Most underrated fishing channel on RUclips
Better than a lot of other RUclips videos. The footage is good and experience behind the rod&reel. I want to see more.
This is much much more enjoyable to watch, most other channels blast “relaxation” music...
Totally agree with comments thus far🐻🤗👍
Why is everything on RUclips underrated? Good channel though.
I agree. Love this guy. Although he makes me spend money on lures that prolly don't work where I live LOL like the spider bait hahaha
He caught more musky and Pike in one day than I have my entire life. Nice!
Anyone who’s caught a single pike or Muskie have caught more than I ever have 😂
probably a private river
Me too! 😳
man pike are easy, theyd probably bite at a hunk of steel on a line if you threw one hah, muskies are a bit more evasive but still not impossible if you learn about them. just keep it up and have fun on the water :)
You're not fishing in the right places.
He is the Bob Ross of fishing. Quiet, calm, soothing, no screaming, yelling, over excited orgasmic moaning and exclamations. Just low keyed enjoyment.
No orgasmic moaning 😂😂 couldn’t agree more
ohww yess he is!, so relaxing to listen.
Matt, I cant tell you how much I’ve learned from watching your videos. From paddling with one hand, how you position your net, your kayak setup, and most importantly, your level of calmness in landing a big fish. Just last week I purchased a whopper plopper 110 in perch color because of this pike vid and proceeded to catch over a dozen pike and a dozen largemouth soon after. You’ve seriously improved my kayak fishing and for that I can’t thank you enough. Keep up the amazing work! By far the best fishing videos out there!
that is a amazing comment
@@chrisdejonge3122 that is an amazing reply

Wow very cool
Into and disclaimer 😂
Disclaimer: You may be tempted to use a sick day and go fishing after watching this video.
OUTDOOR PURSUIT “I’m sorry I can’t come in today. My arm is in a cast” 👊😂
OUTDOOR PURSUIT luckily calling for sick days rn won’t be too difficult
Do pike & muskie have unique spots on thier sides like trout & salmon. Can you tell if you have caught the same fish before or are they new??
A sick day is always legit. Lol. You're sick of working and need a good day fishing! Just like huntin season and you have a bad fever so you call in sick. Just don't tell em it's buck fever.👍🤣
call in sick and come back to work with a nice sunburn :D
The fish exploding on the lure was genuinely startling.
I probably would of jumped if that was me haha
Chain pickerel are the same. They are an invasive species in eastern Canada. We call those lures skitter poppers an the top water is amazing
Jitter bugs and those silver torpedoes with the propeller work well too
Sorry, I'm a fool for pickerel fishing
I just read this after that lol
This guy is the human tranquilizer, sends me off to a peaceful sleep everytime
I have never fished for Pike or Muskie but I see why any angler would want to! They explode over the lure, what could be more exciting? Thanks, Matt I actually look forward to getting home and watching you fish! Just Thank You.
"That was SICK!!" That is the most emotion you have ever shown in your videos! Careful, you might lose the "Bob Ross of fishing videos" title!!
Sometimes you just can't help it, had a LMB jump 3-4ft out of the water the other day and it was nuts lol.
This man can have an emotional breakdown and cry abt his ex and I would still watch it
Sehr geiler Name :)
He never will
This is probably one of the best fishing videos I will see all year
Same here !
Matt’s videos are the gold standard of RUclips fishing videos. Good instructional videos along with presenting nature’s sounds at it’s finest.
honestly some of the most entertaining fishing videos. Quite enjoy them, thank you
When @NDYakAngler is saying “That was sick!” and “Holy Crap!” several times in one video it’s gotta be an exceptional day on the water 😎 I literally jumped a couple of times with some of those strikes - thanks so much for a great adventure on the river 👍👍
That whole sequence from 3:05 - 3:30 was absolutely insane.
Surprisingly its not secluded, most people just dont know about this little finger he is fishing in. I grew up fishing this spot.
