You definitely have some of the best fishing content on KZbin!

[@blakeross2852]

Especially for Minnesota content no ones catching quality fish like this on the regular on KZbin

[@Dreqsa]

Agreed, easily best videos

[@_DEX_-]

100% agree👍🏼

[@larryvilla6869]

I don't see anyone else on youtube consistently catch four plus pound smallmouth this guy is insane.

[@lofigaming8472]

Not a hyped redbull junkie...just calm chill and get to hear all the nature. Love it man. Thank you thank you!

[@milboltnut]

redbull junkie ! funny, yeah he's the Bob Ross of fishing ! LOL Once I found Matt I don't have any interest in any other actually other than informational vids from manufactures and Bassresource forum . All the hype of lures, rods and reels and such really doesn't matter. I mean some of the crazy lures he used is proof that fish don't really care, for the most part, what you toss in front of them. He doesn't indulge on gear, just shares what he uses and that he likes them, and see how they work, and moves on. Doesn't overload you with info. Layed back guy, easy and enjoyable to watch. I learn alot from Matt.

[@LawsonLindseyFishing]

i've become a big fan of your vids man, you keep it so real.

💯🤘 for real tho broo

[@shimshonbendan8730]

Anyone who loves the outdoors and fishing needs to see the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota. It is a pristine area. It is like time forgot about it. The beauty of it along with the calm and serenity is something hard to find elsewhere. This is definitely the best fishing channel there is on KZbin.

[@timconaway5077]

Confishus say, "Tis better to catch a big smallie than a small biggie."

[@BackroadsAngling]

What an amazing place! There's something hypnotic about watching the scenery while listening to the paddles cut through the water.

[@danhughes3626]

True story

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Hey look, it's Backroads Angling! I heard that guy caught a 15 lb hybrid striper

[@BackroadsAngling]

@@EngineeringHooksets I heard he put lead inside it.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

@@BackroadsAngling Unsubscribing if that's true 😢

[@milboltnut]

compared to where I live with trash and runoff, it's paradise where Matt lives even near suburbia. I like when he mentions how clear the water is !

[@Rook9696]

that first bass was just chill like you held him up and he's just "catch and release right? alrighty, have a good day" and gently swims away

[@nootnoot4373]

Awesome video from my favorite fishing youtuber. Simple humble guy who respects the fish doesnt keep them out of the water for an hour love it

[@CPTFiXtion]

I need this kind of thing in my life pronto. Camping lakeside, and kayak fishing. You sir, have found paradise.

The Bob Ross of fishing living inside a Bob Ross painting...

[@jdub2716]

Looks alot like the Adirondacks near me. Nothing like the cry of a loon in the evening to give you a calm feeling. Another great video, thanks. And thanks for the link to those beefy forceps I have been looking for. My favorite fishing channel. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful smallies, doesn't get much better.

[@deonnawilliams4903]

I can watch and listen to you fish all day Matt. I deff enjoyed pt.2. All beautiful and quality fish every single one as always though. Deff can’t wait to see you on the next one. Btw you and I, love how you allowed the moth to collect himself on the back of yak☺️.

[@davelyons2601]

When I'm having a stressful day...I come right to your channel. It really helps...

[@tomjonas3391]

The Boundary Waters are so special. Great paddling and fishing. It is the southernmost part of the vast Canadian Shield . We would go there every summer when I was a boy. Thanks for the reminder of things special.

[@billsmith5166]

I'll always remember the smell and sound of heavy rain on a calm lake in the Boundary Waters. The smell of the fire in the cabin where we dried out and waited to eat was just as good. The lodge was owned by a family that had kids that were exactly our ages. The one that was my age was a very pretty girl. Her name was Peggy. Ha! You never know that you're having the best time of your life when you're that young. I remember it often when I'm falling asleep. After long consideration, the only thing I'd change is that I'd want all of my dogs there with us. Thanks for the video. I'll be watching it again.

[@jeffcarter2908]

thanks for the interlude, Matt. The ambient sound on these two was really fine.

[@ericnaas8557]

I was there at the exact same time as you! Tons of walleye with the biggest at 24.25” and quite a few 4lb smallies.

[@carmencapriola5151]

Awesome trip enjoyed the scenery as much as the fishing, you always do a great job. Thanks

[@92Koondog92]

I love everything about this video, from the scenery to the calm voice, to the actual sound of the Whopper Plopper cutting through the water. I would throw that thing in a dugout just to hear it come across the water. We don't have any bass where I am, but I'm tempted to buy that thing just for the zen of it.

[@tomroise9426]

Beautiful country. Love seeing the smooth water and watching the beautiful scenery. Thx for sharing..

[@bobr7867]

Dude, not only are you skilled enough to pull in 4lb smallies, the fish are trained to jump in your ‘yak! That was a sweet moment - thanks for a beautiful recap of your two day trip!

[@CaryKelly11]

This scene, it's like fishing inside a Bob Ross painting.

[@RAHMX145]

How does the channel not have more subs? Thanks for putting this together and sharing it with us. Those fish are all studs, what an awesome place.

[@vhecs66]

That intro...was EPIC!!! I love how you always start you videos with the sound of nature! 🤗

[@sonnytok2041]

i like it that you always release the fish you caught, even saving a moth out of the water. nice, man. God bless you n family, thanks for the very experienced yet relaxing video

Yeah, he's beating the devil out of that whopper plopper.

[@kennybucholz5633]

You're the Mister Rogers of fishing. So calm and relaxed. Always enjoyable.

[@garybarrere7552]

Wow my eyes are full beautiful place small mouth loons calling so peaceful. Thanks for capturing and sharing.

[@joshuasterling2144]

My dad caught a 9 pound LMB off of a spider web on deadwood. He hung his lure over the web between two deadwood trees and it jumped out of the water and destroyed it. One of the wildest catches I have ever seen. We also caught one in a similar fashion with the lure laying over the boat just like your yak, pretty wild for sure.

[@miguelangelsiller6314]

Therapeutics my friend, smallmouth fishing is amazing.
