Don’t know about anybody else but I’m ready for Spring !!!!
Same here can't wait good luck when it comes
I’m in Ontario and I’m beyond ready for it to warm up to go fishing
No. We are still ice fishing!
Super ready. Got the yak already detailed and put together.. Can't wait.
Yeah, only because this winter has sucked. Hardly any ice or snow in WNY!
I found your channel in late spring of last year, and in September 2022 I summoned the courage to go bass fishing. I had no idea what to do😅, I just went to the store, got a whopper plopper, and just found a pond. I made my first cast and bam! I had a nineteen inch bass on my line, and somehow I landed it. Because of this channel, and these videos I now have one of the best memories god could give me. Thank you NDYakAngler, thank you so much.
That’s awesome congrats on the catch!
What an Awesome story ! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you come bsck with a BAM BAM story.
Just think of the video fishing games lol they don't even come remotely close to the real thing. The serenity of the area , the birds chirp'n, the smells of nature, the sound and feel of the cast , all calm quiet and then BAM fish on ! You reel'em in , get em to shore , hold em up to admire your catch and then BAM Bigfoot comes charging out the woods and steals your fish !
BAM BAM story.
😂🥰😇
👍
Love your videos, they never disappoint. You don't spend the first 20 mins of your video stopping for gas and getting breakfast or stopping at a bait shop. It right to the fishing action that we came to see. No product ads or annoying over the top commentary. Just fishing
amen
Nor does the word “Googan” ever get said.
@@SwitchbackXThunter lmaooo
Yep, he doesn't have an ego that he needs to stroke.
I caught my first pike yesterday I know everyone here are already anglers but I can't say how ecstatic I am
Congrats!
I remember catching one of my first pikes about 6 or so years ago and the teeth got me good on the finger, didn’t know not to stick my fingers too far into the gills because they got teeth back there but oh well, still was a good time 😊
thats awesome dude...
how long it take you to get that slime smell off ur hands.. lol
only time will get that smell off, or JAVEX but that burns the skin right off.. lol
@@ndyakangler Was this an encore post? Regardless, I Loved it (as usual). I'm not complaining mind you, I appreciate all your content. Hope you're doing well.
God Bless you and your family.
Actual congratulations!
Where I live, there aren't any Pike, but Chain Pickerel. I first caught my Pickerel two years ago, and I was over the moon then.
Enjoy your awesome catch! It will always be memorable!
The big pike, bass and even a common snapping turtle, it was all great. Thanks for sharing another wonderful day of fishing. Spring awaits!
Dude, your videos are so relaxing. You're like the Bob Ross of fishing.
I've been struggling for a week or so with some cripling anxiety and depression and this video really lifted my spirits. It was almost like I could feel the spring sun on my face. I really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you feel better. Anxiety and depression days are never easy.
Been dealing with a lot of that stuff as well, very grateful for fishing and the people who share it. Wish you the best, take care of yourself friend.
@@thatfishingnoob Thanks man!
@@samhanson6114 Same to you, brother. Hang in there. Better days are ahead.
I like to see a kayaker using traditional paddle rather than that silly peddle boat. You know what I mean.
Thank you for this beautiful movie.. It's so calm and cosy with the birds singing in the bacground.. I'm from Poland where we have ugly winter now but thanks to you it will be easier to wait until spring:)
The Bob Ross of fishing, and I'm here for it.
Can't go wrong starting out the day with a new ND Yak angler video!
You remind me of ME! In my younger years of course. I remember getting in trouble for skipping school to go fishing. I had a number of times fishing for days at a time. My friend and I seemed to never lose a chance to go fishing. We fished all over Central and Northern Florida for both saltwater and freshwater species. I never went hungry and neither did my family as I got older. Love your work and good luck fishing.
I stumbled upon your channel recently and have to say how much I enjoy it. With a voice that deserves to be in radio, a casting arm like a laser beam, and the very sportsman like way you respect the fish while putting them back carefully and quickly, you are a treat to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thanks I’m glad you enjoy the videos! I’m looking forward to getting back out in the kayak this spring!
