I stopped fishing about 8 years ago due to hardly any time with work and having a child but found this channel and been binge watching you the last week or 2 and got me back into fishing, getting a new set up shortly and getting back out fishing cos of you so thanks man
That's awesome bro
Richard
Better times ahead, my daughter started landing large mouth at age 5, she. Out fishes me most of the time( she be driving soon)
Best fishing buddy EVER.
Bet you will feel the same!!
Been a good 10 years for me. I moved and don't really live that close to any decent locations anymore. When I was a kid we had a lake within a 10 minute walk from my house. That place was like my back yard.
@@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185 I live in England it's totally different the places to fish here compared to America, got quite a few local rivers between a 15 minutes walk and half an hour drive, there's a big reservoir about 20 mins drive and quite a few lakes within an hour drive aswell, I live in a little town on the edge of the open countryside so handy for fishing
@@richardkennedy7941 That's awesome! I've never been outside of america except for Canada. We used to go up there fishing for vacation when I was a kid in lake Ontario. There's some massive bass, pike and lake trout in there. Unfortunately my dad was an abusive alcoholic and would ruin our vacation every year so eventually my grandpa decided to stop going up there. Soon after that we just stopped fishing, life got the best of me for awhile, did some time in jail due to being a drug addict. Once I got out I moved out of town and never looked back. Been clean ever since, now since 2010. I would like to start fishing again eventually but I have some life goals I want to achieve first. Got clean and got mental health in order, now onto my financial goals. Soon I'd like to leave my home state of pennsylvania. I'd like to move to Delaware. Lots of great fishing down there, both fresh and saltwater.
Anyway, thanks for the chat!
You made me feel for the bowfin, real fishermen care for the land and the wildlife.
With all due respect what's the difference in cutting heads off grindle and cutting heads off sunfish just to use for bait? I don't care either way quite frankly I care more about the grindle being discarded I use cut bait myself just saying it could be a bit hypocritical.
@@bignck they werent using them from bait from what I could see. A lot of folks down here kill them because they dont like them scratching up their baits. It's a native species that belongs in our waters.
@@possumwalkeroutside9054 You're right it does belong in the water! My point was At the end of the day they both were killed for nothing. That's crazy people just kill them because they scratch up baits smh.. I mean how dare they go and bite something that mimics food smh
GAY
@@argothianswine5125 that's okay man people will accept you for you. When did you know you were gay
A man who is friends with every fish.
"See you later, buddy"
My favorite part of every video!
Thanks for all you do, buddy! Keep them coming and #fishon!!
Maybe fish with chicken lungs tough bait land some catfish bowfin arent prize fish
Not every fish, some he uses for live bait
unless you are a bluegill
Except the fish he uses to live bait
Guys, his use of catch for bait is fine. Fish eat fish, right? That's a lot of most fish diet. The important thing is the integrity of the ecosystem and not depleting its energy balance by removing too much biomass by over harvesting.
Thank you for being a role model for the fishing community. It’s refreshing seeing someone respect the land the way you do, and as all should.
Just chugged a beer. Told the empty can see you later buddy..
Quite funny sir. You almost made me spit out some pbr.
ZildjianGuy Man ew why pbr
@@Itsaarcty He almost spit it out cuz it's nasty
LMAO
25 days sober but I'm living vicariously through you. Have one for me tonight!
Your videos have actually helped me with how to fish for larger fish such as catfish or bowfin. Not only have I been hooking and landing more fish, but I also caught my first ever bowfin!
Congrats man that’s awesome!
Been following you for about a month now. The kayak episode was my favorite but I really enjoy how you base most of your fishing right off the bank. Gives alot of us smaller guys the will and hope to keep fishing. Thanks man
Down here in Louisiana we call bowfin choupique (shoe- pick) and we eat them they are very good fried with some White beans n rice 😋
You from gheens, lockport, larose or cutoff?
@@zackfrickey3070 Raceland
Mad respect for taking care of those bowfin, one of the reasons why this one of my favorite channels out there.
