Boundary Waters Kayak Fishing And Camping Adventure! (Day 1)

[@EosFFA]

I like your positive attitude I can't deal with the hype KZbin fisherman you always been chill asf. Class.

[@mhough3]

Steve Dittman dude......stick to golf maybe. This guy knows what he’s doing.

Steve Dittman you don’t need one if your a confident swimmer you don’t need it if anything your the idiot

[@christianjosephangeles6666]

Your concern will surely be appreciated, just keep your stupid ass ideas to yourself.

[@charlesboyle9980]

Yea almost all the other you tubers are tryna be the fish hype master

[@Slormer]

Hahaha, the plano-pillow! "The anglers were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of crankbaits danced in their heads."

[@CaKayakFishing]

Kayak camping they say For it’s not too far away. We’ll kayak then camp and catch lots of fish, then eat hamburger helper, trust me it’s delish. No bites on the crawbug baits for awhile, don’t worry mate a wee plopper will bring a smile. All comfy and cozy, the last few mosquitos in the air, a Plano lure box as a pillow you dare? We hope you slept well Matt with that thing under your neck, I know if it was mine I’d be a dog gone wreck. Dream away of huge smallies jumping in the yak, let all the posers run lips and talk smack. By the end of the trip you’ll have footage galore and all the subs will be happy but craving for more.

[@bigcountryoutdoors8634]

i pray that you never stop making these videos man . ive watched for years and years and i really love your channel . i dont watch tv i just watch outdoor adventure youtube channels but some of the dudes are obnoxious and over excited and silly . i love how calm and relaxed you are man it makes for a great vibe

[@ibanez2010]

I was wondering where you've been, then boom...epic adventure!

[@cliftonross7647]

Exactly! Been coming back every couple days waiting for the next video.

[@xingao2057]

tackle box pillow，what a fishman 😂

[@UncleVothski]

I was thinking the same. Great video Thanks as always

[@TheNodontdoit]

When I found your channel 4 years ago you inspired me to start fishing. Since then I have become an avid canoeist and camper. This last year I spent about 50 days back country camping and fishing. Thanks Matt for sharing the beautify of this fine hobby.

[@ndyakangler]

That’s awesome! I need to make a trip back up north again it was a lot of fun!

Dude you gotta be the most understated,most informative angler I have seen on youtube,I have learned just by watching your vids,how you pick what to target,how to pick the right lure for the moment,no hype,no click bait,no acting a fool for views,you are a true outdoorsman,and a real class act,really inspiring, the true meaning of a great angler,and a real class act,thankyou for taking the time to share your fishing experience and thankyou for taking the time and work it takes to make these videos

[@telemarkmann6870]

Matt, That was a slice a Heaven. Beautiful. There is something about those shallow rock strewn lakes that spell fish to me. I crave that type of environment. If I am with others and they are catching fish in deep water, I am in the rocks and boulders. Waiting anxiously for the next video from this trip.

[@trs4437]

I fish in northern Ontario but your videos really have me thinking about a northern Minnesota jaunt some day. I’m just gonna concur with every other comment here and praise the quality of your videos but also your advanced fishing skills, which you simply show, not tell. A high bar and I learn something new every time I watch. Makes you appreciate how great KZbin can be.

[@justhavingfun0736]

Did a trip with some friends to BWCA. We had the time of our lives canoeing, camping and catching fish. We still talk about it to this day. Some of the most beautiful scenery and best fishing I’ve ever experienced, except Canada. Some of the best shore lunches I’ve ever had.

[@skydiver6711]

I love hamburger helper. It is one of my favorite meals ever. However, after a day of fishing there is absolutely NOTHING better than fresh out of the water fried fish with potatoes and maybe come corn or green beans or something like that. I can't imagine not having that on a camp out like you are on. I believe you are in the most beautiful country in the whole United States.

[@erikstark3250]

Seriously I've been to the majority of the states and there is NOTHING like the BWCA.... only place left like it here.

[@Dreamlink91]

Plane fishing and chill, no fucking ads, hype music and 1 mil money gear.. best fishing channel ever. I only wish we see more of Pikes and Zanders 😄

[@williamelliott4444]

I threw the same Plopper yesterday and landed two nice smallies of 18.5 & 18” in skinny water. Love creek fishing.

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

So glad your back, I need one of your peaceful adventures in my life today.

[@trevorjohnson5792]

Nothing more beautiful than a clear water, north woods lake

[@InternetRambler]

I know this is a fishing channel but if you have any footage from more of the camping side please throw it in the edit!!

[@HoosierStateFishing]

Agreed!

[@WookaBounce]

Agreed! Especially the prep choosing stuff and how to fit in the kayak.

