So, I think the coolest part of this whole experience may not be just the fish catch itself but that notch on your net. Now every time you pick up that net you get to remember one of the most unique experiences any angler has had. Congrats man, I genuinely am happy for you.

[@alexisdavidson5797]

That was amazing! The gravel bottom, clear water, spring fed creeks in Missouri are the best! And that big Trout was GORGEOUS! I love every video you make and this has by far got to be one of my new favorites!

[@Miss-Yuxin]

Yes, I also like ...

[@noahthecookinguy3568]

I wish I had good trout fishing

[@cryptidon]

Great channel, great content, and as others have pointed out, just some gorgeous footage. That little creek was like crystal. I've watched you lose enough fish that I start clenching my teeth, making fists, and shifting in my chair. Thanks for taking me fishing. Watching someone being joyful about what they are doing is infectious.

[@Miss-Yuxin]

That is really amazing channel

[@bretwitkowski142]

The hype from 3:30 to 3:50 is an exact example of me talking to my friends while we’re fishing ☺️ love it when you upload

[@madison.outdoors6559]

Those trout are beautiful and you're video quality, music, cutscenes and overlay were a slam dunk. Idk how far you had to drive over the river to get to that creek but it was worth it. You drive past my hometown everytime u do as well.

[@FishingBiodiversity]

A new creek video…YES💙 I’m also hoping for a new ‘big lure challenge’ series!

[@lukehurstfishing]

Totally need to do a "Big lure series" again!

[@nathancottrill1363]

Loved the video man. Nothing like winter fishing. It’s often my favorite time of year to fish. In Colorado where I live there are flowing rivers that never freeze over. The Trout fishing is amazing all year long. I used to use Rapala Count Down jerk baits like the one you used in the video before going all in on fly fishing. A word of advice that will help you loose less lures, and allow easy release of those rare beauties. Barbless hooks. Take the barbs off this hooks with pliers or replace them completely. Easy release, and less snags. 💯

[@danielflynn7857]

Couldn't agree more! Especially when targeting such rare and beautiful fish

[@TheBorderRyker]

Beautiful fish! My most exciting catch was a little Scottish brown trout in the river that ran past my village. I have caught many larger fish over the years, but that first brown trout will stay with me forever. I released him quickly to avoid stress to the fish and I was the happiest guy on the planet. Your video reminded me of that perfect day. Thank you so much for that. Best wishes from Scotland 🙏🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@rsmileybetcher4098]

Good job on the trout Nick. I'm originally from central Montana and know some places where you can find some of them 19 inch bows. I grew up on trout fishing with a willow pole in Montana. Mom would take to he creek and cut us some willows and tie some leader on the end. We flipped cow pie's to find worms or we caught grasshoppers for bait, and we always brought a mess of fish home. I live in western Oregon now right on the Santiam River. Not to many trout left in there due to getting eaten by the Steelhead. Pretty much just like fishing little creeks with a small rod now and don't fish the river much. Tell us more about the fish you are catching. Give us a "schoolen" so to speak... "Fish on" bro, you will go far pilgrim...

[@brianpeace7585]

Dang I wasn't doing too bad with the cold winters and frozen rivers and lakes where I live until now! Here's hoping for an early spring! I'm dying to wet a line! Thanks for taking us along!

[@FRGGuideservice]

Man I love those creeks in the ozarks, such a beautiful and calming place, glad you enjoyed that adventure!

[@davidm6256]

Again you hit it out of the park with this video, watching you catch that trout and anticipating what kind it was, was mind blowing,I'm always telling anyone who fishes about your videos on KZbin, again great job Nick

[@618Fishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@catchandreleasefisbingnsw]

Our pleasure nic

[@mustafidahmad1376]

are you using monofilament or fluorocarbon, Nick? again, congratulation for the new record 🤩🤘🏾

[@NobleKorhedron]

@@mustafidahmad1376: I'd recommend flouro, it's more sensitive...

[@mustafidahmad1376]

@@NobleKorhedron thanks sir... usually, i use braided line with fluorocarbon leader for ultralight casting 🤩🤘🏾but now, i think i'm getting lazy for the FG knot 🤣

[@nathanaelcoffman2859]

Fished that stream many times! Can confirm that that is an absolute magnum trout from that creek.

[@Bastizilla]

Gorgeous trout 😍

[@steveunderhill5935]

See you later buddy

[@mkanyuh]

A close up slow mo of a release of a creek chub...now that's some dedication...subscribed.

