2019 MN Fishing Opener River Smallmouth

It's opening day of Minnesota's fishing season and I'm back on the river chasing smallmouth!

The 2 thumbs down probably use a spinning reel upside down.

[@BassManStrikes]

LOL, those people offend me hahahah ( I mean the ones that hold spinning reels upside down)

[@MountainStateAngler]

Probably people that got skunked.

[@cygnus53]

Yeah, they use the reel right side up and reel in backwards LOL

[@indyfosho5458]

That shit bothers me. Haha!

[@ohasis00]

Hands down best kayak fisherman on KZbin

Dude is Bob Ross with a Fishing Rod

[@xmikemillsx]

I watch a lot of fishermen on youtube, but THIS is what I have been waiting for more than anything. Thank you for bringing back some of the best fishing content on youtube.

[@davidtirado1804]

he is really good

[@randallburgess46]

Fell apart laughing at the stories you talked about in the beginning, turned out to be a a great day for smallies!

[@adamcaldwell553]

Welcome back my friend...been waiting for your next video.

[@timbooker6739]

I totally agree. It's been too long to see a video from you.

[@lyubakavideo]

You, fine Sir, crack me up! *Boats a five pounder “com’ere lil’ buddy” 😂

[@york9x199]

Thank God you're back!! There's not a better fishing video on KZbin than yours!

[@lyubakavideo]

York9x19 hey now, we all love his content, but us lesser anglers try hard to make vids too 😜

[@gearhead4005]

therapeutic videos man. nice fish, great work.

[@jordanjiang2090]

I am guessing the bait / lure is not important any more, no matter what he uses, he can catch the fish, always! LOL.... Thank you for posting, very happy watching your video.

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

I spent 3 hours yesterday in the Kayak in marginal smallmouth water, wondering what would Matt throw if he was here. Then I thought why would he be here , he lives in smallmouth heaven. Glad your back at it. I will live vicariously thru your videos .

[@rolandgdean]

Rumor-mill be damned! lol...what a great sense of humor you have...it comes standard with your towering intellect. But seriously, I'm surprised you don't "winter" down in Florida mentoring under Roland Martin catching "largies" in the swamps..."life goals".

[@frankguemmer1238]

Good to see you back in action!! Thanks for treating your releases with such respect - many fisherman fling the fish like it's a piece of trash. Very hard on an already tired fish. Here in WI we can't keep any smallies until late June but they are certainly a blast to catch!

[@mike2104]

Found my new favorite KZbin channel

[@robfarnam938]

Y'all are blessed to have all those bronze beauties up there. Great videos bud. Thanks.

[@wmrichards2909]

We are not blessed with clear water, so getting to watch you lure them out is so satisfying.

[@edwinprichard3082]

It's good to see you back out there I missed your videos great looking

[@edwinprichard3082]

Great looking small mouth bass That's what I was trying to say a few minutes ago when I got rudely cut off thanks for the videos never stop

[@hawkeyehansen4598]

My kids & I enjoy watching your videos. Not sure who was more excited them or me when this new one dropped.

[@SlimboJimbo]

Just want to say, you inspired me to get into kayak fishing and it’s been a blast so far. Keep up the great videos!

[@FishBerry90]

I am SO pumped for your videos. The legend has returned 👍🎣😎

[@tinkmarshino]

it is just such a darn good feeling to be back on the water isn't it.. Dang am ready!! although at 67 I can not do a kayak I would be to stiff and sore after about 15 min. But I can still get around from the boat or from the bank... thanks for the share.. I am getting stoked..

[@billycraighead9814]

WOW.I love your show.It reminds me of the river I fish where I live.We dont have quite the quality though.Them are some giants.Keep the shows coming and I will be watching.Your show is the best on the internet.

[@codymortenson]

So happy you're back man!!!!

[@jimmykx250]

Love this guys content. So simple and entertaining.

[@BASSnBEER]

NDY you are tha MAN!!! Wish we could catch them like that here in TN, we've been trying though lol

[@robertbuchanan4378]

The bass master of the smallmouth world 🌎 is back in action, the action Jackson angler.

[@ClaseeAzphukAnonIND]

Brother your channel is perhaps the absolute best fishing channel on youtube and that in my opinion is true. There is something about your content that is separate to all others and whatever it is I cannot get enough .. from the scenery to the commentary and the fishing itself .. you are head and shoulders above others ..

