This River is LOADED with FISH! (SURPRISE CATCH)

This river is LOADED with fish! I went river fishing to catch a fish that I have NEVER caught. I fished the Potomac River near D.C. for shad. It was my first time ever shad fishing and it did not disappoint. I caught shad almost every cast. They fought really hard and were a blast to catch. My friend joined me and she caught the biggest fish of the day which was a big surprise! I loved river fishing for shad and I will definitely be back to catch more.

"There's plenty of room out here if you want to join." That's awesome! *That's the right thing to do and we never do it* (I'm guilty too). Gotta work on that.

[@levimosser747]

Shad are on my bucket list! Looks like you had a blast👍

[@alexandergreen8527]

I’ve lived near DC my whole life and never thought to fish for shad before. I love the lite rod fishing so I might just give it a try.

[@scottsoucy6186]

I used to catch a lot of shad and carp about 30 - 35 years ago when I used to fish the steelhead and salmon spawning runs near me. Lots of fun! Mepps spinners, Blue Fox Vibrax spinners and Little Cleo spoons.

[@tgsfishing5979]

That river was loaded.another awesome video

[@Fishing4life1997]

your videos are fun to watch I feel like i’m right there fishing with you

[@Joowkemoowke]

All the rivers you visit are loaded :) it's so easy to catch fish on rivers like that one. I would like to see your skills on rivers with little fish :)

[@fishbasslover]

Hi Fish hawk Just FYI that is not a Carp, it looks a like Quillback sucker!

[@masonmetz5105]

Great video Fish Hawk, entertaining as always!!

[@MANCINGNGELELENGPGK]

Great video friend...have nice day and have fun friend

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Awesome job buddy! That was one pretty carp! The Potomac River is the best!

[@shawneldridge4465]

nicely well done on catching those shad, It seems like they give a good fight there. also some good sizes too. if you're into catfish, then the river would be a great place for that as well. Chicken liver and cut up some eels into small pieces too. Catfish loves eating those type of things.

[@tayloralexis1504]

Awesome as always my friend 👊👊

[@cliffordhutt143]

So that wasn't a carp. That was a quillback sucker and a BIG one at that! Plus, it's a native species, so even better!

[@debbiecooper9407]

Nice ID!

[@randyshaw8613]

You sure where slaying those shad nice little change up great video

[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

That is an extremely pretty area. I can't wait to wade some creeks this year. Still very cold here in IL... 41 today... yuk

[@appleseeD552]

SLAYIN EM MAN...JUST SLAYIN EM!!🤯👍 Are Shad any good to eat??🤔 This is definitely a first for me...seein someone CATCH a Shad while fishing for em.😮 I've heard of using Shad lures to catch Bass but never EVER heard of fishing for these. Dig the new content my friend and THANK YOU for the longer content bro....seriously Thanks.👊🙂 Peace ✌😎

[@dwheeler016]

Nice day. Those things put up quite a fight

[@joycedimaggio3816]

Never caught one, looks like fun!

[@ghollow18]

Jeez, gonna need a bigger reel for those fish! They’re way out there. Beautiful fish though, great job!

[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

Never caught a shad like they - they seem *really hearty*

[@ravenator5396]

At least there's water there northern MD n south central pa hurting for water no snow pack has no ground water to supply food for them😂

[@RippinDragDrew]

Love the video ❤

[@gregwegrzyn1924]

That’s great car bait. Good action

[@HuyFishingVlog]

I also go fishing like you. but it's great to see you. have a good day

[@davidleimeister5027]

What was the surprise catch? The carp or the one who caught it? Great video FH!

[@danielmeegan6259]

Skip jack shad oily

[@wayne10161967]

we mostly have gizzard shad around here.

[@tokringtea1847]

wow'....good 👍👍

[@tomritter493]

Fun catching don't eat em they suck .your Lady seemed to have a good time

[@orlandofanofsoccer]

Man I love your videos but this one killed me! Why keep reeling when the fish is eating drag?! A good way to snap a line for sure! Good video and awesome job slaying it!

[@perangkaptikus2612]

Congretulation👌👌👌👍👍

[@prostreetcamaro]

Now take the shad and cut them into large chunks. Use a big circle hook and a big rod and reel and catch you some monster blue cats! 50lb blue isn't uncommon in these waters. You look like your up toward fletchers boathouse here?

[@danrash8535]

Wish you could let us know the loc it sounds like you r close to Dulles airport

[@tomritter493]

So did the lady get any .great day out hawk

[@fishingwithmikey361]

Nice they put a fight don’t they🤙🏾

[@phillatella6470]

[@aminoworld751]

That wasn’t a carp it was buffalo

[@Nahum17good]

Here fishy fishy!🎣

[@levimosser747]

Croatian gils😊

[@danielmeegan6259]

Use them as bait for big Cats Muskie Norther even bass

[@kam4399]

When you coming back to Wyoming

[@michaelwise9684]

Why the bullet weight above the swivel?

[@b47ance34]

Probably to cast further

[@TheJaymon1962]

American shad, right?

[@richardwarfield7386]

Nice Carp

[@monkeymanstones1]

Watch on 2 devices because I can only leave comments on this one. At least the commercials play on both. I am a human being and not a "bot". I watch because I enjoy Fish Hawk's channel so play nice, KZbin! You show twice as many ads (so long as each is less than 5 minutes). No cause to consequence anyone due to this. This device is only 1080P. The other one is 4K. This is exactly why. Yeah, I copied and am reposting the same comment because I have many to go through on 2 devices and want to be just a tiny bit lazy about it now (around 20 videos in watching in order until I reach the newest video to finally finish what I promised I would - Up to date once done (not stopping after)!

[@MrDtrevino1]

same fish over n over

[@omartirado7247]

[@omartirado7247]
