The Bass Were Hungry!

[@idkcousin]

The accuracy of your cast never fails to amaze me

[@RojoDelChocolate]

no kidding, I fish a lot, and people ask me why don't you record it? I said it's mostly me casting into trees and yelling FVCK!

[@josephrottman4057]

I agree! Amazing accuracy!

[@theyetirulrs]

@@RojoDelChocolate I feel your pain!😂🤣😂

[@thedukeofagita3730]

Whopper ploppers are $15 lures worth their weight in gold. I’ve climbed trees, bushwacked, and swam to get ‘em back, but I’ve always got ‘em back. I refuse to give them up to bad casts.😂

[@jamescanady3442]

@@RojoDelChocolate LMAO. Can relate, brother!

[@MikeB-jz5mh]

I swear, NDYakAngler could post a video of him going shopping and we would all happily click to watch.

[@ndyakangler]

Lets hope I don't run out of fishing footage!

[@EnviousGenome]

When you hear "well it's about that time" I always feel bad that the video is over but relief for him having made them. They give me clarity in this crazy world. Thank you.

[@jamescanady3442]

It's almost like coming down from a high when you hear those words. Every time that I need to reconnect with the Earth and escape the fuzz from all of the cement jungles where I live, I put NDYakAngler or Greg Blanchard on. Their videos bring inner peace when so many KZbin videos bring the opposite.

[@NickAndCaroline]

Omg you said it man, need a break from this crazy world!

[@Owen74740]

12:23 second times a charm!! Nice catches overall!!! Also your casting accuracy is beyond impressive!! Props to you!!!

[@richardtravis546]

I swear you are the Bob Ross of fishing. Your voice is calm and soothing. Makes me enjoy your videos even more.

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

Happy Saturday morning indeed ☕️

[@freddiehoward4634]

I love your fishing ch. no foul language just good clean fishing, nice job

[@johnodon1968]

Largemouth get all the press but smallies are soooo underrated...especially ones that live in current. They have serious shoulders!

[@aj3198]

No kidding. I’ve never caught a smallie but plenty of largemouths and you can just tell these fish are way more aggressive

[@WiscoPaddler]

That moment when my phone alerts me there's a new fishing video... YES PLEASE!

[@jasongobbell3578]

Same lol

[@kccooks3821]

You all need a job! Lol

[@MindlessMicrophone]

There's something almost therapeutic about your content. Super chill and awesome fishing. I can't wait to get back out on the MN water.

[@gastropod557]

Your videos allow me to enjoy fishing vicariously...through you. If the doctors can, on their fourth attempt (giving an entirely new perspective on "Practicing" medicine), fix my hip I will be on the water again...soon. Thanks for your fun and exciting videos. I can almost feel a rod jerk watching them.

[@CPTFiXtion]

I love how I have a question in my mind about something you're using, and without fail, you explain it right after I think it

[@zephyrandboreas]

I first thought the duck was a lure. Was dying to see that action. 😂

[@z.decker2755]

That's the closest to clickbait you'll get from this guy, what a legend

[@davidjohnston1971]

I won't be surprised if he doesn't make a lure out of it, remember Chewbacca.

[@Jeff-gu6nb]

he has duck lure videos. It's amazing

[@zephyrandboreas]

@@Jeff-gu6nb True. But I was hoping for a bath rubber ducky... 😄🦆 I am sure that if anyone can do it, it will be Matt. I am sure some bass or pike would go for it.

[@antoniomora1255]

I thought that too!😂

[@lupiaan2021]

Watching this video on a frigid snowy winter day in March started my day right, thank you, stay safe!

[@blakelambert1777]

Hate that for ya it's 75 here in WV today 😂, it'll get better bro😭

Bob Ross of Smallie Kayak fishing is back at it!

[@paulmanzone8373]

Love to see how many healthy fish you catch, I came from the Pacific ocean and it's slowly dying, so really really good to see life!!! Thanks brotha

[@shauncilli3912]

The amount of quality fish in a single trip is amazing!

[@haydenjohnson492]

You have got to be one of my favorite fishing channels, you're like the Bob Ross of fishing and I love it

[@tyanez]

100%!

