The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

[@prestonpayne9945]

I do this all the time when the river by my house floods.. I'll catch them in little pools like that then throw them back in the river.. If you ain't gonna eat it give it back to nature

[@__jessedean__2312]

Awesome video man. Nothing big or fancy. Just a love for fishing.

[@618Fishing]

+TeamJfish exactly! thanks for watching man!

[@adamhorbinski3138]

[@618Fishing]

+Todd STAHLI thats awesome it sounds like you live in a great place to fish! thanks for watching, Todd!

[@shawnakafawltytenor3544]

Love these videos, I grew up in central Illinois very close to the 618... used to fish places like Coffeen, Lake Glen Shoals, Shelbyville, etc.

[@victorent]

That place would be fun for small kids and get them started to fish😊 thanks for uploading this video

[@618Fishing]

+Victor Ceasar Umali It would definitely be a great first experience for kids to get them into the sport! Thanks for watching, Victor!

[@Lusira1111]

damn i really wish there were areas like this i could go just for fun during the summer, everything around me is polluted and dead, need to take an hour drive just to catch a few sunnies ):

[@kike210mex3]

Hera at San Antonio theres creks almost every 2 miles

[@DuhGame14]

+stampyfan800 you know what he meant ,completely out of topic , it's a video about creek fishing and he mistyped creek but put crek it's pretty obvious what he was trying to say

[@losrenovados9539]

Hunter D bro I live in the city

[@williamknicely744]

The type of fish in this video are Green Sunfish :) Didn't see anyone post that :p

[@ghvlogs5041]

cool

[@justicecountryman4060]

And blugills

[@Fine39XMEN]

Thanks! Just watched this video for the first time and was wondering what those were.

[@leshghett8956]

I love videos like this so much. I just find it so interesting as to how so many fish, and of such size, can maintain themselves in a such a small body of water.

[@618Fishing]

+Lesh Ghett I agree, it is very fascinating! thanks for watching Lesh :D

[@docholliday5439]

Boy oh boy, Matt you've come a long way! His OLD FART looks forward to each new video... 😁👍🎣🎣🎣

[@christreanor6637]

awesome video! all too often we see videos of little kids catching huge fish in commercial fisheries, this would big a great kinda place to start for a kid....out in the wild,what a great little adventure and fish they could hold without being terrified. well done and happy christmas :)

[@618Fishing]

+Chris Treanor I completely agree! Thanks for watching, Chris!

[@christreanor6637]

+618 Fishing We dont have those kind of fish here in England but if we did,id have them in my fish tank. they look awesome ! i dont know if you have a saying in the states, but over here we say "tight lines" ( wishing somebody good luck when they go fishing) so Tight Lines to you friend ☺

[@618Fishing]

they sure are some pretty fish and would look nice in a freshwater aquarium! That saying is also common here in the US! tight lines to you over in England, friend!

[@tbwildimages9993]

+Chris Treanor Very true!

[@BUDRS]

It's awesome how fish can be in tiny puddles like this and live and be healthy

[@znovosad555]

I can't believe there's actually fish in that little puddle. That's crazy!

[@tristonpeter7031]

ikr!!!

[@xroxfirebird2238]

ikr I wish I had dat

[@ozangler5642]

I've enjoyed watching your videos and seeing you catch fish in tiny places. Normally I fly fish for trout in my local small creeks but your videos have made me realize how much fun can be had fishing in unlikely spots. I'll search for the tiny size 18 hooks and small floats that I used to use sometimes when I was a keen English style coarse fisherman. The sliced up hotdogs for bait looks a great idea. Thanks for posting your videos, Cheers, Steve.

[@618Fishing]

Thanks for watching Steve and best of luck to you and your tiny creek fishing adventures!

[@top1scentral748]

OZAngler have you found where to buy size 18 hooks? I'm looking for small hooks aswell but not much luck

[@chasevanderbilt3861]

looks like some green sunfish and creek chub! cool!

[@618Fishing]

+GOLDxSWAGGER 15 of course I remember you! Thanks for following the channel and all the comments man!!