I love the excitement you bring every time you catch a big one, I never get tired of it. Thank you.
love your attitude and how you’re always positive. literally makes me smile just seeing you have so much fun fishing man. keep it up
I used to fish almost exclusively for catfish - everyone else was after bass, but I wanted the biggest fish in the lake - but after I caught a 3' and then a 4' channel cat, I switched to trout. After I caught two huge steelheads, male and female, I switched to bass.
Haven't had much time to fish this year, and haven't caught a single bass, but I have gotten a lot of really nice bluegill (always my favorite fallback). Anyways, your videos make me wanna catch a nice catfish again!
Him: Hooks bullhead and casts it.
Me: I'm thinkng in my head, "See ya later, buddy!!!"
You ever wonder if fish see the hook and in the Toy Story voice they think "the claaaaw!!!"
@@ChrisS.WyoBraska, I never did, but now I do. Lol
@@ChrisS.WyoBraska Thanks now I can't get it out of my head....lol
@@jbl5637 you're welcome 🤣🤣
Lolz
This makes me want to go to my local spill way and start fishing again great vid!
You make it look so fun. Thanks for sharing this from a senior woman. Your a true gentleman to the fish and environment. 🐟🐠🐡🦈🐬🐋🐳
Thanks Nick. I love your videos. As a shore angler, you are so lucky to be allowed to use multiple rods at one time. Here, we can only have one line in the water at a time. :(
In TX you can have 50, with 100 hooks
Just reminds me of when you found a bunch of line in episode one of the tiny lure challenge. These people give all fisherman a bad name.
wagwaaaaan... sat down for a few smokes again, and here is my man nick. can't wait to watch, brother! peace and love
Love your enthusiasm. You do such a great job with editing adjusting to unexpected situations. I just love to watch you go fishing as if I’m right there.
You should try bottom fishing with live crawdads, they will catch anything from flathead to freshwater drums
I've caught some huge gaspergoo on crawfish
Big alligator gar will hit them to
Small crayfish catch big trout as well
And that is how my dad found out that Zebco 33 rods float
I've done that before, I'm not sure exactly what it was but i was using 30 pound line and i put up a 10 minute fight until the line snapped. I was so mad. Whatever it was it was *BIG* wish i could have caught it. It jumped out of the water once, i think it was either a catfish or a Sturgeon. I was fishing up in Michigan on Mullet Lake which is connected to lake Huron.
Every time I watched you struggle to walk the fish down to the bank, balancing and stepping through all the clutter.. all I kept thinking was “Man, the other side with the manicured lawn looks much easier to fish”. Enjoy the videos, keep em coming!
Hey Nick, you are the first person I've ever subscribed too. You have really sparked my interest in really learning how to fish, not the standard go to the same spot and mess around but really look for an adventure.
The fact you show what bait your using and techniques is great. Maybe the future episodes (not sure if you have mentioned these things) but it would be cool to hear what kinda poles you are using, line strength and even the knots used?
Looking forward to seeing more man, keep it up!!
I love how you respect every single fish you catch even if you use it for bait, great channel. Keep having fun and putting put awesome content
Almost 300k views in just 2 days. Love the way your channel is growing, man. You deserve this.
It looks like you had a heck of a day catching bowfin young man. They were all nice fish. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Definitely turned out to be a good day of fishing. Thanks for watching!
Man this is hard for me to put into words, but I couldn't not say anything.
Fishing has been the most joyous common denominator of my life.
What I mean by that is that the best times I've ever enjoyed with my family, my friends, my pets, and even in complete solitude, have all been while I had hooks in the water.
Around that 12:30 mark when the music started picking up... the aesthetic of the running water, the overcast clouds, the music itself... it hit just right man.
Love your content bud, I'm a subscriber for sure now.
Just got into fishing because of this whole Covid Pandemic, founded to be something calming to do and man your videos are great . Your whole setup is nice. Glad I ran into your Channel brother
You’re a man with good heart i admire you,respect for the nature
Love this channel bro keep doing u
Best fishing channel iv seen yet, I watch it on my lunch break every day...
Awesome job fishing all those rods and videoing it all. I’m a fan, your enthusiasm is addictive.
Never seen someone catch as many bowfin as you, I feel bamboozled 😂😂 but I will keep watching for that one video when you finally catch that flathead
I was thinking" he should fish for bowfin. He would probably catch some catfish."