[@timmills5496]

Would like that also

[@MsKindaSorta]

Hey Matt, happy to see you in your element and escaping the chaos. Beautiful, just beautiful. ✌️😍

[@brianbowman1148]

It's been a long time since I used that roller portage. Thanks for taking me back down memory lane.

[@douglaslashuay]

Bob Ross of fishing. Absolutely nothing but positive vibes. Keep them coming!

[@MrGeroth]

What’s nice about your channel, you catch fish and you release them. That is a true sportsman, thanks for sharing.

[@AlexanderBronskyFishing]

What an awesome video that captures the northern magic baby!

[@kayakengineer]

Great video and love the hat! I'm glad you offered us something new. I've been a subscriber for many years and would like to request that you expand your fishing content beyond just "fishing on the river". Show us more of who you are as a kayak fisherman. Can't wait for day 2.

[@Scro99]

I love the hat too! Anyone got info on who makes it? Cheers

[@IAmHere..]

Well said.. great vid

[@KyleM_from_the_Ozarks]

Ditto! I love the river content, as that's mainly what I do as well. But I love seeing kayak fishing in different elements like this. I've done a couple canoe trips into the BWCA and never considered taking my kayak. May have to give that a try next time, especially if I can find portages like that one - holy moly that looks convenient!

[@cfapps7865]

Boundary Waters. Have not been up there for 20+ years. Only thing I miss about Minnesota is the summer and fishing.

[@nealulmer1787]

The boundary waters are such an amazing place. Absolutely beautiful and the fishing is a nice bonus.

[@antoniomora1255]

A most beautiful lake with not only beautiful smallies but decent largies for variety as well. Oh Matt, you are living a dream of a fishing trip!

[@eyestoenvy]

Man what a BEAUTIFUL setting ....

[@lannyseals2084]

You have a little slice of heaven and Earth up where you're camping and fishing!

[@pauloruck842]

Oh, that's what Heaven looks like.

[@michaelb4938]

Started going to the BWCA when I was 8 years old till I was 18 with my dad. Best memories I've ever has with my dad!

[@ndyakangler]

I plan on taking my daughter when she gets to be around that age. She’s ten months old now and already loves being outdoors!

[@cortical1]

Enjoying your channel! Thanks for just being you. In these times of national strife and division, we all need to be reminded of our shared humanity and values. Sending lucky fishing vibes from San Diego.

[@bitefishing]

Just started watching, and immediately subscribed. Thanks for sharing the adventure, and not hopping around in front of the camera like a nutcase. You are a true outdoorsman and appreciator of the amazing world we live in. I love you for that Matt. In Mississippi, we have wildlife too. In the spring, the road to Arkabutla lake blooms blue with Bud Light aluminum bottles. What a sight to behold, I tell you.

[@buckedpuppy7263]

I know what you mean Pelagic, I've been born and raised in the Sip

[@bitefishing]

@@buckedpuppy7263 Maybe we'll be lucky enough to cross paths sometime. Do you kayak?

[@buckedpuppy7263]

Pelagic Anadromous I Mainly just fish off banks or if I get lucky and someone has a boat. But yeah we may cross paths

[@aroundmichaelsbarn601]

Nice! 12 years ago I visited the boundary waters for a camp and fishing trip. It was an adventure of a lifetime for this Arkansas boy. Good to see it again through your channel! Thanks for sharing.

[@ckzheng3910]

Really enjoy watching you fishing, so relaxing and pleasant. This is the most underrated KZbin channel, you should have more subs. :)

[@bonny2993]

As a viewer I love the top water stuff ... I find myself hollering fish-on everytime I see the fish swirl and grab it

[@maineiacoutdoors689]

Now we know why there haven't been many vids this month. Well done young fella! T'was well worth the wait.

[@stevefisher2121]

I can't believe I missed these videos - what a beautiful place and the fishing ain't too bad either!!!! Going to watch day 2 now.

[@robertbuchanan4378]

Nothing like being out in the quiet of nature on a beautiful lake on a beautiful day, got er made in the shade 😎 😅.

[@OldLadyAngler]

What gorgeous waters. So clear! GREAT place to camp for a few nights. Love it.

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

Catch myself watching your stuff over and over again. Thanks for the effort you put into what you do.

[@scottybear2961]

Brings back memories of a Quetico trip I took about 10 years ago. I think I may still have one in me. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@davidefterfield8728]

The scenery is beautiful there

[@tomroise9426]

Out like that all day. Just about z as nothing tastes great. Congrats on an awesome opportunity. That water is still beautiful. Thank you BWCA for maintaining that beautiful area. Thank you for sharing with us. Keep them coming.

Me and my wife are loving your content man !

That lake looks like the one we tented/trailered at when I was a kid what feels like a million years ago now. So many good memories came back, just from hearing the water, the birds and the sound of the paddle in the water. Thank you for this.

