Best catfish bait. I like to put the chicken liver in a tied-off piece of nylon stocking that way it stays on the hook but still spreads the smell into the water easily.
@@tim_henderson lay it out on flat rocks and let it dry out a little bit(till it gets a hide on it)and it will stay on your hook,that way you dont have to mess with the nylons
When i lived in africa an old Scottish guy who had lived there for years said the same and it was very effective.I'd forgotten about that till you mentioned it.
Dude, you are so dedicated! I'll bet very few know how hard you work to put out such quality videos. Thank you for taking me along with your fishing adventure.
Hey Nick! Awesome video!! I’m so glad you included the rain fishing in this video, it was my favorite part. The scenery was perfect and seeing that storm roll in was the coolest thing. Take care man!
I really like the way you put your videos together. Very professional. Enjoyed you posting one that showed that we don't catch fish every time. Sometimes it is just hard. No matter what you try. Keep up the good work.
Think I'm gonna have to buy a 618 shirt because this man makes us fisherman makes us all look good. The patience required when fishing... stacked on top of the amount of absolutely beautiful editing this guy does in his videos. Its remarkable, massive respect bud. Now whoever is reading this you will have to excuse me, cause im gonna go get in some water :)
Always good videos, man! Love the effort you put into trying to get a fish or two. Don't be afraid to lean back and really set the hook on some of those bigger bites you get! lol
First, you should do some more carp fishing! Try boilies and pack baits. Or even corn. Love the videos and keep up the hard work! 👍🏄 So your telling me you didn't fall today?
Hell yeah, carp pack a punch! Would love to see Nick going after them. I'm a method feeder guy myself, targeting carp, tench, bream and large roach. I actually use the American pack bait technique, only I squish more of a paste bait around my method leads (boiled cornmeal with added belachan, chili powder, L-taurine, salt, crayfish meal and boiled feedcorn).
Yeah man carp are fiesty buggers, here in the UK they are fished for everywhere and I target them with boilies and groundbait near margins and snags and also on the surface in summer, it works a treat.
I’ll add a video on our channel of our bait exactly but the bigger shredded wheat in the breakfast isle of any grocery store with just enough water to get it in a dough form then roll em in strawberry jello powder and to top it off a sprinkle of vanilla extract before ya cast em in is killer :)
Gotta love them bowfin . A bad day of fishin still beats a great day at work . Keep at it , that monster cat is coming . Right place , right time , right bait , stars properly aligned . Its gonna happen .
I liked this video a lot. You really showcased the struggle and got them cool slow motion shots your so good at. I watch most of your videos and really enjoyed this one.
My uncle's had an irrigation pond that had bullheads in it. Little bit of worm toss it out had one on every time. Hated unhooking them when younger. They always tasted so good.
I think it's awesome that you'll also post videos where you don't have a great day. So many fishing channels it's just all these insane days and one after the other and just craziness and it's not always the way it goes so I appreciate a video like this. Nice bowfin though!
Anyone else notice every spillway is his favorite spillway. Haha love the videos nick and seriously the amount of time you put in is amazing. Great content. Keep it up. Big fish coming your way
And I like about watching 618 fishing is because he never gives up trying he always fishes for as long as he can and does everything he can not to scrap a video which gives us more entertainment so thank you 618 fishing
You're the man in any weather delivering top content. Also in these times that are so difficult your videos are like comfort food broth haha. Thank you love u my dude
Your hook up ratio on bowfin is really good. I have a spot on a local river that has a big bowfin population that I love to fish. But from my experience I normally have to stick them super hard to get them to stay pined. You make it look easy in your other videos.
I've been binge watching your videos the past two weeks. They're awesome! I love the innocence, and the main focus on fishing. I just fount the link to your shirts. I'm going to order one soon.
You need to set the hook when you’re lifting your rod because you’re leaving way too much slack in your line if you don’t. I would definitely be using circle hooks.
You don't set circle hooks. Just keep your line tight and start reeling. If you try to do a hard set on a circle hook, you'll just pull it right out of the fish's mouth.
Still awesome, keep going mate! You're getting me all excited for my own fishing trip tomorrow (same old venue I always visit, and the last time was 2 days ago, but it's always a blast!)
Nick: You need to get yourself a "Deeper smart sonar" so you can find structures under the surface where the big fish hide. And get yourself some better hooks to. Circle hooks are great for fish that strike hard, turn, and hook themselves, not for the kinds of fish you're after.
What's going on Nick! You caught a lot of different species. Bullhead catfish, Bowfins, and White Drum. Most of the really big cats are still on bed so it's really hard to catch them right now. But man that was a great video! I really enjoyed it!
Yep I know exactlly where your at bro. Those first two spots you went to my friend showed me that area for the very first time last week. Caught my first Gar second cast. Love your videos by the man keep me coming.
Some days the fish win.
That's why we love this sport.
I highly recommend using chicken livers. I’ve caught hundred of large catfish with chicken livers during the day, but even more at night.
Best catfish bait. I like to put the chicken liver in a tied-off piece of nylon stocking that way it stays on the hook but still spreads the smell into the water easily.
Try anise extract added to it too.
Caught bigger catfish with raw shrimp

