great. Congratulations and if I can't have fun anymore, Its great to live through your fishing. Thank you so much

[@thevenin2]

Those were 2 massive Blue Cats caught on the 'ol Ugly Stick/ Abu Garcia combo. You should have kept one, filleted it up for a BBQ with friends. Little salt, pepper, paprika, deep fry, and some lemon squeeze. My barber was showing me monster Northern Pike him and his buddy were catching a couple springs ago. Can't reveal the location, but it is remote and the fish were over 50 inches.

[@NobleKorhedron]

Seriously? 50 inches? Jesus what did that weigh; 30+ lbs?

Nah, let the big boys go so they can make more big boys.

Congratulations Nick, I've been following you for a few years now and that Catfish was worth the wait.

Yep blues are one of a handful of species that never die of old age. They just keep on growing . Awesome catch. Now ya gotta go for a flatty that size.😄😄😄👍👍👍

That's awesome! Them big blues are a blast! Caught one in Arkansas that was over 75 and it's still the biggest fish I caught!

[@georgegarton8736]

Great video, love your bloopers at the end. Been there done that, very entertaining. Had a friend invite me to Little Rock area back in 2020 to fish the Mississippi for big cats. He passed a few months after my first trip out there for business. Still on my list to make that trip one day.

[@blackjackmusic1107]

Great catch!!! I used to jug fish my local lakes. Biggest I've ever caught was a 60 lb flathead. Used just a canoe and a paddle to chase down an angry monster attached to a jug. Jug fishing and limb lines seem to be the best method I know to catch big fish. Never got a monster using a rod and reel... Gratz man!!!

Hi Nick - great day, great fishing - well done. Always love to watch your genuine enthusiasm for this passion. Enjoyed the violin music creating the tension! And yes, WHEN something bites that hard I will also trip over my gear to get there, perfectly normal! Keep it up, we appreciate it all the way from Cape Town :)