[@guadalupegonzalez5915]

I'm considering this my actual birthday gift. Hoping the fishing trip I planned this weekend for my birthday can happen, but if not I'm living vicariously through this video.

[@618Fishing]

Happy birthday and good luck if you make it out this weekend!

[@Komod0Dragon]

Rainbow trout are astonishingly difficult to catch, especially with fly fishing. You got TWO of the good ones! Excellent!!

[@andrewoakley4957]

Nice fishing there nick, I have to say I'm always surprised at how low you have the rod tip and short line when trying to net them. Also, I was taught to have the net in the water ready to avoid splashing it into the water right in front of the fish, a great way to spook them I was told. I know you catch plenty so it works for you, but I,m always holding my breath! 🙈

[@DM-rock-n-roller]

Respects for your endless enthusiasm and commendable sportsmanship, and true inspiration from your examples set for fisherpersons everywhere to show that every fish is a trophy if we adopt that mindset. Fish on, sir!

[@kamurashev]

I must say that underwater footage was just beautiful! Hope to see more of such. And thank you for the great content!

[@danielrittenhouse1321]

I get so excited on Thursday's when I know your going to be post a new video. It definitely makes the long days in between worth it. Thanks again for the awesome fishing adventures.

[@davidanderson7802]

Dang, 19 inch bow is amazing for that creek and any of those type of streams, (wont say which kind to keep it more secretive) congrats Nick I work at the place you caught your first brown so I hope you visit again so I talk to you about Missouri trout fishing and show you some of the flies that work for me here As always love the content Nick

[@brentwentfishing]

What a great catch for that little creek! Amazing! 😀

[@nbuha56]

Beautiful rainbow trout, and that scratch mark on the net to remember it with. Awesome adventure!

[@Raeilgunne]

that net would be mounted on the wall with a picture of the trout inside the webbing in my house. absolutely beautiful fish, and those wild trout are trophies no matter the size with how skittish they are.

[@toddscott9143]

Hey Nick - I always appreciate your videos; both content and production. I love how you integrate the actual experience and your personal reaction with the quality of video/audio. Without giving away your spots, as a fisherman myself, I would love to see just a brief overhead look of at least the stretch of river or rough overview of the lake/pond you are fishing - especially if they are public water. Maybe something like a Google Earth view or even just a topographic digital map. Nerds like me enjoy understanding the lay of the land where fish are found. Thanks again - CHEERS!

[@dougfuqua7868]

DUDE ! That was so much fun watching you catch those trophies. Well done

[@BrowncoatBlue]

Congrats! Few fish hit like rainbows! Such a great species. Great video 😊

[@FishingWithJamie88]

Great catch nick I know how good it feels to catch a fish like that, I went out a few weeks ago with a mate of mine who is also a KZbinr and he took me to a nice little river called the Itchen over here in England and I managed a 2lb wild brown trout and inwas buzzing for weeks 😀, love all ur videos mate been a follower for years now an will continue to well done buddy keep up the superb work 👍 🤘🎣🎣🎣😎

[@christieleonard4359]

Looks as if I'll be taking a small road trip west. Would love to catch trout! Won't be as gorgeous as the heifer you landed though! What a fantastic fishing trip for you!

[@fishinrockford3726]

Excellent fish and excellent work as always. I've been following you for years now and you are my favorite. I mention your channel any chance I get. Hands down the best videos.

[@davesnothereman7562]

Your effort behooves you. You will never want if you stay this course.

[@calvinhoward2407]

He is a pleasure to watch

[@22gonefishing]

Now that was an awesome Trout, Congratulations. I know you've been to that spot before. I was like, it can't be over yet, you just got started fishing. Just shows what excellent editing skills you have, 9:00 minutes were gone by in a flash.

[@bobgomavitz1330]

Stunner! Interesting that such a rare fish in those waters that treble hooks are allowed bards also. Great vid

[@fishingadventuresinjapan2324]

Beautiful Rainbows! Congrats on all your catches! Your videos are second to none! Keep it up Nick!

[@clminnieweather5728]

I was on pins and needles while you landed the largest fish. Their colors were spectacular! Congrats Nick.

[@mattho6015]

Congrats! Positive energy, always like you have Nessie at the end of the line. I enjoy the videos, please keep em coming!

[@davidwade3027]

I always love watching your fishing adventures!! Amazing camera work and music. Your intros while you're driving are fun, too! Excellent content!

