I love b-roll shots when they set up a camera and walk away to signify traveling to a new scene bc all I think about is you had to walk back for that cam lmfao
Watching you put the catfish rod inbetween your legs, and reel it in while still trying to manage the fish was so comedic, and reminds me of some of the moments ive had fishing
@@zhaminoes5830 yep i did grass carp (asian carp) are not the common carp lol thanks i had a guy tell me he read grass carp are naturalized now so i looked it up must have pulled up the article on common carp by mistake thanks bud
This one time I was wading and thought I hooked a monster. As I was fighting it, it surfaced about 15 feet away. His tail smacked the water, that’s when I realized it was a huge beaver. I carefully got it as close as I could and cut the line. I saw him swim over to the shore. I think he was okay, poor guy.
Simple Man had one get really pissed at me last trip out. Hooked into a solid 4lber, it must have ran into the beaver because I damn near had my rod rip out of my hands. As my fish surfaced the beaver surfaced too and gave a big angry tail slap on the surface. That was good of you to try to limit the amount of line you left on the beaver.
I hooked a seagull in mid flight while mackerel fishing, just cast as usual and saw the lure and gull collide. Luckily it just got hooked into the wing feathers. It dropped straight into the sea and I managed to reel it in and release it ! Mad thing was its distress calls summoned a bloody horde of others, it was like a scene from the birds.
When spillway is running fast, drifting bait works really well for big cats. And from what I keep hearing, asian carp are good eating if you clean them fast and get them on ice.
Been catching whites up there right where you started should be picking up soon. Red with green tail crappie jig has been hitting mostly with a few on green or white curly tail grub.
Never fished for cats there. Most of the people fishing for cats are down below the booies. Went today and mygirlfriend and I the hall was white bass 15
DUDE!! What a day!! Well done for putting it up, shows character. I feel for you. I’m working through your catalogue in reverse and love seeing how great you’ve become at fishing. Keep doing what your doing, it’s a ray of light and happiness for me during these hard COVID 19 times👍❤️ thankyou
The last time I fished this spillway I caught a very large gar and a carp, my girlfriend caught several hybrid striped bass, crappie, walleye, flathead catfish and others I couldnt identify and I had to bait her hooks and take the fish off the hook and clean the fish once we got home. Oh and im not complaining! Any day fishing is a great day!
I fished Purdy Slough, Long Lake, Horseshoe Lake and Wick's Lake in Washington State. My PB is: swim goggles, large orange starfish c.1kg, several skulpins smaller than my Mepps, multiple mollusks, kelp. Lots of lost lures. edit -that's not my PB. It's literally all I've ever caught. I enjoy the sport, but I am bad at it.
This spillway is my home lake/spillway grew up fishing it and still do to this day. always a fun time out there. it always a surprise on what kind of fish you catch there. overall an awsome lake!
That's why it's called fishing and not catching. I love that you even post not such good days. I at least know that I'm not the only one with trips like that.
You also inspired me to try an ultralight set up! My first time i caught a fish on it was a 17" Michigan Steelhead, and what a fight on 5lb braid! Thank you for all the content, I cant wait for the next video.
We were the ones who caught the catfish, just based on the title. Until that carp showed, I was waiting for a rubber boot or a Michelin tire to come up.
So...I'm not seeing the problem. You went fishing, hooked a really big fish, had a great time bringing it in.... and even landed it! Oh boohoo, it was a carp. This is not a disaster. You got some good footage, had fun bringing her in, and you have some great bait. If you get adventuresome, carp is actually pretty good eating. Hey, maybe catching this carp was the essential first step in the epic battle you'll have with a record breaking Channel Cat in the future
Hahaha Oh my god I laughed so hard when you trample on the big fish head! that was so hilarious to see how to end these life of evasive specie. I feel your love for the native fish, and also feel you show no mercy of the alien fish!
Yeah l had a dudes Boxer get in my line yesterday. Fish were not biting. Dogs were up in my business. Finally left and hit a pond. Biggest Bass of the season. That said, the fish stomp was epic. Keep on, keeping on brother.
That's why they call it fishing. Otherwise they'd call it catching. Hey at least your out there trying. Good time buddy. Thanks for taking us with you.