Haha I know! A couple years ago that was the species I always wanted to catch and now I find them almost everywhere! I’m not complaining tho!
Yes! Me too. I LOVE this dude’s video production. Beautiful shots. Great effects. Great editing. High production value.
But it drives me nuts that he only catches mud-fish.
Don’t get me wrong, they are fun to reel in, but they are easy trash fish.
Also... bowfin may very be native, however, just because a species is “native” doesn’t mean that it isn’t harmful to the ecosystem of that waterway. Mud fish eat anything and everything. They take over. (Why do you think he isn’t catching the cats we all want to see?)
In fact at many State Parks, Rangers have direction to dispatch any mudfish they catch so that other species have a chance to thrive.
Keep up the good work on the videos, avoid the mudfish, catch some cats.
@@basslikethefish613 yes I caught one and nearly killed it and a guy got pissed at me
I asked him why nobody catches pike or Walleye in that area,simple because Bowfin eat everything else and once they get big enough nothing eats them because of some taste they let out,they spread like a sumbitch and destroy everything in their path,but they're fun to catch
@@braedengoemer1099 are bow fin good to eat?
Interesting how you rarely, if ever, run into any crowds when you go fishing. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
Those camera shots!!! Amazing! Awesome drone footage
i remember a few years ago you would get that excited catching a small bluegill from a little hidden creek back in the woods. you have sure expanded your universe!
"I'll be honest guys, I was out here a couple days ago and I didn't catch anything but Snakeheads..." *plot twist*
I swear, Scooby Doo with a fishing pole couldn't find more adventures with mystery backstories than this guy. It's either a new PB or a murder mystery involving a perch in well trafficked creek.
xd
😂😂😂so true. “This is one of the biggest ones I’ve ever caught.. see ya later buddy”
My Dad taught me, you never kill anything your not going to eat. Words to live by. My Dad had a deep respect for all creatures, he fished and he hunted, he never trapped animals, he said that it was very cruel way for an animal to suffer. I have deep respect for my Dad.
I now have deep respect for your dad too he sounds like an amazing father to grow up with.
I hunt and fish too and I respect the animals. I never kill it unless I'm going to eat it and I agree with your old man, trapping is a horrible way for an animal to suffer. A buddy of mine uses dogs to hunt wild hogs here in Florida. I hate it because the dogs tear those hogs apart. I hunt them with my bow and make sure they never suffer. Using dogs or trapping is just cruel to me too.
Really impressed with the editing and quality! this is goals!
2020 is the first year I have been fishing in well over 12 years. I've been binge watching your channel and others since I came back from that Memorial Day Weekend Fly fishing the San Juan. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed fishing growing up in Illinois. You've got some great content and you put all those schmucks on the cable TV fishing shows to shame. Needless to say I've finally subscribed.
Ooooooooo that’s a nice lookin spillway right there, you should do a tackle overview to show us your rods and gear and what you use and knots n all that!! Love your stuff bro ✌️
As much as I love watching you catch these big fish. I think i would freak out to catch one probably loose my rod lol
I've only watched about 5 of your videos and I love your enthusiasm 😁 thanks for making great content
Great channel
Brother. Very enjoyable in these troubled times. Thanks
Let's see some more micro fishing soon ! Because of you I started micro fishing when the bite is tight and it always kills them 🔥
Nobody:
618 fishing: “vlogging while driving” *funeral rave guy INTENSIFIES*
OK Bro!!! I was told your channel was good and it's an understatement. Spillway are big fish grounds, we have aquaducts in California. Same thing different name. Takes skill to fish those. Much respect for you rod & reel games #TightLines
Thanks for sharing your fishing vids. Always enjoy watching them. Also got to compliment you on your choices in music. Sounds good.
Damn these were some beautiful bowfin... saw something similar recently at one of my favorite lakes, lotta big beautiful bream with their heads cut off... pisses me off. Anyway, awesome video as always!
