I always love the 10 seconds before the voice intro - just quiet paddling and the sounds of nature. Then, “Howdy everyone”
Yep the bass eats everything 🐟on, thanks for great videos
I'M BACK AT IT AGAIN
Always beautiful, always quiet. Well, there’s that one pike spot on the interstate, but the fish there make it worth the road noise.
Yep. The first 10 seconds of most of his intro's are therapy for me just because of that. Let alone the rest of the video(s).
that is the best trademark start to Matt's videos... i agree with you on that one 😎👍
No annoying sponsorships no trying to get us to buy his products. Just a great man making wholesome videos truly the best fishing RUclips channel.
Definitely my favorite RUclips fishing channel! No stupid music either. Like you are out with him.
agreed, plus no darn fishing challenges either
Very little a guy could complain about on this fishing day. Outstanding looking fish. Thanks for sharing.
My only complaint is I forgot my frozen water bottles at home and didn’t realize until I got to the launch, so I had to delay my start about an hour driving to the nearest town!
You are very lucky to have such great places to fish. Beautiful scenery, crystal clear water and big musky, pike, smallies and largies!
And no annoying wake boats, jet skis, and obnoxious drunks.
The answer to Any question starting with “do bass eat…” will Always be yes. But it’s still a treat to watch you sir my gf and I get excited to see what you fish with and for every video :) love from Illinois
It's a prelude to crazy lure development
@@thims1961 I used to make lures out of my Creepy Crawlers kit when I was a kid. Good times. They just didn't have durability, and (as an adult now) I pray that they weren't toxic for the bodies of water that I used them in, lol.
This guy can literally catch a fish with a Lego man lol. He’s the Bob Ross of fishing 🎣💯
Your videos have really opened my eyes to the advantages of a paddled Kayak. You fish water that a trolling motor could never enter. You catch unmolested fish in those areas.
I have an Ascend 133X that I've decked TF out. I have gotten that thing into many places that boat owners can only dream of; from bodies of water with nowhere to launch, to canals that require my winch to launch and get it back up, to mountain lakes that no boat could ever get into. But when I took a trip and used my friends smaller yak with nothing but a paddle, it was life changing. I could easily get that thing into places that I could only dream about getting my 133X into, or places that would at least take a ton of effort to get my 133X into. And like you said, the fishing pressure was basically non-existent in many of those areas that I got into with the smaller yak. Awesome comment and realization, Doug.
Agree
My brother in Christ you're supposed to catch the fish not commit a crime against nature. 😭
@jauneashman8953 🤣 🤣 I was waiting for someone to say something. He technically used the word correctly but still lol.
@@jauneashman8953 @samhanson5194 😆🤣
"One more cast"...
"err... one more cast..."
"ok now... one more cast"...
...
"...."
"one more cast"
Lol, 100% how I am fishing. Love it!
One more cast in fishing terms means another hour or so lol
I also struggle with this.
Love these on a beautiful Saturday morning. Best videos on the tube
Agreed! Best fishing videos, by FAR!
I just bought my first whopper ploppers this spring because of your videos... and I LOVE them. Going to inlaws small cottage on a small lake in central Ontario, with BIG largemouth and good smallies too. Don't think I've missed a Saturday morning video in a while. So peaceful!!
@smallmouthbass...I also bought them because of his videos. I have caught some of my PB smallies on a whopper plopper!
The fish almost jumping back in the boat and your long pause after had me gasping for air haha
😂 I usually try to watch the fish swim away for a few seconds, that way it’s easier to transition into the next clip without me and the camera looking all over to put the net away and what not lol
@@ndyakangler Lol yeah thats totally valid. Loving the vids and looking forward to the next upload! 😊
The little chuckles after you've snagged another one.....owning the water breathers as always. You are the epitome of fishing videos.
Your still my favorite fisherman on you tube, 2 years of great videos, thank you!
I still find it almost impossible that you are out there catching fish but haven't spent 10k on a pedal kayak with 15 different sonar screens and 10 spare rods...
Keep it coming man! Love the videos!
I’d like to bring my Hobie out there to stand up fish a little easier but it’s a long hill to cart back up at the end of the day and I barely make it with my Tarpon packed light.
Hello, I’ve been fishing my whole life in a bass boat and just started kayaking. What model Bending Bridges paddle do you use? Love the content
I bought a kayak and now I’m anxious to give it a try. It should be here on Sep 11. My plan is to make this a hobby with my 11 year old son. He likes to watch your videos with me. Whenever I run your videos and you say “Hi everyone, it’s a beautiful day for some kayak fishing” my son runs downstairs to watch it with me. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Please ALWAYS wear life vests
@@fabianf.7089I’ll do that. Thanks for the heads up!
