6 over 20"! Epic Day Of Kayak Fishing Smallmouth On Beds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- It's the end of May and the smallmouth are on beds so I hit the river in my kayak in search of some fatties! It ends up being one of the best days of bass fishing I've ever had!
I really like your page man. No flashy edits, no constant choking sponsorships down our throats, just the love of the sport. So refreshing.
Amen, Brother! I was just telling our friend here about being on a Weather site that had, like, 11 minutes worth of actual video content...and another 10-11 minutes (At least!!!!!), of worthless commercials that I personally have no use for, nor am I interested in! You and I are DEFINITELY on the same page, when it comes to commercialization!
Exactly.

Get this man to the top, I've watched a lot of other fishing RUclipsrs but I've officially decided u r the greatest by far nice work

Its childs play to catch them while they spawn. In some countries its even against the law. A real fisherman would respect the fish, and the future of fishing for all.
@@forestcityfishing4749cry about it
You are indeed blessed to have such world-class smallmouth fishing near you! I'm jealous, but envious...great stuff!
Nothing but fishing, action and no BS. Been watching for few years now and I could watch all of them over and over. You should be the TOP fishing channel on YT. Thanks for the content that you put out.
Dang, you caught more huge smallies in 1 day than I've caught in my entire life. That was awesome
Just finished that exact same thought
this comment makes me happy to live in the great state of Minnesota to many lakes and fish to keep track of
Most underrated RUclips channel
Going back and revisiting your older stuff
Happy to see you have a good day
I often put myself in your shoes and share your joy
Another great day of fishing 🎣 with some beautiful small mouths. I’m addicted to your show. Relaxing, beautiful scenery, beautiful fish 🐟 and your presentation of each fish is excellent! Please keep up the great work!
If that fishery was in NJ, there would be 15+ kayaks in the water and people lined along the banks. You've got it made in the shade my friend. Totally envious :)
If it was California they be standing on each other's shoulders.
jasontheryan you are not lying tell me about it
Same way up Lake Erie poor bass have no lips left by June
Totally true
Could watch your videos for days man! These Smallies are unreal. Amazing content!
wow this brings back childhood memories of fishing with my dad. I always loved small bass fishing the best they fight the entire time. I grew up in western PA. I have not fished in years but after watching a few of your posts makes me want to start fishing again.
I love the camera angle and the fact I can see the fish eat your bait is amazing, an under rated anglers channel that can actually catch giant bass 🤙🏼💙🇺🇸
Your content is very relaxing, much different then the other fishing you tubers I watch and I am not complaining, good stuff my man
Love how clear the water is and how you can see the smallies swim up and away with the worm on camera
Next year I'll have to sneak up on a few beds and drop a GoPro down next to them before I try to catch the fish off them. I wish I would have done that with a few of these, I even had an extra GoPro with but I was having so much fun catching them it didn't even cross my mind.
@@ndyakangler I just found your channel and subscribed. I live in the twin cities. I really enjoy your unique take on fishing videos: relaxing and enjoyable, not suspenseful and dramatic. Nice job and keep going because no one else is doing what your're doing!
Great fishing program. All point of view as if I was fishing with you. I'm hooked!
i luv this channel, no terrible music and other bs. just pure fishing and the sounds of nature. i also like tactical bassing for theri info. i trust guys that arent tournament anglers haha they arent keeping secrets
Yes!!! I love the long video's because they carry me through a lunch break! I'm going to take you on the offer to come fish with you next year, already saving for a kayak. Keep fishing brother!
Awesome, sounds good man! The first edit of this one was like 45 minutes long lol. I figured I better shorten it down a little bit. It could have easily been an hour long video if I included all the 19”s too!
i cant believe your videos ..you are very lucky ..what a great fishing state,,cant wait till the susquahanna river clears
up to start the season... love kayak fishing..
Philip Good hey where u from? I live a hour away from the Susquehanna
Epic indeed!!! Such gorgeous patterns! I miss wading in the middle of the Wisconsin and pounding them on chartreuse closers
This guy gives accuracy a whole new definition, superb fishing.
I love the sounds of red-winged blackbirds when I'm chasing smallmouth and walleye...
The sounds of heaven.
"Those smallmouth wore me out today" said no one ever but you lol very, very awesome hope I can say that some day!
I love the underwater camera footage. Can’t wait for this year version. Another great video Matt.
Love the videos! In this vid at the 21:46 mark there is a fish that comes into frame and its HUGE. It was sitting right in front of your yak and may have been the biggest of the day. Keep up the great content!!
