Easily one of my favorite sounds in this world is hearing the drag on a fishing line being pulled. Thanks, Nick.

[@shelbyherring92]

Bruh, hooking into a carp gives me the jitters like an espresso shot, those mugs just go hard.

[@brandonbeauregard5545]

YES

[@brianeisenga882]

Couldn't agree more. Mine too. Hook into a big salmon or any big fish, and listen to it sing. Yeehaa.

[@oak8728]

Every hobby has those sounds that isn’t like anything else. I skate and riding a skateboard on bricks is just like that feeling of when the drag gets pulled

[@drumpftodd7887]

I fish a spillway where I live and these stripers just sit at the bottom of the dam. The fish are all consistently lunkers and will gladly take a popper or crawfish. This Japanese guy taught me how to fish the base of the dam with crawfish and he was doing so well that he had to swap some of his fish on the stringer. Hybrids and White Bass put up the ultimate fight and are very tasty. Nice fish!

[@kf4293]

Crawfish huh? 🤔 Gonna have to give that a try.

[@cbowser8604]

I have done all kinds of fishing. Off shore, inshore, freshwater etc. That is too much work at my age now but that fishing you did today and catching those hybrids looks like a blast. Really enjoy your fishing. Subbed to you.

[@ceesvanderschoot9799]

Man I love your videos. From your amazing production value to how you are clearly one of the nicest people on the planet…thank you! I am currently still stuck on urban fishing (especially since I landed a 11.5 old man cat not too long ago) but you really make me want to make a change. Long story short, thank you for being so humble & amazing. My love for panther Martin spinners, ultralight st. Croixs, and pflueger president reels runs extremely deep now. Keep being awesome & here is to that next PB I know you are working on…..

[@bstanfishing]

BEST FISHING KZbinR EVER!!!

[@stevenfobear4793]

You got that right ✅

[@standbarrett2237]

Congrats Sir!!! I must admit I laughed out loud when you emptied your boot! That nice Hybrid surly warms a guy's cold wet feet! Thanks for taking us with you!!

[@detroitdiy]

There's no better feeling than a fishing pole bent in half and the drag just ripping out. You know the battle is on, reminds me of snook fishing in the backwaters of S.W Florida. Great video Nick and what a great Hybrid bass. I have a four day fishing trip planned for next week this will be the second annual trip for me and some friends and in Honor of you Nick we all say "Fish on" see you later buddy!

[@jameshansen958]

Are you fish with Larry off Muir Beach or Todd Huth out of Balinas Lagoon?

[@detroitdiy]

Unfortunately no, just some friends and i fishing around Marco Island or the 10,000 Islands off of everglades city. There are also some nice canal networks in the everglades that are considered brackish water however snook and tarpon are abundant in those waters.

[@brandonwood3786]

why do u call them hybrids here in maine we call em stripers and they are in the salt water...but can breathe in fresh for awhile like white perch

[@EasyModeFishing]

If it’s a power plant lake you should be going there in the winter. Warm water releases don’t attract fish in the summer because fish would rather be in 80 degree water than 100 degree water BUT in the winter they’ll pile up there because the water could be 60 there when it’s 40 everywhere else.

[@millwright15]

Another awesome upload! Great editing and content as always! A shame the one got away due to a hang up on the other line! I think the new PB made up for it though!!

[@precisionfishingsouthernin8680]

this man never dissapoints when it comes to spillway fishing prob the most underlooked angler on youtube always enjoy your videos brother keep it up!!😎

[@Curry_Prodz18]

Great catch!! I’m going fishing this weekend. Have a great day and enjoy your weekend.

[@lsenglvuel]

Nick, I believe the first wiper you caught was actually a white bass. Wipers (hybrids) tend to have a more broken up striped pattern. Great catch nonetheless! Tight lines! 🎣🎣🎣

[@brentsteele6090]

I agree

[@paulnew3310]

Yepper it was a Sandie or white bass sand bass fo sho. He was a fattie though.

[@chrisblanton6470]

White bass dont get much over 3-4 lbs what he got was definitely a striped or hybrid

[@lsenglvuel]

@@chrisblanton6470 Haha. You haven’t caught big white bass before then.

[@chrisblanton6470]

I have. I currently hold my lake record of 15 and a half inches and 3.12 lbs. The world record is not much bigger at 18in and 4.32lbs. White bass are the most populous fish in my area yo.

[@FreezemanLive]

Who else loves to see a new PB from 618??

