What other fishing KZbinr would admit to 15hours and 3 different spots of being skunked...props man That's why I love this channel, real dude

[@jakegray1113]

Thought the same. Best fishing KZbin

[@johnrickards1908]

What is meaning of "props" please. Is not things on stage for actors or push thing on boat engine no?

[@SludgeEater]

@@johnrickards1908 it is just American English slang. it basically just means to give credit or recognition to someone.

[@adrianladniak1599]

Better than therapy

[@MichiganVetAngler]

Agreed and less expensive

It is therapy 😊

[@beardieloves]

Honestly

[@liamstrain]

Hearing that even you can get skunked after a dozen hours on the water makes me feel a lot better about my own fishing. ;) Another great video!

[@dtacc8805]

Same here! I often gotta remind myself that the videos are edited, and they aren’t catching like 5 fish in 20 minutes every video

[@WE_WUZ]

I have spots I fish where it's on fire one morning and I'm hooking into smallmouth topwater every few casts. Then I go back the following week and the water levels have changed from rain, temps different. I'll get nothing. Sometimes it's just right place, right time.

Hi

[@hanburgundy4317]

For real. Even on the magical stocked private ponds he fishes on, even Jimmy Houston says he gets skunked. If the fish aren't there or they aren't hungry or being too lazy to react to trigger presentations, you're not catching em.

[@billsmith5166]

I just found you and I've been binge watching. I've got to say I've never found a fishing show like yours. Of the many, MANY that I've watched, I've never seen one that makes me feel like I'm the guy fishing as much as yours, though you're WAY more organized than I am. Thanks for all your efforts! Have a great fourth.

Caught my PB bass today 19.5" 4lbs9oz and now I get to come home and watch Ndyakangler?? Truly a FANTASTIC day!!

[@phils6733]

Hearing you going fish less for 3 days strait was a shocker, thanks for letting us know about it! I’m sure it makes us all feel a little better about our own fishing. It happens to all of us at some point. Always love and enjoy your videos buddy. You leaned me towards catching pike…such a fun fish to fight with.

[@highnoon116]

I have a Hobie Compass as well. I use it freshwater & inshore saltwater fishing for reds and trout. Moves right along even in rough waves. Stays on top and tracks well. Make sure your pedal drive has a detachable safety cord attached. Thanks for taking us along! High Noon

[@ndyakangler]

That’s one thing I notice is how well it does in the chop one of the times I took it out earlier this year.

[@AndreHansen82]

Nice video once again👍 I'm from Denmark, so I love pikefishing. I got my current pb pike on a chatterbait. 102 cm and 6,8 kg🐊 (40 inches. 15 pounds)

[@jetta5267]

Sounds like a nice pike!

[@thelaughingtiger146]

I don't fish, but love your channel. You rock, average dude with skills! The Bob Ross of fishing. Lol

[@AvocatDude]

Gotta say, what I typically enjoy about this channel is the quiet serenity of where he fishes… just not feelin this one with all the traffic noise. Reflection of the clouds on the water is beautiful though.

[@ndyakangler]

I'm kind of surprised you're the first one that really mentioned it, while I was editing the audio I was expecting I'd get a ton of complaints about the traffic noise. I prefer the quieter spots myself but I've been striking out at a lot of those lately. It was a harsh winter and a lot of smaller lakes experienced winterkill. I had success finding some bass at one out of a half dozen spots I tried last week at a quiet little spot.

[@davidc9906]

Found your videos a month or so ago. Love how calming you make it appear, interspersed with excitement when a big one hits. You inspired me to try kayak fishing. Saw a kayak at DSG that was on sale and bought it. Its going to be a process for all the gear, but found one of your old videos on setup, so I know what to get. Thank You!

[@joshrobertphotography]

Absolutely love this type of day! Beautiful fish and reflection on the water. You're videos are my favorite to binge. Have a good 4th!

[@WE_WUZ]

Just found your channel after catching my PD pike. I kayak fish and have bass and walleye nailed down pretty good. But pike always skunk me. So I tried a Chatterbait like yours except chartreuse. Immediately caught 3 'hammer-handle' ones, perfect for pickling. Heading in, I jigged it off the bottom just messing around and hooked into a 38" TANK. Hook popped out the second it was landed. That monster got carefully revived and released. I'm sold on using a Chatterbait for pike.

[@ndyakangler]

That’s awesome congrats! The chatter bait has saved me from getting skunked many times!

[@lstepinski]

I never thought to bounce a chatterbait off the bottom. I've just done a straight retrieve with variations in speed and popping it. Thanks for that method.

[@Mike-lt6sj]

I always have and it does work alright.

[@unclepauly3205]

12:00 that’s gotta be the coolest thing. The trucker was tellin you “NICE FISH”

[@6412mars]

Always a pleasure going along..thanks

[@Bitchesgivehigh5s]

Love the Truck driver giving you a cheer. Dudes probably been driving for a few hours and comes up to see you land a nice fish.

[@markg1490]

Love your videos. It is a great way to start my weekend

[@scottsoucy6186]

I would gladly catch any of those "little" pike! Man, you get to fish some prime waters!

[@wbarney59]

Thanks. I don't know you but watching your videos is like seeing a friend again. One that knows how to fish!