[@mattsnyder7814]

Brother for not being endorsed or commercial....I love your vids... Straight forward no BS and right to the point and you slam the SM...The vids you post are better then any TV fishing show hands down...If you ever get picked up for a show please never change the format it's most excellent from the stand point you are doing....

[@harrygrimley4352]

Welcome back. The only fishing videos I watch all the way thru. Thanks for posting. Don't change a thing.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Beautiful area, and I loved that intro! To funny! Good little Bronz back bite.

[@TMoua79]

Alright!!! That’s what I’m talking about! Welcome back. I can watch you catch them, even if I’m not catching them.

[@telemarkmann6870]

I have been impatiently waiting for your return - Welcome Back!

[@bronzebackanglerharden3482]

I fished all opener weekend on my favorite river that I've fished for years and not even a bite. Water was kinda high but clear. Pissed me off honestly. That river your on is a gem and I'm jealous!!!

[@zubertish]

Great to have you back in the saddle... awesome vid, you haven't lost your touch! Cool to see that one next to you come Bitsy up.

[@andrewsnyder179]

Good to see ya back in the saddle again after a long winter. As always a phenomenal post. Look forward to the next one.

[@royhubbard6579]

Glad You’re back, looking forward to some top water action!!!!

[@walkerhomestead6853]

Good to see you back buddy. I was thrilled to see your upload. I always enjoy watching. Thank you!! Fish on

[@bustedrav]

Nice! Putting this on the big screen, 1080p and enjoying the scenery and fish! Glad you're back man.

[@erudite1579]

Brings back long-ago memories of fishing smallies on the North and South forks of the Shenandoah River. Nice job!

[@aripenik]

Welcome back! Man, i'm so happy for you to be back on the water and for all of us.

[@jeffdouglass5398]

I never comment on fishing videos, but I am glad you're back

[@ATOUTDOORS]

HAPPY SPRING MAN,I FIGURED IT WAS BOUGHT TIME FOR YA,AS ALWAYS SOME OF THE BEST SMALLIES AROUND, U GOT A KILLER FISHERY BRO💪🐟👍

[@Spacecadet0730]

Yay new vid! I always get pumped up to go fishing after watching one of your vids. Here's to a great season!

[@jbenit]

[@stevencooper8182]

What a opener!!! Hoping for a whooper plopper of a season

[@derekpeterson7304]

Great video man! Glad spring has finally reached you up there hope you have a great fishing season!

[@alfitoito]

It's nice to see you back dude, I think we all miss you mate! Actually, in my case, I was chating today with my partner about the 2 months you've been out of the scene. Glad to see that you're all fine and to watch a new video of your own. All the best for you from this subscriber!!

[@Notorious_Nate]

Dang it is good to have you back on the youtubes! I've missed your excellent vids!

[@frankw7266]

Hell Yes.... Bob Ross of fishing is back!!

[@craigselby8713]

Excellent analogy!

[@fishing5462]

you have a new color Buzz stick coming to you Matt good to see you back

[@kellymason4190]

Glad to see you back on the water. Been missing all those beautiful brown fish. 🤙🏻

[@andrewhoeft2710]

Ahhhhhh... all is right with the world again! Good 2 see ya, Matt. Good to see the ol bitsy bug too! 😉😎👍.

[@PedroHernandez-vi7ne]

The best Smalljaw angling content KZbinr has returned. you got me all jacked ! 😆

[@robertchillcott7669]

I bet people who like to fish in Minnesota look forward to warmer weather, the winter weather there can be brutally cold with lots of snow. Having a Power Pole is a nice accessory on a kayak to fish places like this.

[@davidtanner6834]

Yet another great video. thankyou for sharing.

[@jenniferdeguise5505]

Yay! So excited!!!! I have been watching every day for signs of life. Glad to have you back man, amazing content as always

[@BravoBassin]

glad yoru back man love your videos and don't know how you can go 5 months without fishing for those smallies! I am very lucky that where I live I can fish for them yea round! looking forward to your videos this summer!

[@striperhunter-ic2wt]

Welcome back, great to see your video and look forward to more.

[@captainggttv3243]

I like how u play the fish unlike all the other channels who just drag them on in under 3 seconds

[@johnandersen4036]

The man the myth the legend oh shit watch out smallmouths he's back

[@thomassmith2056]

Smallmouth dont stand a chance😀

[@epiphonesj15]

So good to see you back on the water! Next week should be my week. Here’s to a good season! 👍🏻

[@garyhulsopple2621]

Glad your back. Live in northeast and waiting for Hudson River water level to drop so I can hit my favorite holes. Lot of rain up here but comforting to watch your videos . #1 on you tube. thank you

[@AjLynn45thParallelFishing]

Nicely Done Sir ~ Congrats on a Great Opener

[@THEMONVALLEYFISHERMAN]

I love your channel. Glad to see you’re back!

