Glass water, slight bit of mist, huge bass, interesting lure, calm voice. This is what I needed today

His tackle box probably looks like a zoo with all the animal baits hes bought

This is like fishing ASMR. The loon, the voice, the sound of the reel, the pitter patter of the lure on the water - amazing.

Best fishing channel on the tube, hands down.

Nice channel. No overbearing music, no loud unnecessary commentary, just calm sounds and quality subtle chatting from you.

I've had other BPM baits kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

This man is the bob ross of fishing

Love the sound of that line just screaming off that reel!

Most underrated fishing channel ever this is just the best

There is a certain tension whilst reeling in that this video shows so perfectly. The quiet, the glassy black water, the mist.. at any moment a fish can strike. It’s exhilarating.

Best line my friend: "Beautiful day out here...I've got nothing better to do..." The ideal state every fisherman strives to reach...there is no greater gift than time to do what you love in this life. My wish to all who follow this gentleman angler! Amen

What a day.. gentle breeze, impeccable scenery, lake to yourself and, oh yeah, a true MN giant. Congrats Matt and thanks for bringing us along.

I’ve never been this happy watching someone fish on KZfaq

I need to watch more of this guy. It's so peaceful especially his quiet voice and hearing the loons and sounds of nature. Hes the best! One of those youtubers whose videos you can constantly send to a friend saying "isn't this so cool?!" Or "I thought you'd like this lure "

Didn't know how jealous I was til that first cast. That view,..the scenery,....the sound of that top water bird blurpin' along??? So jealous brother. You got it made my friend. Truly blessed.

Watching his videos makes me feel like I am on the boat with him and he’s giving me pointers. So relaxing compared to the rest of social media these days.

Best fishing channel on KZfaq, and I’m not the only one who thinks that

Growing up, my paps and I rarely saw eye to eye. With the pandemic, we had to settle our differences. A year later, we have to have a ND Yak video playing every time we sit down for dinner. Keep doing what you’re doing! It goes beyond fishing 🎣

Those loons calling is magical

Love the sound of loons in the morning.

I love seeing this calm water and hearing the loons calling. Reminds me of Minnesota summers when I was growing up.

If he’s the bob ross of fishing then he “beats the devil” out of the fish 😂

Love the peace and tranquility of fishing. Your so precise with your fishing, and take care of the fish. Classic catch and release. Love from Texas.

Love these odd lure videos! Most underrated on KZfaq 🔥

I usually lurk these channels or type of videos, but just how calm you are, plus the non-clickbaity titles and not being over the top really has me glued to your channel recently. Thanks for all you do. ♥

What a beaitiful spot, the atmospheric sun on the water and the bird calls are magic.

The absolutely astonishing first catch, along side the perfect glass like water, and the Bob Ross type fisherman is the perfect collection for a KZfaq video.

What a nice catch Matt. Just love how you can take an interesting lure like that and catch a dandy. I will be looking forward to your analysis on the pics and whether that was the same bass or not from last year!

I can watch your format of videoing all day long. So peaceful and inspirational. Keep up the great work man!

I feel like I’m the one on the kayak! I feel so blissed out every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for the post.

Omg, the loon at the beginning almost sounds like a movie sound effect. So cool

Appreciate you persevering through the rough patches and providing us EXQUISITE content

Love the sound of your reel unspooling man. And great scenery and fish as always ;) I'm addicted to your channel, please keep the videos coming! Congrats from France!

Thank you for being you. Your videos do something special to a lot of people

BIG respect for sticking to your guns. That takes a ton of patience, and it paid off!

2:30 this is a damn movie, you have to be paying off these fish... the timing is unbelievable lol

Nice to see you on a beautiful calm water example on how it always finds its level and never curves or sticks to a spinning ball🌞

My new go to right before bed to relax me to sleep!! Great channel!!!

So enjoyable, thanks for taking us with you!

I swear every time I catch a big fish first, I never catch anything else for the rest of the day.

The Bob Ross of fishing. Those soothing pipes make the vids great.

That's one helluva satisfying casting sound.

Best fishing channel on youtube hands down. KZfaq recommend this man everywhere! what are you doing?

Love the sound that reel makes when you cast/shoot it.

I'm a lot like you. I love to fish weird baits and old forgotten antique lures. I've caught many a fish on old forgotten rummage sale lures that have not seen water for 40 or 50 years. Thanks for the beautiful morning on the water.

1:51 the loons sound on a lake while fishing 🎣. So peaceful 😊.

Your content is awesome. No over the top BS. Just good scenery, great fishing, awesome footage, calming voice. Keep it up man. You deserve the subs.

Gives a whole new meaning to flippin' the bird.

You have the PERFECT calm voice for fishing videos

That's some clear water ! I Love fishing for large and small mouth bass ! Especially top water !

I absolutely adore your videos. Your fishing skills are phenomenal. Thank you you for introducing many new lures and tight lines to you! I hope to one day fish the same productive type of waters that you fish. 🎣

Incredible scenery! Makes you feel like you're there with all the sights and sounds.

