Is it just me or does anybody else feel like this?? when they watch Nick catch a fish close to his PB an the genuine happiness an excitement you see him have in that very moment. Puts a huge smile on your face because you just love seeing him have fun. An love his content so much.. Btw Nick keep up the amazing work you do on these videos. I'll always keep coming back as long as you are putting out content. And there isn't anything I would want you to do better in these videos because you are just spot on 💯💯🔥cheers man.
@Nick, brother I have to tell you that, out of all of the fishing channels on TH-cam, I don't think there is even one that can top you in your production! I absolutely love your music, ESPECIALLY the dobro music when you have it, and your slow motion video of your rods is even incredible! Keep up the good work! I just subscribed and hit the notification bell because I don't want to miss one episode!
I have been following you for over 2 years. When I broke my ankle and had major surgery a year and a half ago your videos kept me going through the winter here in Canada 🇨🇦 I've learned alot from you. Keep up the amazing work you do
I love how excited Nick gets on bowfin. Those hit our bass baits all the time, my biggest was 14 lbs but I hooked one bigger than that that tore me up and got away.
Nick, I've never seen a bowfin till following your channel! I live in northeast Ohio and am familiar with Walleye and Musky for the most part. Next time your out and catch another bowfin can you show the teeth on camera for those that aren't familiar with these bad boys?
Amazing catch, also amazing outdoor scenery,I love the suspense, the Adrenaline.theres nothing better than going fishing and being surprised by mother nature, it's Epic 🤟👍😄🤪🎣
This spill way has made some great videos BUDDY. thanks again for sharing your adventures, time and life with us all Good fishing and safe travels to the 618 fishing family and fans. 🐟🎥💯👍
Great video! Thank you. Lots of nice bowfin in there. My boys and I always appreciate the art of your video making. And the outtakes at the end. Thanks again Nick!
Here on the Mississippi river, we call the Bowfin a "dogfish", the "freshwater drum" are sheepshead, and a gar is simply a pain! I like the trick photography where he sticks a smallish fish right up to the camera, so it looks gigantic! I have done the same with a gray squirrel, so it looked like it was the size of a bear! Lol!
Your videos are excellent. I love watching them. The edits are so good and the close ups with music choice make for a very pleasing experience. That’s when I noticed at 3:45, there’s a chip in the ceramic insert on the outside of the eyelet. Keep an eye on it looks super sharp. It would be sad to lose one like that. Keep up the good work Nick!! 👍🏻
3:44 when your braid starts to get hairy like that it's time to change it out or cut back to past the damage before it gets too frayed and you end up losing a fish. Might also be worth checking your line guides and the bale arm roller for damage. I like using braid for anything over 15-20lbs for the diameter advantage (anything less then I tend to use a match grade mono or flouro for the clarity and the more forgiving stretch if your drag isn't set right) but the big drawback is the wear resistance
Fantastic ....always look forward to your videos Nick...wish we had bowfin and Gar over here in England would b my dream nice fish m8 keep them vids coming love it tight lines 👍🎣
It is so awesome to see the fish as they bite. Bowfin fight so hard. Has been a long time since I have caught one. Always fun to watch you bring them in
Nice Fish ! Wow ! And seeing your video for the first time, I’d like to thank you for showing such profound respect to these beautiful creatures. Many would not care, but you are a sportsman and not just a fisherman.
You do love your fishin 👍you even played with your beard after releasin that big bowfin, yum hahaha Anyway great jib again Nick Great video duction seen it reads that you’re a nice job keep up the fantastic work always look forward to seeing your alerts 👍👍👍
We so love your video of these great catches. I would love my iPad to have your tunes in it for fishing as well. Any chance you can post titles to match the artists as well? One other question, how often do you encounter snakes? Any poisonous ones?? Happy fishing my friend 👍😎🤙
Funny bowfin story.... I was fishing once and caught a pretty small bluegill. As I was reeling it in, BOOM, birds nest from hell. A few seconds after fixing the birds nest my line went very tight, and my drag started screaming. I finally get the fish to shore and it's a very nice sized Bowfin. Not very long, but quite chunky. 28" 13.21 lbs. The bluegill had gotten lodged against the side, and was the only reason I was able to catch the fish. I pulled the Bluegill out of the Bowfin's mouth, and surprisingly the Bluegill was actually still alive haha. Took the Bluegill home and put it in my freshwater tank filled with native fish, and it lived there for almost 2 years after that Bowfin encounter.
What a great day of fishing Nick, Your energy is electric. Like a good game, sitting on the edge of my seat going stay on, stay on! See you later buddy!
REALLY digging the beard my friend 😏
Agreed

