I've never watched RUclips until I found your channel. I've been pouring through episodes like a fiend the past week. Bravo man, dig your positivity, doesn't matter if the fish has weight or is a three inch sun fish. Your stoke is contagious!
Honestly, at first, I used to not like your videos. Now I'm addicted. As all the other youtubers fizzle out, you stay the same! I appreciate that! Not selling out to gear or sponsers. You keep it real! Keep the videos coming!
Wasn't that long ago when you'd be super happy catching fish no longer than your thumb, in a tiny creek 6 inches deep. The tiny lure challenges and little pieces of hot dog. I've been watching you a longtime now. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the video Nick! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nick, im genuinely grateful for you because you picked up the trash. This makes you a very respectable person in my eyes, but you as a youtuber you also promote it towards your viewers. THANK YOU.
This episode was great. Loved it when the bait fish jumped out the bucket. You have a knack at throwing your circle net for bait. Shame this episode wasn't longer I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
It was a very nice day. Such a green country place. No people around. I could smell the fresh air from here. You are lucky to live that life, mate. Good on you.
just subscribed. I love these vids. I fish 150 plus days per year however I never fish spillways. These are so fun to watch. I love your attitude and your style. Your cinematography is getting REALLY good. Keep it up
Nick reminded me of years ago when I took my 3 year old to the Vancouver Aquarium. She kept looking at all the fish and saying, “Holy Cow.” It wasn’t even an expression we used, so it cracked me up. Fish on Buddy.
Nice catch. We don't have gar, bowfin or some of the other species that you catch out here in California so because of you and other youtubers I get to see something new. Thanks!
My Dad was a Great fishermen, he'd catch fish when no one else around was. He loved fishing on a rock dam in the Mississippi in Iowa when we'd go there to visit family. He would sein a creek and get what he called chub minnows up to about 4" long. He'd fish the spillway in the middle and catch enormous cats-I think channel cats up to about 30+#. I enjoy your vids, Thanks!
I just started watching about a month ago, all I gotta say is this is my new favorite fishing Chanel. Love your videos because it cuts almost all the bs and gets right to fishing and you actually catch giants. Hope more people start watching!
Is it just me or do you respect nick so much more now that u saw him picking up trash. I imagine him doing this every video but what makes him great is that he doesn’t post it is the video bc he is not doing it for the video he is doing it for the world. Keep it up nick and stay safe. 😀
You're a true sportsman, son. If everybody would just throw the trash that's within reach into a bag, and carry it out, our creeks would be a hell of a lot cleaner, and quickly.
I'm loving the new intro songs as of late. They set the mood in such a way that we can tell you're about to catch some spillway monsters and then after that, you're going to confront the head of the local mafia and "talk him down". Seriously though, thanks for the great content! Watching your vids gets me psyched to go catch some monsters at the lake; I caught my first blue catfish (10 lbs) a couple weeks ago!
Im new to the channel and this whole spillway thing is so new to me. I live in Florida so I'm so use to going deep sea fishing or dock fishing. Love your vids though!
@@618Fishing I wish I was back in Nebraska where the fishing was good and the land was beautiful..the south is low blow as far as fishing and really everything else. I love your videos man, the music you include in them are really great and so powerfully emotional. Keep fishing man and stay safe👍
Man I'm always impressed with your videos. We know how hard it is to make videos with two of us, could not imagine doing it alone. Great editing, as well as the shooting, and your on camera performance for that matter. Thanks for the video.
A few years back on a 3 day holiday weekend here in NM USA, we had set up bank fishing close mirror to yours, running out of worms, walked about 10 feet to 4X4 to get worms, gentle giant game & fish $50.00 ticket, leaving pole unattended, hmm no fish caught that day, bummer, bummer, great video, THANKS!
Another excellent video!! How you don't have a million subs yet is beyond me. You obviously have a good following and you will get there. Keep up the great content!
Those Pflueger reels are so nice for the money. They're so well balanced, smooth, and they're fairly cheap. I have a 500 sized Pflueger for my ultralight and a 2500 for my medium action. I've caught some nice sized smallmouth on the 2500 with absolutely NO problems.
Rivers in Minnesota are very low also. Unless something happens with the rain we are going to have extremely low water levels. I'm waiting for one river to start pooling up, that will be unheard of and a great day for fishing.
Hey man, just want to give you a complement. Your videos keep getting better and better. Love the juicy catches. Keep up the good work. You're slaying.
Nick you’re awesome to watch and I look forward to your next video. I wish you would go more into your tackle set ups though. Keep up the good works brother. Tight lines >-))))>
You say the same things every video. But you make up for it by being an awesome fisherman that’s making it big in crappy Illinois. Keep it up. Love the channel.
Today grandpa (he has memory loss and he doesn’t remember how old me or my brother are) me and my brother fishing I’m 19 and my brother is 22 but he thinks we’re 9 and 12 but it’s so wholesome and fun being with him even if he doesn’t know my age
I finally caught my first sturgeon now I've got other bucket list fish to catch bowfin and gar are on that list, I'll have to go fishing with you one day and hopefully catch me some cause they're not in my area not that I'm aware of
@@Itsaarcty I live in the Pacific northwest Washington state to be exact. If I'm traveling from here to Illinois I may as well meet up with one of my favorite RUclips fisherman, especially since we both have similar fishing styles, meaning more than 1 line in the water and worm and bottom fishing, beyond that I can learn some editing trick's and hacks from him for my channel. I'm spending the summer building up footage of my better catches to have something to post all winter long when most bodies of water in my area are closed to fishing.
@@southernstormoutdoors4006 I do plan on traveling after this summer in my area most bodies of water close for fishing during the winter. So I'll definitely take anyone up on an offer to go fishing.
Wow that is absolutely amazing for a small spillway. The amount of fish you caught in a short amount of time is crazy. Even if they are dog fish as we call them up north. Great video.
You surprising don’t lose a lot of fish which is great 👍 for your videos it’s funny because bowfin are really trash fish but hey one mans trash is another mans treasure but also I live in Florida so I am spoiled when it comes to fishing 40 pound redfish and 10+pound bass constantly!! I really like your enthusiasm that’s why I watch your video’s
These vids never get old, and they never will. You just never know what is in a spillway. Keep it up dude.

