SECRET SPILLWAY = NEW Species!?!

[@etiennesellen8384]

You should build a spillway in your backyard 🤣

[@618Fishing]

Etienne Sellen yes!

[@HotepHooliganSupreme]

You right

[@mynameisnotcory]

Thats a largemouth bud, im a fisheries management biologist and i see about all of the unique bass strains samn near every day

[@Phytologics]

took the comment right out of my mouth, definintely a largemouth.

[@grimreaper7862]

Thats what i thought but i put small mouth lol

[@greybeard3156]

I gotta say, your videos have given me the inspiration to head out into the amazing fishery we have in my town and do some videos! All my past attempts were to show "big" fish, but i need to say, your enthusiasm for catching whatever is great! Thank You! Keep on fishing!!

[@nategarner5646]

Your videography is amazing. I really enjoy how you capture the beauty of each spot you fish.

[@WTN808]

I enjoy your videos. I like your catch an release philosophy. I like doing same on release...say goodbye and thank. Small "game" fishing is interesting, challenging and fun. We sometimes used to use a simple long pole and live bait or jig. Tossed it out and retrieve...flip it back out and retrieve....need to really know how to play the fish in.

[@patrickowens1993]

Excellent vid man, everything is coming together. The truck setup, all your rigs for each type of fishing you wanna do, and some epic spots. Lookin forward to the ice fishing videos this year! Keep up the good work brotha, much love from CO

This place is Beautiful, has great Fish, congratulations your Fishing was amazing.👍🎣😎 Hug and good Fishing!

[@thomasbroking7943]

Love finding spots like that. So far of a walk it's probably lightly fished at best. Probably holding big fisn under where the cement has washed out. 👍👍👍👍

[@MrRandom-mi3bh]

Can you do a video at the spill way where you caught those giant bow fins

[@Sportsmanskitchen]

Good ole silver lake spillway. Great fishing spot.

[@tlcphi2]

It's hard to determine if that was truly a spotted bass when they are that small. Idk if I would add that one to the list yet

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Tim Cee, yeah, I thought that looked like a largemouth

[@alexmiller299]

Largemouth

[@benchristie89]

Lmao

[@landonm3301]

Tim Cee I agree

[@Graceclaw]

It was definitely a Spotted Bass. You can tell from the spots under the lateral line (contrary to popular belief that it is the lateral line's spots)

[@JESSO_]

Love a good spillway, never know what could be lurking in there. Awesome video man as always!

[@jefferybeene6563]

Great adventure..had a lot of fun..thanks

[@MonkeysMom15]

Too bad you can't mark some of those crappie with a magic marker so you know if you have caught one of them before. lol We did that once with a crawfish at the river. We took it over to an inlet and left it, and yep, it came back and was stealing worms again. So we marked him with a red magic marker I had in the car and moved him to the inlet. Sure enough, it was the same one that came back, so we just dumped the rest of the worms in where he was when we left. That was a couple of years ago. I would like to go back and see if by chance he's still there, but I doubt it, and I doubt the marker would last that long. lol Thanks for another great video. Happy fishing.

[@finnafishfl]

Your bed setup is sick

[@kwalkjr9938]

How do u know what his bed is like lol jk

[@SamTheFisherMan100]

This, this is the fishing channel I’ve looked for. He’s not shouting and super overly fucking hype at the camera like a lot of American fishing channels and he doesn’t spend 50% of the video vlogging. Nice stuff.

[@realtree1829]

Love your videos bud. You have taught me a lot with different lures and techniques. Love the content thank you.

[@618Fishing]

Matthew Barreira thank you I appreciate you watching!

A bad day of fishing is a better than a good day at work!

[@FlatOutBankAngling]

I love catching bowfin! 👍👏🎣🍻

[@marissachavez4842]

Awesome spillway great location.

[@Twhip16]

You should do a fall bass fishing video. Teach us your ways oh master.

[@kamarte]

I'm so glad that you keep those SECRET spots to yourself! ;)

[@nqi87]

I do not share this sentiment.

[@tombombadil6591]

Dude i live in Houston. An hour away is the other side of town xD

[@skufed5150]

same i live near LA

[@numberone1060]

Lol dallas here, the other side of town is 2 days away, not because of distance, just traffic.... ohh how I hate dallas traffic haha.

You forget your net even more than I do which makes me feel a little better about myself thanks

[@dusticotton1016]

Hey man dont know what state youre from but try using cut and or whole bluegill that what works for us here in Michigan fishing spillways

[@madmattfishing]

Love your spillway videos

[@sasquatchcustomlures]

Love the videos but I’m sorry to say that a largemouth bass not a spotted. Keep up the good work.

[@Tussin2sickMusic]

my thoughts exactly, looked like a baby large mouth.

[@Graceclaw]

It's definitely not. The abdominal spotting was distinctive on the first one especially

[@uAintliveifudontthiz]

Graceclaw always one of you in every group isn’t it.

[@brandonmedders6568]

That was a small largemouth not a spot. One sure fire way of telling if it's a spot is that it has a rough patch in its tounge.

[@bassmaster5526]

love the spillway vids keep doing them plz i love them

[@scottflynn5644]

Nick Do you ever eat your fish? Scott from Kentucky

[@Mainland444]

You are living the dream buddy

[@vincentfolkedahl1107]

I can tell you that the little bass you caught was a largemouth but they do look like spotted bass in their youth so cant blame you for misidentification but beautiful fish today!

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

I’m loving these videos

[@mikeunt4169]

Watted Fishing where at

[@MrToast-po3yf]

You are the best fisher i know

[@OsvaldoRodriguezTorres]

As always, awesome video. I just want to make a comment/suggestion regarding the latest titles you use. Using question phrases like "New pb?" or "new species?" like on this one i think trying to "bait" or catch some views in my opinion are not necessary. I think given the great content you always provide just being straight forward could be more appreciated. I hope this is not taken the wrong way, i just think you don't need that. Keep it up.

[@BassGeek]

I can't tell for certain but I do think that was a spot. It should have had a tooth patch on the tongue but more important the mouth should NOT go past the eye. You didn't have it's mouth closed but I don't think it would have.

[@618Fishing]

BassGeek once I got home I started looking up identifiers online and comparing them to the pictures/video of the ones I caught and Im thinking you’re right. I wish I had one with its dorsal fin up and mouth closed

[@DragRacingMediaOfThePast]

Hey Nick, yeah it was definitely a baby laregmouth. I specifically target spots and it can be very hard to tell them apart if you haven't caught them before, but once you catch them regularly your eyes will immediately spot the differences without you even having to think about it. There are a lot more differences in their appearance than people realize. I think you'll get your first spot soon though, they have a big presence in creeks! Tight lines bro

[@chrishenicke2052]

Should have used the bass and crappie for bait!

[@russredfern167]

I would have tried small plugs in both spots. If all else fails yellow 6th ounce rooster taill.

[@aeronmarcum9185]

U ever thought of using live baby carp I would love to see that

[@DannyCal]

we need to go and fish some of those main lakes.

[@seanchandler6729]

awsome vids bro! what is your ultralight????Also what pound line do you have on it and what pound line is on your avet? also at the end that was a turtle hind half.
