I Instantly Regretted This Decision...

[@millwright15]

Heck, I wouldn’t have regretted any of this! The worst day of fishing is better than the best day at work!!!

[@legohead530]

Hi Dad :) see you beat me to the comment section. Can’t wait to go fishing soon! Looks like warm weather will be here in a few weeks!

@@williamkandiko7643 I’m doing the job I’ve dreamed of doing since I was a kid! I could definitely work less hours but still, nothing beats a day off of work fishing no matter how good of a job you have!

[@jerrygoldsmith1734]

Another typical adventure. From the small fish only to dropping the camera to cold watering the boot, I am thinking, he could be filming me. Enjoy your videos very much. Keep on fishing.

[@Spoonyforky]

Your commitment to obtain footage is admirable. Love your videos. Keep em coming Nick!

[@ianlamont825]

Your a beast Nick. So dedicated. A man who loves his fishing. Thanks for taking us along and allowing us to keep our feet dry and warm.

[@jasonthompson6809]

Always look forward to Thursday! I work swing shift, so I time my lunch break to when the video drops! Tight lines, Nick!!!

[@thanossavv_adventures]

Wonderful just in time...!Love your videos hope to see some fresh saltwater videos as the weather getting warmer.618 Fishing!👍🔥🔔

[@ImActuallyJustJared]

Days like these make you appreciate the days you pulled out multiple bowfin in the exact same spot. That’s why they call it fishing and not catchin!

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Another fishing adventure with clear footage and great editing. BUDDY you have become a social media public fan of the fishing community. Hopefully your channel continues to grow. Good fishing to the 618 Family and fans. 🐟🎥👍💯

[@stevesalvage1089]

Brilliant filming really enjoyed it nick !! Flipping cold I bet ! Thanks for sharing !

[@keithl2110]

Nick you might want to carry a jet boil, metal cup with lip cover. add hot coco or instant coffee/ tea and cup a noodle packets. It's a life saver when you get cold and wet, otherwise Flippin Awesome as always!

[@ratdaddy7774]

I'm impressed that you even posted this, just proves your a true sportsman, not all fish adventures are profitable, and epitomizes the saying "THIS IS WHY THEY CALL IT "FISHING" AND NOT FISH

[@Kenbur]

the number of times I have filled my boots because of too deep water is numerous. BUT the early spring ice-out times are the times I most regret it. the heart-stopping, chilling, cold of the water as it rushes over your boot, numbs your toes and feet and sloshes around until you can get the boot off is only relieved slightly by getting the water out of the boot. wet socks and feet no matter what time of year is something I do not like when wearing boots! good on ya for going to boot-filling lengths to bring us videos.

[@DOSHIELD]

618 is a die hard fisherman! Glad you at least caught some fish!

[@hershisadventuresincalifor9725]

Like how you caught the Beaver on video, slow motion at that! Yeah not the best of days but still like you said Nick the water maybe too cold. We're still getting that in California also. It's JUST now starting to warm up. Nice assorted species though! Enjoyed the video, nothing new there heh. If you ever try out Trout fishing wouldn't mind seeing that as well. Matters not we try to watch EVERY video you put out. Tight lines Nick. Ken & Lea

[@detroitdiy]

Great video Nick, everyone respects and enjoys your commitment to creating a great video for us, but at what cost. Those wet feet had to be miserable and to some degree dangerous, frost bite is nothing to mess with. I know this from experience, my hands will never be the same in the cold and when they do get cold it is painful. Take the measures necessary to stay dry and warm. Enough of that, I would like to see a 5 or 6 pound yellow base on the end of your line. See you later buddy!

[@legohead530]

The water has been too crazy where I am to go fishing! Hope it gets better soon so Dad can take me to one of our favorite spillways!

[@millwright15]

We’ll head to paint creek as soon as they quit letting so much water out!

[@darronsmith6059]

Always like your adventures. Like many things I have done. I did learn when crossing water that was over my boots, I will take my boots and socks off, roll my pant legs up. At least when I got to the other side my feet could be dry and warm again.

