Ice Fishing Big Bait Pike And Bass!

[@htuckey]

Ahhh! Just when things were looking bleak, here's Matt with new content to brighten my day! At 83, I can't get out to experience it myself, but I really enjoy it through your lens! Thanks for being this old guy's link to brighter days!

[@toddsgreatoutdoors4226]

Totally! I enjoy watching others catch fish when I can't get out there. It's almost like being there.

Can always rely on Matt to post good fishing content when no one else is

[@smelltheglove2038]

What, you don't think Randy Blaukat complaining about ffs and then selling lures designed for that style of fishing by calling them "game changing" is top teir content?

[@dougaranda6187]

What a nice surprise to see this pop up!

[@antoniomora1255]

Although my country (Spain) is too warm for ice fishing I found this video most enjoyable. Big bass and pike that put up powerful fights. Certainly a most interesting afternoon.

[@daveofthewoods3133]

That bass immediately taking the wax worm made my day. Nothing more satisfying than a successful bait change!

[@travispatrick2380]

Underwater video is great to see! Another quality video by my favorite fisherman on yt

[@bobrich1950]

Great to see you back Matt !! Hoping 2025 brings you peace, good health, and prosperity !

[@kylesaric3652]

Love the ice fishing content. The underwater camera makes it really entertaining

[@feanor311]

As a resident of the American South East, ice fishing is something that I've never been close to experiencing. Thanks for letting me enjoy vicariously from the comfort of my home!

[@wanginintheworld7524]

Make a trip and try it! It's a blast. 🤣

[@markbrophy554]

When life gives you lemons (winter), make lemonade (go ice fishing)!!! Thanks for the content!!! Stay warm!

[@joev.8543]

Nice that we finally got some decent ice. Thanks for the vid.

[@sparkymann4159]

Missed seeing your vids. Keep up the great content. Good day on the ice.

[@MWGUY-bo4ku]

Dude I love your content favourite fishing channel to watch honestly feel every other channel I try to watch just doesn’t hit the same been a fan for 4 years now so honoured to watch these gems everyday!!

[@Aidan_Eh]

this was sooooooo therapeutic to watch Matt... thx for posting an allowing me to tag along 😎👍.. Buh Bye from Central Canada 👋🤓

[@alexmac7359]

“Holy smokes, holy smokes, you got a dandy” 😂 Lololol the north and their fun way of talking

[@realineable]

we are guilting of that, but that pike is far from a dandy

[@copperheadranch6466]

I try and get up to my place in northern Minnesota every now and then during the winter to do just this. So much fun as long as I have a shelter and a heater or three. Thanks for sharing!

[@telecatsermaster]

Awesome vid. Drag peeling out is the greatest sound ever.

[@clearlyepic9958]

I work in the cold, I don’t play in the cold… I don’t ice fish, but I’d be happy to watch you do it.😜

[@smelltheglove2038]

For real. I can't stand being cold. And wet.

[@snekheadfishing]

Im all about open water topwater and soft plastic but it's refreshing to see Matt's yearly ice fishing and cat fishing videos

[@JamesWagner-w9n]

I don’t like ice fishing but. I do ❤watching you catch angry pike through the ice 😂. Always a blast seeing you fish. Can’t wait till you’re back out on your kayak catching small mouth on top water.

[@bennovak4182]

Oh thank God a new video! I've been thru the whole NDyakangler library..been watching Jon B videos...God help me... Welcome back Matt! Thank you for another great video!

[@Bamainjc]

No offense to ice fishing but I'm already looking forward to spring and that first river smallie. Glad to see you back Matt

[@justsomeromanwithinternetacces]

Felt that, I dont have balls big enough to walk on ice

[@thomasmetzger9234]

That's what she said 😂​@@justsomeromanwithinternetacces

[@dumstuf]

Same

[@dumstuf]

Just got a new pike setup some I've been waiting for spring

[@TheNodontdoit]

This was actually the first year I was more pumped for ice content. I learn a lot watching Matt and I’m out on the ice for the first season 😅

[@johnweber2247]

MattI hope your "greatest hits" from last summer videos come out in a series. You could do best of by species or by month. We have a lot of Winter left and what ever you throw together would be appreciated. Your skills at fishing and videoing are unparalleled. Thanks!!

[@irkjustice5600]

Been a minute! Good to see a new video. Thanks for taking us along!

[@tylercaskey1931]

I have been awaiting. It's here. Thanks Matt!

