"We'll finish fishing this bay with the one-legged Santa."...A sentence none of your viewers has ever heard before.

[@castcatch333]

Frosty the scum frog, was a jolly, slimy bait, With his Walmart lure and his big bass dreams, he just couldn't wait. He hopped into the water, with a splash and a swish, And the bass all gathered 'round him, to fulfill their fishing wish. Frosty the scum frog, was a lure for me and you, He'd catch those big ol' bass, in the waters clear and blue. Kayak fishing with him, was always such a blast, Oh, Frosty the scum frog, he sure could fish at last! In the early morning hours, out on the calm lake, Frosty the scum frog leaped and dived, for big bass' sake. With his hooks all ready, and his colors bright and bold, He lured those hungry bass in, from the depths so cold. Frosty the scum frog, was a lure for me and you, He'd catch those big ol' bass, in the waters clear and blue. Kayak fishing with him, was always such a blast, Oh, Frosty the scum frog, he sure could fish at last! Now the other anglers marveled, at the bass he'd bring ashore, They'd ask where he got Frosty, and they'd rush to get some more. For the scum frog was a legend, in the fishing world so fine, And he'll keep on catching bass, time after time. Frosty the scum frog, was a lure for me and you, He'd catch those big ol' bass, in the waters clear and blue. Kayak fishing with him, was always such a blast, Oh, Frosty the scum frog, he sure could fish at last! So if you're out there fishing, and you're looking for a sign, Just remember Frosty the scum frog, and you'll do just fine! With his Walmart lure a-gleaming, in the morning's early fog, You'll catch those big ol' bass, with Frosty the scum frog!

This is too funny, and very cool !! Great job and thanks !

[@greggdsciotto8952]

Outstanding!!😎

[@GS-xn6lz]

😂😂😂😂😂😂🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥

[@cbvoicenotes267]

SOO creative!!!

[@soxman9]

I laughed so much. Just didn't expect to hear statements like: fishing with a 1 legged santa or Oh no he bit my other leg off.

[@DaleHenry-CIG]

Matt, congratulations on making history! Of all the fishing videos ever made, I'm confident this is the first one that includes the statement, "Let's see if I can catch one more on my one-legged santa frog"! Thanks for putting in all the time and effort to product these videos for us! You do an incredible job.

[@applejuice-3341]

While I do enjoy watching the elite pros and big tournaments, I’ve come to really appreciate the content that you make. Fishing, at its core for me, is therapeutic. You go out, talk quietly, and catch some awesome fish. Keep up the great work

[@thatfishingnoob]

Right? Matt’s simple approach really is therapeutic. It’s nice seeing the excitement and huge energy, but this approach is also amazing and like a form of meditation.

[@UdontKnow8]

Yaaaay some holiday fun with the fishing master!🎉🎉

[@ewright444]

The cast at 12:31 was amazing

[@hbrianunderwood4946]

Sniper

[@aprilgeneric8027]

yeah with a bait caster...that's a dedicated fisherman with many hours of casting practice. my favorite cast was the last fish.... barely hits the water and fish on!

[@brianmontello9074]

Thanks Matt, for bringing in the Christmas Cheer! I love top water frog fishing. Way to plan ahead. Merry Christmas

[@joesphbenwy3845]

You know how to go have fun wish I could fish together I'd learn fast but have the best fish ING time of my old life to rember please do what I can't gongetemmhavebfun give your family a hug tell them thank you for Leven you come get your fishnlove to fish were linesbtobyou.

[@TinyTaco1342]

This way of fishing is cooler than what im used to, but its like a thrill when u have a fish that close to your boat, exiting! i like it.

[@barrymcbride]

Nothing beats the top water bite

[@bonyclifton181]

The best frog out there. Yes it gets water logged a bit but a cast past a weed bed, then retrieving to the pad, quickly over to rest on the near side, is deadly.

[@ndyakangler]

My only gripe is the legs get pulled off. The action was great though!

[@bonyclifton181]

I used a one legged scum frog for a month. Tacklewarehouse has them

[@JackcatsandbassYT]

I caught my PB in the yak yesterday! Definitely a huge inspiration for kayak bass fishing! Btw do you have trout streams in the midwest? It would be really cool to see a fly fishing video or a float trip down a river for trout in the yak.

[@andrewverran4230]

Not many unless theyre stocked or runoff into the great lakes.

