Explosive Action With The Whopper Plopper!

A fun evening of river fishing with the Whopper Plopper 75! There's always plenty of exciting topwater action when I tie this lure on, let's see if we can get some smallies to smash it!

Is anyone else deeply comforted by this man and his videos??

[@jestenrobinson]

Yes; this is the Bob Ross of fishing...

[@vintagecrazyjay4970]

Yes, all 393k of us! Cheers!

[@chinncannon]

yup

[@melwinbylund]

Yeah man! I am.

[@user-oj4wj5or4f]

Yes. I'm from Belarus and I watch his video every time.

[@HelloMoto1991]

The Bob Ross of fishing. Damn near every cast is a work of art. Regardless of the lure he always finds a way to catch fish. Then to listen to his commentary with that calm, cool tone, it relaxes you like you are sitting behind him in a tandem kayak just going for a relaxing ride. All in quintessential NDYakAngler fashion. Never stop doing these videos, you have a forever subscriber here. I will end with a THANK YOU.🙏

[@ndyakangler]

Thanks! I’m gonna keep making these videos as long as I can!

[@descend84]

I said this to myself the other day! The Bob Ross of fishing! 👍

[@scottlambert4727]

Hi

[@labtrainer09]

Hey, Matt. We're right in the middle of a significant spring snowstorm here in Maine, so the chance to watch you fishing the river last summer-with green vegetation around you-was even more enjoyable than usual. I also really appreciate your describing in detail the differences between the original River-to-Sea Whopper Plopper and the many "clones" on the market. Now I know better than to be tempted by the more reasonable prices of the other variants. Hope that REAL spring reaches us both very soon. Best, Chris

[@isaacbrascoupe]

That snow storm went through the last few days, no wind and snow now. Just a beautiful blanket

[@GLepage74]

Same here my fellow Mainer! Makes me miss being out on the kayak!

[@jaymeowen8207]

Same thing here in Wisconsin.

[@Oldbasshole]

So glad the snow stayed north of us here in Massachusetts! Heavy rain but I got to go fishing at least ( even caught a few ) stay safe in the snow , hopefully you’ll be out fishing soon

[@bassman8144]

Ain’t it nice? Buffalo here and we just got another 8”🤬

[@SK0L_Valhalla]

After all this time, I still can't get over how wholesome these videos are. I enjoy listening to the passion in the voice and watching the content. Thank you for this!

[@DanKoning777]

"I still can't get over how wholesome these videos are." 100% agree-videos like this with content like which was *once* considered "normal" [whatever that means today], are becoming more scarce. Sadly, people overall seem less genuine-it's all about the $$$/ads etc vs simply doing what you enjoy doing. The comments sections are a beast all their own regardless of the video topic-from metal detectors to watch/shoe repair [lol], they often reflect the opposite of "wholesome." But what do ya expect from people/nations that want nothing to do with biblical truth because it's an inconvenience to their lifestyles?

[@luketw2818]

I started topwater fishing on my local river 5 years ago because of your videos and information. Kayak fishing has changed my life nowadays. I have all my friends hooked and the muskies and smallmouth are plentiful on my stretch. Truly something special I’ve gained from this. Life long memories made with my friends too

[@ndyakangler]

That’s great to hear, congrats! It’s hard to beat a day on a river with smallies and muskie roaming around!

I can’t wait for some topwater action this summer!

[@timothyeubanks32100]

Only recently discovered your channel. You are so skilled! It's truly incredible, and a complete joy to watch you fish. Really appreciate the content. It is true you are the Bob Ross of fishing. I've watched every single episode, and many multiple times, and have only done one painting. I'm not a painter, I just enjoyed thoroughly watching someone do something they love so easily and effortlessly and being so skilled and masterful at their craft. It's truly a wonderful thing to watch. As an outdoorsman, your seemingly natural ability coupled with countless hours of practice, repetition, and memorization of patterns, has led to your knowledge of what to do in any given situation to find freaking monsters over and over and over, in any situation ... It's freaking unbelievable your skill and talent. You land PB after PB after PB for probably a lot of us watching. It's kinda insane dude. If these were hunter/gatherer times, and you had your gear, you could feed a fairly good sized village on your own. That's insane! 😅 Absolute joy to watch. Subbed!

