He's the Bob Ross of fishing. He even has happy little trees in the background.

Catches more fish with a duck than ive caught all year with every lure.

anyone telling @NDYakAngler what speed or how to fish isn't much of a fisherman... I've logged 1000's of hours for bass alone. This dude is the real deal! Don't question it!! tell me i'm wrong... go!

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!

You are the one fishing channel I can watch. You show your appreciation for the fish without screaming about it for 15 minutes and having the fish out of the water till it’s bone dry. In short, you my friend are a creator of quality.

The sound of the cast is so satisfying!

Your videos are great on their own, but they're perhaps even better as a respite from the contrived "enthusiasm" displayed on so many other fishing KZfaq channels.

The fish you catch are fortunate,as you handle them gently and with dignity,thank you for that,from Massachusetts…

I love you Matt!! I hope you and your daughter and wife are doing well. Nothing but love from Colorado, and as always I am so grateful for your peaceful and insightful nature. Truly you are the person I have learned the most from!! Please take care, Tyler

I think it's funny that people try to tell Matt how to catch fish!! (you need to slow your retrieve) This dude just casts the lure into their mouths! When you start doing that consistently, then, and only then should anyone be telling him how to catch fish. LMAO.

Every bass fisherman's dream. A lake full of 5 pounders that will bite random animal lures.

He does have a very "calming voice" about him. Which is nice.

When I see someone catch as many fish as you do I'll take the retrieval advice. Until then you are the fishing master! You make it look easy and tons of fun. Great videos. Thank you.

Get in my net!” Best NLP approved comment when reeling in a hog. Love how positive and calm, although obviously enthralled in life, great content. Thx for posting and all the hard work.

I have fished before, I like it but don't love it and don't go regularly,... But watching this channel I can see why people love it and appreciate it more. You got yourself a subscriber.

It’s the presentation of each fish that makes this guy so great

I just needed to comment and say that I love your videos, they're so calming and relaxing, I've seen all of them and every time I see you upload makes my day infinity better. So thank you, I hope yo continue to do these for as long as you want.

Man you absolutely inspired me to go fishing this summer as much as I could. I've caught dozens of bass and blue gill at my local pond and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for being such a cool fisher bro and giving the rest of us the inspiration to follow in your footsteps

I could re-watch all your topwater videos and will never get bored of them. I've never caught fish on topwater until this year, now its all I'm catching fish on. Thanks a bunch, although they are not tutorials, I'm learning from your videos. Keep up the awesome work!

I love this fishing video whit you Matt , always nice to look 👍 hallo from Sweden 🇸🇪

Yes ,the Bob Ross ,hes so calm n chilled out even wen he hooks on ,calm!Great angler i must say,i bingewatch and go to sleep to NDYak Angler

Always a good morning when you wake up to a video you can watch while you poop! 😂😂

Beautiful scenery, looks like you're fishing in a postcard. Nice!

His voice is so calming though doesent talk fast and confuse no large dubstep intro. Keep up the good work. Love from Canada

I love how that duck lure just looks way too big…. until you see it dwarfed inside a largemouth’s gaping mouth, lol

the whole approach to this show feels like a PBS special from back in the day.

I really like these types of lures, they're very unique!

Dude it's crazy how regularly bass eat baby ducks!!! Absolute monstas all thru this video 🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As I sit here watching this video, knowing that spring is coming... it's like taking a valium, just hearing the "Whip Zzzzzzzzz.... of the bait caster. I'm smiling over the anticipation, but relaxed, knowing all good things open water are on their way. Just need a few more weeks!

Absolutely love this guys channel ,hes a dam good Angler,but wat draws me in is that clear clean water he fishes where u can visibly see the fish swimming around and to his baits

After the week I’ve had, this video popping up was a sheer pleasure. Thank you.

Always entertaining to watch your adventures! Ty for sharing!

Well my day is taking a 15 minute pause, the greatest uploaded.

These are some of my favorite fishing videos, I like these lures you come up with. Great content, have a good day

Great video once again, thanks Matt. I wish more people made videos like you do. No blasting music, no annoying person going nuts when they catch a fish, no freaking out, just cool calm content.

Damm I need to get out and fish. Thanks for sharing this with us. Would love to get out with you sometime.

I bought a kayak because of you and wanted to say thanks. Thanks

The best part is you are alone out there, or certainly not many others if any. Nice video.

Love the sound of that line singing! Thanks for the great, quality content! You've inspired me to get a kayak, as soon as I can afford one.

By far my favorite KZfaq fisherman! He fishes the most peaceful looking places..really makes me want to head north in Michigan and fish lakes like this!

BEYOND pumped you started a merch page. Love to support creators such as yourself. Amazing work as always!

Such an awesome setting. Clear water, lush weed beds, and big bass . All alone, can't beat that. Great video !!!

I love how he just stays calm while reeling the fish and keeps talking lol

Another great day! No one out on a beautiful lake. I love the way your fish always swim off strong. You’re the king of these novelty-type baits and I think it’s presentation as much as lure choice. Wonderful day on the water!

