Don’t know about anybody else but I’m ready for Spring !!!!

Love your videos, they never disappoint. You don't spend the first 20 mins of your video stopping for gas and getting breakfast or stopping at a bait shop. It right to the fishing action that we came to see. No product ads or annoying over the top commentary. Just fishing

I found your channel in late spring of last year, and in September 2022 I summoned the courage to go bass fishing. I had no idea what to do😅, I just went to the store, got a whopper plopper, and just found a pond. I made my first cast and bam! I had a nineteen inch bass on my line, and somehow I landed it. Because of this channel, and these videos I now have one of the best memories god could give me. Thank you NDYakAngler, thank you so much.

I caught my first pike yesterday I know everyone here are already anglers but I can't say how ecstatic I am

The Bob Ross of fishing, and I'm here for it.

Dude, your videos are so relaxing. You're like the Bob Ross of fishing.

Thank you for this beautiful movie.. It's so calm and cosy with the birds singing in the bacground.. I'm from Poland where we have ugly winter now but thanks to you it will be easier to wait until spring:)

I stumbled upon your channel recently and have to say how much I enjoy it. With a voice that deserves to be in radio, a casting arm like a laser beam, and the very sportsman like way you respect the fish while putting them back carefully and quickly, you are a treat to watch. Keep up the good work!

The big pike, bass and even a common snapping turtle, it was all great. Thanks for sharing another wonderful day of fishing. Spring awaits!

Can't go wrong starting out the day with a new ND Yak angler video!

Red-winged blackbirds have a relaxing call. Makes me want to stop fishing and loaf in the sun.

I've been struggling for a week or so with some cripling anxiety and depression and this video really lifted my spirits. It was almost like I could feel the spring sun on my face. I really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.

Such a relaxing vibe

You remind me of ME! In my younger years of course. I remember getting in trouble for skipping school to go fishing. I had a number of times fishing for days at a time. My friend and I seemed to never lose a chance to go fishing. We fished all over Central and Northern Florida for both saltwater and freshwater species. I never went hungry and neither did my family as I got older. Love your work and good luck fishing.

Pike and smallies fight hard. it's awesome.

That lunker hitting lure in front of your 'yak was exciting to watch.

10:26 Kayak skiing.. got to remember that move!

Up here in Maine, jonesing for some open water fishing. Thanks to Mr. ND Yak for stashing this away for his loyal viewers.

A man told me once to cast with confidence every time and if you lose one go get the next one and focus. You're a good rodsman. It's all about getting on the water..Keep up the good vids.We all appreciate them. Fish on!

15:02 That Snapping Turtle was in a deep slumber until you woke him up!!!!!!!!!!! I remember touching a big 40+ pound Carp that was sunning in the shallows about halfway out of the water and when it woke up it went off like a high speed Torpedo on the waters surface for about 30+ feet, a sight I've never forgot.

the ASMR fisherman is back with a nice relaxing video

I love your radiant meditative videos. The flash and glint of fish flanks deep down and the sudden heart stopping takes . For me, you capture the essence of angling. EBI - you are surrounded by spectacular wildlife sounds and sights - was that a pair of bald eagles I saw? So many birds singing. I would love to know more about them. But thank you - your channel is mesmerising.

At 6:11 that scared the crap out of me. 😂

Always beautiful fish, amazing scenery, and the soothing sound of the paddles moving through the water. Favorite YT fishing channel and its not even close

6:06 Was crazy man, The acceleration on that pike was insane.

I love when that happens. Reeling it in and last second when the lure is back at the boat, BAM!

That big pike lost, was what we call down here in the south, an LDR = Long Distance Release :D

Been watching you fish for years now and I got to say these videos of you fishing in summer when it’s really winter are torture. It literally snowed 9 inches up here in maine Thursday !! But keep them up please gets me pumped for spring!!!😂

Thanks as always for superb content, a kind and inviting demeanor, and representing the outdoors with grace, strength, and respect.

That pike was phenomenal. But really, I could sit in that little quiet backwater, and catch those largies all day and be a happy fisher.... Love your vids.

