Fishing for SUCKERS!

My parents show me their secret spot for sucker fishing that is only good for 2 weeks out of the year. They use the meat for canning and smoking. I just go along to do a little catch and release.

Very nice to see your parents. I know they are good people because of the son they have raised. Thanks for sharing your afternoon with us. I could watch a video of you painting your house and I would still enjoy it. Your fun laid back personality makes people feel good and it’s no wonder your channel has exploded. With all the garbage on tv and the internet, it’s really great to see a young man like yourself, producing wholesome and uplifting videos. Carry on Posa, you’re doing a great job!

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

Amen

[@lauraweiss7875]

Monty loves grandma!

[@bobbijolancaster]

Nice being able to meet Momma and Poppa Posa. Monty was even sweet enough to give your momma some love.

[@barbaraurban9824]

When the picture of the stream popped up, I had dejavu. I thought of the pond my Dad would take me to in my preteen years. Although we lived in the city, a 45 min walk/hike brought us to a wood area the kids used for swimming and fishing. One day I caught a bullhead and wanted to bring it home to show my mother. I carried it home in the brown paper bag that we had brought our lunch in. It spent a few hours swimming in the bath tub until my mom came home. Those little hikes and fishing with Dad are some of my best memories. I realize now how great it was to be Daddy's little girl. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your relationship with your parents.

[@jpwhiddon]

So nice to see family in your videos. I buy $20.00 polarized sunglasses. My husband used to call them fishing sunglasses, they had some famous fisherman's name on them. Same type that I buy to this day, just different brand I was amazed at the ability to see the fish in the water.

[@colleenfreestone3049]

hi mum and dad ,u have a great son and daughter inlaw and the boys ,its so nice to see your dad can still teach u things at your age

[@marthaneuhauser1019]

It was nice that you introduced your ma & pa, but really didn't see there faces. I have always enjoyed it when you show underwater videos, that's really cool!!!! By the way I think Monty is very happy to see your mom! Don't know about your dad, lol! This was a fun video for a week day, surprised me!!!! Thanks so much, I can never get enough of watching you all. So enjoy the rest of your week, look forward to Sunday. U and all your loved ones be safe!!!!

[@melindapaterson5459]

I saw your name and was so excited that you had a video in the middle of the week!!! So cool hanging with your parents! Love from Maine ❤️

[@mich4808]

Your mum and dad are so cute ❤ no wonder your a great human!!! Give Monty a scratch behind his ears of me!! I died when you were messing with the lips 🤣🤣🤣

[@Over60sowhat]

I absolutely loved seeing your Mom and Dad! Your Dad's instructions were just so wonderful to hear! I've been wondering how amazing your parents must be to make such a strong, patient, inquisitive, persistent, smart, capable son! They should do instructional videos on how to raise children, for sure!

[@naturegirl8248]

It's so nice to get a midweek video to watch before work! It's nice to see your lovely parents out there with you! I ate my first catfish ever last week because I had a stigma against eating bottom feeders, but I'm glad I did because it was good! I love fishing, hunting, and camping as well! It's so therapeutic! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@mikobushwacking]

Happy New Month!!!!!!!!!!!

[@naturegirl8248]

Happy New Month!😊

[@ginaallen3797]

I grew up fishing on Crooked Creek and the Buffalo River in the small mountains of NW Arkansas. Started fishing when i was 4 and fishing the creek by myself when i was 5. Have caught many many many suckers, carp, Smallmouth bass and perch of all kinds on the creeks and rivers around my home. Your parents are cool and have done a fine job rearing an awesome human.

[@rd-yp8zf]

Heck yeah - fishing video ! That's what i'm talking about, glad to see Monty inspecting the catch before its released. ha ha ha ha Terrific video!!

[@chrisdemerest2628]

A mid week video, what a nice surprise. Nice to meet the parents. The underwater footage was cool. Can't believe you've never been sucker fishing before. We always fished the rivers and streams in the spring in sw Michigan, never knew what you might catch. We also used to walk the creeks at night with a lantern and spear them. Brings back memories. Thanks for another great video.

