Goldfish Lure Fishing For A River BEAST!

[@Fatenarr]

Not gonna lie, your lure selections make these videos way more fun!

[@ndyakangler]

It’s always fun trying something different! Throwing lures the fish have probably never seen before can be a good thing too!

[@Brian-vd4mg]

NOT a $5000 kayak with $800 combo and $100 swim bait. Love that’s simple realistic stuff to catch beautiful giant fish all shot by a normal dude. Thanks for taking us all along.

[@TDMILESKI]

For sure! It’s about finding the fish, he’s proven that time and time again by catching them with all kinds of random lures like Lego figures, for example. He does also have a newer Hobie though, but this is his original kayak. I think he’s mentioned it’s a Tarpon 120. That combo is about $500+ though, reel is a Diawa Zilion ($400) And rod is $130. But he’s always caught fish, even on his older cheaper setups.

[@DakotaHorn-fv6kn]

​@@TDMILESKIAnd he is probably one of the better fisherman on KZbin....

[@Wading4Time]

The epitome of fishing. Quiet, peaceful and the occasional adrenaline rush from a top water smash. Truly enjoy your videos. No gimmicks, no music, no product placement other than what you personally use and none of the other rigamarole. Love it, man. By far the best fishing channel on KZbin.

[@shannonshepherd1565]

Word!

[@nathantyson5265]

This man's composure is admirable. Can have the most insane take close in and just stay calm, no screaming. So easy to watch and an absolute pleasure to be in the water with you as always 😁😊

One of the things I like most about your videos is you upload even the slow fishing days. That's the reality of fishing many times. Still enjoyable to get out though! 😊

[@essneaks]

What a lovely morning in the kayak! Good morning yak fam!!

[@kevinjtoner]

Your videos are easily the best on KZbin…….Thank you Matt!!! 👍🎣

[@MoMan.88]

I love how there is all the bass anglers out here talking about you need a $500 7’6 heavy for frogging and a $600 7’2 Medium Heavy for jigs, etc etc…. Meanwhile here is Matt on his kayak with a 6’6 medium heavy bass x catching big bass, pike, musky, and whatever other fish that swims in the waters he patrols on swimbaits, frogs, whopper poppers, jigs, you name it, all on the same rod for the most part, putting all them fancy livescoping elitist to shame lmao I love it, keep up the great work Matt‼️🎣

Driving through North Dakota now to a band gig and you posted. Thank you! We are near… Devils lake btw

[@Freakdog66]

Retired from drumming/touring in 2018. Staying close to home and fishing more is a beautiful thing. Drums equal pain.😂😂😂😂 good luck at gig.

[@sarahburesh]

Thanks! @@Freakdog66 That’s the truth though! 9 hours from Wisconsin. Have fun fishing!

[@MRRCGR5]

Your videos are excellent! I wish there were a fly fisherman out there who made just as great and entertaining videos!

Maybe one of these days I’ll try fly fishing!

Best fishing channel on KZbin. How you handled that first Musky that calmly, i dont know. always appreciate the non theatrics, just straight up relaxed fishing. not yelling GIANT every time some hits the line.

[@billsmith5166]

Nice fish. It always amazes me how you can land a fish like that on a kayak.

[@christinerogers5331]

Thanks, Matt, that was just a wonderful trek on the river that produced a really nice muskie, I enjoyed every moment! Take care and be safe.

[@roberthowe5315]

Beautiful day to be on the water and some action is better then no action tou stay safe out there buddy

[@ritawilliamson1394]

Hope you and yours are doing ok from the flooding and dam break keep you in our thoughts and prayers

[@droog2242]

Just got back from the Sheyenne and the river is way up. Bass were going for top water though. Great vid as always ND.

[@russellmadahbee8072]

That Pike was pissed off! :) thank you for sharing

[@tamastar24]

At my cabin in northern Wisconsin about to get some lines wet. Awesome vid as always!

[@stephenedavis7]

I just found your channel and I really love Topwater fishing. I am on disability now but this reminds me of leaving Mississippi filled with largemouth to fish in central Wisconsin with my late Father for bass, northerns, and muskies. I miss it a lot. The folks laughed at us going out fishing until they found out our large spinner baits we ordinarily used to bash fish with back home were great for catching northern and musky.