[@davelips]

Whopper Plopper coming out of retirement! Love it 😆 Thanks for not editing out the lost fish.. we all experience the rush of a fish getting off the hook right at the boat. Would have loved to see that musky, but good on you for showing the real stuff that happens out there on the river!

[@natfetter1592]

I watched this channel 2years ago before my fiancé left me…. Ima watch it now. This dude has something special, rep the gang bro ❤ Jesus is lord

[@nh_highlander1985]

I was glad to see I am not the only one that casts lures into trees and logs! Nice day, good fish.

[@joedurso5192]

You have to….price to pay. They love cover to ambush

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Casting onto a log or rock is a good way to pluff a lure right into a lie. Also, with a large leaf, you can float a lure or bait downstream into a tangled spot.

[@MichaelCraig-bi3wj]

I changed to Gamakatsu G-finesse hooks and started to put them in the boat more often. I also attached a ball bearing snap swivel on the front of the lure and it keeps the lure from spinning and twisting your line. Keep the great videos coming!!

[@spencerlail8282]

Dude is 100% the Bob Ross of fishing

[@JackcatsandbassYT]

Texas dude here, i just caught my first smallie about 10 days ago and they fight sooo hard! I caught a 1 3/4 lber and it fought wayyy harder than a largie over double its size.

[@user-ifishoften]

Why is NDYakAngler my favorite KZbin video source? He is a good guy and a great fisherman. His discipline in keeping his head focused on the lure is the best. His skill in editing makes the videos smooth and flowing. He shares his lures and techniques freely with his viewers. His stream of consciousness dialog seems to mirror my own thoughts as I travel along with him. He is the perfect fishing companion.

[@cvaicunas69]

Feels like just yesterday I found this channel, and was telling my friends about this little hidden gem of a channel that had maybe 15K subs. The success is well earned, and certainly deserved by Matt

[@htuckey]

We're getting lots of snow and ice here in upstate NY, so it's a real treat to see a new video from Matt! Thanks for the pick-me-up! I think I'll go sort through my tackle box and start thinning it out (HAH!) for opening day - that's only a couple or three months away! Thanks again, Matt!

[@bombasticnation]

I always loved watching the fish jump out of the water and flipping to try and spit the hook. Something so beautiful about it

[@murraycod1965]

Some days they stick, and others they don’t! Just part of fishing!! Cheers mate!

[@SlimAdventures]

Dude that big fish you lossed was a giant.. holy crap!!

Those big ones just make a different sound when they hit top water. I wanted to see it.

[@juicebox8560]

Your content inspired me to get a fishing kayak. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

[@ndyakangler]

That’s awesome! My only regret is that I didn’t get one about ten years before I did!

[@juicebox8560]

@@ndyakangler Kayaks are not cheap I’ll just say that 😂. But it’s totally worth the investment. Just want to say I’ve been watching the channel for a few years now and I love the content. Keep up the amazing work!

[@jakobgant5251]

A lot of people have told me the best way to fish a plopper is just a straight retrieval and it’s one of my number 1 go to lures, but I have also found success doing stop and goes like you were in this video. More I think on the straight reel in but that could be just because I fish that way more. I don’t know but I’m gonna give the slow jerks a little more of a try, especially in tiny area where there isn’t much room to feel it of cast it.

[@ndyakangler]

It all depends on what kind of mood the fish are in. On rivers I usually know exactly where the fish are hiding so I pop my lure more to keep it close to those structure spots longer. On open water I’ll steady retrieve it more. The more water I cover the more active fish I’ll get my lure in front of.

[@weshamil3921]

What a beautiful river! Thanks for taking us along. I'm hoping to put a Florida bass or two in the canoe Saturday morning with the Whopper Plopper. It's a little larger style but, still a plopper.

[@MarkyBoyle]

Right in the middle of a big snowstorm. My fishing fever has officially risen to unsafe levels

[@ShinetheLightofTruth]

I love the Ploppers. Gona have to grab one of the 75's.

