You're a class act no music no b.s just fishing well done
Ya, that's the best thing about this channel. And he did a fine job without that power pole anchor.
Great knowledge with no b.s👍👍
I love the birds chirping in the background. It gets you in that calm mood
@@keepontrucking7930 i I
thats exactly what i was about to say, im french and obviously dont watch so many english youtubers, and they all go with fancy music and montage, thats cool and some of those guys are reallt talented and make great video.. but this kind of vidéo are so pleasant, water and birds noises, and bob ross commentary is , i believe, the way it should be enjoyed !!! peace sorry for english tried my best
The Bob Ross of fishing
What a title to have !
😂😂
That was exactly what I thought the first time I saw one of his videos.
Just relaxing to watch and listen to.
Was about to say Mr Rodgers of fishing but this works too lol
He’s so peaceful it’s amazing to watch at night 😂
You’re the absolute best pure fisherman I’ve ever seen. Anytime anyone asks about a new you tube channel for them to watch, you’re channel is always mentioned. The scenery, the fish, the information, just everything on your channel man. Absolutely amazing content.
I fish for smallies back home for hours and can hardly figure them out.
NDYakAngler: "We're going to try out this Pterodactyl lure today."
*first cast catches a smallmouth bigger than all my PR's combined
HAHAHA
Love your vids man!
This is true for me also. Smallies in my area take patience and usually a finesse approach. The places this guy fishes are a different planet.
Fkn hilarious!! I totally agree 👍
I’ve learned watching your videos that bass and pike will eat pretty much anything thrown at them, from a worm to a duck to a chewy or pecachu, which has always amazed me.
Smallies are like toddlers: everything goes straight in the mouth to see if it's edible LOL.
Lol accurate
🤣
Pike r the same way
😂😂😂 thats the best description I have ever heard
Same with bluegills. I've seen them bite bobbers and splitshots
You have to have some of the best casting accuracy I've ever seen. Insane
I was thinking the same thing
I was going to post that thought as well. Dude is a freaking surgeon with a lure! I would be blowing up so many spots getting my lures out of trees.
Agreed. He hits spots that I would not even attempt. And he is doing it from a kayak. Unbelievable skill.
The smallmouth rivers you fish are so cool! I'm jealous. I think if I lived there I would become a smallmouth junkie and my family would have to stage an intervention to get me off the water.
Backroads, I have been to Minnesota a few years back for a two week vacation & man it's like this all over there. Awesome fishing everywhere. Matt grew up there so he knows his shit for sure. Lucky as hell to know all these great spots he goes to.
paul levine any river stretches you can recommend? I’m from Mn and been itching to catch some smallies
@@wstn7938 Hey, When i went i was with friends one whose parents owned a small cabin in Itasca County. From there we fished where they knew & we had gotten a map of all the rivers & lakes in the area. All were as nice as where Matt here goes & all were easy to reach. No names i can say as it was a few years ago but i still have that map. Most of the lakes were around 40 acres & as i said all are free to fish as long as you ave the means to get out on the water & your licence. . All the ones we went to were not far apart either. I know you want names but i would & can find my map if you want & get the names of the ones & they were many we went to that had Smallies , Pike , Musky's Walleye, Crappies , Bluegills Large mouth bass , & even Rock Bass . I would if your living anywhere near Itasca County get you boat ,Kayak or there are places to rent small boats & pick any as they all are great fisheries. Matt is lucky to have grown up there as well so he has learned all the spots you see in his clips. I know you want names but i can't recall all of them without my map. You can't go wrong in Minnesota it's possibly just one the best fisheries in the States. If i can find my map i will get back to you with some names but a map of that area will give you what you need. I'm from Maryland & i will be honest i had fish withdrawals when i came back it was so good there. . Minnesota is one awesome place once you get out of the city. Hope this will at least give you some help. Matt usually doesn't seem to answer questions or you could ask him but he has so much going on i don't think he has time to answer questions as i don't see many on his clips. I would say good luck but out there you won't need much to catch some quality Smallies or any of these fish .
@@paullevine1813 very cool! I grew up in Hagerstown born and raised on smallmouth on the Potomac. I'm fortunate to have lived in Grand Forks, ND for 10 years and had Minnesota right next door. I sure do miss the fishing up there
Thanks so much Paul. Yah I have a fishing kayak so it would be awesome to go chase some smallies on the river. That would be great if you can find you map. Thanks again for any help and yes Minnesota is great for all around fishing.