[@leeeck3866]

You are the only guy I know that could probably take a tomato paste can put a treble hook on it and catch fish. No matter what lure you have on you catch fish. Tight lines brother!

[@rayflynn7942]

Great action as always 👌 and don't beat me up over this ! just a wee bit on the short side!

[@Fishyflys-rg]

I’ve seen some people use like gold fish and small koi carp for live bait, seems wild a fish would eat something like that!

[@truebalsamhogs]

Thanks again for making yet another enjoyable fishing video to watch.

[@fishingwithscooter264]

The legend is back!

[@williambaker1753]

I'm really starting to like the segmented swimbaits and you can get them off temu really cheap I change the hooks and split rings on some of them the ones that come chrome plated some come with decent hooks and the action on them are great Bass and pickerel love them. And if I snag up and loose one it doesn't bother me like a more expensive bait.great video summer time is here the dog days are around the corner.

[@vafishing8296]

The way you land those fish on a kayak will always be impressive 🤜

[@captainackbar3097]

How does one fish this? I have the same thing but in a bass pattern.

You can steady retrieve it or I usually pull it back a foot or two at a time, pause, and repeat.

Just want to say you are my favourite KZbin channel to watch keep up the great videos I’m jealous tho on how many musky u catch 😂

[@denvercolorado811]

This is my favorite episode

[@APikeAnglersChronicles]

11:45 Not too uncommon that they wrap themselves in the line and the hook is somewhere around the dorsal fin when they make those impressive jumps. Fortunately getting hooked right around the dorsal fin area doesn't affect them much in the long run. I have re-captured pikes that I've hooked like that some time (hours to days) later and they manage well. Well, it's 5 am here, time to go out and catch some morning pikes before the water gets too warm and the pikes looses the apetite!

This goldfish pattern reminds me of the goldfish River2sea did about 15 years ago they were a very good bait I enjoyed throwing at chainpickerel

[@OttOutdoors]

So cool love watching your videos!

[@aprilgeneric8027]

after fishing the mississippi since the 80's drought i have learned when there is flooding the fish go tight to shore to take advantage of the abundance of new food to be had there.

[@kirkgorte128]

You had me at pike or muskie 👍

[@julesvanaardt5422]

Nice fish love your videos

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

Wnjoyed this video ghe night before a layak fishing trip.

[@ronaldkulas5748]

I have found that high water in a river makes fishing very difficult. Fish simply relate to different things. BTW: I used to fish the Red River near Grand Forks a lot 30 to 40 years ago, and I saw several Goldfish surface in the Red.

[@ericwakeman6665]

Great vid as usual thanks for taking us with you on this one. What knots do you use to connect the braid to 50 lb fluro?

[@ndyakangler]

I use a palomar at the lure first, then an albright at the braid.

[@christophershelton1735]

Looks like that short, medium action rod was throwing that heavy bait nicely

[@jgs1703]

I got a longer paddle and a rudder for my new fishing kayak and it works way better! Can you do a rapala floating lure video or a rapala countdown lure video? Perch color, black and gold, and trout.

[@jgs1703]

[@the2060ish]

14 min tease... Ha need to drop a video twice a week Now that its summer. Nice catch👏🦈🦈🦈

[@ndyakangler]

I was hoping I’d catch another fish or two to make the video a little longer! I had a decent pike follow the lure later too I almost added at the end but it was mostly three minutes of me not talking much trying to get the fish to take my lure with no payoff. I’ve got a couple longer bass fishing videos to edit for the next uploads though!

Yes, ND where I live doesn’t require it but I fish MN quite a bit where everything over 10’ needs to be registered.

[@kerbygator]

Great video. You got a good spot..

[@chadpinder6864]

Great video as always.

[@tubetrollin]

What kind of boots are those?

[@ndyakangler]

Astral Brewers, and I have some NRS neoprene socks I’ll wear with them sometimes to keep the sun and bugs off my ankles.

[@frostytrees609]

question for ndyak or anyone else really im trying to catch my first river musky and i want to know what the simplest or most effective lure is. i just want something that has a good chance of getting bit and is hard to mess up like technique wise, thanks

[@ndyakangler]

Something like a 130 Whopper Plopper is easy to fish and gets but if they’re hitting topwater. Otherwise the 8” Savage Gear 4Play has caught me more muskie and big pike than any other lure.

