I suffer from depression and see a live therapist. Kudos for you to bring this serious issue to light. Continue loving your videos and "regular guy" fishing. such a great channel
I don’t know how this channel isn’t more popular! Such good content, isn’t just lots of cuts to fish and music. Just fishing! Nice work man! And thanks for your service!
I will definitely agree with you there,whether it's rocking in a boat on the water or sitting on a ditch or lake bank for panfish,it will fore sure bring blood pressure down and mentalities up-it'll make ya smile!
I always enjoy your videos Fishinmagician, had back surgery number 5 Dec-12th got a staff infection about 2 weeks later had to be re-opened up and cleaned out. That left me with a lot of pain since. I was fishing the canals and urban lakes a lot until this situation happened. This AZ native loves canal fishing its close to home. Both the Fishinmagician, and Southwest fishing are what I enjoy watching on az fishing. Hopefully before this summer ends I'll be back at it again on the canals. Take care and God Bless!
Hey FishinMagician! You need to go to the best canals in the state!!! They’re fed by Colorado river water, they’re loaded with fish, and I’ve yet to see anyone else fishing them because they’re out in BFE!! The last time my son and I went we caught 8 smallmouth (we were targeting them), a 2.9lb and 5.0lb largemouth, 5 smaller largemouth, a 32” grasscarp (unintentionally) and 25-30 catfish. Every spot we stopped we caught something. Using minnows, worms and even bread! We were catching catfish every single cast! All decently sized fish. I’ve been three times now and every time had similar results. If you’re going to Pinal county you’re halfway there (if coming from PHX). But you really need to know where to go as there are so many spots with varying results like every canal. If you’re interested let me know and I’ll give you some locations. When I first started fishing no one would tell me where to fish and now I understand why. Once you publish a location it’s ruined. I’m convinced most fisherman give other fisherman horrible advice on where to fish. lol. I’ve found my own spots by simple trial and error. LMK. I met you once at Bass Pro, solid guy! (Both literally and metaphorically!😂😂)
heck yea im familiar with the areas down that way. the best way to find spots is trial and error! Sounds good to me feel free to shoot me an email thefishinmagician12@gmail.
Another awesome video brother. I feel encouraged to share a little personal information about my mental health and my success from my situation... Ive been on multiple types of medications, numerous councilors and institutions... Nothing seemed to really help me because most of the time, the reality was it wasnt the fact i didnt want the help but the fact i wasnt willing to change my lifestyle and do the work that is necessary to change myself. So over the years i battled everything until i finally realized it wasn't the medicine or the councilor that needed to change, but it was me. Fishing was one of those changes, being active and trying to focus on others rather than myself. Today im on zero medications and i haven't needed a counselor for 5 years and its all because i focused on me changing and doing the work to achieve freedom from my mind. ❤
Thats amazing man kuddos for being able to realize the things and changes you had to make in your life! That is the hardest part i feel like. Fishing is something that certainly helps me the most.
I like to cast my swimbait into the mouth of the spillway and let it drag along the bottom on its own with the current. That always works best for me. Fish think my lure is a dead minnow
Most people are afraid to bring up the subject of depression. I'm glad you are not. If you don't talk about it. The people who need help will not hear the discussion and maybe hear where to get the help they need. They may not be in the discussion, but they hear what is being said and get the info. Well done. Glad you are doing well. Fishing also has to help because it brings family together and let's great memories be made. Be blessed. My friend.
Hey love your videos and congrats on the sponsor! I'd encourage you to look into your sponsor a bit more though as they have a pretty spotty reputation.
Thanks! I understand some people have had unpleasant experiences with them but a lot of people have had great success. I feel like every company has their controversies but if I can even help a few people because this might be for them I will do it. Regardless of what I say if people are unsure about a company or practice they should do their own research.
I spent years on submarines, with an 18 hour rotation schedule. This created a disruption to any element of biological clock. I then had about 5 years of normal day shift work life, and now I've spent the last 22 years on nights. Night shift is NOT for everyone. It does get lonely, and I've known many people who got their lives momentarily wrecked while working the dark side. My wife has always wondered why I can fall asleep in an instant. Love your channel, BTW.
So many people I know call green sunfish bluegill it actually makes me mad lol I’m driving up to Arizona now and I’m gonna be visiting family and doing some fishing for trout I think.
The road that leads to this canal, you should have passed a girl canal that's before the free way I believe, but if you ever have a crayfish net, it's heavily filled them. Good spot to hit though, it is a drive though. I know for you it's Def a mission lol
Dude please !!! I'm from Arizona currently moved out of state but I grew up in south side by PIR And had some legendary fishing there Years ago there was a flood before when Bass were not introduced to that section of the river But one year all that changed You should check out that era Also there are some hidden ponds there if you go east there is a water treatment plant Back then we would have to go stelth to get there now I hear it's recreational If you go west there's some spots in buckeye as well check it out awesome fishing I'm sure it's even better now I hear that they made parks and rec fishing Once upon a time they used to do the tres Rios tournament there
I appreciate it man! However my time now a days is on a strict filming schedule. I do not have time to fish regularly only with other creators at this time