[@BrianBanks8134]

Awesome video bro that's was a great opening day of smallie action them where some toads!🐸

[@chadwalker8859]

Glad to see you back, those smallmouth are beautiful fish!!

[@ledraps22]

Thank goodness! Tight lines this year. And stay safe out there!

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

Welcome back! Glad you didn't run off with the circus and glad the ice finally thawed, time to catch some fish. Looking forward to many more videos

[@DCBronzies]

It’s smallie szn ladies and gentlemen! The return of ND is upon us!!

[@AllTheHobbies]

Beautiful river. Thanks for sharing your trip

[@texasbassfreak3549]

Glad you're back with another Smallie video!!! Hands down, one of the BEST fishing channels on KZbin!!!

[@alvarolopez6761]

It's good to have you back! I missed the football-shaped smallies. I was thinking it must be so reassuring for you to hook up with them again. Tight lines friend, and keep the cameras rolling!

[@its_hammer_time3694]

Been a long winter sir.. welcome back eh!

[@frasurechannel2653]

Good to see you back!! I miss the Smallies!!

[@quicksilvuhh]

Duuuude... I straight up missed you. Haha great opening bit!

[@phillipiacobacci1369]

Great video, fantastic fishing, love the rivers

[@onepunch9203]

5:45 You literally made me laugh out loud. "I missed you guys....." That's exactly how I feel when spring rolls around.

[@FishBerry90]

You're fishing videos are the only ones I re-watch 👍🎣

[@jbrown9485]

Got my yak cleaned up ready to go and we got 5 inches of rain here in Dayton ohio, oh well at least I got to see you get a few nice ones. Welcome back Matt

[@PureFishermenTV]

Welcome back dude. I was so pumped to see a giant close up smallmouth in my feed lol

[@babyblue8214]

I've been nailing em with shallow running cranks..

[@BassManStrikes]

So have I, had really good luck this past weekend with a fire tiger Berkely 60mm Wakebull. The Fox river where I fish has really poor visibility (kind of looks like chocolate milk) and the bass can't see jigs but man they nail the loud cranks.

[@TheBumpinhillbilly]

You sir are the Bob Ross of kayak fishing.

[@BoogalooBeet]

That power pole set up seams fantastic. I'll have to look into that for myself.

[@candidx7057]

Nice trip, thanks for taking me along!

[@pennxl]

Glad to see you’re back! Love your videos.

[@brsh496]

Your videos are really special to me man. I miss the fishing back home so much, and it's just as good as what you have. It makes me tear up a bit inside watching this one. It's been half a year since I fished prior to today. Ever since joining the Air Force I don't have the fishing I used to have and it breaks my heart, fishing is my happy place. So thank you for making content man. I love your videos so much.

[@foreverdirty3120]

Fellow Minnesota fishermen glad your back maybe I’ll catch you out in the waters

[@cowboylytle]

So glad you’re back!!!

[@jaredtroyer4085]

Good to see another great video from you sir. For sure my favorite ones on youtube.

[@WAEofFishing]

Mean I was thinking about your vids yesterday!!! Glad to see this video!

[@Destination_Dive]

This guy has the best vids. No nonsense just great content and great action. I gotta get into yak angling!!

[@steveporteroutdoorsohio4739]

Liked the video can't wait to catch some smallies

[@chrispequeno55]

I'd love to fish with you. Biggest smallmouth I've ever seen. Love your channel. Cant wait for some more whopper popper videos. Keep it up man.

[@badbogey7638]

Perfect timing! Going to be going after the smallies in a couple of weeks.

[@samuelwarden6285]

Great vid as always and glad your able to get back out there and enjoy what you love. I gotta say I am glad to be living in NW AL though because we dont have seasons for fish. That's actually new to me when you said that I was like "wait what is it like hunting season for fish?" 👊👍

[@ericgolding4708]

Glad to see you again. Great video

[@jackwalsh8088]

glad you're back and great fish!!

[@JAlanPaul]

Picking up my first kayak this week! Maybe I'll see you out there!

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

So glad to see you back at it crushing some fat river bronzebacks. Hope you have a great, safe season!

[@michaelmay8140]

Welcome back bud. Been missing your small mouth videos all winter!

[@ralphanderson2167]

That looked to be a very pleasant day on the water .