[@markreichel4908]

Love your videos,no good places like that in Ohio Would like to see you do an old school flatfish video sometime

[@timroot4207]

Thank you !!!

[@michaelmccormick1016]

Had me at “big ferocious river beasts”.

[@brendanbutkus2392]

Should try the 6th sense trace brother, im obsessed with that bait

[@randygreer8158]

I’ve had never seen anyone fish a jointed swim bait this way. Raising and lower the rid tip like a chatter bait retrieve…..Went to my lake with a jointed swim bait tied on. Tried this retrieve and caught 7 bass. Smallest one was 4.3 lbs and the largest was 6.13lbs….👀. Before this trip my jointed swim bait experience has been lack luster to say the least. THANKS!

[@ndyakangler]

The fish always seem to respond to a little pause on this river.

[@crawfishking7304]

Gotta try the umbrella rig at some point while the spawn is hot

[@jonathonmcrae5671]

Hey Matt! Could you do a video with the Mepps Syclops? I hear they are amazing for pike, and wanted to hear your thoughts! Thanks.

These go for $7.99 in most online fishing stores! Grabbed me one, like I always do when you show off a new lure lol.

[@chubbrock659]

As a former owner of many disposable goldfish through my youth, I can say that definitely looks like a legit goldfish in the water.

[@gustavosalazar7523]

I love your vids!

[@woogieman02]

Looks like an AWESOME river. Looks calm enough for my young son to kayak fish on with me..... Any hints to where it is? 😅 gotta ask

[@ndyakangler]

I keep the exact locations of most of these spots secret, but it’s just a backwater half oxbow type channel off the main river so there isn’t really any current going through there. You can find similar spots on many rivers though, oxbow channels, around islands, top sides of dams etc are usually slower water. I do usually have to deal with current a bit getting to those spots though. Where I was at here the water is moving pretty quick getting up there now and definitely not for inexperienced paddlers. I was quick getting my kayak loaded up at the start the other day so game and fish didn’t pull up and try to tell me to stay off the river lol.

[@woogieman02]

@ndyakangler I get keeping them secret for sure! Will have to get out do more scouting. Good heads up though!

[@Da93teg87]

Never clicked a video so fast

[@rayman7712]

This bait would be great in the Miami canals!

[@rybaroch292]

Great video as always 🔥 Isnt your leader a little bit short for fishing such fish like pike or musky?

[@MAMP]

“There are so many Muskie in my rivers that I can fish with a Lays chip wrapper and still catch them” 😂

[@yummygogolak]

What knot do you use to connect braid to 50# fluoro?

[@ndyakangler]

I use an Albright knot.

[@yummygogolak]

@@ndyakangler Thanks, I thought 50# flouro was too thik for that. I need to try it.

[@ndyakangler]

@@yummygogolak The palomar can be tricky with that thick of line but it’s do-able.

[@yummygogolak]

@@ndyakangler I've been surviving on leaders with what I call Maina knots on both sides, but the idea of tying thick leader on directly without resorting to FG is incredibly appealing. re: Palomar, I abandoned it almost entirely in favor of Pitzen. Just as strong and very short tag ends.

[@BurkeMarkham]

Hi Matt I love your Vids I like fishing a lot i try kayak fishing but i live on a big lake that usally is much better for fishing form a boat a got a whooper plooper after seeing you use them in many Videos and catching Pike. love your video.😃😄

[@partygarbage7171]

Absolutely love your videos! I live in Baja now, but was in MN for 17 years, obsessed with small lakes, rivers, and creeks. Just curious, with these more "readily-available" lures you use, do you ever upgrade the terminal tackle? Saludos! 🤙

[@ndyakangler]

I usually leave the hooks as they are with production lures. Some of the antique lures I’ve used in the past I swapped hooks on, and a couple hand made lures I’ve received I’d swap the hooks for some bigger ones.

[@thims1961]

The fluorocarbon line's better than a steel leader or would the later dampen the lures swimming action

[@ndyakangler]

Steel is better for bite resistance but it can also mess with the action of some lures.
