I love your channel most because you don't talk for 20 minutes, it's just straight to the fish. And the music bro! Great content 👌

[@Blizixed]

Is it just me or does anybody else feel like this?? when they watch Nick catch a fish close to his PB an the genuine happiness an excitement you see him have in that very moment. Puts a huge smile on your face because you just love seeing him have fun. An love his content so much.. Btw Nick keep up the amazing work you do on these videos. I'll always keep coming back as long as you are putting out content. And there isn't anything I would want you to do better in these videos because you are just spot on 💯💯🔥cheers man.

[@lilianfowler7988]

Thank you, Nick, for showing the River views. I think that was what my Dad was trying to show me the last time he took me fishing. Good memory.

[@thegreatunknown7749]

I'm a young saltwater fisherman but I still love watching your videos,it makes my day Congrats on the MASSIVE BOWFIN by the way!🎉

[@davethompson5899]

@Nick, brother I have to tell you that, out of all of the fishing channels on KZbin, I don't think there is even one that can top you in your production! I absolutely love your music, ESPECIALLY the dobro music when you have it, and your slow motion video of your rods is even incredible! Keep up the good work! I just subscribed and hit the notification bell because I don't want to miss one episode!

[@stevesokolowski9556]

I have been following you for over 2 years. When I broke my ankle and had major surgery a year and a half ago your videos kept me going through the winter here in Canada 🇨🇦 I've learned alot from you. Keep up the amazing work you do

[@johnpaul-zq2wi]

Nick your the man, the quality of the video, and the music selection ....from a-z you hit home runs on this one....huge fan of 618 fishing!👍👍

[@EngineeringHooksets]

That sight-fished big one was sick man!

[@johnhine8725]

Sporting that lucky shirt buddy! That place was hot. God bless you Nick.

[@robertflint4115]

"Buddy or Bait", will the stress and carnage ever end for these poor sunfish. Rock on Nick, the beard is almost full on Viking !!!

[@albertpeterson7134]

618 Fishing. Nick the Bowfin are a truly amazing fish. Thank's For The Videos Keep Them Coming

[@MegaYangman]

Now that's a successful day of fishing with a giant to boot!

[@edwinacosta9379]

Amazing catch, also amazing outdoor scenery,I love the suspense, the Adrenaline.theres nothing better than going fishing and being surprised by mother nature, it's Epic 🤟👍😄🤪🎣

[@mountaintoppreps]

Love the bloopers at the end. Everyone can absolutely relate!

[@georgemoskal2098]

Brilliant, filming, fishing, music. See you later buddy.

[@joelmcmahan7386]

This spill way has made some great videos BUDDY. thanks again for sharing your adventures, time and life with us all Good fishing and safe travels to the 618 fishing family and fans. 🐟🎥💯👍

[@FishingNOutdoorFun]

Wow super catch. I am from Texas and got my 1st bowfin this month. We all enjoyed bowfin fishing.

[@cuz129]

I love how excited Nick gets on bowfin. Those hit our bass baits all the time, my biggest was 14 lbs but I hooked one bigger than that that tore me up and got away.

[@618Fishing]

Dang that’s wild man!

[@dallaswood4117]

We don’t have them in Utah id be thrilled to get one

[@denigong9708]

Yeah there a few good size ones in my favorite pond. Pb bowfin is 8 lb and some oz. They fight soo different from bass.. Lots of head shaking

[@ElwoodGaming]

Nick, I've never seen a bowfin till following your channel! I live in northeast Ohio and am familiar with Walleye and Musky for the most part. Next time your out and catch another bowfin can you show the teeth on camera for those that aren't familiar with these bad boys?

[@waltershumate5777]

We don't have bow fin where I'm at.. Are they any good to eat, or just fun to catch?

