In 70-some years of fishing the St Lawrence I've never caught a musky, and here I watch you just stack them up one after another! Thanks again for another great video, Matt! I really look forward to your weekly updates. I'm now 82, and unable to get out very often, so your adventures keep me going. Bless you my friend, and happy fishing!

Nothing is more satisfying in this world than taking a buddy fishing and fishing behind them and schooling them.😂

I never imagined a Muskie hitting a whacky worm. Matt, you are the sensei of kayak fishing.

Say what you want. You can study, purchase all the right lures, fish them as close as you can to the "right way," but there are some people that just have that God given gift to be able to catch fish! Matt is one of them. Blessings my friend. Don't ever take that for "granted." I feel for the commenter who is in his 80's and still hasn't ever caught a Muskie out of the St. Lawrence. I've never caught one either, but I fish from the shore in NC. Don't exactly have that opportunity. At 72 it's getting tougher each year. Not as nimble as I was in my 30's and 40's. Right now I'm just having a blast ultra lite fishing from the bank for Bluegill, Crappie, and small bass. Even caught a 5 lb. bass while bluegill fishing one day! That was epic! 4 lb. line and about a 5 minute fight. Had to beach her to be able to pick her up. At 71 years of age and very overweight, bending down to pick her up was a chore. ..but I do have pics!!!

My best friend passed away a few weals ago in a horrible car accident. He was my fishing buddy, me and him loved senko fishing. He specifically was good with the wacky rig. I remember asking him out of frustration one time when we were out on the water if he could teach me how to fish one effectively. I’ll never forget, who he was and what I learned from him and what he learned from me. Fly high little brother, one day we will meet again. ❤😢

Hear me out, sell merch with a muskie/pike/smallie in a net with the quote "Get in my net!"

Musky. The fish of ten thousand casts * *Unless you're Matt

Double on Muskegon has to be one of rarest occurrences on fresh water. Congrats!

Yamamoto senkos are my favorite river smallmouth bait. Who would believe they would also catch muskies. Matt is pushing boundaries and showing us how to catch more fish. Thanks!!

Props to Jacob for standing up on cold water.

Nothing like fishing with a buddy and having the fish biting as well. So glad you purchased a decent dip net, now every time you have a colossal fish on your line I wont have hold my breath quite so hard. Thanks for the video and taking us along. Stay safe. Blessings, cheers.😊

Sick video, Matt. Shout out to Jacob, too, for that beast of a musky and all the great service and tackle I've purchased from his shop!

I've been watching this guy for a month or so...love seeing the techniques, use of different baits, different locations, different species and learn something new each time. Please keep em coming!

Chin up Jacob! Pretty sure any of us would be in the same boat with the “are you kidding me??”watching this guy boat fish after fish. He’s just that good! Another banger Matt!

Great fishing and even better with a friend as well! Thanks for taking us along! See you next adventure!

I can't wait to use this technique in Minnesota later this year. Something new and I can't imagine too many musky anglers are tossing wacky worms. 5 fish day says it works! Thank you for the content!

I like the idea of the heat shrink. I've always wondered how long those last before the start to fall apart. Nice job Matt and Jacob!!

Wow! Didn't expect you to catch muskies on the wacky worm, amazing video

A good friend always wants his wingman to be successful.! Well done.

Matt, you did a great job celebrating your friend when he caught his fish.

Always a good morning watching some YAK!!!

Wow...I never imagined seeing a muskie caught wacky sttyle..blew my mind! That was some quality entertainment 💪😄👍

Hey Matt, funny story for you. Way back in the day (1989-93) my buddies and I would go fish on the Toronto Islands right around ice out, mid-march to early April. Big pike, lakers and the occasional 'bow would be hanging around the various canals. We primarily used spoons (Wablers, lil cleos, 5 of diamonds, red devils etc etc.) When it was slow, we'd try other rigs too. One of those other rigs was Texas rig or carolina rigs with 6" Berkeley power worms and you know what? We caught some massive pike with them! I was shocked they worked so well and everyone i've told didn"t believe me at all.....this was all i could think about while watching this video. Lesson learned is that a slow steady presentation right in front of their noses works like a charm! Keep on keepin on dude!

The best part of fishing with Matt is that you can still watch him on KZfaq with the rest of us when he skunks you 😁

Another epic episode of NDYAKANGLER, it’s amazing what you do with a 6’6 MH bass x rod, you make it look easy, hats off to you Matt you’re the man!!🎣

Great river trip with Jacob. Double up at the end was sick. 4 G 1A Great game Matt. Awesome. Blessings brother

The double up at the end!!! Thats great...great way to end it.

Hello! I see you have a new net! Cool! :) Your videos are very good, congratulations!

I never knew Muskies would be in a channel until I started watching your video's. I always thought they were just in lakes in the woods. Learned something new I guess. lol

Ah yes, coffee in hand, and the Bob Ross of fishing new video. Our season is closed for Musky but this will do just fine.

