@@RiverCertified Damn Spenc, now you have the telegram scammers on your stuff.. I was just notified that I'm on a shortlisted list of winners..lmao.. Hope u catch a giant bro!!!
Hey Spenser. I have fished lakes in Thailand, privately-owned, where the carp can be triple what you caught in Spain. Imported Aripaima have had time to grow to 3 digits and their native Catfish can be bigger than a Goliath Grouper. Honest. It would be really great to watch you fish there !
I know those lakes you’re talking about in Thailand & I honestly hated it, too many mixes of incompatible fish species in 1 pond, it’s artificial and a lot of them don’t even let you use your own bait and gear. No way the carp in those ponds exceed the size of the wild caught carp in the Ebro river, people are landing 100+ pound/60 kg carp. I’m not flying to Thailand to catch an arapaima 10 other people caught for pay. Wild caught is best, anything else is just an insult to angler.
I caught a 40 lb Redfish 2 days ago on the Texas coast. I snagged a leader with a lead and wire surf sinker and 3 ft shark leader. My hook caught the giant ball of string that had got all tangled around the weight on the rig. I got the Redfish in and unhooked the hook that was around his jaw from the rig I snagged. Got the awesome fish free and released him. Really cool to not only snag a massive Red but also free him in much better shape than he was in before I caught him.
Just saw the sign in French and I know what you're about to do buddy, im so happy for you. That is a trip of a lifetime 100 percent, you deserve it man thanks for everything you do for the sport of fishing!
I really appreciate how the guides mostly just coached and let you guys do most everything else. I've been on and seen videos where the guides did everything but wind in the fish. To me the best guided trips are when they take you to the fish and mostly coach and let you enjoy the total fishing experience.
Congrats on the trip. Carp don't get much respect in the US but I don't mind catching them. Caught my biggest as a young teen on a windy spring day that chased us off Mississippi pool 19 and onto a little tributary creek you could cast across. Caught a 41 and a 44 just minutes apart. Stripped a reel and I stepped on a rod tip in my excitement but I couldn't have cared less. Haven't come close to those in 30 years. Got them in the teens and 20s but nothing like those two.
You lucky SOB!! Back in 2004 I had a fishing trip booked to go after the mighty wels, unfortunately I was seriously wounded in combat and had to cancel the trip.
Man as a texan i couldnt help but try some 80lb braid and a big river 10/0 or a circle hook and. Chunk of fish...any reason why theyre line is so ligjt to target a big fish?id imagine if you put the right poundage line you could put that heat on em..congrats on the trip its definitely one on my bucket list
I'm the opposite. I've only caught a catfish around 30lb, give or take a couple(no scale), but I've caught a carp that was around 50, he was huge. I've had a couple giant cats on but didn't get them in, cheap gear and bad decisions, but what can you do. I've got better gear and more knowledge now and I'm still looking for them when I can get out.
Vltava river in Prague holds quite nice cats too, if you ever stumble here, hit me up and I can show you the spots and borrow gear, as I often go spin fishing for them in the summer. They search for prey in extreme fast flowing water. Warm water in Spain really helps with the growth rate, it's not a native species there tho.
That’s why I pushed the bell icon!! One day you are in a $hitty ol’ creek and the next, you are in Spain. Did the Crock’s make it to South America last year? Love your content. You are killing it.
This is gonna be an awesome video off the rip, The catfish master goin across the globe to lay the smack down. Heck yea bud congrats on making it happen.
20 years ago I caught a 47 1/2 lb carp in the snake river. It was so big my dad had it weighed on a certified scale at the snake river truck stop. I was on the bank and it took 50 minutes to land. The whole time I thought I had a huge catfish.
Dude. I wish I was there with you!! I feel like you were wishing a 10 or 12 ot hook with ab a 1lb bait, American style! I give you props for holding your tongue!!. I was feeling the same way. Just so different then American flatheads. I feel ya!. So jealous and living though yall catching fish. Love the videos!!!
I used to chew halibut pellet to throw in as loose feed around my margin rig. Never did me any harm. They are a bit greasy though. The Ebro is on my bucket list for sure.