I saw it, I think it's a carp lol
thats a great fishery you have thanks for showing what you use to catch the fish they are some real great ones
I really like that you don’t start at home and talking on the ride to the spot. Great video 👌🏾
This channel should have 10 times as many subs. Another great video man
Thank you for sharing. Robby in Texas
This was my favorite video so far! It was playing on my smart tv and the volume was low. At 10:50-11:10 mark I thought the train sound in the background was a “movie suspense” sound effect that you added until I replayed it!! 😂
I really enjoy the kayak setup walkthrough videos also. Thx!
Love the part at 16:53 when the goose flies out of the tree -"woah jeez"
This just relaxes me, thank you
I thought you had added some suspense music trying to catch the one eyed fish. Then I realized it was a train horn! Great video. Love how you let your rod do the work and not just reel them in as fast as possible
Luda_ yanez exactly he actually plays the fish that’s what I do not sure why all the googans hook a fish and just drag it in in 2-3 seconds where’s the fun in that
At first I thought the trains at 10:50 were some ominous soundtrack
Trophy fish has been spotted. Prepare your line...
You have single handedly boosted North Dakota tourism! I live in Ohio and fish Lake Erie pretty regularly but after watching several of your videos I'm planning a trip to ND! Keep em coming bro!
I do some fishing in ND but most of my videos are shot in MN. I live in Fargo about six blocks from the river that divides the two states. ND has some great fishing but there’s over 1000 lakes and several rivers to pick from within a 90 minute drive on the MN side.
What a day on the water. Awesome video man. Those were some Beautiful fish. 🤙🏻
Matt, if you only knew how blessed you are regarding the amazing fishing that's near you. Sadly Michigan's lakes [and quality rivers], are replete with cottages, homes and the associated PWC, jet skis, speed and ski boats, that have [as a rule], brought the fishing seen on your channel to a halt. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for you; and I hope things stay just as they are and better. God bless.
Best 5 of 102.25” is enough to win most tournaments! Great day of fishing!
That day was as good as it gets. Glad to follow along with your adventures. It's almost Spring here in NJ and I can't wait to get back out on the water and get after those smallies. Almost time to un-winterize the yak...finally!!
I watch your adds without skipping cause your the best fishing channel
The scenery and bird life in the background is amazing, miss the river fishing
I love how many more fish you can see in the water that he ignores. A really beautiful healthy fishery.
Awesome Fishing ,love catching Smallmouths too ,only caught a couple over 20 here in. Western N.Y. ,You videos give Me Inspiration Thanks !!
Very nice fishes! Just a happiness.
Like this.
*Very Cool Fishing Congratulations Fisherman!* 👍🎣🐟🐠😊
I really like your videos. It blows be away that I used to drive right by where you are fishing and I didn't even know about the smallie population there. I would've been fishing it all along had I known.
Epic!! What a beautiful river to have access to!! Well done!!
Thanks! I’ll have to bring the scale with this year. I’m hoping to time it out right where I can get them before they drop their eggs and hopefully get a new PB smallie!
Textbook video man! Thanks you for taking your time and making videos.
That was a slaughter on big smallies. Love the videos.
I found your channel while longing to go smallie fishing again, waiting for this snow to go away and the opener to get here. I love your laid-back style and showing the fish to your hat-cam! As an aside - through my years of fishing experience, I've come to know that the males are the ones who build and guard their nests. Cheers to more "smallie-thumb" in the future!
Thanks! Up until a few years ago I’d never even seen a bass on a bed. I guess I just assumed these bigger 18-20”+ fish were female.
@@ndyakangler In the end, nothing is more fun than spending a good day on the river, catching some beautiful smallies (especially on topwater); it doesn't matter if they're male or female. ;-)
man what a day. I gotta get after them smallies soon been to long. keep after then. be safe.
That jumpscare from the goose was pretty funny lol awesome videos. Wutsup from wisconsin man keep it up
What a boss. Doesn't even look for his net to land those pigs! I would be freaking out grabbing my net 😂
I really like your channel, outstanding footage but I’ve got a question. I’m a trout and salmon guy and to us it’s an absolute sin to fish spawning beds. I’m guessing not so with smallies? Does it not bother these fish being disturbed while the spawn is on?
It all depends, people really need to assess the situation before pulling them off beds. On this river there’s very few panfish and none in the area where the bass spawn so as long as they’re released quickly they go right back to the bed and no harm is done. Most lakes will be crawling with panfish in the spawn areas though and they’ll be quick to jump on an unguarded bed so in that case it’s best to leave the bass alone.
Waiting for open water. Any day now. This clip's a killer way to get pumped. Congrats on an excellent outing. Nicely Done . . . .
I can’t wait for bass opener. I have the Rideau river which is very similar with a nice small mouth population, along with musky and pike. Just got my first fishing kayak 🙂 I’m watching all your videos biting the bullet to go fish.
