I love the… sense of humor… in your occasional choice of bait.

[@theoutdoorhistorian]

I hope you’re safe from all that flooding happening in your region.

[@HugoPerk]

You, TyPigPatrol and Richard Gene are my favorite Saturday morning shows. All three of you fish because you absolutely love it. No thrills. No major sponsors. No clickbait. Just three men who love the sport of fishing. Thanks for the videos, Matt. ✌🏻

[@GIBBO4182]

Try The Ginger Fisherman as well 👍

[@smoochumsmcgee]

typigpatrol kinda pisses me off with how much he long arms his fish in the thumbnails, it’s so unnecessary bc he catches hogs all the time anyway. imo that’s some of the worst clickbait

Scum Frog forever. Best frogs ever made. Half the fun is making your own skirts for em! Get some bright red and green and lean into the gnome theme!

[@jmabs5096]

This is the next best thing when I'm being rained out, kick back on the lazy boy, beer in hand and kids are in bed! Cheers!❤

[@CODE-BROWN]

The way you release them is just lovely. Most of my releases are awkward and mainly because I shore fish. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@ndyakangler]

Yeah it’s tough to get a good release and keep your feet dry at the same time shore fishing! Even when I have good rocks to stand on it’s difficult.

[@WisGuy4]

What make and model net are you using? That looks to be the perfect size for kayak fishing.

[@fishingwithadhd]

can't wait to start catching them on top water!

[@christophershelton1735]

I love your videos sir. Keep them coming.

[@zacharyharbert3745]

15:07 check out the carp next to the boat

[@WisGuy4]

I have used Scum Frog lures for years and they are every bit as good or better than the ones that cost twice as much and have more realistic graphics. The recent trend of super premium lures, especially Japanese ones, that cost $20, $50 or $75 or more is absolutely ridiculous. The misplaced egos and vanities of fools who spend that much on lures will drive up the prices of more reasonably priced lures to the detriment of all anglers.

[@toddwilkinson621]

No kidding. Anything with "Musky" written on the package requires mortgaging the house these days too, and yet I've caught as many of those when just out throwing top water for bass over the years. Crazy prices nowadays, even plastics are rediculously priced.

[@maxxmann24]

sweet frogs im going to get a pack for my wall

[@MuffinStuffer_TV]

I know you've said it before but what knot is that you use?

[@andybales7318]

No pike in my areas, but if there were... NO WAY I'd throw any frogs, other than the cheapest ones like Ozark Trail..... if u see this...ever tried the zman Pop Shadz? I'm going to try them out next trip out...I like the idea & would hold up against pike much better....a profile the fish haven't seen...That "cotton" makes fishing with braid damn near impossible...u can pull it off easier with mono

[@ndyakangler]

I’ve had plenty of frogs destroyed by pike! I haven’t tried the pop shadz but I’ll have to check it out. I have a ton of new lures to try this year!

[@seanstevenson7592]

Honestly, I think you could throw a brick out there and catch a fish. You have a knack

[@northvectorbassin7133]

Long time follower.. Going to be at Detroit Lakes tomorrow.. Have any lakes, rivers recommendations for my first trip up for some smallies?

[@fliperotchy]

Did you ave an issue with the Scum Frogs landing upside down? Often mine will land upside down and since the body is so soft I get hooked into anything it lands on. Lily pads, grass, etc.

[@haisyburner5603]

I love scum frogs but there’s one frog with legs that flap kind of like a whopper plopper and it kills large mouth

[@rubenvillanueva6398]

What kind of knot do you tie?

In other words: STOP spending your money on high dollar “life like” lures. You can catch fish with unfinished wood if it has hooks in it.

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

I've gott say, I've been watching your channel for several years. And you still get some of the sickest top water eats ever. Good stuff, man!

YES ONE MORE CAST Here's a FISHING story for you. It seemed like every cast.I caught BASS Had such a good time. I did it for 18 and a 1/2 hours. I know this because my wife let me know when I got home. She was so proud of me. The whole neighborhood knew how proud of me she was.😅😅😅

I did the ole "one last cast" the other night with a Rapala Skitterpop, brown frog pattern....put a nice 5lb smallie in the boat. I was about to pack it in and head home, just had to take another shot at it. Funny how that happens so often. Next thing I knew, another hour had gone by. Lol

[@RO0T99]

As yes it's time to watch NDYakAngler to catch bigger fish than I've ever with a novelty lure

[@Tony-vk4gc]

If u like the big foot from scum frogs. The legs get ripped off a lot. Blitz frogs sell replace legs that fit the scum frog great. Just a small dab of glue

[@Smallmouthbass]

Bass season finally opened in Ontario last week and I got out! First time really using the choppo and wow did it work. Thx ND!!!

