This "ah snag...oh.. OH it's a fish!" Happened to me a couple weeks ago. Was reeling in to pack up and I had snagged up several times in this lake already. Felt like a snag, I went tugging on it to try and pop it and then it started to fight me. Ended up being a 19in rainbow trout.
Yeah man, well done! Gutted about the two you lost on the Blue Gill, they both looked to be decent fish, but that lure proved very effective. Nice one man, thanks!
Sorry on losing Bella 😔 but our pets carry our memories on too. As for the pond of giants, What a great place to re-engage one memories. 👍👍👍. Happy fishing ole friend 😎😎😎
Hey Nick, I'm a fellow Illinoisan (Rockford area) that always appreciate your videos and your love for fishing. It's cool that you are seeking giants but, one of the things that turned me on to your work was the love of fishing with less emphasis on the size of the catch. Please don't lose that. Stay cool man, love life. RIP Bella
So sorry to hear the loss of your pupster always such a hard time losing a furry friend. Hope your wonderful memories of fishing together give you some solace nick. xxxxx
Hey Nick you should do a night episode at the pond of giants. Throw a light on the side of the kayak and drop shot under yourself. Plus some illuminated lures. Love to see that episode.
@618fishing I feel for ya man… I lost my pooch (name was also Bella) when I was overseas last year. Your videos helped me out a lot. Very wholesome videos of a dude fishing. Nothing more, nothing less. Keep on keepin’ on man. 🤙🏻
Yes! Nick dropped a vid to bless us all!! I didn’t even know what to do with myself last week, but glad you took some time to yourself 🤙keep on keeping on brotha! 🎣
Cool video. Never know what you can catch in a pond or with what lure. It can sure be a surprise as you just proved. Glad to see another crazy lure challenge.
Hi Nick, I just finished binge watching ALL of your videos over the past few weeks and what can I say that won't make me sound like a broken record, lol! I really enjoyed how your videos progressed with editing/production from the very beginning all the way to the most current and I'm looking forward to watching more as you post. I'm impressed with your skills and I've learned quite a bit from watching you. I've enjoyed the funny stuff and humor at times and you actually inspired me to get some ultralight gear. Thanks for all that you do and keep up the great work with the videos! Jason from Peoria, AZ P.S. If you've never tried Berkeley's "floating mouse tail" as bait I'd recommend it. This is an artificial bait I tried most recently and had good luck with it. I caught my biggest bluegill and large mouth bass with this bait using the chartreuse/florescent orange color.
I ordered these lures and tried them out at Lake Lowell in Caldwell, Idaho this past weekend. Caught a decent 2lb largie on the black one! Love your videos, Nick. I have a newfound serious love for fishing that used to be a casual, 2-3 times a year thing. There are some monsters in the ponds around my neighborhood and I find myself going out every day now! It has done wonders for my mental health, too. Thank you for just loving fishing and celebrating all of your catches regardless of size. Also, I’m really sorry to hear about Bella. Take care!
Sorry to hear about Bella. I know it's difficult when we lose a good friend. I've got both dogs and cats - all rescue animals. Lost one of my cats 6 months ago - she was the most loving thing and gosh was she beautiful. I still think about her. I've got a little min pin - have had her for for 16 years. She used to go fishing and hiking and camping with me, but not anymore. When she goes it will be tough.
Really great video! Always look forward to your uploads.Your production, *music* and locations are always spot on and getting better. Great vibe and great fishing - love the octopus 🐙 lures! Bella 🙏
Thanks for the great fishing adventure! I always enjoy it when you go to the pond of giants, I own a pond like that and it’s always an adventure! I enjoy seeing how you fish that pond.
Great video Nick, The ending was sad to see. Being a dog lover myself i know how they can move into your heart. I once heard someone say, you have kids to raise them and teach them right from wrong so they can go out on thier own, however you get a dog for life and it is so unfortunate that theirs is not as long as ours. I feel your pain and hope all is well.
It's more painful to lose a pet than a human family member in my opinion. Something about an animals innocence and the fact that humans prepare for death. I dunno, its so much harder for me.
Nick WONDERFUL video! Sweet location, and like you mentioned those Squid bait's aren't in that area. Though when you used that Flounder lure I said to myself "he'll never catch anything on it". I was wrong! Not only did you hook up but there were some FAT Bass you caught there! Look forward to your next video! Ken & Lea
I’m so sorry for your loss. Bella will be missed. Keep up the great work and keep honoring her!
What a great fishing dog. Never underfoot but a good companion. RIP Bella.