One of the best fishing I've seen on RUclips. Keep it up
That was so awesome. I'm a new sub. Love the smallmouth videos. I've been so busy largemouth fishing all spring I have not taken the time to go down the river in the yak for some smallies. After watching a few of your videos that's about to change.
They were hitting the Whopper Plopper here in MN this weekend. What a fun way to catch them!
Id kill for a day like that. I tell you what, come fish Montana and I'll trade for your taking me wherever that is. haha. Much love.
Ahh, sun shining, birds chirping, trains and ambulance sirens screaming in the background, gotta love the sounds of nature lmao! You sure did crush it in this one, them were some really pretty fish. Awesome video bro!
Thanks Michael! I’m surprised even in the middle of the city I hardly ever see anybody fishing this river.
This is my idea of heaven can't get much better. Very relaxing and a welcome change from corona virus! Thank you
Epic day of fishing... U slayed the smallies, awesome video
This guy is a fishing fool - in the very best sense of the expression. I watch his videos whenever they pop up. He always catches nice fish and I always learn something from him every time. This spring video is especially satisfying - 6 twenty inch smallmouth with a backdrop of early colored leaves - accompanied by trilling red-wings and honking geese. It really doesn’t get much better than this.
30 minutes of NDYakAngler? Hell yea! Just got a kayak this spring and have taken it out 9 times. Boy does it change the game on the locations and total area you can fish! It's a 10ft Ascend. Little small but its a sit on top and is very wide. Has ample space for tackle and I just attached 6 rod holders to my milk crate. Perfect for my needs. Fits in my car, all I have to do is bungee tailgate. Only thing I need for it now is a kayak wheel trailer, a better seat, and a fish finder! Killer video!
That’s awesome you got a kayak! It’s definitely a game changer. The more water I cover the more fish I catch. I hardly ever use the fish finder on mine other than for fall fishing when I need to find some deeper rocks and occasionally fishing weed lines for largemouth. I’ll have to check out your videos when I get done running around tonight!
I've put out a few from the yak so far this year. It won't stop raining in the Mid-Atlantic so the GoPro has been put away a lot. I had a really fun day in my yak on a reservoir an hour north of me 2 weeks ago but the fish catches were spread out over a large time so I didn't have the GoPro recording. I'll be getting the hero 5 shortly so I will be able to replace battery packs and film an entire day of fishing. Also just started a part time job at bass pro shops as fishing sales associate. Iv'e been buying new gear left and right! I leave for my annual upstate NY trip in a few weeks and will be fishing out of my yak and new GoPro, so it will be an awesome series of videos considering all I do up there is throw topwater. Thanks for the reply, if I ever find myself in ND or MN in coming years, I would LOVE to fish with you. I love your style and appreciation to high quality videos to capture the entire adventure in nature!
Nice, I really like the hero 5. The shake reduction is great for when it’s not mounted to something steady. The battery life is much longer than my previous versions too. I was getting both largemouth and smallmouth on topwater this past week in MN, had a blast watching them explode on the Whopper Plopper! If you’re ever in my area get a hold of me and we’ll catch some bass!
Love your videos, you are great at casting, pin point casting!
I do believe if you fished in my neck of the woods you’d take up knitting 🧶 in Comparison! Great Vid!
My wife asked what I was so engrossed in.
I told her "fish porn".
She gets it.
Love your video work!
It's always nice when I find a fellow angler who puts his spinning reel handle on the "right" side. 🌞
Lol I love fish porn
@Ben Tackett
I'm right handed. It's just the way I learned it.
Working the reel with my left hand just feels awkward and wrong.
Hey NDYakAngler new to the channel congratulations on some big fish! I just went through my creek and caught some monsters off beds too! I was going to ask what camera set up do you use on your kayak? Di you know the male smallmouth are actually the ones who guard the bed after eggs are laid? I just learned this a couple weeks ago
Insane man! Awesome video one again 👍🏻
In Ontario we are not allowed to fish for bass while they are still in their beds. Bass season actually opens the 3rd or 4th week of June. Not to say you can predict if they bite or not, but the ministry look to fine those fishing beds. Just curious about the rules in Minnesota. Keep the videos coming!
Good job. Your vids have been really enjoying them. Ordered myself a couple whopper ploppers from amazon after seeing what you were getting in return for using them.
Wow, what a great fishery.
I like how you work the fish in gradually and not just power stroke them in like ALL the others I follow
Thanks for having a clean ciao
Hay. One of my fav lures to use for bedding smallies is a mini hula popper in black or red. I change the main hook and add a stinger to the back. I know ua don't get many strikes on top eaters with smallies but when ya do its epic. I usually cast a little juicy jig behind it on the short strikers. But after this vid I may try the ol nico wacky rigged. Fish on and keep doing shat ya love.👌👍😊
Great content! Love it! What would you say a 20" smallie weigh? Thanks again for sharing!