Depression can't hit a moving target...
Hey good thing you are seeking some help. I think it needs to be talked about more to help others. Thanks! I am pretty regular i guess lol
I don’t know how this channel isn’t more popular! Such good content, isn’t just lots of cuts to fish and music. Just fishing! Nice work man! And thanks for your service!
I appreciate that! We shooting for 50k by end of year. Thanks a ton for the kind words! 🔥
Bro this man is the GOAT,if you agree
👇
My man
If you're depressed all you need to do is go fishing.
Tell that to my mayor. If you need his number I’ll be glad to share
Better yet fish a lot to not get depressed at all.
Agreed on that!
For real. I'm at peace when fishing. Even getting skunked, I consider it a learning moment.
I will definitely agree with you there,whether it's rocking in a boat on the water or sitting on a ditch or lake bank for panfish,it will fore sure bring blood pressure down and mentalities up-it'll make ya smile!
I watched so many of your vids on my 6hour drive to Alabama to the point that I’m subscribing in this minute

Thank you sir for your service!💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My daughter is currently in the Air Force, Utah
Appreciate that, and thank her for her service!
hey bro you plan on getting some summer time trout at the salt river, any tips? i went and only got one on and it got off right at the bank
Where is that spot I really wanna fish it .I live in Avondale Arizona
I like to cast my swimbait into the mouth of the spillway and let it drag along the bottom on its own with the current. That always works best for me. Fish think my lure is a dead minnow
heck yea thats a great method also
Nice work Mark
Hi I'm new to fishing and love your channel! I'm also in Phx area let me know if I can join you. Thanks I would love to learn
I appreciate yah!
what canal is this if you dnt mind me asking? if you cant say, dont sweat it
You should fish at tres rios wetland…
Pretty cool u almost forget ur in south pheonix for a second.. inbetween avondale and Laveen
What hook did you have on for the channel cat that chomped the sunfish?
4/0 gamakatsu octopus hook
Thanks.
Green sunfish are so slept on as a bait. Theyre highly aggressive and dont get giant, so theyre perfect size and are always active as bait.
Agreed man and they live longer than bluegill (in my experience) on a hook also
100% on Betterhealth. Thanks for the canal fishing!
Yessir! No prob 🙏🏼
Where is this spot
What's the name of the stuff you wrap the bait in to stop small fish from picking at it again?
Magic thread I think he says it at the beginning
Magic thread yessir

I agree i think we have to talk more about it because exactly like you said it can help others. Fishing definitely helps a toooon
I would love to fish there where is this spill way?
I fish there everyday after work bro hell yea!👍🏽
Nice!!
Can you eat sun fish? Is there some where I can go to identify eatable fresh water fish? Great videos. Thank you for sharing and posting.
Yes you can! they are great eating but its tough finding sizable ones to eat
u are the one that inspired me and my brother to start a youtube channel 🙏
Awesome! I am happy to hear it. Don’t give up!

My Fellow Arizonian, I enjoy your content have you thought about making a video fishing in the Yuma canals
Thank you 🙏🏼 I will I’ll be soon hopefully
You had some nice fish tacos there. Or some fried hush puppies.
Yea i let em go usually in the canals because populations go quick when you keep em here. I will however keep in a big lake no problem
Not too many grocery carts in that canal.
no surprisingly lol
Try using a 2inch spoon Carolina rig

wow thats crazy. I commend you for sticking with it. my short time was enough for me to realize I just couldn't. Thanks for your support!
Do you think you could start giving us the location to these spillways?
Were there parasites on the last catfish tail
looks like it yea these guys aren't the healthiest
You need to keep a small pack of saltines. Throw one in so we can see how fast the water is moving 🇺🇸🎣🇺🇸
never heard of that haha i feel like its fairly visible here
So many people I know call green sunfish bluegill it actually makes me mad lol I’m driving up to Arizona now and I’m gonna be visiting family and doing some fishing for trout I think.
Lmao I know right haha. Heck yea enjoy the weather! But fishing is hot

fishing is best for mental health
Very agreed
How can you even stand the heat dude its been like 110 the last week or so
Gotta do it for the people! Do you stop working when it gets hot? 😂 in reality I fish early am and done by about 10 am max before it gets unbearable
I can't wait to watch the goats new video o🎉
Preciate you bro !
18:04 😂
That looks like some of those Buckeye spillways… fish at your own risk!
no sir not even near buckeye lol
Are there any fish here in AZ with teeth to be cautious of?

Dude please !!! I'm from Arizona currently moved out of state but I grew up in south side by
PIR
And had some legendary fishing there
Years ago there was a flood before when Bass were not introduced to that section of the river
But one year all that changed
You should check out that era
Also there are some hidden ponds there if you go east there is a water treatment plant
Back then we would have to go stelth to get there now I hear it's recreational
If you go west there's some spots in buckeye as well check it out awesome fishing I'm sure it's even better now I hear that they made parks and rec fishing
Once upon a time they used to do the tres Rios tournament there
Is this another secret location? Care to share?
lol a magician never reveals his secrets