I know I'm not the only one who can't wait to see the next micro fishing series! I'm just enjoying these spillway videos and waiting patiently.
I love those
I went through a period where I used only a micro tube jig
I caught some very big fish and many species from trout to bowfin
You should have a meet and greet sometime, if I was in the area I would totally come
Micah Shaul c o r o n a v I r u s
In the future maybe he should, not rightnow with corona
Yeah, that’s why I said sometime, like when all this stuff ends and everything is good
Where this place??
A lot of weirdos out their.
Who else likes the vids before watching cuz they already know it gonna be a banger
Same I love his videos
Everytime time my dude cause like you said the vid it's gonna be a banger lol
Agreed. Every time.
Who wants to see a tackle video? Rod reels line etc... I know I do
yep
Thank you Nick it's nice to see a fellow fishermen picking up a little trash while he's fishing

Dude your B-roll footage is probably the best I've seen out of all these fishing channels, keep up the good work

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your intro music! Glad you are posting who does it. Love your vids!
I love that feeling of leaning back to set the hook and fish pulls you forward.
Raise your hand if you love hearing the drag peel!! 🙋♂️🙋♀️
Addicted Fishing best sound ever

Download Fishbrain that’s their notification sound
Peter Griffin ROBLOX I was coming back from fishing and heard the notification go off on my phone and I was like did i just hook a fish 😂
I just started watching about a month ago, all I gotta say is this is my new favorite fishing Chanel. Love your videos because it cuts almost all the bs and gets right to fishing and you actually catch giants. Hope more people start watching!
I wait for these videos like a kid for presents on Christmas morning! Thanks Nick
Haha thanks Brian!
I remember seeing this guy when he was like 20K subscribers and now seeing him. I love his videos and watch every single one.
Nice!!! What a great mixed bag of fish. So much fun when you don't know what you might hook into. Great video! 🎣
I love how you care about the environment and pickup other people's garbage keep up the good work
It’s refreshing to see a RUclipsr that doesn’t exclusively fish for bass, as awesome as they are, they can get repetitive.
Thanks for picking up trash. Watch a lot of videos on here and I appreciate it when I see ya do that. Glad you got a few fish and had fun 😁
Is it just me or do you respect nick so much more now that u saw him picking up trash. I imagine him doing this every video but what makes him great is that he doesn’t post it is the video bc he is not doing it for the video he is doing it for the world. Keep it up nick and stay safe. 😀
Liked the fishing, loved the badass song and the sweet butterfly footage!
I can't get enough of the spillway series.
You're a true sportsman, son. If everybody would just throw the trash that's within reach into a bag, and carry it out, our creeks would be a hell of a lot cleaner, and quickly.
Favorite fishtuber😀 men I watched every part of your movies, and I still want more😀
Awsome man, I watch all your videos, absolutely enjoy them, just want to say thank you and cant wait for the video!!
Kudos to you for picking up other peoples laziness. I always carry bags for the same purpose.. keep doing your part buddy.. great video.