Love the redwing blackbirds chirping in the background. Lots of bird noise. Just fantastic! 😊

I appreciate that you don’t keep those bass on beds out of the water long. We wanna put the least amount of stress on them as possible , so they make lots of babies. 👍🏼

Hearing them redwinged black birds is great sound. I live in a river town in Iowa (mighty Mississippi) and they must like water. Rarely see them in town. Nice Vid

Recovering from a large knee surgery it’s only day three, and I’m so glad to see a new video pop up :)

I love your background music... Bird songs including the Sargent birds. I'm not sure if you northern folk call them that.. Commonly called blackbirds.The ones that have the red shoulder patches on the wings.. Also the other song birds occasionally joining in..🕊️ PS.. I'm never disappointed with your skills at hooking the big ones 😎👍

Matt, that Pike was amazing!

I had a hole on the east Gallatin River that I fishrd for big trout. I fished it in all seasons from 1975-1997. One 7 pound rainbow.

We have tiger muskies here, supposedly pike in Utah lake. But nobody goes there, it is the central drainage for EVERYTHING along the Wasatch front. Straight toxic water no bs. It perpetually has massive blue green algea blooms, huge amounts of heavy metals etc from the cattle ans fertilizer run off. Tiger muskies are as good as it really gets here and they call them the fish of 10000 casts for a reason. I did absolutely DOME one on a jetski at top speed once😅 thought I hit a log or a person it was so solid a thump. Turned around and there was a MASSIVE tiger musky. Dead as a door nail. I pulled it into the footwell, and it still hung 1.5 feet out the back of a large jetski, Absolute monster. Aside from that I've only hooked into 1 musky in 15 years. And we've got a "real good" lake nearby I frequent. I'm jealous 🤣

NDYakAngler's videos are so calming/quite that if there was a jump scare in any of his videos you would get a heart attack.

Had to start laughing when you lost that pike in the beginning and I heard you say sh.. under your breath. Good to hear that Bob Ross lets it fly every now and then just like the rest of us 😆😆

Your program is so nice,with out a whole story before hand, we start fishing, thank you Christine

Your superb videos got me kayak fishing and I can’t believe I didn’t do it years ago. This video nicely captures the pleasure of actually paddling a craft snd getting into tricky spots.

Man not gonna lie that bite at the 6:15 mark scared the piss out of me 😂😂😂 I was basically in a trance from the sound of the lure and the birds in the background and then suddenly all hell broke loose 😂

love never having to scroll to the fishing part!

Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable. I've always found fishing to be therapeutic. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the video today brother. My friend committed last night and i needed something peaceful and wholesome this morning.

No hunting season. Punky ice in our area, the good spots are hard to fish without a machine. I need the snow around for a few more weeks for scouting, but after that let's get to casting. But first it will be jigging for walleye on Saginaw river as it doesn't close this year😁

It's nice that you show us when you unhook de fish. I don't have much experience and for me, this part it's a big challenge seeing you doing it helps me be more confident! Thank you brother great content!

That turtle well at least you got away before you got eaten lol I was thinking the log it was on looked like a giant alligator gar jumping with its mouth open ! Nice fishing dude 👍

Hey Nick 👋 You are by far my biggest influence on KZfaq and appreciate what you do! Also, loved how you kept the sunglasses on indoors when talking to the camera 😎 Keeping true to form 😉 💪

Oh wow. I jumped a country mile when that big pike hit it right at the boat. I can't imagine what your heart rate was like about then.

Yeh. That pike hit was pretty cool.

you're the Bob Ross of fishing

What the pike miss out on looks like the bass will pick it up :)! Awesome video and great editing! Have a great rest of the weekend and take care dude!

I watch your channel a few nights a week before I fall asleep. #Awesome content. Great fish always caught and just a great channel to watch. Thanks for the videos brother!!!💪

NDYak you rock! That pike was big af! Love the channel and content! Peace

I loved that Steve Irwin impression 😂😂

Another superb video! Go away snow!!!

Makes it even more awesome catching and releasing that big brute from a yak! Ive known of folks by me that keep big pike like that sadly, nice vid yak angler!