Awesome catches! Those Wels cats are something else. Glad you were able to do the trip and were able to provide us with something different. Mekong next???
I only got too see one forty pound Carp, growing up in central Kansas, during a raging flood , watched a guy fight it for 15 minutes, it rolledon its' side and breached out of the water, just eough too see him. Broke off. Monster common. Amazing!
I used to catch 25-30 lb carp on the Navy base in Great Lakes Illinois. We used crankbaits to piss them off when they were spawning. Not very long, but absolute footballs. If I were younger the Wels would be on my bucket list.
Congrats on the bucket list trip I was actually sitting on the side of the lake getting skunked while watching this it was the only joy I had this evening 😂
Were live pigeons an option? The video on those Wels gulping them down in France was mind blowing. Bucket list fish if there ever was one. Enjoy the trip and catch some giants.
When you said you went half way around the world I’d thought you’d be fishing in my backyard. I was guessing Southeast Asia. But going after the wels is awesome. Big ass carp wow! Looking forward to the rest of trip.
"It's like zero to nothing" is a lot like my fishing lately. Haha, what a trip, man. I hope to do a fishing tour of Europe some time. Wells catfish, some giant perch and zander, and northern ocean fishing. Maybe some native range carp in the eastern parts.
Heck yeah man, as soon as I seen the title, I knew what you were fishing for!!! I mentioned sometime earlier this year or last about if the great European wells catfish was on your list of big cats to catch. I haven't watched the video yet, but man I'm stoked!!!!!
I don't mind the Carp especially when they get twenty pounds and bigger, I caught a 28 lb'er at Wolfe Creek Dam, Lake Cumberland, but me and my Uncle had been catching Carp all that morning between 15 and 21 lbs each, I guess it was just a matter of time until someone hooked one huge Carp, at least kinda huge for there I suppose, but their probably in there a lot bigger, I mean look at Dale Hollow lake they get really really huge in there and Buff's too!
Those are some Kingsized Carp,They even look Large with the Samsquatch holding them.Could u even imagine if Josh hooked into a 40 ponder,pretty sure we would see him doing cartwheels across the bank.Hopefully you guys catch a Gigantic Wells,good luck Fellas.
OMG Spencer I have so many questions!! Are you fishing the Hebron River? Don't they use circle hooks there? Why are you using carp rigs and carp bait to catch catfish? Why aren't you cutting up the cart for bait? And why would you go to Spain to catch carp? 🤔🤔🤔
Trip of a lifetime awesome video would love to see some intentional carp fishing out of you those setups are a little over powered for them they out fight a cat most anyway in the right gear
Man I wish I had known you were coming I would have been there Spencer. Those carp do pull the wire don't they Josh will be so proud of you and great to see the Wookie having to lean into some as well and Well done your first Wells Sam
I know I don't have a clue about this kind of fishing but are yall running the bait out with the boat instead of just casting?? Either way really cool video as always keepem coming brother!!!
The Ebro? Home of the biggest Wels and Carp too probably! Oh yeah, forgot, there's another river, in France? I think? That grows big big Wels too, isn't there?
Congrats on making a dream trip come true. Well deserved 😎👍.... Wow what crazy huge carp 😮 Waitin for your next vid to see more of these monster cats 🤩
Awesome video man! You always have great content, never a dull moment. A trip to Spain would definitely be awesome! You’ll definitely have to go again! And i’m guessing you’ve been watching more Flair?🤣 You used the word “beefcake” quite a bit😂🤙🏼
I appreciate the compliments to mono 😂😂😂 glad your seeing the light
That's awesome that you are able to follow your passion of fishing like this and thank you for bringing us along keep it up brother
Thanks man. Hope you enjoyed it!
Yes I did and can't wait for the next one
@@RiverCertified Damn Spenc, now you have the telegram scammers on your stuff.. I was just notified that I'm on a shortlisted list of winners..lmao.. Hope u catch a giant bro!!!
@@RiverCertifiedwhat type of spinning rods are those.
What an amazing opportunity to fish for the wells catfish!! You're living the dream Spencer!!!💯🔥🔥🔥
I'm a lucky guy foe sure. Hope you enjoy all the videoa!