Nick you are very skilled with that cast net,perfect circles.
Nick,
You always have the greatest content and video filler,of course thats in addition to the awesome fishing 🎣 footage.
Good equipment for fishing, Congratulations this place is amazing has beautiful fish.
Hug and good fishing always.👍
I really don't like any of the species he's catching but I can't stop watching his videos. LOL!!
I love your videos so much you need to go to the Mississippi River and fish plz do a video on that
I do the same thing when fishing. Pick up other dirtbags garbage. Good man. Great angler. Awesome video 🎣👍🏻🤘🏼🤙🏻
Luv ur videos man your such and inspiration to me. Great video spillway king!
I love the editing and quality of these videos keep them up, they are awesome!!!!!!
Looks like a nice spot.. some really nice bowfin too. They put up a really good fight. Never seen the green in them like that before.
Im new to the channel and this whole spillway thing is so new to me. I live in Florida so I'm so use to going deep sea fishing or dock fishing. Love your vids though!
Thanks for watching Jonah!

who else is confused on the neon blue bowfin
Maybe it ate a popsicle before being caught 😅
It is bc it is in spawn
Males turn that color when it’s breeding season
@@xanderpeterson1090 The 618 Commandant, said it was. Pre-historic fish.
It's because he only eats the blue sour patch kids when spawning
Man I'm always impressed with your videos. We know how hard it is to make videos with two of us, could not imagine doing it alone. Great editing, as well as the shooting, and your on camera performance for that matter. Thanks for the video.
Thanks I appreciate it man!
That beard is the icon of 618 fishing

Your filming skills have improved drastically!! Keep up the great content
Bowfin get such crazy colors on them. They are pretty cool fish. Nice video.
😍 THE DRAG SOUND! 🎣 WAS AWESOME!
Love your vids they teach me a lot about fishing
My favorite channel on YT!
Thanks Joe!
Thanks for picking up trash. That’s why I would watch 618 Fishing more than some other fishing channels. Nick cares!
Another excellent video!! How you don't have a million subs yet is beyond me. You obviously have a good following and you will get there. Keep up the great content!
Love the Show... and Music..
Those Pflueger reels are so nice for the money. They're so well balanced, smooth, and they're fairly cheap. I have a 500 sized Pflueger for my ultralight and a 2500 for my medium action. I've caught some nice sized smallmouth on the 2500 with absolutely NO problems.
The songs in his intros are the best
When you caught the drum on the lure you didn’t tell him see you later buddy! So I did for you! Lol
Rivers in Minnesota are very low also. Unless something happens with the rain we are going to have extremely low water levels. I'm waiting for one river to start pooling up, that will be unheard of and a great day for fishing.
Really enjoy watching ur videos
Love That You Put all your gear and where you got it from!
I cannot say more than I love your videos and you do love spillways
great fishing. love catching bowfin up here in Michigan.
Hey man, just want to give you a complement. Your videos keep getting better and better. Love the juicy catches. Keep up the good work. You're slaying.
Another great vid , can’t wait to see you pull a world record gar outta there .
“Oh it’s a bowfin!” Lol nick catches one every episode 😂😂😷😷🐠🐠
I wish I can use live bait like you in my state....always fun seeing catch fish thanks

Best fishing channel by far
Spillway slam. Nice catches Nick
Nick you’re awesome to watch and I look forward to your next video. I wish you would go more into your tackle set ups though. Keep up the good works brother. Tight lines >-))))>