[@stJoker-wk9bt]

+618 Fishing Hi there mate, i really enjoy your videos. and i subbed. I'd like to know how to catch eels, because here where i live (portugal) me and my uncle we found a small river wich makes a small creek about (3 meters wide) and in that creek exist many many eels and they are good to eat , they are about 15 or 20 cm. and i cant find a good bait for them .Earthworm is good enough ?if so how can i catch them? with a small hook? If you could reply to this comment/answer I'd appreciate , anyway , keep doing videos . i really enjoy them, Cheers mate

[@618Fishing]

Hello St.Joker! Sounds like you found a pretty cool fishing spot. Unfortunately there are no eels near where I live so I'm probably not the best person to ask for advice on catching them. If I did happen to come across eels living in a small creek though I would definitely try using earthworms on a small hook with maybe a bobber. Around here if I am having a hard time getting fish to bit I always resort to using worms and it will usually work. Thanks for commenting/subscribing St. Joker and best of luck to you and your uncle!

[@stJoker-wk9bt]

618 Fishing Thanks mate, maybe next week i'll try to catch them . and then i'll let you know what happened. Cheers

[@robertfutrell1299]

+618 Fishing Where did u get that tiny rod and rill ?

[@618Fishing]

I got them from the Cabelas near me. Reel is the Quantum PT Smoke 10 and rod is the 4'6" St. Croixe Premiere UL. Thanks for watching Robert!

[@pamelaborgatti2189]

WOW YOU DESTROYED MY BRAIN HOW DO YOU FISH IN A PUDDLE!

[@kimandrew3095]

Over 1,500,000 views dude lol! Tiny fish,good money 😁

[@jessebeeghly3608]

if you catch 1,000 of them might have a meal lol

[@eliford3143]

that true

[@CoyoteRidge]

I've always loved fishing in a small creek. It's about having fun and seeing what species are around.

[@IsaacsNatureCorner]

That little minnow like fish you caught looked like a Creek Chub. They are so much fun to fish for, they will eat virtually anything you put in front of them

[@DrDemento456]

+Isaac's Fishing Corner Creek chubs make for great catfish bait too cut into chunks and throw them out for instant action. Pulled in 8 catfish within a few hours with then on circle hooks!

[@thomaslongo3735]

I got chubs to bite beare hook at my creek

[@brennanpederson7820]

awesome video! I can't believe that there are fish in that tiny puddle! Keep making great videos! 👍

[@618Fishing]

+Brennan Pederson Thanks for watching Brennan, I sure will try!

[@maryjanemartinez2742]

i also fish in ponds in my house i have a huge fishtank that has 23 of good little bass

[@MKrip808]

When I was a kid, I used to catch those green sunfish and creek chubs in a drainage ditch that ran through my neighborhood in suburban Maryland. One time I followed the little stream about a mile to where it ran under a bridge under a highway and I caught two 12 inch creek chubs and one 9 incher floating a bait under the bridge. Never caught creek chubs near that size before or after that day.

[@618Fishing]

Sounds like a great adventure! It's crazy where you can find fish and that's a giant creek chub!

[@zekdomgjoni2398]

I love fishing but my parents don't. I don't even have a takle box or rod I use a stick with a string tied to it with a hook on the end. I fish in this tiny stream in the woods. My parents say it's to expensive for the fishing stuff but they said if I had the stuff they would take me better places. Ps I'm 14. Oh and bye the way your fishing skills are amazing please keep posting!!

[@618Fishing]

+Zek Domgjoni hey thanks Zek! Where do you live? There are plenty of cheap rods and reels that do just fine for starting out. Walmart usually has some inexpensive kits that come with everything you need to begin fishing. A stick with line and hook tied to it would've done pretty good at the fishing spot in this video

[@zekdomgjoni2398]

+618 Fishing yea I know but they still say you'll break it and it would be a waste of money. But that was really cool how you caught those fish thx For posting

[@justicecountryman4060]

Get a bamboo rod and some hooks with a little box or something to hold them in.

[@palabrasagrada429]

Amazing how these fish can grow in a pond like that. Thanks for sharing

[@618Fishing]

+Palabra Sagrada I agree! Thanks for watching, Palabra!

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

This vid is dope. Makes me wanna go back to the crick I fished as a kid and catch me some chubs, shiners, pumpkinseeds, and bullhead.

[@donjackson8816]

You have a good heart. Great Don

[@kingpoo8580]

interesting catch, catch n release👍

[@618Fishing]

+GuiltyCrown X Thanks for watching:D

[@davejuergens294]

7/03 /20 and I'm just now watching this video... 8 months ago I started watching. So good and so much content. You have come a long way sir

[@snakehandler87]

Great vid man I used to do the same in a drainage puddle behind a target. Was crazy how many different types of fish were in it.

