Fishing With Freddy The Frog!

Catching bass and pike with a Freddy the frog lure! This video consists of footage from three separate trips. I fished Freddy a few times and caught a nice fish or two each trip but never had a day where I really hammered them, so instead of deleting the footage I decided to compile them together for a quick video. A couple of these trips the wind picked up on me and the other was a hot sunny day so maybe not the best topwater conditions but it's an interesting lure I might have to try again some time!

I'm no religious man, but, god bless ya Matt for hangin' on to these summer gems all year!

[@cagedguitarist1208]

God bless you!

Hey man remember the only diff between an atheist and a Christian is someone who thinks the whole history of the universe happened spontaneously vs because of the influence of some higher power.

Nah, some understand where their breathe comes from, others are ignorant.

Cant get enough of these Saturday morning videos. 🎣Great way to start the morning.

[@NASPELTZ]

Another great adventure, thanks for taking us along!

[@69adrummer]

GREAT!! It's raining here and now I get to have another cup of coffee with a new video!! Gonna be a great weekend!!

[@octobersky64]

Great show today can't wait for it to open up my way tks for sharing😊

[@snakeeyes9246]

I'm jealous of these conditions. It's cold, rainy, and windy here in Connecticut today, so no fishing for me.

[@noahlaribee4216]

And everything is flooded with all this rain. Dying to hit the CT and Mattabassett river but it might be a while.

[@huskergator9479]

Freddy’s legs remind me of watching a muskrat’s locomotion. I’d eat it! Thanks for taking us along Matt! More excellence. I echo what another sub said earlier - thanks for saving some summer for us! I like that your winter content includes both hard water and spillway action but also summer stuff you saved for us. I wish you could catch carp without the requisite slaughter. That would be fun to watch.

[@ehinesdrum]

Thanks for talking about the knots and showing us. Great video as usually!

I never get tired of watching Matt cast. He is so accurate every time, even into tight spots.

The Bob Ross of fishing

😂😂 seriously

All he needs, is a curly head of hair like Bob's, and he's all set! 🤪😜🤪😜

[@KKFishing803]

So true lol

[@oppy2002]

We are fishing because that makes us happy...

[@rogermeyer5695]

I enjoy your fishing adventures. Makes me want a kayak

[@CatchReleaseRepeat]

Get one. You won't regret it.

[@bill944]

I bought one five years ago and haven't taken my bass boat out since.

[@htuckey]

Won't be long now, until we're out there with ya! Meanwhile, this way is worth the wait very week. Thanks again, Matt!

[@randallburgess46]

Always an honor to ride along with you on another great fishing adventure! You are the only and best fishing channel there is in my opinion.

[@brady8257]

Last time I was this early I had time to fish for myself instead of living vicariously through KZbinrs.

[@eastonweston1015]

I was just imagining you dragging your kayak up on the stage of the bass masters classic with freddy the frog 🐸 lol your Mr Rogers interview on stage would be epic.

[@thomas77597]

Definitely getting one of these. Love the hook setup. I feel like I lose too many fish the way the double hook is setup on traditional rubber frogs.

[@jkylel7401]

As an avid fly fisherman, I got my start fishing for trout and salmon in Anchorage and the on Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, years and years of short seasons and great stories for each one, but I can honestly say that after moving and fishing other states that Smallies are by far the absolute best target fish. Day's of catching 15" to 18" smalls, is what I want in my retirement. Thank you for all the great content you share with us. Best wishes on another phenomenal season of NDYakAngler!

[@tpor1206]

Awesome video again! Makes me excited for this bass fishing this summer at the cottage👍👍👍👍

[@the2060ish]

Another one from the save Vault . Way to short fish Whisperer.👍🐟🦈

[@DanKoning777]

Well done Freddy-I mean Matt 👍 Thanks for the "montage fishing trip." God bless.

[@christinerogers5331]

Another great video, Matt, on Saturday, catching some nice smallies and pike, it just doesn't get any better than that! Take care and be safe!

[@Dave-gm8yn]

Pretty good pulls on some fish for just running the frog.... That would be a day that I'd be happy with anytime

[@christopherch7307]

Danger thin ice deep water.... summer ice is the worst. 👍🐿👍

[@RobisonRacing68]

Holy hell! He used the temporal time machine to go three months into the future! LOL If I was a fish, I'd bite Freddie.

[@tripplebeards3427]

Yeah, I’m guessing it was last year’s video. Just getting posted now.

[@northernbassalliance1442]

Rivers gonnabe lowthis yr! Drove over it yesterday and couldnt believe how low it was off the hwy.

[@checkmatekingtwothisiswhit7685]

Nice trip, thanks.

[@UdontKnow8]

Leggo with the Smallies!! Your should do a live video!

