Does anyone else find the sound while he is paddling is odly satisfying?

My river is usually saying, "Nice spinner. May I have it?" at then it takes it.

When you broke the ice at the beginning, that was satisfying

I actually followed you when you only had like 12K subscribers and rediscovered you now again. Awesome videos 😊

NDYakAngler: Give me a fish River: *Understandable Have A Nice Day*

What an underrated KZfaq channel. This guy knows his stuff and is better than all those fake bass anglers that overreact on every fish. Thanks for the videos man! 😄

The KZfaq said, "Here, have an NDYakAngler vid".

You embody what fishing is all about, relaxing on the water with the added bonus of catching fish.

Casually catches a big pike and with no change in his voice "that was epic"

Merry Christmas everyone Happy fishing

I've been on a quest for the elusive NJ pike when KZfaq recommended your movie. You are like the Bob Ross of fishing...very relaxing! Well done sir.😁

Every single time i fish somewhere, the river says here take stick

Have a very blessed Christmas. Stay safe out there everyone.

"mild weather" while breaking ice! I'm in So Cal!

This man is the Bob Ross of fishing! One of my favorite channels on KZfaq!! Bless you my brother 🙏🏽🙌🏽

What a skillful fisherman you are, Matt!!! You calmly hold your net or paddle between your legs so as to gently get the pike out of the water while you comment. The part on time 8:53 of the video is simply superb, quiet an achivement. Congratulations my friend. I enjoyed your fishing action…a lot!

For a second, I was like wait, is he going to fish from the little iceberg he is making?? lol

Normally I'd say, "I can't believe he caught that fish." But then I think, this is Matt Nelson we're talking about here.

You have the perfect voice for relaxing listening. Reminds me of one of those late night FM stations that has smooth jazz or classical music.

Xcemic...my point exactly. Very early on when I first began watching Matt’s videos, my first observation was the absence of loud, obnoxious background music which immediately got my attention. Given a choice between a calm voice surrounded by the sounds of nature and a paddle gently rippling through the water versus ridiculous, loud, obnoxious music, I’ll take the former every time no contest. Other fishing KZfaqrs take notice, this is how it is done. Superb video Matt‼️

The Bob Ross of fishing. I know, it must have been said before, but this is so soothing and impressive.

I know this is an older video, but you have the craziest fish catches ever. Love your videos my guy!

When I see how you professionals fish, your hands are so graceful. My fat little hands are all jerky and clumsy. I mean, I catch fish, but I wish I could catch discerning fish. All mine are clearly brutes. I just started using a lew’s baitcaster and I had trouble choosing a rod, so I got the one you linked on one of your videos, and I caught my first baitcaster fish and it was the largest bass of my life. 👍🏽 Thanks for the info!

I swear your Videos are amazing, I have learned so much from you! I watch your content EVERYDAY old and new you are T.V. to me .. You are the BEST FISHERMAN on KZfaq , way better than the Pro's!!! May the Great Rivers of the North Bless you Sir! 🙏🙏💪💪💪🥶

It is absolutely bea... SLAM comes a pike! That was perfect 👌 beautiful day beautiful fish

Best fishing channel on youtube, feels like I’m watching a tv show

I learn so much by just watching you fish.

Every video seems to have that one, "That was crazy" moment. Love this channel!

Pike and Muskee are such beautiful and majestic looking fish 🐟! So are bass, so thank you for letting me watch you enjoy your self and I get to enjoy your videos. You are the best sir!

I subscribed because I will fish anywhere I i can and to learn more ways to enjoy what I love toi do, "Fish". thanks and keep on fishing

i already know this video is good without watching it. please keep yourr work up

I lost a lipless crankbait near that launch a week ago on a tree. Can you get it back for me? (kidding of course, nice fish!)

Loved the ice breaking class!

Here we have a happy little pike. A nice little surprise while these birds fly by - says the Bob Ross of kayak fishing

Great video as ALWAYS! Either of those pike would make my year! Thanks for taking us along, once again!