[@robertflint4115]

Nick man, they make camera protectors that are similar to a phone case. I've been watching you for over a year now (not in a creepy way, the youtube way :) investing in one might be worth it. Always remember: Even a bad day of fishing is better any day of work. Rock on man.

[@mountaintoppreps]

Keep up the great videos! Bought me some worms and am ready to go. Thanks Nick!

[@mathewcaldwell2945]

At least you can wade across your streams. I live in the Columbia River gorge, in hood river.,the Columbia is a mile wide and very deep, while most of the local rivers and creeks are from snow melt year round. But the salmon,steelhead and sturgeon along with walleyes are awesome. When you are fishing for bounty fish they pay you to catch since they eat baby salmon. All of a sudden a sturgeon grabs your worm and its game on. Talk about big fish on little pole excitement. Love seeing your fishing environment and how you present it. Thanks

[@AAAgator]

I completely forgot that you gotta go back and get your camera cuz I was so focused on how deep the water was gonna get, then I died laughing when you said “I am officially regretting leaving my camera”😂😂😂

[@skolinpurpleandgold3784]

Glad to see not snowing or raining in your video. Hope you are well.

[@danielrittenhouse1321]

Thanks for the great fishing adventure Nick. I know the gas prices are going to make thing's any easier. But please keep them coming buddy. And I'll keep watching every week.

It's 3/11 and the temp is well below zero with 20 mph wind. Wind chill is brutal. You got open water and are catching fish, kinda jealous. Another nice video.

Cold and wet -- what were you thinking ? Good thing you caught some fish. Warm and dry next time :)

Great videos. You should do a overnight fishing adventure

[@shawnt9256]

Awesome job,that sacrifice for the making of this video,is appreciated...

[@darkiee69]

Nick, bring a pair of sandals the next time. Then you can take your boots and socks off, wade over wearing the sandals keeping boots and socks dry until you're over and can change back.

[@thelostiowan]

Maybe you should invest in some foam protection for those cameras...it will pay for those $1,000 replacement visits. Or, maybe try SPIKE tripods which set nicely in any and all ground conditions. Keep up the great work :)

[@williammason9789]

It's got to where I only watch four KZbin channels: 618, FishinNStuff, Dieter Melhorn and Richard Gene. You are the only one who has to work (walk) to your spot and back to your vehicle. Keep doing what you do man.

[@donte366]

Great video nick!❤️ keep it up!😁😁

[@ryanparsons3057]

Pro tip: take your boots and socks off when crossing like that. That way you have dry, warm boots to put back on once your feet dry

[@JoshDunham88]

Fatal fall they're only dry until you put your wet feet into them

[@JoshDunham88]

Better idea invest in hip waders they cover 70% more of your body and only cost 25% more than boots

[@stevefaure415]

I'm curious, is this all public land you're fishing on? So much out here on the West Coast is inaccessible, behind gates and fences and No Trespassing signs--I can't imagine just finding a stream and following it down.

[@ialone7487]

You can do this in Texas. I've walked the Lampasas river and several lakes without stress or pay. Same in Indiana. There are private places, but there's plenty of other resources.

[@wottime6890]

[@handy-capoutdoors4063]

It is getting to be bass spawning season. And the water is probably to chilly yet for big fish to be active. At least you have open water. There is still ice on the river up here but not safe ice.. it's all that sketchy stuff that can be solid 3 ft one second and the next step is like the ice wasn't there.

[@michaelamos4224]

Hey Nick..... Not a 100% sure but I do believe that the yellow Bass are kin to the stripe Bass ( Rock Fish ) so if I had to say they are probably illegal to keep an use for bait. But hang in there bro warm weather is coming

I’d estimate about 40 on this day

Try throwing the big baits directly in those spillway tunnels see what happens lol

[@rrpostalagain]

I have never caught anything using yellow bass for bait. There is some snaggy structure where I could catch yellow bass all day long on a slow day. Occasionally I would gut hook one and use it for bait. Never ever had any luck. We don’t have many flathead. I imagine that would be the most likely.