[@D1knbaus22]

Damn Nick nice work! You can tell you put a lot of hard work and effort into your video editing. Happy fishing bro 🎣🤙🏼

[@Iv852002s]

Dope Videography,Soundtracks, it's a WHOLE experience, been watching and living through your trips for a while now, thx Bro! 🤟🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥💯🌍🌏🪐🌌☄️🏌🏾‍♂️ 🎣

[@socalbass758]

Waiting six days a week for a minimum ten minute video for awesome fishing and great music. Looking forward to next Thursday!!!

[@Tomasco13]

I always love seeing you nail these bowfin. They're such hard fighters and no two ever seem to look the same.

[@shehouavang2663]

I haven’t seen your channel in months you grew so much man good job 👍

[@cuz129]

Hey Nick. It wound be fun to hear you describe your choice of rods, reels, types of line and what pound test you use on your different rigs.

[@RichM0410]

Great video! Thank you. The QUALITY of video and pics is excellent! Really adds to a great KZbin channel.

[@pierce607]

Great video! Thank you. Lots of nice bowfin in there. My boys and I always appreciate the art of your video making. And the outtakes at the end. Thanks again Nick!

[@robmangeri777]

The king of the bowfin strikes again!!! That looked like a fun day Nick! 😎👍🏼

[@MrChina200]

Fishing is a bonus and a giant Bowfin is the icing on the cake Nick.😉

[@pelonlopez5207]

Nice fish and Congrats.

[@keithbutala4401]

Great fish!

[@jakegunderson6677]

Your videos are excellent. I love watching them. The edits are so good and the close ups with music choice make for a very pleasing experience. That’s when I noticed at 3:45, there’s a chip in the ceramic insert on the outside of the eyelet. Keep an eye on it looks super sharp. It would be sad to lose one like that. Keep up the good work Nick!! 👍🏻

[@abimaellimon]

Very keen eye, I would of never caught that.

[@Lilith-Rose]

3:44 when your braid starts to get hairy like that it's time to change it out or cut back to past the damage before it gets too frayed and you end up losing a fish. Might also be worth checking your line guides and the bale arm roller for damage. I like using braid for anything over 15-20lbs for the diameter advantage (anything less then I tend to use a match grade mono or flouro for the clarity and the more forgiving stretch if your drag isn't set right) but the big drawback is the wear resistance

[@jacobdbrown1]

Great video. Been tuning in for over a year now. You've got some great content

[@618Fishing]

Thank you!

[@lindaburt6518]

That was epic, Nick. Thank you so much.

[@michaelwruk7188]

I watch this frequently and it's awesome! It should be a television show! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@turbo4725]

Love your videos my boy. Keep doing your thanggggg😎

[@honestspirit56]

Nice Fish ! Wow ! And seeing your video for the first time, I’d like to thank you for showing such profound respect to these beautiful creatures. Many would not care, but you are a sportsman and not just a fisherman.

[@crappieslayer89]

Awesome video as always 💪 that was a nice bowfin

[@kevinblakemore6445]

I really love the video. Love the production & music & of course the fishing! Like we’re along with you hanging out. Awesome

[@americanhostage32]

I love ya man! You’re so genuine and humble to boot!

[@ppplll1122]

Nice work sight fishing, catching, and landing that ‘fin. You’ve redeemed yourself for all the ones that got away! 🙂

[@kennyman9065]

Amazing video Nick! So exciting when you can spot a fish and cast to it!! 🎣🎣🎣 can’t wait for the next one

[@Meditation409]

Wow!! That was really awesome. Total excitement

[@millwright15]

[@indianriverhauntings2341]

The Bowfin King returns. We called them “Dogfish” where I grew up in Northern Ohio. Love these videos! Thank you!!!

[@karenstubbs94]

I love fishing in the rain it seems to turn the fish on!

[@FlyFishDan]

I need to try this with a fly rod - great video as always! Some cool species - don't have those in the PNW!

[@mariosanchez8962]

Damn Nick.. You killed it.. What a great day.. Thanks for taking me a long.. 👍

[@Crispynuggets28]

Nick do you ever fish any of the large lakes that feed the spillways? May be some monsters in the larger water bodies.