Dude I got that fish fever everyday I want to go fishing.
Same
Bro you are not the only one
Go fishing then
fdk0418 that is totally me
I feel your pain on the high and muddy. Mother Nature needs to get it together.
howdy!
Brad shut up brad
no it not
Bruh you’re obsessed with fishing 😂 I love it
Nick,
I like seeing the bad days as well as the good days. It is about the hunt and bad days are part of the fishing experience. Keep them all coming.
i love the happiness that Nick seems to have in every video. i hope i’m like that when i get older
Can’t wait till he catches that big 20 pound catfish on his catfish rod soon to come I can feel it
I caught a 40kg catfish on the biggest river in my country , convert that to pounds
He needs to land a big 120lb blue.
The catfish are in their holes
20 pound ain't shit
Maybe 30 who knows
One of the only TH-cam channels I can re-watch videos of and still be satisfied.
Perfect timing! Ready to play my favorite drinking game, take a shot every time Nick say's "See ya later buddy!"
Not too many drinks in this one 😂
@@618Fishing 😂
Dude I just want to say that I appreciate that drone shot with lightning bolt 👌😎
The fact that your videos are brutally honest about fishing is the reason you are my favorite fishing channel.
Glad to see an experienced fisherman gets skunked some days. Some days I catch tons, other days nothing. Love your channel Nick!
Glad to see it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Appreciate you not deleting that stuff.
Hey Nick! Awesome video!! I’m so glad you included the rain fishing in this video, it was my favorite part. The scenery was perfect and seeing that storm roll in was the coolest thing. Take care man!
Thanks Brock!
I like to see you not giving up and giving us a nice video to watch thanks for your time and effort put into this one!
Thank you for your videos Nick! Cheers from Italy 👊
Thanks for watching!
Videos with so many fishing trips and locations must be difficult to edit. Awesome adventures as always! Thanks for bringing us along.
The thing I like about your videos the most is whether you get your fish or not you're always happy and have a smile

When a camping trips over and you come back to having 4 new 618 videos👌
Absolute score.
I love watching these videos when you catch monster fish!!!🎣

Yeah carp are a blast!! We are gonna be chasing em this year as a target fish

I think its time for you to try some Noodling!!!!! Down South with the Noodling Queen, Woot Woot. Tight Lines youngen.
I'm here so early!! Thank you! see ya later buddy.
Hi there nick...just a little advice someone gave to me "Keep your rod tip up at all times" love your vids :)
I try to keep at about the 2 o'clock position
Hang in there Nick!
Its just a matter of time till you get that RIVER MONSTER ;)
I liked this video a lot. You really showcased the struggle and got them cool slow motion shots your so good at. I watch most of your videos and really enjoyed this one.
We need a series of tiny fishing & saltwater fishing. Keep on fishing.
Every video I watching, you have tag name MONSTER fish! And it's really is! Love it!
Great episode! The sauger are starting to run in the Kaskaskia!😉
Nick is now my favorite fishing youtuber, Monster Mike Fishing second and catch em all third.
A fishes worst nightmare is hearing Nick say "Well I'm a little low on bait"..LOL .Keep on trucking man.
Gives the term, " lightning rod " a whole new meaning !
Those Bowfins look awesome ! Prehistoric !
so glad to see you bought a longer handled net!!!!
Awesome video as always 🐟💥
Love the B-Rolls and the bloopers 😂
Nasty but beautiful storm love. Fishing in a good storm
I love that last spillway! Defo want to see more from there! Good luck 👍
they call it fishin, not catchin... the dedication at 2:40 tho.. man deserves a dang fish! lol
Bullhead are a very good tasting fish, my dad and uncle used to catch them all the time .
My uncle's had an irrigation pond that had bullheads in it. Little bit of worm toss it out had one on every time. Hated unhooking them when younger. They always tasted so good.
For me they are the best tasting fish fresh out the water
@@justinbandy2610 Striped bass for me
Enjoyed it, Nick.
Sorry it was a rough couple days, but, that's fishing.
Your videos are clean and fun and you make good choices regarding the environment. Keep it up buddy!
I always look forward to you uploading videos and the suspense of that monster fish
I think it's awesome that you'll also post videos where you don't have a great day. So many fishing channels it's just all these insane days and one after the other and just craziness and it's not always the way it goes so I appreciate a video like this. Nice bowfin though!