The 20”s on this river are usually 4-4.5lbs.
@@ndyakangler Thanks for the response! Love the channel
That's amazing! Friend...you're fishing is blessed sir! I'm thinking the blindness in at least two fish is due to age? My understanding is that those biginz are between 15 and 20 years old. Too great! 😊
The Gospel of John when you're ready.🔥
You are making me late for church! Lol - STILL raining to beat the band out here. Water looks like coffee.
I was hoping to get this video up yesterday but it was too dang nice out to sit inside all day! I’m glad I went out though, had a pretty good evening catching some largemouth on the Whopper Plopper.
Nice smallies and great video buddy!
Nice video! Couple tips - those loaners on beds are males (you keep saying "She"). Also, dip your ruler in water first before measuring, as bass have a slime on their bodies that's part of their immune system and easily gets rubbed off.
Smallies will hit a cigarette butt and a hook if it's in their bed. The type of rig is less important as long as it's compact & stays on the bed. They WILL bite every single time. They're much easier to catch on beds than largies are. Sometimes you do have to back-office a bit on a finicky one, but they WILL all bite. They're not like largemouth.
I’m considering getting a kayak. I’d really like to see your set up and how exactly you Paddle while reeling in a fish.
It's good to see you hook trees too sometimes
how many feet is your kayak?
do you have any recommendations for someone who wants to start kayak fishing? ie accessories, brands, lengths, things to consider etc
What is a power pole, your rod or anchor or what? You caught enough fish to feed my whole neighborhood! Fantastic!
i really love your job so much.
Love your videos dude what part of the country are you from. What kind of camera are you using for video
Dang good job out there buddy, Straight nailing them.
That neko rig is a good bed fishing bait, I like using it in the summer time to.
Best video content ever PERIOD
Squirrel fishing for a min... done that !!! Lol
Yea he is legit. Very precise casting and strike detection. Skills. Would like to see him on my home lake Pickwick
How do you do it? I spent all day fishing and got zero fish, haha! I keep getting my TRD's snaged and their not cheap.
Hey man so I got a whopper plopper solely bc of you and I tried it and cant get a good retrieval. Was wondering what rig and line you use when fishing the whopper plopper. Ps I love your videos , not good with this youtube stuff but I watch every video you.oost when I find it!
What u a great tournament catch...100 + inches.......wow !!!!
Okay, it's time to hit the water. Bass and shad all starting to spawn way down here in West Texas. Looking for more of your videos this spring/summer.
It’s almost time here, the ice is finally starting to clear off the lakes.
Gooooooood night!!! Great day!
Great video, my man! I'll make 2 points as to why I love your videos. 1:Quality. You spend a lot of time catching fish, and being helpful in your explanations as to what you're using, and how to use it. 2: Quantity. You catch quite a few big fish, annnd-here's a plus-while you have a few commercials in your content, they don't run for a long time. The reason that I'm bringing this up is because of trying to watch a Weather video on another person's site. His video had so much commercialization, that it almost added up to the time period of his video content! I couldn't believe it! I'm not saying that it's his fault, but to have to put up with, I believe, 10-11 minutes worth of commercials to get something like 11 minutes worth of video just ain't worth it to me! Just as sure as Looney Tunes character Yosemite Sam used to say:"I hates Rabbits", I'm kind of like him, in the sense of:*I hates long commercials"!!! Short videos of 30 seconds or less is one thing. When you have to put up with 1-5 minute long commercials every 2-3 minutes...and the actual video is only 11 minutes long? Forget it!!! (Needless to say, I unsubscribed from his channel)!!! Anyway:Again- great video, and have fun again this year, a'pullin' in them bronze piggies!
Love these videos!
Do you de-barb your hooks? Always pulling them out with ease
Awesome video man
Nice fish! I typically use circle hooks to limit gut hooks have you had much trouble with such using your rig?
So far I’ve only used that Neko rig for fishing them off beds. I caught probably 100 fish on it, I’d say 90 of them were hooked right in the upper lip. Only one was anywhere close to swallowing it. Bed fishing they mostly just pick it up to get it off their bed instead of actually trying to eat it. Even fishing the wacky worm though I can only remember one in the last few years that partly swallowed the hook and I was able to go through the gills with my players and didn’t do much damage to the fish. I’m usually pretty quick with setting the hook too so I don’t give them much of a chance to swallow it.
Just sold my wife. Im moving to N.D. boys! 😆