[@donpattycummings4037]

Its so good to see you guys..and yeah granny was getting lots of Monty loves ...you started to end the show and I'm like what! Aww man ...where did he go..he didn't show monty before it was over...then that last part with our fluffy boy 😍💝 I was like ok I got to see him a little more..

[@kunneman]

Uh oh... A surprise upload 😊 Wasn't expecting it. Your parents are gold! 🤗

[@marie-chantaledupont817]

How nice to see a video with your parents! Great job! What a nice family outing. Thank you for sharing (un grand merci)!

[@bugs1402]

Every video you always seem to make me laugh

[@scottroberts7875]

Midweek fishing vid, that's just Ace Matt , and Sir Monty... thanks for sharing... And you have super cool folks Matt..

[@karonmccree7641]

You raised a marvelous son. Sending Blessings

[@V0460-i6w]

Love this video Matthew with your mum and dad and it so funny when you did that VoiceOver with the fish when you made it speak loved it 🎣

[@Judgement24]

Your mom and dad! How sweet! Love it! Your dad must’ve been sweet to you as you are to Monty.

[@marynelson4626]

Good morning Matthew! Such a nice video! Thank you for including us on the fishing trip with your parents! They were a delight! Also, I believe I have seen a KZbin first where you hand feed a Fish! I believe that fish spit the worm out when you released him! The nerve!

[@jonfox1919]

Does anyone else notice how amazing the audio quality is on these videos?

[@ranchothedog]

Looks like you had a great time out with your parents :) Loved the underwater footage 💛💛💛

[@Melisazc461]

😍 Family!!! 😍 Awesome...dad is an excellent instructor. Great job. 🤩🤩

[@MatthewPosa]

:D

[@Vilaeryn]

What a surprise, a Wednesday video!! It was nice to see you fishing with your parents! The fishing looks like a lot of fun!

[@bernadettelouise5735]

Lovely to see your mum and dad with you today Matthew fishing ;)

[@kelbystewart1873]

Love the video!! It is the Matt 👦& Monty 🐕 pre midweek show live on NBC 🎶🎵🎙featuring Mr. & Mrs. Possa teaching us about sucker fishing 🐟🐟🐟....

[@sureyyagulaybesertv3654]

Your parents are so young. And your mom is Beautiful 💕

[@craigrock8444]

Oh cool! That's what I'm waiting for right now!! The sucker run!! Been doing it since I was a kid! Its always the first fishing action of the year up here for open water and a great way to satisfy that itch! They are great smoked and canned/pickled!! I have tried pan frying them like a walleye..not so hot! Lol..but edible. Very cool bud!

[@anitab.n3850]

Nice to see your mom and dad (aka Monty's grandparents) :)

[@cherylt8590]

Nothing like a hump day video lol loved it😆👍🐟🐠🐡😊...

[@pemghustlewomanlife6425]

Awesome! I used to go fishing with my parents also. My mom wasn't so much a Fisher woman, but, my dad and I always. ALWAYS THUMBS UP👍❤🙏 Hello Monte❤

[@danielmardtrading5757]

Awesome Matthew ! Very nice of You to fish with Your parents, and nice of them too of course to hang on !! Take care ! #Dannesurvive

[@jimmymiller742]

Your dad is a very smart man, he's a GBP fan. GO PACK GO.

[@sirprepsalot6268]

That is pretty cool that you bought Mom and Dad into the Video, Monty is hanging with them LOL. I was like, "Naaaa, he doesn't post until Sunday; KZbin error." Guess I was wrong, THANKS FOR THE POST!

[@redahamdorf5086]

What a beautiful family ❤️

[@honagriffin861]

😁 I'm not sad no more !!! You heard me !!!! And I met mom 👱and 🕵 pop ! So awesome ! 🐟

[@chriscmoor]

Interesting to see you fishing for suckers during the spring run. Where I grew up in Tennessee, we would head to the creeks as soon as the dogwoods started blooming and gig suckers. They were often, without exaggeration, as big as your leg. I always loved sucker gigging. The only downside was they have a lot of small bones.