A rainbow that feels like a snag... the different! And awesome at the same time!
I got snagged for 20+ minutes and was about to break the line when it popped out and I had a 21 inch calico bass
After swallowing a hook and being in the jaws of death twice, that poor bluegill is like "fml" kill me already. 🤣 Rock on man
Yeah I was getting invested into that poor hapless bluegill myself
Lol too funny
Best comment award!
Great fishing!!! Prayers for Bella.

Way to spoil the video nice one bro
@@UKFishingFinesse why are you in the comments without watching first?
@@davidtowery403 I’m not I’m on my phone in portrait so it shows the comment
Looks like it was a large bass
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same bass each time. Definitely big.
Sorry on losing Bella 😔 but our pets carry our memories on too. As for the pond of giants, What a great place to re-engage one memories. 👍👍👍. Happy fishing ole friend 😎😎😎
Oh so sorry for Bella. Loved the show. Thank you Nick
Great fishing day! Those octopus jigs were crazy, who’d of thunk they’d do so good. Sorry for your loss of the pup.

Oh man!! Love a new 618 Fishing episode on a rainy evening!
Hey Nick you should do a night episode at the pond of giants. Throw a light on the side of the kayak and drop shot under yourself. Plus some illuminated lures. Love to see that episode.
Hey Nick. Miss seeing your shows. Glad to see you are back. I am a disabled veteran and you inspired me to start my own show.
Sending you both hugs, love, and prayers! I'm so sorry for yalls loss. Another great vid! Thank you!
Did his daughter die?
@Angie Ball his pup passed. It shows it at the end of his vid.
@@EasyModeFishing geez.... That's soooo wrong. That'll come back to bite you in the rear end one day.
@@lastresortfishing7179 it was a honest question. I don’t know who bella is but clearly a girls name

I’ve been waiting for another video like this Nic letsss gooo 😁🎣👌
Praying we get to see the Mystery Fish in this pond this year, another banger as always my dude 🍻
Yes! Nick dropped a vid to bless us all!! I didn’t even know what to do with myself last week, but glad you took some time to yourself 🤙keep on keeping on brotha! 🎣
Aw, bummer to learn about Bella. Hope you’re doing well, Nick.
Me also
What about Bella? Who's Bella?
@@NobleKorhedron 10:26 mark of the video. Apparently, it was his dog.
Same
Nice! Savage Gear has better quality octopuses FYI. Nice work
Great video Nick. Sorry for your lost.
Yes ‼️you actually did the octopus 🐙‼️🍻 I remember suggesting that when you were using the flounder/halibut lure
That bass saw that bait struggling on the lay down and decided to help you out 😂
YESSSIRRRR!!!! My favorite fishing channel!
Cool video. Never know what you can catch in a pond or with what lure. It can sure be a surprise as you just proved. Glad to see another crazy lure challenge.
Excellent as always Nick!
Thanks for sharing Nick! So very sorry for your loss! They are our best friends!

Already ordered my set of octopus lures. Thanks for the demonstration. Great job.
Nice catches! I had the same experience, but I was way longer snagged and in the end it was an 2,20m european catfish
Was it a wels catfish?
Another great video to watch, much love to you ✌🏼sorry for your loss.
Great video!! Sorry for your loss
I've had that happen with Pike so many times! Always an amazing feeling when you realize you got something big on

He needs his own show on Netflix or something like that, awesome!!
Great video. That poor Bluegill had a really bad day!
Great stuff Nick thanks for sharing

Crazy to see those bass hitting the octopus, those were some good ones! The first one you lost looked like a huge fish. Cool video Nick🎣✌️
Sorry for your lost, take care!
That’s one stacked pond my guy! Great video by the way.
So sorry for Bella, Great fishing adventure
