This guy is the Bob Ross of fishing. Best fishing channel!

[@colinkelly279]

I absolutely cannot imagine what it is like to have such hotspots all to yourself. The peace, the fishing, the scenery. Amazing day at an easily accessible location. Nice.

[@IWorldLeader]

I'm slightly jealous

[@Brian-vd4mg]

Yea where I live there would be lots of evidence of fishing(fishermen trash)at a place that accessible.

[@alotek2408]

I had a nice spot like this for about 2 years, then someone posted it on FishBrain. Now the whole place is covered in trash (line, hooks, beer cans, styrofoam bait containers, etc.). Makes me so damn sad. I fill up a big trash bag every time I am there, but I can't keep up with it :(

[@Brian-vd4mg]

@@alotek2408 yep this is what happens in my area to every accessible spot. I’m getting a Kayak when I decide to get back out fishing mostly to get to spots with no pressure.

[@alotek2408]

@@Brian-vd4mg Yea, it's so sad. I do a lot of fishing by myself in "far to reach" places with a Kayak, etc. and it's amazing. But at the same time I think I get the most enjoyment in taking my nephews/nieces fishing to accessible places, and it's a god damn shame that people can't pick up their trash. I feel embarrassed showing them places where I've fished for years that are now completely littered with trash. What is so HARD about putting your trash away in your bag or backpack, whatever you bring with you? :(

[@christophershelton1735]

One thing I love about this channel is no music. No adds. No produt plugs. Great job sir

[@tommyrq180]

Just a small tip, FWIW. I put a spot of white paint at 18”, 19”, two at 20”, and another at 21” up from rod butt. Gives you a quick measurement for a big fish if you’re away from the ruler (like today). 😊

[@DanKoning777]

I can hear the smallies talking right now "I don't know about ya'll, but I just lost my taste for crayfish; and when did they start biting back like that?" I'm retired now, but I'd of loved to have had a spot like this-what a great spot to unwind after a long day at work. An hour there and you'd be back to normal. Good stuff Matt. God bless.

[@BrockVillain]

Woah!!! Honey hole. I love the acoustics from that pipe when the fish jump.

[@allforugod]

THAT'S MY SPOT!!!! I know exactly where you are and yes the culverts there are GOLD.

[@SavageVoyageur]

Funny you should say that because I know exactly where that is too. Hahahaha

[@skippyjones4195]

Well I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again you are the BOB ROSS of fisherman what a wonderful video Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤👍✌️💪🏻

[@chesschess100]

Sir, I love your vids. One thing I’m particularly impressed with is the accuracy of your casts when in your yak. I imagine a few shore/weeds/tree casts must get edited out… how about a blooper vid? Might be fun. Love your channel.

[@onepunch9203]

Thanks, Matt! We all love the kayak footage, but this was excellent, too.

[@freeurmind2871]

I love watching your videos, they’re very therapeutic. Thank you 🙏

[@Mattsommers521]

You know it’s going to be a good day of fishing when you get a hit within your first few casts! Great video as always!!

[@vansaukam799]

WOWSERS! When one starts feeding, it can start a chain reaction of ringing the lunch bell.

[@christinerogers5331]

Another great video, Matt, it seems that your videos keep getting better and better or maybe I just look forward to the next one so much that the anticipation heightens my excitement and enjoyment! Thanks again, Matt, anxiously awaiting your next video, take care and be safe!

[@theyetirulrs]

Gotta love it when a roadside distraction becomes the main feature!

[@scottkniss3760]

Yet another awesome video, mate...! One thing did catch my attention, though, when you mentioned not wanting to take a swim on the steep concrete of the culvert; have you ever considered throwing together a "blooper" reel...? There's gotta be some moments in all the years you've been fishing that you've done it... we all have. Toss us some laughs...! :)

[@Fishing_withluca]

Let’s go I wait every day and chek KZbin to see if you posted and today you did, can’t wait to watch the video

[@randallburgess46]

Thanks for taking me along,always appreciate your videos.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Ayeeee!!!! Matt, I hope the fishing over there is outstanding for you, so you still have extra stuff to edit and have for when everything freezes over like crazy.

[@freck45]

I grew up in a neighborhood in Eugene.Oregon that there were a lot of culverts passing between ponds and I'm telling you, that's how I grew up so awesome.Great memories

[@kriskline-l2o]

Happy Saturday, Matt! You definitely made mine! Stay well, brother!

[@theone031]

Thanks for making a video like this. Not all of us have access to a kayak yet and this still gives me hope lol.

[@mrjipper]

Just love the sounds of nature, the crickets and birds, so peaceful. It brings back memories of my childhood. Keep up the cideos

[@Roman-jx1jb]

The Bob Ross of fishing! Wish I knew all the honey holes in my area like you do, but makes for great videos so thanks for sharing as always!

