One of my fave things about your vids is you don't beg for "likes" or "subs" (Good fish by the way)

Self quarantine, coffee, NDYakAngler

Just watching the first few minutes, your production and editing is looking great my man.

This looks like a ball right here, what a great spot. North Dakota in March, what a surprise. Great shot of those geese in the back ground.

Fantastic video as always. Looking forward to watching another great season. I picked up some nikko hellgrammites and a perch whopper plopper. Ready to go.

THESE CAMERA ANGLES are the BEST! These angles teach me the most about the skill set. That one-handed rowing WHILE fishing, using the torso and upper arm...brilliant. I'm sure you don't even think about it now but it's helpful to see it to understand it. And MAN!!! That closing shot was worthy of an Emmy bro! Mad-skills all around. Great video Matt.

I love fishing at cooling lakes next to plants. Makes it fishable a bit earlier than other places. Great video like always!

Very nice. "Awesomeness" came through loud and clear. Wonderful videography too. Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks Matt, it is inspirational to see someone so humble and down to earth. Great video as always!

Welcome back to the water man! Can’t wait to see more this Spring! 🐟

Very Nice to see you out for 2020. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you for taking the time to show us.

Glad to see that lake is still producing. I too have made the long trek over there in March. Thanks for the great video Matt!

Nothing makes me miss fishing more than your videos!!! Love it man!

Glad to see you found your open water. Can’t wait to get out on in the kayak myself. Great video Matt. Stay safe

Really enjoyed the new Video, glad to see some more face time! Keep up the good work🤙

Happy for you Matt🎣 I'm sure you needed that feeling of anfew food pulls after a long winter! Keep doing what you do best.And that's just being the real authentic you! Tight lines my friend🎣

Glad to see you got your fix in. Great vid as always. ✌️😉

Nice day out on the water you had. Thanks for sharing with us 🤙🏻

One of the best fishing channels. Ready for warmer ND weather!

Great video! I can’t wait to get on the water again with my kayak. Until then, I’m living vicariously through your videos!

Just now able to connect after hearing the alert this morning...nearly 12 hours. Been a crazy great day. Thanks for making it greater. Those were all good fish.... Thanks for teaching me how to use my net in a better way.

Thanks, Matt! I love your videos and your mad casting skills! You’ve got me thinking I might be able to catch a smallmouth once my I get back on my yak.

You were slayin em out there!!! Excellent vid as always! The outtro was Perfect with the Sun setting in the background and the large tree directly behind you, nice scene!!

As always your videos are top notch, hard to believe you were able to kayak fish to ND in March! Great job explaining things as they are happening, keep up the great videos!

Enjoy watching all your videos. In NJ, I surf fish the spring migration of Striped bass, then it's on to the kayak for LMB

It's such is a pleasure to sit down after a long day of work and watch u fish. I have to say you are a great fisherman and you show how enjoyable it is to get out and enjoy the beautiful waters we have!@! Thank you the great quality of your videos!

Thanks for sharing your peaceful calm my friend. I needed this fishing trip now more than ever. I needed to escape from the reality of life right now, and more than ever. I very much enjoyed this fishing trip, and so looking forward to the one's coming. Thanks brother. (And God I Pray; you keep all of mankind safe.

This video was super neat because you show a bit of how you wrangle your kayak with one hand. Man I always pick something up from you brotha. Tight lines man.

Love your videos and your just seem like a down to earth guy I wish you the best on your trips out and be safe

I've been wanting to fish that lake bud. I've got one season on my yack and that place is definitely on my list this year. Awesome!

Just what the doctor ordered to shake off the winter blahs, and no quarantine! Bass have been on fire down here this week, eating just about anything incl crappie jigs. (A 3 lb largemouth on a 1/32 oz jig and 4 lb line is a blast!) Really looking forward to this season and more yak attack!

Another great fishing adventure my friend. Blessings! 🎣👊🏼

Great videos just found your channel nice to see local kayak fishing cant wait to get my kayaks back on water from Detroit Lakes Mn

You’re like the Bob Ross of kayak fishing! I love it, keep up the great videos!

Another great video! You caught some pretty bass,so that’s a good day in my book 📕. Thank You.

Enjoy this view. It’s fun to watch your techniques with the rod and paddle. Last year was my first year and I think I’m really learning a lot from watching your channel. We’ll see in the spring.

best darn fishing vids on KZfaq keep up the great work!

Nice kayak! Great day of fishing you had. There is a lake at the power plant close to me but it is not open to the public! Would love to fish it! Thanks for the videos! God bless you!

I like the camera view on this one! Shows your technique 👍

Good to see you back and out there Matt, and you haven't lost your touch either.

Great video! Love all the camera angles!🎣

As someone who watches way too much KZfaq/ fishing content on KZfaq, you are one of my favourite channels. You deserve way more for your excellent content. Keep up the great work!!!

Awesome day, awesome production - thanks!

Not only this video is awesome, but now I'm feeling down bc I was complaining about the potential rain tomorrow, I'm gonna target peacock bass. Heck, this man is catching fish after a snow storm rolled through!

Awesome video brother, love your channel! Making me miss the north. I’ll be back after the military career, until then.. Ill tie on a shrimp for some redfish and sea trout, tight lines man!

Love all your videos!!

Great. Post apocalyptic fishing haha ! Thank for that . 👍👍

Matt, This was the best video all winter so far. Simply because it was realtime fishing. It was awesome to see you on the water and catching fish, it was special.The others were great videos but a bit surreal because of the season difference. If I had that place nearby I would fish it all winter long. You said it was a long commute for you to get there. If you did not have the Spook and jig tied on it would not be normal. I get the train of thought, warm water they might be into a top water bite. I am sure if there was bait fish or bugs on the surface they would have been. Thanks for another gem.