Texas rig Texas rig texas rig and it’s always fun to try to learn knots and not get too comfortable with just one I like to think half the fun of fishing is re tying and getting quick with it enjoy it all brother!
There is nobody who does fishing videos better. Always look forward to watching.
This is my absolute favorite fishing channel by far. I watch quite a few of them with this being my favorite.
Those ones you sight fish, and your commitment and patience and getting them to bite. Absolutely awesome Matt.
I love the sound of paddling a canoe through smooth glass-like water. It's a relaxing sound that takes away alot of stress. You had a nice day fishing. Plenty of lunkers.
Casts with precision!!
He’s truly a artist at fishing and he can catch a fish on just about anything he throws in the water 💯
Thanks for another great fishing video. Always look forward to them!
Lunkerhunt has Great top water lures I can’t recommend their frogs enough they cast So well and look as close as you can get to a real frog super fun too. Sometimes when fish don’t want it I cast in front of the biggest actual frog I can find and I swear to God when the lure touches them it’s like the start of a wrestling match😂bullfrogs are ferocious
Just came back from an early morning fishing trip to this. Makes my morning way better
Same.
How was your trip??
Man, you make topwater fishing look a lot easier than it is. I always enjoy your videos.
Football season started this weekend with this video! Some nice fish caught there bud. I always look forward to your next fishing adventure. Tight lines!!
I always enjoy your videos. Most of my fishing is from the shore, but I've had days like that -- lots of bass, fair-sized and fiesty! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for the most enjoyable fishing I have ever seen. I am from Nevada and we don't have fishing like what you have. Your really blessed!!
I’ve made a few trips to this lake now and every time it’s been absolutely amazing topwater fishing! It’s a little farther drive but definitely one of my favorite spots!
Yer videos r so right on! I’ve got a Pelican 120 n absolutely Love It!! Being this close to nature is amazing! Where I fish there r bald eagles, trumpeter swans, tons of loons, n even a couple pairs of Osprey! Catching fish is just the bonus. Who needs trolling motors, peddles or boats, great video, keep em coming! 😉👍🎣
Great day on the lake, Matt, you really smoked those largies with that roach, very, very exciting! Take care and be safe!
Happy to see your fishing spots aren't over run with everyone and their brother. That's what happened to my fishing spots this season.
Brilliant day of fishing. Thanks for taking me along.
After watch your channel for years, I am convinced Bass will eat almost anything! Lol I recommended your channel to my son-in-law who fishes with a kayak in Southern Indiana.
I love the land of 10,000 lakes because of the scenery and great fishing! Love these videos
My goodness, what a most enjoyable fishing session! 11 bass all of them quite decent sized. The scenery is so beautiful with plenty of hiding places for the fish ambushing their prey. Real bliss for topwater fishing near the algae or a patch of water inside. Great those bites at times 3:50, 11:00 and 18:20.
Those are some good looking bass. Very healthy fishery.
Brother you have to be the coolest freaking angler I’ve ever watched. Thank you.
44 years ago I began fishing again as an adult. It was on a 50 acre private lake in CT. Fish and strikes like the ones you were getting in this video are why I got into bass fishing at that time. What a summer I had that first year. I have never found another place that matched that lake. I went back to it about 8 years later and had the best day of bass fishing I've ever had. I sure wish I could find another place like that near where I live now. Today, 8 - 10 fish would be an epic day number wise, and then, most of the time, they'd all be under a pound. Currently, I am limited to bank fishing, so that doesn't help, and most of the ponds around me are privately owned. I understand that developers have come in and bought up all the land around the best fishing ponds and built private subdivisions around them. Now you have to live there to fish them. Ya gotta love where I live in NC. They're killing me! Thank God for ultra lite. At least I can have a great time on occasion pan fishing, although even that is slow right now. I am Sooo looking forward to the Fall. The heat this summer and last has made for the worst summer seasoal fishing for me in the past several years. Thank you very much for sharing and reminding me of why I used to enjoy bass fishing so much. I hope to get my chance once again soon. Your trips continue to give me hope and I thoroughly enjoy your success on every trip you share! Blessings!
My phone knows when I’m tired. When I open RUclips at night you come up before I type anything. So relaxing 🙏
I'd say you got your money's worth with those two lures, given all the chunky bass you landed. This was one of those days that combined the perfect conditions, location, lure, technique, and timing. Very special.
