For anyone who needs a testament to this guy's quality, I asked to meet him for a fishing date and he met me here, one of his most reliable spots, and spent the whole morning fishing without a gopro, not even trying to get a video out of it. And everything he said about what and where to throw ended up being true. I got a good pike and a few snickers and snookers.

Man, a fish most people will never catch in a lifetime and you caught more than one. Great video.

"Making my way down the rocks, so I don't slip and fall, and break my rod and my neck." Priorities.

I do not fish, but I do deal with extreme anxiety. I’m sure you realize the impact you have on anglers, but I just wanted to thank you for the peace you give to those who don’t fish. I swear these fish get caught just to meet you. 🤷‍♂️

One of the best things about his style is how fast he gets the fish off the hook and back into the water!

My family and I rest on Saturdays and part of that tradition is watching your latest video! Thanks for great videos every week

I literally got back from a bike ride and sat down and said “I wonder if there’s an NDYakAngler video up” I open my KZfaq and it’s the first thing in my recommended. I love this channel ❤

I might have to start using 8” swimbaits to catch my bullheads from now on.

You never fail to give us the best fishing video!

New follower, excellent videos and highly appreciate the polite narrative. Like fishing with an old wise friend. Thanks for your work on finding the fish, recording, editing, uploading. No fun getting skunked, or posting that footage, but you have mentioned it in the past, so the overall picture is more realistic. Well done good sir.

Hands down, the best fishing channel. Would love to meet this guy someday and learn some of his fishing skills first hand.

How you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me, easily my favorite KZfaq angler! Thank you for all the videos !!

"Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww. It's a bullhead." Best narration ever.

Your advice, and more importantly just simply watching how and where you fish, has literally made me an exponentially better angler over the past 6 months or so that I have been enjoying your channel. Catching bigger better fish almost every time I go out. Thank you for the work you put in, and the peaceful nature of your videos. Keep casting em out and I'll keep biting em🤙🏼

Hey Mr. Yakangler.....i just want to say that you make THE best fishing content on KZfaq and just to throw this out there, i think that if you started a podcast on top of your fishing vids that it would be extremly popular, small river fishing is a mystery to a great many of us and i would absolutly listen to you talk about it. Im sure others can agree with mt statement. Thank you for staying true to what a fishermen should look like!!!

I love watching his videos there's no music, like other videos just him chatting and explaining. Things just in all awesome videos

Great persistence Matt and netting those big ones while fishing solo from shore on those rocks is very difficult!

Wow!!! Nice little stop at the spillway 😃. There’s a lot to be said for simplicity, and your videos prove that! Love them……. Thank you Matt!!! 👍🎣

you are blessed to have a spot like that

When I need a relaxing, exciting fishing vid, NDYakAngler never disappoints

So much for the saying," The fish of 10,000 casts." 😉

Nothing is better then watching you fish at 8:00

Awesome Matt I have that exact lure love the way they just hang in the water when u pause although I’ve not had anything as big on it what a session fantastic fishing enjoyed it thank you 🎣👍🏼👍🏼

I love the honesty. Tells us how he just got skunked for the last 5 hours. A very rare quality (the honesty) in this country today. Hugh kudos to you Matt !!!

If that spot was here by me, there would be 50 other people there....

Just watching you walk on those rocks makes my bum ache as I'm about 90% sure I'd end up falling at some point. Also the little catfish were a nice surprise. Always appreciate the unexpected.

I've been meaning to get up there. Great job Matt!

I have to say that you, Richard gene and cole and jay are my fave fishing channels to watch! You are all so wholesome and down to earth and you can see the real joy that fishing brings to you! Would be awesome to meet all you great people💜 😊Fish on!! 🎣

A lifetime catch of musky, in a couple hours, great job

These videos with the Spillway Beasts are top notch. I always feel adrenalin rush and I'm at home. Thanks!

I always enjoy his fishing episodes.He always explains Very well what he plans on doing that particular day. When he hooks into a big one He gives the fish quite the fight.

My favorite KZfaq fishermen of all time!! Me and my dad love watching your videos together!!

