I was at one of the most legendary fishing lakes in WI over the weekend, couldn't catch a cold. ND can essentially put an old boot on a hook, throw it in some pond on the side of a highway, and BOOM....giant pike. Classic.

[@SunnyIlha]

The 2nd pike whopped the lure as soon as it hit the water. YakAngler's lure just lands and there's a fish on! 2 pike in 7 minutes!!

[@timanderson2515]

I'm telling you....there's some sorta deal made with a guy with horns. 😂😂

It's more about pressured lakes vs lakes they don't see lures often. I was in a backwater area off of lake Michigan in Wisconsin and the fishing was incredible!

Almost every video I see the comment of “your videos are so relaxing compared to others” And I can’t disagree, I am in love with the simplicity of each video. No music, no yelling and screaming over a 3lb bass, no bullshit. Fishing is about the experience, and the escape from the modern day hustle. Nature is beautiful. I think your videos express that perfectly. Thank you. 💯❤️

[@lehbeltman]

When I was a kid, my dad took me on a fishing trip in Canada. We drove 12 hours from Ohio, loaded our gear on a boat and went another couple of hours. Fished for a week and caught some pike. This guy fishes in a highway side drainage pond and nails more big pike in a day than we did in a week in the middle of nowhere.

[@petet5213]

Yeah, good for Matt, but sucks for the rest of us. This fishing porn is something else

[@FallenLions]

okay, you have to understand who catches and releases and how frequent it is fished. if the spot is frequently fished and everyone filets the fish after the fish, then there is going to be very little fish in that spot, if there are they are very small. if you find a spot that is fished rarely or frequently and released, there are plenty and a lot of them. for example I could go to a very small pond and throw a spinner bait and catch a small mouth every fucking throw and toss it back. or i could go to a huge ass lake that is fished a shit load and not even catch a blue gill or even have a bite.

[@weisswurstfruhstuck8523]

Now I got my DC reel too finally. It’s a bit easier for me as a beginner to not get toooo much of a backlash anymore when I try skip casts or simply do nonsense and fail. Plus I love the sound it makes. All your videos are very inspiring for doing kayak fishing myself here in Germany. Started just this year and as I Said mostly due to your videos! Thanks again!

Matt, I muskie fish in a spot right next to the interstate. It's above me instead of at eye level, but I can catch glimpses of big trucks going by. With all the Esox fishing you've been doing I'm surprised you're not out there with a mojo musky.