[@fatmanvidz]

this reminds me of when Jeremy Wade (river monsters) found a little mud hole by a tree FULL of electric eel 😂😂

[@618Fishing]

Haha I love river monsters and yeah that was crazy how he finally found the eels trapped in a puddle in the middle of nowhere because of a flood

[@owenkineshanko7295]

Your probably catching that same fish every time and it just keeps on getting bigger because you keep feeding it lol

[@rileyoneill5005]

i saw u hadcaught a warmouth and i was fishin and caught one of those and casted him back in to see if i could catch anything and caught a huge 3 in a half foot trout

[@618Fishing]

+Riley Oneill nice catch Riley! thanks for watching!

[@luv2eatpuss79]

I could watch these all day

[@pnwflyfishing3188]

you sir make the most unique fishing video on youtube. I love em!!!

[@618Fishing]

+chris rushin thanks chris!:D

[@scottybhoy8375]

might try this in scotland for a natrual fish tank I've been wanting to do for years thanks for the video now I just gotto find the right gear thumbs up good sir

[@618Fishing]

Best of luck, Scotty!

[@albatross5739]

The fact that you have a little bobber to fit your little pole is fucking so funny

[@miguelbobadilla-lagunas7783]

Very cool video for fish lovers!! Keep them coming !! Very nice.

[@618Fishing]

+Miguel Angel Bobadilla Thanks Miguel! i will try my best!!

[@keeka2077]

Yay u probably remember me from last creek video thanks for posting

[@top1scentral748]

GOLDxSWAGGER 15 he said he does remember you

[@orangedac]

woah i'd never imagined there were that many fish in such a small body of water.

[@jungblud59]

The one you caught 6 minutes 30 seconds into the video was a creek chub. Excellent video, keep up the great work!

[@earthnwaters]

this is pretty cool, and I have to say its such the opposite of other fisherman trying to catch huge and monster fish.. even small fish are nice to see up close,just shows the whole nature side of things how theres a beginning of life

[@sgtpavlov]

this is cool! I love this sort fishing!

[@618Fishing]

+sgtpavlov I always have fun finding cool spots to fish in creeks! Thanks for subscribing!

[@rommelcruz3651]

nice video! thanks for sharing! remind me of my childhood back in the philippines where in our place i know a lot of puddles with tons of fish in it.

[@noelkrok9617]

You should take these fish home and give them a better home

[@nelsonbanegas3830]

yeah Noel he should of

[@michaelsolis5682]

+Hookset Fishing I think they met a local pond/lake. But idk

[@fishinfanatic1464]

+Hookset Fishing a fish tank would probably be bigger than that puddle

[@noelkrok9617]

Yes I ment a local pond

[@ComedicScents]

+Noel Krok relocating fish or any animal for that matter can possibly result in some of them dying due to lack of adjustment. It's still a good idea though

[@420blackbirds8]

creek chub, pumpkin seed, shinner? or bass? and ..longears. l love it. fishing is not about size, it's about discovering varieties of breeds in the undiscovered waterways.

[@colinsoileau5033]

Actually if you want to get a good fight its about size. And what is fishing without a good fight?

[@tristasherouse4946]

exactly

[@420blackbirds8]

it's not a real fight. 90% of the time you win. and even if you the fish gets loose. the fish will die from the hook in the mouth. so in any case you win again. the fish don't get a free meal. fishing is not about "fighting" as more about "perceived fighting" if you enjoy that part of the sport. this type of fishing is about small surprised and quiet solitude.

[@bdogman2733]

+bob cod there's a lot of wrong info in all that

[@dodgeshadow2.551]

+bob cod where are you getting your information

[@the-mountainlife]

Pretty crazy that there are actually fish in that tiny thing!

[@618Fishing]

+THE MOUNTAINLIFE I was surprised there were so many! thanks for watching THE MOUNTAINLIFE!

[@emranhussin8079]

618 fishing the best, this real advancer fishing man,I like this 100% real

[@christhiansoza4980]

I used to do this back when i lived in Tennessee, they have a lot of creeks and puddles up by Chetam Co. and the fish afe bigger than these.

[@alejandro-fx5yh]

Look at him, so young and happy!

[@KalebP]

cool video! I caught fish like those when the creek near my house overflowed onto our land

[@radioactivegore9799]

Aww the one at 5.23 was sooo cute it had huge black eyes 🐟

[@618Fishing]

+DLC efeproonlife Thanks for watching!!