F’n insane!
I love the simple way you do your video presentation. No branding all over the place, No $70,000 boat with twenty thousand dollars in electronics. Just a simple kayak with a good rod and a reel. The top water action is just the best. Love seeing those big fish just smash those top water baits. Even i get a jolt when a fish smashes it close to the kayak. Keep up the great work
I gotta give you props man! 👏🏽 I get so excited when I get a follow up! Seeing that fish emerge from the deep dark water and they just SHOW UP! Maaan!
what an awesome place dude! I would do almost anything to fish this spot with you haha! awesome:)
me to
You don't even react to big dutch youtubers when they ask you a question for collaborations because you feel to important to... Why should he even react to you, let alone go fish with you 😂🤣?
One thumbs up and a sub isn't enough, I've watched 3 videos and they're possibly the 3 best fishing videos I've seen on RUclips. Great fishing and the host doesn't nonstop talk, everything he says means something and that's rare to find.
Just once in my life would I like to enjoy a day like this
@Ron Idgaf yes sir indeed
@Ron Idgaf I feel you
I live in Cleveland 🙄
@MelloYellow308 yes Ohio has lakes just not as grand of a day like the video
To a Legendary Fisherman: Thank You Larry Dahlberg for creating the Whopper Plopper! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I remember watching him, Al Linder, Doug Stange, and more from the In Fisherman VHS 📼 Cassette Tapes back in the 90’s.
Just coming out of one of the coldest winters I can remember, and these videos are what have kept me sane for the past 5 months. Can't wait to get back in the kayak this spring. Keep it up, Matt...you rock.
Same... I'm chompin at the bit to get out there.
Whispering to yourself over and over again “that’s a real nice musky” “come back, come back”, trying to stay calm usually results in a good day of fishing lmao!!!
Been watching your videos all day while we have a snow storm outside. Made my day. If I was younger I maybe would move. I love your presentation. No BS....just lots of fishing action. Great editing too. Thanks.
I just found this channel and I love it. Your calm but still excited reactions and the respectful way you handle the fish remind me so much of fishing with my dad when I was a kid.. only he called pike and muskie 'Slimy Canadian Alligators' and hated catching them.
Everything about this channel is pro grade. Optics, commentary, scenery, eqpt lists are all nicely done
"Gonna have to super glue the thumb wound" I love it! Classic quick fix, have some when I yak fish too lol
My newest favorite fishing channel!!! Dude, you rock. Love seeing those big effing pike and muskies attack!!! I appreciate the no bells and whistles, just good fishing!!! Thank you.
Awesome! Great video! I’m so glad I got the opportunity to move to North Dakota because I love Musky and Pike! My favorite fish to cash !!!
Best youtube fishing channel on earth hands down...and I watch "ALL of em"
Good job getting then back into the water quickly
This channel is not underrated....I rate it as real & one of the best... it is non-frabricated (not like slick promotionals...geared for ads) but, rather, basic fun on the water... with exciting results. It's not exuding the biggest, or best, or the bragging "non- rights", ...it's the joy of fishing, rain or shine. Hmmmmm ? Wish I were there...Thanks for sharing the adventures and your experiences.
Such an amazing escape from all of the politics and strife we’re being fed.
Just a good man having a nice time with nothing to think about but the fishing and the fun. Love it!!
Just wanted to thank you for letting me come along with you! I don't get out and fish as much as I use to, but you bring it to me! I enjoy it so much! Keep up the excellent videos, love the way you comment and edit the videos! Just like I'm there!
I never subscribed to a fishin' channel so fast!!! Great job!!! 🇺🇸
Same here. This guy knows what he's doing.
I don’t fish freshwater, never seen a bass. But I love your videos, no hype, no music, just the sounds of nature, low key. You capture what it is that makes me fish. Anyway I picked up one of these to try on snook here in Florida in the lagoon/river I yak on. Cheers!