[@Eightpoundtest]

Nice pike. It's fun when they run with your line and thankfully your line held. Thanks for sharing.

[@6thmichcav262]

You, sir, are a mad lad running straight mono for pike! I’ve landed a few on ice and soft water without a leader, but the tipups all get a steel leader.

[@stevethetrainbuff5718]

10 seconds ago another great fishing video! This what got me into fishing and i never stopped! Stay safe on the ice

[@FishBaysidePerspective]

Very nice kind of fish, they're beautiful.

[@fatsidekick]

Underwater camera was awesome!

[@2199SPUDMAN]

You'd think that ice fishing would even the odds against Matt, but the guy STILL manages to out-fish his buddies! 🤣 Just as a gag, I'd love to see Matt paddle his kayak onto the lake, flip a Whopper Plopper through the hole under the ice, and pull up a musky.

[@dietwaffles5907]

This is AWESOME! I've never caught a big pike and I've never gone ice fishing. I'm still pretty new to fishing, and I really really want to get a big ol' pike. Great video man!

[@GLepage74]

Great to see the first upload of the year!

[@jibbymcbeet]

Love seeing the old timers out there

[@shepardsonp]

Underwater footage was sweet! 👋

[@Triple87]

I haven’t even seen ice thick enough to fish on yet. People think Canada is the arctic, but here in southern Ontario it’s been warm. We’re just getting consistent cold temperatures now. 😴

[@ndyakangler]

We had about a foot of ice here, even saw a couple vehicles drive out! I think ND/MN is the coldest area in the US.

[@Triple87]

@@ndyakangler Yeah you guys are more similar to the prairies in Canada. My brother in law is from Wisconsin, you guys are all further north than I am. Cold weather will be here to stay for a while tho, so I’ll get out. 😂

[@Smiththebat]

I know it’s brutal. Gotta pretty far up there to get any decent ice. My lake is part of the Trent Severn too so there’s always a current and usually bad ice.

[@Triple87]

@@Smiththebat I’m in between Erie and Ontario. This cold snap will help out for sure. Currently have the snow squall generators in full effect. Hopefully they get enough ice this year. Some Erie perch would be nice. 😂

[@Crustaceanking50]

Finally! I’m gong ice fishing for some crappie and walleye today and As soon as I saw the notification you posted I rushed to KZbin

[@skoli55]

Great video. You should do one with the best catches of 2024.

[@seanallen5936]

Good one, Matt...that camera footage is especially amazing!

[@jacobm8191]

God bless you. I always look forward to your videos after a long day.

[@BDWoodruffmusic]

A wonderful surprise this morning to have a new video from you. Happy New Year, Matt!

[@kirkgorte128]

Pike thru the ice, nice ! Waiting for my hometown river to freeze so I can get some wallys

[@theoldsceptic9976]

Haven't ice fished in a long time but you sure make it appealing😊

[@northwestlife_9]

Best fishing channel I've ever found. This one is one of the best ND Yak vids ever...so far.

[@truebalsamhogs]

Thanks. Underwater camera footage is interesting. I’ve always wondered how much sunlight filters through that snow covered ice. Well done.

[@puppy2haley]

Love ice fishing & the cold. Spring will come soon enough. 😂. Matt is back in action. 👍👍👍

[@greggdsciotto8952]

I really like the underwater video! A Happy New Year to you and your family Matt, I hope it's a healthy and prosperous one 😎

[@markwalker994]

Was just telling my son we should be seeing an ice fishing video any day. 😂Been having to watch old videos for awhile.

[@TheRiverAddict]

Looked like a great day. Good work guys.

[@eric1richards]

Great video! Glad to see some ice fishing action.

[@rickmasseur2008]

Great to see you back at it, Matt!

[@raydalton1110]

insane footage bro, my fav is starting @15:45 the bass is like hmmm am i that hungry for such a small meal lol, do more of these camera ice fishing, its awesome shots

[@NicholasMurray-f1p]

Was so sad thinking I was having to wait for a new video, but here we are ❤️

[@fs6622]

This is the BEST fishing channel hands down. But to be honest, I only watched the highlights. I hate the cold and the ice and the snow. Just getting too old for that. COME ON SPRING! Nice catches today though!!!🥰

[@ndyakangler]

I get a couple ice fishing trips in and I’m ready for spring! It’s just boring to me staring at a hole in the ice all day. I have a bunch of footage from last summer I’m going to start posting though.

[@richman61]

Excellent day I'd say. Very nice fish. Thank you.