[@VisionAssoc]

Oh yeah, what a treat, a mid week video from Monty and his human 😜

[@LittleBird777]

Lovely fishing spot Matt, great to meet your folks too, nice to see Monty helping as always, keep up the great videos

[@bigda2820]

Great to see you had your folks in this video! Got to love sucker fishing

[@tattoo79rg]

Great vid . Family time is the best. Not many people are fortunate to get to spend time with both parents . Great memories . Hi monty

[@janethartwig774]

Great video. Really enjoyed seeing your parents and the talking no teeth sucker fish. This popped up in my feed two days ago but I thought it was an old one. So glad I opened it today. A Posa mid week video is such a treat.💞

[@janey6921]

I was having a bad day and seeing this notification was a nice surprise and has cheered me up. Thanks Matt! :)

[@MatthewPosa]

You're welcome! :D

[@denisequinn4857]

Your family are tall and you are a good fisherman.

[@richardthornton7518]

When a kid in Sheboygan Wisconsin in the 1950s we always looked forward to the Lake Michigan Lake Sucker run up the Sheboygan River usually during March. Lake suckers are big and suckers though a bit "boney" are good eating out of cold water. Later when the river turns warm and muddy, forget it!!

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

Monty's grandparents! And Mr Posa you do not suck at sucker fishing. After only 12 minutes you have already caught 189 of us suckers!

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

115K subs - you can catch us suckers with your corny jokes big time. :-)

[@fop6033]

Love that little spot! Reminds me of my spot on the Green River in WA.

[@dewainsullivan4074]

I fished for sucker in Omer, at the sucker fest for lots of years, love seeing you do that

[@davidc4233]

My Dad grew up in Great Depression and ate those and carp and all kinds of stuff.....he fished like crazy all his life and loved bass fishing for fun. But the only thing we ate were bluegill, perch and spring crappie. Dad passed in 2000 and sure wish I had one more day to fish with him again.

[@juliethornborough2541]

Yeahhhhhh 2 in a week ! My week is now complete , what a surprise ❤️❤️❤️

[@aliceg9571]

Looked like everybody had fun. Don’t blame you not telling anybody about that spot. What cool parents you have. Giving up a secret fishing spot and didn’t mind getting on KZbin. Can’t wait to see your next overnighter. Be bug prepared. Maybe give that mosquito lantern a try again.

[@zachcarney3910]

Woohoo shorter video! Just wanna mention while I absolutely love that I've found this channel of your adventures its really difficult for me to watch the long ones this time of year because I'm out doing my own adventures. If you find a little drop in views during summer months cause of guys like me this shorter video definitely lured me in to see what you've been up to! Have fun out there.

[@MatthewPosa]

No worries! There is usually a large drop in views simply because most want to see winter camping! That's okay. I'll always be here weekly!

[@leannexplores3272]

Surprised us with a mid-week video!!! Awesome suckers! I never knew that they got that big! I caught some a few weeks ago and being used to the tiny ones I catch in small creeks every once and awhile... they were huge!!! Blew my mind!!! Thanks for the surprise video!

[@MatthewPosa]

You're welcome!

[@lifeonpamela]

Fun video Matt! Nice sharing your parents with the subs!

[@youngbunt]

Wow that Pike hit and wow on feeding the fish :)

[@craiglawrence9104]

Even you can make fishing fun to watch 🤣🤣

[@afhevh]

Instant thumbs up for your dad’s Packers cap.

[@tdalloutdoors4293]

Classic! Mom and Dad Posa!

[@Nov111805]

HEY! HEY! I caught my share of suckers and always throw them back........down state here (St. Clair river area) you can get them easily. Now, if that were a walleye? Oh ya! THOSE I would keep! YUM! Nice to see ya get some good fishin' in young Mr. Posa.......and nice to see the "folks" as well. A shout out to Funk "the lovely and patient"!