@@ndyakangler Looking forward to some new footage. Best of luck.
That pike was phenomenal. But really, I could sit in that little quiet backwater, and catch those largies all day and be a happy fisher....
Love your vids.
A man told me once to cast with confidence every time and if you lose one go get the next one and focus. You're a good rodsman. It's all about getting on the water..Keep up the good vids.We all appreciate them. Fish on!
Always beautiful fish, amazing scenery, and the soothing sound of the paddles moving through the water. Favorite YT fishing channel and its not even close
the ASMR fisherman is back with a nice relaxing video
Absolutely
Such a relaxing vibe
Up here in Maine, jonesing for some open water fishing. Thanks to Mr. ND Yak for stashing this away for his loyal viewers.
Nothing better than some maine pike fishing. I'll be up there as soon as the water opens up
Same
Me too!
That lunker hitting lure in front of your 'yak was exciting to watch.
Red-winged blackbirds have a relaxing call. Makes me want to stop fishing and loaf in the sun.
Chuck chee of the blackbirds.😊
Thanks as always for superb content, a kind and inviting demeanor, and representing the outdoors with grace, strength, and respect.
Pike and smallies fight hard. it's awesome.
I love your radiant meditative videos. The flash and glint of fish flanks deep down and the sudden heart stopping takes . For me, you capture the essence of angling. EBI - you are surrounded by spectacular wildlife sounds and sights - was that a pair of bald eagles I saw? So many birds singing. I would love to know more about them. But thank you - your channel is mesmerising.
Been watching you fish for years now and I got to say these videos of you fishing in summer when it’s really winter are torture. It literally snowed 9 inches up here in maine Thursday !! But keep them up please gets me pumped for spring!!!😂
I love when that happens. Reeling it in and last second when the lure is back at the boat, BAM!
I love your background music... Bird songs including the Sargent birds.
I'm not sure if you northern folk call them that.. Commonly called blackbirds.The ones that have the red shoulder patches on the wings..
Also the other song birds occasionally joining in..🕊️
PS.. I'm never disappointed with your skills at hooking the big ones 😎👍
Your superb videos got me kayak fishing and I can’t believe I didn’t do it years ago. This video nicely captures the pleasure of actually paddling a craft snd getting into tricky spots.
Recovering from a large knee surgery it’s only day three, and I’m so glad to see a new video pop up :)
6:06 Was crazy man, The acceleration on that pike was insane.
I know, that’s like my record pike size😂
Fun fact: Pike is the fastest fresh-water fish in the world!
Your program is so nice,with out a whole story before hand, we start fishing, thank you Christine
We have tiger muskies here, supposedly pike in Utah lake. But nobody goes there, it is the central drainage for EVERYTHING along the Wasatch front. Straight toxic water no bs. It perpetually has massive blue green algea blooms, huge amounts of heavy metals etc from the cattle ans fertilizer run off. Tiger muskies are as good as it really gets here and they call them the fish of 10000 casts for a reason. I did absolutely DOME one on a jetski at top speed once😅 thought I hit a log or a person it was so solid a thump. Turned around and there was a MASSIVE tiger musky. Dead as a door nail. I pulled it into the footwell, and it still hung 1.5 feet out the back of a large jetski, Absolute monster. Aside from that I've only hooked into 1 musky in 15 years. And we've got a "real good" lake nearby I frequent. I'm jealous 🤣
15:02 That Snapping Turtle was in a deep slumber until you woke him up!!!!!!!!!!! I remember touching a big 40+ pound Carp that was sunning in the shallows about halfway out of the water and when it woke up it went off like a high speed Torpedo on the waters surface for about 30+ feet, a sight I've never forgot.
Those carp have freaked me out a few times! They lay there still until I almost run into them with my kayak and it’s like a bomb goes off lol
At 6:11 that scared the crap out of me. 😂
Thank you for the video today brother. My friend committed last night and i needed something peaceful and wholesome this morning.