[@brendasaenz3618]

Same 😂

[@MattLaClear]

Thanks for taking us fishing with you, dude.

[@Mattsommers521]

Boy, if this doesn’t get your fishing blood flowing, I don’t know what will! 🙂 Great video as always!

[@michaelmccormick1016]

When you see that dark shadow bolt to the plopper, then that immediate smash that is the best.

[@FishingThePNW]

7:11 holy crap! That instant burst of speed was insane!

[@NickAndCaroline]

Was looking for this before I posted it hahaha. Insane strike!

[@jayhoust9134]

Back at it! I wish I lived closer to a stream where I could fish like NDYAk! Damn southern Nevada desert.

[@JonasGrumby-OO]

Love these vids. No BS, no overacting. Just fishing

[@Taters_outdoors]

By far the best fishing content on KZbin! Keep up the great work.

[@davidberry7719]

Just what I needed on a late winter day that feels like an early spring day. Really wets the appetite to get out there.

[@johnmcauliffe5543]

Smallies are so fast in a fight. Incredible to watch. Thanks!

[@truthis777]

Minimal Gabbing tons of action packed fish catching!!! You Rock!

[@AMTheOcarinaPlayer]

Watching these makes me so excited for summer fishing with my brother who I got hooked into the sport. As a birthday present, I got him a new rod/reel and some discounted whopper plopper lures to set him up. 😊

[@chubbrock659]

I bought a new boat this last fall and am dying to get out to use it, these videos carry me for the time being. If you ever make it out to Utah you have an open seat on the boat!

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

Man the aggression of those river smallies is crazy!

[@DMNSAV]

Can’t beat top water - I could watch these strikes all day!

[@garrettparkin3990]

So much better than those TV fishing shows, which are 20 minutes of advertising and 5 minutes of fishing.

[@sunspot478]

I live in Winnipeg... Not really too far away from you. Your videos have inspired me to try fishing for pike and bass up here ... And even better ... with my son ... So thanks for the ideas! Rock on! Thank you!

[@coyakbrian3411]

Perfect Sunday morning breakfast burrito and coffee viewing. Looked like an awesome day. Thanks for sharing...

[@breandanangley3828]

That looked like a great day on the water, catching some good quality smallies, with one of the funnest ways to do it!!

[@mattgrimmett6067]

The Bob Ross of fishing.... how can you not love these videos. Ppl still sleeping on this channel. Best fishing content on YT

[@doclew28]

Sheeeeeeesh... That boy hit that plopper HARD @ 4:37... Damm!!!

[@jeffhensley9988]

Another great video. Some amazing catches on the river,..and that sunset,..God sure paints a Beautiful sky. Thank you for letting us tag along. God Bless you.

[@r.eugenelee9148]

Those smallies sure a scrappy fighters. They dart everywhere. Thanks for sharing Matt.

[@the45er]

A day on a river like that fishing out of my Old Town Sportsman PDL would be a dream trip for me!

[@boomergun]

Yeah, that was fun. Thanks for the fix Matt! The Whopper Plopper vids are some of my favorite. That and the 'specialty' lures (baby ducks, snakes, spiders and Chewy).

[@fly_yaker]

My gosh those fish were ferocious! I’ve seen other videos of Smallmouths being caught, but none that I remember fought like your fish. That was awesome to see, enjoyed it. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@truebalsamhogs]

Again. Thanks and well done. Enjoyed being along to watch.

[@allanulen3809]

64 degrees today. and then a video from matt. really nice day. snow is almost all gone. we've got about 3 inches predicted for monday. but the ground is getting warmer. soon very soon back into the kayak.

[@harrygrimley4352]

Ice and sleet on a foot of hard packed snow. And you delivered a taste of summer. Thanks. A great way to start the day. 😁

[@rtbob45]

Amazing video as always. What is really amazing is his casting accuracy. I love watching this Channel. Go NDYak You're the best!😀👍🐟

[@GIBBO4182]

3:43 some nice casting…5 in a row!! Deserved that fish 👍

[@wallacebell4311]

Thank you for your terrific fishing videos!

