[@kingmiwashington5417]

Hell yea u aint no real fisherman if u aint said or did dat

[@clearlyepic9958]

I have been watching quite a few of your past episodes and I gotta say, your cinematography is as good as your enthusiasm for bank fishing! Well done! Steve

[@CastBlastCamp]

Very inspiring. Makes me wanna make vids of my area

[@altercard5389]

Take a drink every time he says ceya later buddy.

[@keviny704]

I like my liver functioning properly so no thank you sir🤣

[@Akren905]

Dont lol ruined my saturday doing this before fishing. All i caught was the toilet

[@Bobo0818ml]

Somebody’s gonna die

[@TimHaunFishing]

I can't, I'm on my second liver. This is a very expensive game

[@tomfisher2103]

Cheers! Here's to swimmin with bow legged women!

[@rademfam6856]

When you don’t catch anything for awhile the fishing gods send you a dead shad on the bank to catch your first fish

[@Bill-py1fn]

Hi Nick. I really like your longer episodes and hope that you can continue to produce these. Also, I had to endure a very traumatic event a few years ago that has proven to be an indefatigable adversary and then the pandemic. Your episodes have a calming effect on my psyche and I've come to depend on them and both the likeable manner in who you seem to be and your personal presentation of them. Needless to say, keep up the good work.

[@618Fishing]

Damien Blackthorne thanks Damien I appreciate the comment!

[@shanekennedy484]

Great work my friend! I love watching your videos. You've certainly brought fun back to fishing! Looking forward to your next video!

[@andrewwarburton3943]

Love the mellow vibe of your films Nick. We're currently not allowed out to play here in Scotland due to coronavirus lockdown restrictions, watching your films helps ease the boredom. Keep them coming buddy.

[@michaelcoursey3834]

My brother told me about your channel. I’m glad he told me about them. I love the fact that you don’t use curse words while fishing. Love all the footage. Drone footage you captured on a lot of spots is amazing. Great job

[@bernjwallace6877]

You catch some of the best fish. I like watching your videos; keep em up. Awesome sky views as well. Tight lines.🎣

[@jeremiahhedeen3879]

Way to go cleaning that fishes line up, I have caught browns in the truckee River NV with multiple flies in there lips and always try helping out the fish, good on you

[@dawsonsanford2489]

If you want to catch some big catfish, come to Mississippi. We have tons of them lol

[@haydengregg7661]

Yes they do you just gotta find the right holes i live in iowa and i go to Illinois sometimes and fish in the Mississippi but i fish off a private sand bar

[@dawsonsanford2489]

Hayden Gregg nice. I live in Mississippi so we use some really stinky bait like liver

[@ericdavis9210]

@@dawsonsanford2489 me too. I've caught plenty of em on liver.

[@baileyhopkins879]

Pickwick has some monsters

[@Bobo0818ml]

Dawson Sanford I live in Texas but where I am we don’t have many natural lakes so people have to introduce wildlife but the fish to turtle ratio is about 1 : 5 right now so the only thing I caught yesterday was a huge turtle

[@isaiahsampson14]

When you planning on coming back to Florida for those sharks lol

[@618Fishing]

Isaiah Sampson hopefully sooner rather than later!

[@thomaspadgett5820]

U should come to South tx

[@patcoyable]

I'm in Tampa bay. Hit me up!

[@jtothefx]

You’ve got the bowfin honey hole...

[@rfire731]

Awesome! I can't hardly wait until they open up fishing in my State. Thanks sharing your videos. I'm living vicariously through them.👍🎣🎣🎣

[@FJohnson001]

Everytime I watch this channel I am jealous of Illinois fishing laws. It's so much harder fishing one line and no game fish (sunnies) as bait in MN.

[@carlanderson5022]

I feel u

[@FirstCatch]

Nice fishing episode! Stay away from the poison ivy.......🙂 Giant thumbs up video!

[@bigbear1499]

That was an awesome fun fishing spot! Great job Nick and thanks for taking us on you trips 👍👍👍 excellent work!

[@roberthuffar6538]

Catching fish like that is one of the best ways to spend a day!