[@danielmorskijr411]

There are. But that's where everyone else fishes. I know every spot he hits, fished many of them.

[@gtingaming716]

You are the King of the Spillway my man!!!!!

[@timgendron4211]

The quality of your videos is second to none.

[@Powerpro78k]

Great catch! I went out and caught only dinks, glad you posted to give me some extra motavation. Tight lines 🎣 and keep up the great videos!

[@Spoonyforky]

My Thursday is complete. You’re the GOAT Nick! Keep em coming!

[@robeast692]

[@bobbysoza3798]

[@strickoau]

Thankyou for my weekly ten minutes of wholesome, as my mate calls it

[@bisayangtagalog8519]

Wow monster fish very nice content dear. I love fishing thumbs up

[@otishohimer9146]

WOW NICK Best day you've had in a bit. That's why You will always be THE MAN!!!

[@thelostiowan]

We so love your video of these great catches. I would love my iPad to have your tunes in it for fishing as well. Any chance you can post titles to match the artists as well? One other question, how often do you encounter snakes? Any poisonous ones?? Happy fishing my friend 👍😎🤙

[@618Fishing]

Thanks for watching! Some spots they seem to be everywhere, but I have yet to positively ID a poisonous one!

[@bigtaliberto3092]

I live for those "real" moments. Like the moment at the very end, "I just yeeted my rod holder." I laughed till I cried. I have had that exact moment. HAHAHA (turns out I was standing on it.)

[@Caliboy-yl6vo]

What an awesome fish!! I love when I hear that music something good is coming haha 👍🏼👍🏼

[@glennmurphy2686]

Nice catch Nick, great day of fishing 🎣

[@Meditation409]

And then along came another Nick adventure!! 💥💥💥👊❤❤❤❤

[@ThatOneDropout]

Your videos are great man! I find myself binge watching your vids a lot😂🎣

[@ripwolfgaming2895]

I don't know why but when nick post a video you just feel good. Like it doesn't matter how bad your day was before when you see he posted you just feel better

[@paulwolfe3709]

Here on the Mississippi river, we call the Bowfin a "dogfish", the "freshwater drum" are sheepshead, and a gar is simply a pain! I like the trick photography where he sticks a smallish fish right up to the camera, so it looks gigantic! I have done the same with a gray squirrel, so it looked like it was the size of a bear! Lol!

[@rkirschner7175]

Great edit and production values. I recommend your channel often.

[@KeithDocReed]

Always enjoy seeing 618 has posted

[@michaelamos4224]

Awesome video Nick. It never fails it doesn't matter what I'm watching on KZbin as soon as I get a notification that you posted a video I stop what I'm watching and I click right over to your video. You rock bro

[@618Fishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@anglergembleng6342]

good fishing spot atmosphere and the fish pull is amazing

[@tthiele02]

Got my heart racing with that one. Nice!!

[@Phili89pp]

I wish we would had such spillways in Austria

[@gelliohumberto5858]

Looks like Nick has been hittin’ the gym!!👍💪🏽

[@banpynbiangriang3648]

Nick you're great man keep on the good work hope I get a chance to fish with you 😁 that my dreams for now 😁

[@xSamWaynex]

Funny bowfin story.... I was fishing once and caught a pretty small bluegill. As I was reeling it in, BOOM, birds nest from hell. A few seconds after fixing the birds nest my line went very tight, and my drag started screaming. I finally get the fish to shore and it's a very nice sized Bowfin. Not very long, but quite chunky. 28" 13.21 lbs. The bluegill had gotten lodged against the side, and was the only reason I was able to catch the fish. I pulled the Bluegill out of the Bowfin's mouth, and surprisingly the Bluegill was actually still alive haha. Took the Bluegill home and put it in my freshwater tank filled with native fish, and it lived there for almost 2 years after that Bowfin encounter.

[@notnekfishing954]

I don't know how someone can watch one of your videos and not subscribe!! Great job again dude!!

[@markbecker8661]

Love the catches and your editing and especially the music.
