I'm a School Security Officer and for the past week we've been dealing with cyber threats in one form or another. It's been hectic. I just experienced the most relaxing and enjoyable video I've seen in a long time. It was much needed. Outstanding day of fishing. Thanks for sharing and letting me be a part of it!
Are you by any chance in Illinois. We are seeing school threats here in the Joliet IL area. I was just curious as to how far these threats are happening. Seems odd to hear if you are located elsewhere. Like WTF is going on these days!!! Sad.
@@spirorevelis7100it’s everywhere right now, I’m not big into conspiracy but I feel like some higher power is pushing civil unrest again for votes or a agenda
Dude. I’m a teacher in Southern IL. We had a threat today. Videos from Nick are great to unwind after a tough day, but it’s really damn sad that stuff like this is going on. Hope it gets better for you.
I love that what you're calling a "smaller hook" is the size hook we use for large cod and halibut. Not even the people going for large pike would use something like that, at least not many of them.
The gar looked like it survived an oil spill and was dirty. Just an awesome catch. Not sure on other parts of the country, but here in the Ohio River valley near Wheeling, WV we are in a terrible drought. In the last 30 days we have had 1 rainfall yielding 0.34" . Currently between D3-D4 conditions (D4 being "Exceptional Drought"). Rock on Nick 🤘😎
Awesome catch Nick thanks again for the adventure. Those fish have stood the test of time. I appreciate your admiration for the gar. Keep it coming my friend.
What an amazing gar. Love the visit can't wait for the next. I like that spot it reminds me of one that I used to fish a lot until it became a town favorite and now it gets full
Hey brother, I just want to say I really enjoy watching your channel. I look forward to every time you post one of your fishing adventures. I really appreciate that you identify all the fishes you catch and it’s help me to learn what they are. You’re awesome bro.
Nick Buddy! I’ve always thought that you were a straight up good dude, you took it to another level trying to save fish from the dwindling puddle! Nice try man! Much respect for the attempt. My father in law used to clean the banks of our favorite bullhead fishing hole so love that you gave it a try! Need more sportsman like you!
What an epic day of fishing that gar was beautiful . And bowfin is on my bucket list to catch . Great video how do you like the neck mount for your camera.
It has its pros and cons, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. I think it’s better than the chest mount, but sometimes I feel my hands block the view compared to when I had it mounted on my hat. Thanks for watching!
Man I just caught my first Grass Carp ever last week, actually hooked into a couple. Such a fun fight, one was 14 pounds. I know they can get much bigger. That spotted gar was awesome looking. Keep up the great content.
As a fellow fisherman , I know that we keep our secrets real close and hush when it comes to fishing . That being said , you gotta tell me how you cloned yourself ... Working the net while working the worm was epic !!!! 😁
There were no floaters (dead ones) or live ones, which would lead me to believe that they were taken out or caught by someone else. You are applauded for your efforts.
Looks like you caught quite a few nice fish. I'm hoping to get out at least a couple more times this year before it gets cold. Still looking for that first flathead.
That spot is super special.....I can only hope those weren't the anglers that threw all the gar on bank to die....and I hope they were catch n release like yourself....u inspire me and I enjoyed this episode nick!!!!!as always amazing job editing etc etc
Beautiful spotted gar, good sized spot too! Man, I haven’t caught a bowfin, mudfish, dogfish, haha their called something different but is the same fish, all over. Last one I caught was from a paylake, in Ky, and they called it a dogfish. That was probably 30-35 years ago.

If you think the video was relaxing, you should try actual fishing. It is therapy.
Man, Good Luck! I sure don't envy you & your job

That Gar was stunning, great catch!
Nice multi-species trip, grass carp, striped and largemouth bass, gar, and bowfins. Sweet haul for this episode.
Can’t wait for every new episode!
Well done Nick. You make catching gar look so easy. I have never caught one. Going to have to change that.
Your are the KING of spillways and hidden fishing holes. Love your content 618.
That spotted gar was beautiful! 💕 Thanks for sharing.😃
Stop work and watch 618 video. Great Thursday!!!
Bro! Keep hitting the big rivers please. 100+lbs!
What a day! Spotted gar was as you described - beautiful. You know me - always elated when you land a gar of any variety.
I love that what you're calling a "smaller hook" is the size hook we use for large cod and halibut. Not even the people going for large pike would use something like that, at least not many of them.
It’s definitely not a big hook at all, for catfish I usually go with 4/0 to 5/0 circle hook
@@Powerpro78kexactly I personally like 10/0 and 12/0 circles
My dad started watching just because you reel left handed.
Awesome job nick.
Proud of ya.
All good fisherman reel left handed, we say the other way is rigtarded.
Who else also says "See you later buddy" when releasing their catch now?
Great video Nick. Keep up the great work.