The best fishing footage on RUclips!
I agree 100%
Plain facts 🎣 🔥
I personally like Jon b but this guy is great too 😁
@@isaacturner3510 same, Jon B. is definitely my favorite to watch
Nah... I think cetchem all fishing is better
I cannot believe how good/confident a caster you are. Just an absolute machine throwing trebelled lures way under trees and near cover.
Man, I love that stretch of river. When you see Matt by that power tower you know smallies will be had. Fish on , you crazy diamond!
Ive fished this stretch once, the current is scary
Derek Gray where is it?
I hope you're a Les Claypool fan, leaving that comment.
Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd, ding, ding,ding!
I LOVE HOW YOU EDIT YOUR SOUND! ITS SO SOOTHING‼️‼️
I love your videos and remain impressed with the quality of your casts. Pinpoint precision.
Dude you aren't kidding. The accuracy is outstanding.
Nickhead87 you’d be suprised. I can whip a bait under a tree just as well but i do like my curados for precision casting as well.
@@mynameisnotcory for me it depends on what I am throwing. Casting is more accurate for me once things get heavy, but I prefer spinning gear for simplicity. I'd rather fish than fool with gear.
Whether I'm watching people catch them, or catching them myself, smallmouth bass always crack me up LOL! They're just so aggressive, and go absolutely berserk once they're hooked. I love catching smallies! Thanks for posting, Matt!
Man, you can throw anything and those hogs are gonna bite up there.
Yeah he's got a gold mine
Probably not too pressured out there.
Willy Snakes where i live the small mouth are a bit picky but rockbass will hit almost anything
@Hfhgg Hgjjv lmao try out germany in summer, no big ones at all
I need to fish those waters smh
This. These are the perfect fishing videos. Matt, you now take the top spot for my favourite fishing channel. Thank you.
Thanks Spence!
Their fishing videos are incredible, this place is very good with beautiful fish, congratulations on your fishing equipment is the best.
Hug!!!👍🎣
What a great example this man sets. Not just successful techniques clearly shown, but an approach to fishing and fish that many of us can learn from. I know I have.
I bought a couple of savage gear snakes after watching your videos, been using them the last year all over the Midwest. Caught me some 5+ pounders in the Ozarks. Awesome lures.
I am so envious of this river you fish. Smallmouth are my passion. You have fantastic content and you are an excellent fisherman. Also admire how you treat the fish and such a good steward of our sport. Awesome videos.
The nice thing about finding a channel you like when it's been going a while is the large back catalogue to wade through. I having fun watching now that health issues stop any hope that I had of going fishing again. Thank you for your channel.
Your content is amazing, every video is so peaceful and relaxing. Keep it up!!
Unbelievable footage👍👍 makes me want to fish every single minute, love the Bass and Pike lures, I learn alot on what these fish have an appetite for! Keep up the great work 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have the same lure but in brown, used it and wound up catching several gar! For some reason they loved it. It has amazing action!
Yep. I got the black one. Bass slam it at night....👍
The blowups on that lure are insane. Always a great night when you drop a video and your casting is so on point
This is by far the best fishing channel I have found. Perfect filming and you show the fish very nicely. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!!
I'm an old city slicker drummer from Detroit and I don't fish.
But I cant stop watching your vids.
They are AMAZING.
I now live in Georgia and own a nice kayak. You've inspired me sir.
New Sub🤘
I watch a lot of fishing videos but your camera work is the best we get to see it at your perspective great work
I truly enjoy your channel, I dont get out as much anymore to fish. You are lucky to have access to such beautiful waterways! Look forward to the next!!
These videos bring so much joy and tips for fellow anglers
Your casting skills, so impressive, especially with such a large lure. Very fun video.
What kind of idiots would give a thumbs down to videos like this, probably someone that can’t fish as good and likes goofy music and would rather listen to some wiener trying to sell their products with fake smiles like on those fishing shows. This guy is down to earth and “real” about fishing. He doesn’t edit his videos when he gets tangled or snagged or cutting his finger on a pikes tooth, this is reality, not fake and it happens to every angler. Another thing I alike about his videos is that he’s quite and peaceful instead of jumping up and down in fake excitement like other videos saying “did you see that, did you see that ???”. Great videos and I’ll always give a thumbs up.