[@michaelmccormick1016]

I found an old blog on a site called bass resource that says Bass will turn bluish color if they eat food high in fat. It sounds like the fish in that case were pellet fed from a feeder machine. When they adjusted the food their color changed back. On my screen that Bass definitely had strange bluish color.

[@MuahMan]

When people ask me why I don't like FFS in fishing, I'm just going to show them the first 15 seconds of this video. THAT'S why I love fishing. I'm jumped out of my seat for a second. LOL

[@WilliamKiene-yg7rq]

This is one of the top fishing KZbin channels and we all need to subscribe to help keep it going. Smallmouth Bass in clearish moving water is the best.

[@Madisonrvr]

That’s gotta be the most explosive topwater strike I’ve ever seen on this channel. Insane. Matt- your mission this season: get back there and bring him to the net!

[@stevenwillard8436]

Purple!? I wish we coulda had some bright sunlight on that oddity. Bravo.

[@ndyakangler]

Yeah we were getting low on light and it didn’t show up as well on camera but that fish definitely had a blueish/purple tint to it.

[@edsequip]

As I’m watching this it’s still winter up here in northern Canada, and the sound of those summer birds is almost better than watching the great fishing.

[@avid.venture]

Right?! I’m in Alberta and we got tricked. It was 16c just a couple days ago, and now I just got inside from shovelling 😂

[@huskergator9479]

Just the wind, water, birds and splashing fish. Matt has said nature is his music. I think that’s what he said. Maybe he just can’t get the rights to ACDC’s Thunderstruck. Idk. Summers coming my northern brothers! Soon you’ll be up to your eyeteeth in skeeters.

Hey Sir, Love this video at the end of Winter here. I think I first started watching your videos because the rivers you fish are so similar to the ones here and SMB are so fun. Thanks for sharing

[@tee7200]

I bought one 1yr ago and I can say it’s my favorite to use and the sound it makes in the water is amazing

[@ndyakangler]

It’s hard to beat a day of Whopper Ploppin, so much fun!

[@user-bv7gu7qt8h]

Thanks for the beautiful summer video during our snowy winter. That odd colored bass looked blue to me. It seems after watching your videos for a number of years that smallies have a variety of markings and coloration. Some have had pronounced stripes, some neat markings on their heads, some have been a golden color and some have been very dark. My dad fished bass in western Wisconsin and he called smallies 'black bass.' A great fish in great videos.

[@Rebellgentleman]

I can commiserate with you after watching 3 out of the first 4 fish you hung shake the lure. Although I have had wonderful experiences with this lure, this video has reminded me of how many fish I have hung only to have them shake the lure during the fight. Interestingly, most of them have shaken the lure while on a taut line after 10-20 turns of the reel (without jumping) after what I thought was a good hook set. I have learned that waiting a few seconds after the initial attack on the lure (longer than I would wait on a frog) helps with the hook-set, but not always.

[@mitcholson9795]

After discovering your channel 3 years ago i swear by the whopper plopper. I started using the same one used in this video. Last year, I started using the size 90 loon pattern, caught way more fish and lost a lot less. Last summer I caught 7 musky and a ton of smallies on one plopper and its still going strong. Definitely my go to lure while river fishing

[@henrybutchy3242]

What a treat on a chilly march day. some summer smallies surface strikes. Those are healthy fish. Thank you

[@southwestfishguy]

Best Lure ever made second to the buzz bait! Love your channel! Keep up the good work.

[@afusmackdown]

I like how you add 1/4-1/2” on every fish even though we can see it on camera like a true fisherman! Was fun watching.

[@ndyakangler]

Most of the time when people call me out on that they’re just reading my ruler wrong. The number is around 1/4” past the line it represents, with a little arrow pointing to the line that’s really tough to see on the GoPro footage.

[@cosmickidd205]

That take on the intro was explosive. Wonderful to watch,even better when it's on your line.great video. Thanks for taking us along.i actually felt your pain when the fish got off.

[@nick.smith616]

the purpleish smallie was super neat. love finding fish with different colors and patterns!

[@kennethgoin628]

That big hit looked like an esox eruption to me! My experience with both northerns and muskies is this: They move more water than the bass when they fully commit. The last fish... I had to chuckle because I was like, "hit that spot to the right!" Then you did and BAM! Thanks for testing the spot for me!

