I Caught a MONSTER NEW PB!!! (Biggest Fish of the YEAR!)

DO NOT FISH HERE. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING.

[@carlosbenitez6827]

This is the lb fishing line Nick needs to upgrade to🎣 ⬇️

[@jonathanjadotte]

100 lb loll

[@ilikefishing7468]

150😂lol, low key that be pretty nice

[@BlackSlimShady]

@@ilikefishing7468 Low key nice? Wouldnt it just be nice, not on the low at all, just clear as day nice.

Sunfish: This nice guy is gonna call me little buddy and let me go Sunfish, one minute later: Hey! Wait a min...

yeah,I was shocked by that too!!!

[@jmilxtune6637]

The fact that Nick leaves in all of his falls and fails makes him that much better of a youtuber

[@thehamptonsbutcher3786]

Fails make it more interesting.

[@stardusk1726]

Perfectly imperfect

[@kf4293]

Yup. "Oh! He got off! That was a gar! But he got off!" Love his energy and enthusiasm, even when they get away.

[@toddfranklin4063]

I had to feel bad for him when he broke his $1,000 camera lens. I really like that he is so sincere with his reactions. But more than anything, I enjoy listening to how excited he gets with each cast and with each bite he gets. BTW: Where does he live and fish?

[@bryanaspinwall800]

Title should read “Ooohhhh that’s a big fish.... wait no it’s not.... I lost it.”

[@troutandbass3084]

Never seen a guy lose so many fish in one vid 😂

[@bakervinci163]

Trout and Bass maybe call it “loosing fish”

[@dallas9795]

That's cause he sucks... Haha

[@mengher9600]

Probably using some garbage ass hooks

[@michaelbaessler8982]

Wonder if he's using barb-less hooks. I know they're required in some areas, etc. He catches more fish on a bad day than I have in the past two years.

[@jacobshort2728]

[@BostonFenian]

That shot of the snake carrying off its fish was cool as hell

[@saginawdan]

That was the highlight!

[@henrystallins5248]

What kinda snake was that

This is the number of times Nick said it's a Big fish! ⬇️

Hi Nick! Love your channel. I have been watching you for awhile now, & just wanted to send along my compliments. You are fun to watch, entertining, have a great personality, and your video editing is EXCEPTIONAL! Keep up the great motivational spirit buddy! Blessings!

[@reecemoore3951]

you need to hit this same spot with way heavier tackle and you’re gonna tear it up. that would be a sick video

[@georgebud287]

The last 2 videos i watched from you, blew my mind ! You are a lucky man to undertake such amazing quests ! Keep up the good work, Nick !

[@ismaelcarranzaortiz9541]

What a great spot. Lots of different species. I love your videos. Greetings from Costa Rica, Pura vida!

[@Rodentfisherman]

Ismael Carranza Ortiz nice place to live👍🏻

[@sirdumocheshire2578]

Good job 618!!! Those fish were amazing and I've never been fishing for gar and accidentally cause one once. You have me a new way to do it. Thank you.

_Loved this place is amazing, Congratulations, beautiful fish!_ Hug here from *Brazil.* 👍🎣 😉😊

Great video, Nick. Huge fan of yours, hope some day we can fish together if you ever come down to Arkansas! Keep up the good work!!

[@seanoneill9930]

Dude this was the best video you have even done, it could have been 4 hours and I would have watched every second. And so many good t-shirt phrases😁

[@jimmansi1187]

New sub here & I’m loving this channel! Every fish is a big fish or pb & he’s not afraid to show his screw ups, so entertaining while catching fish. Every time I fish I loose lures, cast into trees, slip into the water or get my rods tangled up. This is becoming my favorite fishing channel, don’t change a thing, nice catches!

[@danmilbourn]

Sir you're driving me crazy with all the fish you loose but I enjoyed the video and will keep watching

[@scottalberts3229]

Definitely a special day and episode!!! I was glad you weren't hurt! Really enjoyed this one! Keep up the good work!

[@rfire731]

Congratulations on that huge catfish! That was awesome to watch! Although you know you still have to go back for that State record gar we were all hoping you'd catch out of that spot. Great video, always fun to watch!

[@618Fishing]

thank you! i tried so hard to catch one, but it wasn't happening. not giving up though!

[@archiekharis4702]

That day was just not your day

[@dougalexander7204]

Crazy day, eh? A lotta folks poking fun about fish on, fish off, of thinking it’s a mobster or even a PB, but man, the way I see it is you’re out there doing it. And, you’re taking us along on your adventures, slippery rocks, snakes and all. Thank you.

[@flux8438]

"These Gar are difficult to hook up with." -618 Fishing. Wine and dine em, bro. Whisper sweet nothings in their ear. Flash a little money around and you're in there like swim wear. Gar want strong yet sensitive men who can support them financially.

