Using BIG BAITS for SPILLWAY MONSTERS!!! (Surprise Catch!)

DO NOT FISH HERE. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING.

[@robertflint4115]

"Buddy or Bait, Buddy or Bait, please be Buddy"...This is the question running through every bluegills mind as Nick reals them in.

[@guyquinton2413]

Haha bluegill roulette

[@618Fishing]

haha

[@jeffscuderi8662]

With me it's also dinner.

I'm dying 😭 Oh damn you got me with this.... Can't breathe Be blessed y'all 🙏

[@grantisfishing8479]

Haha 😂

[@rickbanks9263]

Am I the only one who loves this (fish on) (holy cow) and (see you later buddy!) Guy? Lol! Fun guy to watch. Plus I love 🐟 fishing!

[@brightnezz-_-yt874]

Rick Banks. Yes that is so funny 😂

[@CreatureOfGoddess]

You are not the only one, no

[@BakerWx]

Yes, you are the only person who loves this guy. None of his 381k followers actually like his content. Dumbass...

[@CreatureOfGoddess]

@@BakerWx man you're a real monster commenter. The bait selection and water quality is pretty bad where you are huh? Perhaps you should try new tackle, or a new spot. See you later buddy 🤗 Be blessed y'all 🙏

[@BakerWx]

@@CreatureOfGoddess The fishing is actually top notch where I am, don't know why you'd make the assumption it isn't. And sorry if I offended you for pointing out the stupidity of a comment.

[@stevehess65]

Dude, I'm hooked on your channel. Haven't fished in over 10 years and recently found my love for fishing come back. Your excitement encourages me.

[@rrpostalagain]

Exactly. I lived in his neck of the woods for like 15 years and hated every day of it. Now I wish I had done this the whole time.

[@joegrande4848]

Helpful hint covor lots of water and vary retrieves from fast moderate and slow. Try 3 casts per spot. That way you can get the 3 different variations of speeds to what fish will respond. Important especially when it's hot to covor the edge of covor if you don't have braid. Points pockets and drops from shallow to deep. If it's cooler try fishing areas with rock or that's muddy. If you get bites in those 3 casts fish area 10 minutes then move. If you get no bites keep moving and use the variety of retrieve speeds fast medium and slow. Use each retrieve speed with each cast fast, medium or slow. Trust me doing this helps.

[@JTCT371]

I love your videos mostly because you show what EVERY fisherman goes through, no editing out the smaller fish, or when you fall, or any of the imperfections which go with this incredible sport. You also catch, again, what we ALL do when we think the fish at the end of the line isn't as big as we thought it was. Thanks for keeping everything as real and true to life as it actually is. See ya later, buddy!

[@chetstarvish2859]

Nick hands down best fishing adventures on the web. Your enthusiasm and dedication to the sport are unparalleled. Keep them coming brother tight lines to you

[@mwindham175]

Always enjoy this guy's enthusiasm about fishing and the outdoors. He truly loves everything about it. Very fun to watch the adventures.

[@ghur3049]

I like coming back to these older videos. So much fun, especially since winter has arrived.

[@stevethebarber1]

“Oh look guys there’s a raccoo... OH I’m getting a bite!” Hahah I was cracking up 😂 Nice job

[@diegovsthewrld6753]

I was looking for this comment

[@Dss-bm3rz]

Love how excited you are to catch any fish despite its size. Little bluegill on the line and your like" omg fish on! YES! It's a bluegill! Awesome!"

[@ryanwalker4303]

Haha circle hook strikes again. Don’t set the hook. Leave it in the rod holder until the rod loads up completely. Then just keep strong tension. Everytime you set the hook you yank the hook out of its mouth. Use a J hook if you want to set the hook

[@cukman1643]

Ryan Walker yeah idk it looks like a bass hook set

[@Billy-bn1rp]

Ryan Walker finally someone said it

[@MrSlayerkid117]

My guy

[@thegoats20]

He’s right ya know

[@uneedamuracle]

I don't think you have to "leave it in the rod holder" though. Just reel in slowly so the hook tucks in the corner of the mouth.

[@buckysimpson2712]

My fiance and I really enjoy watching you Nick. Especially when we try and figure out what your location is. For the most, we can figure out where it is your fishing at. We are from Illinois. Thank you for all the ups and downs you have along your adventures. Keep it real brother. And "FISH" on!👍👍

[@ScottWorthington]

Enjoyed sharing your adventure, Nick. Thanks.

[@eckeharddedekind1034]

You should use a small live bait sun fish on a float where you caught the bass and see if you can't catch a big one. Would be cool.

[@ScootersTroutFishing]

I agree with this statement

[@loveishope4406]

You are my favorite fisherman to watch. I spend a lot of time watching you. You are such a nice guy and I love your respect for the inhabitants of the water. Just a joy to watch.

[@Buildingenjoyment]

A new species “common carp” glad he celebrates everything! Love it!

fish: the raccoon diversion tactic has failed me..

