I don't normally comment, but thanks for all the videos throughout the pandemic. I used to fish quite a bit, but other things took priority in life. Keep it up Nick, these videos are great!
Watching your videos got me re-connected to fishing. That got my 12 year old daughter interested and now I have a new, and great, fishing buddy. Thanks, Nick!
Easily my favourite fishing creator, wholesome, funny, and determined to bring us the goods, no matter the weather! My trans-Atlantic fishing buddy, keep 'em coming, Nick.
It sucks that these fish are so many than other species that are in habitat in the state, anyway it's always a pleasure to see new videos of your fishing trips, I can't wait until spring to get here, good luck Nick and see you later buddy
An hour uploaded an already 100+ comments! Way to go nick! Such a wholesome and awesome channel, an inspiration to try new styles of fishing! I love watching you videos before going fishing!
I always enjoy a video from my BUDDY at 618 Fishing. Catching PBs and filming it for you and me. Thanks Nick, wishing you and yours a great weekend. 🎣🏆🎥🥇🥇🥇💯
I'm officially addicted to your videos! I cant tell what's better your amazing cinematography or the mysterious almost magical location you find to fish at! Giving me great ideas for this coming fishing season, especially at the location you've visited close to where I live, you know the 217 location are worth it. Come up and kayak fish at Silom springs lake some time, its got gorgeous clear waters!
Have been watching for awhile, one of those silent viewers but decided to say hi and how much you have helped these last 2 years, fishing is my literal therapy 2-3 times a month even if I skunk lol. From Southern California
It was around 78°, partly ⛅ but the sun came out for the sunset. Hit a dry spell but I am getting back on the 🐟 ! Caught my first shakey head fish yesterday. Glad it is on my channel.
I am so old I remember when the reservoir above that damn filled. I sharpened my teeth on fishing as a young boy below that very spillway. Thank you for reliving some old memories from my youth.
Eventually I will see you out here. That part of the spillway has been my favorite spot to go for about 10 years now. During the spring the main spillway has a lot of really nice spoonfish though.
The white curly tail grub is sometimes the ticket. Other times it's yellow or chartreuse. The most valuable thing I've learned about fishing is you dont always have to stick to the public opinion norms for baits for certain fish. Pond catfish especially will go for many different moving baits
Tu equipo de pesca es fantástico, capturaste hermosos peces. ¡Felicitaciones, eres un pescador muy exitoso! Me encantó el video.👍🎣🥰 Dios los bendiga siempre y buena pesca!
Thank you again for braving the elements. Congratulations on a new pb. Gotta love that. Keep doing what you do. You're the 1st TH-cam fisherman I ever watched. I'd like to see you fish a big dam spillway. See what pb you could set there. Tightlines
First time seeing your channel, great video. I was very impressed seeing you weigh the fish in the net. You see many people weigh larg fish by their jaw putting a lot of pressure on their jaws and other joints... thanks for caring and proper handling techniques
Hi Nick, thanks for another video. :D I brought a starter kit for fishing, yesterday my rod and 2 lures arrived, next week my reel. And then go to fish after 10 years break. Thanks again for keeping update videos!!
i live less than 10 minutes away from there .....when it warms up ,,park at the east side parking lot at the main dam and walk the bike path back south ...it’s a little bit of a walk .... to here is a bridge to walk or ride your bike across the river ....there is a steep limestone rock wall that the river flows up against and has created a deep hole ....good catfish spot in the summertime
Hi Bud, I was wondering what them night crawlers were then relised they were what we in the UK call worms, Anyway if you want to catch more worms in your garden what i do is use a watering can with a bit of washing up liquid in, the stuff you use for the dishes, They dont like it in the soil so will come to the surface. Great video. Take care Ken.
I love this channel. People look at me silly because I love watching people fish on TH-cam. Nick is the best out here. Now I am just binge watching his videos from years ago.
Sounded like you had a gear out of alignment in that reel, worth taking apart to see but usually the gears are zinc castings so aren't the most durable of things. Just had to replace my heavy lure setup because the bearings have started to grind in the reel after too many dips in the sea and not enough preventative maintenance (the bearing kits for that model are more than a brand new reel so I'll just keep that one for salt after dipping the bearings etc and the new one for fresh) and the first fish of the year snapped the tip off my nice rod while landing it, gotta love pike fishing man.
