I suffer from depression and see a live therapist. Kudos for you to bring this serious issue to light. Continue loving your videos and "regular guy" fishing. such a great channel

If you're depressed all you need to do is go fishing.

I don’t know how this channel isn’t more popular! Such good content, isn’t just lots of cuts to fish and music. Just fishing! Nice work man! And thanks for your service!

Bro this man is the GOAT,if you agree 👇

Hey FishinMagician! You need to go to the best canals in the state!!! They’re fed by Colorado river water, they’re loaded with fish, and I’ve yet to see anyone else fishing them because they’re out in BFE!! The last time my son and I went we caught 8 smallmouth (we were targeting them), a 2.9lb and 5.0lb largemouth, 5 smaller largemouth, a 32” grasscarp (unintentionally) and 25-30 catfish. Every spot we stopped we caught something. Using minnows, worms and even bread! We were catching catfish every single cast! All decently sized fish. I’ve been three times now and every time had similar results. If you’re going to Pinal county you’re halfway there (if coming from PHX). But you really need to know where to go as there are so many spots with varying results like every canal. If you’re interested let me know and I’ll give you some locations. When I first started fishing no one would tell me where to fish and now I understand why. Once you publish a location it’s ruined. I’m convinced most fisherman give other fisherman horrible advice on where to fish. lol. I’ve found my own spots by simple trial and error. LMK. I met you once at Bass Pro, solid guy! (Both literally and metaphorically!😂😂)

I like to cast my swimbait into the mouth of the spillway and let it drag along the bottom on its own with the current. That always works best for me. Fish think my lure is a dead minnow

That live bait eat was sick! Gotta love when the clicker starts screaming. Those smallies are sweet!

Navy Veteran and I have become my seeing a therapist at my Vet Center. The VA has been really good.

I always enjoy your videos Fishinmagician, had back surgery number 5 Dec-12th got a staff infection about 2 weeks later had to be re-opened up and cleaned out. That left me with a lot of pain since. I was fishing the canals and urban lakes a lot until this situation happened. This AZ native loves canal fishing its close to home. Both the Fishinmagician, and Southwest fishing are what I enjoy watching on az fishing. Hopefully before this summer ends I'll be back at it again on the canals. Take care and God Bless!

Ik exactly where u are bc of that cross for that person that passed away right there.🙏 I’ve fished multiple times right there

I cant wait to start fishing those canels i moving there next month

good one Mark. And thank you for your service.. Best.

Most people are afraid to bring up the subject of depression. I'm glad you are not. If you don't talk about it. The people who need help will not hear the discussion and maybe hear where to get the help they need. They may not be in the discussion, but they hear what is being said and get the info. Well done. Glad you are doing well. Fishing also has to help because it brings family together and let's great memories be made. Be blessed. My friend.

Cool smallmouths. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Another awesome video brother. I feel encouraged to share a little personal information about my mental health and my success from my situation... Ive been on multiple types of medications, numerous councilors and institutions... Nothing seemed to really help me because most of the time, the reality was it wasnt the fact i didnt want the help but the fact i wasnt willing to change my lifestyle and do the work that is necessary to change myself. So over the years i battled everything until i finally realized it wasn't the medicine or the councilor that needed to change, but it was me. Fishing was one of those changes, being active and trying to focus on others rather than myself. Today im on zero medications and i haven't needed a counselor for 5 years and its all because i focused on me changing and doing the work to achieve freedom from my mind. ❤

Him and porter are going to have great premieres tommarow night. Can’t wait ❤

Nice work Mark

You should fish at tres rios wetland… Pretty cool u almost forget ur in south pheonix for a second.. inbetween avondale and Laveen

God bless the S24u, i was able to zoom in on that sign that flashed lol gonna try that spot friday.

100% on Betterhealth. Thanks for the canal fishing!

Green sunfish are so slept on as a bait. Theyre highly aggressive and dont get giant, so theyre perfect size and are always active as bait.

I spent years on submarines, with an 18 hour rotation schedule. This created a disruption to any element of biological clock. I then had about 5 years of normal day shift work life, and now I've spent the last 22 years on nights. Night shift is NOT for everyone. It does get lonely, and I've known many people who got their lives momentarily wrecked while working the dark side. My wife has always wondered why I can fall asleep in an instant. Love your channel, BTW.

I fish there everyday after work bro hell yea!👍🏽

You had some nice fish tacos there. Or some fried hush puppies.

You need to keep a small pack of saltines. Throw one in so we can see how fast the water is moving 🇺🇸🎣🇺🇸

hey bro you plan on getting some summer time trout at the salt river, any tips? i went and only got one on and it got off right at the bank

u are the one that inspired me and my brother to start a youtube channel 🙏

Not too many grocery carts in that canal.

Where is this spot

Hi I'm new to fishing and love your channel! I'm also in Phx area let me know if I can join you. Thanks I would love to learn

Can you eat sun fish? Is there some where I can go to identify eatable fresh water fish? Great videos. Thank you for sharing and posting.

My Fellow Arizonian, I enjoy your content have you thought about making a video fishing in the Yuma canals

I would love to fish there where is this spill way?

fishing is best for mental health

Try using a 2inch spoon Carolina rig

Hey love your videos and congrats on the sponsor! I'd encourage you to look into your sponsor a bit more though as they have a pretty spotty reputation.

I can't wait to watch the goats new video o🎉

What's the name of the stuff you wrap the bait in to stop small fish from picking at it again?

What hook did you have on for the channel cat that chomped the sunfish?

That looks like some of those Buckeye spillways… fish at your own risk!

So many people I know call green sunfish bluegill it actually makes me mad lol I’m driving up to Arizona now and I’m gonna be visiting family and doing some fishing for trout I think.
