Really cool underwater footage. Definitely worth the extra effort to make it happen.

camera footage was pretty cool, hard work like that will put you on TV

That hidden bay is why I love kayak fishing.

Love your videos. No clickbait on your channel and no stupid fake hype in your content. You are DEFINITELY the most underratedKZfaq angler.

Love it when you combine the cast, the underwater take, and the retrieve. You are a good editor, as well as a great angler. I learn something from every one of your videos.

No, bs, no ads, no products plugs. Just great content. Appreciate it man.

In all of your videos that I've watched, the scenery is absolutely beautiful. The songs of all the birds or evening critter serenades is as peaceful as it gets. Plus you get to catch some amazing fish. God has truly blessed you. Thanks for sharing a part of your world.

These videos are phenomenal. I am personally not even really someone who likes fishing, but your videos are so calming, very mindful

I've been studying at university away from my hometown in Sweden where my kayak resides and god do I miss it... But within a couple of weeks summer break will be here and I can finally get out fishing again. From a Swedes perspective your channel is by far the best American one out there, since our view of fishing is a far more relaxed one and we do not subscribe to that silly "hype culture" American youtubers try to sell. (although it is growing unfortunately...) Fishing just seems so natural to you as if it's part of who you are, your comfy and genuine approach to it really inspires me to fish and is the reason I bought my own kayak. Keep up the good work, bless.

The way he pulled apart his paddle reminded me of someone pulling out their sword.

That was really cool how you showed placing the GoPro, backing off, leaving the tiger salamander on the bed, and then getting the strike on camera.

That underwater footage you had? Cool as can be 😎 love your videos man!

Hell, there could be a tree 20 yards from where I'm aiming to cast and still end up in that tree.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to place the camera in all those nest, so we could see the fishes reactions. Really beautiful fish and quality production.

Another reason why I enjoy watching your channel Matt is because you go that extra mile to film amazing videos, like placing the Gopro in the water to record the up close action catching those smallies. Great job! #ThankYou

You’re awesome! I applaud you for taking the time with your videos and taking us along.

Awesome content. Has the utmost respect for the fish, really calming atmosphere, and no BS. Has to be one of the best fishing KZfaq channels I’ve seen yet. Keep up the amazing videos, can’t wait to see what you have in store!

Matt, I appreciate the extra underwater shots. You put out the BEST content! And I love that you keep it real by showing that snag in the tree. You are an expert at casting yet even you can get snagged up. Thanks again and I look forward to a great summer of quality fishing videos from you!

Awesome footage! Thanks for going the extra mile to show us in detail the fish back on the bed and the bite!

Awesome underwater footage. Nice video. Your videos always have me chill. So relaxing!

You make some great videos, but this one, with cameras catching the underwater bed action, is just amazing!

If anyone dislikes your videos they hate their life. Nothing but quality content

Man you take videos to a whole new level. LOVE your channel man! Great work 👌

Love these underwater bed shots! Thanks for sharing!

Great footage from your gopro under water. Adds lot to see how they react. Thanks again from a guy recovering from knee replacement surgery.

@NDYakAngler the way you put this together, with your chest mount cam along with the underwater camera, it's just a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

You are one of the few bright spots of 2020 love your vids man

Wow! Great video....unbelievable footage! Teaches so much about fishing beds. Thanks!

I didn't think your videos could get better but the underwater footage really adds to it. Tight lines!!

Awesome Video really enjoying the content during this difficult time thanks

That underwater footage! I appreciate that extra effort for those amazing shots.

ur like the bob ross of fishing vids and i will never get enough of it

Very cool footage man! That is a wicked salamander lure!

Very cool underwater video. We love it!

Geez Matt, that is some OLN camera work right there! What a inside look at the life of a spawning bass. Nice job!

One day I’ll get a smallmouth bass...in joy watching you fish for smallmouth bass thanks

I saw those lures in the store and wondered. Thanks for the affirmation.

Matt, AKA the Bob Ross of fishing dropped another great video

Awesome Video! I can't wait to get my kayak and make some vids like this, I have been doing vids from my boat but this kayak stuff like you do looks so awesome!

Great video especially the underwater footage showing how you allowed the lure to sit on the bed until the fish grabbed it. Love your channel.

I've never seen such beautiful SMBs. Nicely colored stripes and body, striking red eyes and good growth.

Great vid! Dr. David P. Phillip from the Univ of Illinois has done some great research on Smallmouth behavior and nesting behavior. He breaks down the behavior of how the males protect the eggs once the female has laid them and moved on. He also goes into on how fishing affects the fish on beds. Your vids provide some great info on how smallmouth behave. Such a great sport fish, and its great to see them in great numbers.

Awesome underwater footage 👌, keep'em coming

I know what you mean! The "wind" takes my casts into the trees too!

Hey man great work, you inspired me to get a bbz1 rat with your other videos, I caught my best off the year so far on it and it was fun as hell. Thanks

you gave me the hope to keep on casting lines and getting out there. caught two PB smallies my last outing - 18 inch pigs. Keep up the good work!

Outstanding footage. Well done!!!

The undisputed champion of smallie content.

This video was a blast to watch!

Love you’re vids. I’m saving up for a fishing kayak

Great video! Super secret bay🏆 Yeah the fishing by the big city is starting to get good!

Awesome footage man!!! Love it

Your the Bob Ross of smallmouth fishing.

Well done ! Would love longer videos

I do not fish beds to often.. 1 I do not like to disturb them to much during the spawn and 2 I like bass meat.. and I just couldn't keep any of these beauties while on the spawn.. But once and awhile.. it is fun.. thanks brother for the nice morning on the water.. carry on!

Sickest underwater footage ever! 🔥🤘🏼

Great job! Smart fishing! Most people don't even have a clue! Nice healthy river fish, great eye colors! Keep up the good work! Reminds me of when l lived in Wisconsin as a kid and had a river in my back yard! Now l live in Hawaii but l still rather be fishing in the river or lake Michigan when the salmon run! Thanks!

Best KZfaqr on the planet

Spook em off the bed, set up camera on the bed, then wait for some AWESOME underwater strike/catch footage. AWESOME!

Awesome underwater footage!

Awesome work on this one!

Good work there and keep it going! You should hit 100K subscribers soon!

Great idea putting rheq camera on the beds. Awesome video

The underwater footage is soooo sweet.

great footage of fishing biting the lure. Keep up the good work.

Nice work. I learned a lot about smallie bedding behavior. Now I just have to find the beds

That thumbnail might be the coolest one I’ve seen so far. 🔴👁🦎

Amazing footage

Love the under water footage, secret hidden bay, AKA home to big small mouth bass.

Great job! Got first top water action yesterday here in CT. Chartreuse X-rap pop did the trick for some bronzebacks

Its crazy we are now finally spawning. Crazy lol nice catches

The underwater cam is super nice. May be a lot of work to set up but definitely worth it. And the "I know don't throw into the trees" made me laugh lol

Sick footage man.

Love those red eyes when they are spawning.

Loved your videos since the yellow yak. Been watching how consistent the quality of fish in your neck of the woods are. Very jealous

the underwater cam is really cool to see. keep it up

Getting into a little spot like that is what I love so much about yak or little John boat fishing. Getting in places no one else can go. Found so many honey holes that way.

Love the places you fish