I do love Saturday mornings, Matt posts his new video ... However i do have to practice self control and will save this video for my Lunch break at work. Not an easy thing to do😳. Nothing better than a Saturday morning with a good cup of coffee watching Matt hammer some smallies.. Man do i miss the Midwest where i grew up. Spent a lot of time down in Tennessee as well as a young lad fishing with cousins. I live in the desert now... Las Vegas to be particular. Not the ideal location for fishing..at least not the kind I'm Accustomed to... Thanks for what you do Matt! You're videoms never disappoint.
I try to never miss a Saturday fishing trip.
I love your raw fishing vids, no music no bs.
Wish i could be as chill as you
You are extremely talented
The cast accuracy is insane and they paid you with those bites.
I know it’s edited but 21 mins of almost none stop top water blowups is amazing. I would pay to fish those places. 💯
There were at least 7-8 fish I left out of the video too. I also decided I couldn’t leave yet after shooting the outro for this video and finished the day off with a half dozen more fishing a Spro rat along the deep weed edges!
@@ndyakanglercan you adopt me and take me with 🙏 abit on the older side to adopt but we’ll make it work lol
Matt it's another great video and trip on the lake. My favorite bites were the last 3 ending with the sunny side up jumper off the point. I'm always scanning when on the water and to watch you collect intwl and catch those fish makes me smile. From the bank its a little harder using the casting rod with suburbanites not liking you to clear the bank runway but still fun. You drop a cast on target, flip the line twist off the rod and weeds from your paddle on auto pilot. Yeah you've done it once or twice...we know but also know we appreciate it. Blessings brother
Thank you! I’ve been to this lake a few times now, still have a couple vids to post from there, and every trip there’s been several awesome catches! The first two and the one later I chased down the splash on were my favorites from this trip!
Happy for you. Great morning of bass fishing. Thanks.
That lure did pretty well! Most of the time, as soon as it hit the water the bass would hammer 🔨 it! Another great video, thanks for taking me along.
Lunkerhunt spider & roach on a 7' med/heavy spinning combo w/30 lb. Braid...great little combo for those lighter hollow body.. baits...also, the original scum frog & small 1/4 oz frogs work great on this combo as well...there are times, they just won't commit to the full size frog type baits
Wow, plenty of action in this video. Looked like a perfect day for it too!!
Man! You crushed on some big size largemouth in this video ! Looks like an awesome time!
Great work man!!
Appreciate you sharing your trips! Makes my day! 😍
Congratulation man, your videos are simply amazing and relaxing at the same time! Support you from Italy ✌🏻
Wow, so much weed! It looked like you were fishing a lawn there at times. Great video, many thanks.
Another awesome video as usual. As much as I enjoy watching you catch smallmouth, it’s nice seeing a lot of quality largemouth being caught.
It's like watching a scary movie, you know something is there and you're waiting for something to happen holding your breath!
Great video, those Bass were hungry for roach! It’s been many years since I have fished, but your channel and The FIsh Locker (based near where I live in Cornwall UK) are easily the most skilled, entertaining and educational videos, plus amazingly relaxing to watch.
Such a cool looking topwater
Loved the one at 16:20 where you had to give him a little pat on the noggin to get him going after plopping down in the salad. LOL Awesome day... and another awesome video from the Bob Ross of Fishing. 😎 Keep 'em coming and I'll keep coming back...!
Beautiful, so relaxing, thank you for sharing your experience.🎣
Hey Matt. My brother and I just watched this video the night before last as a pregame to our little trip to DL area. Took our little 12 ft Jon out and slammed 25 Largies, topwater with Whoppers. Caught my PB on my last cast (3 ib 3 oz). Your videos are always an inspiration. Keep it up man.
That sounds like an awesome day! There’s lots of good lakes in that area!
You have to remember one thing about fishing with top water baits. The top of the lure is for us when we buy them. The bottom of the lure, which is usually plain with zero design or colour is supposed to be for the fish.
Another beautiful day for some kayak fishing!
This video was so awesome. Looks like a perfect day all around. Lots of fish!
That roach looks like a killer lure. Love the action.
Such beautiful waters that you are blessed to be able to fish.
You can tell when you're fishing in a spot where the fish don't see many lures. Always fun! Great video!
Simply love your largemouth and smallmouth content I think I’m getting hungry right now, so keep feeding me
Sir, your voice is so calming and relaxing and I enjoy these videos so much. Thanks!! I am interested in temp and month, if you could mention that or put in description I'd b much obliged
Is there any other RUclips channel that can get 250+ comments in 12 hours and 100% of them be positive. Amazing content Matt. Proud to say I was one of your first few thousand subs. You just keep getting better!
That is some nice bass. I am glad you had a fun day.
Love this channel! Thank you for doing this!
If they'll eat a Lego Chewbacca...... That is probably my favorite 'novelty' lure video.