Always makes my day when when of your new videos posts. Thanks for taking us along. Entertaining, and I'm learning so many great fishing techniques.

Pretend you’re water, just floating without any effort having a good day -Bob Ross 🐟

Gotta love sight fishing! Another great video, thanks for helping me get through the winter

Always quality content when you upload. Thank you!

The seasoning of the years is really coming out in both your presentation and perhaps, more importantly, experienced knowledge of what you are presenting........I'll continue to watch, sometimes learn, and enjoy what you do.....Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Thanks for the Video Matt! Spending my day doing laundry and watching my favorite you tubers! Nice mild temps in Northern Illinois too.

When I hear 'pike' I'm there. I thoroughly enjoy watching those pike emerge from the depths. There are no pike where I now live so very happy to see you enjoying their pursuit. Napp och Nytt!

I very much enjoy the sound of the paddle moving through the water! I love theses videos. Always go to Hayward, WI to the quiet lakes to fish. Thanks for sharing.

I like that net under the legs trick, going to have to use that next time 👍

" I can not believe that just happened " ... I CAN bcuz your the most calm fish whisperer ... And your vids are so relaxing and fun to watch man ! It's so nice to see other good fishermen catch fish even if I can't go fishing. Keep them coming !

Have yourself a great Christmas and New Years and as always great stuff!

Once again you give us something when we didn't expect anything at all. Thanks a lot, and be sure to thank the river for me.

Dude reminds me of that old dude back in the day who painted pictures on tv...lol.. Perfect narrator...great job!

God. Just love that there is absolutely zero noise!! Just you, the sun and the scenery, Nice! Im jelly

I've learned so much from you, love this channel! Keep doing you man!

God I love this content your vids are amazing calm but still so exciting love the pike videos those are my favorite

Haha, love these videos, wish I could find fish like you do but you put your time in I'm sure to get to this level. Good for you.

The Bob Ross of fishing. A true master

One of my fave KZfaq channels. Always exciting to watch a new vid.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing those beautiful pike emerge from the deep. Everyone seems to have a favorite fish to catch. Pike do it for me. I am right there with you when it comes to landing a nice pike. Thanks for sharing! Napp och Nytt!

Any mild December days you can catch a few is a good day. Usually the rivers give me more slippery rocks as I'm wading lol. Love the epic sight fishing, that is truly incredible when you pull it off.

Awesome catches! I like it how you break off ice pushed away to put your kayak in!!!!

I am getting calm and relaxt watching you fishing. You've got swag dude! I enjoyed this vid again!

That second one was really entertaining to watch. Nice job not spooking him!

You my friend are the Bob Ross of fishing

Loved the over-the-shoulder camera angle in this video!

The Bob Ross of fishing. Just saw that, and it’s spot on. I sure do enjoy fishin’ with ya, man.

Pike is my favorite freshwater species! Such an awesome fish! Happy Holidays brother 🎄 🎅 🔔 🎀 ❄ 🎣

Matt: "Oh wow, there is a big pike sitting right next to me in the water. I wish I could show you." Everyone else: "We'll see it in just a second when you pull an amazing trick and catch it."

the best channel on youtube.

What an amazing pike

I'm sure you have heard this a million times, but you have the most relaxing voice. You could seriously be a hypnotist. I'd pay big money have you hypnotize me if it would make me catch more fish. LOL. Always enjoy the videos. I look forward to more ice fishing!

Very nice Pike. That was great, with the Pike by the boat, wow.

Dude, you’re the fish whisperer I swear! 😂 Pike swims up to your ‘yak waiting for you to present the lure and BAM! Fish On! Triple thumbs up! 👍 👍👍

Thanks for another great video, love your channel. Always watching from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

Happy New Year fisherman! It's going to be a great fishing year!

to go with the beauty of the places you fish and the great tips and advice you give

My son and I love your videos bro! As a new content creator I dig your style... and that you kayak fish! Keep at it!