6:05 HOLY FACKK MANGGG 😨😨.. make me spit my water out all over my screen why dont ya🤓🤓 ... LMFAOOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i was gettin all relaxed an everything, listenin to the water lap on the kayak ever so gently, the birds.. then WHAMMO.. need a new computer monitor lol.. when ur fishin jacks, try givin the lure 1 or 2 even 3 quick lil yanks every 10ft or so, makes an already tantalizing action of a lure that much more so.. anyhooo.. thx for takin me along with ya on this trip.. see ya next time BassMang 👋👋😎😎

This was awesome. Thanks for saving this for us. Very nice pike.

My first fish in a kayak was a big pike on a whopper plopper and it hit right at the front of the kayak. That brought back the feeling of shock and excitement I had. Awesome.

You have this video/fishing thing down pat. No ridiculous music...just the sounds of nature and paddling through the water. Other fishing KZfaqrs take note, this is how it is done.

Now I’m going to have to get me a fishing kayak…you rekindled that need for catch and release…a good day on the water to occupy one day a week for my retirement activities…thanks😎

That hidden cove you found reminded me of fishing some of the more open areas of Caddo Lake. I'd LOVE to see you spend a week or two in THAT swamp to see what you'd catch up between the Cypress trees and knees. You'd just have to watch for Cotton-Mouths and Alligators...lol.

2 pike, 4 bass, 1 turtle. XD 😆 Pozdrawiam

I have that headbanger spitfire in black and it is one of the most fun lures to use. I mean, all topwater is a blast, but that spitfire has some mean action!

Nothing gets your heart going like a top water bite right at the yak :-)

Absolutely the most chill, informative and entertaining fisherman I watch on here. You got great style and know your fish and their environment for sure! Much respect from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦 👊🏻

Best fishing channel on KZfaq.

Not going to lie Matt, when that big pike slammed the Headbanger Spitfire near the Yak I puckered. Probably since your great videos feel like we're sitting next to you. The bass action was good too. Thanks for taking us along brother.

Your channel popped up yesterday fir me, love the content so far. Makes me miss fishing when I lived in the UP.

All I can say is, thank you, and more videos, please!!

25”of ice on my favorite lake out here in Utah. Going ice fishing Monday and can’t wait for spring to get the boat out!

Great content🤜🤛🐟🎣 greetings from Finland🇫🇮🇫🇮

I love when they hit it so close to the boat, it's such a rush!

Man, I love your top-water bite footage. So, exhilarating even just as a viewer. Awesome video! Always look forward to these. Immediate save for later if I cant watch right away. 👍

It was like Bob Ross losing it at 14:26..lol..awesome day of fishing my friend..

Here he is! Nice on a long weekend 👌. Just bought a new baitcaster will be going tomorrow for sure.

Great way to start my day just waiting for spring fishing.. watching a new ND Yak Angler vid while respooling the braid on my baitcasters and my new Spitfire lure and my Googan Jr's are just staring at me. The fever is real!

Nice Pike!!! Good seeing fresh new videos!!! Miss watching your videos

Little bit of Canada coming thru in your abouts 😁

Was not ready for that lol love how you kept the anticipation going.

"yea that was pretty cool" is my favorite yakism

They always know when to scare the 💩 out of you lol 🤣 Beautiful fish!!

Was just about to grab some shut eye and now I have to stay awake at least for 24 minutes and 19 more seconds

Nice relaxing video. Thanks.

Did anyone else die laughing after the turtle fell in

At 6:08 that hit scared the hell out of me 😂😂😂😂

I usually start out my day reading the paper but decided to treat myself to this first today! So worth the change up!

More guest appearances from the snapping turtle please🤣

Love your videos. Keep up the great content. Shout out from KY.

Man I can't wait for the weather to warm up. Those are the best spots. The ones you have to do a little bit of work and effort to get to, because 98% of the people don't

Nice outing and beautiful fish!

wow! at 6.08 ... that smash caught me totally unaware! that was HUUUUGE!

So glad you are back! Love your videos! Keep it up!

Can't wait to fish top water again. Love your videos!

Pike are fun to catch.

I Always Wonder what Fishes think When they get released "what the fck was that?! What Kind of creature is that?!" 😂

good!!!!! I am waiting for the new season of spring. there will be a lot of pike.
