I love the fact that there’s no one yelling “let’s go dude” after every catch.

[@matthewirish5755]

This 1,000%

[@smoothestbassist7086]

and no generic royalty-free music, no sponsor shout outs, no obvious trust fund kid van life nonsense. best fishing channel on YT by FAR

Yo!!!! That was craaaaaaazy!!!

It’s -30 below here in Vermont this morning, so I REALLY appreciate this summertime video!!

The birds chirping, the sound of the reel casting, the top water blow ups. Man what a peaceful environment! Absolutely love your videos. Literally the highlight of my Saturday/Sunday mornings!

Frogs are hard to beat.

Right??? They’re sick.

Amen, brother

By far my favorite fishing channel.

For sure. He’s the Bob Ross of fishing.

[@chiefskittlez1690]

The Bob Ross of fishing. Awesome speaking voice so calm and peaceful

[@zachjones1716]

This is my favorite kind of fishing. Bass with the floating frog lure. They love em

[@ndyakangler]

Same here, although it’s a tough call for favorite between frog fishing largemouth and whopper plopping some river smallies. I suppose any kind of topwater fishing if I’m catching them I’m having a blast!

[@FishMan-gw2or]

-31 degrees here in north eastern Utah. Stoked to have coffee and a top water video before heading to the office on a Saturday morning. Right on brotha you’re one of the realest most humble you tube fishermen!!! Can’t wait for the open water to come back in a couple Months!!!

[@georgefernandez2333]

This man must save so much energy getting fish to tow him around the lake like that 🤣. I can watch these videos all day.

[@ncdave4]

I love those aggressive bass when you let them go.. "Catch ME will yah?" SPLAP SPLASH...

[@elirocha8548]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@wallacebell4311]

It’s been awhile since your last video. I was starting to wonder if you were ok or not. I always look forward to your next video because it feels like I am along for a ride in your kayak.

[@bobrich1950]

Plus there's no BS music playing louder than all get out constantly. Love the solitude on these.

[@johnwilkesbooth2582]

its cause its winter and the fishing gets terribly slow

[@wallacebell4311]

Matt would normally post a video almost every Saturday even during the Winter but it would have been video that he shot during the warm weather months.

[@p46_rs]

@Wallace Bell true but I remember him mentioning in a recent video that him and his girlfriend recently moved and have had work going on at the new house. That could be part of it? Just speculation, of course.

[@307Smallmouth]

This is exactly what I needed on a winters day in western Wyoming!!

[@CatchReleaseRepeat]

More videos like this Matt! It's always cool to watch you landing giants, but it's just as fun watching you pick your way through all the small fish too. Common denominator here isn't the size of the fish you're catching for us, it's that you took us along with you.

[@rgarlinyc]

Very relaxing to watch you fish, calmly, peacefully and completely free of inane whoops! or the like. You did catch some good looking bass there and your pal's lake is a wonderful possession!

[@tbone5426]

Reminds me of being a kid with my uncle..2 hours of quiet fishing in a small tin boat with a 10hp..nothing but peaceful quiet with the exceptions of the loons, the motor every once in a while to change spots, and him peeing over the side of the boat...boys will be boys..😂😂😂

[@aliciaschroepfer5606]

I'm 10 years old and I love your videos

[@user-ifishoften]

Matt every video is a zen experience. What sets you apart is your professionalism. You have amazing organization and fishing skills as well as the excellent editing of the GoPro footage. I would guess that you are an Engineer because of your logical mind and calm demeanor. I hope you get a lot of time on the water this season. I am always looking forward to you new videos. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@richardmcnamara8530]

I have had luck w a frog catching bass, and walleyes! Love this video...

[@JReb71]

Thanks for the ride along . Always a good time on the water

[@brianathern9154]

Just another relaxing trip on the lake with our guy Bob Ross. Great largemouth bass frog 🐸 day. Blessings Matt

[@rolandgdean]

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN MATT! ALL THE GREEN...I miss it so much...thanks for this. Everyone needs a buddy with a lake lot...glad you have that.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Right? When I heard that I was like dang man! Jake has it made.

[@nickk4851]

We love these summertime vids in the dead of winter. I just shared an earlier one with my brothers and called it "video therapy" haha seriously, thanks for releasing.

[@DanKoning777]

*Good stuff Matt.* Your videos are always a step [or 2, or 3, or...], above the rest. It's always good to see Jacob as well-he adds one more positive to your videos.

[@IGrocker]

Man, I can’t wait for spring to get my kayak out again! Thanks for the break from reality

[@donaldtruster1064]

Sure do love the sound of topwater frog fishing. Birds,paddle hitting the water,bass exploding the surface of the lake water! And the sight of the frog dancing ,&then the sudden burst & disappearance of frog, then head shaking of a huge bass,can't beat it!

[@thatfishingnoob]

There’s nothing like top water fishing.

[@tellermorrow81]

I can’t wait for summer. I’m ready to hit my favorite river spot and hammer the smallies.

[@brianmontello9074]

Great video Matt! It’s a balmy 17 degrees here in Illinois. Can’t wait for summer.

[@pulehushortribs157]

weedless frogs, my favorite right behind Hula Poppers. nothing like the topwater bite to get the blood churning. Right On

[@andrewhalbeck2156]

I just couldn't stop smiling during this whole video! There is nothing better than top water blowups!

[@samuelwarden6285]

Just started watching and this is making me miss warm weather even more lol. I'm ready for spring time. I'm glad you saved this one for us so we can all dream about the warmer months of topwater action 👊👍.

[@XxsteamerxX]

😂Mark the time: @ 7:50. I so look forward to your videos with Jake. Even though it's not an every time occurrence, I have built a running gag in my head for your paired videos. Hopefully you all are not offended by it, but it gives me a little joy inside.

[@jonastin1788]

Currently minus 3 wind-chill in Wisconsin, heading out ice fishing! I'm getting to old for this hard water game! Wish I was yaking!

[@ndyakangler]

I was tempted to drag my kayak down to the river today. The forecast says 33 degrees but I think I’ll wait for a little bit warmer in case they’re off a degree or two. It’s much easier when it’s above freezing and my gear isn’t icing up.

[@Slaptastic1]

When you asked what kind of animal that was making noise, I said out loud that it was a velociraptor about one second before you did 😂

Love the channel,as people say It's 8 pm on a rainy March Eve in the south UK and nice to see the fishing but also the spectacular scenery. Reminds me of fishing trips in Ontario. I guess it's pretty damn cold there now ?. Well roll on summer as time to cross the pond after the years of COVID madness and spend some time on the lakes 👍.

I love these videos, i always watch fishing videos in winter but yours are truly the best big mistake by me watching fishing videos in winter when i can't go outside properly bc of the freezing cold in finland, and i cant wait to go fishing but knowing finnish winters thats like 5-6 months without open water fishing. Last winter was about 6 months hopefully this one wont last that long