[@MatthewPosa]

Same. Love walleye. They almost look like walleye!

[@brandad101]

that looks like so much fun. they look funny when you make them talk haha. I wish there was a place to catch fish in Chicago. I got to get out of this city

[@SuperOreoDog66]

"Why'd you catch me? Why? Let me go. Please." That made me die laughing 😁

[@MHarenArt]

That was fun! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@jimhurley714]

[@AmbientOdyssey]

What a nice mid-week surprise!

[@OutdoorSerenity77]

Looked fun man. Reminded me of creek chud fishing when I was a kid. Not monster fish, but a blast to catch. Outdoors with the family is always a blessing also. Stay safe and good adventures!

[@lyn2146]

Glad to see a video after driving home in slush. Waking up to snow May 1st is never fun.

[@strawberrymilk1683]

Hey matt! ive been stuck in the hospital for 2 weeks. just got out. at least i get to sorta binge what i missed from you! best wishes to the entire fam!

[@MatthewPosa]

Ouch! Hope everything turned out okay!

[@luke5767]

Would love to see a follow up video about the smoking and canning....... and the eating of course.

[@felisha9406]

Really enjoyed this. I was surprised since it’s the middle of the week but thankful.

[@kristopherjones9495]

Great video bro. BTW for the one strike fire I would go hard and slow for the first half to build up shards and then fast on the second half of the strike to spark it. Keep up the great videos mate ✌️

[@shimmyshamm]

Monte loves the Madre

[@jimscardino2603]

Oh yeah, keep that spot secret! With the nice sandy bottom looks like a good swimming spot!

[@iship9705]

Mom and Dad you did a good job raising Matthew

[@jakecade8857]

Surprise upload. You are the man Matthew! Love the videos.

[@BC_Outside]

Love this. You have parents? ! I thought there was just a Funk!

[@MatthewPosa]

Hahaha!

[@hermit6208]

Nope. He's a genetic amalgamation of Chris Pratt and Ray Mears.

[@PRTTYBTTRFLY1]

Hi to your Mom & Dad & Monty my first fish was a Sucker it was a big boy I was 12 years old at the time

[@Minnesotacoffeetrails]

Hi Matt's Mom & Dad, Matt & Monty. Monty does love your Mom! Great unexpected video. Nice fishin spot! Where did you say it is? LOL

[@MatthewPosa]

It is located somewhere between the north pole and the south pole. To be exact.

Congratulations, my friend, beautiful Fish. Hug and good Fishing.👍🎣

[@noahlytle2847]

Yay!! A middle of the week video. What's your dads secret to smoking them? I tried smoking fish but can't keep them lit.

[@MatthewPosa]

Hahaha!

[@susanesguerra7999]

Nice to see your videos again☘️☘️☘️

[@Nnsk470]

Oh Snap, sucka fishin with sir Monte of fluff butt.

[@daneosier9089]

Hey Posa, nice video. My mom was born in Merriweather Michigan in her grandmothers house right on the shore of Lake Gogebic. Her dad as a logger and ran out of work on the UP so they packed up and moved to North Idaho. We still have a lot of family in Michigan and my grandparents went back to visit every year. One year they brought back some smoked sucker, I was raised on smoked trout and landlocked salmon so I wasn’t impressed. It tasted to muddy for me. My family swares by it though. Here in lake Pend Orielle we get big ole suckers three feet long, nobody fishes them. Trout, bass, walleye, and Kokanee Salmon are the focus. Fish on

[@MatthewPosa]

I do it mostly for fun. I prefer the same fish!

[@matthewprestine1974]

Wife is a Yooper, sure love it up there. We have a place by Alvin WI, couple hours south of Marquette.

[@arliss123]

Those pooty puckery fish lips! I think he spat out your offering Matt! LOL Nice to see momma & poppa Posa!

[@KingDennisJensen]

We actually caught 3 of them a couple weeks ago and made a fish stew. (We were hoping for channel catfish but no luck) They're pretty good when prepared properly :D

[@awesomemcnuggietittsschalk4313]