I know you have to go through some nasty winters to get to the other three seasons, but you sure have some really incredible fisheries that you have access to. You're so blessed. Thank you so much for sharing them with us! That walk down to your fishing spot was pretty steep. Wouldn't want to be the one cutting that grass. I also was kind of amazed at where you set your gear. For me.. that's real snaky looking area. I'd be scared I'd get bit when I went to pick up my backpack, rod or net. Thanks again!

Interesting the fish get up behind those concrete blocks. I wondered about that in previous videos in this location. The water doesnt appear that deep in that spot. Thanks for the Saturday morning fishing!

Great catches! Bank angling at its finest. Cool to see the muskies. They are a unicorn where I fish. Thanks again for sharing👌👍🎣

This and Billyfishing are my two fishing YT favorites. Would love to see you two guys hook up and fish Norway and Minn

Thanks for sharing this with us. This is awesome. Your videos are the best. Keep doing what you do.

This just made my utube morning a lot better. Thanks Matt!

“Break my rod… and my neck” in that order 😂

I'm glad you make videos for us. Thank you and keep uo the good work!

As a newbie kayak angler, i appreciate all the tips. And, don't take this wrong, but with that calm voice, I feel that you're the Mr. Rogers of fishing!

Another great video, Matt, and as always, I enjoyed every moment! Take care and be safe. Anxiously awaiting your next video!

Of all the guys that I watch fishing, you are the only one that I would totally love to go fishing with. The only thing is I would want to take a few home to eat!!! Another great fishing video,enjoyed every minute of it.. Have a blessed day !!

Pike and Musky are my favorite fish. Both are beautiful and majestic fish 🎣. Another great video, thanks.

Your videos are so relaxing and fun to watch, and Im even learning some new things from your videos as I’m sorta new to fishing

Wow! 3-NICE muskies in one day. From the bank no less! Incredible! Great job!

Not bad for a quick stop love the spillway videos

Some epic battles! Thanks for your content.

That second musky you caught was huge, and very beautiful. The colors were absolutely stunning.

Awesome! Thank you for more Musky and Pike! 🤘🏻

Can I ask everyone for some fishing advice? I watch a lot of these amazing videos from ND. I went fishing last week for a few days on vacation. Tried every lure in my tacklebox all excited (I grew up using live bait worm-hook-bobber) thinking I would catch a fat bass or pike. I got NUTHIN! Either nothing was big enough to bite my lure near the dock, or I'm (likely) doing something wrong. Why does worm and bobber work better for me in general? I caught like 20 fish over the 3 days (all small-ish ones under a pound) but it was all on the bobber. Even going out in the boat with my uncle we got 1 bass on our lures combined in 6 hours. LOL Thanks for any tips! Big fan of the channel ;D It lets me go fishing without fishing when I can't haha

Guy just casually hooks onto 3 fish in an hours time that some of us would consider a fish of a lifetime here in Ontario. Great video again!

Your videos showed up in my feed a few weeks ago. Never fished in my life. You inspired me to try out the sport at 37. I caught my first fish yesterday and what a thrill! Thanks for the great content 🙏

Love your videos and love for the resource. Keep doing you!

Wow! I have watched several of your videos. I have never caught a muskie. You do an excellent job. Keep it up.

Hey! Glad the spot worked out again!

Awesome video, Matt! 👏🏾

Always a good day when Matt blesses us with a video

Great job as always Matt and I love the color of that swimbait... It's golden... And I agree with the one viewer who would love to see a bloopers video😂😂😂!!!

Ohhh, man! That muskie was nice! I'm big into fly fishing, but between you and another (local) fishing TY channel I've tried catfishing for the first time this week. I got two on the first 1.5h outting. Keep up the good work!

Great video mate that muskie was nice there smashing that lure

Pretty epic musky fishing from shore! Nice work

I love your videos man, I wish I had a spots like that near me.

My god what a first catch on that Musky wow .BEASSSST

Toutes mes félicitations pour ces magnifiques moments de pêche!

