I love joining this guy on a paddle. He’s got a relaxing voice...like fishing with Bob Ross.

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

That lure in the water looks like a guy I raced about nine months before I was born

I dont even fish, but here I am....

There aren't many KZfaqrs who could make a 14-minute video with only two catches on it and still have it be totally interesting and enjoyable. Thanks Matt.

"Asleep at the reel"!! Excellent.

Even if the fish aren't biting, I'd think just being on such a serene and gorgeous stretch of water would in itself be a treat. Thanks for sharing!

Best fishing channel on YT. It’s truly not even close. You fish exactly how I fish. Calm, content, Soaking in the beautiful landscapes, and wild life. There is truly something spiritual about fishing.

NDYakAngler out here answering all of life's toughest questions.

Who else watches EVERYWHERE Matt goes and thinks ‘man i’d love to hunt this for ducks and geese.’ It’s always that same initial thought, followed quickly by ‘Matt rocks’, ‘Matt is worlds best fisherman’, and ‘Why does Matt only have this many subs?’ No music, short and quiet narrative, absolutely gorgeous scenery even in winter, and tons of fish. Best channel ever.

the water being so clear makes this video just so much better being able to see the fish swimming around is so soothing

Sniper accuracy with the casting- Bob Ross/Mr. Rodgers commentary- Outstanding!!

As someone who loves to fish, your videos are the type "we" want to watch. You were unsure earlier this year about continuing, "WE" are all glad you decided to keep yakkin. 2 musky day on a kayak!!! That's not a slow day. Keep it up man, love your videos.

I've been watching you since 10k subs and the thing that I always come back for is the fact that your style has not changed. You can see across many other KZfaq channels that they more subs they get the more they change their style of videos and become more clickbaity. But I can always come here and rely on the same content that I've always liked. Always catching hogs with super high quality video can't complain. No screaming and yelling or getting overhyped just pure self. Hats off to you for keeping it original!

Wow dude... Have I never seen someone target a musky and catch it they way you did. .. blew my mind unbelievable... Goes to show you people no matter how hard you try at some thing there is allways progression and rewards !! ABSOLUTELY amazing Matt! Beautiful content keep up the good work!!!

This is the second video of yours that I watch. No obnoxious music and no faking reactions. I appreciate your calm vibe and appreciation for every fish. :) Subscribed for sure!

His casting accuracy with that snake is impressive! Fun to watch!

I really like you show the process of your fishing, you don't just cut to catching fish. Love your videos! You're like the Bob Ross of Kayak Fishing haha

I really enjoyed watching you release all your catch with respect, not like any other angler by throwing or tossing them to the water. Thanks Matt.🙂

I’m an avid fisherman in northern New Hampshire. I like to fish for largemouth smallmouth but mostly northern pike. Your videos are great because you don’t make any stupid jokes and you just fish. Yours are the most enjoyable fishing videos on KZfaq. Keep up the good work and keep slaying them👍

I clicked on this video faster than a pike hits top water

I love those surprise bites, nothing wakes you up faster!

Great videos you post. I’m a bass fisherman here in the northeast. A friend in the boat one day caught a smaller pike on a crank bait. I grabbed a random rod in the boat with a HOT pink crank bait. No leader or net, got lucky and landed a 33 inch pike, A little over 10lbs. What a RUSH !!

This guys casting is superb. Always spot on. So close to the bank but never hits the bank. A master caster.

Watching a 14 minute video of you catch just 2 fish is better than watching any other video of others catching lots of fish. When that musky hit that snake right there by your yak made me nearly jump out of my chair. Then I started laughing so hard my wife thought I was going crazy. Keep up the good videos.

Hey man just wanted to say we're all super glad you got the drive and WANT to be out doing this again. Your post a while back being honest really put into perspective how much we ALL love your channel, and how it's a job that in time becomes difficult. But man your either a great actor or just love doing it all over again! Keep it up!!!!

That muskie startled me and I'm sitting in my recliner watching videos on my TV. Lol

I’m a very novice fisherman and I love watching you. If I could learn to cast like that I would be happy for the rest of my life. I’m keep sharing the videos . They are so enjoyable and educational.

Well done, Matt! That second Musky caught me by surprise as well! What gorgeous markings on musky #2!!!!

That 2nd Musky hit was awesome!

My grandpa passed away back in 2019, since then I only picked up my rod once, ended up selling it off. He was the reason I was such a outdoorsmen. I’ve thought about trying to get back into fishing. It’s taking a little time. Watching you nail these muskies, gives me a little spark in my ass and makes me wanna go out and fish again. 🤘🏽 keep up the good work bro, love your videos

Bro, you getting in that kayak looked like a transition from cutscene to gameplay. 10/10

Thanks. We needed a good laugh on a Tuesday. Didn’t get to go out this weekend so this was therapeutic. That last bite scared me too. We were both laughing.

Let the fun begin. And what fun it is :) . Scared the flip out of me too

This guy , His voice, the landscape, everything looks like a fishing game

these videos are perfect while I'm working my nightshifts... so soothing and interesting at the same time

Edit down that second musky strike into a KZfaq Short and plaster it across social media.😉

The action on that snake is sick.

