    Is it just me or does anybody else feel like this??
    when they watch Nick catch a fish close to his PB an the genuine happiness an excitement you see him have in that very moment. Puts a huge smile on your face because you just love seeing him have fun. An love his content so much..
    Btw Nick keep up the amazing work you do on these videos. I'll always keep coming back as long as you are putting out content. And there isn't anything I would want you to do better in these videos because you are just spot on 💯💯🔥cheers man.

    I love how excited Nick gets on bowfin. Those hit our bass baits all the time, my biggest was 14 lbs but I hooked one bigger than that that tore me up and got away.

      Yeah there a few good size ones in my favorite pond. Pb bowfin is 8 lb and some oz. They fight soo different from bass.. Lots of head shaking

    • @ElwoodGaming
      @ElwoodGaming Před 2 lety +3

      Nick, I've never seen a bowfin till following your channel! I live in northeast Ohio and am familiar with Walleye and Musky for the most part. Next time your out and catch another bowfin can you show the teeth on camera for those that aren't familiar with these bad boys?

    • @waltershumate5777
      @waltershumate5777 Před 2 lety

      We don't have bow fin where I'm at..
      Are they any good to eat, or just fun to catch?

  • @topsiekretts1250
    @topsiekretts1250 Před 2 lety +2

    @Nick, brother I have to tell you that, out of all of the fishing channels on CZcams, I don't think there is even one that can top you in your production! I absolutely love your music, ESPECIALLY the dobro music when you have it, and your slow motion video of your rods is even incredible! Keep up the good work! I just subscribed and hit the notification bell because I don't want to miss one episode!

  • @Lilith-Rose
    @Lilith-Rose Před 2 lety +2

    3:44 when your braid starts to get hairy like that it's time to change it out or cut back to past the damage before it gets too frayed and you end up losing a fish. Might also be worth checking your line guides and the bale arm roller for damage. I like using braid for anything over 15-20lbs for the diameter advantage (anything less then I tend to use a match grade mono or flouro for the clarity and the more forgiving stretch if your drag isn't set right) but the big drawback is the wear resistance

  • @EngineeringHooksets

    Your videos are excellent. I love watching them. The edits are so good and the close ups with music choice make for a very pleasing experience.
    That’s when I noticed at 3:45, there’s a chip in the ceramic insert on the outside of the eyelet. Keep an eye on it looks super sharp. It would be sad to lose one like that.
    Keep up the good work Nick!! 👍🏻

    @paulwolfe3709 Před 2 lety

    Here on the Mississippi river, we call the Bowfin a "dogfish", the "freshwater drum" are sheepshead, and a gar is simply a pain! I like the trick photography where he sticks a smallish fish right up to the camera, so it looks gigantic! I have done the same with a gray squirrel, so it looked like it was the size of a bear! Lol!

    @xSamWaynex Před 2 lety

    Funny bowfin story.... I was fishing once and caught a pretty small bluegill. As I was reeling it in, BOOM, birds nest from hell. A few seconds after fixing the birds nest my line went very tight, and my drag started screaming. I finally get the fish to shore and it's a very nice sized Bowfin. Not very long, but quite chunky. 28" 13.21 lbs. The bluegill had gotten lodged against the side, and was the only reason I was able to catch the fish. I pulled the Bluegill out of the Bowfin's mouth, and surprisingly the Bluegill was actually still alive haha. Took the Bluegill home and put it in my freshwater tank filled with native fish, and it lived there for almost 2 years after that Bowfin encounter.
