Whopper Plopper 75 Float And Fish Smallmouth And Pike

My friend Jacob and I head out to the river for a fun day of floating and fishing with the Whopper Plopper 75. Lots of bass caught and even a couple bonus pike get in on the Plopper action!

Watching how you handle pike always gives me a confidence boost for handling them. They're such beautiful creatures but man I get a little intimidated by them. You display the balance of healthy respectful distance while still being able to hands on ensure their proper release. So much kudos.

[@daimynduong3028]

are we not gonna talk about your flawless casts??? Great vid!!

[@JaggedToothTackle]

I got to see a few NOT so flawless -- felt great to know he gets a tree once in awhile :)

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

Haha i was thinking the same

[@JaggedToothTackle]

What he can do from a sit down position and paddle in one hand is amazing

[@mike2687]

I think he uses nearly all 6' rods. These help with his accuracy where many of us, myself included, go for longer rods for picking up the slack better in the current and for making longer casts in clear water... however, after watching many of his videos, I've begun to rethink how I gear up.

[@markschoeppel6695]

Dont talk. Simply genuflect

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

Your the Bob Ross of fishing, super relaxing to watch, never stop.

[@jroyero]

LifeOutdoors 2day i was thinking that right now man 😮

Perfect comment. The Whopper Ploppper is like a Happy Little Tree...."That's a Pig!"

[@erikbogerman2048]

Happy pike!

I was thinking the same thing man

[@robertpuksta4447]

Thanks for letting me tag along side you during this float down the river. I seriously felt like I was there. That was a great day. Thanks for the escape.

[@bossbob50]

Of course, to repeat; exceptional casting ability, thanks for the calm demeanor and commentary, exceptional kayak control, and finally, thank you for no music, just the nat sounds. Outstanding.

[@fishgodgordon6316]

Does anyone else's heart start pounding the moment a bass blows up on your Whopper Ploppper?!!

[@jigsawalwayswins8636]

Had a 45 inch pike torpedo out of the water for my plopper today, damn near had a heart attack

[@southernsawyers6543]

Oh yea no doubt I love getting scared of a big ole bass hitting the top water .

[@wildbeaveryt]

I'm fishing in France and Yesterday I had 4 pikes on the whopper plopper, between 18 and 22 inches, in just quarter an hour!

[@metaldude55ify]

I still jump like I am scared Everytime it happens. Nothing more exciting.

[@ronaldmitchell2565]

I thought I was the only one after 20-30 mins of fishing and BAM ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE COMES A SMALLIES...AND I JUMP....

[@TaylorJordan1231]

I know I'm a few years late to the show, but your casts are impeccable! I don't think I've ever seen as accurate castings before

[@peterzimmermann7452]

I wish I knew of a place near me that had such good fishing

[@reileymaiers9270]

Same Here!

[@mikeschultz6383]

Peter Zimmermann place looks like fishing heaven

[@Jon-nz3dm]

@yourleftnut1 we hardly have any rivers here in north texas. plenty of lakes, most of the good rivers are down in south texas, though.

[@Hrogthar]

@@Jon-nz3dm Come up north to Oklahoma. Blue river and Lower Mountain Fork are prime for smallies and trout.

[@nickthedick3742]

You never know till you try. Everyone says the fishing sux in my local river but I catch something every time. It's not always a honey hole but there's fish in the strangest places. Try that drainage ditch or pond you never know what's in there.

[@gamesofcontent]

"loser buys blizards" nice whoelsome fishing bet lol

[@FloridaMan0561]

The whopper plopper is a show stopper 😂 I like how ND goes out of his way to answer his viewers questions too 👍🏻

[@dave3897]

I truly love these videos you post brother. Your probably the only fishing KZbinr I religiously follow. I haven’t kayak fished before but I’d love to go up your neck of the woods and try it!

[@williambaker1753]

With the Whopper ploppers the action and size definitely is more important than color I only carry three different colors black for dirty water white for cloudy water and clear for clear water. I love them beefy little plopper 75s the sound and vibration they give off make the fish aggressive. Great video as always you sure tare them a new one when you're on the water I enjoy the beautiful scenery and fish that's why I watch every video. Good luck on the water and God bless.

[@peterhammill9313]

Beautiful sunset and a great day of fishing!

[@lostanchorfishn1292]

Took kayaks down river this morning. I only thru a whopper plopper 90 cause of your vids.. I landed 11 smallmouth and my pb pike.. ty for the vids my man...

[@ndyakangler]

Sounds like an awesome day, congrats on the PB pike!

[@ryanb4026]

I could continually rewind this video and watch it all day long. Nice work.

[@phonebooth7007]

I absolutely love your videos no music just sounds of fishing thanks for taking the time to make the videos

[@harrygrimley4352]

I think I've watched this video about eight times now. What a day. Thank you.

[@williammeyer214]

Great day on the water. My mind boggles when contemplating the sheer tonnage of fish in that healthy river. Beneath that placid surface , very hungry creatures lurk. Don’t fall in!

[@appalachiafishingclub]

Always enjoy your videos...no gimmicks.

[@BassManStrikes]

You guys have nicer weather than we do in Milwaukee, if it has been raining it's been super windy. Nice video as usual 👍😀

[@mattcardwell1506]

As always...great video. 👍 Good bycatch on the pike. Multi species action is always fun.