What a beautiful trip Matt, the Boundary Waters are a bucket list destination for me for sure. Thanks for taking us along.

Awesome! I’d love to see more videos like this! Especially more of the “in camp” footage of the whole trip. Great content!

Ahhh BWCA. Such a wonderful area.

[@waltersteffensthezr2man431]

Absolute phenomenal video man what a beautiful place takes me back to my youth thank you for sharing!!!

[@happyhillsfarm8567]

Whopper plopper for the win. When I was up there 2 years ago at the same time I was using a white plopper and caught a ton, everyone else in my crew had never heard of them. Heading back again this year and I’d say everyone will have at least one in their tackle box. BWCA is a great place to fish, which is why our 14 hour drive is worth it.

[@johnjuza2659]

one of your best videos! Hamburger helper and that sunset it doesn't get any better than that!

[@bobbyswain7049]

Man that looks just like the spot we camped on Lake of The Woods a decade ago......the smallmouth fishing was incredible......trip of a lifetime........looking forward to day 2

[@DodoBird157]

If you ever go back up north, other than the huge largemouth and smallmouth bass, there’s also monster pike, massive lake trout, huge walleye, dinner plate sized sunfish, slab crappie, huge perch, big rainbow and brook trout, big suckers, and giant rock bass. There’s also tons of hunting opportunities later in the season if that interests you. I’ve also heard that in some smaller lakes there are big lake sturgeon. Also heard of East Pike Lake holding some small musky.

[@kendallbrent5903]

I really enjoy all of your videos, especially the videos of you smashing smallmouth of the river, but my favorite videos by far are these two where you are at the boundary waters. Please do more like these

[@ajw007white4]

Greek video sir thank you for sharing cheers🍻🍻 Glad to see you posting again

What a great camp site. Very jealous of this lake. Great video cant wait for day 2

Fabulous video Matt...your outdoors videos are a head and shoulders above the masses on KZbin. I 10X prefer hearing nature in your videos versus all that ridiculous loud music that others do.

What a perfect place for camping and fishing.

You can have crawfish for dinner. Nice video Matt.

[@ndyakangler]

That thought crossed my mind!

[@sienervanrensburg6644]

Every one of your videos that I have seen is amazing, I have great respect for you as I can see that you are responsible and not just catching, but catch and release. I wish we had more fisherman such as you down here in South Africa. As always... Its truly a pleasure to be a part of all your expeditions.. THANK you. Hope to see you in South Africa - Kwazulu Natal to have a blast catching our monster Bass..

[@Kltpzyxm17]

FF to July of 2022. I've watched alot of your vids, this has been a great one! I can tell by the way you handle those fish, that you've gotten hooked before...

So awesome to see you’re at Boundary Waters! I’ve made the trip three times and the small and largemouth bass up there are always killer! Can’t wait for the rest of the trip!

[@brenthanson8629]

I instantly recognized these two lakes north of Ely. They’re my favorite lakes for yak camping. I think you inspired me to try my hand at some bass fishing there next year!

[@robertking6865]

I love this! GOOD TO SEE YOU ACTIVE AGAIN......I know your a workin man but it would be great to see you take on a lengthier adventure, ala Joe Robinette...Good job!

[@dennisstewart7849]

Where did you enter the Boundary Waters Canoe Basin? Our last trip, we entered off of the Gunflint Trail, the eastern side of the basin. I believe we entered into Seagull Lake and then did several portages, before returning to Seagull. My then 13 year old son, caught a 30.5 inch walleye, that weighed in over 13 pounds. What a memory...…..

[@KyleM_from_the_Ozarks]

We just got back from a canoe trip, starting at Seagull at entry point 54. Went into Alpine, Rog, and Jasper. Wanted to make it up to Red Rock Lake but never got around to it. It's such a beautiful area!

[@dennisstewart7849]

@@KyleM_from_the_Ozarks, we came out of Seagull into another lake, not sure of it's name. I took two young boys with me, in a canoe, and we drifted in some current between two lakes. One lake was higher than the other, so there was some good current coming into our lake. We drifted over and over in that current for about an hour. The boys caught multiple smallies, some over four pounds, but with every cast they caught a fish. What a beautiful experience and what pristine water. As you said, it is a beautiful area. Especially if you know what you want to fish for. I brought live leeches with me and everyone on the trip, laughed a me. They were laughing when they realized the amount of fish and the kind of fish we could catch. I look forward to more videos from the Boundary Waters Canoe Basin.a

[@cgandy2]

Matt, this is a great video. I am totally envious of that camp site and the quality fishing there. Like the rest of your viewers, I check your page every day for new videos and was super glad to see this one. Now I look forward to more videos from those boundary water lakes! Thank you for taking us on your adventure.

[@PinchTheBarb]

I love that lake. The roller portage is so cool!

[@NEYakAngler]
