Went lake sturgeon fishing. The guide used lots of night crawlers on a big circle hook. Like 5 crawlers on each hook. Worked great. Try it.

Just one will work. As long you in the right spot. Caught 62 pounder with one worm

I remember an article in Catfish Insider ( over 20 years ago 🙄) where said he used a big circle hook with as many night crawlers as he could fit on the hook for giant catfish. His philosophy was that the bluegills would nip at the night crawlers which would then attract the catfish.

@@user-wk9wq8yq5uHmm. You’d think if the large fish were attracted to the bluegill, they would then eat the bluegill and not the worm. I’ve never caught anything over 8lbs on night crawlers. However, with live bluegill and cut bluegill, I took my personal best catfish from 8, to 23lbs. I caught nearly a dozen 10-20 pounders that year too.

We use one night crawler and one-half slice of bacon on a circle hook. Rarely fails and the bacon is like candy to a fat kid.

@@Eke817 No, I catch all sorts of fish, and I can catch them reliably. Not to say that a night crawler isn’t a good bait. But it’s not as good of a bait for LARGE fish like large flathead or large blues. Blues are good on cut bait, and flathead live bait. Generally speaking from my experience, and the experience of most people I’ve seen.

I'm sure that blue gill is glad it was colorful and cool looking. Live to see another day

Bait

I'm loving this new series, "the hunt for the river monsters".

Dude, that was one of the sickest fishing spots ever. Places like that are something out of my dreams. An old unused dam that's just been left to nature with all kinds of rockpiles and jams and structure and such. You have to go back there.

I love the honesty and videography on this channel. The fact it’s not edited to catch after catch is authentic!

I wait for this moment all week!!💪💪

Another great day of fishing with multiple species of fish not a a waste of a trip at all! Thanks for taking us along Nick! Have a fun and safe weekend and take care Nick! See you next adventure!

Your last sturgeon video inspired me to get out for em on my local river. Landed a 6 foot white sturgeon from shore. Don't stop the search, it'll be so worth it when you get one. Cheers brother 🍻

I like how after every fish you say, “see ya later buddy.” Shows such a great appreciation and respect for the fish. You are truly what being a fisherman and conversationalist is about! Keep up the great content brother!

Determines whether live bait gets used based on coolness - my type of fisherman

Big fish is music to the ears and makes the 2 plus hour drives worth it

Hey Nick, have you ever taken a subscriber with you on a fishing adventure? If not, I would love to join you!

It's refreshing to see someone else keeping it real... Slipping on the rocks, snagging on underwater obstacles, and just plain not getting the hits you want to. There's a reason it's called "Fishing" after all.

I’m old school with boats when it comes to fishing. I’m impressed with the amount of gear you can get on that kayak and the spots you can access especially dealing with spillways. A traditional flat bottom boat or skiff would be dicey in those currents. Loved this video!

Hell Yeah!!! Get Fired Up!!!! It's fishing time!!!

Great adventure Nick! Cool to see your fishing spots in the midwest. Love the filming, especially the drone footage. Keep them coming.

As always amazing work with the camera....use primarily worm even for large sturgeon....every big one I've ever caught was on worm....set sinker close to your hook cause sturgeon feed on the very bottom even more bottom than cats lol

Best community on the interwebs.

Go Nick go. Make 2024 the year you catch all your new PB's and Bucket list fish. Love your channel bro.

They looked like cat fish bud!

I just wanted to let you know that I like the songs that you put on your videos. I don't know what it is, but they are on point.

Man, what a great looking area. Too bad it was so far away. Scary looking current for the kayak. On top of that rain all day. As always, so fun to tag along.

Best season ever and it just started. Fish On, Brother!

Love the content! Need more! He deserves so many more subs. Compared to the trash on KZread! He's in another universe! ❤😂

Would you ever make a video about how you film/ fishing kayak setup for traveling with cameras?

Always enjoy every episode!

Dreamy fishing spot.

Stay close to your rods Nick , the one that got away!. Awesome spot . You’ll get the monster next time . Great video 👍

Thanks for always taking us on your fishing adventures 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Such a cool spot with plenty of different fish species. Nice find.

Despite the rain what a great day.

8:38 when the music starts… you just wait and expect greatness 👀

Beautiful little fish, I'm glad you released it.

Awesome catches, Nick! This was a good way to wind down this eventful Thursday! Waiting on the triple digit catch!!!!

Best community here on KZread!

Nick, chase your dreams. Fun time! Thanks for taking me fishing!

What a great adventure! That looks like a spot I'd target more for sure. looks like a place big fish would be with the current right up against some slack water, and some deep water.

Nick is living my best life. Awesome!

Think I would have to sit down and cry with joy if I found a place like that to fish.

Coolest spot I have seen you fish....maybe just plain coolest river spot ever. Can imagine how many different species you can catch there, and how pretty it is on a sunny day! Nice work as usual.

Awesome as always be waiting on the next one ! Caught 3 over 4 lb large mouth bass in last couple of weeks and a bunch of small stuff finally getting warm here in upstate n y

You want to catch monster sturgeon?? Come to Oregon and fish the Columbia river below Bonneville dam.we have some of the biggest around,my personal best from a boat is 12 ft.and from the bank was 8.6ft!! True river monsters🤘💪

I’ve been fishing for lake sturgeon. Used a lot of big nightcrawlers on a circle hook. We never had to wait long for bites. Also here’s a tip that could be useful, while a catfish will but a real bend in the rod, the sturgeon bites were always very subtle and gentle. Even a 35lbs fish would gently tap the line so I had to hold my finger on the line so I wouldn’t miss a bite

Enjoy these adventures you take us on, your passion for this is obvious and makes it that much more enjoyable !