I’ve fished all my life in both fresh, but mostly salt water on the Northern Gulf Coast where I grew up. I’ve caught just about every species of fish that we have down here (except for the marlins) but I’ve never caught a Smallie, Muskie, or a Pike, and I find your videos fascinating. One day, Lord willing, I’m going to schedule a trip up North and do some of your kind of fishing.

Happy to see Jacob not get skunked! The shakes 😂, I remember my first big musky, my knees were knocking so bad I could barely stand in the boat! Awesome fishing with good company! Greetings from Germany 👍🍻

Your content is the wacky worm of fishing videos that never fails to hook us

Glad to see Jacob was not skunked

I went to slide my small pontoon in last week, my son accidentally kicked one of the pvc pipes to roll on and took out the plug. Had to leave early the next day, going back Tuesday, new plugs, going to hopefully hit the pike, trout and early giant crappies! You are an inspiration to all and should have a show!!! Beside here

This is absolutely incredible. One of the best fishing videos I’ve ever seen. Hats off to you man. Just amazing

I really like ur voice and how u try different lures… I’m in nj… love watching u catch Muskies and pike…. Thanks for teachin us what to use and how to work it…..from a fishin women who loves to fish….❤

Before Covid, we went to Lake Shikag in Ontario for smallies and walleye. Every year a great experience. Some in our group had been going for 35-40 years. It is catch and release. Being from the south, I had never caught walleye and just a few smallies. OMG what an experience for several years. No Muskie's, but Pike were there. Bottom line, I had never fished wacky worms before that and when it was explained to me, I just laughed. No Way!. But, man, did we catch fish on them. Smallies for sure on the wacky and Pike too. Dozens of walleye on live minnows, but we only kept enough for shore lunch. Such a wonderful trip with great guys. Hope that one day we'll do it again before it's too late. Lord willing.

Live in the Chicago area, have gone up to N Wisconsin a number of times. Never caught a muskie. NDYA hooks a whole handful in a single random April afternoon. No words. Just living vicariously through you, my friend!

Thanks, Matt!! Nice to feel the warm sun while fishing!! Great day!!

Love the reaction from the other guy after your 3rd musky! "You're killing me man!"

The sound of a zillions drag never gets old. The new Daiwa PX BF70 BFS reel has a killer drag system and sound as well as the new Zillion SV TW 70 is so nice

I'd never considered using large plastics for Muskie. Definitely something I'll try this summer! Great vid. Thanks!

I’ve caught a decent amount of larger bass on that magnum baits stick bait. I’ll need to try it on a wacky rig

Could feel the tension on the trip after the 3rd fish was caught. Buddy was sweating. Rofl. 🎉😂❤

I'm really liking the thought of a 10" wacky rig for bass! No doubt in my mind it will work...that's 1 technique I'm trying here real soon if the weather cooperates...looking forward to trying another bait...the 8" deps soft jerkbait...Big baits=Big Fish

Beautiful Musky’s ! Musky and Pike are my favorites,big and beautiful! Great job as always,thank you sir.

Awesome day for you boys. Lol, Jacob was torn up over the one he caught. 😂 what a rush.

So Senkos really do catch everything... Heck of a day fishing for muskie.

Love to see you share your fishing spots with your buddy’s love your videos never stop filming i can’t get enough!!!!!

I agree with others. I know guys who have given years to catch a couple of nice muskies, and you do it in a day. Love the videos. You sure know where to fish.

EPIC" WACKY LUNGE TIME! CHEERS" newsub in Idaho!

Wow, dude. You guys have prehistoric monsters up there! Holy crap!

That’s a Fantastic day , congratulations to the both of you ! Really enjoy your videos . Thank you for showing them !

Great video and great fishing technique. Minimalist stealthy boat and fishing tackle. In Most other Musky channels, they fish out of 20+ foot super boat with 300 HP outboard, using 9 foot telephone pole rods, 80 lb. test line and lures the size of a small dog. You catch more Muskies and other fish without dressing like a NASCAR driver and making more noise than a NHRA Top Fuel race. Bravo.

Phenomenal day for muskies!! Wow. Nice net work too. I use a Boga grip for toothie critters out of the kayak. Helps when they get the twisties! 😮😊

Love these musky videos! If possible please keep making them!

What a day of fishing for you and Jacob hope to see some summertime muskie fishing in this stretch of river

Wacky rig on a sliding bobber with a splitshot and on a dropshot is amazing 😊❤

I'm buying a couple of packs of those 10" magnums. LOL ...heading to Minocqua in early June. Would love to hook into a Musky or a big pike...

Fantastic fishing guys. Matt, you are a phenom.

thanks for taking us along. another great day on the river awesome job gives me something to try next time i chase the musky

Awesome day! 2 buds going out having a great day out on the water

Great video its good to have someone fish with you that does not get jealous and wants to sabotage your day cause of madness, If 2 wants the best for each other what a diffence it makes, The day goes right no matter what goes wrong.