[@ThatTopwaterBite]

What a great day! You must have gotten your 10,000 steps going from hole to hole haha. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@ejsman36]

Can't believe you throw those pike back when ice fishing! Pefect eating size and freshwater fish are always the best out of the ice! I'm right next to the St.Lawrence river up in Northeast NY, can see Canada out of my living room window. The best fish up here come out of the ice. Hardly anyone keeps fish during the summer because of the parasites and other things growing in them when the water warms up. The cold season is when fish expell those things and get better oxygenated water to cleanes their systems, which in turn a better eating fish. Grew up with freezers full of winter caught fish filets eating them doing fish fry parties and clam bakes during the summer.

[@ndyakangler]

I had to pick up my daughter immediately after I got off the ice and I don’t think she’s quite ready to watch me cut up a bunch of fish yet lol

[@bassinmike8478]

That camera footage is so amazing. You got me excited for ice fishing here in Northern Illinois. Just waiting on some safe ice awesome video as always.

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

awsome video Matt, i love the ice fishing videos hope you do more🎣

[@altus8312]

The underwater camera is AWESOME

[@bobdixon532]

I'm looking forward to the walleye spawning run to start. The river I fish has been altered by Helene, and there are eight new log and debris piles sitting in the shallows in the middle of the river. God only knows what the underwater structure looks like. Weeks when you don't post a video are a drag. I was excited to see this one pop up in my feed. Looks like a good day.

[@georgepsomos7726]

Great video, Matt! Those fish kept you guys hopping!

[@Kodysbackwoodsbasics]

I wish I had an ice season right now. You just made me want to get out even more. This back and forth weather in PA hasn't allowed us to have any good ice yet

[@mhoude36]

You caught more fish in the 1st minute of the video then i have all ice season! 😂

[@AntCar-z4s]

Was afraid I wouldn’t see you until spring. Ice fishing bonus!!! How think is that ice Matt?

[@ndyakangler]

We had about a foot of ice.

[@jimmykav44]

Love it, great video, Matt. Some awesome catches out there. Really need this cold to stick around to actually make some ice around here and hopefully it sticks. I’ve been itching to get out

[@Yellowbear0]

I did not know this guy did ice fishing thats so cool

[@ericackerman9674]

Nice to see you back at it Matt. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@KirkAllenOutdoorAdventures]

Nice Job Matt, I'm waiting for ice to get thick enough in New Jersey. Gonna try ice fishing for the first time this year. Love your content.

[@callingallbassmorgan339]

Dude ice fishing looks like so much fun and that camera action is money!

[@huskergator9479]

Beautiful fish, beautiful sound of peeling drag…awesome episode. Thanks for taking us along.

So jealous. Patiently waiting for ice in northern Indiana !!

[@JaySunfish]

That’s awesome how you have a camera down there, so we can see the fish in action!

[@kristerrajandu]

you're lucky there, there's ice, we have a non-existent winter here in Estonia

[@josephrottman4057]

Another great video. Thanks, Matt!

[@JenkinsB]

Heck yea man, great day out there

[@patrickhartman6818]

Nice video Matt. But I don't do ice fishing anymore. Lol in Arkansas now but lived 30 years in Michigan.

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

16:45 the bass don't appear to be biting light, they are slamming em. Much respect from Minnesota 🍀

[@the2060ish]

The dreaded ice fishing is back.. Great catch sad cant see the pike fight the hook. 👍👍🥶

[@ndyakangler]

I thought about dropping the cam next to my tipup hole but those big suckers swim around too much. There’s a slim chance they’d stay in view of the camera with a fish eyeing them.

[@timregan1005]

you guys did better fishing on the ice than i do mid summer

[@Agile47509chicken]

Happy new year Matt!

[@burneracc2567]

Quality video as always!! I don't think I'll be ice fishing any time soon, it's still too warm, ice is only about half an inch thick where I live and I don't think it will get any thicker in my life time so it's nice to see something fairly new to me. Man I just love seeing them goofy bass under water and mean old pike!

[@boredwarlock5216]

Duuuuude the underwater camera is SICK

[@Kltpzyxm17]

Howdy Matt! Great underwater shots!

[@HeidiWohlbier]

Enjoyed the video, keep them coming

[@brianathern9154]

Great video and action on the ice. I'll take it and we're getting safe ice in the Chicago burbs just in time for the outdoor show season. I'd take live action first for $200 please. You, Jacob and the crew had a blast with some nice pike and bass. Happy New Year Matt and blessings