Bass is my favorite fish to catch because of there hard strikes, and the fight they put up. 14inch and up bass equalls a great time. On the lake is my happy place. Thx for the video

Looks like a great lure for GTs! Automatic walk the dog action. Mahalo for sharing

Im loving these vids with oddball lures. 👍 Cant argue with the results!

Biggest bass I ever caught on the best lure: fly-fishing at sunset in late spring, wading on the edge of a 20-foot drop-off, spawning bass circling the edge of the drop-off. Brought-in a small blue-gill on the fly-line, dangled it in front of the bass, brought the bass in without the bass ever even being hooked. Pulled the blue-gill out of the bass' mouth, weighed the bass, and threw them both back. That was 25 years ago, but I like to imagine she's still circling that drop-off, waiting for small blue-gill. And no, I'm not gonna say what she weighed.

The mist...the mirrored surface.....loon calls.....not another person in sight. Absolute PARADISE.

Love your channel. I took an 8 year break from fishing because i haven’t had time due to having little children but now they are old enough to come with me. We were watching your channel together last night so I could show them how exciting bass fishing is. They loved it!

This vids special, as I truly like the first person filming

don't we all love the sound of those DC reels!!

This is my new favourite angling channel. A relaxed video delivery, beautiful scenery and a gentle yet soothing commentary. Much love from Cape Town, South Africa!

Your Bob Ross style of narration is why I keep coming back

im so happy i found your channel. its the best way to relax and loose stress. keep up the great work!

Hell yea they do. I use the one that looks like a Sparrow up here in Syracuse, NY💪🏾

I like your voice that fits so well with the silence and nature there. That makes you yearn to do the same for you.... 🤗😍

Your the guy that I see every morning headed fishing while I'm headed to work... "Wishing I was fishing" every time I drive by a pond or lake

The 4 people who disliked this video probably havent caught a fish in a couple weeks

Clicked on video, immediate 👍 - Massive Intro Bass Wow!

You definitely are the Bob Ross of fishing. I almost fell asleep to your voice lol

*Every time I watch one of these, I fully expect this guy to pull out an easel, a brush & paints and start painting...Bob Ross never had it so good*

Gotta agree with the few comments I read at the top here...nice time fishing with you. Thanks for the upload. Nicely done.

That first blow up… 🤯🙌

The sound that lure makes is unreal.

Love this guy... Is the Bob Ross of fishing... 👍🤗😁

That view with that tranquility and the sound of those Loons, got a fan up here in Canada dude ✌🏽🇨🇦 love your channel!

Love the video. you're like the Bob ross of fishing. I mean that as an absolute compliment.

I tried the cockatoo smuggler on Lake Minnetonka with some other weird lures and I was surprised how well these worked. I worked it with a slow, steady retrieve and also like a jerk bait and both ways worked really well. Love your vids Matt! Keep 'em coming!

Watching you cast is just as mesmerizing as watching you bring in the big fish. Awesome technique and control!

This video describes a mood/feeling that can't be put into words

Amazing bird lure! It actually swims the crawl stroke with it’s wing! I wonder if the butterfly stroke action would be more attractive to fishes! Thank you for sharing.

Been waiting on another upload. Love this channel so much

Great fishing and good commentary. You're like the Bob Ross of fishermen.

Simply addicted to your videos. Such mesmerising, haunting surroundings set a perfect scene for your fishing exploits. I love that your excitement is palpable with every bite too. It's really piqued my interest in picking up a rod again - thank you for sharing the beauty of Northern USA, and for such a charming narration throughout your videos. 👌

That was some good beats the bait was stomping. I was like, dam nice background music, oh wait, that's the bait.

Been waiting all week for this

Love the scenery the peacefulness, and the thrill of fishing. This is just perfect

The loon's what a beautiful sound. That lure is fabulous.what movement.

Yup, that always happens when a bass nose dive into the weed, those old bass knows a few tricks. The moment they get you stuck on the weed they just shuck once and they are gone.

The audio of the loons is 🔥. Keep the footage coming!

Great video, solid editing and love the peaceful day on the water.

Thanks for sharing this morning of fishing, felt I was there and felt the excitement!

Definitely want to see that on some pike water. Going out this week with my zara puppy for some smallmouth cant wait.

Lol, " I've got nothing else to do ". Don't let the wife hear you say that! That, was a large Minnesota bass!

Love the sound of his rod when casting. thumbs up, great video. Reel*

The bird noises in the back ground are soothing. Also the noise the reel makes when u cast is so cool

Congratulations! Catching Monsters like that is always cool to watch!

You can tell he’s on a clean lake when you hear a loon

First time watching, and brother, you're like the Bob Ross of fishing! Outstanding!

Played this for the fam. Man I miss Northern Minnesota lake fishing. The scenery and loons. Amazing
