there we go fish on oh it's a nice one oh my gosh holy smokes you guys it's a monster what's going on everybody nick from 628 fishing here and welcome back to another fishing adventure marked by shivers preacher says whoa he knows in this episode we are heading to a spillway that i've been told holds some absolutely massive fish the only problem is the fact that this spot is over two hours away i'm excited to get out there and hopefully we'll be able to catch some of those big fish washed up on the california sea we have finally made it to this remote hidden spillway and it is looking very good there's quite a bit of water flowing through it and i am seeing some big fish activity now as far as baits go i did not skimp i brought quite a few different options of course you know i brought nightcrawlers but along with the nightcrawlers i brought some frozen carp and a frozen goldfish so i've got a few different options let's get started all right i've got a big hunk of frozen carp on my big catfish rod let's toss it out there along with that big bait let's go ahead and toss out a night crawler [Music] this water looks like chocolate milk i don't think that's going to be good for fishing but i'm trying to stay optimistic [Music] there we go fish on nice fish always pulling that drag first bite guys and it is a decent fish i've not seen it yet no idea what it is [Music] this water has no visibility it's right below the surface but i have no idea what species of fish this is what in the world is that [Music] oh no way no way oh my gosh you guys i can't believe it it's a flathead catfish i just caught a flathead catfish with a nightcrawler what an awesome first catch i've heard stories of there being some big flathead and blue catfish out here in this spillway but this is the first flathead i've caught here and it is a beauty this guy has a very cool pattern on him and he appears to be really healthy awesome see you later buddy i'm not sure what i was expecting my first catch out of this spillway to be but i know for a fact i was not expecting it to be a flathead catfish what a cool first catch i caught that catfish on his night crawler suspended beneath his float he was hanging out right next to that current in the slack water i cannot wait to see what we hook into next [Music] all right guys so i picked it up fish on oh my gosh this one almost feels heavier than the first fish holy cow you guys nice fish nice fish nice fish what in the world are we hooked into [Music] he's a fighter i'm not sure what's underneath the surface i'm trying to keep him off the bottom but i do not have much control over this fish oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh you guys i have to lay on this fish if it is what i think it is no way no way no way no way yes it is oh he's not done he's not done he saw my net for one second and he did not like it he is hanging out right on the bottom man please let me lay on this fish please let me land this fish this guy is quite a bit stronger than that first one this fight's already gone on about four times as long [Music] in the net yes oh my gosh you guys it's a nice flathead catfish i do not catch many fly heads this is one of the biggest ones that i've landed what an incredible fish and i caught him on the night crawler with my ultralight so much fun just like the first guy he's got some incredible colors on him see you later buddy yes flathead catfish are one of my favorite species of fish they're pretty much freshwater sharks and i cannot believe that i just caught two of them back to back today is quickly turning into one of the best days of fishing that i have had in a very very long time funny enough i caught both of those flatheads on this exact night crawler let's see if we can catch a third all right guys sling has the bait fish on another nice fish you've got to be kidding this one was hanging out on the other side of the spillway oh my gosh nice fish he's right here but i have no idea what it is yet all i know is that it is powerful no it broke off i should have done this earlier but let's go ahead and up the tackle on this rod i've got a float with a big j hook instead of using a night crawler let's try using a piece of this goldfish underneath this float if there are some bigger catfish in this spillway i think they'll go for this alrighty guys let's try fishing this bait directly inside this spillway here we go [Music] all right guys sling has the bait sling has the goldfish there we go fish on oh it's a nice one oh my gosh holy smokes you guys it's a monster it's a monster monster inside the spillway oh my gosh i can't believe this guys i cannot believe this how am i gonna land this fish i need to get him out of this spillway it's a beast it's a beast all right he's out of the spillway now we need to get him in the net yes there we go oh my gosh it's a beast he picked up that chunk of goldfish three fish so far today and all three of them have been flatheads my biggest flathead is right at 12 pounds 8.6 pounds awesome see you later buddy yes i am in complete shock right now you guys if today was not already the best day of fishing in a long time it definitely is right now because i have caught three fish out of this spillway today and all three have been flathead catfish and as far as i'm concerned that last guy was the king of this spillway but they do get a whole lot bigger than that and i am not done fishing yet coming in at just over eight and a half pounds that flathead was by no means a monster but i had some difficulty getting control of him with that last combo i was using so i went ahead and i upped my tackle a third time and i have a bigger piece of bait let's see if there's any bigger fish hiding inside this spillway here we go it is no secret that flathead catfish prefer live bait over cut bait all of the ones i've caught today have come from nightcrawlers and one piece of goldfish unfortunately i am out of goldfish let's go ahead and toss the cast net out to try to catch some fresh bait here we go whoa what you guys i just got a big common carp with the cast net no way this guy is excellent catfish bait i'm really hoping to use a small live bait though and on top of that one of the frozen cup bait that i brought is actually common carp so i'm gonna go ahead and let this guy go oh see you later buddy that was not a bad first cast with the cast net by any means but i would love to catch a small live bait let's toss it back in the spillway not a single small fish that tells me that this spillway is stacked with large predators but not many small bait fish i've heard stories of absolute giants being caught out of this spillway so to catch one of those fish let's go ahead go for broke and toss out this absolutely massive carb head this is a monstrous monstrous bait here we go [Music] [Music] there we go fish on push on you guys [Music] it's a nice fish [Music] see if we can land him oh almost in the net man everything living in this spillway is a fighter they're just dealing with this current non-stop making them extra strong there we go in the net awesome it is a really nice common car i don't think this is the new personal best let's go ahead and get a weight of him 6.12 i'm gonna go ahead and check it my personal best is six pounds so this barely beats my previous personal best common carp by 0.12 pounds yes common carb get a whole lot bigger than this but this is the biggest one that i've landed see you later buddy this carpet has been out there for quite some time and i'm pretty sure i have not gotten a single bite let's go ahead and check on the bait oh no way it's gone now i believe one or two things happened one either it just fell off on its own or two which i believe is the likely cause a turtle picked it up either way no fish on the giant carpet darn one of my goals that i made for this year was to consistently catch more flathead catfish today we caught three that is the most flathead catfish that i've ever caught in a single day and the funny thing is i was not even targeting them needless to say today was a huge success one of the best days of fishing i've had in a very long time not only did we catch those three flathead catfish but i also call a new personal best common car so overall i had a lot of fun today if you guys enjoyed this episode i'd really appreciate it if you left a thumbs up possibly think about subscribing if you haven't i will catch you guys on the next one bones from the buffalo across the river [Music] watching the spirits leave their homes [Music] there we go fish on fish on guys oh i'm not certain but it looked like i had a fish foul hooking the tail as you guys can see there are a ton of carp in this spillway most of them seem to be common carp most of the spillways i go to are overrun by silver car so it's cool to see common carp as the majority
