BIGGEST FISH OF MY LIFE!!! Fishing in Washington D.C. is FULL of Surprises...

Absolutely incredible... I catch the biggest freshwater fish of my life fishing an area I always thought to be a polluted wasteland considering its urban environment. When I first fished this area several months back, I was shocked to find a few decent sized bass swimming inside the basin. Now, to come out in the dead of winter and find some MONSTROUS catfish ready to chomp on our baits, I guess it just goes to show, you NEVER know what could happen during a day of fishing!

1Rod1ReelFishing it was when hayle caught the fish

[@matthewchastain136]

damn beat me to it.

[@keepitreel3946]

"Do you fish?"...... "Heck yeah!"........But doesn't want to touch the fish once it's in.....Typical

[@TimJorgensen850]

People who aren't out specifically to fish generally don't like getting spined or slimy

[@thatguy.3612]

If I was just walking around or maybe headed somewhere specific I wouldn't want to smell like fish slime. Nothing wrong with that.

[@lisasgames1840]

Girls like that ruin it for the rest of us :L

[@patrickmichael2732]

KEEPitREEL dude it's a catfish I wouldn't touch that either those are nasty fish anything else is good lol

[@kimehunt4501]

She was kind of annoying and a bit unappreciative. Guy buys gear, hauls it out there, waits for a bite only to have some stranger have all the fun. As soon as there is dirty work to be done, "we have to go" followed by a last thought thanks. I bet if they didn't let her reel that fish in she would have told everyone what assholes they were.

[@CambrenSievert]

Those people seemed so annoying

[@2x433]

Cambren Sievert fly fishing the tidal basin is the definition of annoying people asking how things works

[@LeetheOG89b]

why do people think its ok to walk in front of poles? 😣😣 ugh walk around

[@keepitreel3946]

[@itsgiraffe3698]

Ken Dairiki mine would have to be waiting. It sucks

[@shawnsnider9755]

Straight up assholes lol

[@steveandrews1982]

[@ExopMan]

Girl who jumps in to take fish annoyed me.

[@vince-db8fp]

yeah tbh she seemed like a smart ass

[@navigatingnik2867]

Guys stop being a dick, she was just reeling in a fish. Just shut up.

[@pepijn4364]

Yeah

[@Bogojira]

Navigating Nik bruh she was being cocky and clearly didn’t know much to anything about fishing. She named one extremely common species and seemed pretty much foreign to fishing.

[@rredu_]

Navigating Nik simp alert

[@tookurkneez2865]

What dude I can’t see another?

[@subsandnovids-vp8sb]

can tell ur a city boy he’s wearing it bc that camo is made thicker to keep him warm

[@paytonsheppard9018]

when your fishing session gets corrupted by a random tour at like 8:00

[@joebrallierfishing8445]

"look at that sound" mike makes me laugh so hard

[@Thedarcyboys]

Nothing worse then when you have a fish on and some randomer comes up to you and wants to reel it in

[@wyatt8513]

Not really especially when your cat fishing it’s nice to let new people try and it helps let new people get into fishing that’s how I started as a little kid the fisherman at the dock would let me real in bluegill and I begged my parents for a rod

[@matthein2803]

[@talmagecenters5831]

Am I the only one who gets mad when someone walks up when I'm fighting a fish and they ask if they can feel it in. I mean I might let them depending on the fish's size but like.... why don't you go fish for yourself?

[@captaincaveman471]

People who don't actually go fishing don't understand how much time and effort you sometimes put in trying to land a fish. I would have told her to kick rocks.

[@mariamelshayeb6734]

Talmage Centers and at the end she said "I caught a fish" no you didn't, he did all the hard work you just stepped in and did the fun easy part

[@conormccall923]

Sometimes they don't have time to fish. It makes sense if you wait hours and want to real It in and they caught multiple fish and it was their choice. Please don't hate on his person.

[@johnmozierfishing7010]

Luckily it was a small one tho

[@MonsterMikeFishing]

Sweet video man! That really was a MONSTER fish!

[@russianmango8572]

Your videos are fake🤨

[@southernnathaniel]

@@russianmango8572 he has 2.6 million

[@colearnold5613]

It was really uplifting to see all these people in the vid genuinely interested in what you guys were doing. Fishing brings everyone together.

[@kendahomie]

Lol "can I reel it in" If you slang me your digits....

[@mattnasty559]

Nice of you guys letting her reel in that fish

[@juanwilliams840]

no it would be one thing if she was a kid, but that's a grown ass adult. Go buy your own fishing equipment, and put some time into it. Plus when she says she caught a fish, she is ignorant. All she did was reel a fish in.

[@juanwilliams840]

because the way she acted was the problem with people today. They want want, but don't want to put time into anything.

[@golfislove.golfislife.745]

Juan Williams agreed

[@enginesandfishing]

"For her its big" lol but lets be real she didnt catch the fish, she made him give her the rod and the "reeled it in like a pro"

[@enginesandfishing]

I mean he was waiting for a fish forever and she just took it

[@j3pu69]

Could you imagine what would´ve happened if he didnt give her the rod. He had no cohice but to give it to her. I think that people like her should be ignored

[@mr.maximusonelius628]

Did anyone notice that while they where releasing the HUGE fish the other rod was blinking red

[@tiefsa]

Man! You guys cleaned up. Great job. Also loved the video before because Kevin taught me how to rig up a rod for cat fishing.

[@1Rod1ReelFishing]

+tiefsa Kevin offered some awesome catfishing tips, I learned a ton fishing with him!

[@nqi87]

Its a shame these waters aren't clean enough to warrant eating the fish -- these blue catfish would be tasty as hell I bet

[@matthewbricking3513]

You should've emailed Hillary to come fishing

[@ballisticfishing5188]

MattB Bassin she would delete it

[@poxpox2917]

+BallisticBassin that's just gold

[@saveamerica5265]

😂

[@DGKallday912]

" He's 6' 2", that thing is a monster" while he is holding the fish horizontal. Great comparison 😂 but love your videos man!

Hey mike you should come fishing in Canada for huge smallies,20 lb pike and white sturgeon.

[@bstinson4119]

You should try Lake of the Ozarks. All kinds of big cats and spoonbill.

[@NoahEB]

B Stinson spoonbill=paddlefish.

[@KhanMann66]

B Stinson Isn't it illegal to hook a paddlefish since they're endangered and all?

[@austinrosh6491]

Paddle fish was the best fishing I ever I done we snagged them in ok

[@OutdoorEnthusist]

This was great public relations on the behalf of Anglers everywhere. Very cute letting the young lady reel in the Blue Cat. Great video!

[@MchaelTeeter]

Mike I had such a great time watching this video! You guys were great. I love how you guys let the girl real that one in. Keep fishing bro.👊