I love how the water is so clear, he can practically pick his target. Which he did on the first fish. Not many times you can actually pick which fish to target, normally you wait for the fish to pick you. lmao

That moment when that muskie nailed that snake was probably the coolest fish catch I've ever seen man. Really cool.

Slow day turned into a nice vid. Man that river is super clear.....can see fish for miles haha

I'm about to go river fishing for smallies for the first time this weekend in KY. I've watched enough NDYak videos to know I'm gonna kill it!

It's 2:30 in the morning in Texas, and I'm watching Matthew McConaughey here go fishing. I love it

That one Muskie at the boat scared the soul out of me 🤣

That second muskellunge blowup was sick!

Its always a great time when a couple of nice fish can make an anglers day.

8:40 Fish prove once again that they know when you're paying attention.

"asleep at the reel" - that killed me! Absolute gold!

Im really really jealous of the resources this guy gets to fish

When I read the title I first thought this was a Marlin Baits video. Either way, I did enjoy it. 👍

The clarity of the water amazes me, here where I live the river & creek waters all brown and you can't see much unless it's a pond or lake

lol You got the calmness of Bob Ross; Very tranquil

I got more scared than you did when that muskie hit at 8:28 😂

7:01 It only takes one fish to make the day for me too if it's the right one.

Dude's just living the good life - hell with bars ... go fishing!

i just love the clean clear water. Looks like Heaven.

Thanks for being an inspiration! Your a huge part of why I began filming my fishing trips!

Man, your the Bob Ross of fishing.. your channel is so smooth and relaxed, it's infectious. You may use artificial lures, but fishing from a kayak is down to earth.

A lot of people might not even notice the line rotation at 6:02 but that's a veteran move.

I love the way he talking.. So relaxing.. He got voice of nature

"Any day on the river is a good day". That's true. As always, great content. 👍🎣

Got this lure last year and it caught me my pb bass! Highly recommend!

Beautiful environment to take in! 😍 Total peace and serenity.....

Sitting here drinking beer watching you fish, is a good way to spend my day off.

Two all-time catches, love your muskie/pike videos. Awesome

most intriguing fishing vids on this platform no doubt. Keep doin what you’re doin, you’ve got it figured out!

What I really like about you is that all the fish you catch you put back.

“Asleep at the Reel”. Good name for a band! 🥴

Some of the best fishing content, even in the "off" bite

I was going to go out this morning, but my alarm didn’t go off 😓 at least now I can watch you slay some

Of all things you saying “let’s go get em” got me yelling hell yeah!!!!

you have insanely clear audio quality. Glad to see someone puts time into their setups and editing instead of just uploading hours of raw footage

My wife: eww a snake 🐍 Musky: ooh a snake 🐍

I would imagine that kind of snake lure attracts birds of pray on occasion

Finally somebody who releases the fish in a reasonable time.

That second muskie made me jump my heart beat quickened and I was just watching the video. Thanks for the upload you are as always appreciated.

I get excited every time I see one of your new videos, I love em!

I’m so jealous!! I love to fish and I usually catch trout and sometimes bass, but this looks so much fun!

Bro you should win the Cy Young award of casting with how much command you have

9:53 is the most northern thing I've ever heard 😂 so glad I stumbled across your channel, this is everything I didn't know I needed lol

I love the savage snake lure I’ve caught my biggest Muskie and some of my biggest bass off of it.

Other youtubers act like musky are impossible to catch, theyve never watched you before !

Okay, so here we have our “kind neighbour next store” who teaches us a way to fish. Wow and thanks. I am a very unadventurous guy, clumsy in a boat who appreciates your relaxed straight forward teaching method. Keep it up. George

I really enjoyed your video. If there are any Bob Ross fans out there who remember the good ole times love watching his video paintings and how he spoke in a calm and serene tone. If you close your eyes and listen to how NDYakangler speaks while fishing. they both sound identical on how they both see something they want to add those beautiful moments and memories from experience. Happy Easter and Passover, God bless and One Love.

I'm being serious here in saying: Don't ever delete footage, I'd happily watch a half hour of you paddling around shooting video even if you didn't catch a single fish!

Almost thought he was gonna race the fish when he started all that 360GT talk.

The Bob Ross of fishing vlogs.

I love skinny water fishing, great job on those Musky

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on KZfaq. There's just something relaxing about joining you on your fishing trips

Always awesome videos 💙

Dude is the Bob Ross of fishing with that mono tone voice

second musky absolutely scared the hell out of me too. beautiful fish

You better believe the best angler on youtube is gonna kill it with a snake. edit: first catch is on the 360 gt 😂

Brah, that’s awesome. Do you ever get skunked? You are always crushing them.

Love your pike and muskie content I can't get enough of it! Big shoutout from Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🎣

I saw it mentioned in the comments of another video of NDYak's... "He's the Bob Ross of Fishing." I could not agree more.

oh my gosh i got a jump scare on that second fish lol

I just realized I have the exact same rod you have, the one you used for the first Musky

literally any fish he catches “wow, what a beautiful fish” 😄😄

LMBO" when that Muskey hit ! I just about jumped out of my socks . That was cool no doubt. Thanks for the adrenaline rush, it was a lot of fun, but there again, it's always a lot of fun fishing with you LOL" Have a good one my friend