I would love to see the look on the face of whoever ends up with Matts fishing lures when his time is up, WTF !!!! Bugs, Spiders, Roaches, Frogs, Garden Gnomes, Chewbacca's, Baby Crocodiles, Snakes, Wacky Birds & all the crazy stuff he uses on top of all his normal lures. That boy has way too much fun & makes us all wish we were where he gets to fish.
Lord I want to fly out and fish where you fish. You for sure know some good spots. Looks so much fun!!!!
You're videos are always next level, singlehandedly keeping me wanting to fish more 😊
Great Lake, thanks for taking us along on another Yak trip.
Perfect timing. Just sat down with chicken and potatoes unsure what to watch😊
Bass try to eat anything possible. 😂
yeah
I had far more luck this morning throwing the cicada crawling lure than I did with a frog and jointed rapala. I just had to let the cicada sit there for a minute are two and it would get bit. It's been working for me all summer too.
don't they die if they swallow a block of wood?
@@alf3071I’m sure they would and If anyone can catch a bass with a block of wood it’s this man 💯
@@jasonsmith2439he sure could. Saw my mate catch Stocked rainbow trout on a floating cigarette butt🤦♂️
There's beautiful bass in that body of water. 🐟
My family and I enjoy your videos.
With your calm voice and demeanor, you are the "Bob Ross of bass fishing".
Excellent wholesome content like yours is something the entertainment world needs more of.
Thank You, and God Bless!
Does whispering like he don’t know you are there and you can see him and he can see you help lol 😂
Every time you hook into one I play banjo music on my old boombox and "Air Reel " . Some folks play Air Guitar I Air Reel🎣🪕🪕
God damn. I live in Germany, but I grew up in the States and bass fishing was part of my upbringing. I finally got a fishing license here in Germany and for months I've been trying to catch any type of fish (no bass here). Still haven't even had a nibble. I'm starting to doubt myself. I can't believe, that there is no fish in these waters. I get so jealous watching him catch one after the other 😂😂
That was 11 hits you showed us in this video, I wonder what's the most in a trip you've caught. Awesome video!
i love the videos there so calming to watch
That was a great day of fishing my friend!!
seeing videos like these from you make me instantly want to see a Marling Baits collab. He makes all kinds of weird lures and i could see the potential of you two making a really weird lure and catching some fish one them
Fish are generally opportunistic feeders. Yes, sometimes you have to go through some lures to see what they bite. I dealt with this today. Since the fall transition is upon us, a great lure to use is owner block head ned rig. It's weedless with an elatech creyfish reddish color with trophy bass. I sadly lost one lol 😂 I was spacing for a couple of seconds and sadly lost the only bass I could have caught. I believe it's because I'm tired from working hard all week. No biggie, I had a great time. 😊 I love fishing. Summer has been tough because it's been hot. Once you notice the fall transition, it's important to keep moving to where bass will stage when winter comes in a few months. Tomorrow I'll move to a new spot. Then go back to a spot I went to before in mid-September and caught some nice smallies and almost a striper to see if they'll stage in the spots I was in last year. Either way, I'll keep on top of it when I can to track the bass. Long as there's no heavy rain, of course 😊
ahh saturday afternoon video life is good :)
Great Quality Large mouth bass 💪
Really enjoyed the video
I really appreciate the absence of profanity and obnoxious behavior! This man’s videos are golden!
Wow what a Gem of a lake.Those are great healthy looking fish.Thats what I call heaven on earth.Lakes like that are every bass fisherman's dream.Good show.The best on RUclips.
It’s tough to get into too, other than a couple jon boats at the few houses on the lake you won’t get much bigger than a kayak in there.
Holy Cow,top water smashes are the best! Great video Bro,here up north,there may be some 7-8 pounders in private farm ponds,but everything else is just over fished,I Love fishing in the south,would love to take a trip to O.H.Ivie in Texas! Keep these vids coming!!
Awesome videos like always brother catching nice bass 😊
I miss bass fishing and watching them hit top water
Man the Reckless Roach wrecked them!!! Was thinkin you was gonna see if they munched a frog that good or if it was they were wanting a big bug!!
Hang on...I need to go scrub MY kayak, just looking at that weedy, dank muck! LOL
Great job as usual 😊😊😊
Those largies have been eating well. Like they’re eating at a division one training table, bulking up for football season. Thanks for taking us along. Excellent as always Matt!
I think whatever you tie on they eat! Love these videos and If I was in your area I’d love to bring out my kayak and go fishing with ya
You’ve got some excellent fisheries within driving distance.
Imagine having such a aura that the fish want to jump into the kayak with you lol