[@TH-rn2lx]

There are a lot of trout streams in SE Minnesota but most of them aren’t really big enough for kayak fishing.

[@Offthegridfishing]

I’m glad even the bass got some charisma action

[@cosmogervasi4496]

That first Strike was Sweet! 🎣🐸👍

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

Topwater is life💯the excitement will never age💯💪🏽👊🏽LET’S GOOO🫡

[@_JimS]

These Scummies ROCK! I love these crazy lures, I remember the "Chewbacca" lure,,,,Lol! I bought one of those open loop scissor clamps for fly fishing, Umpqua I believe, very versatile.

[@nick.smith616]

Totally didn't film this in short sleeves during froggin season in MN. Way to plan ahead! Merry Christmas

[@rvmcwhorter]

Hahahahaha, Santa got beat up , a pike would have ripped him clean in half. So good. Having a blast right now in the parking lot at work at Amazon getting ready to get those last minute gifts to all those kids for Christmas . I’m a real life elf . Merry Christmas sir and thank you for all the cool fishing all year , the smallies are my favorite and I’ve learned so much from you . Peace.☮️

[@ndyakangler]

I did that at FedEx for a few years and I don’t miss the holiday season there lol

[@SquirrelTheater]

“Here comes Santa frog…” 🤣😂

[@redbeard6606]

I agree any open water action is better than ice fishing.

[@codybertram6122]

The scum frogs always gave me some of the best hookups when I fished bass. They’re body is softer than most but they get tore up easy. The scum dog walker fishes extremely easy for beginners.

[@doster59]

Thanks for the Christmas present, what a great surprise. Was hoping for a verse of "Frosty The Scumfrog!"

[@louishernandez4422]

Merry Christmas!! I'm lookin forward to next year's fishing

[@63Bare]

Thanks for such an awesome Christmas present. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!

[@scottschlemmer4787]

There must have been some magic in That old plastic lure they found For when they gulped it with their mouths They began to dance around

[@zipzapzoom111]

I highly recommend the ribbit "top toad" for anyone who likes fishing these buzz style frogs. They are absolute fish catching machines and are pretty light on the wallet

[@joshual9759]

Sshhhhhh!!!

[@antoniomora1255]

Thank you very much. I’ll try to find one of those ribbit top toad.

[@michaelpazdan7334]

I did really well this Eason with the ribbit toad. Got a couple big snakehead too

[@vincentgelles3805]

Those Stanley Ribbit top toads are definitely fish catchers. Savage Gear makes one called the Duratech toad that is awesome too. It’s made out of an elaztech type material so it’s super durable. They also float so you can pause it when you get to a spot where you know a bass should be. I’ve caught more 5 and 6 pound largemouth on that Savage Gear toad than I have on any other lure!

[@JReb71]

Merry Christmas and happy fishing bro

[@ThomasWilliams-ee6li]

Minnesotan here. Crazy weather we're having. You should be able to drive across that lake by now.

[@FishinDownSouthTv]

Youre videos are like ASMRs. The catch following the sounds of the water splashing because of the fish is so satisfying 🔥🔥😮‍💨

[@harrygrimley4352]

Nice. Ive said it before I'll say it again. Bass are eating machines. If it is in the water, if it moves in the water bass will eat it! Love it. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@googanbaits4341]

That’s great😂 this is cool a Thursday upload! Thanks for the amazing content and hope you have a great Christmas!

[@billsmith5166]

Awfully nice looking lake for winter up here in Minnesota. Thanks for the video!

[@braxtontetstone409]

It's the heer comes santa frog for me😂

[@johnwhitmore5408]

"Here comes Santa Frog," hahaha you should record a Xmas album...🧑‍🎄

[@matth851]

Ndyakangler fishing a top water frog? Its a Christmas miracle!

[@aitutaki50]

Nice Scum Froggery Yak Fishin'...Happy Holidays! 🎉

[@muskyvictim]

.. must get busy busy busy .." 😂 professor ...from my favorite Christmas Frosty the Snowman

[@davesmnsports]

Thank you for stoking the fever while the lake is frozen. Going south soon so I can fish

[@chrispayne591]

Best fisherman ever, it looks very green in Minesotta , was this filmed a little while ago?

[@daveandcherylbrown4560]

Bingo!!! I live in Northern Minnesota and I find it hard to believe it's December with leaves on the trees & birds singing like it was spring!!! Love the goofy lures though!❤

[@Offthegridfishing]

Love your videos , never disappointed

[@thats.grantastic]

I knew it was pre-recorded because there's no black fingernail 😄

[@adammead8197]

Howdy Christmas everyone!