That gar was malanistic, which means it was even rarer a catch.
I love these vids just had to stop doing everything to watch saw the notification and clicked right away❤
That gar is awesome👌

Some great fish catching and that spotted gar had a cool pattern! Thanks for sharing! Have a fun and safe weekend and see you next adventure!!!
hope your golden my dude!!!!
that spotted gar is a beauty.
Keren brother
Dang, Nick! I've never seen a spotted gar bigger than 12 inches. Thanks for the vid!
It's great to see that this creek went from being the one where there was seemingly nothing left alive to excellent fishing. I love to see that.
what a beautiful gar, nick.
Love your heart for the sport of fishing.🎣
Nick videos are national geografic level. ❤❤❤❤
Hey brother, I just want to say I really enjoy watching your channel. I look forward to every time you post one of your fishing adventures. I really appreciate that you identify all the fishes you catch and it’s help me to learn what they are. You’re awesome bro.
Like seeing you catch all these type of fish in the creek awesome catch and video we don’t have gar or bowfin in my area
Some great catches and a great upload as always!
Great multi species episode!
You haven’t fished until you catch bluegill on a kiddie pole ….
Light gear is the right gear 🍻
Your heart is in the right place. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks man I appreciate you watching!
Man, I like videos like this when you go to the creeks, and there are just big fish just living in it. Keep up the good videos
Spotted gar is a special catch. Great day of fishing!
What a great fishing spot , it really got some great species living there !!!!
Great stuff nick thanks
As always, great video, Nick! That last bowfin was a tank! Keep the videos coming man!
Awesome!!! Thank you for the fishing tips. How many hours did u fish?
Nothing better than a day of fishing. Sometimes I don't even mind if I don't catch something great.just being out there.
Great catches Nick congratulations. Keep doing what you are doing. Great job.
always in anticipation of one of your videos, buddy, you and Richard Jean. The fishing machine are my two favorite youtubers
That is a beautiful spotted gar! I love the dark background with the spots on its body
Nice spotted gar. Really nice looking fish
a great day fishing for once nick well done and thanks for the entertainment
Plot twist, that grass carp escapes to one day become a 100 pound monster that Nick’s future son will one day catch.
Good on you, true sportsmanship
Beautiful area to fish, always in my prayers 🙏 love you
Happy Thursday Everyone!!! 😃😃😃👊👊💕❤️
That's easily the coolest gar I've ever seen.
Very nice spotted gar. I didn't even know they exist until today.
Great video, Nick!
Beautiful fish
The markings on that GAR were extraordinary.
Multi-species day at the creek, does it get any better ?
Until the next.
🤙🏼🇺🇲🤙🏼
The release looked like something out of a movie. Killed me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice job Nick. Another great vid.

Vid is amazing😊
One of best videos I’ve watched so far of yours!!!
I was fishing last night, 21 inch walleye. I love your videos, man.
lies prob got a 9 oz bluegill
Chores are kicking my butt today, thanks for posting

It has its pros and cons, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. I think it’s better than the chest mount, but sometimes I feel my hands block the view compared to when I had it mounted on my hat. Thanks for watching!
@@618Fishing thanks for the help
Love the b-roll footage!
That. Gar. Wow, amazingly beautiful!
Just another sweet video, always a great time 👌👌
Kudos to the music Nick.
That's an insane catch, nice job bro
great catches

Working the net while working the worm was epic !!!!
😁
Great fishing
Nick great video, thanks again. Best regards from Lanark
That Gar was a great catch!
BRO I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL❤
That first clip and the name got me like 😮😅
good job walking that log!
There were no floaters (dead ones) or live ones, which would lead me to believe that they were taken out or caught by someone else. You are applauded for your efforts.
😂 I've caught 3 bass on hotdogs in a pond I fish for cats. If their hungry I guess they'll eat it. Good work brotha. Keep em coming man.
I personally think doubling up while solo fishing is one of the most impressive things in fishing
Looks like you caught quite a few nice fish. I'm hoping to get out at least a couple more times this year before it gets cold. Still looking for that first flathead.
Awesome video as always would be cool to see more videos in Florida I live in ocoee and there’s a lot of lakes a rivers around here
Nice day bro .. 5 different fish kool day
Spotted Gar = Cretaceous
Bowfin = Maelstrom
Cool double up of prehistoric beasts. And if you know Ice Age 2, you probably get the reference.
here, there, always !
That spot is super special.....I can only hope those weren't the anglers that threw all the gar on bank to die....and I hope they were catch n release like yourself....u inspire me and I enjoyed this episode nick!!!!!as always amazing job editing etc etc
I don’t think they were. They seemed like they were good people. Thanks for watching!
Twins run on your side, huh??? Hehehe I love you ❤️ great video as always honey!
Found ya! I love you too! ❤
Nice

Always an adventure.
I said it before, and ill say it again, you are on the Gar this year, thats bananas.
American fish seem to never give a f..k on hook size😂
Greets from germany, love your channel!
Kiddo car seat eh. Congrats Nick!
Nice spotted gar
Wait! There’s 2 Nicks! I was willing to accept that there was one guy way cooler than me, but two!!!!!!!!!! How can I ever compete?!
Good day of fishing
What a fun day!
That spotted gar was one of the coolest looking fish ever. Are you able to get reproduction mount like it?
Nice!
Neat grass carp