[@josephabeytajosephabeyta9305]

So thankful that I wasn't the only guy that had his reel come detached during a session... outstanding job again

[@ndyakangler]

Totally preventable too, I noticed it was wiggling a little bit the previous fish.

[@jacksonyon5276]

Man pike fight like no other. Probably the game fish I have the most respect for

[@coloradohrfishinadventures6028]

No matter where you go, it looks like you have the waters all to yourself.!!! You must be in awe each and everyone time you go out 💪👍!!

[@ndyakangler]

I usually have a plan b and c spot within 10-20 miles of where I plan on going, in case someone beats me to one of those smaller spots.

[@coloradohrfishinadventures6028]

That makes sense for sure. When you are given the green light to fish, make sure there is a backup plan. 👍😎

[@coyakbrian3411]

Saved for Sunday morning coffee. Thanks for another adventure!

As always, Matt, I enjoyed spending time with you while you worked your magic on those pike. Keep up the great content, take care and be safe!

[@11Liljonny]

your videos are amazing, it's also extremely nice to have someone who lives up north like me, the fishing is different from all those other KZbinrs who live down south

[@ConnorLindeman]

Always a pleasure watching your videos each week. Thanks for posting your adventures.

[@TheRiverAddict]

The chatterbait has always been one of my favorite ways to catch bass and pike. I’ve never thought about popping it off the bottom though, always a straight retrieve. Will definitely be adding that into the arsenal, great video 👍

[@Cole.Outside]

After watching this video, I picked up the same chatterbait and some Keitech 4.8"silver/white swimbaits because they didn't stock the ones you used. I took them out with my 4yo son yesterday and had the best day pick fishing that I've ever had. We caught 5 in just an hour or so and had many more bites and fish get unhooked. Needless to say, he all he wants to catch is pike now! Thanks for the idea and awesome videos!

[@coltonthorpe7812]

With as hot and dry as this spring has been out by me, paired with a really warm winter, fishing has been reeeaaallllly slow. Good to see someone bringing some pile into the kayak at least.

[@TheHk1966]

I get totally blissed every time I watch one of your videos

[@SirensOfSEWI]

Those Zman chatter baits are some of my favorites for pike here in WI. I think people overlook them for ploppers and spinners, but that wobbling blade action/sound drives the pike crazy. Nice vid, thanks as always for the solid content!

[@jeffreystieve8017]

Nothing beats tight lines with feisty pike. Nice

[@k29-]

The clouds on the water are so beautiful.

[@brianathern9154]

Sometimes it takes a real cooker of a day to make a good video. Appreciate your honesty brother, we've all had a skunk day in there. Equipment/wardrobe malfunctions as we call them visit us plenty. I'm finding more and more where the reel seats come loose and I'm checking the reel a few times per trip. But pike or bass on the line makes it worth it. Blessings Matt

[@nick.smith616]

So happy to see you giving the chatterbait some love. I had an issue with hookup ratio. Try a med-heavy mod-fast if you're fishing braid. Rod loads up a little slower.

I live North of ya and been fishing the North dam in G. Forks. The last few weeks have been awesome a large variety of fish all in less than waist deep water. I've brought several limits of sauger, walleye all nice eating size. Anything over a couple lbs. i throw back. Most unique catch this year was a tagged sturgeon with a DNR MN. tag.

Бойкие молодые щуки! Класс!!! Спасибо за видео 💪🤝

[@mjhoss]

It's been tough on the west coast also. For me, 5 trips out with 2 fish total. Besides high water levels, the weather has been unusually cool and I think that is a factor to the fish not biting...their metabolism isn't where we expect it to be for this time of year. Glad to see they were biting for you, and hopefully the same will be occurring out west soon.

[@rileysmith2522]

But great video your a great inspiration to all of us I can’t wait to see your next video

[@fishkeeper8352]

love your videos man ! i just bought my first kayak just because you ! OldTown SportMan 120 ! Im from canada so i got a lot of spot for pike fishing !

[@mikecollins2476]

Awesome video Matt 👍 that's a good spot I have a couple spots like that where if you can fire them up it's non stop action. That's what I love about pike even if they miss it and feel the hook they will come back for it cause they're so aggressive. Probably one of the most under rated fish in America.

Very nice to see the pike hitting. Went to the 1000 islands for smallies about a week ago and was shocked to catch a very nice 30" fat pike on a ned rig. First, pike I caught in years. Like that new kayak btw. Just bought an Old Town 136 so looking forward to breaking it in.

[@roryvavra7856]

Crazy you posted this a bit ago... My nephew and I were out fishing with some chatter baits over the past weekend going for bass, well our day wasn't going the best so my nephew decided to start jigging the chatter bait just out desperation to catch something, well he did catch something and it was a small pike. It was the end of the day so we weren't able to get much effort on this technique. I get home and this video shows up in my feed, go figure 😂. We are definitely going to start jigging the chatter baits now where we know there are pike. Thanks for posting this and btw I love your videos and I love how you mentioned you were skunked for a combined 15 hours. After seeing your videos it's hard to think you have your bad days like we all do... 😆

[@t9056]

white chatterbait just like that is what i caught my only pike on ....i knew ur channel was gonna get big enough for u to get a pedal drive kayak... congrrats ... i have every lure u made a vid on lol