Basque, original spanish language

What a spectacular trip. Interesting view on a different countries fishermens view on fish. Thanks Spencer.
You should go to the Ebro dam Formax river camp to fish for catfish on lures there they grow over 200 pounds
Lucky !!! Man that is awesome. Glad you were able to make the trip. I know there are alot of people like myself that dream about going.
Thanks man! Hope you get to go one of these days!
The Wels look like a burbot that mated with some kind of catfish, cool critters 👍
Dude you nailed it
I need one of those dual rod holders! I like the tripod idea! Especially where it’s rocky shoreline.
Congrats on the trip. Carp don't get much respect in the US but I don't mind catching them.

Iowa fisherman here. Love your show man. You are absolutely living thee dream. Keep it up!
What a nice surprise to see you going on this fishing trip of a lifetime. Enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next one.
Have a great rest of your trip and thank you as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
Awesome trip dude! I’m very impressed with how much effort they put into fish care there! Cool fish!
Thanks man! It is way different over there.
I'm the opposite. I've only caught a catfish around 30lb, give or take a couple(no scale), but I've caught a carp that was around 50, he was huge.

Dude that's a freakshow of a carp!
I have been WAITING for this video!! This is a dream of mine, watching you live it is almost as good as being there myself!
Well deserved to say the least, thanks for taking us along Spencer! Absolute pleasure as always Sir, im awaiting the next episode !
Thanks man! The fish only keep getting bigger!

Warm water in Spain really helps with the growth rate, it's not a native species there tho.
Awesome Vid! Can't wait to see a Wells catfish catch n cook?!?!
I wanted to. We caught the perfect eater one day, but you have to get a separate license to keep them. Never made it back to town to buy one.
You are my hero man!! Stash catching 50 pound flats in tiny creeks, now Spencer is catching wels. Hope YOU catch a giant
That’s why I pushed the bell icon!! One day you are in a $hitty ol’ creek and the next, you are in Spain. Did the Crock’s make it to South America last year? Love your content. You are killing it.
Haha thanks man. The crocs didn't last year, but they will be going on the next trip coming up soon.
JEALOUS!! Thanks for sharing your experience!
This is gonna be an awesome video off the rip, The catfish master goin across the globe to lay the smack down. Heck yea bud congrats on making it happen.

River Certified. The Movie.
This is great.
It felt like a movie by the time I was done editing it haha. Hope you enjoyed it man!
I used to chew halibut pellet to throw in as loose feed around my margin rig. Never did me any harm. They are a bit greasy though.
The Ebro is on my bucket list for sure.
I'll have to remember that haha. Hope you get the chance to get out there!
Awesome catches! Those Wels cats are something else. Glad you were able to do the trip and were able to provide us with something different. Mekong next???
Finally a fish that looks huge when Sam holds it up 😂!

What I trip of a lifetime man. Well done sir.
Thanks a ton man. I'm pretty freaking lucky!
Fab video. Who were the tour guys. Impressed. Looked very professional.
Congrats on the bucket list trip I was actually sitting on the side of the lake getting skunked while watching this it was the only joy I had this evening 😂
Thanks man. I hope you still enjoyed getting on the water.
Always
Take that josh! Carp king dethroned
😆😆😆
Simply outstanding! Love that you got to make that trip. So exciting. Loving the videos. Josh will be jealous of the Carp. Lol.
Spencer and Sam becoming Carl the carp slayers? Looking guard to the next episode of this adventure. Anyway another great video. Thanks for sharing!
It was definitely a day of carp. Hope you enjoy them all man!
Were live pigeons an option? The video on those Wels gulping them down in France was mind blowing. Bucket list fish if there ever was one. Enjoy the trip and catch some giants.
Congratulations on your bucket list trip. Waiting to see you’re catch and cook video! Because I know you’re hungry😂