I love your channel most because you don't talk for 20 minutes, it's just straight to the fish. And the music bro! Great content 👌
Is it just me or does anybody else feel like this??

Thank you, Nick, for showing the River views. I think that was what my Dad was trying to show me the last time he took me fishing. Good memory.
Wow super catch. I am from Texas and got my 1st bowfin this month. We all enjoyed bowfin fishing.
I'm a young saltwater fisherman but I still love watching your videos,it makes my day
Congrats on the MASSIVE BOWFIN by the way!🎉
I have been following you for over 2 years. When I broke my ankle and had major surgery a year and a half ago your videos kept me going through the winter here in Canada 🇨🇦
I've learned alot from you. Keep up the amazing work you do
Nick your the man, the quality of the video, and the music selection ....from a-z you hit home runs on this one....huge fan of 618 fishing!👍👍
Now that's a successful day of fishing with a giant to boot!
"Buddy or Bait", will the stress and carnage ever end for these poor sunfish. Rock on Nick, the beard is almost full on Viking !!!
I love how excited Nick gets on bowfin. Those hit our bass baits all the time, my biggest was 14 lbs but I hooked one bigger than that that tore me up and got away.
Dang that’s wild man!
We don’t have them in Utah id be thrilled to get one
Yeah there a few good size ones in my favorite pond. Pb bowfin is 8 lb and some oz. They fight soo different from bass.. Lots of head shaking
Nick, I've never seen a bowfin till following your channel! I live in northeast Ohio and am familiar with Walleye and Musky for the most part. Next time your out and catch another bowfin can you show the teeth on camera for those that aren't familiar with these bad boys?
We don't have bow fin where I'm at..
Are they any good to eat, or just fun to catch?
618 Fishing. Nick the Bowfin are a truly amazing fish. Thank's For The Videos Keep Them Coming
Brilliant, filming, fishing, music. See you later buddy.
Love the bloopers at the end. Everyone can absolutely relate!
Amazing catch, also amazing outdoor scenery,I love the suspense, the Adrenaline.theres nothing better than going fishing and being surprised by mother nature, it's Epic 🤟👍😄🤪🎣
I haven’t seen your channel in months you grew so much man good job 👍
Nice fish and Congrats.
Great video! Thank you. The QUALITY of video and pics is excellent! Really adds to a great TH-cam channel.
Damn Nick nice work! You can tell you put a lot of hard work and effort into your video editing. Happy fishing bro 🎣🤙🏼
I always love seeing you nail these bowfin. They're such hard fighters and no two ever seem to look the same.
This spill way has made some great videos BUDDY. thanks again for sharing your adventures, time and life with us all Good fishing and safe travels to the 618 fishing family and fans. 🐟🎥💯👍
Great video! Thank you. Lots of nice bowfin in there. My boys and I always appreciate the art of your video making. And the outtakes at the end. Thanks again Nick!

Hey Nick. It wound be fun to hear you describe your choice of rods, reels, types of line and what pound test you use on your different rigs.
Dope Videography,Soundtracks, it's a WHOLE experience, been watching and living through your trips for a while now, thx Bro! 🤟🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥💯🌍🌏🪐🌌☄️🏌🏾♂️ 🎣
Fishing is a bonus and a giant Bowfin is the icing on the cake Nick.😉

Very keen eye, I would of never caught that.
Wow!! That was really awesome. Total excitement

Looks like so much fun I wish we had bowfin here in Southwest Missouri