Just started watching this guy a week ago and now I cant stop, keep up the great and calming videos

[@rolandgdean]

I binged for weeks when I found this. And since I'm a woodworker, I even designed an item I was going to gift him but never did it because I'm not sure he could even use it so I never pulled the trigger on it...plus, it's a humor thing and I didn't want to offend him because my sense of humor is a bit eccentric...lol.

[@harrygrimley4352]

So ... a bonus video? Cool. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@oldmanfred8676]

Loved the spotted Smally.😊

[@antoniomora1255]

No smallies over here in Spain but I enjoyed this video. Great catching in such an accesible spot and you were alone!

[@ndyakangler]

I had one other car pull up there for about 20 minutes, and several others slowed down but probably went and found another spot after seeing me fishing.

[@truebalsamhogs]

Thanks. Well done as always. Tight lines.

[@PaulJFleischer]

Stopped by the bridge. Ha!! Yeh. Didn't even need to get in the kayak. Wow! Nice spot and good choice of bait. Excellent releases. I like that head shake you give them.

The mystery tunnel. Love it. Throw bait in; Pull fish out.

[@yummygogolak]

Interesting that they take red fairly late in the season. I use orange/brown craws and that bite just stopped for me at some point in August.

Ounce for ounce and pound for pound, nothing fights like smallmouth bass...especially on light tackle. Gosh this looks like fun!

That's a great little spot Matt and having it all to yourself for a spell....most excellent. Sure did seem like a good time to stop and Boom 💥 Smallies! It'll be hard water season before we know it

[@derekv8534]

Those are some absolute studs!! If there was a spot like that around here it would be shoulder to shoulder of fishermen every weekend.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BassMang! ! ! ! ! 👋🤓 that first smally was boiling that water, love that 🥰 22:06 my god mang, that thing is F A T an has a decent girth as well.. beautiful smally dude 😋 this was an "over all" excellent vid dude.. its a nice change.. see ya on the next one an stay safe bro buh bye 👋🥸

[@dmw1306]

Great job Brother. I really enjoy culvert fishing. I caught my PB Largemouth Bass from a culvert. 6.9 l.bs North Idaho.

[@brucesheehe6305]

Smallie said, "What is that stickin' in my craw?" "Ah, it is Matt's craw - darn it - fooled again!"

[@gslang3489]

You should try out the Zman Hellraizer. I took your advice on the headbanger and love it. I just got the 3/8th Hellraizer and its a great finesse top water. Ghost Shad and Scaly Shad have been the two ive tried.

[@kunkothan]

Was very entertaining to see you out of the kayak hunting smallies in culverts, cheers

[@lstepinski]

Fantastic as always, bedder dan Saturday morning cartoons. That concrete pad looks mighty steep, one false move or one misstep and you get a chance to see how cold that water really is. But as usual you handle the obstacles with ease. You've set the bar mighty high for bass fishing videos, keep it up Matt.

[@ndyakangler]

I dropped my phone there about this time last year and it bounced down that slanted concrete into the river. At least it was warm that day and the swim wasn’t too bad!

[@anthonyhoffmann543]

Thank you!

I started putting some rods up for the season. I still keep 6 or 7 in my truck though.

[@Elroy5150]

Another Fantastic Video!

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

The smallie that shook your bait to get off probably happened because you were probably letting it tire itself out too much or too long. Smallies will shake like crazy while fighting to resist the pull. As usual, another fantastic video today. ❤

[@glockholliday7490]

Thanks for getting out

Thanks for introducing me to this lure; pretty nice and elastech type material - But works wonders!

Love all your videos and find them entertaining and exciting. Your narration is excellent. Don’t know if you have ever been told this but your voice sounds just like Victor Davis Hanson who is a professor and political commentator. Thanks for all the cool videos. I have just recently become obsessed with fishing. Fishing has become something my husband and I love doing together.

Great vid as always hope to see some more pike/ musky vids as it should be getting colder. (Viewer from England)

[@mikecollins2476]

I like how that's like a bfs setup but not an actual bfs setup. I might have to try that with one of my poles.

[@ndyakangler]

I use that setup a lot this time of year for throwing light jigs and plastics and weightless wacky worms. The combination of the Daiwa SV spool and running 15lb braid to a 12lb fluoro leader gets some great casting distance with those light lures and I don’t end up with a birds nest like I eventually would with spinning gear and reeling a somewhat slack line.

[@mikecollins2476]

@@ndyakangler yea sometimes I forget how fun light line is. I put some 8lb copoly on my 4000 spinning reel and that thing casts as far as some of my baitcasters now and when you catch one you actually get to fight it a little bit. I bet it's a riot on a baitcaster.
