Thank you for stressing the need for a PFD while kayak fishing- I wish more content creators would do this. Even in shallow water guys- you never know what will happen, you could get knocked unconscious.
Amazing to see you prioritizing your life jacket over fishing. I’m 14 and lost one of my buddies because he didn’t wear his life jacket. It’s extremely important and glad you set an amazing example for your viewers. Wish more people would just take the extra time to do something that might save them more time.
Bank, kayak, bass boat, John boat or bank fishing, doesn't matter. Matt and Tim are masters at producing the best bass videos on the planet. Thanks Matt.
Pond fishing is zen fishing. Liked the fight with the stud at the end. The stealth approach in a yak, and close quarters combat punching with a slim profile plastic = FUN.
I just want to say thank you to you guys. I don't use conventional gear for bass, I fly fish exclusively, but I cannot tell you the wealth of knowledge I've gained from you guys taking my fly bass game to the next level. THANK YOU!
Loved this video Matt! Great to see you on the yak. What I really liked is the way you are able to find the fish after the bite turns off. I struggle with this… it’s incredibly deflating when you know they’re there but can’t buy a bite. Tight lines and please keep the kayak content coming!
The Lifejacket is super important. Just yesterday there sunk a boat on my homelake. One guy went missing. Just sad and avoidable. Be safe out there guys.
The info given on where the fish are located,, how they behave and changing conditions is some of the most useful content you've done, less emphasis on gear and more on analyzing the situation. Well done!
I definitely enjoy the kayak videos. I do most of my fishing from my kayak. I have a small 12’ boat but only had it out twice this year. It so much easier to load and unload the kayak.
Matt has caught more giants than I have caught fish. LOL He catches a 7 pounder, says nice fish and throws it back. I catch a 7 pounder, I pick my lip up out of the water, weigh it, take a picture, rub it in and tell my buddy he sucks then I throw it back LOL Nice ones Matt!!!!
Love the kayak and pond video, that's how I do most my fishing, also good stuff with the life jacket you just never know, plus I'm from MA so the law is you have to wear one from Sept 15th through May 15th, cuz the water gets real cold fast, nice job tactical keep em coming
This is a great video. I love the way you worked the reel with your left hand. Pretty new with a baitcaster so I'm gonna remember that move. Good stuff.
So who diss liked this video??? I’m so confused about that. Lol. Seriously he must be a sour dude for that. Good video guys. I learn every time I watch you. Thanks for the videos.
I definitely have the rat on the lure wish list. Good on ya playing it safe. Those places on a pond where water is moving in or out are golden! Those out of the way quiet places are definitely special. 👊🏻
How are you liking the casting models of the Halo HFX series? I picked up the 7ft medium light for my ned rig set up and I've been loving it for the price point so far. I'm only about 3 trips in with it though.
Matt moved to Georgia last November from NJ. All I did was pond fish from shore and a kayak. Bought a bass boat, Lake Lanier has been very humbling, but glad to say I'm starting to catch on to fishing here. WHERE is this pond in Noth Georgia? Thxs, love the videos!
Matt, do you have any concerns about how that life jacket would inflate with the GoPro strapped around it? Just something to think about. Anyways, good stuff as usual!
Matt just was down the river Saturday and had a monster muskie hit my 130 whopper plopper in black. Would love to see some more muskie river fishing. Possibly in Southern wv.lol we have got some big muskies.
I've heard that inflatables don't work well in colder waters. I know you mentioned the water is still warm so no problem there but it is something to think about. I guess when it gets cold the c02 cartridge doesn't act the same and fill up as much or sometimes at all.
CO2 is pretty temp sensitive, it doesn't expand as quickly in the cold. I've worn an inflatable this year for familiar / flat water, I'll be going back to my foam vest pretty soon for the cool weather season.
Matt, Will that GoPro chest mount hinder the inflation of your life jacket? I am not trying to call you out or anything. I just bought a boat that came with a mustang PDF and would like to know. Do you have to pull a cord or does it auto inflate?
We definitely want more kayak videos. The bass boats can relax. They have years of content to see 🤣.
Literally 🤣
Facts!!! Haha
I agree. I can relate more to kayaks.
I agree
Seems like a lot of guys can relate to Kayak fishing I've tried it and i say no thanks..

Awesome day Matt and thank you for setting the example for the importance of wearing a life preserver ❤️👊
Finally!!! someone who stands in their kayak to fish!!
Bank, kayak, bass boat, John boat or bank fishing, doesn't matter. Matt and Tim are masters at producing the best bass videos on the planet. Thanks Matt.