[@joshuabell3673]

I love how much effort you put into your videos! The scenery is amazing! Btw your the KZbinr I watch to get information about fishing to catch monsters.

[@jsm101able]

Around now is a good time to hit the Rend Lake spillway, when the water is high. Lots of crappie, gar, and I even seen a guy catch an almost 20lb spoonbill catfish a few years ago.

[@paulbarbacano1109]

Yes....more catch, clean, and cook would be fun

[@cbd228theawsome7]

Honestly nick I want to fish with you dude!You make it look so fun!

[@paulyp36]

About to hop on a plane to go fishing in Alaska for 3 months, can't wait to watch all your videos when I get back. Have a good summer fishing man! Hope you catch some big ones👍

[@618Fishing]

Bradley J awesome man sounds like a blast! Good luck!

[@paulbassbrackens]

Sometimes when storms roll in the barometric pressure will rise fast and cause fish’s air bladders to expand. Which in turn makes the fish not feed because they feel “sick.” I’ve also noticed that if the barometric pressure is at or above 30.6 it makes for very difficult fishing. That could’ve been what caused them to all of a sudden stop biting. Awesome video as always. Peace, love, music, and fishing! ✌️❤️🎶🎣

[@davidmattingly1574]

Half the bowfin you catch try to bite your hand on the way out. When will you do more microfishing? Rapala's micro lures are really good, and you should try some tiny feathered jigs.

[@lanceschuyler8440]

Why do people like micro Fishing? Like “oooo I wanna catch a mino” like a child at the beach

[@joedanvers1010]

Another great adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bastizilla]

Awesome video as always & some great catches! Btw, fave fishing channel by far, gets me even more hyped for the next fishing day 😁

[@benstiles5765]

Deff an awesome day of fishing. Every time I heard your drag start screaming I got so excited , you deff arrived at that spot at the perfect time rite in the midst of a great bite of quality bow fins does it get much better. Great video as usual can't wait for the next.

[@618Fishing]

Ben Stiles thanks Ben I appreciate it!

[@catfishkid]

It’s a pretty steep Bank the river that we go fishing in here in Arizona there’s a place that’s about 75 feet do you and in the winter it’s probably the best spot at the river for big catfish but has a 7 foot drop off right at the bank

[@mikeyfreshizzle]

i live in Phoenix, what river are you speaking about? i need a new fishing spot

[@catfishkid]

michael rollins upper salt river

[@mikeyfreshizzle]

@@catfishkid gotcha thank you

[@618Fishing]

GamingandCatfish dang that would make lading a big one interesting. I’m guessing you lower a pier style net down and rope it up?

[@catfishkid]

618 Fishing hey can you give me a shout me out and I’ll shout you out on my channel

[@carrollcox2322]

618 in the house! You Rock!

[@tylertrippe7753]

You had some good catches love to see your vids have a hell of a good day brother

[@618Fishing]

Tyler Trippe thanks Tyler!

[@peterderidder9922]

Heeey , this is good from you, this time you didnt forget youre landingnet ! well done. This was one of youre best days of fishing of what I saw from you. And it was a beautifull fishing spot. If I was you I would go there net time again ;-) . This spot looks like a place where you can catch everything , and for shure somme monsters.

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

What 😳 awesome fishing trip 😎 wish I was as good as you maybe someday 😉 hell 3647 is not too bad. As always happy fishing and tight lines my friends.

[@danthompson25]

Brother Nick, The best way I've found to remove the the threat of poison ivy is, Dawn dishwashing detergent and a wash rag. The wash rag is very important. Dawn cuts the ivy oil and the wash rag is the deep cleaning scrub. Works really well.

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

That works well my wife makes me use laundry soap to 😂

[@paulfisher123]

love your videos,thank you for posting!

[@leandrescott150]

I see you found the spot lol we always catch big there in the evening an when the sun goes down small cats bite back to back off of worms

[@brentwayne4895]

Love the videos! I’m from around Alton but got stationed in Kansas. Refreshing to see familiar fishing spots in your videos, keep up the great work!