Excellent video with the Savage Gear swimbait and its yellow colour. Encouraged by what I watch from Matt I purchase any lure he uses and is available over here in Europe. That spillway is wonderful and I identified it via Google Maps. I love all the videos Matt records at that fishing venue. Those big beautiful muskies are quite a reward. Awesome…

I love your videos, keep em coming.

Hey, Matt. Really dig your channel... always checking back to see what you're up to. I think some of your regular viewers would love a Blooper Reel.. snags, drifting into brush, etc. Not that its a competition, but something for all of us out here tackling rivers and lakes in our kayaks who feel inept when stood up against your (no doubt edited) escapades. Tight lines, my friend!

Great Video Matt, I had a musky steal my 13 in. walleye off my stringer couple days ago. Thought I hit a rock in the kayak. There went my dinner. That’s ok I caught my first Musky 10 minutes later. Stay safe.

Been watching your videos for a while now, easily my favorite fishing channel. Catch and release is the sign of a true sportsman! You’re the best!

Nice fish Matt, 8 days and 173K views, you are doing well... and rightly so, always a pleasure to spend a few minutes with you, thanks for sharing...

The fish of 1000 casts and gets 3..totally amazing 🙌🏼 keep the vids coming!

Best fishing-channel on KZfaq 😎👍 ... thank you!

It does not surprise me you are using a Frozen (as in Disney franchise) bandaid! I bet you are an awesome dad, Mr Matt. You have the patience of Job. Sing it with me everyone! “Do you wanna catch a musky? Do you wanna slam some pike?”

I always reserve my Frozen band-aids for ice fishing, I would suggest little mermaid or Luca Band-Aids for open water fishing.😂🐟 Thanks for another great video

Your videos never fail to entertain me! Great work 👏

Thanks for not editing out the net issue. That just goes to show that you can be a mere mortal fisherman like the rest of us. That’s the kind of goofy crap that happens to me all the time!!

"EWWWW It's a bullhead" 🤣🤣

That must have been an absolute blast catching those beasts. I recently purchased a savage gear 3 d shiner and just had my new St. Crois BassX Xheavy delivered. It is set up and ready t o go next weekend.

Those Musky are me dream fish to catch and here you catching them one after another!

Oh poor you had to resort to spillway fishing for musky. Action is action, keep up the great vids sub for life!

the best fishing videos on youtube...well done bud

Awsome video!! I’ve been asking for this and you delivered!

This is amazing man, I’ve fished all year here in Minnesota and haven’t got one in yet

Awesome. Perfect timing 👍🏻

Enjoy your videos. They relax me. Have you ever fallen/ slipped into the drink? Would you consider making a blooper reel?

Always enjoying the video's

What a hotspot! I just got back from a week of fishing at my cousins cottage in Quebec and we are on a fairly small but very deep lake. If you have any suggestions for where they might pile up, they would be greatly appreciated. We have caught a couple musky on deeper ledges (30-60 feet) and continue to fish deep water for them because all the shallow weed edges are ridled with pike. As always, great content and keep it up.

Good thing you didn’t give up. That musky was nice!

Great video again!!! All the dams are great fishing spots, talking of dams, have you tried lipless crankbaits at such spots. Those lures can do wonders on turbulent water, probably due to hard vibrating, and optionally rattling...and can withstand heavy current....with right rod and reel combo, you could even try to present it near the other bank.

always the best videos..props!

I've been using the Cabela's XPS brand 4-play lures and they seem to work just as well. Pikes on my lakes are loving them. No muskie in the certain lakes I'm at.

The Frozen band-aid was classic! 😂

The way he unhooked that catfish is the way to do it.

Love your videos! At something with novice I would love to hear you detail your retrieves one technique to the next

i was out on pike last night. had 2 small and then befor leaving a 45.5 inch slamed into my rapala haku. been a follower of this chanel since the time you had that pike on suicide duck from your kayak.

Love your fishing channel!!! Your a Beast💯

Nice Muskie mate. Choice spot too. TIP: for all fisherpersons. Use a wet rag to lift your fish and try to keep your fingers out of the gill slots. Cheers

You live the life brother. Nice video.

Another awesome video well done nice fish