[@MJ-sn4ue]

What a treat to hear birds singing in December in MN. Thanks for your videos and have a great Christmas and new year.

[@nusdogg]

I have a few of those as well. Tons of water action with those huge foot.

[@rayflynn7942]

Happy Christmas and a prosperous New year to you, your partner and the little one🎉 looking forward to some more Zen fishing from the master in the next year

[@johnqualls5990]

Happy holidays from Germany. Really miss catching bass, so thanks for the videos.

[@joespafford6499]

I'm totally keep an eye out for that kind of lures. Awesome video man that last dish was beautiful I love the way they crushed it the last two fish you caught.

[@christophershelton1735]

Thank you so much for reminding us of what’s to come when it warms up.

[@smelltheglove2038]

Oh dang, surprise episode.

[@htuckey]

Wasn't expecting much on here today, just scrolling by, and lo and behold, an early Christmas present! That was some pretty good top water action for such a cold winter day! These old bones aren't up to the cold any more, so I'll have to keep hitching a ride with you, Matt, until the sun comes out again. It's been a great ride, and I wish you and your family a Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Thank you for all the great fishing adventures!

[@motoformprototyping]

Happy holidays from Sweden, thanks for all the good videos this year.

[@macmcelroy6165]

happy holidays Matt and all the other subscribers - hey we're one day closer to spring !

[@htschad9685]

Hope you and yours have a Happy and safe Holiday! Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the relaxing and fun videos! I love it when you throw the likes of Chewbacca and frosty out there and actually catch fish!

[@cbvoicenotes267]

8:35~It's Frosty time!!!☃🎣

[@keithschneller130]

Hey Matt -I can't wait to get back out in my yak for more topwater!!! You are such a great teacher and I love the quiet and excitement of watching you at work. You are the Master! I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Hope to see you out on the water in 2024...

[@stonefly69]

Merry Christmas, Matt!!!!! Tight lines in 2024!!!!!

[@mikepollock8295]

Cool a bonus episode! Thanks Matt! I love watching you catch some fish! Great large mouth bass catches! Merry Christmas Matt!

[@purinpuff]

i saw a ribbit top toad today for the first time while Christmas shopping and had to buy a few then came home to see this video lol Merry Christmas God Bless

[@homegrowncatch]

My soul needed to see some good fishing. You have a really cool cam view and always awesome content! Really needed this one! Thank you!!

[@andydolan176]

Thanks for planning ahead pal, this was just what I needed. Still waiting for the ice on the Bay of Quinte and this helped with my angling addiction withdrawals. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@steinerp]

so glad you are still able to be fishing and not giving out old videos to make us all jealous. :)

[@bobrich1950]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Matt. And here's to a very happy, healthy, and properous New Year to all !!

[@markroth9827]

Thank you for the video. Merry Christmas.

[@NESig]

Here comes Santa Frog, here comes Santa Frog. :)

[@harrygrimley4352]

That was awesome. Sounded like spring. Blackbirds and such. Thanks for sharing this with us. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEARS

[@Aidan_Eh]

YOOOOOOOO BassMang! ! ! ! ! 👋🥸 that last fish was a beaut.. way to go dude.. Merry Holiday to you also.. see ya on the next an stay safe out there.. buhbye 👋🤓

[@thunderwang4832]

Awesome!! Thanks for another year of amazing content! Merry Christmas!

[@simonj.4073]

Happy holidays Matt, and thanks for this gift!

[@johnstoutenburg7163]

That frog is murder! Special thanks to your amazing casting

[@sailguy0321]

The casting accuracy of this guy is amazing. I would've lost these lures in the cattails after a few throws.

[@jackfish2094]

Great stuff thanks for all of your amazing and fun fishing - sitting here on Dec 31 2023 counting days til spring! Happy New Year! Tight lines all!

[@nh_highlander1985]

Thank you sir, Merry Christmas and Happy New Bass...🎅

[@Tony-vk4gc]

Blitz frigs sell replacement legs that fit the scum frogs great. A bit if glue to handle a giod tug and not come out easily

[@ebaker60]

What a great way to start my day. Thank you!

[@leszekszulc8813]

Thank you very much Matt.Merry Christmans and Happy New Year. GREETINGS FROM POLAND.