Maybe they were going to use the brem as live date but just had to leave.. lol I catch shad in throw nets and use them for bait. Yeah it is stupid to just kill shit for no reason but I think it's slightly hypocritical when somebody says some stuff like that and then catches a fish and cuts its head off for recreation that recreation being catching another fish with it for catch and release
Bream maybe got confused with common carp..? Carp have infested my local waters and most of mine ended up as crawdad food, but I don't leave them around like that.
@@devincook2736 Nope here in Germany we don't have that carp problem. Some that are fishing for carp and a big bream takes the bait are pretty annoyed of them. Not the first time i saw that, sadly.
@@bignck yeah it's sad what they do. They definitely didn't want em for life bait tho, using life bait is illegal here in Germany, plus these bream were way too big.
@@devincook2736 and what's the problem with carp? it's not like they eat other fishes
I wonder how he'd react to catching a real catfish. Love this show though and the enthusiasm with every fish.
I like to take him out on the James here in Richmond Virginia and put him on one of those 80 or 90-lb blues LMAO
@@bignck, fore sure, or down on the atchafalaya. Might catch a 80 pound cat.. might catch a bull shark. Who knows. Lmao
@@bignck hey fellow 804'r here! Hey catching blues on the James kinda spoiled me! Lol We catch so many big catfish that we r like ah it's only another 20lber. Lmao u actually rate ur day on how many hundreds of lbs of fish u caught! I love it!
Yes he should go fishing for the wels catfish in Spain they grow to over 200 pounds and eat small cats for dinner
I have never seen so many healthy Bowfin caught in single outing! Nice job on the great care of the Dino's!
Dude i love how positive you are!!!!
I know a guy who says he used to take long nose gar and shove their beaks into the sand and leave them. So stoopid man. They are a native predator fish and very cool looking.
How sick and cruel you would have to be to do that
They are evasive your supposed to do it
Why I can’t stand bow fishing.... no catch and release there, just killing
I’ve also heard some people that fish with hookless hair jigs for gar, since they can’t get the beak untangled they just break that beak off, It’s harsh to such an amazing fish
I was fishing in the wabash River and a guy came up to me cause he saw I cause a gar and he stomped its head out without even saying a word to me!!! I agree man the only fish I’ve ever thrown on the bank was Asian carp and it was when I was bowfishing
u should invest in what in The Netherlands is called a "kruisnet" it helps a lot with landing big fish from hights.
it will safe u a lot of trouble :D Like the vids man!
Lars Koppelaar dat zou wel makkelijker zijn voor hem ja
I dont even like fishing but your awesome attitude is amazing. Smiles
Great day out there! Never caught the bowfin. They look like a blast!👍🎣 Great camera work as well!👍
1:41 ...no "see you later buddy." Right in the feels
you should call fish and game! they are great and finding out who’s doing that crap
Hate to say it but there is probably too much work for those fellas. Way under staffed in IL and wayyy under paid
Thanks for sharing! I am in the 618 as well, fish on Chouteau Island on the Mississippi if it isn't flooded and also on the spillway in Carlyle Lake. Caught some nice cats out there on raw chicken breast. Should try out there again! Keep up the great work!
I have never even heard of a Bowfin until I started watching your videos. Awesome fish Nick. 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
0:35 well that is ironic.
ha i saw that
Was it the trucks being towed?
It’s a tow truck pulling a tow truck
@@jerschmidt3331 Tow trucks break down too.
Back in the day, my fishing buddys wifes name was Annette... laughter ensues
I’m not a fisher but this is easily my favorite fishing channel.
Thanks for the videos dude you've encouraged me to start fishing again
1:30 I have never caught a Bowfin. If these idiots keep killing them I may never get to.
I agree man I have never caught one either but I have caught snake head before! I hope you get to catch a bowfin bro good luck on your CZcams channel and fishing bro😁😁😁👍👍👍 I subscribed to your channel and turned on notifications looks like you catch some monsters!

Love your videos man! Great stuff!
I am pretty certain that if I fished there, all I would catch is snags.
We should start giving names to your locations.
I move to call this spillway "Bowfinland". Can I get a second on that motion?
Seems fitting!
I was thinking Bowfin Channel.
I second that motion
Same here I second
Woooow exciting! This episode made my day ✨❗️ Love your channel, enjoy and stay safe!
