Stinging Bass With A Wasp Lure!

[@DanKoning777]

Matt, let me say that you deserve every one of the 476k subs you have, and more. I've been looking for more channels like yours for a while-those without the excessive talking, hype, background music, and cussing, etc-I've yet to find any. NDYakAngler = the "calm excitement" of fishing. Don't change and keep em' coming.

[@dewlap1189]

i agree w u completely. i love ndyakangler. although i will say naspeltz makes amazing videos too. he fishes w matt sometimes too. very calm similar style content.

[@kerbygator]

Saturday morning coffee, along with some small mouth fishing .

[@matthewotis3594]

And 6" of snow. Nice.

[@rapala555]

👏🏻

[@killakurt6211]

What a great way to start a Saturday morning

[@tbone5426]

A dog, a couch, youtube, a beverage and the Bob Ross of fishing lulling me into dreams of summer...as a middle aged man, thats perfect..

[@irkjustice5600]

Awesome! Cold, snowy, and windy today where I live. Glad to see your video!

[@heinrichbier4759]

Same here! Watching from Ontario canada

[@Bassmastahflex]

Same lol but this video was in October so probably same for him as well

[@skydiver6711]

I had a fairly rough day today and then I came home and opened KZbin and saw you had another video here. I watched it and the tension of the day just melted away. Thanks for the wonderful fishing trip.

[@akuma6446]

Your videos are so relaxing and calming. Big fan, keep up the amazing videos and catch some monsters!

[@jasonsebrasky9756]

"Howdy Everyone" is your trademark phrase Matt. The day you don't do it , I will cry. 😂 Always enjoy your content. Your probably out ice fishing right now, but I really enjoy the kayak adventures. Take care my friend. Best Regards, Jason from Indiana 🤘🇺🇸

[@leodude5118]

Your videos are the most relaxing and highly interesting videos in the fishing sphere. Every video is highly appreciated and anticipated 🙏❤

[@jjsfitnessgoals4898]

Just went kayak fishing and now I can enjoy watching kayak fishing

[@ifacecheck]

Man I can't wait for the weather to turn back to warm again. Great looking lure too.

[@Tmkowal123]

Working on my tackle and watching you. Nothing better than this.🤘

[@ceasard34]

This is my go to only fishing channel to watch when I am not able to get the line wet myself awesome I can feel the set practically

[@PaulManzone]

Man I love your videos! I know your winters aren't very fun, but those sunny days alone on the water, priceless

[@rayflynn7942]

I'm fully convinced that you can catch fish with Anything! 😂

[@alphonsenormand9552]

Pretty much ! I've seen videos where bass were caught on lures made from things like women's earrings and one lure made from some aluminum beer can tabs and they BOTH caught fish ! 🤔

[@Kane23333]

Hi Matt, I've been watching your videos for two years, and I’m so excited to see you using the same lure I bought a few months ago to catch bass. I never had a chance to try that bee lure myself. Fish like bass are too rare in the wild waters of China. What I often do is visit a nearby commercial lure base where you can fish for bass using a rental kayak in a large beautiful lake. I use tiny plastic lures (1.5 inches) and tiny Texas hooks to catch them because many of these fish have been caught before and are now very cautious. Anyway, thank you for your videos. It’s always nice to watch your video on the weekend.

[@geraldduncan5646]

You’re wonderfully so well organized while in your kayak. Plus you keep your camera focused on the subject most often on the, fish. Well Done, young man!👍 And

[@huskergator9479]

The water and trees are beautiful. You can feel the sun later in the video. The midwesterners know what i mean about cherishing the waning sun. Excellent as always Matt! Nice find on the lure, too.

[@Show_T1meYT]

The only thing getting me through the Wisconsin winter

[@Luhbraindead]

About two weeks ago before all of this cold, I was messing largemouth and smallmouth and being mouthy with suspending Derik be in Ponds in se Wi. Now all iced hahaha

[@ub6ilb975]

Beautiful Fall Day! Great Video!

[@antoniomora1255]

Beautiful scenery. At time 11:47 those trees with their yellow leaves are gorgeous.