[@mattkent1570]

Your videos are so beautifully done each one is a like a short story your dedication is phenomenal.

[@robertfoote3255]

Your strategy was perfect....staying low, casting into the flow from the culvert and washing the lure into the hole.....😃 That strike king lure resembled a fat creek chub....👍 19" was a outstanding size for that stream. The perfect day! 😎😎😎😎😎!!!!!

[@drumbassandbass]

Thank you Nick for your effort in producing these videos. I know i'm not alone when I say that they bring me a ton of joy! Great content as always!

[@doughaning8982]

I never thought you'd be fishing in a stream I've fished. You did way better than I did fishing there. The stream and the fish are true treasures in my area. Thanks for showing everyone these gems. Fish on!!

[@briangoldthorpe2892]

Nick - awesome! Love this small creek fishing, well done. Made my week.

[@618Fishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@TrollinOntheRVA]

I LOVE how he's excited no Matter the Size, Species or Variety of Fish lol

[@gs6810]

Any time you catch a new species, that fish is your new personal best for that species! That little fish was his PB Mc.Cloud strain trout.

[@bradrtorgersen_videos]

Nice to see you going after some lovely wild trout, versus the usual spillway hawgs. Great video!

[@detroitdiy]

What a great video Nick, I think everyone will know that was a great day of fishing just by the excitement you have expelled into us. I have said this before and I have to say it again, your editing and filming skills are second to none. Your videos are better than anything on T.V , keep up the great work and congratulations on the new personal best. I watched the video last time you were there and I also agree that is a beautiful fish. See you later buddy!

[@618Fishing]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!

[@Curry_Prodz18]

Congrats on the catch it’s a awesome fish nick love these videos

[@Lilith-Rose]

Good to see its not just me that still slams the lure straight down into the water occasionally.. broken the tails off a couple of lures with semi soft fins that way when it's really cold and they start getting brittle, especially bad when you're giving it full whack for distance casting a heavy glider

[@tombombadil6591]

Freezing my butt off! Worth it for top 3 commnts! Keep it up NICK!

[@shauncilli3912]

Nice Nick! That's a huge native trout no matter where you're fishing. I remember that spot from an earlier video you did i think using micro lures. Very cool! 👍

[@arleyjarman3401]

This is one of my favorite videos this year. I do a lot of trout fishing. Those were beautiful rainbows. I like the intro music as well.

[@StillWild]

Hey nick!! Great vid!! I've always wanted to go fishing for those fish but it can be hard living in Texas. I mainly fish for bass and catfish and also make vids so watching you is so inspiring! Thanks for being my favorite youtuber!!!

[@scottguzik9703]

This is my favorite 618 Fishing video. Trout are beautiful fish and difficult to catch and land. Amazing video!

[@BIGDADDY012341]

BOOM !!!! Got my 618 fix !!! Thanks Nick !!

[@jerrymarski5922]

Nick deserves 10X the number of subs. He has an amazing attitude.

[@bryangirod6457]

I have watched fishing videos from 5 or 6 content creators and I have to say Nick, your cinematography and editing skills are absolutely the best! Phenomenal job with little the travel shots and atmospheric shots between catches. The occasional overhead drone footage is great as well. Mix in your backing music and all I can say is kudos my friend! And your enthusiasm- even in the worst of conditions (or when the fish aren't biting) is contagious. I'm a third rate fisherman who just started dabbling again after a 35 yr hiatus and I watch your videos and just cannot wait til I can hit the water again. Well done, Sir. Well done indeed!

[@ImActuallyJustJared]

oh i can’t wait to see what he catches 😭 we love you nick!

[@rfire731]

Awesome! I love trout fishing. In my opinion, it's a great tasting game fish! Nice job Nick! 🎣

[@jeffbrummette6357]

Wow,just wow!! I’ve never seen wild fish that big. Their usually around 8-10 inches long? Right? Anyway your the best brother! Keep catching an I keep watching! Well even if you don’t catch anything I keep watching!😂

[@thebiggianthead8364]

Dude, you need to come to Idaho. I've caught fish much bigger than that in creeks and irrigation ditches you can hop over. Don't be surprised by big fish in small waters. That said, it might be great for Missouri, glad you had fun. I currently work at a golf course with a private pond where most fish I catch are over 14 inches, and in the past two months we've had two 7 pounders and a 9.5 pounder come out of our lake. I caught a 5 pounder on the 18th tee box which overlooks the Snake River. Went out there yesterday and two sturgeon about 3 feet long were right below me.