[@618Fishing]

hahahaha

[@jacobcrawford3526]

LOL

[@danieldeneau7802]

Piece of frayed rope or fuzzy yarn will catch you your gar as they get their teeth tangled.

[@joelburchett5476]

Every video is a new pb or state record or a monster fish😂

[@aandwoutdoors6503]

Joel Burchett at least he actually catches them😂

[@futbol4981]

Joel Burchett facts 😂

[@williamkleck637]

Joel Burchett he actually catches huge fish though so what’s your deal

[@Apache-Adventures]

Thats just how good he is 😎🤷‍♂️

[@MorrisOutdoors98]

When most of his uploads are him using micro lures, it's a bit more of an accomplishment

[@joshuavanscoyk9404]

Nice video bro! You gotta experiment with the ned rig, you’ll catch every species in that body of water big or small. I thought it was a bs gimmick but it’s the real deal.

[@jimverbaere6097]

Nick is to funny. He gets so excited. Fish on, Fish on !! That's what makes him worth watching. Well 1 of the reasons.😁

[@davidscalf1]

Congratulations on the PB man. That's awesome whenever they happens.

[@keitechswingimpact1018]

You're the best guy with the best channel in the USA. I love to watch your Videos! Greetz from Germany my friend 👍

[@the113dave2]

This is how many time he said no! 👇

[@C-Smith-87]

Like the video and fishing spot but for the life of me idk why you wldnt use ur net for the fish ur having trouble landing.

[@alexanderh.5814]

Use your damn net

[@DavidJones-xe8eq]

Shitty at setting the hook i will say that much

[@MrJeffro01]

I'm cracking up you fall or slip as much as I do. Keep on fishing kid your rockin it.

[@RoseCityBassin]

You really gotta get some heavier spinning setups w heavier line I would be very depressed after losing that many fish because of gear

[@diplogg6782]

I don't think it's the line they're just coming unhooked

[@lcrecel]

@@diplogg6782 He has a very poor hook set. That's the biggest mistake I see in nearly all the videos.

[@frankmanning5166]

It has nothing to do with his gear. That’s how fishing gar goes. That have armored mouths and they chew their food. They are very hard to hook into, you have to get lucky with where the hook ends up.

[@jacobcrawford3526]

I would suggest bringing your fly rod down to that spot next time and fishing for gar with some gar streamers, which are typically made out of a piece of rope that had been completely frayed apart. The theory is that the gar will bite the lure and get the rope strands wrapped in their teeth and around their jaw. Maybe you've heard of this technique? I know how much you love UL lures, but gar are exceedingly difficult to catch on treble hooks most of the time... Anyways, just a thought. Love your vids! Keep up the good work!

[@PapaPepper]

Been enjoying your vids a lot lately! Keep it up, amazing stuff and just a lot of fun!

[@codysmackdown1]

Honestly I gotta give u the trophy for most patience by any one human being on a single fishing adventure 😂👍👍👍👍👍 great videos keep them comin!

[@crazyaboutfishing]

How could you say fishing was slow?..you lost so many,you hooked so many,you caught bait fish,you caught a giant soft shell and you caught your personal best catfish...what else to watch? It was an amazing video...

[@uAintliveifudontthiz]

Lol I was like wtf

[@samuelwarden6285]

Wow Nick great vid as always. I would definitely beef up the gear a lil bit and go back to that spot. Or did you already because i noticed you had a baitcaster towards the end. It sucks that the line broke so many times. 👊👍

[@bradypilgrim684]

When I fish for gar on treble hooked baits i count to 3-5 after they bite it to set the hook because usually they grab things with the very very top of the mouth and you’ll rip it out of there mouth every time by waiting it lets them get a second bite on it giving you a better hook up ratio

[@SDonMega1558]

Too bad more of those hits couldn't have been hook ups! Sounds like you should revisit that spot again. Loved the video, loved the "eating sh*t on the rocks" clips at the end just as much!! 🤣 Grats on the PB cat! Keep up the great work!!

[@michaelminner4905]

You've GOT go bring a tarp to lay over the edge of that spillway so your lures dont smash into pieces.

[@tinyslug7107]

michael minner or use bulsa wood lures there

[@vinmad6669]

LOVE ur channel and videos........thanks brother...... keep fishing never stop......PEACE

[@westong1763]

You need some braided line bro it’s expensive but it’s strong and it’s thin and it lasts a long time

[@waynesingleton5322]

But it isn't abrasive. So no he shouldn't used braided line.

[@westong1763]

Wayne Singleton the upsides overpower the downs man. The pound test to diameter will help nick a ton

[@jakehansen3418]

@@westong1763 the issue with braid and only downfall it has in my eyes is fish can easily see it under water compared to mono or floruro and that is a big issue.

