[@chugchug5657]

I really like how excited you get and how much you appreciate a catch. I can tell how real you are. Thank you for this great video!

The best thing about all your PBs is that they all get to swim free to one day give you ur new PB. Amazing footage man, I look up to you and hope I can get something similar going.

[@robertpage3195]

I only "discovered" this channel a couple of days ago. I can watch about 3 episodes on way home from work on the train I don't live in America so have never heard of spillways before. They look fun

Great day of fishing, Nick. Beautiful flathead. Thanks for taking me along.

[@kylerbuckway5880]

I love the post video bloopers! These ones made me laugh pretty hard 😂

[@jordanmoone1198]

Those notches on the trigger are basically for how hard you want to fish to “pull” before setting it off. The farther down, it’ll be easier to trip, probably the reason you had some go off with no fish

[@timndel]

Exactly. If you find yourself missing some fish, put the line higher up on the trigger, allowing for a less sensitive strike trigger.

I love this show, pretty cool introduction to the video content, the background music, very inspirational, keep doing it.

[@moniquelegarda1842]

Living vicariously through your videos these days. Thank you!

[@mergrew0110]

The next logical step would be a device that gets up at 5am, drives 50 miles and catches fish while you stay in bed! For me, most of the pleasure is feeling that first bite and the rush you get trying to set the hook. I, personally, don't want a gadget to take that away.

[@johnnyRandomadness]

you like to do active fishing not passive fishing! Me too. You probably have patience hahah.

[@Jboogie314]

Well one never knows when you’ll have to pinch a loaf or drop the obamas off at the pool. For that it would come in handy

[@ChooseFreshAtSubway]

Feeling a bite while holding your rod is my favorite

[@chicharito417]

I agree, I like feeling the fish take the bait. But, if you fish with multiple rods like this guy, it's not a bad tool.

[@hslugger195]

Agreed, even with passive fishing, it’s nice to set the hook. Mechanisms break, humans don’t, most the time at least.

[@jaystef1627]

You gotta love that moment when you're pulling in a big snag and it starts pulling back.

[@rfire731]

That was awesome! I can't wait until my State lifts the closure on fishing on our lakes. Thanks again for another great video!

[@williamroraback6180]

Me too buddy

[@xmypantsx]

Same. It’s been so nice here in SW Washington the last few days.

[@rangerbill9536]

[@ohboy2592]

Can’t understand why there’s a ban on fishing. 🤷‍♂️

[@jerrymuddtheracecardriver9097]

This guy is amazing. Love how excited he is about not just fishing but the beautiful fish themselves. I loved that bowfin he caught!

[@JackycClark]

Seriously . Wherever he lives has absolutely great waterways . The diversity of good size fish is unreal to me . He's livin the dream .

[@halmorrison5397]

IF the world falls apart you literally have one of the best skills ever .

[@MrEazyE357]

What? Fishing at spillways? No hate, but I wouldn't call it a "skill".

[@mowaterfowl1479]

Seems like it would take the fun out of it all. One of the best parts of fishing is the hook set, that moment of deception revealed.

[@dustindavis4502]

Love the videos, Nick! I live just north of Edwardsville and I love seeing a bunch of familiar sights in your videos. These videos are much appreciated in quarantine!

[@jacksickler409]

My 3 yr old daughter loves your videos! Thank you for making her always laugh

[@jakewkayakfishing8457]

LOL'ed when you filleted the strap of that lightsaber contraption at the end. Nice catfish. I just caught a 100 lb. tarpon from my kayak. It felt like a snag at times.

[@shawnhearn4259]

My best is a 46 pound king salmon in Ketchikan Alaska. Could have won 8,000 dollars if I would have caught it two days later during the derby.

[@kerryparks1979]

When I was 10 years ago, I caught a Flathead cat that 47lbs with a Zebco 202 rod n reel combo. That's 10lb test line. That was back in September 1974. Thanks Frank Phillips for taking the time for this kid to get hooked on fishing. RIP FRANK!

[@bobhamilton298]

That Bowfin with the red reminded me of a Arapaima found in South America. Cool coloration!