Great video and congrats on 400k 🎉

You are the Muskie King Matt great video....get into my net! Lol Cheers Dave from Ontario, Canada

So glad Jacob got into one too!

Glad you went back to the muskie hole. Good catch 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈👏👏

Glad to see Jacob double up.

“Fishing is all luck” Then there’s this guy.

I'm dying here in the first 2 minutes 😂

I’ve never targeted musky, but have caught 3 now on a regular 5” senko, Texas rigged! They seem to like em!

Four monsters trying a new lure. The level of satisfaction must’ve been indescribable!!! Unlike my case yesterday on a largemouth fishing trip. I caught six fish around 2 pounds. It took a lot of effort and a long walk on a fairly hot day and my back really hurt at some moments. Not a big deal but fairly satisfying. But the frustrating part of it was that I lost other six bass, nice bass, and three of them over three pounds. They simply got unhooked in the battle near the bank while I was trying not to trip over while looking for a shallow part to safely get the animal. Except for one: I saw the wake of a bass approaching my weightless rigged senko-type worm accurately cast parallel two meters off the bank. On just setting the hook my double uni knot broke off and most weird of it I recovered a tiny part (less than 1 cm) of the fluorocarbon on the braid whose noose came intact! The braid had cut off the fluorocarbon! Unbelievable…Some thirty minutes later and some 100 meters away I saw a big bass cruising around with a strange distinctive clear spot on the tip of its mouth. I am quite sure that “spot” was my double colored pink-green plastic worm sticking out. That was some hour after I started fishing and I still had five hours ahead for making up that disappointment ( the second one around). I recalled Matt’s frustration when he lost that huge muskie on his last video but he was happily and greatly made up when he managed to catch the other monsters. Not my case. Two of my last fish lost were over three pounds and that unfortunately happened at the end of the day and therefore with no other fish to make up. It was simply I was telling myself “At last a big fish that makes me forget the previous disappointments!” and then…the fish came off!!! I felt like crying like a kid out of frustration. It was as though some sort of evil spell had been cast on me. I was really really disappointed on my long drive back home. But after a while I regained my contention and I looked back on the positive side of the day: I had successfully tested some cheap Chinese plastic worms scented with a homemade garlic ointment I had discovered in the internet. I also reflected on my possible failures. Maybe I should’ve set the hook more forcefully so that my Gamakatsu hook had pierced the hard cheek bone of the bass. It’s really hard to extract it from that part even using some pliers. Well that’s fishing! And we fishermen are fortunate people to be healthy enough to go fishing even when some big fish shake off the hook. Surely after the anger some laughs will come and some stories to tell to family and friends. Certainly a reason for gratitude being able to go fishing.

What an epic day indeed. So glad you found a suitable net! Awesome stuff Matt.

CONGRATS on 400k, Matt been here since forever seeing you get the recognition you deserve man!!!! Can’t wait for 1 million

Great video. I really like using the Rubber nets. The treble hooks are much easier to unhook..

Great job Matt really enjoyed this video!

in the first part of the video i guess a truck came by and it sounded like an old DC3 airplane flying by..not complaining just thought it was funny. great fishing trip like usual, thanks!

Congrats on 400K Subscribers !!!

I checked a few websites and these 10” Magnums are close to selling out in many colors.

my boy:4, Jacob :1 jajajaja. the pressure of going against with the best. 😬

Let's goooooo best channel on KZfaq...I finally got a chest mount but I'm using my phone. It's better than nothing

That huge wacky worm was tearing those Muskie up! I’ve fished a similar hook placement on a 6” worm in NC but it is called a trick worm. Great video Matt!

Yup, I’m very certain that you could catch fish in a mud puddle! Lol. Awesome day with another awesome video. Thanks for the entertainment. 🤙

You caught the most, but Jacob caught the biggest. What a beautiful muskie!

11:06 You’re that type of guy that has so much luck that if you were to cast an empty hook out there you’ll still catch a nice fish 😅

Close to 400k! Congrats Matt!

Thanks for sharing this with us. This was awesome

Crazy Cool technique! I’ll try it for tiger musky in Colorado. Thanks for a great cyber space fish along!

That net made the difference man! Game changer!!

Grats on 400k dude!

Amazing day! Thanks for giving them a try and thanks for the vid!

🎶 ewww🎶 😂😂 great video! 13:04

Sounded like speckle belly geese flying over on the first fish.

You got a new subscriber today, I think your content is great!!!

I love these videos so much also early congrats on 400K!!!

Awesome video on a clever technique. The first time I caught a musky on a bass jig I was surprised to say the least. I thought it was a giant channel cat at first. But I guess it’s a technique some people use. My local river here in Ohio has finally shaped up, so it’ll be some smallmouth and a random pike or two tomorrow. It’s been a long winter.

Nice day on the water ! Good stuff

wow. amazing fish. i can’t believe how calm you remain. i would be loosing my mind if i hooked into one of those. great video

Love the vids man