[@StiglersChannel-of9rz]

love ur vids bro keep up the great work.

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

Always love your videos ❤. For a non-JDM topwater that looks real, this stuff slams for bass. Love it!

[@AntCar-z4s]

With some snow overnight this was a very welcome surprise. Thanks Matt!

[@andrewmarsden1970]

Nice to see some October sun. Reminder better weather is coming again in a few weeks.

[@htuckey]

Kind of a downer day - dismantling and storing the Christmas tree, looking forward to a dull couple of months of snow and slush, and along comes Matt to cheer me up! I really appreciate your style of fishing, and your video editing skills! Still hoping and praying your daughter is okay. I'm looking forward to a video where you take her out to meet those smallies. Thanks for what you're doing here, it really does make a difference!

[@harrygrimley4352]

Very nice. A pleasant suprise. Thanks for sharing this with us

[@thatfishingnoob]

Heeecccckkkk yeah! This was a fun trip. Good stuff Matt.

[@waltersteffensthezr2man431]

Excellent video for Saturday morning 🐝🐟

[@markg1490]

Wasp with a stinger. Nice video. Thank you for sharing

[@mikewhidden5356]

Love the show, my friend and that bait has a reallyfantastic action. Definitely would like to try that myself, here in Florida!

[@buffoonoutdoors]

Looks like such a peaceful time out there. Beautiful.

[@FREDOGISFUUN]

Even without a bite, a beautiful fall day on the water (for us in January is even better at a computer screen) lol

[@GregStegner-nc2vj]

I love this guy - he's the fishing equivalent of Bob Ross, it's fun to watch

[@Glock-1]

Glad to see another video brother!

[@jackalope5589]

I think it’s so funny how the tops of these more unique topwater lures ( wich the fish don’t see ) are more designed to catch fishermen than fish 🎣 😂😂😂 another great video matt to chill out to ( no pun intended) while I eagerly await pre spawn ✌️🇺🇸

[@mikecollins2476]

That really does have good action. I've tried some mini crawlers before but they're always kind of a disspointment might have to try these. Those fish were hammering it.

[@smelltheglove2038]

Duo realis makes a really good cicada crawler similar to this. The bass smash it. I use a spinning outfit when i fish it. Get more distance casting.

[@thims1961]

Looks like a knock off Heddon Crazy Crawler! I wonder how the Old Bass Favourite Lure of your Grandfather would do? ya know Arbogast Jitter Bug, Hula Popper, buzz plug. Heddon River Runt, Crazy Crawler, Meadow Mouse. Doug Hannon's Snake Bait

[@heinrichbier4759]

Those super light top waters sometimes cast better with a spinning rod in my experience but I also would prefer a bait caster like you.

[@brianathern9154]

Thanks Matt. Always appreciate a topwater insect lure bite. This one appears to be the reel deal. Just left the Tinley Park IL fishing show after buying some baits and dreaming of warmer weather bites. Ah.....blessings brother

[@PVrtonicuni]

I absolutely needed this today! Thanks for the great video.

[@jtoth1234summer]

Love your videos, but I have fished the jitterbug for 60 years and never take it off my topwater rod.... great 👍 video as always.

[@dougaranda6187]

Nice! Another unexpected surprise. Gonna do any more ice fishing trips?

[@tayloralexis1504]

Even the moving rivers were I live are covered in ice

[@mexicawarrior5547]

Great fishing Andy more fishing videos please have a nice places❤

[@Bamainjc]

Damn, thought I slept thru winter and it was spring already

[@danieltaylor9459]

lol 😂 I looked at the thumbnail and was like…no way Dakotas/Min looks like that right now.

[@markseetram4585]

I enjoy your videos. I used to live in Minnesota, Burnsville Minnesota fish many of the lakes there. Prior Lake Spring Lake Carl's lake. My favorite was lake o'dowmy biggest bass was 611, some of the lakes you fish in your video looks very familiar to me. Keep on fishing, I'll see you soon.When I move back to minnesota l o l

[@mochachinolatte4397]

Looks good! cool lure. Anything works vs the hungry.

