Honestly, I just found this channel last weekend and instantly subscribed. The dude's voice could honestly be a part of ASMR therapy. 😂 It's just a chill, realistic fishing channel. Some of these dudes reel in a tiny largemouth start acting like they just won the Powerball and Mega Millions simultaneously. I don't get it. This dude is way more my speed.

I just discovered this channel and as a long time kayak fisherman I am in love with it ha

I know the feeling. Last summer I had a bass smash a whopper plopper which was my first fish ever on a top water lure. Last year was when I invested in my first bait caster rod and was really my first time experimenting with artificial lures at all really. Ever since then I’ve completely fallen in love with my bait caster and lure fishing in general. Been the most fun I’ve ever had fishing and I’ll probably never go back.

Congrats man. Tight lines 🤙🏻

@@aarongregory4980same story for me man except when you birds nest hahaha

Did you get that Ozark trail frog? Haha

He could catch a bass in a toilet!😮

I know! This guy is a fishin fool! He could probably go pro angler if he wanted too. Maybe he will with this channel? He makes it look way easier than it is imho.

Facts

It's his soft sultry voice. Like the Bob Ross of fishing

The fish are trying to get big on KZfaq.

Hey, has got you addicted too lol 😆

@vbros7 Matt is an amazing caster , if you think this is good & it is take a look at Gong Li from thailand. This guy can put a lure anywhere he chooses & he fishes in places such as the Amazon for all kinds if fish but this is just one part of a 4 part clip where he fishes for the Monster Black Bass . Best caster i have seen in many a long year & these bass are KILLERS !!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNCnpMqLypvGaYU.html

I have owned five boats in my life, I never even considered a kayak until I started watching these videos. I will never go back to a boat, I have never caught so many fish as I do from my kayak, I love how easy it is.

If your missing a bunch on the frog, cut the “legs” so that they’re only an inch or so long. Then take a pair of pliers and bend the hooks about an 1/8 inch off the top of the frog. Your bite to hook up ratio will go way up.

@@smelltheglove2038are the legs the little pom pom looking things at the end? I had the same problem yesterday got multiple blow ups, let the fish run with the frog for a solid 4-5 seconds, but couldn’t hook ‘em up. Definitely gonna bend the hooks out a little more that’s a good idea.

@@Sage-vl3so yeah, the legs are like the rubber tassels. Some frogs have real legs, I don’t really like that kind. Your problem sounds like you’re just not setting the hook. Pull straight back when you see them take it. Dont pull sideways. You’ll pull it right outta their mouth.

@smelltheglove2038 bro, you are the man thank you for all the information. 🙏🤙🏼

Or a water moccasin

That is the one positive of our 40 below zero winters. 🤣 No gators or venomous snakes!

It’s been a fun summer! I tried a ton of new spots this year! I struck out at a lot of them, probably winterkilled the last couple harsh winters, but when you find a new spot on the map and go out there and hammer some topwater bass it’s an awesome feeling!

Your channel is one of the reasons I got into fishing, especially kayak fishing and now I couldn't imagine not fishing. Love the videos, you're the best thing on KZfaq. Keep it up! @@ndyakangler

Nothing quite that bad, I’ve had a few locals comment I’m ruining the spot by posting vids but I generally fish secluded spots where I don’t run into other people often. It’s becoming more common on the rivers I fish, either I’ll run into someone on the water or have someone pull up as I’m loading or unloading my kayak and tell me they enjoy my videos so I guess a few people are doing some detective work on the spots I fish lol. The only time I’ve experienced someone harassing me in person was last summer some guy pulled up as I was getting my kayak unloaded and tried telling me I couldn’t launch off the bridge that runs through his fancy neighborhood.

Have you been enjoying it? I've been considering getting my first kayak as well! 🙂

@@doodlesbykeems I have used my kayak, although limited. I think the limited amount of usage has only warmed me up and I don't think I have reached the full enjoyment yet. I like to be on my own so having a small kayak really does fit in with that as it is very transportable by a single person, it does not make any sound on the water so it keeps the tranquility of the environment and its size is just enough for myself and my own stuff. After my first tries the risk of flipping over has been more realistic as I have felt how a kayak moves in the water and reacts to your movements. This should be one of the considerations. If you don't like the idea of this it could be a negative and a boat would be more suited. Because you would always have to be prepared for a flipover in terms of water sealed bags, gear tied down at all times etc. Another consideration is personal as you should have some places in your mind where you can go kayaking. If you don't have a lot of different places to go ask yourself if you are going to get bored after a while using your kayak on the same waters. If you do have a broad range of waters then a kayak instantly turns into an exploring vehicle which is a big plus. I think fishing from a kayak is very niche and therefor very personal. My best suggestion would be to rent one or borrow one from a friend if you can. That will help make a decision.

I’m just glad I found a few fish there! I tried six different lakes like this one the past week or so and struck out everywhere else. Most of them had no signs of life so I’m guessing winterkill got a lot of those little pond spots.

@ndyakangler True. I'm up in Southern Ontario, Grand river mouth near lake erie and we didn't have much of an ice out this year. Maybe bass survived towards north or that small lake has some deeper holes. Glad you found a spot though👍. Hopefully will produce next year as well.

I’m sure it will become one of the spots I hit once or twice a year! I’d like to go back on a warm fall day, I bet they’d be in there when the sun is warming up that shallow water.

@@ndyakangler And I'll bet that marsh is even MORE beautiful in the fall! Especially if one fishes it in a new Hobie kayak. Hah!

I’m guessing they don’t get fished much. I didn’t see a bunch of trash around the road there which sadly is almost a guarantee at spots that get fished.
