Hey Nick! It’s what’s known as a melanistic gar! Very rare, awesome catch 😁
Very very rare catch
We just had a similar looking paddlefish caught recently on my home lake in Oklahoma. Super cool and super rare. Good job Nick
Very interesting thanks for the comment!
Not that rare
Opposite of a!bino very cool though.
My granddaughter watches you with me whenever we can, last week I took her fishing for the first time (she's five) she caught some sun fish and everyone she let go she said "see you later buddy" keep up the great work.
That’s awesome!! I appreciate you guys watching!
Nick, This world would be in much better shape if more parents taught their children to respect the environment and those in it the way your parents taught you. My hat is tipping to you and yours. Thank you for being you. Thanks for letting me witness the fishing adventures.....peace out sir! 😊
My husband and I love watching your videos. You fill each one with entertaining fishing, respect for wildlife, interesting information and great music. Thank you for being a good guy!
I know you hate catching the turtles, but im glad you do try and get them to safety as quickly as you can. Also thanks for helping that soft shell out im guessing they were pretty dazed coming over that spill way.
Always an absolute pleasure ,Nick.
Love watching your US adventures, you catch almost exclusively fish that we just don't have here in England.
Tight lines, buddy!
Well done on the turtle rescue Nick, lovely looking Gar as well.
Nick, that was the coolest thing.....saving that turtle! So heart warming. Thanks for doing that!
I enjoyed this Nick, nice fish. So glad you were able to help the turtle🐟🎣
Please tell your friends about this this channel I turn 50 on the 21st of May I grew up in Missouri and I never heard of or seen a bowfin. After watching this channel for the past couple years can honestly say it is actually educational if you're into fishing.
Between your passion and your drive to bring us amazing fishing adventure's Nick. Just makes all of us something to look forward to. Thanks again buddy.
Hey hi hello to all you fishing people out there hope you all are well and good week
Ngl this man needs a "see ya later buddy" counter 😂
I remember one video he didn’t say it when releasing a fish. I believe that fish is in therapy still.
It needs to be on his merch
Drinking game. That and what in the world is this, or what did I hook in to? Nice fish, nice fish.
And most of the time, he doesnt even See the fish later xD
See ya later buddy 😂😂
Melanistic gar can be any species. Yours did look to be a shortnose. Awesome video
Nick, the Merciful! Nick, the merciful! Rock on dude 🤘😎
I'm glad to see that someone else believes in Fishing Karma lmao, not really sure how it works but seemingly every time I clean up trash from a fishing spot or take random broken off hooks out of a fishes mouth I seem to either catch a big fish right after or my next trip out. Good on you for helping out that turtle! Looking forward to your next adventure that you share with us
you are a good man, thank you for helping that turtle and respecting nature. Sick catches!
Thanks Nick,always enjoy watching your videos at spillways and creeks.good job helping that turtle too.🤘
Haha, always good to see another video Nick. It's absolutely amazing to me how many places seem to be a 2 hour drive from your house. "Where do you live?" ... "Oh, literally 120 miles from everywhere"
Whats up Nick!? Thanks for renewing my love for fishing once agaian
Nick, thanks for the out takes. Most of my trips also include hooking a tree or branch. Thanks for keeping it real.
Your passion for the outdoors is amazing thanks for helping that turtle there awesome animals great video
Thank you for returning them back to the watery home!!! ❤️💗💖
Enjoy all your videos! You're the only You Tuber that I watch all the commercials for. Hope that helps!
Nice work Nick, saving the turtle and catching some cool fish! Another great video 👍
you're a good egg Nick. mad props for the turtle rescue!
Very cool video Nick ,thanks
That melanistic gar was cool. Thanks for saving the soft shell turtle. It’d probably been a goner otherwise.
What a cool video, love the rawness of the location and your catches
Excellent as always poor Turtle good job you was there.
aaah i havent caught a tree since my fly fishing days..the memories
Another great video as usual! Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Nick, first off. Love your page brother, it’s been great following your channel over the years bud. I wanted to see if you might be willing to show what your set up is when your fishing so we can compare and build our confidence as far as us novice fishermen. I appreciate you, and wish you the best!
Melanistic gar some are like night black 🖤 so rare beautiful catch typigpatrol caught one in Florida I think Way in the everglades and supposed to be as rare as albino but not sure but def one of my favorite catches u got
Always look forward to your videos, Nick. Thanks for another great video.
The 2 Gar and the bowfin was a awesome catch great job like your fishing videos
Cool fishin hole! Thanks👍
Had a bit of fun , caught some fish . A perfect day out . Look forward to the next adventure Nick .