Great fishing videos, really enjoy watching all the footage you post. Great camera work and comentary! Just awesome
Another good vid Matt. I sometimes use the larger Savage Snake fishing for Murray Cod. They are not a bad lure, certainly have a great action. Bill.
I really like your videos, your doing a fantastic job giving information and providing such a realistic perspective from your kayak. I grew up watching fishing shows in the 80s and 90s my fav was the In Fisherman you are as good as if not better to watch .
Should have half a million subs by now for how good the content is.. love this channel
Just love to setting, pleasant weather and being alone doing a great sport
dang you killed it with that snake! saw it a few times though it was too big but the fishes sure said it was perfect!!!
Congrats on 100k so happy for you congrats again🥳
Another excellent video - thanks for sharing. Down south where I am (TN), that snake could easily mimic some of the lizards we have as well.
My favorite fishing trip was when i was fishing at lake tansi down there in crossville tn and i was fishing on my kayak and said you know what lets go deep water fishing in my head. Which at the time the water was 50 somethin feet where i was fishing and as soon as my rig hit the bottom i got hooked on. So i was out there going back in forth being towed by a 16 pound catfish for about 40 minutes which one reason it took so long is that i let it tow me around for a while. Also great channel love how theres no ear ringing music in the background
Only the second video of yours that I have watched the duck vs pike got me hooked got a new sub
Well that's just great - another lure I just gotta have - LOL
You're not alone there 🙂
Amazing videos you do. One of my fave on the tube. What a wonderful river you fish on. Keep the show going!
Has the best cast of any youtuber I've seen ole boy is launching those lures
Dude, I love your videos! Easily my favorite fishing channel.
Dude that's awesome 🤙 sick video. That creek is beautiful and the Smalley's an them pike were gorgeous. Hell yeah 😎👍
This gets me so pumped up for summer smallies!
Part of me feels only those of us up north can really appreciate a 5lb 8oz largemouth bass. The growing season is shorter and in my state at least, fishing pressure is heavy, no matter how remote you can go. That makes catching a lunker either pure luck or figuring out what no one else throws. My PB last year was 5lb 5.4oz. My PB of all time for largemouth was 8lb 6oz, that was about 23 years ago...
Algorithm needs to hit these videos. Quality content no bs. Appreciate the uploads.
Awesome video, really nice smallies. I love the river systems and the scenery down there, I wish that I could live there, I would be fishing all the time like you. I really like your videos, best fishing videos on RUclips. Cheers
Got the Savage Snake (firetiger green) late last fall. Can't wait for spring fishing in Buffalo, NY.
I am 70 now, fished most of my life, what amazes me, besides how good you fish, is that there is never other fishermen or women around, !!
I go to a lot of spots without boat ramps where dragging a kayak in is about the only way to access the water. Most people don’t want to put in the extra work when there’s a dozen easy launches on other lakes within ten miles. The fishing is always better at the quiet spots though!
That Chewbacca video was my introduction to you! "Hold on Chewy!" lol awesome
Bro.....either you are the best small mouth fisherman over ever seen......or somehow the luckiest.......but I think luck has nothing to do with it.....keep up the videos......loving it
I just found this channel and love it! I dream of slow backwaters like this. nice job!
Nice Job!! You sure know where to find the fish.Thanks for taking me along.
Nice Day, nice river, with lots fish infested all over the water........especially birds singing everywhere. This place is a paradise! Great video Sir.
man I so love your video's such amazing river's you fish and such awsome smallies! I hope to get up that way one day and do some smallie fishing! keep the great video's coming!
The Hits on the snake are vicious!
You better kill a snake in one bite 😂
Great video, thanks for sharing your rod setup too.
That is some clear water! Great video! So relaxing to watch.