*catches white bass* "It's a snook! I changed my ways man I just pretend I'm in Floridia all the time." That killed me I laughed so hard
I love the fishing videos but I rather love you guys being safe and not hurt! Awesome video! Keep up the great updates!! Stay safe! 🤘🤘❤️
And I like about watching 618 fishing is because he never gives up trying he always fishes for as long as he can and does everything he can not to scrap a video which gives us more entertainment so thank you 618 fishing
Thanks I appreciate you watchin!
Canal was really high. Keep em coming buddy.
I'm giving you a thumbs up just for your determination. That was alot of work. 👊👍
You're the man in any weather delivering top content. Also in these times that are so difficult your videos are like comfort food broth haha. Thank you love u my dude
This time the fish had there way but nick will always catch those big fish and provide us with his amazing content. Thank you brother🙏✌
Love seeing boffin but cant wait to see big catfish
Awesome video and you will get that monster someday. As always happy fishing and tight lines my friend.
Video quality is insane like always!
Thanks Alex!
great work on this net!! it looks better than the blue

I know it takes a lot of time and effort but If Nick started daily uploading my life would be complete 😂
another great video, even when the fish do not bite you still make a video worth watching
Even though you didn't catch anything over 7 hours, you're still my hero for sticking it out. Real die hard fisherman. Great video
Thanks Ryan!
@@618Fishing I got the link you sent me for the hat. Thank you for sending it, definitely buying one.
I appreciate this video more than most.
Love the Napoleon Dynamite fist pump! 8:48
Love your videos man! Editing is always amazing!! Your doing a great job man!
Happy to see you post videos with no fish all of us fisherman have been there Nice that you let us see it
i dig your new landing net Nick :) finally :)
"Oh big fish" cue commercial! 😂
Got that right.....
As much as I enjoy watching you catch fish, its fun to watch the "struggle" to!
We all have days like that great video can’t wait for the next
I've been binge watching your videos the past two weeks. They're awesome! I love the innocence, and the main focus on fishing. I just fount the link to your shirts. I'm going to order one soon.
Thanks Andrew!
You need to set the hook when you’re lifting your rod because you’re leaving way too much slack in your line if you don’t. I would definitely be using circle hooks.
Yeah maybe set them hooks harder too, your always on them bowfin and catfish, hard faced fish!
You don't set circle hooks. Just keep your line tight and start reeling. If you try to do a hard set on a circle hook, you'll just pull it right out of the fish's mouth.
And he does use circle hooks.
Edit: However he does need to get a pair of forceps. Makes getting the hook out so much easier.
Every time I’ve used a circle hook with live bait doesn’t work well?
@@systemofadown36_gaming you have to let them run with it more.
It's pleasure to watch ur videos as always, one day u gonna catch some big catfish, but pls don't forget ur net😀
The amount of effort you put into your video amaze me. You deserve all respect nick
Your fishing equipment is amazing, congratulations on catching beautiful fish in this lake.
Hug!!!👍🎣
You are by far my favorite fisherman, your so wholesome and you’ve inspired me so much man
Thank you!
618 Fishing your welcome! And thank you sir, this made my day!
Good fishing nick in hard conditions I was trout fishing yesterday in scotland after lockdown eased a bit i never caught nothing but that's fishing 🙂👍
😁----your best bet to just fish for catfish, trout, & crappies and that's it. awesome and rocking video. please keep up the great work that you do
Amazing dude, keep doing what you love 😉
Nice fishing my friend 🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍
Fresh skipjack heads my favorite bait!
Makes my day. big up 618 👍
I subscribe to so many channels and none of them can hold a candle to your "exit" bumper music. Well done.
Worst days fishing is still better than the best day of working, unless your actual job is making fishing vids...then your just living the dream ;)
I know you're using circle hooks but, SET THE HOOK!!!! Love the videos keep em coming
it’s a good day when ur video pops up
Thanks for sharing this with us. I don't like everything you post, but I love the effort and time you put into your videos
I felt that "that was a big fish" moment in my soul.
Still awesome, keep going mate! You're getting me all excited for my own fishing trip tomorrow (same old venue I always visit, and the last time was 2 days ago, but it's always a blast!)
Good luck!!
You are the bowfin king, lol. Another great video. A lot of reports I’m getting are saying the catfish are spawning right now and tough to catch.
Keep up the great video's, Nick! Greetings from the Netherlands. 😁

I usually don't get this guy, with all the thumbnails, but sticking it out in the rain kinda got me. Well done.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at a office im guessing if i ever worked in a office. 🙃🐟🐠🙃
