Your subscribers gave me so much amazing support. However, I am sorry to say the tumor has already grown back to its original size. Problem is my surgeon changed careers, suddenly. I'm hoping to find a surgeon in my area to nelp. In the meantime, your show helps calm me. So talented.

    Hi Nick. I've got a quick fly fishing tip for you if you'd like. When you send your line out, right when it hits the water, bring the line with your left hand and place it under your right index finger (known as the control finger). Then strip fish in from behind the control finger. You might have this down already, but the video shows you losing a fish with your line way out in your left hand. Just a tip (as I know you are very humble about your fly fish skills). Watch your video every week with great anticipation! Thanks.

    I agree with the slow day of fishing/ one good fish idea. I went fishing a couple weeks ago at Irvine Lake in southern California. At the time I hadn't caught a fish in 15 years (ish). Living in SoCal for 12 years now, I haven't been fishing much but I have been to this lake several times. I had a little bell on my rod like you do. I was reaching for the rod to check the bait because it had been out there for at LEAST 30 minutes. The bell rang😲 I thought I had bumped the rod reaching for it but when I started reeling, it started reeling back! I was shocked to find a fish on there. It turned out to be a 19 inch rainbow trout. The largest fish I have ever caught in my LIFE!! ONE fish redeemed all those skunk trips to the same lake, and reinvigorated my excitement for fishing. He was good eating, too. Actually fed 2 people. Anyway, nice one, Nick

    I know what ya mean....that 1 fish! This past week-end, I was out fishing with my sons and we were having an ok day, a few Bluegills, a couple of 2-3 pound largemouth. Then, right as I made what was supposed to be my last cast of the day, my line took off like a rocket. That fish must have made a 100 foot run straight across the river then sunk like a rock. As soon as I started feeling it in, it woke up and zig-zagged all the way up to the Shore, fighting every inch of the way! When my oldest son finally got it in the net....it was one beauty of a Cat. She weighed in at 22.6 pounds! Same as you, thank God I had 50lb test braided on the reel or I definately would have lost that beast. We took a bunch of pics and let her go to hopefully give someone else the thrill of hooking her. We decided to stay for a little while longer but she was the last catch of the day. Oh, what was the bait? A nice strip of raw chicken from a leg. A semi ok day turned great because of 1 fish.
