Way to go brother. Thanks for supporting this you tuber. He is way better than all the cool guy "bros".

Thanks again, the lures were great!

[@larryvilla6869]

Do you hunt elk and deer with a now I just got myself a 5 by 5 bull elk in idaho from under 10 yards it was legitimately changing me! I had to shoot a frontal which I have never done before It died in it's tracks.

@Daden He became a annoying bratty little twat, he was once good. When the guy doesn't know how to tell the difference between, a bluegill or a green sunfish. Does these stupid unnecessary "Challanges" I lost interest very quickly.

Best fishing channel on KZbin. No stupid 5 minute intro, Photoshopped thumbnail, or telling me to like and subscribe. Just fishing. Plus no DUMB music

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Love how when he releases the smallies they turn and splash him each time with their tails

[@craziivideos1310]

This guy created his own wave in the youtube fishing scene. Other channels are so focused on being hype, they forget what fishing is about: scenery and wildlife. Hope more channels follow in his footsteps of being true to himself.

[@colejk67]

Still amazes me how cool these videos are to watch. Same species, same fishing method.. everyone of them unique. An absolute sniper when it comes to casting. 👍

[@steveo6512]

I agree, I watch Matt for the same reason. He really is a top shot angler and a joy to watch. Even for me in New Zealand.

[@hanzelman1963]

Nice guy who sent you the Lure.It did the job very wel ! Nice video!

[@variable303]

We should all just start sending Matt random household items to see if he can catch fish with it, like a pen cap, paper clip, or spork.

[@larryvilla6869]

I'll make a lego lure and send it to him

[@bogi2557]

Sunfishes are gigantic

[@differentfins]

Haha funny because it's true. I like fishing for everything, sunfish to sturgeon, and a 10" bluegill to me is just as exciting as a 40" esox. Also I am guilty of watching youtubers like 618 fishing and Extreme Philly Fishing which are full of hype and clickbaiting but I started watching them before all that junk. NDyakangler channel is simple and subtle, very refreshing. No need for the hype, fake excitement and clickbait. I fully understand how annoying some channels can be.

[@bogi2557]

Different Fins true. I don’t have much to brag about when it comes to fishing. I mostly fish in saltwater, and my biggest catch was a 6,5 lb pollock

[@differentfins]

@@bogi2557 gotta start somewhere! 6.5 pounds isnt exactly a minnow. It's weird how the trophies will show up when you least expect it. Keep your line wet, cheers!

[@lbarcelow_fishing]

All the smallies he caught today are all bigger than my pb🤣😭

[@larryvilla6869]

How big is your pb I'm not going to judge definitely a hard fish to catch Also if you have lake smallmouth id reccomended using the tactical bassin swimbait heads with some chartreuse and blue paddle tail swimbaits in 3.8-4.2 size I caught my 4.25 pound pb on one this year!

[@albinoblacksheep7826]

I live in South Africa so they extremely rare but I have caught one, the size of my hand, which is my pb. Lol

You are hands down my favorite youtuber. Id love to see you do some traveling and fishing other states. Mabey fish larg mouth, trout, fresh water, anything! Thanks for keeping me entertained. Keep this up and you will be at several million subs

[@differentfins]

Homemade lure? Looks as high quality as any production lure in the stores. So satisfying catching a fish on a lure you've made.

[@6412mars]

Besides enjoying the heck out of the catches...something strangely satisfying with the sound of the hook extraction..lol

[@andrewc4601]

[@AjLynn45thParallelFishing]

This type of brown bass topwater action is always fun to watch - and that quiet, pristine habitat always cleanses the soul. Nicely Done

[@doster59]

Boy, that was fun! Love watching you fish for smallies and squirrels! Really cool that you're trying those lures.

[@charlesr.aliffjr.4050]

Same here, I was dead in the middle, up to my eyeballs in something here at work and received notification that NDYakAngler had posted a new video...all work stopped. Just finished watched yet another amazing smallmouth video. Smallmouth fishing is primarily all I fish for so Matt's videos are greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Love the sound of the paddle going through the water...10X better than loud, obnoxious music. PS- this is funny. A good fishing buddy in Florida just texted me Matt had just posted another video : > )

[@rvmcwhorter]

Simply the best . This fishery is phenomenal. That one cast got 4 big blasts !! Insane !!

I so look forward to unwinding with the awesomeness of you and your fishing adventures. 💕🐟🙂

[@mikec.7283]

“Will it catch?” 😂😂 of course it will! He caught fish with Chewie. He can catch fish with anything that has a hook. Maybe even without a hook, like Richard Gene going after gar. Love this channel-keep the great content coming!

[@BMWSRR-yd6do]

Smallies the greatest fun fish to catch....They can be found in any and every water condition, weather condition and structure condition... Hidden bank smallies with top water bait - fantastic...

[@jaronpierce211]

By far the only fishing videos I watch anymore. You're so graceful and genuine and it's just a pleasure to tag along with you. Keep it up man!

In your "Grandpa's old mouse" video you said that someday you hoped to catch fish like grandpa......I have the same memories, but someday I hope to be catching small mouth just like YOU....this summer we started camping on a river that's very similar to the one you fish.....low, ultra clear water, loaded full of smallies......but they're fished a lot and extremely hard " for me" to catch.....but I'm taking notes with every video.....so glad I found you