[@ericarbuckle9537]

Nice my first only dog fish was 16" you caught some big boys 👍 nice what is a spill way I live in Michigan

[@michaelcoursey3834]

There ya go. You got some nice glasses with no scratches. 😁👍

[@Unknownbrand]

Nick, where do you find your music? You got great taste buddy 👍 Awesome Bowfin fishing, I'm sure you'll get that new PB this season!

[@stevendominguez1055]

I love your channel straight to the point no bs keep it up. Congrats on all the success!!

[@niklasolleasberg]

You are on fire! Keep up the good work

[@catfishkid]

My papa is fishing right now and he caught three or four 20 to 30 pound catfish

[@brokenbackunlimited2187]

Great video, your filming, editing, and music choices where all spot on compared to when I first started watching your channel. I'm very impressed with your progress. And what a day of fishing, right.

[@_skitlzz]

i’m so glad i found you! you always make my day

[@jacehilton3277]

I like how casual he walks over to the rod when it's bending over and the bell on the end is going crazy lol

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Nice video! It was a good day for catching big fish!

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

I never been to this spillway there’s a few I need to hit up in our area . I went to Peabody strip mines the other day it was closed sucked drove a hour for nothing . I can’t wait to it opens again . Looks like a great spot the only place I caught a bowfin was at horseshoe lake .

[@paulbarbacano1109]

But ALWAYS a great channel to watch...😀

[@thesingingfishermanchef253]

Awesome video. You have inspired me to start my own channel and show videos of fishing here in Idaho also being a music guy I love your music you put with your videos. Thanks.

[@josephaguon703]

Here we go guys, holy cow, see you later buddy. Great catch on the bowfins.

[@tcxp]

I’m from the 618 aswell, if your wanting to catch monster fish go to Carlyle lake and fish off that spill way you won’t be disappointed!!

[@aburnley28]

Hi from the UK Nick. This spillway fishing is so cool. Nothing like that here, including the bowfins. Loving your vids. Keep it up. See ya later buddy :)

[@adicanon]

The most exciting edition, got lots of monster fish ,, 🎣 🇮🇩 Mancing mania,, Merdeka ,,!

[@sherribra]

My boy back at it again with a spillway video. They will never get old.

[@denisedemetroff2881]

Barometric pressure change stopped that bite' Loved the bits of slo-mo scattered thru-out !!

[@josh4207987]

I love fishing for bowfins. Its like fighting a catfish in the beginning until they realize theyre hooked then they fight like a musky. Keep it up man youll get a giant. My biggest is 35" didnt have a scale but it was heavy

[@618Fishing]

joshua oakes dang that’s a giant! I agree they are insane on the end of a line... so much fun to catch

[@colton72395]

I can’t go fishing in Washington yet cause it’s closed so I get my fishing fix but watching you lol

[@618Fishing]

Colton Boo well I appreciate you watchin Colton!

[@mike81399]

Hopefully you get your freedom back soon! We just got some fishing rights back here in Michigan

[@guyquinton2413]

Your governor is a corrupt tyrant ... stand up

[@colton72395]

Well thanks for replying fishing here just open today everything except the ocean so we’re going to take the boat out and go for some Cokenee

[@colton72395]

Also yes our governor is a tyrant but I am the cattle rancher and pig farmer and all the other local farmers have started our own militia so nothing to worry about there

[@michaelsmith7193]

A great video with some excellent photography! I’m also impressed with your drone usage - you don’t over use it, just enough to establish a scene. Well done!

[@618Fishing]

Michael Smith thanks Michael!

[@addisonswearngin4004]

Phlueger and St. Croix, can’t beat that combo. It’s my favorite for trout, crappie and bluegill. Also good for Pike, 8 pound largemouth and a 6 pound wiper.... ned rigs always produce some interesting fish! Happy fishing, keep the videos coming!

[@618Fishing]

Addison Swearngin I agree! Just purchased a new combo (st croix/pflueger) slightly bigger than the one I have. Excited to catch my first fish with it

[@addisonswearngin4004]

618 Fishing can’t wait to see the video! If you ever make it to Iowa I can take you to some good spillways with some big fish!

[@tomfisher2103]

I think I'm going to put " see ya later buddy" on my tombstone.