[@bobrich1950]

4. 2 grams is just a smidge over an 1/8 oz. Pretty light to throw on a baitcaster. But i know you can Matt. I have a couple of reels that could handle it as well. Did i see you make a left handed throw at the 8:20 mark ?? Ambidexterous as well as a great fisherman. Of course. lol

[@timroot4207]

Thank you !!!

[@mjdiiii]

The only way to be sure the top water bite is over, is to see your lure bouncing off ice!

[@MrSeanWesty]

Topwater bites are so much fun but damn if they don’t give you a mini heart attack 😂

[@antoninanderson2015]

Always good to see your video's

[@hughalton6512]

That first one said “Y’all whippersnappers got off my grass!”

[@pauldockins9635]

Thank you for 🎣sharing experience.

[@Jett-h4p]

I love your videos

[@williamhenderson9535]

Lol - I'm convinced that whatever lure you use, from rats to birds to wasps, you will catch something!!!

[@English_MoFo]

Man I’d love to go fishing today but it’s cold in Tampa, 60 degrees and windy. Already had breakfast delivered 👍🏻

[@lusciouslunk]

Warmer than here in Ocala! The catfish bite is still hitting hard, but I’ve had no luck with bass Look out for the crappie spawn too!

[@ob20again37]

You should try the OSP bent minnow! I use it in australia for our bass :)

[@TheRustedHook]

Enjoy your posts..That little wasp lure is just a Heddon Crazy-crawler with a paint job.. Go with the original...That one is just trying to reinvent the wheel....10000's of fish have been caught on C.Crawlers....Good stuff..Enjoy !

[@southsideronnie]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@stonefly69]

Great vid, NDYak! I do have to tell you that I flinch a little every time you use those pliers with no pin-on! Yikes!

[@randallmarsh1187]

This reminds me of something Bill Dance (I think?) said many years ago, "the vast majority of lures aren't made to attract fish but are instead made to attract fisherman"!

[@adriansalvador6600]

Another beautiful video to start my mornings! Do you use any CPL/ND filters? and what shutter speed are you using

[@ndyakangler]

I record in 1080/30/W on my GoPro and use a polarized filter.

[@adriansalvador6600]

@@ndyakangler All of your videos have a very pleasing and cinematic motion blur and I can watch them all day long. Do you tweak your shutter speed at all? or do you leave everything in automatic?

[@tphvictims5101]

Kingdom tackle makes a BFS reel called the micro monster. Just got it in the mail. Drag is kinda STIFF for BFS use.

[@TAK-1127]

Maybe this lure is intended more for a bfs set up? Another great video regardless. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Strykenine]

October...in January!

[@richardhoule7570]

Matt!! Great morning . You worked that wasp real fine ,Looked so real Here I thought you would have been ice fishing. But it looks warm where your fishing?

[@caysonw7489]

It’s wrong that you can catch so many fish on these crazy lures

its crazy how much smallmouth fight

[@harrysearia1784]

Beautiful smallies

[@GageDrums]

He's back!

[@dee6338]

Thats a interesting lure

[@roguemanoutdoors]

That's some good fishing

[@banjohappy]

Similar lure to the Heddon crazy crawler, both are great surface plugs.

[@hangwaybaby5777]

Nice new vid drop

[@izzlate]

Nice smallies! I think that 2nd one might have a concussion. :-D Is that a toxic alge bloom! (We get those alot in my area)

[@ndyakangler]

This lake always has some green algae. Lots of farms nearby. I don’t think it’s the toxic type, but I try not to touch my lunch out of the wrapper lol.

[@theadd_gamer1182]

Hows the Ice fishing so Far?

[@ndyakangler]

I haven’t had much time to get out on the ice this year dealing with lawyers and a custody battle.

[@pepesucks9271]

How did you manage to cast a tiny lure with a baitcaster

It's probably a BFS baitcasting reel...designed to throw light lures

Haha it does kind of look like the earths curvature in the background!

Haven't caught my 1st fish of 2025 yet. Hopefully next weekend because it's snowing today.