It's nice that you show us when you unhook de fish. I don't have much experience and for me, this part it's a big challenge seeing you doing it helps me be more confident! Thank you brother great content!
Still caught that big pike it was a good day 🎣👍
You have this video/fishing thing down pat. No ridiculous music...just the sounds of nature and paddling through the water. Other fishing RUclipsrs take note, this is how it is done.
Love the redwing blackbirds chirping in the background. Lots of bird noise. Just fantastic! 😊
My favorite sound of spring!
Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable. I've always found fishing to be therapeutic. Thanks for sharing!
The sounds of nature 🥰 best sound in the world
No hunting season.
Punky ice in our area, the good spots are hard to fish without a machine.
I need the snow around for a few more weeks for scouting, but after that let's get to casting.
But first it will be jigging for walleye on Saginaw river as it doesn't close this year😁
NDYakAngler's videos are so calming/quite that if there was a jump scare in any of his videos you would get a heart attack.
His soft spoken ways reminds me of like he might be the BOB ROSS of fishing!
@@orangetabby2012 Yup!
My first fish in a kayak was a big pike on a whopper plopper and it hit right at the front of the kayak. That brought back the feeling of shock and excitement I had. Awesome.
Oh wow. I jumped a country mile when that big pike hit it right at the boat. I can't imagine what your heart rate was like about then.
Yeah and people wonder why I’m shaky sometimes when I’m showing the fish lol. You go from calm and peaceful to a big fish smashing the lure and it’s an instant adrenaline rush!
@@ndyakangler I have been to Canada fishing several times and it seems those big pike just take particular pleasure in doing just that. I just gotta say this. I know I have told you several times before, but I just NEVER miss one of your videos. This is my favorite show on RUclips.
Best fishing channel on RUclips.
I have that headbanger spitfire in black and it is one of the most fun lures to use. I mean, all topwater is a blast, but that spitfire has some mean action!
Matt, that Pike was amazing!
I can’t wait to hit that spot this spring! There’s usually a few nice pike roaming around there!
10:26 Kayak skiing.. got to remember that move!
I appreciate that you don’t keep those bass on beds out of the water long. We wanna put the least amount of stress on them as possible , so they make lots of babies. 👍🏼
Absolutely the most chill, informative and entertaining fisherman I watch on here.
You got great style and know your fish and their environment for sure! Much respect from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦 👊🏻
Hey Nick 👋 You are by far my biggest influence on RUclips and appreciate what you do! Also, loved how you kept the sunglasses on indoors when talking to the camera 😎 Keeping true to form 😉 💪
Makes it even more awesome catching and releasing that big brute from a yak! Ive known of folks by me that keep big pike like that sadly, nice vid yak angler!
Yeh. That pike hit was pretty cool.
Hearing them redwinged black birds is great sound. I live in a river town in Iowa (mighty Mississippi) and they must like water. Rarely see them in town. Nice Vid
Now I’m going to have to get me a fishing kayak…you rekindled that need for catch and release…a good day on the water to occupy one day a week for my retirement activities…thanks😎
I usually start out my day reading the paper but decided to treat myself to this first today! So worth the change up!
Here he is! Nice on a long weekend 👌. Just bought a new baitcaster will be going tomorrow for sure.
What the pike miss out on looks like the bass will pick it up :)! Awesome video and great editing! Have a great rest of the weekend and take care dude!
Was just about to grab some shut eye and now I have to stay awake at least for 24 minutes and 19 more seconds
I love when they hit it so close to the boat, it's such a rush!
Not going to lie Matt, when that big pike slammed the Headbanger Spitfire near the Yak I puckered. Probably since your great videos feel like we're sitting next to you. The bass action was good too. Thanks for taking us along brother.
Great way to start my day just waiting for spring fishing.. watching a new ND Yak Angler vid while respooling the braid on my baitcasters and my new Spitfire lure and my Googan Jr's are just staring at me. The fever is real!
This was awesome. Thanks for saving this for us. Very nice pike.
