Thursday is always great. It's the day before the weekend and Nick drops another great fishing video

[@radix1232]

Friday should be legally recognized as weekend

[@dfauber59]

Best fishing channel on KZbin. I’ve been here since a few thousand subscribers. Quality fron the beginning

[@Kreepo420]

You inspired me to go fishing at a spillway for the first time and I caught 4 largemouth bass, 2 bowfin, and a 32 pound flathead catfish

[@JoyBrennecke]

Always enjoyed fishing the banks of small creeks, especially the ones that are hard to get to. Keep up the good work, I know it's tough especially when filming. Thanks!

[@robmangeri777]

My kids all call “Wonder” by Generdyn “BIG FISH MUSIC” now 😎👍🏼 Fun times Nick! Great spot!

[@lifeinpov4K]

when LOVE FOR THE OCEAN HITS I always get goosebumps! Love your videos Nick, love your editing, love the songs you choose, LOVE FISHING! Big Up from Italy!!!

[@chrisbillman6250]

Been watching ur vids for a few years now...can't believe I get mad when ya don't post one a week...ty so much!

[@detroitdiy]

Thanks Nick for taking us on that adventure. From the thumbnail I figured you hooked into a monster catfish, wasn't expecting a turtle. Nonetheless awesome day of fishing and a great video.

[@Davidfeesh]

Always a good time when you upload a video

[@grahamsclater9988]

Always good to see the different fish you have in the US..............

[@johnpaul-zq2wi]

As always nick I enjoyed this episode a lot....your editing skills and shots are crazy good quality and just amazing....fan of 618fishing for life!!!!!

[@reelingwithrobby]

Just when I though I couldn’t survive the last hour of work nick drops a banger…. LETS GOOOO

[@Rene_atv]

Bro thanks for all the videos, you encouraged me to try bowfin fishing and I caught 2 the biggest 13lbs

[@618Fishing]

Dang! That’s a monster!

[@luismontalvo8640]

Fun to watch channel!! Keep it up!

[@jussdank]

Thanks for yet another awesome fishing adventure. Tight lines!

[@stevenfobear4793]

Sweet looking fishing spot bro

[@bigtaliberto3092]

That gar early on is one of the most beautiful gar ive ever seen. There are some areas near where I live that Ive seen gar, 5 and 6 foot long, jumping completely out of the water. Its awesome.

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Another amazing adventure thanks Nick I love the variety of fish you catch each outing is awesome

[@heavymetalfishingus]

great video once again. 🎣🐟🎣

[@hankwilliams999]

a little tip that I learned fishing for gar in spots like that is to take a weightless treblehook with a tiny bobber using tiny peices of cut bait helps your hookup ratio big time

[@ancientfishing]

Those small spillways always have some surprises.

[@spartikus1370]

Great video nate keep making these awesome fishing trips. Especially the waterfall looking spots.

[@danielrittenhouse1321]

What an awesome fishing adventure. Dang that spillway has a lot of fish in it. Can't wait to see you to go back to that untouched fishing spot.

[@billyhurley6866]

That was a beautiful gar and a jumper too. You really make good videos! Thanks I look forward to everyone you put out.

[@thomasfouts2700]

What a great looking place to fish! Beautiful spot, nice fish. Hope you don't get the ivy!

[@mikebravo3993]

Great video. Fun fishing trip!!

[@mikepollock8295]

Despite the turtle you got a lot of nice catches! Not a wasted trip at all and very fun. Well Nick have a great and fun and safe weekend and see you next adventure! Take care dude!

[@k.pierce8767]

Originally from 618 and I miss it. Some of the best fishing I have ever done. In WV now and it's not bad either but still nothing like fishing in southern Illinois.

[@colby6131]

You are really good at making fun videos.

[@joshpeterson2203]

I know a spot that I’ve taken pics and it doesn’t show how actually scary it is getting down there and back up at the end. Great catch on the gars and another cool video! I like the music too :-)

[@petercarreon3605]

That turtle cam highlight was my favorite part 🫡

[@WingmanJohnny]

Great fishing. Keep up the good work

[@davidbullett499]

Awesome as always have a great memorial day weekend hope you go fishing I’m gonna

[@chriscasterbassmaster]

When the music starts you know it's gonna be great. Nice nick.

[@craigw6557]

Now that the rains backed off, got my first trip set for Monday. Can't wait

[@guylelanglois6642]

Funny, being from Alaska, I had no idea what you meant by spillway when I first started watching you. It's pretty descriptive, but I never saw one. Another nice day of fishing. See you later, buddy.

[@jeffreyevens2033]

Another cool place, thanks for risking the poison ivy to take me fishing!

[@oraziodeluca8581]

Nick!!! great video again my friend..... Sending my best from Boston, MASS

[@tarronadam5435]

Can you do a challenge were you buy a mystery tackle box , by the by the catch co. At Walmart? It looks like it might be some fun using new or weird stuff.

[@Meditation409]

That spillway looked really promising for some real spillway monsters!! ❤

[@joem.392]

Great videos, very entertaining!!! Wish they were longer videos

[@robertmceuen3630]

Last year I was known as the turtle king. Seemed like I was catching more turtles than fish for awhile. This year I havn't caught even one. Great video Nick. Thanks.

[@mbentley6]

Just gonna say this. If you and @TyPigPatrol were to collab, It'd be an awesome vid. You both are top notch anglers and have so much enthusiasm for the sport!

[@lindaburt6518]

We haven't seen the turtle-cam recently and that's always nice to see. Good session, Nick! Thank you.