G’day, CZcams should give you an award for Cinematography! Your videos are brilliantly shot mate. Kudos and continued success. Cheers from Mandurah, Western Australia!!!
Almost every single fish he catches in his videos "no way, no, no, no, no, no, no, no way, no"
Don't forget every release " Thank you buddy" Like the understands him.
@@BiPolarBoy1 *they*
Followed by a, "PLEASE STAY ON'
You must be new lol.
I say a few other words when I catch something in the excitement 😂
I’m willing to bet whoever did that to the boss had no clue they weren’t snakeheads
"I'll be honest guys, I was out here a couple days ago and I didn't catch anything but Snakeheads..." plot twist

Such quality in these videos.. bowfin are by far my favorite fish to catch, they’re so ruthless. Nice video man
Great video! One of the very few I’ve seen that spillway fish on here, which is awesome. You should totally hunt some Muskie! Best fight I’ve ever had.
Really sad there's someone fishing there that doesn't even know what their catching or worse don't care . Dad taught me don't keep it unless your gonna eat it or use it for bait .
Snake heads are our friends too
You should do bowfin catch and cook cut top like gonna fillet but then scool meat with spoon and when cook mix meat 2 parts mashed potatoes 1 part bowfin meat and cajun fish fry
Incredible content man! This brought me back home in the midwest! Liked & Subscribed!
Love the bluesy music! The slide guitar is great!
Awesome video! Your Bowfin fishery is insane! I’m lucky if I catch one or two a year. It really makes me sad seeing them killed and left on the bank. People need to educate themselves on identifying the difference between a native Bowfin and an invasive Snakehead. If they’re unsure just let the fish go. It was already there. That’s the way I see it. Unless, on other hand, they just despise Bowfin for the fact of them being a “roughfish”. Those claim they “hurt the environment” or “are bad for other fish”. When in reality it’s the complete opposite.
When he starts reeling and you hear the whistles you know he has something good
Catched today my PB Pike!!!! Now, after a successfull fishing day, beer and a new episode... yeah...!! Cheers from Switzerland
Good morning from the northern east of England. Just want to say I love your videos and your one awesome angler... top man and keep em coming..... be safe 😀🎣

Love you vids man!🦈
Great episode!
Cant believe I've been here since less than 800 subs, man it's getting more and more enjoyable to watch.
You should leave a sign that says there are no snake head in this water, only bowfin.
Thanks for sticking around!
Why dose this guy always forgets his net
Does, forget*
Well he might have took a dose which DOES make people forget sometimes....lol
He knows his shit tho , rocking the penn spin fisher and the ugly stick 🤟🏻 I use the same
Exact setups with great success . I have a penn spin fisher that’s older than me and I still land monsters with it .
Jlow your wit is out of this world
Why do u forget ur grammar
Those Bowfin are real scrappers. Wish we had them here in the West. They look like a blast to catch! Well done.
Great video. I’ve lost my only two bowfin on top water frogs bass fishing. Thanks for sharing, great editing.
Thank you. Needed this. TGIF
He went from micro fishing to catching monsters💀
I remember those day lol
@@TacticalLysol Kind of wish he mix it up a bit and go back to some of that.... the spillway/bowfin stuff is getting stale.
Thank you for good advice.. I'm a catch n release guy my self from south Texas. I've never had the opportunity to catch a bowfin but love to learn.
I had to see people do that! Good video brother!
nice vidéo again Nick , if you remember , i ask you what is the difference betweew bowfin and snakehead , those men probably don't know ! peace from Fance ^^
Snakeheads are an invasive species in the United States, originally from India I think. They have much longer heads than bowfin and have a dark brown, sort of stripped body. Here in Arkansas where I’m located, it’s illegal to keep one alive or dead. If you catch one you have to kill it immediately and call Arkansas Game and Fish Commission about where you caught it.

I like it! 👍
No he not the spill way king pigpatrolTv is
That chain link fence makes a nice rod holder. I’m thinking about packin’ a fence with me when I go fishing.👊🏻
Awesome content man! As always
It seems like in all the videos at this spillway; bowfin are the primary species being harvested. That or else he's the bowfin whisperer......
They bite on every thing