It's interesting to see some of the methods used to combat the cold for fishing. Heating your worms is something Ive never tried. (But in Louisiana it doesn't get below 40°F so I don't think about it much lol)
This is the first time I’ve commented on one of your videos, but Ive been watching you for a couple years man. I always love your videos and there are quite a few ive watched multiple times :). I love how genuine you are. And I know anytime im having a rough day I can watch one of your videos, and even if you dont catch anything it makes my day a little better so thank you brother you really are a legend in my books and I will definitely keep watching anything you post! See ya later buddy😊
You're the reason my 9 year old boy and I have began fishing for everything, not just specific targeting. I forgot how much fun it was to just catch anything, and he glows every time he gets to yell to me "fish on dad!"
Also not usually one to comment....I find it amazing that you'll drive hours from your home to catch a carp. A man after my own heart....I've been fishing and hunting since I could walk and there's nothing greater than the thrill of a fish on the line...whether it's micro fishing...or casting the big rod....Fortunately, here in PA and our surrounding areas...we're not infested with the big-heads and silvers that you're stuck with....we have plenty of cats....muskie...walleye...trout and panfish...keep it up....you're entertaining the masses and we appreciate you. 🐋🐟
You should try southwest of Bonnie on the impoundment dam this spring when the lake pool gets over 410’ google earth it you will see the spot. Good luck keep up the good work.
Your channel has inspired me to get out and hit the fishing hard , last year was a stellar year and I had a great time catching many different species with several personal bests. Thank you and keep up the good videos
I love that your still out fishing in this cold ass weather !!! I absolutely LOVE Your videos !!! I always get excited when I get a 618 notification !!
Congrats on all the big carp Nick! If you take that reel apart and clean then lube it, it might still work. maybe not. Man I hope you have a freezer just for bait as you now have a crazy amount of it. Think about using some as fertilizer for a garden.
Love watching your videos, will you be doing any more tiny lure challenge? Love that series. Anyway keep these awesome videos coming, keeps me fired🔥 up for spring.
Nick, You always find fish. Really enjoy watching. I'm twice your age but still learning from you! I would like to run into you someday and fish with a 'Pro'
Nick goes out in the freezing cold just to bring us this great video, and now he has to carry like 50lbs of fish plus all his gear he brings with back to his jeep.
0 degrees with a 100% chance he loses a fish ;).... U know I love you bud. Great, clean videos. Just wish you posted more. You do amazing sir! You made me eat my words! You didn't lose a single fish haha!
Keep it up dude i can't wait for the weather to clear up I miss fishing it's been almost two months scents I been out fishing it's been terrible weather here in Ohio my favorite river is still frozen dang it
I don't normally comment, but thanks for all the videos throughout the pandemic. I used to fish quite a bit, but other things took priority in life. Keep it up Nick, these videos are great!
The good thing about fishing less is each trip you do take is more enjoyable
what pandemic?
Well “COVID” is no reason to not fish don’t let there shitty narrative stop you from living your best life!!!
No fisherman wakes up and says I’m not fishing anymore,PERIOD
@@Blei1986 🤣🤣🤣💪
Watching your videos got me re-connected to fishing. That got my 12 year old daughter interested and now I have a new, and great, fishing buddy. Thanks, Nick!
WOW!!! That was a massive fish to catch in a small spillway. Congrats! Again another fun video. Thanks Nick! 🎣
Nick has made my day. 😃 Thanks for the upload. MAJOR RESPECT TO THIS MAN. ❤️💯
Doesn't matter what I'm doing once I get that notification I'm watching 618 fishing! You make Thursdays eventful. Thanks Nick!
Thanks for watchin I appreciate it!
yes
Easily my favourite fishing creator, wholesome, funny, and determined to bring us the goods, no matter the weather!
My trans-Atlantic fishing buddy, keep 'em coming, Nick.
hi
Glad you’re doing great at keeping the invasive fish out of the water! Keep up the great work! 😁👍
Nick's freezer rivals the one at a Sam's Club due to all the "bait" he catches. Rock on Nick "The Beard". Rock on.
I suspect a lot of that bait ends up as food for the fish in his family’s pond. . .
Yeah, "bait..."
Boy, that'd be food for days in my house🤣
But hey, it beats buying chicken breast every couple of weeks.
That's my baby!!! I'm so proud of you ♥️ Great job 👏
I always appreciate you watching baby!!! ❤️
It sucks that these fish are so many than other species that are in habitat in the state, anyway it's always a pleasure to see new videos of your fishing trips, I can't wait until spring to get here, good luck Nick and see you later buddy
CAN YOU EAT CARP
right
@@ronniewall1481 I'm not sure if you can eat carp
@@davidm6256 I LOOKED IT UP IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD.
@@ronniewall1481 yes it's edible but..the taste is a little bit bland similar to tilapia and also a very boney fish.
It seems every time you visit that spillway you get another PB! Another great video!