[@deathtoliberals7843]

They are trash fish. Kill them when you catch them.

[@catfish4life896]

@@deathtoliberals7843 bow fin and arapaima are both native to there countries (arapaima,South America) bowfin (North America) bowfin are native fish and not a trash fish they are big predators that keep shiners,Shad,bluegill,creek chub , etc in check. They have a good impact on the environment, and if you took bowfin out of a lot of places it would suddenly change the environment and the food chain like, flathead eats bowfin,bowfin eats bluegill, bluegill eats minnow etc, they are Not a trash fish!

[@crazyaboutfishing]

[@darreldean5295]

The biggest catfish I caught was with my son playing with bluegill on the bank of a river in GA it was 34 pounds

[@TimHaunFishing]

I find myself smashing that like button before the video even starts. Love when I see you've uploaded. Edit: I think I would reset the hook after these contraptions set the hook for you.

[@irishwiseguy2006]

Once you realized Flatheads were in there that bullhead you caught should have went on as bait in about 2 seconds lol

[@chuckstith838]

Small bullkead is big flathead lunch

[@Leo-zd7nv]

I don’t understand. The Flathead is a type of catfish, isn’t it? The catfish I have caught were all bottom feeders. I assumed that the first flathead that was caught here, was a bottom feeder because the line was rigged with the worm at the end, with a weight ahead of it, putting the bait on or slightly off the bottom. You said that the size of the first bullhead would make good bait for the flathead. So are the flathead not actually bottom feeders?

[@MichaelSmith-ck2ro]

@@Leo-zd7nv since no one has answered your question, although catfish are mostly caught on the bottom their not exactly bottom feeders they're all actually predatory fish and prefer the bait fish in their area. But they're not picky and will take an easy meal when it's they get the chance. I say mostly caught on the bottom but can be caught under a bobber and thats my preferred method for Flatheads in slack water. And yes the bullhead is a type of catfish. Catfish are cannibals also and will eat other catfish even of the same species.

[@sighrusgann8200]

This video made me smile and lol alot you breathing and voice when you caught the flathead made me feel the excitement those things are good when you can't watch all your lines at once and they mak pretty good rod holders even when you don't use the trip wire can't wait to see what you get with them in the future tight lines dude🤙

[@briankemp1595]

I enjoy your enthusiasm, it has encouraged me to get back into fishing, but apart from the asian carp do you ever take any fish home for an occasional meal?

[@listenmyfriendfranklin6325]

That looked like a good time. Wow. Just wanted to know.....Did the “hooksetter” trip without a fish hitting it? Like by a bit of debris or whatever?

[@mustangcarpenter]

Besides stating the obvious that spring loaded devices are illegal in many states and provinces it is very cool to see it set off. I use jawjackers for ice fishing, legal since the rod provides the hook set. It is so cool to see the trap work, trigger goes off and then the rod bends back down to the hole... so awesome!

[@pspencer4328]

Love the videos

[@anacordero3150]

I wish they had bowling around me...Niiiiice fish! 👏👏👏

[@1Batt]

I am wondering about how to handle some of the catfish? I have heard a lot of different things like "don't touch the whiskers etc" so does each kind of catfish need to be handled differently?

[@Apache-Adventures]

The whiskers wont do anything, they use them to help find food on the bottom, its the side and top fins that you need to watch out for, they are hard as steel and are VERY sharp, like a needle sharp..if they stab you it releases a fluid that causes swelling and alot of pain, the baby catfish are the ones to really watch out for cause they jump around alot, and bigger catfish can be held by the lip for easy grip

[@ethanpartin4772]

I've been stabbed through the hand by a baby blue cat before

[@texoutlaw1732]

APACHE- ADVENTURES they really don’t release a fluid, it’s just the slime that can cause an infection if not treated properly.

[@johnduffy62164]

I think the problem with the gadget is it whips the rod with slack in the line. The trigger looks like it has various notches that might help. If you wrap the line higher up it might require more pull to engage and provided the fish isn't swimming towards you it could set better. I am just blue skying since I never used one but it might work . Thanks again for the best fishing show ever and endless moments of vicarious fun !