NDYak you rock! That pike was big af! Love the channel and content! Peace
25”of ice on my favorite lake out here in Utah. Going ice fishing Monday and can’t wait for spring to get the boat out!
Man not gonna lie that bite at the 6:15 mark scared the piss out of me 😂😂😂 I was basically in a trance from the sound of the lure and the birds in the background and then suddenly all hell broke loose 😂
The actual time stamp for the Pike attack was 6:07
I had a hole on the east Gallatin River that I fishrd for big trout. I fished it in all seasons from 1975-1997. One 7 pound rainbow.
All I can say is, thank you, and more videos, please!!
Had to start laughing when you lost that pike in the beginning and I heard you say sh.. under your breath. Good to hear that Bob Ross lets it fly every now and then just like the rest of us 😆😆
I loved that Steve Irwin impression 😂😂
Right??? 😂
Your channel popped up yesterday fir me, love the content so far. Makes me miss fishing when I lived in the UP.
That big pike lost, was what we call down here in the south, an LDR = Long Distance Release :D
Nothing gets your heart going like a top water bite right at the yak :-)
Great content🤜🤛🐟🎣 greetings from Finland🇫🇮🇫🇮
This is the kind of fishing I am dreaming of, calm, full of wilderness, and solitary. I fish bass, pike and catfish, but I like pike the most. Be careful with that treble hooks and why don't you get a silicon net? Silicon nets are a lot easier in terms of hook tangling at the net and dry much faster after its use, causing less smell.
Another superb video! Go away snow!!!
The one pike you did catch was a good one. Nice fish. Startled me when it struck.
Nice Pike!!!
Good seeing fresh new videos!!!
Miss watching your videos
3:32 bottom right you can see the bass come out of the reeds and swim away
Was not ready for that lol love how you kept the anticipation going.
Man, I love your top-water bite footage. So, exhilarating even just as a viewer. Awesome video! Always look forward to these. Immediate save for later if I cant watch right away. 👍
Love your videos. Keep up the great content. Shout out from KY.
I really like how you set this one up! Thanks for another great video!
I absolutely LOVE fishing with surface baits!
love never having to scroll to the fishing part!
6:05
HOLY FACKK MANGGG 😨😨.. make me spit my water out all over my screen why dont ya🤓🤓 ...
LMFAOOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i was gettin all relaxed an everything, listenin to the water lap on the kayak ever so gently, the birds.. then WHAMMO.. need a new computer monitor lol..
when ur fishin jacks, try givin the lure 1 or 2 even 3 quick lil yanks every 10ft or so, makes an already tantalizing action of a lure that much more so..
anyhooo..
thx for takin me along with ya on this trip..
see ya next time BassMang
👋👋😎😎
That hidden cove you found reminded me of fishing some of the more open areas of Caddo Lake. I'd LOVE to see you spend a week or two in THAT swamp to see what you'd catch up between the Cypress trees and knees. You'd just have to watch for Cotton-Mouths and Alligators...lol.
wow! at 6.08 ... that smash caught me totally unaware! that was HUUUUGE!
At 6:08 that hit scared the hell out of me 😂😂😂😂
6:07 That was a depth charge 💥💥💥
good!!!!! I am waiting for the new season of spring. there will be a lot of pike.
Pike are fun to catch.
Dude I cant wait to hit the open water again! Thanks for posting awesome stuff as ALWAYS!
Little bit of Canada coming thru in your abouts 😁
I’m watching from the UK! Love the videos. I hope to go on my local river tomorrow and see if I can hook into a pike. I too use the kayak! Very enjoyable way to fish. Tight lines! Keep the content coming
This is going to sound odd but I feel that when I watch your videos I get excited about it as you do. I feel like I've fished and don't have to go myself.
It was like Bob Ross losing it at 14:26..lol..awesome day of fishing my friend..
I think for an kayak and big pike guy a trip to the coulees and creeks north of devils lake would be a pretty fun trip for you in the spring time
Nice relaxing video. Thanks.
Can't wait to fish top water again. Love your videos!