[@dougmccoy1260]

If that snapping turtle had actually gotten that frog, it would have been quite a show getting it back. Especially with all fingers intact. Take care and thank you.

[@toddwilkinson621]

I lost one of my favorite Storm Rattlin' Chug Bugs to a huge snapping turtle once. Accidentally landed it right in front of it and it slammed it, nearly ripping the rod out of my hands. Waited 20 minutes trying to see if it would let it go, but no dice....it finally got tired of messing around and just snapped off my Spider Wire braid like it was 4lb mono. Bye bye, Chug Bug, you served me well.

[@johndenver7035]

Another week, another 0 fish caught for JZ. He loves your channel though bud!

[@Hellp211]

Need to try some of those hustler store products an makea lure er in

[@chrisbuhneing3194]

It would not be fun if your did not have to work for them.

[@Hmm.223]

The thing i always find funny about most topwaters is that behind all the flash and charm, they nearly all have pretty much the same silhouette which is pretty much all that matters to the fish most days.

[@vinnycorso412]

I was throwing top water one day, no bites for over 2 hours. I threw the butt of my cigar in the water and a bass came up and inhaled it in a split second. Go figure

[@SpaceGhost-]

​@@vinnycorso412cool story, but throw your litter where it belongs.

[@vinnycorso412]

@@SpaceGhost- Cigars are tobacco. Tobacco is a plant. Plants come from the Earth. I put it right where it belongs

​@@SpaceGhost-a cigar is not litter, it's plant matter. A cigarette filter on the other hand is totally litter.

[@brianathern9154]

You're not wrong. I can't tell you how many times fish have come up to take a swipe when the topwater isn't doing anything but laying a silhouette. And cigars are pure tobacco....maybe work on some homemade baits that look like an,Alec Bradley or Macanudo 😅😅😅😅

A fan of your content and subscriber here. Just wondering why the segments are labeled after such horrible people that have committed some heinous crimes. Fishing is so fun and a great release from the world. Your videos are relaxing and fun.... Just wondering what the association of those killers with this is? Thx!

[@ndyakangler]

I have no idea what you’re talking about, unless some road kill and a garden gnome have committed some atrocities I wasn’t aware of. Maybe I’ll have to uncheck the automatic chapters box? I guess it’s possible KZbin is doing something weird with the auto chapters, they’ve done plenty of zero sense stuff in the past.

Cottonwoods blooming, the bass are biting. I don’t know how much “fluff” I’ve picked off my line and top waters in my life, but it’s worth it! I ordered the pliers and the frogs from your link…just to say thanks for the content.

[@the2060ish]

Trailer park lady in curlers. Good catch Nice time 24 mins. 🐸🐢👍🐟🐟🐟

[@AdvancedUSA]

When choosing a lure you have to know that fish have the IQ of, well, a fish. If it’s moving and they can see it AND they’re hungry, they’ll grab it.

[@PaulyMall]

I think it would be really cool if you posted an entire time out with any cuts. 2-3 hours of the whole experience

[@ndyakangler]

I might some time if I get out for an hour or two in the evening and have a good idea of where the fish are. It’s tough keeping camera discipline and not looking everywhere except at my lure when I’m trying to figure the fish out.

[@PaulyMall]

It may not do the numbers you want but even a skunk would be worth watching for me! It’s a part of fishing. Could pick your brain a bit about how you catch so many biggins lol. Thanks for the videos man you’re the best.

[@Rebellgentleman]

I can empathize with the CWFF (cotton wood fuzzy float) experienced in this video. I have a favorite lake in Michigan that I travel to a few times each year where this is a real issue. If there is a healthy breeze, it helps push this stuff to one end of the lake, but it is miserable if not impossible to fish with a buzz bait or a whopper plopper when this fuzzy stuff is on top of the surface!