[@riverratfishing]

Great video Nick. Those Gar were nice

[@JordanEnr]

Always enjoy your videos, editing, and the obvious love for what you do. Maybe include more of your catches though! It always seems like you only catch 3 fish the whole day lol

[@shawnt9256]

Keep delivering such quality work and you're certainly going to continue to grow👍

[@WAFishing391]

U should use red vines as bait! Great vid btw love ur content! Keep it up!😊

[@caniaccharlie]

That surprise catch got me with the the big fish music!

[@-dystopic-]

Could you do a video on all the gear you use? I think it would be super interesting!

[@jaredbroider]

You know he's about to land the big fish/turtle when "that" song comes on. Doot doot doot doot. Love the vid mate

[@kennycook359]

Hey bro love the videos! Been with you a long time now. Try to get the length a little longer if possible and it would make us all a little happier! God bless take care. Also love the song list and put out a full song video if you find the time!

[@josephhrnciar9376]

That is a really cool spot with quite a few fish in it!!

[@warehouseman6325]

Awesome day of fishing 🎣

[@Maximum-One7]

Lots of fun! Enjoyable fishing day!!

[@scottplank1012]

So the real question is did you end up with poison ivy?

[@WAFishing391]

Haha😮facts😊

[@tyharland1906]

For the first time in my 36 years I got the itchin ivy so bad I couldn't stand it. I used to be able to eat an ivy salad and be fine, but things change. I went and got a shot in the buttcheek and 3 days later I was comfortable again. It works, now you know.

[@502austin8]

I just had it over my legs, hands, arms & chest. Just little patches everywhere. Took me 2 weeks to clear it up. Sucks because I have a 2 month old baby I couldn't pick up and help with 😢

[@618Fishing]

Luckily I did not!

[@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111]

Just like any auto immune response. Once your body has encountered enough, it lets you know it. 😅

[@willmallory9085]

Excellent video Brother

[@jasonbrady3461]

Great video nick!!

[@MurphRocks86]

Man, you find some of the most beautiful places to fish!

[@thebasslayer]

POV the turtle looking at your bait. This is a bait of 618fishing and it would nice if you bite for some content and all the other turtles will see you on his channel and praise you

[@chadcook3709]

Id love to see another catch clean cook 😊

[@johnhine8725]

TURTLE CAM! Haven't commented in awhile, thanks as always!

[@jangertenbach8922]

Would like if you could focus more on catching some more carp. Here in south africa its the most commonly known fish to catch

[@balagos4908]

Love your content and passion.

[@befjefloor]

Your nickname is "The Happy Fisherman". Just because you seem always happy and content.

[@joshwagner8468]

Awesome video as always nick. Let's go 👊 love your channel and I never miss a video

[@bigbear1499]

That place looked badass!!!!

[@glenncollins4778]

Beautiful spot Nick

[@reesejames9757]

Awesome spot !!!! Good day !!!!

[@taddmason1187]

I want you to use "Swedish Fish" as bait

[@RobertBenthal]

Used gummy worms, worked

[@PC_outdoors]

Yes

[@seraphistic]

when I was little I was using one of the little kid Pixar rods with the rubber fish as a lure. It had no hooks and was meant as practice. A 8 pound bass hit it and jumped out of the water. So, I guess "swedish fish" works well.

[@skraagthedestroyer]

Yeah man, great session! Just got back from a 24hr session myself here in the UK; I caught a couple of Bream during the night, then had a young Pike, a small carp and I foul-hooked a perch! 😆 😁

[@YayyO-YT]

Man I wish we had those types of spillway here in California

[@Joseph-vw2sw]

Wear long sleeve shirts while moving through them thickets nick. Sure will help with the poison ivy but another awesome video and enjoyed it as always so keep um coming ty and God bless

[@mrmilo1971]

Enjoyed the content 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@changry1095]

😂 rocks be making Nick look like he had a little to much JD 😂

[@ronjlwhite8058]

What a great day fishing!!!

[@rickyjessome4359]

Great video as always Nick! Cheers

[@GAbassmaster]

Great video I like that spillway

[@drcrap118]

That spot looks magical!

[@camdenhobbs7231]

Your my fav freshwater fisherman yt

[@janiceparker4530]

I loved the turtle cam

[@MegaYangman]

Another awesome adventure! Very productive little hide away spot!

[@TheSimong69]

ty for another great vlog.. what a days fishing great to see

[@albertpeterson7134]

618 Fishing. Nick I always enjoy these fishing spots. I would like to see you fish there again. Thank's for the videos keep them coming

[@Bassmaster1256]

Nice video. looks like you need some line on a couple of reels. lol

[@dogleg]

The return of The Turtle Cam! Thanks for the vid, Nick!

[@thomasschlemmer607]

Love the channel!!!

[@WildLife_Perspective]

Man your spots are epic! Nice catch on the softshell! I cant catch one for the life of me 😂

[@johnmullen2990]

I love your videos. Do you wash off when you get to the water it can help prevent poison Ivey?

[@davidcua996]

As usual very entertaining and cool video! I did not see the soft shell turtle coming ! 😂

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks

[@jebbbig]

Great adventure

[@KORR805]

I just want to point out that flawless cast net throw you did 🤙

[@jaywoodson2231]

soft shell turtle is a delicacy.

[@samajier2566]

Good job

[@richardwarfield7386]

Giant snapping turtles = slow swimming cinder blocks for me

[@daerth4423]

Great episode as always but I don't recommend handling a softshell like that. You're lucky it was a timid one.

[@torancematthews5563]

I like that you fish like us

[@carminepetracca7518]

nice jumping gar.

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

The trick with poison ivy.......try not to break the plant when walking thru it. Then don't take the same path when going back. The risk of having sap on you are far less.
