I never realised how dangerous it was to be a duckling on a nice summer's day.

I love this channel. Straight up fishing. No dude talking into his camera for 30 minutes and 5 min of fishing.

have not gone pike fishing here in Ireland in over 20 years ,will be going in the next few weeks just realised how much i miss it,,, thanks for making an old man feel young again 👍

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.

who clicks dislike on such a clip? He catches a lot of fish, treats the pikes very gently and release almost immediately. Pro Job!

Pike: "Why is this duckling so dam strong?!"

I love how peaceful this video is… With the only intensity coming in from nice catches.

bro this guy slayed. each one got bigger and he’s not an annoying a** commentator like most fishing you tubers. 10/10

He caught more in five minutes than I have in the last 2 years

i really am not kidding when i say i think you are the best fishing youtuber on the platform right now. theres no fake hype, no begging for likes, just fishing, beautiful fishing, it feels like i’m out there with you on the water matt. thank you. (edit) thanks for all the likes guys! glad you feel the same i do, i love this channel!

Those are some nice Pike, back in the late '90s early 2000s. I used to have my own fishing lure company making spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, jigs and hair jigs. My friend and fellow lure maker was making hand carved bird lures for giant fish like the pike you were catching. He had them in Cabela's for a short time.

3:55 Dude talking about his fishing gear the same way people talk about their load outs in video games. Idk why but its just incredibly funny to me.

No music and no overreacting - Love it! That's exactly what I'm trying to mimic on my channel!

When I was little kid I used to go fishing in the area around my house. I live in The Netherlands, so there is a lot of canals around to fish. I used to watch the ducklings got picked of one by one during the ducks nesting season by big pike and remember being really impressed (for obvious reasons as anyone can see in your video). This is the first time I see someone fishing with a duck lure though, just awesome. Beautiful fish and enjoyed your video very much. The way you handle your gear and the animals is great, with skill and respect that is. Always nice to see a pro at work.

KZfaq fishing channels are better than any cable television today. Change My Mind.

This dude has that one voice that makes you so relaxed 😌

This dude can nearly miss the catch of a lifetime and keep sounding like bob ross at the spa

*you have discovered the location of a LEGENDARY fish*

Ive fished the duck and the rat for 4 years… so many followers but no takes.. and this man just keeps taking one after another

Even watching this three years from now and watching it three years ago, still the same experience

best fishing clip ive seen in a while that was sick

Just a man chilling, catching some some fish and living his best life. KZfaq honestly needs more content like this. Kudos to you man, you deserve every catch you get.

Catch a release at its finest. With a good-sized fish, you really only need one to feed an entire family. Thanks for bringing us along.

the intro with the pike was amazing the most satisfying thing that could happen in fishing

This just shows to go how many likes you can get without promoting and begging for likes. Honestly your the most underrated KZfaq fisherman. Honestly you gotta be my favorite now

There is few feelings in the world better than seeing something huge trailing your bait and just chomping it. Edit: my duck lure came in today, I cant wait to catch some pike

I love when you watch the fish hit it like this

This man's videos are great, feel like I'm out there fishing with him lol. Keep up the great videos and good luck

Plot twist: There's only one pike in the river, who's a paid actor.

Sir, I never would have believed that topwater bright yellow-colored "duck" lure would catch anything. It looked more like a child's toy than a fishing lure. To see those three monster pikes go after that duck was a sight to behold! Thank you so much for this video. Your fishing trip was rewarded and so were we, the viewers. Thanks again!

I enjoyed carp fishing for over a 3 decades, but i have to say...nothing beats seeing a predator going for that lure. Makes me want to go out fishing right this moment.

I never understood ASMR. Now I think I do, this guys voice, background noise is what makes this the most relaxing channel

My wife and I watch your videos often, she calls you the Bob Ross of fishing! We love it! 😄

4:00 // He sounds like he was describing a super car when he was describing his fishing pole hahaha

Bros eating good tonight

'm so happy you release them back to nature !!!

“That’s a good sign!” The Bob Ross of fishing is at it again!

I like that you only have to wait 2 minutes for the pay off from the intro whereas other videos would make you wait until the final 30 seconds.

You sir, are the Bob Ross of fishing

As I sit at my desk, watch it rain and watch your videos I can’t help but feel a wee bit jealous. 😂

You know you’re a fisherman when the sound of that backlash at 1:58 gives you slight anxiety

Pike was like, "Damn, caught on the same bait three times,"

I gotta say it: this person's casting is gorgeous, every flick feels so clean and natural **chef's kiss**

Nothing better than hearing that knot up in the middle of a cast lol

This dude is so calm when he's catching a monster fish I love it that your so calm!

That fish is probably thinking “how is this duckling so strong”

In Manitoba some people FLY fish for Pike. (We generally call them Jackfish or Jacks) Once hooked they'll jump out of the water like a Marlin!

Best video on you tube,no drivng gettin bait just plain fishing and no bad music

I have never heard a man remain so quiet and calm catching a monster pike at the boat. !I'd be hooting and sreaming like a school girl!

Is there an academy award for these videos, because you deserve an Oscar for best sports action short video.?

I keep watching this clip, and love it.

Wow! Exhilarating but a bit scary even when the pike snatches the lure SO close to your kayak!🥶🤣

“That was friggin’ crazy” 😳 You’re not kidding, that was crazy! Fantastic video yet again - 11 minutes of fishing nirvana 👍

This is the best fishing video I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. As a kayaker, as a muskie & pike fisherman, as a fish lover this video is the day I dream of while I’m out on the river.