[@ThomasSielaff]

You're one tough guy! Short sleeves this time of year! 😆

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Consistently fantastic lure fishing videos Superb thanks Matt

[@truebalsamhogs]

Thanks, well done. Merry Christmas

[@hbrianunderwood4946]

An impressive year of fishing, Matt. You're the best freshwater yakangler on the tube.

[@rvmcwhorter]

He does all this with no electronics just an anchor system . Reads waters like a book . 📕

[@christophershelton1735]

The green reeds and grass definitely didn’t give it away.

[@chipseiler1766]

Are you serious! Too much fun. NEVER expected topwater in ND Christmas week!!! Unbelievable. Didn't you just do some ice-fishing a week or so ago? (FYI - Just ordered Santa and a Gingerbread man from AMAZON. both have "skirt" style legs.) ...I was surprised when I saw some surface panfish action last week here in NC, but I tried a brown/gold crickhopper and caught a couple bluegill and a crappie. I was excited since the pond I was fishing had a massive fish die off this summer and fishing has been dead! I've had many 'skunk" days in a row. This used to be very rare for me. Once every 6 months or so, so to have 6 or 7 days in a row with zero fish (of any species) has been depressing and difficult to deal with. Thanks for sharing this fun video. Merry Christmas!!!

[@stevevaughn9093]

Great video, as always. Merry Christmas.

[@Elroy5150]

Another fantastic video!

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Here comes Santa Frog, here comes Santa Frog……..

[@my67falcon]

At the in-laws for Christmas and they all started watching the Chiefs/Raiders, so I'm in the bedroom watching this. Thanks for a moment of quiet relaxation before I go back to the chaos that is the in-laws.

[@rogernull6151]

Great video! As we're stuck here in fishing limbo, (no ice yet) it's nice to have Summer top-water action to dream about.

[@dgroves85]

No way you were fishing in Minnesota in the middle of winter in short sleeves and catching them on topwater! 😂 I was stationed at Minot Air Base, North Dakota. Most brutal winter weather I’ve ever experienced!

[@lungchan1729]

ho man, so warm overthere. Here in quebec, it's freezing even at the south. merry christmas

[@lindapetersen1800]

Matt they were really going to town on Santa's Legs haha giggle !!! Santa will still be able to get back & forth from his sleight !!! Frosty is getting those fish out there !!! You all must be in southern MN ??? @Mav is in northern MN Mav was out fishing just a few days ago !!! Ice on the lake but also some parts not icey !!!!

[@blakegarcia9724]

Hi Matt, is there a chance you could teach in a video how to map out a lake and understand what spots to fish. Just whenever you might end up on a new lake show us some of the process of mapping the lake and then deciding what places are best to fish. I am new to fishing and it would be much appreciated. Love your videos

[@barrymcbride]

Merry Christmas Matt and everyone.

[@joeoconnor7366]

Merry Christmas brother!! Enjoying the ride as always ❤

[@antoniomora1255]

I didn’t expect this video on a Thursday and it’s made me quite happy to enjoy this topwater action when the weather is cold in my town. I caught my last largemouth in October on a rat lure and this video takes me back to the warmer days of early fall that I miss so much.

[@jamessontankersley2255]

Merry Christmas!!!!! The early upload made my week!

[@yummygogolak]

I love Scum frogs. Soft, dirt cheap, and highly reliable. I don't even know what the other 50 are for.

[@neonwhitea.1548]

Looks like they aren’t very durable considering he broke one in like 4 fish

[@63Bare]

Scum Frogs are old school and still one of the best hollow baits ever made. So many frog body styles made today replicate the old Scum Frog.

[@yummygogolak]

@@neonwhitea.1548 These ones maybe, but the originals are indestructible.

[@user-bq7qi9wf7d]

Wow i`ll have to try one of those in our lakes in Quebec. Thanks great stuff!

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

Culvert hit, and strike were classic, thanks 🎉 Merry Christmas

[@whitewolfw4623]

What a beautiful lake. Awesome video.

[@richman61]

poor santa frog..lol cracking me up. love it and thanks

[@WhiteHarpune]

That's a first - had to pause the video because I couldn't stop laughing about the "Here comes Santa Frog"... Well done Matt! Love this video

[@DH-tj6tf]

Fisherman can only dream of your fishing lifestyle 👍💯

[@LiSa.N.J]

Sweet!! Bonus content! I thought I slept right through to Saturday. lol Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
