I rarely comment on a RUclips video. But since you took the opportunity to express some real appreciation for our collective support, I will offer my appreciation for your channel. My 2 young boys and I love to fish. I have been fishing since I was 5. I even got a degree in fisheries biology. I guided in Alaska for 4 years. I fish 1-2 days a week. How you approach fishing and how you teach all of us to be better at fishing is your special gift. Your channel and the areas you fish inspired me to book a trip to your neck of the woods this summer. My oldest son, constantly asks me if we are going to catch smallmouth like the NDYAK guy. Keep on fishing, sharing quality content, an occasional laugh, and your success will only grow.
"How you approach fishing" hits it right on the head. All about the least amount of time in the water, appreciate the beauty of the fish, calm and enjoying the gorgeous days on the water.
I was going to write a similar comment, but yours hit the mark so dead-on, there's no need. Having spent a good deal of time myself in Alaska, & having also fished (with an incredible guide) the BWCA, I feel your comment carries significant credibility. And, most importantly, let's keep this channel going strong, & support a real Zen Master of catching freshwater fish!
@@cc.8859 It seems there's always someone who has to break others down in order to feel like they are up. It sucks and the internet brings them out in droves.
Love the return, you certainly are not a "one trick pony" when it comes to fishing. On those slower days, still post! Toss some tips in, give some recommendations that newer anglers and even experienced anglers can pull from too. You set the highest expectations per video because of how great of a fisherman you are, everyone has those lesser bite days and its better than a day sat inside. We all support you big time Matt!
it's not an opinion it's fact! Soo many health benefits come from fishing. Exercise, Stress Relief, Mental strength the list goes on..I LOVE IT SO DANG MUCH!
NDYakAngler, you are the sole reason I began throwing the whopper plopper for smallies here in Oregon, and now I always have one tied on. I check your channel for new videos all the time. Thanks for taking the time to share about your life's changes. Change is hard, but often for the better. I hope everything works out for you man. I know that girl's kids are probably doing what kids their age do when a new father figure shows up: rebel. But that patience you display on the water will help you in that regard as well. Be patient and be there for them when they need you, and they'll eventually realize that it is you that they can rely on. Then, they'll figure out it is you they can trust, as well. This comes from a man that's been through it. Good luck my man
Watching your fishing channel inspires me to keep fishing and keep a good spirt while doing so! Thanks for putting in time for us fishing addicts! Congrats on the baby girl! I have a 1 1/2 year old and she keeps a smile on my face when I skunk out
"if I give it my all this could be my best year yet" Definitely my guy, carry that attitude with you and you'll have your best year, every year. Keep it up ✌️🎣
Congratulations on your new living situation. I’ve always loved to fish so I really enjoy your videos. I watch one every night right before I go to sleep. I find them very relaxing. You do a great job making them. Thanks and keep ‘em coming.
So happy to see you back! 😃👍😎 Missed you n ur videos! You sound more relaxed today and that makes me happy. 🙂 Awesome catch! Hope dinner was delicious! 😋 Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I absolutely look forward to "coming along" with you each and every time. Many blessings my friend. 💞 🐟 🎣
Congratulations, Matt, on your expected baby this June! That is exciting. Hey, man, thanks for appreciating your subscribers. You deserve the views and the opportunity to make a living off of the fantastic content you present us. I have been following you for a long time and witnessed your growth. Just stay the path and keep delivering and you will continue to be blessed with viewers and an exciting life.
Man, it's great to see you back at it. Man, those kids are going to be a blessing to you. Just be the best dad you can be and soon you will have some awesome new fishing buddies. And btw, fishing in winter is a struggle for all of us. I will continue to be entertained and inspired by your videos as long as you want to put them out. God bless you and your new family brother.
Nice to see you again, stay at it! Married when I was 31,for first time,she had 3 girls 2 to 7,quite an adjustment! Worth it! Love your frog fishing,viedos! God is good!
Glad to see you on the water again hope to see your new family on the water with you sometime if you don’t catch a fish it’s still a good day with them
Fishing is what helps me with life stuff I know that. And when I cant fish watching you be the Michael Jordan of kayak smallmouth fishing helps too, thank you.
Glad to see you back out fishing again ! You (and also @RealisticFishing) have been a big inspiration for me to try and film some of my outings. The girlfriend got me a GoPro for Christmas, and I've got about 3 or 4 good trips of footage saved up, just need to find the time to edit them now ! Thanks for another great video !
Good to see you out on the water. Life is change from beginning to end and can get overwhelming............take the days one at a time. Thanks for taking us out on the water today.
Thanks again for the camping intel, Matt! Really helped me get a game plan going. Glad to see a new video as well. I know you hold yourself to a high standard for these vids.
Great to see your renewed Matt. Life has so many ups and downs. To realize your blessings helps us to deal with those down days. I too am a father to a son and a Dad to two other boys I’ve been with since they were 5, now 19 and serving in the US Army at Fort Bragg, NC. Take that 12 year old out fishing. Let him fall in love with the sport on his own and his respect for you will grow as you impact his life for the better. Soon you will see yourself in him at that age and your gf will see the changes in him for the better. God Bless all of you Matt on this journey. I look forward to your greatest year on the water and the new adventures you bring to us subs.
Your the reason I bought my first fishing kayak ever. Your videos are the best. Fishing from a kayak is a totally different experience. I love it!!! Thank you for what you do. You do it well
Really glad to see you back on the water doing what we all love to (just doing it better than us) and above all else, finding the balance... biggest trophy in the pond.
I did chuckle when you were describing you home situation. Not laughing at you, laughing with you. I too have a household and know the lack of peace. To be thrust into that has to be something else. Keep falling forward.
Congratulations DAD!!!! I love your videos and look forward to your posts. My sons and I watch and learn how to fish. Keep up the good work and God bless!!!!
Thank you Matt! You continue to be my favorite RUclips channel. Congrats on having a baby too! Don't stress! You'll still treat us to the best content out there, we are all confident in that, you have the passion.
I've been fishing 4 times this year and caught 1 bluegill. We all face the grind. The important thing is don't give up. I think you are a truly gifted fisherman and a lot of people, including me, love your videos. Hang in there man, you've got a lot of people on your side.
Thanks for the great content. Your style of fishing is how I imagine fishing when I’m day dreaming about being out there. From the areas you fish to your calming demeanor, I look forward to every new video. Thanks and good luck with everything!
Haven’t fished since I was probably 15, recently been watching so many of your videos. Got me itching to get on some water. Got a rod and my license. Caught a little pike off a jig bait the other day first fish in about 12 years. Thanks for that! Great videos and keep on keepin on!
Good to see ya back! Pretty good move -life. When my gf(now wife) and I first moved in together she asked my what I was snacking on at night? Had to tell her, “nothing really...just amazed that the fridge is always full.” I’m a minimalist in more ways than one.
Great to see you back on the water and hear the wonderful news about your new family. Don't be stressed, it all works out. What a blessing to have a baby on the way and spend time with a 10 and 12 year-old. As always, thanks for bringing us along and sharing your story.
Got my own Tarpon 120 cause of you and have been catching tons of fish off it. Love the channel as always and don't want you to stop making content. Keep it up!
By far one of my favorite RUclips channels. Thanks for the content. I hope you continue to enjoy providing your fishing adventures. Must importantly I hope you continue to enjoy this amazing nature the Lord has give us. Stay blessed!
Glad to see you back, Matt! Love your channel and all your videos. Your content is incredible and you have no reason to doubt that. So much love and support to you and the new family. They have a great role model. Tight lines friend.
Love watching your videos. I put one on in the morning and it always inspires me to go fishing within a few minutes of watching. Thanks for being the catalyst to most of my fishing days lol.
Awesome video! Love it when RUclipsrs express their appreciation to their fans and explain why it helped them. It shows that they are dedicated to their fans and to RUclips as well. Keep up the great work!
WELCOME BACK, MATT! It's wonderful to see you on the water again. It's even more wonderful to hear the renewed joy in your voice as you once again do what makes you most happy and at peace. Best, Chris