That looks like a heck of a fun trip! Glad you guys had a fun time.
It was! Thanks man!
So stoked to see another "field trip".
Ps...thank you for sparing us the Sam plumbers crack
Good on ya, Spencer. Glad y'all taught them how to do it. Again, you know Sam is the star, right?
I don't mind the Carp especially when they get twenty pounds and bigger, I caught a 28 lb'er at Wolfe Creek Dam, Lake Cumberland, but me and my Uncle had been catching Carp all that morning between 15 and 21 lbs each, I guess it was just a matter of time until someone hooked one huge Carp, at least kinda huge for there I suppose, but their probably in there a lot bigger, I mean look at Dale Hollow lake they get really really huge in there and Buff's too!
You definitely live in prime carp territory. I've heard a couple people mention big ones down there.
What a great experience. Those carp are huge. Josh is pretty jealous I'm sure. Lol
He pretended he wasn't, but I know better haha
The intense samsquanch battle face needs to be a decal. Even if a limited run 😆😆
Next up: Mekong delta for those 500-600lb Mekong cats 😂
looked great nice fish with good freinds , looking forward to more.
Dam Spencer we’ve got carp that big on the Cedar river here in Iowa
I'm sure there's some dandies over there
That’s the river I fish. Cedar has everything!
One day I caught one, swear it was the size of a baby dolphin, could’ve jumped on him and rode it around
Finally!! I knew immediately from the thumbnail!! Hope you catch a giant, Spencer, as always
Thanks a ton Mark!
Always enjoy the videos thanks for sharing
Absolutely. I'm glad ya enjoy em.
Congratulations on this awesome trip still watching at this time Chris just got the first Wells. color me green with envy
Thanks man. I couldn't have asked for better fishing.
DUUUUUUUDE!!!!!! Sick trip! Congrats on being able to experience all of that awesomeness. When are you going back to the Amazon!? 😮
Saw the length and said, gotta watch this on the big screen, gonna be a good one.
Hell yeah man!
Awesome fish! My biggest Iowa carp is only 18lbs so far. I can't imagine one double that
Wels are incredible fish, nice to see you got to check off some bucket list fun! Have a glass of some Rioja for me 🤙
Thank you kindly sir. Not sure what rioja is, but there might not be any beer left in Spain after we left😆
@@RiverCertified it’s good red wine, beer is good too 👍
Loved it!!!
Thanks mom!
Those are some Kingsized Carp,They even look Large with the Samsquatch holding them.Could u even imagine if Josh hooked into a 40 ponder,pretty sure we would see him doing cartwheels across the bank.Hopefully you guys catch a Gigantic Wells,good luck Fellas.
Haha I had that thought about Josh a time or two on this trip. Thanks man, I hope you enjoy them all!
Cool deal right there, I was waiting for Ty pig patrol to come walking down the bank and say the big fish are over there. Lol
Haha he was supposed to go but bailed
I can imagine the accommodations were a tad bit fancier than the trip to the Amazon.
We even had a stove and grill. Cooked a few bomb meals. Will's a hell of a chef.
Wouldn't have guessed Austin's guiding in Spain! Cool.
OMG Spencer I have so many questions!! Are you fishing the Hebron River? Don't they use circle hooks there? Why are you using carp rigs and carp bait to catch catfish? Why aren't you cutting up the cart for bait? And why would you go to Spain to catch carp? 🤔🤔🤔
Wooooo doggy, congrats on getting to pursue such an amazing trip such as this. Bucketlist trip for me too
Thanks a ton Mark!
Love the Cubs footage!!
Glad ya do!
I remember asking you if you'd ever head to Spain... last year already? Happy to see you got there!
No better time than now haha.
That's definitely the bucket list fish for me
Where is water there are fish, have fun!
Thank you from us guys that'll never do that. I've caught a 40.1 Common.
Trip of a lifetime awesome video would love to see some intentional carp fishing out of you those setups are a little over powered for them they out fight a cat most anyway in the right gear
Love the video! And it's just like fishing in the US, just walk away from your poles or get busy doing something else and you'll get a hit.
You ain't wrong. It's like the fish know haha
I would have had to throw an 8/0 circle hook on just to show them the true way lol
Can't wait to see the next one man. My dream right there.
Been waiting for this since mentioned on podcast!! Didn't realize Samsquatch was coming with you.
That was really cool! Wish it was me there with the gang getting it done! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it! I definitely recommend making the trip!
Man I wish I had known you were coming I would have been there Spencer.
Those carp do pull the wire don't they Josh will be so proud of you and great to see the Wookie having to lean into some as well and Well done your first Wells Sam
If I ever make it back that direction I definitely will. I kinda just wanted to focus on the experience the first time around.
I know I don't have a clue about this kind of fishing but are yall running the bait out with the boat instead of just casting?? Either way really cool video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Spencer you should hook up when one of the fox guys and go catch a 50 plus pound mirror carp.
Love this video!
Thanks sweetcheeks😁
Cool video Spencer! What is the main forage species for wels?
Thanks man. I'll be honest, I'm still not sure. Probably carpin and rudd.
Cool trip
Very nice fish fellas
Thanks man!
I hope the next video shows you catch some gaint Williams!!! Didn't care too much for Charles but hey, what can you do...
I get that man. They only get bigger from here haha
way to go spencer! your killin the game!!!
Thanks man. I'm definitely pretty freaking lucky!
The Ebro? Home of the biggest Wels and Carp too probably! Oh yeah, forgot, there's another river, in France? I think? That grows big big Wels too, isn't there?
Yes, yes, and yes haha
Wells Catfish? WITHIN 45 seconds. Lol
Only regret I have from my time in Spain is I didn’t connect with a guide and chase the big wels cats there. Caught plenty of smaller ones and Zander.
Hopefully the opportunity presents itself down the road man
Nice video man always love your videos keep up the good work and go catch some more Giants for us and stay safe
Amazing video Spencer!! Tight lines!!!
Glad ya enjoyed it man!
Congrats on making a dream trip come true. Well deserved 😎👍.... Wow what crazy huge carp 😮
Waitin for your next vid to see more of these monster cats 🤩
Thanks a ton man! The cats just keep getting bigger and bigger!
Thats awesome man, definitely looked like a trip of a lifetime
It definitely was. I'm a lucky guy.
That is awsome it is on my bucket list
Outstanding! Can't wait to see what's next!
cool content !
I could be wrong but 'Merica has zillions of carpinski fishys and ain't no one fishing for them .... bigguns too
Glad ya enjoyed it. You definitely aren't wrong.
Awesome video man! You always have great content, never a dull moment. A trip to Spain would definitely be awesome! You’ll definitely have to go again! And i’m guessing you’ve been watching more Flair?🤣 You used the word “beefcake” quite a bit😂🤙🏼
Thanks man! I didn't even connect the dots with the "beefcake" statements. I guess Flair isn't wrong haha
