The fact that he fishes realistically not some wannabe pro bass fisherman. That hes a multi species fisherman that is so intriguing

[@carsontice4460]

[@DrKraig]

This guy is an incredibly skilled fisherman. Multiple lines out, filming, doesn't count it unless he nets it, realizes when he should move or switch lures, it goes on. Amazing.

I am recovering from a knee replacement and am facing 2 more joint replacement surgeries this year. Watching this guy has brought me a great deal of rest, peace, comfort and in touch with nature. It is a large part of my healing. Thank you. I only remember fishing once with my Dear Dad over 50 years ago at Lake Travis in Texas. I caught a perch but was totally grossed out by the whole worm torture. Today, it wouldn't bother me. Thank you for your work.

Great video! The new species you caught was a goldeye, there's a almost identical species called a mooneye. The front of the dorsal fin on goldeye's are set back from the front of there anal fin and mooneye's dorsal fin is even with or ahead of the anal fin, and goldeye most of the time have a gold color to there eye. Oh and they are great cutbait.

Way to go Nick. That was a good day of getting your lines wet. Finding your channel and watching your vids inspired me to gather some gear and get my license. I had not been fishing in years since my ex wife stole everything I owned. In a matter of three days I gathered 5 fishing poles and scored a loaded tackle box for $40 dollars. I immediately went and got my fishing license and now I'm getting lines wet at least once a week. Thank you for doing what you do and inspiring me to load up the Jeep and get back out there.

Nice work! You quickly became one of my favorite KZbinrs. I see that you use circle hooks to catch your fish, do they really work like they should? Thanks, good luck!

[@noahreineke9569]

Yes, they work great! Just remember not to yank to set the hook. Just reel down slowly and let the tension in the line and scare the fish into swimming away. Then it’ll set the hook for you. Usually in the corner of the mouth.