An hour uploaded an already 100+ comments! Way to go nick! Such a wholesome and awesome channel, an inspiration to try new styles of fishing! I love watching you videos before going fishing!

I love watching you fish this spillway. I think you should throw one of those carp heads into the spillway itself next time.
This guy is so dedicated. It’s amazing.

It’s nice to see you fishing here and keeping it private, I live on the lake now. I’d like to come with ya sometime
It was around 78°, partly ⛅ but the sun came out for the sunset. Hit a dry spell but I am getting back on the 🐟 ! Caught my first shakey head fish yesterday. Glad it is on my channel.
Great Jaws reference! "We're going to need a bigger boat". That almost was the size of a shark!
I am so old I remember when the reservoir above that damn filled. I sharpened my teeth on fishing as a young boy below that very spillway. Thank you for reliving some old memories from my youth.
Eventually I will see you out here. That part of the spillway has been my favorite spot to go for about 10 years now. During the spring the main spillway has a lot of really nice spoonfish though.
Great job I didn’t know the little grub could do so much work!!!
Thanks for getting out in the cold and taking the time to post your vids. Got me ready to head out now. Lol. Great job buddy.
The white curly tail grub is sometimes the ticket. Other times it's yellow or chartreuse. The most valuable thing I've learned about fishing is you dont always have to stick to the public opinion norms for baits for certain fish. Pond catfish especially will go for many different moving baits
They make amazing trailers on jigs too

Me encantó el video.👍🎣🥰
Dios los bendiga siempre y buena pesca!
Great video once again Nick! Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you! Great catches today!! Excited to see what the future holds for you!
618 Fishing. Nick I Really Enjoy Your Spillway Videos. Thank's For Taking Me Along. Keep The Videos Comeing
Fishing in freezing weather. A true outdoorsman and entertainer. Love this spillway much more than that pond.
Thank you again for braving the elements. Congratulations on a new pb. Gotta love that. Keep doing what you do. You're the 1st TH-cam fisherman I ever watched. I'd like to see you fish a big dam spillway. See what pb you could set there. Tightlines
Great content, 90% of fish not caught with big baits, keeps me going waiting for better weather in UK.
First time seeing your channel, great video. I was very impressed seeing you weigh the fish in the net. You see many people weigh larg fish by their jaw putting a lot of pressure on their jaws and other joints... thanks for caring and proper handling techniques
Awesome fishing for winter. Your solution for keeping the worms from freezing is very cool.
That is a magical spillway filled with PB's. Warm up and prepare for our next adventure. Please and thank you.
Hi Nick, thanks for another video. :D I brought a starter kit for fishing, yesterday my rod and 2 lures arrived, next week my reel. And then go to fish after 10 years break. Thanks again for keeping update videos!!
One of my favorite places to fish, if you want to have fun use a fly rod.my PB at that location was a 13lb highbred striper. Keep up the good work.
What a fun spillway. You ever think about dropping a GoPro into that spill way to see what life is swimming in there besides what you have caught?
I love watching you land those big ones!
i live less than 10 minutes away from there .....when it warms up ,,park at the east side parking lot at the main dam and walk the bike path back south ...it’s a little bit of a walk .... to here is a bridge to walk or ride your bike across the river ....there is a steep limestone rock wall that the river flows up against and has created a deep hole ....good catfish spot in the summertime
"A Christmas Story" instantly came to mind when the grub stuck to the freezing pole. 🤣
Thanks for another great video!!
I was thinking that and dumb and dumber 😂 thanks for watching!
Bigger net your gonna need a bigger boat. 😂 That's what she said 😂😂😂 JkJk
You’re

This is just what my day needed. Thanks once again for the awesome fishing adventure.
Always excited when 618 fishing notifications pop up!! Let’s go carp killer!!
Always love to see a new pb! Great vid man, always hyped to see that notification!
Glad to see you land those fish. With some that you've lost, you were due for a jackpot.

great stuff Nick thanks for braving the cold for use.
Awesome catch nick love these videos keep up the amazing work
This spillway just keeps producing great content like you Nic keep it up 👍🤩
Thank you for loving my comment
You're the reason my 9 year old boy and I have began fishing for everything, not just specific targeting. I forgot how much fun it was to just catch anything, and he glows every time he gets to yell to me "fish on dad!"
Love your channel!!! I grew up in your area. Try filleting up one of the silver/big-head carp and eating it! They're pretty good!
Dude, you're hard core! here in north west Illinois it's ice fishing if ya want to dip a pole.. Congrats on that massive Carp!
Nice fishing! You had some fun alright!
