Fishing With STEAK!?!?

[@palmermonsen9098]

The fishing is great but can we take a minute to appreciate the cinematography and the B-Roll? Great video by the way Nick.

[@DirtyBertyGameing]

He really does a great job with that!!

[@mikebrown7664]

I think about this every time I was a 618 video. To me, it’s what really sets Nick apart from a lot of other fishing youtubers!

[@SpydaMikeHD]

Yes, he is awesome!

[@Thespanglerangler]

Man is really talented at videography and fishing!

[@IAmTheOnlyMrDaryl]

Always love the camera work and music. It works perfectly

[@mandonahan2monahan905]

Is it just me, or is Nick the most humble and most optimistic person on Earth, no matter if he catches a 10 lb bass or his drone gets caught in a tree?

[@motododo4626]

Yeah man his channel is real fishing. He shows thw losses he shows the tiny fish and shows the monsters and is happy to catch any fish. I've been binging his videos because it's the most realistic channel.

[@mannym2419]

Just finished setting up my rods for a trip tomorrow and this vid is exactly what i need to get me pumped up for some fishing!

[@618Fishing]

Good luck!!

Try some chicken livers! You want a big catfish......this will do it!

[@ChiefsNation3peat]

Yeah catfish will eat anything really, shrimp, livers, nightcrawlers, hot dogs even crickets

[@EOD_90]

Koolaid and chicken breast

[@ChiefsNation3peat]

@@EOD_90 Cut smaller fillets of the chicken breast and let them soak in the chicken liver blood for a couple of days It works really good

I was thinking same thing. I would love to see those bowfin tear into some livers!

Thank you!

Awesome video ! That school of crappie were very nice ,looked like a blast on the ultra light. I can't wait to see you catch something on the grocery store baits. Thanks for the videos as always amazing work

[@618Fishing]

Thanks Ben I appreciate it!

[@karoliledo4944]

In ireland apart from live/frozen bait we use bacon to catch pike...and it actually works. Gr8 videos m8 keep the good work coming 👌

[@tjscreenwriter123]

Thanks for the 2nd helpin' of steak fishing (with a side of bacon) order up pal! Great stuff, Nick! "Suggestion for future"... use the various spray scents on your bait and lures and see if your ratio improves. I have to say your fishing day turned to "Crap" py LOL.

[@danieldeneau7802]

The secret for scent would be to marinate the meat chunks 1st 🍖

[@DOSHIELD]

I discovered your channel this past week, Nick. I love the effort and quality you put into the cinematography, wholesome and positive attitude you demonstrate, your excitement and pure enjoyment of fishing, and the interactivity with the invisible audience. I appreciate that I can leave your videos running with my kids around and not have to worry about questionable content. Great work, and I hope you have great success continuing this project. Fish on!

[@kingsrd1]

Try bread in the cold, spam is good, cheese paste, very widely used in UK, have caught carp on custard paste, peparami, dog biscuits and banana 🍌 Fish will eat anything

[@fishingpunk7176]

Thanks for the upload Nick. Hope you got home and warmed up... It looked really cold... keep up the greart work!!

[@AB-zg5zl]

You put a prime grade ribeye on the hook, you might catch ME...

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

damnit Was gonna say that !

[@Tiger-From-Clemson]

That's what I was thinking! Haven't had steak in over 2yrs, them fish was getting the royal treatment but didn't realize it!

[@chrisgo9330]

I think he already did that...I been bingeing his vids and remember seeing one I believe

[@TC-er5xy]

You're a trooper Nick! Fishing in the cold & rain is NOT fun! Never the less, we love the videos! Thanks

[@Fishin-mission1]

Ur the reason I got back into fishing! Thanks for taking us on all your fishing adventures.

[@nicholiflame5193]

I’ve noticed that in a lot of fishing channels people don’t use small baits or lures, but you do. I’ve caught most of my PBs on a 1/8 ounce lure.

[@spencerb891]

Caught my biggest largemouth on a small crappie grub when I was targeting bluegill under a dock...lol

[@Psychoti]

That Winter Crappie fishing is some fun stuff. In a few more weeks the bite is going to get even better.

[@fudgenugget8763]

"I got a big piece of steak on there with some bacon" Where I come from we call it steacon

[@beebob1279]

I call it breakfast

[@francoislaubscher7211]

I will call that a nice pece of fish bait

[@prideofcanadabruh2320]

It's "Piece" , sorry not sorry

[@cousinbrad2938]

Love the store buys for bait. Maybe a video on shopping for the stuff...? You have to admit, it would be funny seeing just how weird of baits you come up with.