No better way to spend my lunch break. Love your vids, keep them coming!
As Al Bundy used to say " I love me some "BIG'UNS "
The best part of the video is the sound of the lure motorboating on the retrieve.
Absolutely amazing how some of those pike nailed the plopped right up bye the boat! Love how I got to watch that big dude chase and hammer 🔨 that lure! Thank You so much for letting me go along.
Wow bro that was some epic freaking footage!!! How awesome when he swam under the kayak and you ran the lure back and forth, that was incredible live action right there!!
OMG 3:15 Then you get it to come back, and get the Hook Up. A miracle catch if I've ever seen one.
Man I saw that thumb bite from a mile away I was cringing before it happened. Great video tho so much action has to be amazing to watch it up close like that
Yessir, that was crazy looking... Followed you all the way to the boat, that looked freaking sweet dude. Good job!
I love to watch the fish fallow the lure and to see them take it
I really love how when you catch a fish and when you release it, it takes a few seconds like it acknowledged defeat lol
He doesn’t have long intros like most RUclipsrs. He gets right to fishing which is awesome
I love your videos so much. Great to watch when I can't be fishing, and I feel like I am there with you. Thank you for sharing!
Right before he said "that was sick!", I said "that was sick!" out loud.
Ight just us?
awesome
I did the exact same thing
Me too
I think I said F-ing sick, close enough.
Imagine if you had a camera attached to the bottom of your boat, with all those fish chasing the lures so close to your boat.
Love this.. I’m new to a kayak. Bought one to spend time with my son that has one. It’s my new best thing!! Thank you for sharing your days!!
I have the same whopper plopper. Perch 110. That bait has caught more fish than any other I own. There are so many teeth marks on it. If I ever lost it, I think I'd cry.
I was really amazed at how aggressive those pike were! They acted more like musky where you do the figure 8 and catch em boatside!
Really awesome video footage.
Man, you get some serious distance on your casts with that setup!
Whopper Ploppers are bullets through the air
Yea that Whopper Plopper 110 weighs an ounce. I throw them with a 7’6 rod and they go forever
Doesn’t hurt to have a 200$ reel either.😂
I was thinking the same thing..
@@andrewhaley8992 Hahahaha you speak truth.
Holy smokes!!! You’re killing me with envy!!! You definitely need to be a paid spokesman for the Whopper Plopper!!!
Happened across this video 2 weeks before a trip to northern MN. This lure out-fished everything else I brought and turned an average trip into a "I am too tired to catch anymore fish" trip. You earned my subscription.
The Bob Ross of fishing - love this guy!
This place is amazing, it has a lot of fish, congratulations your fishing was beautiful!👍🎣🐠
where is this place? pm if necessary :)
Im here in southern ontario, sadly no one regulated shit and everhthing is outfished. I envy the stated for fishinf
@@NapTheCreeper wtf do YOU MEAN. ever heard of mill lake? if u have a boat, go to the first 2 island's and u will jig. There's 20 pound pike in there and i'm not kidding. my dad caught a 15 pound pike in there and my papa caught a 21 pounder in there, we were gonna throw it back but it bit his hand and so, we kept it. it was gonna die anyway's due to the gill being cut and shit.
Tight lines!
@@ClaimGame-iz4kz god bless you you gave me hope
Where is this spot??
Non stop action with those giants! A day like that is absolute heaven. Great job landing those fish man 👍
I've watched a ton a fishing videos and I must say , this guys (sorry but I don't know your name) are by far the best ones I have seen. Must appreciated & Thanks so much.
WWWWOW. I HAVE BEEN A TROUT FISHER FOR 4 DECADES AND THESE MUSKIES AND PIKE, ACTUALLY SCARE ME WHEN I WATCH FOOTAGE LIKE THAT, SO FREAKY AGGRESSIVE, SO OUT OF THIS WORLD. WELL DONE DUDE.