[@DOSHIELD]

Fun catches. I loved when you picked up that other lure. And laughed when it got snagged. This video was a roller coaster of ups and downs!

[@DamianPereyraHs]

Oh men, a video with a rainy day, Nick fishing AND the great band Upstate. Just perfect!!

[@davidhorning3692]

Awesome hybrid bass! Glad you had a great day, nothing beats the sound of a drag slipping.

[@bigbkeepitreelfishing]

That first one you lost my guess was another monster hybrid bass the why it was running. It may have been just as big or bigger than the one you got. I got my biggest at my local dam on a whole bluegill years ago. It was almost 31 inches but didn't weigh it. Great catch. They are awesome fighters.

[@hershisadventuresincalifor9725]

Another AWESOME video! Yesterday I decided to show my wife the OLD videos you have up. Some 5-6 years ago, mainly the "Micro Fishing" ones. Though we enjoyed those as well, still prefer your "strange baits" episodes more! Not to mention your video editing came along way. Sighs we still need to get a dang drone for our videos. So I do what I can during editing. Tight lines Nick

[@CatchMyDriftfishing]

Oh man, that is a darn shame you lost that first big fish on someone else's fishing line and getting a soaker. You should get a good pair of chest waders, or two lol breathable for most situations but if you want a warmer option for cold weather, neoprene but they are form fitting 😆 glad you were able to get a new PB after all that. Nice video!

[@140kittykat]

That crawfish lure was obviously cursed. Glad it left, sad to see what it took with it.

[@rickbrown7287]

ALWAYS a "thumbs up" adventure Nick. Here's a few more to go along with the other one... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Congrats on the new PB! AND...... As ALWAYS thanks for bringing us along from those of us that seem to never have the time to get out and get a line wet. 🥴 From Texas.... Be Safe Brother. ✌😎🇨🇱

[@jimrogers3219]

Dude congrats on breaking your pb! Thanks for making your videos Man. I don't get to go fishing like I used to, and your videos are just a nice breath of fresh air. With everything is going on these days I really appreciate you making some great content, and I am vested in your channel LOL. You're an absolute delight to watch!

[@MegaYangman]

Those hybrid stripe bass really fight like a freight train when they're hooked! That was a nice one!

[@AllThatWasHidden]

2:28 fish jumps out of water in background. Not the fish on his rod.

You always find the Spillway Monsters Nick! Keep up the awesome vids🎣

[@tlt1234]

another enjoyable trip. I grew up in the eastern end of 618. And watching your videos bring back many good fishing memories of my youth.

[@kennethluciani5354]

Try using a bait called soft craws. They come in a jar and they are crawfish 🦞 that are molting and they produce big wipers. I caught several 8 pounders with them in a spillway in Indiana (lake Monroe). Great video.

[@ltruelock2727]

Hi Kenneth I am in Lafayette. I really enjoy Nick's videos. I am going to look for those crawfish. Thanks for the tip.

[@taylamayde]

Where can I buy been looking for it

[@robertnaremore5347]

Great video! I hope you go back soon and keep on exploring that plant spillway. There is simply no telling what other giants could be hiding.

[@jeffsnowden4189]

Great video! Those hybrids are some of the best fighting fish pound for pound than any other.

[@LoganJUSIEngineering]

Man I just want to say that the little bits extra effort you put in these videos, like the camera set ups while you walk to the spots for example, make all the difference in the quality of the video as a whole. Very much appreciated, keep up the great work!

[@The_girls-Blue.Germanshepherds]

That was an awesome video was always. Here's a fun little fact you ever try using just a hook and a rubber band. Rubber band supposed to be mimics of flatworm.

[@shelbyherring92]

Having caught several wipers down here in Georgia, each about 2 or so pounds - they can be fighters when they're fresh. Especially on a 8 foot crappie rod.

[@fishingjimcolon4339]

Awesome PB Wiper Nick! Been following you for awhile now an trust me when I say I feel every success and every failure as if I were side by side with you. Keep up your great content and I look forward to your next adventure as always.

[@brentsteele6090]

I love seeing your spillway monster or any catch at that! Best way imo to tell the difference between a white bass and a wiper is, wiper have 2 tooth patches in the back of their tongue and white bass only have 1. They’re in the back of their tongue in the middle. Fish on! 🎣

[@DjDolHaus86]

Power plant spillways are always worth keeping in mind for winter because they'll be a good bit warmer than every other watercourse.