Not forgetting the rare can , yes you can fish 😂
As all your viewers know you are one kind soul. Thanks Nick
Love my Thursday night 618 Fishing show!!!
Glad to see you help that turtle out!
Another awesome fishing adventure! That gar was so cool, that sleak black look fit well on it.
Such a great day of fishing and some! A very fun episode for sure! You even caught a very rare canfish lol! Great video and great editing! Have a great and fun/safe weekend and take care Nick! See you next adventure!
Haha thank so for watching!
Those Gar were pretty awesome. Wasn't expecting that in that water.
I find it interesting that you drive to these small places when the Mississippi and the Kaskakia are right on your doorstep being close to the 618 area.
The quality of your videos is amazing! Seems like you always end up seeing a soft shelled turtle. I am so unlucky with them 😢
Great turtle rescue Nick!!
great stuff thanks
Fine turtle rescue Sir!! Thanks for taking us with you!!!
Great video 😊 I started a native fish tank with pumpkinseed sunfish
Another great video from Nick, aka The Spillway Slayer. Thanks again for a great video, production, content and music.
Those gar also come in albino. They are popular with the "Monster fish tank" people. If you have a melanistic, you will usually want an albino to have a set.
Hello Nick you should come to Vermont we are loaded with Longnose gar and Bowfin plus Channels right up your alley.
great vlog brother... you need to come to the uk would be a great vlog
Another nice fishing video! Relaxing to watch!
Deep down in your heart you have a spot for turtles!
Cheers on the beverage can!
Great video good job 👍
Dude your channel is so great nick. Thanks
I wish way more fishermen where like you, love fishing and respect nature👍👏👏. That turtle would more than likely die if you where not the compassionate person you are.
Your videos always brighten my day!
Hey, brother I think you should invest in a basket net like we use on the pier down here in the Florida panhandle for those spillways you go to where you aren't able to get to the shoreline to net your fish.
Releases fish...one one thousand two one thousand.. SPLASH.!! " See ya later buddy"
Classic.
Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo would be very pleased with your rescue 🐢
Very cool man.! Search Three mile Bay NY..gar spawning. Tons of them.
Like watching your videos. You are doing great. Keep up the good work
Nice save for that awesome Softshell Turtle❤
Soft shell turtles are soooo cool 😎🐢 and its awesome you helped him. Beautiful bowfin too.
I'm new to your channel and very excited to see what you do. I haven't read anything but I'm from Ohio but originated from Connecticut. I miss my oceans 😪
cool spot, great video and turtle rescue
That's a bummer that you didn't have a great day fishing, but man was it an awesome watch
this guy has the best fishing day of my life during every vid !!
Wait. That beer can took your bait. Great video. Thanks Nick.
Great vid Nick
Good man way to save mr.turtle! I'm gonna go cook up a rib eye now.
Neat video! Nice fisherman. Thanks!
Nick to the rescue, bless you dude! 😆
That looked like a melanistic gar, keep up the great content!
From the turtle : Nick's karma is now overloaded.
It became an habit to wait for the next fishing adventure.
Congrats again
You the man. Thanks for saving the 🐢. Great video.
Great work taking the risk of slipping to help that turtle!
Saving the turtle was just the best part good lad
Appreciate the great video. My brother has a pet Painter Turtle. Tight lines!
Always good. Thank you.
Turtle lover... good on ya mate!
Always fun. To watch you fish my friend
Great vid !
It's sad to see all those silver carp in that spillway, but good to see there's other species that are still surviving around them.
Nick… that was nice.. Thank you for saving the 🐢 🙏🏻 .. A Very cool Vídeo Nick Thank you.
I think your video quality is the best on youtube
Good content as usual. Thanks 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I've never seen a Bowfin. It's pretty cool 😎 Thank you for saving the turtle 🐢 😊 ❤️
Good job helping the turtle
Love the turtle cam dude❤😂 6:20
Nice adventure.
You should team up with a rod company and make a line of "See Ya Later Buddy" catfish rods! That would be so cool!
Beer can catch was epic. I’ll drink to that. Lol
I know exactly where this is and would recommend to try the spillway about 10 more minutes down the main road at the next lake over. Has large muskie and gar.
The cutest turtles and most handsome and animal loving fisherman omg ❤❤ I am so lucky!!!
Aw thank you baby!! I’m the lucky one! 😍
Interesting fish you've got. Good to see them back in to the water . I am wondering doesn't feel those fish pain when they got stuck on the hook?🤔
Nice to see a video with someone using organic baits.
Also what song is playing in this?