Glad your back man love your videos

cant tell you how many times I have sat under a tree to keep dry to let the storm go by.great vid as always now u are catching the big green ones too.

Great video as always Matt!

New to your channel but absolutely love your approach and have been binge watching....

Killer footage and edit man! Warmer weather is just around the corner!

My favorite kayak fishing channel

Beautiful scenery. Makes me want to see them in 360

Nice! Water down here in Massachusetts is just starting to warm up and I managed to hook into 7 bass today.

Your channel and content has a very relaxing and 1 with nature type vibe to it, love the channel keep up the vids

Gratz on your first day out in 2020!

Awesome video bud!

Looking forward to watching you fish during the apocalypse. 😬 I’m planning on bass fishing next weekend, weather permitting. Greetings from CA.

My son and I really enjoy 😊 watching ur fishing videos we been waiting for the water to warm up so we can get on some spring beds n still looking for a good spot to crappie fish in MN taking ur adviser n checking out google maps for new places to explore keep making the videos n we will keep watching 👍

I see that power plant from my daughters living room window when we are out there visiting and have wondered if there is any good bass fishing in it! Another great video!

Love watching this channel!!

Nice fish 👍 way to start the season

Every video is amazing!!! Keep it up

so glad you switched to the hat cam... you dont realise how great that perspective is till you've tried it.. glad you didnt get eaten by the kraken under those power plants :D lol good stuff mang 😎👍

cant wait to try out a power plant lake here in VA. they are fantastic from what im hearing!

Well I looked through all of the comments and I guess I'll be THAT guy. First of all, thank you for taking us along. So relaxing to accompany you esp at this time. Unpretentious, solid content. Great personality, etc. Here's my one thing: I prefer the POV from before. Your voice and a much better shot of your casts and hits, make for a more enjoyable experience for me. Sometimes it's not necessary to fix what wasn't broke. Great to see you back!

I'm from Grafton/Grand forks north Dakota lol keep it up nice to see somebody doing good on KZfaq from here in North dakota

Great video as usual. If you ever get down to Southeast Missouri look me up got a clear water river for smallies as well as good lakes for large mouth! Keep the videos coming!

Love the power plant with the smoke stacks in the back

Waiting till our lakes to thaw out . Awesome vid

Keep em coming man. Love the smallies on the Whopper plopper. Got me doing the same on my yak in my local River. #Chunks

Ah just what I needed , I don’t need a Shrink anymore ! New cameras, equipment ? Your videos just keep getting better !

Great video thank you for sharing cheers🍻🍻 from Northern California

Always awesome video brother

In the 90’s I used to fish the outflow of a nuclear plant on Lake Ontario, man, you could catch easily 7-8 species all day long....

NDYak is the Bob Ross of KZfaq fishermen. And I say that in the most complimentary way possible. Nice change from the tools like Milliken.

His videos always get the fish hype goin🔥

Praise Jebers! Matt is back

Would enjoy your take on fishing an unfamiliar river. I’m Trying rivers for the first time this year and looking for tips. You’re vid last year on a fishing a frequent river was great for that as well.

Nice work! seen you there last year to bad i haven't made the trip yet hopefully soon.

Thank God ur back!

Quality content as usual!

another awesome video - thank you

4:55 did something swim up from the water to the right of you? Something pink lol?

WELP your 1st day was better than mine lol. with that being said I couldn't be happier right now! warmest winter in decades up here in Massachusetts. I got one 4lber, five 2lbers, a few just under 2 and maybe 13 pickerel. been out like 10 times on 2020. absolutely unheard of around here. we usually don't even have ice out until April.

Love seeing someone else from North Dakota posting fishing videos

ON THE BOARD!!!3rd jig fish is a piggy!!!brother you picked a gr8 day to do some "Chernobyl - type fishin'"...tell you what bro I hope you fish tourneys out that yak cuz youre very efficient on the water bubba

I been waiting all winter for u to post a new one.

Looks like I am grabbing my jig rod👊😁👍

The Fishin' Magician!

Nice. I love getting footage for my channel at my local power plant lake.

You are as much of a top water junkie as I am. NEVER hurts to try.

In the last 2 or so weeks I've been here sick binging your videos from start to finish. I'm finally all caught up. I notice you do intro's/outro's more often and talk more in videos. Keep that up, I think most of us agree we like to learn more about you and your fishing style. I enjoyed watching you grow into a better fisherman/cameraman. You have a calm, mature personality and I really like that you don't beg for subs every video. You also don't put on some fake over excited and loud persona to act like every fish you catch is a 10 pounder. Lots of companies would be lucky to be sponsoring you because this channel is quality fish and nature. Hell even the bird ambient sounds is top notch and enjoyable. So glad you dont use orange lews rods and reels. I see every kid on youtube using them. Its annoying to see such unnatural colors being used in fishing. Just keep doing what your doing!

Iron maiden is mad I just hit the 667 view moving u off the # of the beast Great vid.the power plant looks good.congrats on gettin fish on ur 1st day.im on day 6 no fish yet.using chatterbait , jigs, iipless, frog even

nice 3-14 and here in vancouver washington it is 10:00 hrs and it has been snowing all morning.. and we just do not get snow.. I hear a squadron of geese over flying your position there.. Well thanks for taking me along.. it is what I needed as well.. soon I will join you on the water.. you in ND me in Wash... But I think our states are connected by an underground fish tunnel... that is why you catch all the bass and I get the little crappie... ;-) carry on be safe (don't get sick) and we will see you and the bass later in the month..

Ur videos are awesome man

Good video, I enjoyed it.