When I see bubbles come to the surface, i always wonder what causes that. Now I know. Thanks Matt!
Pond fishing is zen fishing. Liked the fight with the stud at the end. The stealth approach in a yak, and close quarters combat punching with a slim profile plastic = FUN.
Im a kayak guy, these videos are awesome! Thanks for taking me along!
Bubble by me are 40lb snappers lol 😂
As a fellow kayak Angler I love the kayak content. Definitely would love to see more of it.
Yey, more kayak fishing! 😃👍
Great that you guys popped out on the kayak
I just want to say thank you to you guys. I don't use conventional gear for bass, I fly fish exclusively, but I cannot tell you the wealth of knowledge I've gained from you guys taking my fly bass game to the next level. THANK YOU!
The bubbles trick........yeah this pond warrior needed that......
Loved this video Matt! Great to see you on the yak. What I really liked is the way you are able to find the fish after the bite turns off. I struggle with this… it’s incredibly deflating when you know they’re there but can’t buy a bite. Tight lines and please keep the kayak content coming!
Thank you! Hopefully this helps you on your next trip!
Love seeing Matt slaying them on the yak 😎 now you just need Tim out there on the water in one too!
The Lifejacket is super important. Just yesterday there sunk a boat on my homelake. One guy went missing. Just sad and avoidable. Be safe out there guys.
Kayak on new water, small fishery, perfect video
100% agree with the bubbles. Always a good spot to target and give atleast 1 cast at. to echo others also like mentioning of the pfd.
The info given on where the fish are located,, how they behave and changing conditions is some of the most useful content you've done, less emphasis on gear and more on analyzing the situation. Well done!
Kayak bass fishing is the greatest!🎣🎣🎣
nothing worse then forgetting something but that's part of the fun, "we must go on"
Glad to see Georgia was good to you. We love y'all!
Very nice effort. I kept waiting for the Santa-Eskimo roll moment.
Need more of these, tons of us out here yakkin
I LOVE TO WATCH FISHING LIKE MOST OF US COULD ACTUALLY AFFORD TO DO...
Kayak footage is top tier! Loved seeing you pick through your box picking the punch set. Thanks yall!
Kayak video & a Rat? It must be christmas!!! I have a feeling next year, Matt will have a 40 4-stroke Merc on that yak 👍
Love the kayak vids! Also thanks for remembering your life preserver. It’s nice seeing you stay safe.
Love the Kayak content! As always, epic video!
I like that down sized punch rig
I love throwing that magdraft
I got clued in buy the bubbles while fishing yesterday. Good to see you emphasizing wearing a pfd
I always thought the bubbles were turtles 🐢 lol. Also, you need to get a Helix 7 or Helix 9 for that gorgeous kayak.
I definitely enjoy the kayak videos. I do most of my fishing from my kayak. I have a small 12’ boat but only had it out twice this year. It so much easier to load and unload the kayak.
Try a ultraskiff 360 you will burn your kyak
Thanks for coming out Matt!
Echo the PFD. Dumped my kayak once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Crazy how fast hypothermia sets in. PDF saved my ass both times.
Finally some one to challenge gene Jensen in the monthly Georgia tournaments
I know where your at Matt! Lol That pond has some studs!! 😉
Matt has caught more giants than I have caught fish. LOL He catches a 7 pounder, says nice fish and throws it back. I catch a 7 pounder, I pick my lip up out of the water, weigh it, take a picture, rub it in and tell my buddy he sucks then I throw it back LOL Nice ones Matt!!!!
Welcome to my neck of the woods!! Great video 🐽
Yes more kayake videos, questions does the fall transition apply in ponds
Love the kayak videos!
Thanks for getting the PFD. You may have saved a life with that message. They are absolutely required on a kayak.
This was a great video, the opportunity to talk about safety, and some pond content from Matt
Love the kayak and pond video, that's how I do most my fishing, also good stuff with the life jacket you just never know, plus I'm from MA so the law is you have to wear one from Sept 15th through May 15th, cuz the water gets real cold fast, nice job tactical keep em coming
finaly a kyack pond fishing what i do most :)
Awesome video guys!! Love the content and y’all are always informative!! Normally spot on, and help me bring in the big ones
A like, just for the PB Rat!!! Just got a 2 piece for my birthday and caught a nice 3-13 first cast with it...
More Kayak content please 🙏🏽
Just have to mention, what a Great looking pond.
I can't wait until the first actual cold front down here in Louisiana.
Good day out on the water man. Great video!
