You create the most relaxing fishing videos I've ever watched. I enjoy listening to your voice and your fishing skills are excellent. Nothing more enjoyable on a Sunday morning than watching your videos with a cup of hot coffee. Well, except maybe fishing. Lol

I don't know English but your content is so amazing that I had my son type this out for me. I'm from Turkey, İstanbul and whenever I have free time I go fishing myself. You're so good at what you do and I've seen basically all of your videos. Your content is superb, keep it up! okay now its his son speaking, my dad is awesome and i go fishing with him sometimes too. your content is relaxing and he likes it so so much, i hope you read this and i hope it'll make you happy. keep up the great work

[@ndyakangler]

Thank you that’s awesome the two of you enjoy my videos and share the love of fishing! The memories you make spending quality time together will always be with both of you.

selam, kanalı ben de yeni keşfettim harbiden babanın da dediği gibi çok güzel bir kanal. balığa nereye gidiyorsunuz istanbul'da? :)

[@jimmycaldwell8099]

Your releasing of the fish is so respectful and professional. ✌️👍

[@essneaks]

The smooth voice, the care for the fish and nature, no sponsors, just a man and his fishing pole 🤌🏽. Absolutely love this channel . I just started fishing myself, so i can definitely appreciate his naming of every thing he uses with non biased opinions.

[@plurmph_hamwrangler]

This is why I watch him. I would much rather watch this soothing, calm, straight forward approach to his vids. I read on another vid someone called him him "The Bob Ross of Fishing" and I couldn't agree more.

[@zhoup2006]

The accuracy of casting is amazing. Glad to see a new fishing video on a windy, cold, rainy Sunday morning...

[@colejk67]

IKR! This guy is an absolute sniper!

[@MtnXfreeride]

Right... went with my son and the wind was awful in Maine

[@GIBBO4182]

No intro…straight to the action!

[@patrickwilk6342]

I grew up fishing in northern MN, Hackensack - Walker area. Every summer from age 10 to 20, I would travel up there from the Chicago area with family. Then, life took me in other directions. Its now over 60 years later. I like watching your channel because it brings back so many memories. I've seen so many lakes, like the ones you fish. I will never forget the early morning fog, a slight breeze that develops around 9 am, the smell of pines in the breeze and then the bright sun. Thank you for taking me back.

[@LastRODbender]

You have the most gentle fish release ever. I’ve adopted your method myself. Thx.

[@ndyakangler]

It’s mostly just me trying to get a good clean release shot lol, but I like to be gentle with the fish too.

[@cgandy2]

Matt, great content as usual. So glad you are honest with us about fishing 4-5 hours with not much to show for your time but then you switched to the frog and made some magic. Lots of fisherman online just show the highlight reel and it makes it seem like they are always catching fish but you reveal the reality that it takes work to put together great content like this video.

[@johnconnell9836]

. Matt, that lake reminds me a bunch of Beauty Lake in Todd County, Minnesota. My mom's brother had a cabin on it when i was growing up. The shoreline was choked up with Lillypads and wild rice. Back in the 1970s, that lake held huge bass and pike. bluegills too!

[@patrickharrison4763]

Same, it's nice to see and honest fishing show. I once met someone who worked on some of the older fishing shows and a lot of those guys would spend a week on a lake and place all that footage to make it seem like one day!

[@TheKevgray1]

I've commented before, I'm from England, never fished before and my Son who lives in Portland Maine took me to a pond. Caught 2 small mouth, one of the best days of my life. Your videos take me back there. Thank you Sir .

[@Patrick-p6u]

It’s the best past time for sure!

[@trevorprzepiora7926]

I can't thank you enough for tossing your big ones on the scale. So many youtuber fisherman eyeball everything, and would have said that was a 6 pounder at least. Like my dad always says, "it don't count as anything if you don't weigh it".

[@liamkingsbury7438]

I love how you fish almost exclusively topwater baits. It’s the most fun to watch and it immerses the viewer with a feeling of the bite. Keep it up!👍

[@ndyakangler]

During the summer months I pretty much always fish topwater, sometimes I'll switch to a jig or worm if I go a couple hours without any action but usually I can find something willing to bite. The footage is just so much more exciting with some good topwater strikes!

[@scorpionking722]

I never fished with top water lures in my life, until I started watching your channel ! Thank you for showing me the tips and tricks on those ! I have a small pond near my home where Largemouth Bass lives and all I was catching was 9-10" fish and then one day I caught a 14" on a flopper popper and I was so excited about it !

[@ndyakangler]

That’s awesome! Sometimes topwater is great for getting the attention of those bigger fish!

[@Pumany]

Where was this video taken at? Would love to hook into some pigs like that!

[@eldoonaaktheraven5258]

I'm mostly happy with small fish, but to catch a giant is a great feeling.

[@jimmymanjenson]

Every day is a good day when NDyakangler uploads

[@mmetalhead2992]

Love your videos and I like how you respect the fish. I see some channels skid the fish across the water and then chuck them back in the water like trash.

[@harrygrimley4352]

Yes!! Loading my kayaks In ten minutes after I have my coffee. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@jean-micheldesbordes5756]

Whether it's pike, musky or bass, it's always a blast to watch your videos. Beautiful fish, great environment. Thanks for sharing. You deserve what you get.

[@ramseyfisher7506]

[@MrGeroth]

This brought back a lot of memories. For 30+ years I fished with a co-worker every Friday after work. We fished at night because of the hot weather here in the Midwest, Missouri. We always fished for large mouth bass, but later added crappie. Thanks for sharing.

[@puvlea83]

When one legend passes another is born. You're the *Bob Ross* of fishing, and I wouldn't change 1 thing man. I love your calm, raw approach. You show how just getting out is the true beauty of fishing.

[@raygarcia5609]

I'm a huge topwater guy. something about the frog strike just gets my blood pumping and nerves racing, especially in such a setting. dude, I don't know how you can contain yourself? And not that its really needed, because you do everything just fine on your own, but in such cases like seen at 9:40, man I wish you had a cameraman who could zoom in on that blowup! that daRn near looked like someone threw a huge rock in that water! the vid just doesn't do it justice for the untrained eye. Awesome job as always!

[@GLepage74]

Ik someone says it every video, you are really the Bob Ross of fishing! You are the reason I got into fishing along with my other outdoor hobbies. I came home from college this weekend and my farther and I caught our first 15+ inch smallie. Thank you NDYakAngler!

[@chrisfrench8323]

Very nice day. Beautiful. Nice change...fishing among the water lilies.

We went out yesterday and caught some walleye (finally), more crappies and even the smallies heated up. Hopefully its a sign they are putting the feedbag on and we will have a fun mid to late fall.

I love your videos! Other than what everyone else says about you that they like, which I also like, I love that when you release the fish, you pause for a few seconds. It’s very unique and adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the video.

I always pause for 2-3 seconds after release for editing purposes, easier to fade into the next clip if I’m not moving my head all over with the hat cam.

[@davidpalumbo562]

I am a big fan of Teckel frogs and the bait maker is a great guy, he even sent me stickers for my kayak and boat. I’ve caught tons on the Sprinker frog and the hookup ratio is higher than any other frog. I’ve even had my catches posted on his Instagram account, great video as always 👍🏻

I have a sprinker frog too I plan on fishing next year. I think that one would be great early summer when the pads aren’t nearly as thick yet, more water for it to kick its legs around in.