[@7Kustom]

Howdy everyone! Best video intro ever!!! I always look forward to hearing you start your videos with the best greeting “Howdy everyone!” Thank you for the great videos!!!

[@roysaari3028]

Thanks, Matt!!! You could catch fish with a Mountain Dew can I think!!!😂👍🏆

[@steeveejee4647]

"any day on the river is a good day" truer words have never been spoken especially when your fishing and catching some decent pike

[@marjorieallen1250]

You do a great job with your videos really great watching top water. Thanks Bruce

[@TipoftheHook]

I enjoyed it for sure, thank you for bringing us along🤩👍💯! Awesome action, amaized how calm you are! Keep them videos coming! Got here new subscriber fisherman all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐

[@jayt825]

You gotta do a best of 2023.

[@katiewitt1029]

You’re like the Bob Ross of fishing. 😊 love watching your videos.

[@matthewstrader5028]

Not a single negative comment on this channel. A testament to this dudes awesome vibes. Watching these videos is therapeutic lol

[@roberthowe5315]

Thanks for another good video and keeping it real sometimes it's more about the experience than the fish caught stay safe out there my friend

[@gustavmadsen5169]

Always a pleasure to come along. If you haven't tried it before you should give Westin swim a try it's an amazing simple long lasting lure for pike you can get it in 10-12cm 31-54gram the lure has a nice gliding action with a steady retrieve. Without question the lure me and my friends caught most fish on, would love to see it in action on some smallies 🤞

[@VietbogVet]

All hail the FROG

[@d-routdoors9055]

Thank you Matt for that quick knot tip. I’ll be using that one here and there. I know a few other knots as well. I like your videos. Keep up the great work. Daniel 🙂

[@casualangler576]

Good stuff man, going to do some bed fishing today hopefully I can catch some fish👍🏻

[@myran5317]

Of course it is a good bait, It's from Sweden. Or at least the brand original was from here, started with Ingvar Westin from Gävle back in the 50's who made a famous wobbler called Westins Jätte (giant in eng), still one of the best bait for big pikes, great slow roling action.

[@BenBlankenshipvo]

Amazingly beautiful fish on this trip! TY for sharing.

[@Bellasguy]

Freddy the Frogs greatest hits

[@robinjeffryes2575]

Nice job Rob from California.

[@badlyniceness2315]

All in..I know we gonna get a bunch..

[@carldowning3359]

Finally going out fishing tomorrow , the wind here in Iowa has been horrible the past couple weeks . This channel has kept me from going nuts this last winter .

[@jlmize1507]

That first Freddy the Frog fish was an absolute beauty! Great way to start, indeed. Thanks for all your content, Bruh. I learn from you. Gonna be looking for Freddy. TLF

[@mikepollock8295]

Great video Matt really enjoyable and nice catches! Thanks for taking us along! Take Care and see you next time!

[@mo2214]

Have you ever tried going barbless? Also nice to know how far are your longer casts?

[@STONERCREEK1]

11 minutes of fishing is just a painful tease to me! I'd love to see Matt include us on a Live feed fishing trip one day. Catching fish or not it would be a very enjoyable outing to watch.

[@jamesberreth7171]

Now this is an idea with potential!

[@STONERCREEK1]

@@jamesberreth7171 Thanks, I may shoot him an email and suggest it. I think alot of us would definitely enjoy it.

[@brianathern9154]

Appreciate you putting this compilation of Freddy the Frog 🐸 as an equal opportunity multi species weapon. I'd have taken a swipe at the feog if he ventured into my territory. Unless you've been around shooting footage for a fishing show sometimes it gets lost in the effort put in. Many thanks for taking us along Matt. Blessings

[@garym2293]

So pretty there awesome catches brother!!! Cheers!! :))

[@jeffreyhooper5941]

Thank you for all your hard work in your videos

[@derekpych9792]

Great catch

[@ColtonWilson3000]

This lure with a wire leader, and slow troll it close to the bank would absolutely slay pike up here I imagine. I’m going to try it. Nice video, thanks for posting

[@geordiejones2]

Great clip, amazing Lure, seen frog ones before but this is the business.

[@bassman8144]

Figures, partly sunny and in 65-70 degree range all week and when the weekend hits nothing but rain and 40’s🤬At least I got this to keep me focused that it’s right around the corner😁

[@fishingwithhouse]

Another great video ! Nice catches too! I'll have to try my Academy brand wake frog tomorrow. Stay safe !

[@markg1490]

Great video. I have always wanted to catch a pike but they don't live in Oregon. Thank you for sharing

[@dougmccoy1260]

What is now called a...pike minnow.. in Oregon, was called a squawfish, from the chub family, at least it looks like a big chub. I live in Oregon now and am not aware of any....Northern Pike here.