This is exactly the positivity he needs
He has been on the grind for nine years he deserves so much more love yall
💯
Same here. I'm just wondering who put a down vote.
I know it’s sad
Couldn’t agree more.
@@cc.8859 It seems there's always someone who has to break others down in order to feel like they are up. It sucks and the internet brings them out in droves.
This guy is the most wholesome fisherman I have seen. He always finds a way to catch the big ones.
could not say it any better !
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I m 44 now and I have some stress time here too. Wish you all the best
Heck I’d still watch if he was catching minnows lol
Glad to see you Matt. It takes a special man to be a step dad.
When Matt's on the water, we're all on the water. Thanks for taking us along!
That’s a true statement.
That is the truth.

Seriously I’d be happy watching him catch minnows! The man is the Bob Ross of fishing👍 and hello from Harrington
As far as tips go, I am very curious about that bobber setup for pan fish. If anyone could explain that I would really appreciate it.
Fishing is one of the healthiest ways to deal with stress in my opinion.
Agreed
Yup
unless you get a backlash lol
it's not an opinion it's fact! Soo many health benefits come from fishing. Exercise, Stress Relief, Mental strength the list goes on..I LOVE IT SO DANG MUCH!
Agree

The Fishing Bob Ross has returned!
THIS
Just a regular dude, in a regular kayak, no ads, no clickbait. Much love and success to you @NDYakAngler, best channel.
....and no screaming and yelling like little school girls.
He has a nice ass kayak definitely not regular but point taken lol
andrew grahm his yak isn’t anything super crazy. The base kayak is only like $1000. Nothing like a hobie or Jackson
He never begs for subscribes either he's one of the best fishermen on youtube I've learned alot of stuff from watching his channel
This is the best comment
You be a great DAD. Every day with those kids is a blessing. Got a couple of mine owned.
Glad to see you back. Because of you, I started fishing, went out on a lake and caught my first fish, a pike.
Visiting this channel is the perfect antidote to all the B.S. that is going on in the world these days! Thank-you so much!!
Watching your fishing channel inspires me to keep fishing and keep a good spirt while doing so! Thanks for putting in time for us fishing addicts! Congrats on the baby girl! I have a 1 1/2 year old and she keeps a smile on my face when I skunk out
This is hands down the best kayak fishing RUclips channel
He's back baby! "Use my Jedi forces to summon my kayak" LOL! Keep you head up mate!
Good to see you again man! Praying for your journey as a dad!
With you all the way. Upload whenever you want I’ll be there to watch.
Glad to see you out on the water again, hope everything goes well with your family especially the little one on the way

This channel is one the ones you hit the like button before even watching 🤘💪
Like. Watch. Wish you could like again.
Congrats on the new baby coming!!! Love catching some slabs!
The first fish is actually a spotted bass which I think is cool considering they’re a lot more rare in the north.
Thanks again for the camping intel, Matt! Really helped me get a game plan going. Glad to see a new video as well. I know you hold yourself to a high standard for these vids.