That ducky is lucky! And I'm sure you heard this plenty times already, but you make very peaceful and soothing fishing videos, thank you! Minnesota looks beautiful! God Bless our country 🇺🇸 Bless The LORD.

That river is so calm and relaxing. Awesome fish too!

As long as you're catching fish at the rate you're catching them, don't worry about your retrieve, it's obviously working...

love this guys channel! hes straight to fishing, no intro. 100% just fishing 😎

I like the noise the bait caster makes each time you cast

Looks like an awesome lake. Quality fish. Hearing that reel buzzing on every cast soothing sounds. Cheers from North Bay Ontario

Beautiful strikes!! Equally nice video, thanks for having us along!!

The Duck Plopper is a Hog magnet 🧲😳

Those are definitely the days you dream of. Not that everytime I watch one of your videos doesn't seem to be one of those days, 4 pound average is hard to do

September is the month that I like the most for bass. If in addition to that you have an overcast calm day (even better with some occasional light rain) and you are alone in a lake with plenty of nice good sized largies attacking your top water lures then my dear friend you are in Heaven or very close to it. A fishing trip that you ´ll remember during the winter days. The light and the colours and sounds (deer mating season) of the early fall give Nature an unmatched beauty and a somewhat melancholic touch. It is the second time I watch this gorgeous video of yours and I enjoyed it as much as in the first one.

Marketing 101: The dog doesn’t care if the kibble is shaped like bones, and the fish doesn’t care if the hatchling sized lure has adult mallard plumage.

I love the sound of your cast.

I would have never thought to throw a duck lure but now after watching I definetly understand why!

Still my favorite fishing channel. If I could have 1/4 the success on top water I’d be a happy man.

2:50 "Alot of times I'll get people saying you're fishing lures way too fast and whatnot" Imagine being the guy trying to tell the guy you're watching catch 30+ with a duck lure how to fish 🤣

It's like being there with you... very relaxing. Keep doing it!

Your #1 of all bass/fishing i watch. Thanks

A Thursday upload from the legend? I can dig it

Any day on the lake or river with you is a good day!!!

Enjoy your videos immensely, so relaxing to watch and learn also.

i can watch this guy all day long

Literally shook my head while watching at 4:20 . How some of those bass strikes can happen that fast blows my mind.

Thank you for sharing n uploading these clips. I saw the last duck lure video, you were amazing luring that pike in so close to you before letting it bite. Please keep posting.

Gorgeous looking bass, great work and thanks for sharing!

I don't know why, but I love that shirt. I want one. Awesome job with the duck.

If I ever got sick and was doing make a wish I would literally meet this man and just wanna go fishing with him for a day🙏

It's nice change, from other anglers who shout all the time. Keep it up dude

I could watch this video over and over and it just gets more interesting and better each time

That cast sound at 5:59 was glorious.

The sound your rig makes on cast is so pleasent

if i close my eyes and listen i hear fred rogers with a mix of bob ross lol rock on love the channel

Awesome video like usual! Thank you for sharing your experience.

My mouth was watering after seeing that first bass you caught! Beautiful!

Man that lure just makes that reel sing when you cast it lol

Nice video Matt, I wouldn’t worry to much about your technique , because your results are incredible. Stay safe

4:20 insane 😮👌🏼

Keep doing whatever you're doing bro you catch tanks! I look forward to all your content and no matter what you do there will be critics out there. Thank you for producing awesome videos for us to learn from!

You are supposed to be a narrator with that voice also you are the happiest man I have ever seen

Man the water u fish in is so nice , never see anything els or hear anything close of human activity , its like a fishersman dream👍

most fun fishing youtuber to watch straight to the point and no crazy stuff keep, up the good work

These are really great videos. You have some serious skills. Love how you release the fish, super smooth! 👍

I really enjoy these fishing videos. Thanks

Great video and great bass fishing as well! Congratz! 😎👍

never really care for fishing show back in the day but this is good.

Wow really nice bass. I saw you posted this earlier this morning and I have been looking forward to watching it all day

And ur fricking calm when u catch a fish

Wow that was like a hole in one with that first Bass. Awesome!

Seeing you catch all the fish youve caught has made want to go to north Dakota after highschool

Yes sir really look forward to your videos.

Beautiful big chunky fish! Fantastic! 👍

I been missing your videos for almost a year now but I found u so I gotta lot to catch on now,,looks like u still killing them n I order a duck, can’t wait to try it,,Thanks!!

The lakes and rivers he fishes are so pretty with clear water.

I think it’s so funny how people try to tell you anything. You’re literally the best lmaoo

“Quack quack motherfuckers, guess who’s back?!” That’s how I imagine you talk to the bass when the camera is off.

Excellent video. I love that type of action. I have been hesitant to purchase some lures like that but I may just bite the bullet and try some. Thanks for letting us come along!

Great vid as always, beautiful fish on topwater, can't beat that!!