These are real monsters! Greetings from Ukraine!

Love how he includes his shoes in description. Dude is dedicated love it. Very useful to put your gear in description thx dude

Omg I finally found a fishing KZfaq channel that has a host that doesn’t seem very over excited

When I go fishing and my rod starts to bend it usually just a weed

Some beautiful catches! Major respect to how well you treat whatever you catch.

I'm so happy about youtubes "New to you" feature. I wouldve never stumbled upon this corner of youtube, this was so relaxing

I cant even understand how this guy catches and records some of the most amazing topwater fishing strikes u will ever dream about!! The content on this channel, even dating back to 6+ years ago is the best on youtube, its in its own category. Nothing comes close!

Can we take a second to appreciate how good he casts. He makes it look so easy lobbing that thing so far. Also, this video is so deserving of 10mil views. Super good quality video

Your content is AWESOME period

I love coming back to this video even 2 years later, just awesome fish with great hook ups. Super fun to watch.

Duck: this looks like a good area for the ducklings *sees fake duckling get massacred by a monster pike* Duck: yeah... never mind

Five little ducks went out one day over the hill and Far Away mother duck said quack quack quack while the pike enjoyed a little duck snack

Bob Ross on a boat, loved the whole video could watch this man fish and chat all day.

Wow, there is nothing like top water fishing, I recently got a top water bat and I'm super excited to use it this summer.

You have to applaud the overall skill on display here. Not only is he a tremendously fluid and accurate caster with every lure type I've seen him use, but his hook-set reaction is snappy, his demeanor calm, and his fish-fighting skill on point, but he ALSO quite often has to adjust the kayak's direction mid-fight. This is not an easy thing to do. It requires coordination, focus and dexterity. Check it out at 7:35. Great cast, hook set, and fight. The size/power of the fish easily pulls him down stream toward hanging tree branches. He has to keep the fish pinned and maneuver the yak out of the tree path which usually means trapping one side of the paddle under the rod arm while changing direction with the other. This is not the only video where this happens, and occasionally you'll seem him back paddle because the momentum is working against him. A lot of talent on display here 👏🏻. My favorite yak angler on YT. Bravo.

this man is shaking from those sick adrenilin moments

Tip based on me watching your teqnique, when you have that far a cast flip your line hard left and right to make a quarter of the famous figure 8 and you should catch even more big fish. Congrats on your massive catch though!

i love watching that pike strike! your a good fisherman

I bagged myself an 11lb pike this weekend up by Prairie du Chien in the Wisconsin river. It was great!

NDYakAngler: oh, there’s a Pike. Me: Exploding Prehistoric Alligator just raged on that duck carcass!!

Pike have a ferocious bite when hitting a lure. Make a bass seem like a kitten.

My wife and I were wowed by this duckling/pike video. We had to buy one. I hope you are getting a kick-back on the sales. You certainly gave a good demonstration of the baits abilities to catch monster pike! 🙂

"He's not happy." Because it's the fourth time he fell for that lure...

Pike: Rubber ducky I am awfully fond of you!

Man this video is so cozy. I never got the chance to actually catch a pike or muskey myself, but man this reminds me of seeing my older brother and grandpa catch mosnters when I was a kid.

Such a pleasure to watch you fish!!! Those pike are amazing! You ever come to Indiana, I'll pay for your lodging to go fish the white river for smallies with you, food and paint one me, smallies on you 💪

Dude I'd lose my shit after the first one..incredible footage

It’s crazy how many comments say this is best fishing channel on KZfaq . Totally agree. I don’t know why he doesn’t have 10 times as many subs

Is he not the Bob Ross of fishing. So calm and soothing yet passionate!

Legenda głosi że to ta sama ryba cały czas się łowi.xd.Pozdrawiam 🙂

2:10 это было красиво, столь внезапно появилась эта гигантская щука О_О

His voice is so relaxing

I know that feeling of catching those big pike! Fisherman’s dream!

OMG. I grew up on pike with my dad and uncle but with live 12" chubs in a slow muddy deep creek no more than 15 wide. They would catch 10-12 a day! This is incredible. I want to be there and do this!!!

2:11 - legendary coming up from the deep from nowhere and follows duck intense. Epic!

Holy Mother of Poseidon. What a day! Epic stuff!

Imagine being that pike and you go to have a little ducky snack than all of a sudden your in for the biggest fight you ever been in 🤣 🤣

This is the bob ross of fishing😂

WE ALL KNOW these vids are waaaay too E-P-I-C for this guy to keep working a day job 👏👏👏

Only Matt would have a back lash result in a 40" pike biting a duck lure 5 feet from the kayak.

Catch and release must be like an alien abduction, probably saved some ducklings with those lessons

Blue ribbon day; blue ribbon fish; blue ribbon video!

I think that was my favorite fishing video I have ever watched on this platform. No clickbait, begging for likes, or super long periods without a fish (most fisherman on this app). You just go and fish. Nothing else, just beautiful fishing

Can we just Appreciate How creative He is?

Probably the best intro of all time. I remember that exact thing happened but with a frog and man.. your heart gets pumpin quick

One of my favorite videos! I love how you can see the pike in the water. Captures the whole battle!