[@lalitshubz]

Great fishing! What i really want to know is how you got from here to your current vids with much better lighting, sound, editing and all of that! Did this video get to a million before all that or that was inspired by this reaching a million? - a friendly fisherman trying to improve his own channel. Tight lines!

[@ChargedUp94]

no matter how small the fish are its always a great experience to be outside from the Urban area

[@coloradoranger1988]

Great video J thought that you weren't going to catch anything in that small puddle but I was wrong

[@jamesritter5078]

Thanks for sharing this video. You're right - an amazing amount of fish in that little area. I wonder - Should you maybe take those fish out and transfer them to a pond, so that they'd survive the hot summertime, when puddles like this get dried up? Of course, on the other hand, raccoons have to eat, too! :)Anyway - Thank you. This was enjoyable.

[@618Fishing]

+James Ritter very good points, James! I agree but I kind of feel I should let nature run it's course. In this instance I believe it rained a few days later so the fish most likely moved on down the creek. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@realplayers6615]

618 Fishing good

[@gusferrachi6862]

Those fish are probably so hungry they will eat anything that lands in the water

[@klownyou1]

The bigger minnow you caught was a creek chub btw, I used gulp maggot pieces

[@sashaauyong6169]

Mimi fishing so cute!

[@williamela3340]

Cool! They're bigger than I thought they would be

[@kims_gone_riding_276]

what kind of bait do you use...I recently started watching and I like your videos😊

[@618Fishing]

+Monkeymarines15 Thanks I really appreciate it!! for small fish like these i like using small pieces of hot dog

[@fragelicious]

They look like Warmouths. a type of sunfish that rarely ever gets over a half pound. world record is around a pound and a half I think. interesting video dude

[@618Fishing]

+Tom R They sure are some cool looking fish. Thanks for watching, Tom!

[@thesodathief]

That looks like a ton of fun i would bring a note pad and mark how many i get and make a game out of it lol

[@618Fishing]

+Oskar Van de Velde When it doesn't rain for a while they get stuck in these small pools until the next rainfall. Thanks for watching, Oskar!:D

[@tbwildimages9993]

+618 Fishing Interesting! How did you discover this type of fishing?

[@618Fishing]

hmm I'm not really sure.. I've always been intrigued by fish living in small creeks growing up

[@seahorse2034]

nice to see you love fishing

[@victorlopez2051]

i like ur videos they are awasome so keep up the good fishing thing

[@AngelSanchez-bd6bz]

[@xspeeder1976]

Nice video by the is fishing you favorite hobby because my son loves fishing I believe 2 or a year ago my son caught a huge makeral it was like 17 inches in total he also caught a baby leopard shark

[@618Fishing]

[@kelvisgordon1715]

cool tiny fish ever how do puddle fish go like that 2nd one was medium-sized

[@cjvega9328]

this is funny but cool 😂 didn't know they was even fish in puddles

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

Love this sorta stuff man

[@YienLiu]

Wow there's fish in small puddle that pretty cool

[@John-ow1ii]

Try finding a deep hole for bigger fish in that creek. Also dam it up so you can have deeper pools and better fishing

[@618Fishing]

It's such a small creek and dries up pretty quickly so I was actually thinking about damming up a couple spots so the fish have a place to go when the water level drops. Thanks for watching and commenting John!

[@John-ow1ii]

+618 Fishing keep up the great videos!

[@stevel7192]

Wow so many different fish. how the heck so many in a puddle?

[@seancoyote]

I think the fish you were guessing about at 630 is called a creek chub.

[@keithkillion7154]

Hey Nick, have you ever gotten any feedback on the two lures you built andgave away?

[@pikehuntersnl5939]

i know the name, but only in Dutch. i believe its called a sunperch, but thats a letterly translated word, i could be wrong tho. great vid man!

[@618Fishing]

+PikehuntersNL Thanks for watching!!

[@klownyou1]

I used to do the same for creek chubs then I would use them for catfish bait

[@thebrian4201]

all the fish before the bluegill look like baby largemouths!

[@TheButtGrease]

+Scott no they are green sunfish lol

[@BoostedYote]

[@crustycheetoes695]

+618 Fishing anytime this is good stuff

[@Coastalfishes]

you can see lots of mud, past floodline and water erosion especially at 1:09 these are all clues that this used to be a big flowing creek that dried up and this is what is left. floodline of past higher water at 6:47 where he is sitting, I wonder what drained all the creek's water.