Also not usually one to comment....I find it amazing that you'll drive hours from your home to catch a carp. A man after my own heart....I've been fishing and hunting since I could walk and there's nothing greater than the thrill of a fish on the line...whether it's micro fishing...or casting the big rod....Fortunately, here in PA and our surrounding areas...we're not infested with the big-heads and silvers that you're stuck with....we have plenty of cats....muskie...walleye...trout and panfish...keep it up....you're entertaining the masses and we appreciate you. 🐋🐟
Holy carp! What a beauty! Thanx for all your outstanding videos, really enjoy looking forward to them each week!👍
Keep Crushing them Nick! Winter Fishing is tough. Tight Lines!
I know your about to hook a giant when the music and cinematics start playing 😂
Thank you for all your videos and keeping me alive. I have been going through a lot lately and I just don't want to be on earth anymore.
Amazing trip out this time. Lots of toads. Would you say hi to my 8 yr old girl Sadie who loves your videos? Keep em coming Nick!
Great job! I wouldn't have thought carp would take an artificial lure.
You should try southwest of Bonnie on the impoundment dam this spring when the lake pool gets over 410’ google earth it you will see the spot. Good luck keep up the good work.
That used to be a great spot for crappie and cats before the carp and gar invaded. You might look at Kincade lake spillway
That Big Head Carp is incredible BRAVO!!!
Your channel has inspired me to get out and hit the fishing hard , last year was a stellar year and I had a great time catching many different species with several personal bests. Thank you and keep up the good videos
I’m lying here in the ER waiting on X-ray results and enjoying your videos as always. Keep ‘em up!
Always nice to see a video pop up. Brightens the day. Nice day out.
I love that your still out fishing in this cold ass weather !!! I absolutely LOVE Your videos !!! I always get excited when I get a 618 notification !!
Great results ! Thanks nick, always look forward to your films !
Awesome Day! Bet you check the reel before you go next week. Looking forward to another adventure.
This spillway does you wonders. Happy to watch, Nick.
Congrats on all the big carp Nick! If you take that reel apart and clean then lube it, it might still work. maybe not. Man I hope you have a freezer just for bait as you now have a crazy amount of it. Think about using some as fertilizer for a garden.
Love watching your videos, will you be doing any more tiny lure challenge? Love that series. Anyway keep these awesome videos coming, keeps me fired🔥 up for spring.
Probably the best and most productive spillway of all!
Nick, You always find fish. Really enjoy watching. I'm twice your age but still learning from you! I would like to run into you someday and fish with a 'Pro'
Great video. I know they are an invasive species but big fish hooked and landed with skill makes for a good day. Well done.
As the video went on I could hear how cold you were haha. Awesome video! Lets hope the streak continues
I love your passion for fishing. I smile every time I watch. You get it. You get it…
Nice work out there man! By the looks of all those invasive carp, you won't be running out of bait anytime soon brother!
Great video Nick, that big head put up quite the fight. There has to be some massive cat fish in that water. See you later buddy!
Nick goes out in the freezing cold just to bring us this great video, and now he has to carry like 50lbs of fish plus all his gear he brings with back to his jeep.
0 degrees with a 100% chance he loses a fish ;).... U know I love you bud. Great, clean videos. Just wish you posted more. You do amazing sir!
You made me eat my words! You didn't lose a single fish haha!
Great trip seems like you keep getting better size fish Got to give you extra credit for fishing in those temps Great job
That spillway is awesome
When I get a spillway video notification I know it’s going to be a banger! As always, love the spillway videos. Cheers and tight lines!
Another amazing video, not sure if you have ever made a video showing your set up but I think that would be awesome.
I've heard the big heads/silvers are decent eating, so maybe a plus other than being bait and a good fight.
I never knew how many big head carp there were in southern Illinois! Congrats on the giant!
Great video, awesome fish. I haven't been able to fish in a couple years, so I enjoy watching others. Keep the videos coming.👍👍👍👍👍
This video was one of THE GREATEST fishing videos I’ve seen in a while ✊🏾✊🏾
Amazing video as always Nick. Always enjoy your content. You are helping me get thru the winter while I can't fish👍👍👍
Beautiful footage and beautiful fish. Nice job, sir.
That second catfish looked downright tasty.
Absolutely awesome Great job on the pb
Keep it up dude i can't wait for the weather to clear up I miss fishing it's been almost two months scents I been out fishing it's been terrible weather here in Ohio my favorite river is still frozen dang it
Love your videos, if I'm not able to get out and fish, it's nice to watch.
just stumbled across your channel this morning. Great stuff man the little b roll cinamatic shots are sick