You fish like I like to fish. You Work on building skill from prior experience. I’m just not the guy chasing my tail for the latest upgrade in electronics. Some guy’s come on my home lake with an easy $20k in electrics. More than I paid for my pontoon boat. I see some guy’s kayak fishing with $15,000 tide up in a Kayak. That’s not fishing, that’s showing off. You got maybe $5,000 tide up in your Kayak including the trailer, and your killing it. I’m so impressed with your casting ability. The best I have ever see. And your having a blast to boot. My hats off to you.I
Could never decide which is more fun to catch but for eating I'll take pike all day. Definitely the best fishing videos on youtube! 😁🌿🎣
great video! i love me some river smallie aciton, even though in Texas they are rare on the rivers. i still manage to find some and boy are they a treat!
Great first person fishing videos. We get all the action just like were there. And super impressed with your casting accuracy. I hope to fish enough to be that good some day.
Love all your video's showing how the fish attack your new bait's. Keep doing it for us. It will work on all my river's
I also really enjoy the fact that you don’t have stupid music anywhere in your videos. And you are to be commended for releasing the fish quickly.
I’m going to have to get me a snake lure!
So happy to know I'm not the only one who gets so tangled up on the kayak I have to cut and re-tie everything!
Great vid. Awesome catch for middle of hot summer. This snake is little too rough on the fish I think. Power pole - best thing since sliced bread. I have one too. 👍
Hi, I love your Chanel. The area where I live has more largemouths than smallmouths, but both are fun to fish & fight with. Keep up a good work! Kris
Brother you're making me want to take a trip up there and fish with you! It's killing me! 👍🏻😎🎣love your video's ...
What a way to enjoy my morning coffee! Just returned home from overseas and gotta get on the water.
I have a ca 1980s Doug Hannon snake kit that I’m itchin to throw as soon as I can get my yak rigged.....and buy my license.
I took our double seated kayak on pine lake in mid MN this past week, the water was flawless , caught a small mouth with my mouse lure and a small catfish with a night crawler. Had fun with the kids and wife.
Your video made me laugh because while mowing this past week, I witnessed a Gardner snake cross my path evading the chop of the blades.
Anyway keep up the good work,
Stay safe!
Dude, you are a smallie sniper! The Castin Assasin! I'm guessing there are a few errant casts that don't make the video, but one that did still makes me laugh when in the BWCA video you hit that rock and it fell into a 3lb smallie's mouth! The way you get those lures up between the tree branches is very impressive! Makes me want to try a bait casting reel. Keep up the good work!
wow... those were some nice fish. Nice blowups too. really nice river spot you have there. Nice net job on that one with the power pole issue. Fish on!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. You got the voice down pat for mr rogers
I am VERY impressed with your casting skills !! Greetings from Thailand !
I spooked a snake off the dam of our private pond one time and watched a bass nail him a few seconds later. It was about a 2 foot water snake.
Yeah dude. I once saw a video of a bass caught on a lure, but with a snake in his throat.
That’s unfortunate
That first cast was DEAD ON! If it were me that would have been square in the tree. Nice work!
Love your videos. You have a very calming voice. Well done sir.
I love your videos. Makes me want to go out even more. Caught a nice 3lb smallie on the Dupage River on 7/20.
Gotta love catching bronze backs. I know you’re in a kayak, but get that rod tip DOWN to keep them from coming up & out and spitting your lure. Awesome videos you post my friend.
I don’t even fish and I’m enjoying these videos! I’m going to have to give it a try.
You cast so damn well, I wish I had that precision on my Yak.
always enjoyed brother, you're one of the best channels on youtube keep em comin
always a dream ! thank's a lot Mat !
The aim on these casts are impeccable
Great Channel, great vids always. Mr. Rogers of Kayak Fishing.
Im really impressed with your snake lure. Im a fly fisher & I'm going to tie a few snake flies..I'll send you a photo of my creation..
Man that was incredible!!! They were smoking that snake 👌. I really enjoyed it 😊🎣👍👏👏👏
My favorite kind of notification, love the videos!
The mark of a good smallmouth lure is when the front treble is the one they consistently get hooked by. I usually cut the back treble off when that happens. Better action with the lure, and you'd never believe it without seeing it, but you almost never miss them.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who gets his rods tangled up while fishing on my kayak. I just catch my other rod while casting.lol Nice Video.
When I saw the snake, I new you were gonna have some fun.
Best channel on RUclips truly awesome
I love the snake! I've had them hit slow, fast and dead stick. Great video man!
Great description!
0:35 I like how confident he was that he would catch one
That net catch at 9:15 was insane