[@07PaulyShore07]

If you can find them in your local grocery store, try salted cured whole sardines. They are smelly and super oily, btw love the channel, you’re awesome, keep it up

[@joelhennessey3397]

G'day mate. Just a thank you from downunder, got a busted spine, so don't get out much. Love what your doing. You look like your happy and enjoy what you do. It's what it's all about. Thanks

[@ChiefsNation3peat]

That first crappie was a great eating size Maybe on your next fishing trip, try shrimp for bait

[@johnloughran648]

It's not always a big fish day I love that you enjoy the small ones too. Great video really like how you put them together

[@joecamerer2865]

The grocery store adventures continue, and "I'm a little surprised" it didn't work, said no one. Seems odd to me, since bacon wrapped Filet Mignon is one of the natural foods in their eco system, really really puzzling! Hopefully you had enough left over to eat yourself when you got home. As far as grocery bait goes, my did used swear by using shrimp soaked in banana extract when catfishing in Wyoming.

[@rustynuts8668]

I've caught some nice catfish on bacon and some garlic powder

[@bigkinnybass]

@@rustynuts8668, I've caught a lot on garlic powder. I have seen them caught on hickory smoked bacon right out of the package.

[@coreyhallman3134]

No mid western guys will use chicken liver but they are fire 🔥

[@krismetcalfe4695]

Hey, for catfish here in Canada we use chicken liver. You can buy a bag at the grocery store. Put them in a jar in the garage for a week before you go fishing so they have a good stink going when your ready to use them

[@danielrittenhouse1321]

Fishing been tough here in WV dang. Thanks for the video Nick tough conditions but at least you caught some fish. The Meat Lovers Challenge has been cool to watch.

[@lazyplumber1616]

I have been enjoying your videos on tv and couldn't comment but now while I'm on my pc I can and want to say that I truly enjoy them. Besides the wonderful spillway fishing I've also been enjoying the country blues rock background music. The credits for the music in the end has led me to do more Y-T searching. Thank you and "See you later buddy".

[@perrydiehl7177]

My dad always used stew meat cause he didn’t have to cut it off it’s already cubed up the down side is you catch a lot of turtles but if you’re into eating them your golden

[@joshuadurost9063]

I'm literally your biggest fan you've inspired me to keep my head held high when I cant even get a bite and when I watch your videos I just feel like iv been catching fish the whole time stay safe God bless ps we live in the same state .!!

[@lordrayden3045]

You need to do this “experiment” in the summer Pork especially WILL WORK. This summer in lake Decatur and Weldon springs we were catching all kinds of things on it. Steak will work as well, but nit as much So try this in June / July

[@rodneywalden5358]

Down south you have to use cornbread, pork chops or collard greens for bait.

[@618Fishing]

😂

[@sayuncleordie]

I'd cook that steak while fishing.

[@danielcrowder8841]

Lol

[@John-fp6cd]

Agreed.

[@papeep2694]

Chicken livers? In my area they are very effective. A variety of fish. Livers are difficult to keep on a hook so you purchase inexpensive pantyhose or get old ones from a female in your life. Cut a square maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inch square. Put liver on it then tie the hose around it or you can just use the hook to keep the nylon closed. Bigger bait, bigger piece of nylon. Keeps it on the hook and helps keep crayfish from nibbling the liver away. Just a thought for you. Enjoy your videos.

[@225jigpole]

I hope you keep the Ultra Light with you on every video! Love seeing crappie being caught

[@ajporterfield]

I've always had good luck with Arby's french fries :)

[@danieldeneau7802]

Man i can really tell just how much you & your vids have grown . I bet when u first started all this , you would have never imagined that so many people would take an interest in your vids . They do like watching u fish , but at the same time , im sure that your great personality & handsome looks also has alot to do with your success here on youtube . Keep the vids coming & take care . and I'll be waiting on the next big one !

Caught many catfish on steak cubes, my preferred method now is steak cubes or raw chicken, marinate in cherry or grade coolaide with some garlic powder cant go wrong the steak stays on the hook the chicken not to bad but I wrap it in sewing thread

If you have a Dollar Tree near by you should see what they have that would be good fish bait that's not hotdogs.

[@jdizzforyou]

If 618 means southern IL I have a few spots in the southern 815 and 708 you should check out. Think mostly Kankakee area, get your PB channel, bullhead, blue cat, or carp... Spring is coming 😁

This is a known bait for chub fishing in winter in the UK. We use much smaller piece on a size 10 hook.

[@larryd4352]

I am surprised that the bacon didn't attract at least a catfish...as it was one of my go to baits for catching them in the Rio Grande river bellow Caballo Dam in New Mexico. We mainly used bacon or if we could catch some crawfish, we used them also.

[@buckjager2897]

Hey Nick, try using chicken liver soaked in Chilli pepper. I have always had really good luck with that but make sure you wear some gloves you don't want to touch your eyes. Love the work you put in your video.