[@jodiedillehay8845]

Omg thank you for leaving in when you slip and stuff.. I’ve needed a good laugh for awhile.. thank you so much.. I’m still cracking up thinking about it.. that little snapping turtle was probably laughing at you 😅😅😅 ❤❤❤

[@Mulching_man]

Never in my life have I seen so many bowfin congregated before. I’ve caught maybe 2-3 in my lifetime and this guy is catching them just about every cast. Love the videos. Just like to see some giant catfish at some point.

[@AFishBicycle]

You gotta be patient with those circle hooks friend! Just wait and when it’s had it for a while then reel up the slack and keep it under tension. The hook needs time to move to the side of the mouth, turn to the side and slide into position and the under pressure the hook turns and the point goes in. If you pull too hard too soon, then the round edges just slides right out of the mouth without catching and turning into the side of the mouth. Cheers!

[@raucousweevil7731]

I like how he was skeptical about the automatic hook setter but now he actually uses it often.

[@618Fishing]

always have one with me! still not 100% happy with it, but it's worth bringing!

[@dannylobo209]

618 Fishing what are the pros and cons to using the auto hook setter? 🤔

[@Brock_Landers]

6:44...that HAD to hurt...filming entertainment for strangers can be painful at times...🤣 Thanks for sacrificing your wellbeing for our entertainment Nick!

[@dannylobo209]

Seriously bro I love your videos. I've been binge watching them and they're all amazing. Keep the videos coming and if you can give out tips on what exactly you use it would really help out us newer fishermen. Thanks 😁

[@byronrhamy1199]

You are a great fisherman, honest and humble, and yes I fall too...You have alot of respect, do not lose that..I enjoy your videos as you and your sense of camera grow...Keep up the great work, was those bowfin or bourbot?????

[@aarontroutfishing]

Awesome vid. You have quickly become one of my favourite fishing channels. Well done!

Hay there 618 fishing, been watching for awhile now and I thinks its great yeah loads of good big fish and the nice music. All make for a fun time by the river.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Looks like a fun time! It would be cool to see what ate that Rainbow head.

This place is beautiful has big fish Congratulations your fishing was incredible, you have good fishing equipment.👍🎣🐠🐟

[@differentfins]

Love your videos! Been watching your channel for about a year now. One thing I thought was super funny about this video though: Nick: "I am going to move to that sandy beach area, looks like lots of fish activity right in front of it." *Nick walks to the sandy beach then casts 30 yards downstream lol

[@FranktheTank319]

Hi, everybody, welcome back to the spillway fishing channel where we're gonna catch some MONSTERS!

[@clayman478]

I mean look where hes fishing...a 30 yd little whole with no cover or debris. Its mainly sand. How many fish have you ever caught in sand?

[@ST-ik7lt]

I literally have a 618 area code and can’t catch a bowfin anywhere around me, I really want to though because obviously they are around here but anyways another great video my man 🤙🏻

[@tilmonhensley443]

"This video is going to be a little different, we're going to a spillway" 😂

[@kevindunahoo6401]

The turtles are messing with the heads. Happens to me all the time

[@Reflectivityy]

Use a slip bobber and hold it just off the bottom. Seems to work for me. Seems like they prefer it on bottom do holding it just a bit up stops them but not the catfish.

[@marineboy6033]

That’s a really great video! Great camera work, great fishing and I can just feel your excitement!

[@chadmichael210]

Love your videos thanx!!!

[@DragRacingMediaOfThePast]

You're missing fish setting the hook with a circle hook, just reel into the fish they are designed to set themselves with steady tension

[@sengvaaj]

Do a night fishing series.

[@isaiahpotter8005]

Not even

[@parkerwelsh9942]

I used a couple of trout heads for bait on lake erie and I didn't catch anything but I think it would be good bait for lake erie

[@joshcharlton9122]

Ive used trout heads in lake erie and they work very well!

[@Sirkanythe]

I saved a lot of trout heads from this past winter from trout season here in Kansas I'm hoping they'll catch something sizable this Spring and Summer.

[@ronaldbizlink1311]

Normally if I'm using circle hooks, I wouldn't strike/ yank cos simply unnecessary to circle hooks will almost certainly set itself right at the side of the mouth of the fish where it was designed to. Matter of fact I have lost lots of fish when I include strike movements when using circle hooks. If you are using other hooks like octopus, live bait, bottom hooks etc then u might wanna include strike movements in these kinda hooks.

[@bobhamilton298]

One of the problems I have with big baits is the bait itself crowds the hook. I try to make it so the bait can easily slide up the line if a fish gets hooked. Easy to lose a fish if the hook can't really penetrate. Love your videos!

[@jamesshaughnessy552]

When it says 40 minutes ago

[@deefisherguy]

Start using whole kernal sweet corn as bait for carp if your looking for the fight from those guys

[@usa-rb5fi]

I catch trout on corn also, also seen a rock bass eat it once too

[@LaClippersFan310]

Yup!!! My favorite fresh water fish to catch!!! Carp are the real MVP

[@Reflectivityy]

I absolutely love using my ugly Stik lite rod. Use a long spool casting reel and about 15 pound test. Really learn to use drag makes for an incredible fight

[@Reflectivityy]
