An ILLEGAL Fish Catch... SURPRISE Species!!!

[@fishingwithohdad]

Great video as always Nick. You go to some great fishing holes.

[@mikepainter2135]

I never get tired of hearing Nick say “nice fish, nice fish, nice fish, please stay on”.

[@ImActuallyJustJared]

man it’s been a while, been a really rough couple of months but it feels good to relax and get my mind off things for 10 mins. Thank you. 🙏

Facts

[@brianeisenga882]

That blue gill said " no I have heard of Nick, don't use me as bait". Lol awesome day.

[@mischafellner8943]

I loved fishing chico creek for blue gill/bass/ tout/ catfish and Salmon back in the day. Fished probably 70 days a year with my twin when we were younger than teen agers. I do miss that. My twin is awesome. I love him. Love you Dre

[@spartikus1370]

Thanks for the video Nick it's always fun seeing you videos pop up

[@CanadianEhBud]

I was just thinking to myself at 3:05, I wonder if you ever catch a big fish with the net? Lol!

[@bdub588]

idk why but your videos give off a vibe of waking up early and going to my friends house knocking on the door and waking my buddy’s up in they beds to go walking the creek at 5am, ride our bikes a hour away and get on the fishing journey. love the vids man!!!!

[@interactivefish]

What was illegal?

[@augustgothman1537]

? Bass with a cast net?

[@jeffwomack5821]

I just searched the comments to see if anybody said anything about the illegal fish. Nothing, but I am glad to see that I am not the only one to wonder about it.

[@theresar6413]

It was the bass with a cast net.

[@joshuaw2078]

^ that’s correct. You’re not allowed to keep a bass collected via cast net.

[@lylejames8079]

Exactly!

[@robertflint4115]

For all: Bass with the cast net is the “illegal” catch. With bass soon spawning and sitting on beds. Using a cast net would be so unsportsmanlike. 🤘😎

[@Suit_and_tie_reptile_guy]

This is the best fishing channel

[@John-qz7wq]

Yes indeed

[@sixsix8six]

7:16 I recognize that spillway. I may or may not have boarded down it 20 years ago.

[@fishinkeylargo]

In S Florida I catch a lot of Bowfin on lures. From speed worms to spinner baits. Never caught one on a top water lure, yet.

[@davidleekalbjr.3035]

You do the best "B roll", video. 👌

[@billmatson8711]

Nice catch Nick . I'm the opposite of you I've never caught a bowfin on bait . All on artificial . PB is 28" . Gotta land them quick or the gators will try to steal your catch .

[@danielrittenhouse1321]

Dang! Yet another sleepless wednesday night. Unlike the first day of deer season I haven't gotten cold nor did I have to get up before the break of dawn. Lol. It's so great to have something to look forward to. Thanks yet again Nick for the awesome fishing adventure.

[@AndWhatISeeIsME]

Man, I'm increasingly grateful for these videos. Just pleasant, positive fishing. Also, I LOVE bluegill, pumpkinseeds, red ears, greens (green meanies) and all the other sunfish. They're aggressive and pound-for-pound great fighters. A sunfishy inlet with a 5' ultralight and 2-4 lb test is 👌👌👌

[@paulyp36]

You should try fly fishing for blue gill with top water poppers, it's a lot of fun and good practice.

[@bretsubotnik1777]

I love fishin for anything, you make it better

[@RVRDWLR]

Great vids, keep them coming.

[@lukemeldrum8678]

Hello from Australia mate love the video keep up the good work

[@Flyers_34]

I just love watching his vids

[@mikepollock8295]

Great day and good catches! Have a fun and safe weekend Nick! See you Next adventure! Thanks for taking us along!

[@ludwig5702]

I love this channel and allways look forward to the weekly video

[@Crane_Fishing]

The second spillway is one of my favorite places and is right in my back yard. I target bowfin, bass and perch out of there using my ultralight set up. I was just out there few days ago and caught some beautiful bass and an impressive bowfin

[@perrybassham8370]

I always enjoy your videos! Thank you!

[@andrewharmon9873]

Carolina rig ending with a snap swivel and a treble hook. Unsnap the treble hook, feed the liver through the shaft of the treble hook( this allows all 3 hooks to hold that liver on) . You may also utilize this technique to use a giant glob of liver or other easily picked off baits, wet cat food in pantyhose, fish mash,(smooshing fish) etc misc of the accord. Opportunistic fish are reactive To sensory as others like bass and pickerel, pike are more tuned to active live movement and bait. A Carolina rig with that shafted bait is the game changer

[@benjaminliebherr4154]

I can’t believe you got that bowfin in on that ultralight! That’s awesome!

[@Meditation409]

As we waited patiently since last Thursday! 🤙😂😂😍🔥

[@spaz231]

That is funny the spillway that had beautiful water Running down it you got one little fish and that was it.... Then the one that had no water running down it, You got some nice looking fish.

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff Nick thanks.

[@c.j.cooper8659]

I love the music choices you have

[@SeeMooreVids]

Great videos. Whatbrand/ model drone do you recommend? Thx

[@Willow76ny]

I enjoy watching your videos as they remind me of the joy I experienced when I was younger and went through a fishing phase of my own. Congrats on your surprise catch. Keep up the wonderful content!

[@ThomasQuigley-b1b]

Colors get brighter during mating season I think. Good fun B-).

[@Keepler22b]

Nice fishing spot and very cool fish. Looks very similar to a Burbot. I fish burbot. In Norway, where I live, they get very dark (almost black) with beautiful yellow/green patterns. And they get biiig:)

[@henryschmidt636]

The slow mo sun shower shots were amazing high quality videography.