Please let us know which river you are on. I enjoy your videos and it has motivated me to get out for catfish. Well I got out last evening on my local river, the Susquehanna. Stiff wind and choppy water ahead of a rain storm but I pulled a Channel Cat out the size that I like for the table. Cooked it up for my wife and she said "get me some more". Music to my ears.

Cant wait until you fish this spot again! 😊

Guy catches one big catfish and goes on a whisker seeker shopping spree!lol

Awesome video, Nick! Thanks!

The Okuma battle cat is one of my absolute favorite rods! From cats to grouper it’s fantastic!

618! Thanks for the clean and chill content!

Awesome spot Nick! After this water goes back down it’ll be a good place to try again, kinda like the river resetting itself 🙌

Thanks for always putting out great content! My boys and I love watching.

Always a pleasure watching your videos

The wiki page shows the lake sturgeon as wanting different bait. That might help getting one to bite. Those catfish you caught were nice.

Thanks very much for the video. I see you've been utilizing some of my skills such as slipping on the rocks, and the fish breaking the line.

My fishing trip got ruined today by 30 mph winds so this will have to do lol.

I love the way you release your fish really cool thank you

It was good to see the ARCH again. TY Nick.

One day you need to make a trip to Selkirk Manitoba for Channel Catfish.

Omg I love that location Nick!! You definitely need to come back to that spot! There's definitely some monsters in there!! 😃❤️🙏

Sore throat, but otherwise good 👍

You need yo sell 618 shirts that say "see ya later buddy" honestly, trademark it. Lol

Missouri's clear waters produce some absolutely beautiful sunfish epically pumpkin seed. It's a bit of a drive from the 618 but I totally recommend you make your way to the gasganade. I think you'd be amazed by the fish there

So the cool brim is called a pumpkin seed. Might need to try a surf fishing trick... boat your bait way out from shore

That's a nice looking spot with some nice fish!

Nice little pumpkin seed that colorful sunfish awesome colorings

You want some flatheads I can bet you'll find some right up near the damn or by that structure like the wood sticking up with a live gill. They are probably holed up right against the damn in washout holes and little nooks and crannies all over. Gotta be some monsters there! Sturgeon are hard to target but hope you get one next time. I caught mine on nightcrawlers by accident more than when I targeted them with other things. Big ol big ball of em worked!

That place was like a perfect evosystem. All those fish were in absolutely pristine condition! ✌️

I drive right by that dam all the time. Good fishing in those parts

Great catch! Also, could you make another video about Muskie fishing (maybe from your kayak)? I love your content keep it up

The biggest flathead I've ever caught was on a shad side. 63 lbs. I've also caught several 1-5 pounders on nightcrawlers. I've never, ever, caught a flathead when I target them. It's always on accident 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey Nick have a great day and l like watching your channel and hope you catch that fish and god bless you

I think that one beautiful fish was called a Dollar Sunfish. What an incredible looking species

Awesome video bud some nice blue catfish that’s for taking us along

Those Blue Catfish look like a really hard fighting fish. Just got back from Thailand where I had Amazon Red Tail Cats to 50lb, proper fighters that give you a tough work out! Also saw an Aussie guy called Dennis fight and successfully land a 130lb Giant Mekong Cat, he uses a special harness as he only has one arm and I had to watch in admiration as he managed to get in the net a species that destroyed me later in the day

Thank you for your time and effort.i got fish the river this week and 😂it wore me out.great job on your videos

That is a cool spot! Apparently it used to be a boat lock, great video. Too bad you didn't get the target species, but those are some nice catfish.

Even though you didn't get a sturgeon that is a pretty cool spot and some cool fish you caught. I just took my new kayak out fishing for the first time yesterday and caught a bunch of crappie. I'm loving it so far.

I like the 618 videos because he is proud and grateful for every fish he catches great and small .

That park can see brim that you threw back was the best bet you had all day

Those pumpkinseeds make great bait. But they are beautiful. Plan on those for my next fish tank build

Again so jealous of yet another beautiful adventure, thanks.

Gobs of a mix of native night crawlers & earth worms is what you need to use.

You’re awesome. You kept my attention the whole time. Very cool. Keep it up

Pretty little pumpkinseed. They're VERY common in Upstate New York.

You always have great music in your videos. Keep up the great stuff!

Great video nick! Keep up the great work

That river looks beautiful. I would loved to have fished it with you! Nice catfish and mean mouth! I wonder if there are any smallmouth in all that current too?!

That sunfish you threw back was a pumpkinseed dynamite bait for flatheads

Watching you fall and then run around the rebar sticking up had me worried bud! Great content, be safe brother...

Last two spillways been the best ever since iv started watching u I’d get a 5 gallon bucket and get a bunch of thoes green ear and all live baits and on very big 2x hook full skip jack big baits big fish brother

I really like the orange line you use. I personally go for bright green lines. ❤

Awesome day !!! Great place !

This place looks amazing

Can't wait to get home to see if you get the big one.

Look at them beautiful cats baby!!! Great job ❤ I love you!