This is a great video. I love the way you worked the reel with your left hand. Pretty new with a baitcaster so I'm gonna remember that move. Good stuff.
The next time your down in good ole ga I wouldn't mind meeting up at lake kedron in peachtree city. I have a old town 106pdl I use around here.
That looks like sum nice water to be fishing in.
Great vid I love my Autopilot was out at the delta this weekend had a blast catching and releasing bass!
Great video... always learning very practical and informative.
I definitely love the kyack videos.. thank you for this
Good job Matt.
That was fantastic. Thanks for all your content.
Excellent
There is a Reservoir near me with big fish in they stock it heavy around this time
Matt Review the Ultraskiff 360. I have two. The kyaks not for guys with bad backs. Its fishing machine. Soon sold at basspro
Would love to see what you can do at Assunpink Lake here in NJ. Pretty good fish in it but fairly pressured.
Managed to catch a really nice 18" smallmouth ( which is a good fish around here) yesterday on a chrome and black jerkbait. Love fall fishing
So who diss liked this video??? I’m so confused about that. Lol. Seriously he must be a sour dude for that. Good video guys. I learn every time I watch you. Thanks for the videos.
Nice fish and I love the natural tree lined lake, looked peaceful.
Lol, I would love more bank fishing.
Great video, Matt! Lucky you have access to such a pond...
I’ve left my life jacket at the truck before. Gotta have it. Weird crap happens on the water.
Headed to Green River Lake in KY in about 2 weeks! Hope I catch one close to those!!
Nice!!!!!!
Good stuff heading back for your vest.
They only work if you wear 'em!
Would the lew super duty rod 6,8 heavy be a good kyake rod with 40 pound braid? Do y'all have any time in with those rods?
the delta was HOT these last few days, mid 90s, supposed to be 90 something today too, wish i was out there that is a BEAUTIFUL pond.
That’s hot? Never felt your average NC humidity eh. 100s on the heat index all the time with the 98 degree days.
I definitely have the rat on the lure wish list. Good on ya playing it safe. Those places on a pond where water is moving in or out are golden! Those out of the way quiet places are definitely special. 👊🏻
All these years and I’ve never associated the bubbles I see now and then with fish…. Old dogs :)
Love seeing Halo getting exposure!💪🏼🔥
Awesome catches.
Nice!
Please do a video on how to fight /play and land fish once you hook them
Galen? That’s funny, I know a pretty cool guy named Galen as well... lol
How are you liking the casting models of the Halo HFX series? I picked up the 7ft medium light for my ned rig set up and I've been loving it for the price point so far. I'm only about 3 trips in with it though.
I got on a crazy rat bite last week. would catch over 10 a night. ultra clear water so i could dead stick or retrieve ultra slow.
Georgia !!!!!! SO glad you made it to my home state!!! Now you need to hit Lanier. lol. Those magnum Spots are waiting on you Matt!! haha
I like the looks of that savage gear swimbait rod rated 1-4oz. When would it be ideal to use those 1-4oz swimbaits vs 4-8oz swimbaits?
Matt moved to Georgia last November from NJ. All I did was pond fish from shore and a kayak.
Bought a bass boat, Lake Lanier has been very humbling, but glad to say I'm starting to catch on to fishing here.
WHERE is this pond in Noth Georgia?
Thxs, love the videos!
I've lived here in North GA for 7 years...lanier still stumps me to this day....we got our spots where we can go catch some but no giants
Matt, do you have any concerns about how that life jacket would inflate with the GoPro strapped around it? Just something to think about. Anyways, good stuff as usual!
Matt just was down the river Saturday and had a monster muskie hit my 130 whopper plopper in black. Would love to see some more muskie river fishing. Possibly in Southern wv.lol we have got some big muskies.
Try NDYak Angler.
Will do. Thanks
Need a magdraft video!

Hi Matt, sweet vid - quick question: why a 30lb fluoro leader with this swimbait instead of a 30lb mono leader on say a huddleston swimbait?
yay
7:47, that's a little bit bigger than a pond, lol.
Do you still do fishing guides ? Great video and a cool spot to fish !
Matt,
Will that GoPro chest mount hinder the inflation of your life jacket? I am not trying to call you out or anything. I just bought a boat that came with a mustang PDF and would like to know. Do you have to pull a cord or does it auto inflate?
Hi Matt I have a G LOOMIS 893 rod , XFast what should I throw on that Rod ??? bY THE WAY GREAT VIDEO !!!!!
Great video, how about something for us bank fishermen.