This spillway reminds me of a very popular one out here in Manitoba. Loads of pelicans, loads of big carp, drum and of course monsters cats! Average size here is 35”
Maybe make and place strategically some neoprene bumpers on your camera for excursions like this. If it falls again then it will have some protection. Hope it works, and thanks for the excellent video footage.
i wanna know how you film your videos. in some you have a bunch of cool footage from drones or tripods far away or just other really cool shots. so i wanna know, when you make a video, in what order do you film? like b roll first, other shots and thennnn fishing or what? i just love the cinematic stuff and wanna know how you do it:) keep it up!!
If you ever have the chance to go to Crab Orchard Spillway outside of Carbondale IL, in Williamson County, it's a really nice spot! If you do, it would be awesome to get an opportunity to fish that spot with you to see what we could catch, me and my girlfriend are big fans of your videos man! From the 618 myself!
That spillway is Carlyle spillway in southern Illinois I live about 30-45 minutes away when I normally go there I see Asian carp gar and catfish I've heard and seen a flathead about 30-40lbs pulled out of there it's good to accidentally snag carp to if your trying to use a lure
I do quite a bit of bowfishing and I ran into an older gentleman with a stringer full of channel fiddlers, long story short he wanted to trade me fish for fish for the silvers we had gotten that evening. he asked what we did with them and we said we take some photos and then sink them and he said if you cube them up and Can them in a pressure cooker it's the best eating you'll have.
Carlyle lake in Carlyle Illinois go to the dam east or dam west access and you'll be where he's at and the path he couldn't walk down goes all the way to a suspension bridge that crosses the Kaskaskia by an electric company
That's cool! This is the 1st time I've been able to recognize right where your fishing. I live about an hour and 20 minutes South, and just a little bit East of their.
i’ve been going back looking at like videos you posted almost a year ago and just watching them, i’m so bored and can’t fish much because i’ve been busy
Cool vid , those asain carp are the worst killing off everything and every water way they get into ,props on killing it. As usuall can't wait till next . Glad your camera still works.
I just discovered you recently my dude. LOVE..the videos..I'm a huge fishermen..but my forte..is trout..I know u fish for all..but trying to broaden my horizons ..but..if I had to critic..I personally would like u to share more on how ur fishing,what bait,n the best advice you can give. Not a tutorial....but info on what u Do!! Keep fishing strong my bother!! Definitely enjoy the videos.
It can be real hit or miss unless you know where to go. I've had good days and not so good days out there. I hesitate to put it all here because then that place will be inundated with hungry fisherman. I also hesitate to put my contact info here. How do we connect?
Hey Nick. Love this channel and the content. Very well put together, great enthusiasm and very professional sound and videography. I just wish you would slow down a bit sometimes and explain and show your rig and bait. Always looking for tips. I wanna learn besides enjoying watching your catches
I love b-roll shots when they set up a camera and walk away to signify traveling to a new scene bc all I think about is you had to walk back for that cam lmfao
This dude gets paid to make these videos it's his job, attention to detail
I tried it once and I couldn’t take myself seriously knowing I was about to just turn around and re walk it all 🤣
No matter what happens, I truly enjoy watching you fish. Thanks for keeping a smile on our faces.
Even though you were disappointed, my two year old loved watching you catch another big fishy.
When I saw him reeling in that pole between his legs I couldn't help but bust out laughing
"Mommy, what's that funny man doing near his crotch area?"
Fairly new subscriber here and not sure of you could make the trip. But the Chickamauga dam in Chattanooga Tennessee produces large catfish
Watching you put the catfish rod inbetween your legs, and reel it in while still trying to manage the fish was so comedic, and reminds me of some of the moments ive had fishing
Mad skills!!😆👍
@5:25 Clearly a Master Baiter... You know experienced with 2 poles. Sorry had to do it xD
“See ya Buddy”
-fades to black-
*stomps head*
lmfao.... this is to much!!!
See ya later buddy
You eliminated THOUSANDS of future asian carp, so...I say win.
They aren’t a invasive species anymore they are a naturalized species now
Tyler R They are still an invasive species.
A) They aren't naturalized
B) Even if they were, that don't mean they aren't still a threat.
@@tyrenner I think you're confusing Asian carp with common carp