This is like 10th video im watching from your channel, insta subscribed. Your style in fishing is awesome, your voice is so calm and filming is awesome. Loving your channel, keep it going!
Most entertaining top water video I have ever seen! This makes me want to take out the kayak so badly! Keep up the sick vids!
Like your rundown on your gear.
Pike and Muskie will eat near anything tossed in with anything lol
Love the action of those fish hooked up
Frogs , ducklings , pike love em
My God man. You have me sweatin like an addict over here. What a fantastic day of fish. Lovin those Whopper Ploppers too.
I’ve watched this like 10 times and his videos are what I inspire to be! Such great captures
It blows my mind that people feel the need to dislike content as pure as this :(
I know right if you don't like it don't watch it right content like this deserves a thumbs up right
I Love how you are always positive even if you lost a decent fish you always look on the bright side I love your channel
I dont care what anyone says, i love the explosiveness of pike and musky!
Make more pike and muskie fishing vids i really love them
As usual killer vid! Be careful with that 50lb, I had it break on the hookset once so now never go less than 80. There are some thin tie able wires out there though. Flurocarbon sinks as well and is pretty bulky when you get past 50lb.
We have only begun to explore with our 10 foot ascend kayaks and my wife and I are loving your posts and adventures are very professional videos you are dialed in and an awesome fearless fisherman!!💪thanks so much for sharing words don't describe what large smallies can do to a fisherman addicted for sure.Stay well bro!!!
Just reviewed this video with the plopper. It refreshed my memory that I should have remembered watching this video before asking you if you ever used the Wopper Plopper before. I still have a hard time comprehending that there are small rivers in the country that have such large fish, large quantities of fish and so many different species. Thanks for sharing your fishing adventures again.
This was one of the best ones I've seen in 2020. I'm going to get one of those and try in saltwater. When i catch one on it I'm let you know.. Great job..
I love top water fishing, definitely got yourself into a good bag a fish this trip. Awesome video 🍻 . They do bite lol
I can’t believe there are that many big pike and Muskie in that river. That is a great video. Thanks
I'm really enjoying your videos. Like many others have commented, your laid back style keeps the focus on the fishing and makes your videos so enjoyable to watch. I also wanted to let you know that after watching this video, I ordered a set of Whopper Ploppers (I had never even heard of them before), and tried them for the first time today. I just wanted to see the action so I took a few casts off a little dock on Lake Wingra here in Madison, WI (it's a small lake 336 acres with a max depth of 14 feet), and on about the 4th cast I hooked into what turned out to be a 38" musky - my first ever! I didn't have steel leader or a landing net but the guys at the Wingra Boat house come to my rescue with a net and helped me land the fish and get a picture. Now I can't wait to get out on my kayak with the Whopper Ploppers and try some other spots around the lake. Thanks!
I’ve probably mentioned this before but this is probably one of my favorite yak fishing channels. It’s most certainly my favorite freshwater channel. You’ve created something special here man and I appreciate the content. Don’t change! It’s as close to perfect as is.
How do you like that bass x? If you could only own one rod of that line as a do it all-er backup and guest rod from the yak, what would you recommend? I am thinking the MH rating.
Thanks and tight lines!
Great comment
"Superglue the bite on your thumb." Sounds like a midwestern remedy
During the Vietnam Conflict, Superglue saved many a wounded GI from bleeding out.
As the champion of Georgia fishing I tip my hat to you on ur fine day 💯🔥
Glass like water, thunderous strikes, it don’t get no better than that!
8:30 am here. The birds and bugs In your video are harmonizing with the birds and bugs where Im at. Calming
I have the same net for when I go fishin it’s perfect
That was some AWESOME fishing! First time I saw giant northern! Giant muskies !!!!
Wow. Loved seeing those pike swimming after the bait. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I suggest a long trailer hook you'll catch 90% of the bumpers
Still need to get me a Whopper Plopper...watched many videos with them.
Definitely a good one. I normally use the 110 like he is in this vid.