[@Kevin-hn6wp]

I grew up in Illinois in the 60's , fished a lot in the Illinois river , cricks and streams didn't have spillways where I was . Never heard of a bow fin until I found Nicks' great videos . Are these an import ? Love the drone shots by the way .

[@neezy2eezy458]

Love the channel brother, good vibes. Come fish in South Carolina!

[@brianeisenga882]

This looks like a pretty good spot. Looking down. Thinking I won't get to wet I slip and fall. 😆

[@rockythunder4458]

[@adamsfishingchannel514]

Great video nick! Man those bowfine are awesome!!

[@618Fishing]

Adam's Fishing Channel thanks man!

[@henrystallins5248]

Hey Nick you should come down to Dawson springs Kentucky and fish in our little river. Bet you'd love the catfish that we pull out of there

[@robparkersfishingworld]

One of you're best shows yet bro. Them bowfin are so fun. My pb is only like 4lbs but they fight so good. Tight lines Nick

[@nomdeguerre7265]

They're really great fish. I've caught them up to 10 lbs. in SC, back in the swamps in the Pee Dee.

[@kalodner666]

Hey bud, you should be using a net to land some of those bowfin, I'd also suggest an unhooking mat too :)

[@quintonmooring999]

Here in NC we call the bowfin aka Blackfish a trash fish but they are fun to catch no dout ...They get huge down here...10 - 15 pounders all day long and they get much larger than that..my PB was 17 and change...I really enjoy the videos ....makes me feel like sneaking away from work to drown a worm or two

[@kspicer3132]

i find it funny how you say fish on after youve been fighting it for a bit haha

[@danielcannaday2207]

Dude I love your shows and channel great day of fishing I can't believe you had a man scaping tremor add that said saving balls on the advertisement LOL

[@andrewbartell8962]

Pro tip . Mix shad , bluegill and chicken livers in a coffee can and put it in the sun for a few days then use treble hook. Works everytime. Just don't open in a closed space or get any on you!

[@iain79]

That's some great fishing for bowfin man excellent stuff mate tight lines 😀👍

[@618Fishing]

iain* thanks man!

[@joesfishingadventures2713]

Come to south africa for some giant catfish (100 pounders)

[@j0909vfjklc]

Great catches. Starting to make me want to come across the river to fish

[@hellraiser319]

We caught our first bowfin in northern WI, and they’ve been popular with others up there, seems you’re right on the “year of the bowfin” remark. 😂

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Awesome video bud wish we had bowfin around here there are a beautiful fish

[@Truckerdaddy]

Here in East Texas you don't find Bowfin in the big lakes too often but more often you'll find them in small creeks

[@Truckerdaddy]

My biggest is about 2lbs and I caught it on a spinnerbait

[@ekbanjosworld4926]

Nick ! Dude !!! Show us your rod storage setup in your rig ! 👍 I have an 99 Jeep Cherokee XJ !

[@douglasnelson4488]

You were fishing at 4:27. Standing on that strip of river with a BIGFOOT X RIGHT BEHIND YOUR HEAD.. His River after dark..youve walked by alot of their signs trail markers

[@austin79761]

Hey Nick, it's not an issue for me, but in the state of Illinois you can legally only have 2 lines in the water.

[@mattpastell3728]

Dawn Ultra dishwashing detergent is the best thing I’ve used for poison oak. Poison ivy and sumac also have usishiol oil so it should work on them.

[@shaftysgaming9857]

Surprised there is no carp in there but hey some nice boffin caught a nice one ice fishing good eating they are

Plenty of bowfin in central New York. We definitely do not target them intentionally though. Nice to see some fish being caught though

[@robertmadden332]

I love your videos and have been watching since there micro days. Question for you, what model reel do you have on the Ugly Stick? It looks like my old Mitchell 300 but sounds like my grandmother's Shakespeare. Either way, that reel looks in great shape for a 20+ year old reel.

[@mattarmstrong8197]

I'd be very frustrated if I was trying to stick big cats and couldn't keep the bowfin off.

[@fredbloggs8362]

Nick you have a great presenting style. Are Bowfin generally ranked somewhat lowly by your fellow anglers? Have u ever caught a Muskie? Thanks