[@michaelduy9055]

You have some great water available. Love watching!

[@RuujRubellite]

I absolutely love the Whopper Plopper 75; I used it last fall against Largemouth. It slays! I can't wait to finally go after some Smallies this year. Never been able to fish for Smallies so I'm excited to finally get out there and slay some fish.

[@user-sl6ud2fr2c]

My favorite lure of all time. If that water holds game fish those whopper ploppers are awesome

[@richardmcnamara8530]

Smallmouths are so much fun to fish!

[@crushingthevector5837]

Brother I gotta tell you. Your videos really are a wonderful and inspiring experience. Your settings and locations are not just thriving with worthy fish but theyre loaded with beautiful nature, moving water, dancing water plants and trees and most exciting, the explosive action provided by plump, healthy, energetic fish. It seems your videos inspire me to get up and get out to throw some lines. These "Whopper Ploppers" really do trigger some insane action by a variety of fish. I absolutely plan to add a few to my kit. I have always been a fan of top water fishing. My go to has been the Jitterbug or on the occasion, a home made rig. However, after watching all this explosive action, the Whopper Plopper will absolutely find its way into my box.

[@ndyakangler]

The Whopper Plopper is one of my favorite lures for summer fishing! They’re fun and effective for bass, pike, and muskie. I’ll usually go with the 75 size for smallies, the 110 for largemouth and pike, and the 130 if there’s bigger pike or muskie around.

[@douglaswhitcomb9729]

Great video. I’m getting ready to head back to N MN for the summer. This top water action certainly has me stoked for the upcoming season. Fully agree that the Wopper Plopper is a awesome top water lure.

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Great vid! Beautiful river! The fish are using the bait as leverage to pop off and throw the hook. Easy fix is to add an extra split ring so the hooks have more freedom and less chance of them throwing the hook due to leverage. 🏆🎣

[@ndyakangler]

It’s usually not a problem when they’re hitting a little more aggressively and I get my hooks in them better. I think here early summer they were just kind of nipping and swiping at the lure.

[@johnshaft5613]

I've said this before, but I cannot get over the quality of smallmouth fishing in your area. I live in California, which should have a longer growth season, but there is nowhere in the state where you can catch smallies of this quality/quantity.

[@ndyakangler]

I’ve fished several rivers in MN and had no problem finding a bunch of 3-4lb smallies. They seem to grow thick and healthy up here!

[@johnshaft5613]

@@ndyakangler That's what's so amazing. All the rivers around here with smallies are choked with 6-10" fish. Even in remote areas where I am positive there is negligible fishing pressure.

Great day fishing most of the fish hit before the Whopper plopper started plopping I love it when you can throw it right on top of them. I miss them Smalley's and steelhead up north I moved down to VA from Ohio and the Smalley's are no where the size as they are up north I guess they don't have all the shad gobies and other bait fish to reach them record sizes. I've had 50+ fish days with 19" 20" bass nothing like the great lakes and there tributaries.

[@swampmonster4935]

I agree %100 on the quality of the Whopper Plopper. I have a few dozen types of plopper baits from different manufacturers and with MAYBE the exception of the Berkley Choppo nothing even compares. Larry Dahlberg created a legendary lure and fish catching machine.

[@ndyakangler]

The Choppos are great but I’ve broke the tails on several of them bashing them around on the river. I fish too much structure out there and inevitably I’m going to bounce my lure off stuff a few times throughout the day.

[@paultharp4626]

Great video.. thanks for sharing. The misses reminded me of one night fishing on Lake Ontario up in NY (early summer). We were fishing sinking Rapalas and all of us we're missing seemingly every strike. Finally we figured out that as the fish were hitting.. they were swimming toward us rapidly, right after the hit - as opposed to hitting and turning away (which as you know often results in a self hook) Anyway.. we started sweeping the lure towards us as we continued to reel and finally started to hook fish. Had never experienced that b4 or since.. not sure what was happening but thought I'd share.

[@paullevine1813]

LOL , You know it's going to be a good vid when it starts with a huge splash & Matt going Holy Crap !!!! Always fun to use the Whopper Plopper especially when it's working & the fish are hungry .