Man those beavers are no joke.. I’d rather hook an Asian carp than one of those any day
I kill beavers that are my pond

It dropped straight into the sea and I managed to reel it in and release it ! Mad thing was its distress calls summoned a bloody horde of others, it was like a scene from the birds.
Simple Man beavers are very invasive and destructive to most habitats, even if the beaver didn’t survive, it’s okay

Right when your camera hit the ground, it sounds like your GoPro also developed some sound issues...
Dude has the patience of a saint .... I would’ve lost my mind if I dropped my camera..✊🏾
I wouldve been a lot more vocal if that was my camera!
Daniel Hopper I couldn’t speak... I guess I got lucky though.. it looks like it came about 1/2” from landing on a big rock
@@618Fishing you need a wider tripod.
@@axorex or a cameraman, Lol.
When cooked right the asian carp is absolutely delicious but I am sure it would work as bait too. Catfish really will eat anything.
5 lb carp=2 lbs slime yukkkk
“I’m gonna fillet this guy” *proceeds to steak it*
I think it’s great that you show your bad days as well as your good ones and all of them are entertaining
We need to catch more of them and they work good as fertilizer in the garden to.

Looks like we are going to have another fun season of floods.
Maybe just a carp, Nick, but what an epic battle! That's what fishin' is all about, y'all!
Bruh I've never seen someome curb stomp a fish like that lmfao. Nice
Savage :-)
Ngl wasn’t expecting that lol
Well said!
I’m so glad you added you reeling in the second pole one more time it was much more funnier the second time around

vapormissile sounds like you need to fish in the deeper water maybe
I like the way u hold the one rod n reel in the other classic been there done that. God speed bud
Glad to see you actually wore your rain gear this time. A fish is a fish. Better than a skunk.
hey i had no idea you lived near lake carlyle id love to show u some spots around that area
I go to Carlyle all the time. When I’m going for catfish I catch a carp and use the guts and put it on the hook it works fast!!!
Tough day of fishing right there. Way to grind it out though man, and like you said, great bait day.
Dude... I freaking love you. It is like having a day with your best fishing buddy, when watching you.. ur da BEST😊👍

First comment! Thanks for all your great videos, you have me more motivated to fish for new species and spots to fish. Keep em coming!
T F hey thank you I appreciate you watching!
You also inspired me to try an ultralight set up! My first time i caught a fish on it was a 17" Michigan Steelhead, and what a fight on 5lb braid!
Thank you for all the content, I cant wait for the next video.
What rod is paired with your silver catfish reel?
Your videos keep me going man!! Love the realism.
What reel do you use on your catfish rod? I like the Shimano Calcutta 700's but I like the look of your reel.
Holy cow! Nick with the curb stomp!
We were the ones who caught the catfish, just based on the title.
Until that carp showed, I was waiting for a rubber boot or a Michelin tire to come up.
So...I'm not seeing the problem.
You went fishing, hooked a really big fish, had a great time bringing it in.... and even landed it!

618 lovely fishing ☝👍
First: love the channel.
Second: starting at 5:20 through 5:32ish- I couldn't stop laughing.
Now I need to watch the rest of the video...
So, why was this a $3,000 fail? I thought you had caught a protected species or something. It was a Asian Carp. I am told they are edible fish.
PCShogun camera fell over
bad day of fishing beats a good day of anything else
Love your commitment nick, no matter how rough fishing or the weather is you always stick it out and that is why I love this channel so much.
I live by this spillway. There’s a lot of good fish in there. Unfortunately a lot of Asian carp
Is this near Carlyle ill?
Where is this spillway?
Yeah l had a dudes Boxer get in my line yesterday. Fish were not biting. Dogs were up in my business. Finally left and hit a pond. Biggest Bass of the season. That said, the fish stomp was epic. Keep on, keeping on brother.
That's why they call it fishing. Otherwise they'd call it catching. Hey at least your out there trying. Good time buddy. Thanks for taking us with you.
What’s your setup on your catfish lines? I’m from Staunton and I’m thinking about hitting up some of these spillways you’re going to as well.
Is the black reel a quantum smoke?
You should get some big spoons for fishing like 1-2 oz with big treble hooks and cast way out in the spillway and catch the asan carp.
You need to post your best day ever
Love your videos man! Even though you're not trying to teach I've learned a ton from your videos!

Are you in Canada? 2 rods are not permitted in any areas as far as I know!?
It's really amazing to see you everyday time love you videos brother

Good catch. One of our best sporting fishes. Always exciting to catch. Great eating also. And yes youcan make catfish bait with it also.
The World Thanks You for doing that man
Where are u finding these big rivers in southern Illinois ? Or are they just fast flowing creeks that come off the lakes ?

Man ive fished that spillway before and tried out a little crappie jig to, it just rose to the top though and never did anything lol.
I guess it's a good thing a game warden didn't walk up behind you when you we reeling in your second rod😳 Might have had some explaining to do😁
I fish at that spot a lot , you can have multiple rods 😁
To clarify! It's about the hand motions he was making and how it would look from behind🙄 It has nothing to do with the number of rods👍
Fish there all the time. Asian carp are fun to catch I think. They put up a good fight. I’ve caught some well over 3ft long in those spots.
I was thinking a snagged carp. That happens a lot in spillways. I noticed that no one else was at the spillway, so I knew no bit was on.
The GH5 is a great camera. I have used one, but am not an owner. I have the G80/85. It is really good for the price.
Is this Carlyle lake?
Carp actually taste very good! Only problem is the Y bones but they are easy to pull out
I wish u would do more of Carlyle spillway we go down there every weekend fishing was not good this year water wise they kept lowering it and rising