[@danthemowerman4351]

No one: Absolutely not a single cell: Got it on the whopper plopper

[@jacob55yearsago47]

Lmao

[@gamesofcontent]

IDK if his fish in particular love the whopper plopper or if I am doing it wrong, but Idaho smallmouth don't give a shit about them. I have only caught like 6-10 bass and I must have cast it 10000 times over 10 days.

Munchie Munch they got the jealous bug lol

[@garneroutlaw1]

​@@gamesofcontent lol. You only need 3 lures for river fishing. 1) Mepps Black Fury 2) Rapala jointed minnow (silver or northern pike color) 3) clearance bin shallow running rattling squarebill shad crankbait (offwhite with green back). If those 3 don't work you can try an old fasioned silver and blue spoon. If that don't work, there's no fish in the hole.

[@hopinmytimemachine986]

Dude your vids are the best out by far. I've been fly fishing for years and you got me hooked on this type of fishing. Just bought my first yak today a Big fish 120 and as soon as I feel good at it in heading your way to buy you breakfast

Love your approach to how you fish. Awesome fun. Makes me me ss living in the very northern Wisconsin

[@superfroman999]

I know this vid is old, but I was at areservoir Saturday, and had a monster chain pickerel on, had him in my yak, holding him with my left hand, and I went to scoop him under the gill with my right he snapped my line, wiggled free and took my lure with him. Felt awful for letting him go with a lure in his mouth (he's feisty so hopefully he spits it) and the fact I thought mishandled. Feel a little bit better it happens to a pro like you. Definitely bringing a net, in the future because I think that would have helped. This is by far the best channel on youtube. All my best baits I've gotten from you. Keep up the good work man!

[@ndyakangler]

Thanks Chris! It’s never a good feeling leaving a lure with trebles in a fish’s mouth like that. I think a lot of times they’re able to shake it but still I hate to have that happen. This stretch had a lot more pike than the spots I usually fish so I might have to set up a rod with a leader next time we float it. The big pike seemed to hang out in the shallow slack areas so I’ll toss my heavier rig when we float through those.

[@Road_Rash]

I've seen you reel in enough fish that you've sold me on the whopper plopper! Gotta get a few of those!

[@sadday101]

Good one? lol Sounds like someone’s worried about your bet.....Great video!!

You've made me bought one Whopper Plopper. It's on it's way. If I ever fish with it I will never shut up about it.

[@JaggedToothTackle]

Great video Matt! Was truly an awesome day - I'll probably never catch more smallmouth in a day than that (still have 2 hours of video to condense)

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

That stretch was very scenic👀 Thanks for taking me along👍Been awhile without a yak in flowing water here, drought conditions, hopefully the remnants of the hurricane last week helped my cause. Even though I've yet to catch a fish on the 90 Whopper Plopper, I'm going to pickup some 75 after watching this, looks like it works better. I'm kinda disappointed in the 90- wish I'd bought 110's instead.

[@ndyakangler]

The 75 will replace the 90 as my go to size for smallmouth. Less rolling and line twist and much more consistent and better action from the tail.

[@wilfredoalvarado3198]

I'm just starting to learn the River by me, it's got some decent Smallmouth fishing in it too, with some Northerns and occasional muskie. I think next year ours I'll be about the size of what you're catching, or maybe this year. I love seein you releasing them, I do the same, except for walleyes and panfish. Great vid, thanks for posting!

After that pike with your plopper I would have swam after him to fetch that gem of a lure.

Great video man keep up the good work also I enjoy watching your videos

[@terrywendt3946]

Good show , thanks

[@antoniomora1255]

Lots of fun out of that marvellous surface action. It hurts when a big fish snaps your line and takes off your lure. In my case it is more due to the thought of the likely big fish death by the hook than to the lure loss. But that’s fishing.

[@ndyakangler]

Same here, the lure can easily be replaced but I hate having it left in the fishes mouth.

[@troutbum3977]

You did it again damn nice work

[@gmanlipripper]

heck yeah what a day. fishing for blizzard now were talking haha. I just posted my first time taking the WP75 out for largies. and used it last week on the smallies it worked much better in the current than the 90 I think. man waiting for a musky to nail the WP. wish they would make all the colors in all the sizes. the chubby color is my favorite but they only make it in the 130 and 190 I think. keep slaying them and be safe

[@ndyakangler]

I was on a musky lake Friday throwing a 190 in the “Lucy” color similar to the redhead color of my spooks, had a mid 40’s follow it up but turned away about 5ft from the kayak. One of these days I’ll hook into one! Probably when I’m out targeting bass lol.

[@aaronvallejo8220]

Great times fishing...thanks when I can't go.

[@chrisreumont]

So who had to buy the blizzards? What an amazing day of fishing. You do realize snow your gonna make buy a “WP 75”. Great video again.

[@ndyakangler]

Jacob got the blizzards lol. 19” was my biggest and his was 18.75”. I highly recommend the WP75, I think it’s gonna replace the 90’s in my tackle box.

[@IndianaSmallmouth]

Great river, grass looks amazing to fish. I can't help wondering what an upstream wade would do versus kayaking. The noise from boats spooks a lot of fish and drifting with a fish on line can push the boat through more fish. Great content. IN Indiana, I mostly wade until cold months.