[@gloryboundoutdoors974]

Incredible footage of just how agressive smallmouth can be. Got me pumped for spring!! Thank you for another great video!

[@oldmanfred8676]

Kevin Van Dam casting accuracy! I went to an Outdoor, Boat, Fishing show once and Kevin spoke. There was an old man in the front row with a cap on. Kevin would cast and hit his hat every time!

[@MicroLosi]

Dat "plopping" sound!!!! Great vidoe! Thank you!

[@ultimatelugia2915]

Awesome pre-recorded video! Those smallies really fight! It's great that you give us these videos to see throughout the winter. The fish don't do much during winter, especially mid-January thru February. Whopper Ploppers are a too much fun!

[@ndyakangler]

Yeah I’ve never had much luck getting those smallies to bite through the ice.

[@jeffinpa103]

Soon as I seen posted 10 minutes ago, gotta watch it! Thanks for the video!!

[@humblehombre9904]

4:38….Wow. What a hit! And the speed of that guy…are ya kiddin me!? That was nuclear brother, OH MY! Nice one!

[@ohiodronephotography3222]

This channel and videos like this are literally why I got into fishing! And why I have a box full of whopper ploppers lol On another note…I’d pay a thousand $ to go fishing with you lol.

[@katiap7065]

Same here. We got into ploppers thanks to these videos. My hubby, who was not into fishing that much previously, now only fishes with a plopper lol

[@dragonbob2924]

caught my first pike on a whopper plopper because of these videos. They aren't easy to catch where im at.

[@patrickchilds5486]

I need to retire early and just spend my days in the water. So relaxing.

[@6412mars]

Man..you gotta love the fight of a smallie!

[@JenkinsB]

Can't wait for this weather and temps this year, all the green!

[@M21L35]

Your PIN POINT casts are a treat to behold.......took me about a week to achieve that kind of perfection when I was 16, during a 6-week Conservation Camp in northern WI. If you fish every day w/the same gear, such ability is w/in one's grasp. Then 5 1/2 years later, about 7,000 miles west of here, I witnessed that same expertise demonstrated by my fellow Marines using an M-79 grenade launcher. Basically a hand-held mortar, the M-79 is an indirect-fire weapon. Which means although there IS an adjustable sight on the weapon, the sight's function is for "estimated" distance, ie. elevation only. However, to be proficient in his duty, the grenadier must accurately gauge/estimate that distance....which is only acquired over time....& analogous to bait casting.

[@chocolate_legend2317]

I love his intros and how he never changes it keeps it simple with the welcoming “how’s it going everyone” I just love that.

[@proteusxavier9477]

13:35 Love those smallie after-strikes. Super aggressive.

[@cliffordfarley30]

Watching your videos opened up my eyes to the variety of water smallies hang out in. Made me change my game plan and I’ve had even more success on the river. Thank you. Still gotta get out to ND to experience that well kept fishery

[@ndyakangler]

That’s awesome, congrats! This was in MN btw, I live right along the border of the two states so I fish them both quite a bit.

[@OutdoorsWonder]

smallies are fun to catch i love the fight, we use to catch tons of smallie every time we go to boundary water

[@jasont9045]

Your casting is so accurate!!

[@matthewruda596]

I like how Matt made the duck the cover and not the 18in almost 19in bass

Hands down the best relaxing fishing videos on KZbin man.

Man, like you, I’m looking forward to top water weather to return. Thanks for this video for the meantime.

[@kenseymour5152]

This video is getting me anxious to get out to lake St Clair for some smallmouth action as soon as the ice melts there’s a awesome ice out bite out there cold but worth it

[@differentfins]

Those were some sweet topwater strikes! I havent thought about my kayak much, but after seeing this... still have 6 weeks of ice fishing up here before that happens.

[@z.decker2755]

Great video! Can't wait for spring, I'm more excited to get out on the water than ever thanks to this guy

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Okay, that bass _pounced_ like a nutty tuxedo cat!

[@ckwoutdoors]

The scenery threw me off. I'm not from around there but I know it doesn't look like that this time of year haha. Then you said September and it clicked in my brain. Awesome start to the morning today to watch a new video from you before I start editing my newest video. Gives me inspiration! Keep it up man