[@nathantyson5265]

I remember you talking about your net in the last video- the savage gear rubberised net is really good. I used it for all my pike fishing. Great big net that folds in half with extendable handle. Super strong. And good for big fish

[@nathantyson5265]

Savage gear pro folding rubber large mesh landing net

[@Petrolhead99999]

Here in Northern Kansas it's juuust warm enough for bass to be in either prespawn or spawn. They're pushed up in the shallows. Caught my first one of the year about a week ago, and then caught 6 more over the course of this week. Leaving my house after I watch this video to hopefully get a couple more. Stoked for bass season, I really haven't figured out the winter fish pattern.

[@shanesnell1049]

I hate nothing more in bass fishing than, the fish splashing my face on the release. What I love about your videos is the difference in how the two species of bass react to release. The largemouth are borderline almost chill about it. The smallmouth seem to be out for vengeance. The kick up so more water at you. I find it amusing.

[@25Patman]

Fantastic videos man. Glad I found your channel.

[@GabeG0esFishing]

I don’t know how you don’t have a million subs bro. You are the best fishing yt channel. Keep up the good work man🎉🎉😁✌️

[@Williamfishing34]

Nothing better then ordering food and seeing a new video

[@harrygrimley4352]

Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@user-ifishoften]

Any time you want to compile a "greatest hits" on a particular lure I'll be watching it. It pumps me up for Spring.

[@The1withlogic]

The only thing that could make this video better is if it was in VR. Absolutely the most relaxing videos on the tube.

[@wecomeinpeace5082]

The first one gave ya a nice departing splash haha. Great fish

[@Twangtown7]

Trilene knot is the best. I use it for mono and fluoro. Braid gets a polomar.

[@MartinKok-gy7hf]

Great fishing mate Thanks for sharing👍

[@patrickhartman6818]

Im 64 it would take me 2 minutes to get the line through the eye of the hook. Lol

[@freshram192]

Great videos..... looking to get in to Kayak fishing, what ate your thoughts on the Lifetime Yukon Angler 116 Kayak to start?

[@heinerkorte6843]

Every day on the river is a good day 😃👍👍👍

[@paulmanzone8373]

Hey Matt, I'll go out on the river any day with you brother! Even with no fish it would be a pleasure!

[@Krazy_KZs_Garage]

Freddy’s got great action. Pike thought he tasted like chicken though. Loved the smallmouths you pulled in. Nice vid.

[@markgero5645]

Wont ya be, my neighbor.. awesome video..

[@dhurt8955]

Man! You are a great fisherman. Love the videos

[@ironmikebassmaster3252]

Very nice compilation Matt, I think you should do that more often when they're not biting so cooperatively😂, nothing wrong with some variety!

[@jjhill001]

The action on that is pretty solid. For fish to bite, not so much for pretending its a frog.

[@skydiver6711]

Fantastic video. Thanks.

[@STONERCREEK1]

Matt, do a LIVE FEED fishing trip for us one weekend! Alot of us would definitely watch even if they weren't biting.

[@andybales7318]

As a serious lure junkie, of course i have a few Freddy's...including the big size, which is pretty big! No doubt a big bass would find it simply delicious 😂

[@FishingCorner-maszo]

Nicely filmed...👍 these basses must be strong fish :)

[@piszmaile9572]

Awesome video 😮 please send another video with Freddy the frog. You may help others equip themselves with the best baits! 😊

[@appalachianbushcraft3959]

Try the Double Pitzen or San Diego Jam knots, i have never broken one. Switched after years of using the Palamar Knot and breaking on hooksets a few times a year. Seriously try them I bet you won't go back....

[@Gman737e]

Great video, wonderful content, thanks

[@Patricklane37]

love the videos matt keep up the good work

[@guyh.4121]

Nothing better than top water fishing.

[@kierra_mist]

I caught a 900 pound pike yesterday ❤good catch Jon and I’m looking forward to seeing more

[@durrantalan]

Congratulations. And I just ran a sub 3 second 100 metres…

[@romankuznesov1921]

It would be great if you could fry some of these fish somewhere on the shore!

[@user-yl9yl6mr9x]

Dude you are living the dream life! Great video!

[@TJMonster51]

I have two of those. Got them at a store closing for $15 a piece. I have yet to open them. Had them for 2 years.

[@heavenbound358]

How many starts fo you get?? Lol 😮

[@miguelvelez8802]

Jimmy Rigz does awesome work.

[@jon8than]

The first time I unboxed the biggest Freddy the frog from mtb, I went to the lake casted a few out there , then it broke off during a cast and was sent a distance away from me on shore. So the next day I went down the lake and there it was Freddy washed up too shore. Not a cheap lure.

[@SumDood1]

Westin makes a prop lure called the Spot-on Twin Turbo that you should try out.

[@ub6ilb975]

Great Video!

[@AshleyOfficialWilson]

I guess Freddy the frog needs to up his game if he wants to impress those bass and pike! 🐸🎣