[@DRIPErapslit]

I like fishing in flatlick branch centreville va there is massive rainbow trout like the size of my arm my house is 5 minutes from it

[@samuthmonychann9319]

Tell you what your an honest and true fisherman thank you

[@gregsoto2679]

Great bowfin. Thanks for sharing.

[@setthehookwithtlbroyles919]

Nic what's up man... 2 largemouth bass (the one That you caught in the net was really nice) a nice buffing on a crankbait( That's what I'm talking about) I haven't caught one on a lure yet. Anna big bluegill. Great episode I loved it keep on getting down!

[@WingmanJohnny]

The colors of the fish was awesome.

[@lawdog25]

You make my linch breaks GREAT on Thursdays! 👍

[@darrencorrigan8505]

Thanks, 618.

[@yodano29]

use chicken liver wrapped in cheese cloth in a 1 inch ball and stitch the opening of the cloth closed "it will never fall off" . after the liver is beat up after 10 bites or catches toss on another one or just keep catching them on the stinky cheese cloth. it works. susquahanna river in luzerne county . been fishing it for 40 years. love your videos and i wish we had bowfin here

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

I'm in Texas, and the bowfin we catch is typically caught on bass lures while we're bass fishing.

[@rickbrown7287]

Where are you catching bowfin? I live about 65 miles north of Dallas and haven't ever seen or heard of bowfin up here. 🤔

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

@@rickbrown7287 we have some really big ones here. We call them Grinnell or Choupique here and in Louisiana.

Nick covering all bases!! ❤😎🤙

[@Mylris]

what species were you trying to target?

[@BoxVanMan]

You seem like such a nice guy. Thanks for the great content.

[@cuz129]

My wife and I caught 17 largemouth bass yesterday for a total weight of right at 40 lbs. It was a nice string all caught on weightless plastic worms (Senko's). Filled up the freezer!

[@KyleForden-fj8qv]

Much love all the way from the east coast of England ❤✈️

[@เลื่อยเปื่อย]

Nice Fish👍

[@MichaelThomas-dr6xy]

Darn Bass! That is not the species that I am targeting today, LOL!

[@daveguerch1375]

What time of day do you prefer to fish?

[@brianferguson9483]

Great video kinda wish it was a little longer

[@erinschlameus3628]

I'm curious what part of the country are fishing.

[@HOBINYADUANG]

woww.... big fish😍😍😍

[@williamlutsch4259]

You havent snagged a dozen silver carp lately, what seems to be the issue?

[@michaelcox609]

We catch a bunch of bowling on Square bill crankbait.

[@SuperDogwizard]

What was the target species?

[@allenjames1740]

Nick: would you ever consider doing a video on a boat out on the lake trolling? Would love to see you get into some stripers and hear your experience with another new type of fishing. Love your channel and rooting for you!

[@joelwcarter8058]

what is the weightof your biggest bowfin

[@dikkeottoundhaesslichenfriends]

Tbh mate I was hoping youd go back to the big catfish spot over and over again 😂 loved These Videos

[@KenWoodFishing]

Spawning colors on that bowfin.

[@victoralbert1451]

I once caught a 5lb largemouth in a cast net while netting for bait

[@quentonivery3766]

Rock on bro rock on ..

[@fullsquish]

Your b-roll work is 🤌🏻

[@jeffbrown8968]

My Grandma used to put sugar in her chicken livers. It made them firm up a little and stay on the hook better.

[@bartmormino907]

Love to see your trips.

[@rickyflair4516]

Do other people fish these spill ways?

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

That bluegill hit like a tank. I wasn't expecting a pan fish

[@FishingMadeEasyWithDB-zq6rk]

How do you keep the chicken liver on? Any ideas besides the pantyhose method?

[@hardsell1844]

Lol ... I was actually kind of hoping u would target the bass as u dont bass fish much ....... Then i remrmbered that its also why i watch ur channel ! Lolol .... U r the only guy catching Bowfish on KZbin eh !??? Very cool sport fish if u ask me !

[@xzisens]

No way I’m this early! Love your vids man!

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Nice catches 👏

Hey dude I got question! Are you doing overnight fishing sometimes?

[@ianmunro809]

Always awesome brother! What the hell was that species, looked like a snake head almost.

Awesome video

[@barryoverson4988]

yup

[@rchrdjms62]

That's one thing that would make your videos tremendously better. That would be if I was also in them fishing with you.

[@reelingwithrobby]

LETS GOOO

[@cuz129]

We call those bowfins, grinnell. I have caught a nine and a fourteen pounder on artificial lures. They are ferocious fighters.

[@jughead8988]

We call them dogfish. There isn't a lot of them in my neck of the woods and if you catch one over 2 or 3 pounds you've done something

[@joelwcarter8058]

IF YOU WANT ANOTHER NEW SPILLWAY TO FISH, TRY THE ONE AT STARVED ROCK STATE PARK

[@CalebRichardson-yb1qo]

Can you fish the grate lakes

[@madtownangler]

It's been a good ten years since I caught a dogfish. I have a picture of one where it has eyes that glow in the dark not quite as bright as a walleye

[@robbiesmith9786]

That bass is great live bait if u was in a bigger river

[@cuz129]

Rapalas are expensive, hate to lose one of those!!

[@KimKong-p4s]

Dude no joke a big fish pulled my dock demon in the pond and I saw the bobber come up on the other side so I ran over and snagged the line with my friend's bait caster and then a HUGE fish snapped my other rod's 10lb line it was so fun

[@kennethluciani5354]

Me too. What was illegal???

[@jughead8988]

Only thing I can figure is a bass in a cast net.