[@robertflint4115]

Congrats Nick "The Beard" on a beautiful rainbow. Love your videos and rock on man.

[@blakelee5851]

Absolutely awesome Rainbow Trout catch

[@Darthbetel]

Just starting watching your channel. From Illinois live in Las Vegas now. Miss home so much. Thanks for the memories and smiles. Be safe

[@brandonlapine5174]

Yet another awesome video man. You're my #1 favorite fishing channel, keep up the great work!

[@shawneldridge4465]

I enjoy these type of videos more than anything, especially when you're using these small fishing tackle lures and jigs. The best videos of all

[@jlmize1507]

Congratulations on a great PB! Hell I was as excited as you were. Thanx for taking me with you. I'm in Indianapolis, IN, and there is 8" of snow. Love the channel. Tight Lines Forever! (TLF)

[@evans1982]

You know what actually works pretty well at times? Get about 2 feet of tippet and tie on a fly and drop it behind a spinner. Sometimes trout are attracted to spinners but don’t quite commit. That’s where the dropper fly comes into place. Trout get attracted to the spinner but aren’t quite aggressive enough to strike, but then they see the fly behind it and take it. You should try it man!

[@618Fishing]

That’s an interesting idea!

[@yakinupfish632]

I'm over here yelling "Nick! Get him in the net! Hurry up!" Beautiful fish, bud. Great job

[@changingground]

Really nice fish! That must have felt great, despite living in the land of pro fishing. Nice work!

[@TrophyFish]

Love your B roll shots. Very cinematic. I don't know how you do it. I get so wrapped up in the fishing I don't take the time for "the shot". Well done sir

[@kswenson314]

Nice fish, next time you come over to Missouri please smash the barbs..especially on a Blue Ribbon stream 🤨

[@Jay7.62]

I think it's really cool! To have someone like 618 fishing doing these inspiring videos in the area I live in. Keep up the great work you will be at a million subscribers soon!

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Thanks BUDDY, great trout fishing day you had there. I am lucky to live in a place where I can catch pretty good trout. Thumbs up and good fishing to the 618 Fishing family. 🎣🎥🥇🥇👍💯

[@lucyjane2481]

Beautiful creek, beautiful fish.... beautiful day!!

[@MrJaxnbeFishing]

Man I can’t wait to fish creeks this April up here in Syracuse, NY. Thanx for posting this🙏🏾

[@mikepriorii7839]

Enjoyed the video Nick! The trout are a lot more popular here in VA but I've never caught one. This video gave me some inspiration to catch a trout. Fish on brother!

[@timredenbaugh9892]

Sooooo happy for you Nick, great job and video!!!!!!!

[@donrevelle]

I want to take my son fishing with you . We think highly of you. Thank you for all the content you upload here. Mad luv from the deep freeze in ny .

[@itsme-qm4pl]

Love the " see you later,buddy" parts. Beautiful video

[@TheK01234]

Trout are by far my favorite fish to go for. I love creek fishing. If you ever get the chance you should absolutely head to the Catskills for incredible trout fishing.

[@chuckjenkins4348]

Nick! Yes definitely the largest two Trout i've ever seen you catch out of that spot!! well done....

[@sprocket374]

This was awesome... So refreshing compared to the spillways. Thanks for this... Good stuff.

[@familyoutdoors5802]

Always nice seeing someone representing the 618 in a good way vs. what is usually seen lol

[@loganRak]

So excited to see this video, love it when you feature a specific lure!

[@dalehuston7374]

Great fishing adventure!!!

[@alexanderthurman214]

Hard working Nick does it again! 3 wild Rainbow Trout, l use to go to a Rainbow Trout fishery where they raise Trout to stock Southern California lakes & creeks during the winter months. I was told to wear rubber surgery gloves, because if you handle them you can possibly give these fish some type of human bacteria infection that could harm or cause their death. God bless Alex

[@catchandreleasefisbingnsw]

Trout fishing is the best great vid 👍

[@yasuke9317]

I love the fact that cars were driving over that spill as you set the hook on the last one. Just weird. Fishing is usually peaceful without that distraction and you pulled one out. Cool

[@GPgundude]

Great video and beautiful fish!! Thanks for Sharing!!!

[@sethsanderson9699]