I found one in the Susquehanna River while wading, in perfect condition, have yet to try it out.
The Whopper Plopper 110 is awesome. I also really like all sizes of the Berkley Choppo and they’re only $10 with the same quality. Gotta have both brands though... they sound a little different and sometimes they prefer one over the other.
Ben Tackett yea hear the 75 is great. I’m in Florida so I typically use the bigger sizes
You can get some really good copies on Amazon for a third of the price, if you are down with that. I can’t afford 15$ lures.
Learned a lot from ND always giving great advice and keeps me motivated through these winters in Michigan
Another awesome video well done love watching you catch those big fish
9:50 I wouldn’t have been able to reel from the amount of adrenaline going through me😂😂😂
Great video.
It would be interesting to see you run a test of a steel leader vs the fluoro leader to see the results.
The way I see it when fishing a topwater lure a steel leader is going to sink down in front of the lure any time I pause it. When I miss a strike I like to pause the lure like it was stunned, then give it some light twitches to make it look injured. With a steel leader it’s going to sink down in front of the face of the fish staring down my lure, then to give it a light twitch I’ll have to pull in that slack the sinking leader created which is going to effect the action of the twitch. I’m sure sometimes the fish, especially pike, won’t care but sometimes they’re picky and either of those two reasons could be a difference maker in them deciding not to bite.
I know fluoro sinks too but it’s not nearly as heavy/dense as steel. I’ll have to pause it next to me next time I use a fluoro leader and see if it does sink, as far as I could tell the buoyancy of the lure and the braided line was enough to hold that fluoro leader on the surface like a bridge.
@@ndyakangler great explanation, thanks for replying
Just cant believe how many pigs you got in one day on that river... Rock on tight lines keep crushing brother
This video was so exciting to watch.They were truly crushing that lure.Wow!
Muskie: "You better let me go."
Fisherman: "Bite me."
What secluded river is this? I live in ND and haven't seen a place like this anywhere
Looks like right behind the lake ashtabula dam
@@dylanlunn7 Now there will be 6 guys chucking whopper ploppers back there this weekend. I know where most of the spots he fishes are by having youtube and a google maps page open and referencing landmarks to overhead imagery, but I would never post the locations in the open and degrade the content that gets put out because the fishing pressure goes through the roof.
@@foragefarmer1300 you must have never fished there before.. its normal to have several fisherman in this area.. its one of the most popular spots around my dude.. and just like you said, everybody can tell the location by watching the video and looking at landmarks anyways so stop being a dick and hiding beautiful spots from people who want to adventure the few nice places we have around here.
@@dylanlunn7 Doesn't make it right.
@@foragefarmer1300 you're right. Being a nice person to other people isn't right. Ill stop.
The smash at 5:50 is what top water addiction is all about. "Hello my name is Kyle and I am addicted to top water grabs", "Hiiii Kyle...."
I've never had a fishing video get me as hyped as this one!! Your videos are amazing!!
How do you tell the difference between the pikes and the muskies, they look so similar
Pike green with small brown spots, Muskie brown with bigger spots that look like strips kind of like a Tiger
Pike's have spotting on them and muskies have more of a line pattern.
Mark Lavalla thank you so much
What dam did you guys fish at
lol
I watch this channel when i am anxious because his voice is so calming
I've only seen 2 of your videos now and I'm subbing. I really appreciate your low-key, chilled, relaxing vibe. You're not loud or crazy animated.. I can kick back after work, watch you fish and wish I was there lol. Keep up the great work!
Same boomer
What?! You also catch “little” ones? 😲
Seriously though, these videos are a bit like porn, - alternative reality of sorts 😉. I mean, all fish are huge, or, at the very least, pretty big. Small fish do not exist. All rivers are gorgeous and seductive, without a single unattractive bit. And the rod pumping action is just relentless.
🤣 My wife and I actually call Matt's vids "fish porn".