[@westong1763]

jake hansen true. I just think it ain’t worth hooking into a big fish if it has a high chance of breaking off😬😂

[@NiksiIsmo]

@@jakehansen3418 mono sucks

[@ltc214]

Keep up the good job nick...love ur editing and videos may I suggest u try using the yozuri braid line works great on small reel and u get a lot of line on them a lot of braid line with small diameter bought mines after my to yozuri beans...

We didnt heare the audio but we have seen that you had al lot of fun while doing it ( love al your vids keep it up❤️❤️❤️)

That was a big ass catfish,Awsome job. I Drive truck, we have terminal in Edwardsville, ill. 👍👍👍👍 Scott from Kentucky

[@kayrnmalone723]

You should do a live bait challenge in that creek. Never know what else is in there

[@twistednrg6293]

That snake was cool! I seen one in my last video too. Awesome fishing session, you hooked onto heaps bud! Shame they kept getting off, maybe try a slightly larger hook to get past those teeth... just a thought. Til next one 🤙

[@guppy719]

Yeah I am guessing the snake keeps on approaching him in videos because they think he has fish. I have had them try and eat them off the stringer.

[@brayden_31]

Keep up the amazing vids🎣

[@ToothyWally]

This is one of my favourite videos. I’m new to making videos and some days things don’t always go your way. You still persevered and put together a solid vid nonetheless. Keep it up!

[@onfootbassin]

Nice video, but my goodness I have never seen anyone lose as many fish as you.

[@chadwickchurchill2695]

Love your videos man. Love from the mitten!

Next time take that white Gar lure you made out of rope. We'd love to see a state record broken!

[@Gurren813]

Great catfish! Just had a slow day of fishing in my area but still had a good time. Also that snake with a baitfish in it's mouth was a great shot!

[@ryanshepherd5738]

Tip for the day: heavier rod snd heavier line.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Dang, those rocks had it in for you. And the snakes. 😄 Thanks for the entertaining videos. Let’s me live vicariously through you.

I've lost my share brother. Long as I learn an don't repeat those mistakes I'm good. If I do oh well it's a reminder 😂

[@2strokin70]

I remember my first fish!🤣just giving you a hard time! Love the enthusiasm though..just wait till you actually catch a big one ..like much bigger than those babies you're catching..

[@tylerbaker8086]

Try a hair jig or something that will get caught in the gars teeth

[@Ellros]

Bundle of yarn tied to a hook also works. Plus gar have really tough jaws, so you need SHARP hooks and a HARD hookset to drive the point into the jaw.

[@618Fishing]

i actually had a rope lure rigged up, but only had one take and they didn't get tangled up

[@fishbasslover]

I really enjoyed your channel! I hope you have many more PB and new species!

It's tough walking on rocks! They seem sticky and firm until you step on them! We've all had "special" days on the water. I appreciate your transparency and enthusiasm in your vids! Thanks! Keep 'em coming! BTW, what was the weight of the PB Cat?

[@ViolatorZ06]

"Fish on! ...ahh no no no, he's off "

[@sighrusgann8200]

Keep it up with that ultralight bro makes it more of a challenge extra respect your new spot is very interesting as well

[@HaZadeur1]

TLDW for those with no time: "it`s a monster"... "It`s a big fish"" ... "It`s off"... invest some money in decent hooks dood

[@richardjohnson4238]

Or at least sharpen the ones you have.

[@deblhanson]

Good video! I like the dirt on your nose in the one catfish clip. 😍🤪

Hey Nick I love watching your vids man! Started using micro baits eversince watching your channel. Have you thought of picking up a new reel for your ultra light setup? Ived used the presidents but i currently own the new daiwa revros LT 1000 and its awesome,smoother than the president (also itll look nice in the vids 😉)

[@joshuanovak7421]

Try and break the state record again

[@tammyk.1605]

What a sweet spot! What a huge cat too! I’d go back there with a catfish rod, heavy line, of course, a medium size bass weight and little cheddar smokies. It would be easier. Catches huge blues and giant carp at dusk/night mostly and sometimes monster Bass... if they are there and it seems like they are. I’d be there all of the time. 😀

[@-allblck1gunman-286]

Bro he lost like every fish I can’t lol

[@bozoone3781]

You need heavier tackle and a much more aggressive hook set. With just reeling into them rather than setting the hook it's no wonder so many of the fish got off! That spillway has a lot of potential!

[@sebastianseguel5330]

You really lack experience with big fish brother, you can't lose so many! Better keep fishing with old things that I like! greetings from Argentina!

[@mybestlifeoutdoors7077]

Have you considered trying to make a lure made from rope? I've never done it we don't have gar where I live but I do watch a lot of fishing and I have seen people take like a 4'-8" piece of rope and they unravel it and fray out the ends. There's no hook or anything it just tangles in the gars teeth..

[@chrisstarkey9514]

We used to use something called a "gar gettr" I think is what is was called. You need to find one! It's an inline spinner bait with no hooks. It has loops of nylon instead and as soon as they touch it they are caught. Great vids btw. I put a pic of it below.
