Every time I watch this guy's channel I picture Bob Ross spending the afterlife fishing in one of his paintings...relaxing, beautiful scenery, top notch all the way around, refreshingly different, in the best kind of way! This helped me get through a pretty ruff day..thanks.. Keep em comin & I'll keep watchin.. my hats off to you sir!..tight lines..👍
Within seconds I had the intuition which lake you were on. Then your description and some further views confirmed it for me. I used to fish there over 30 years ago and I often heard that there were LMB in the bays. I think we only caught one once. What a beautiful lake. Thanks for the memories.
Imo it's the most beautiful lake in MN! It's been about the same amount of time since I've been on it also. We caught very nice LM but I don't remember catching many smallies. If I ever win the lottery..... I'm building on it 😂
It sure is a pretty lake, Minnesota has some amazing lakes. Not sure where this is.
Care to share which lake (of the many in MN) this may be? I love this channel and bass fishing in general, but it would be nice every now and then if we knew where he was at. It is gorgeous.
It was a fun lake! I’ll have to go back in September when the topwater bite is really happening.
Sadly that’s a sure fire way to get a lake overfished. I’ve seen it happen locally. Went from good to horrible in about a month. Still recovering ten years later with fish a pound less on average.
Best fishing channel on UA-cam... HANDS DOWN. IM dealing with some health issues and in and out of the hospital.t's nice to sit back, relax, watch some awesome fishing, and it keeps my mind off of things for 20 minutes at a time. THANK YOU
Wow this lake is beautiful. Crystal clear water and awesome bass
St Croix needs to sponsor you as well. I bought their rods because you use them and they are a bang for the buck. Just well crafted and all business.
Great content as always! I love how there is no sponsorships, ads, nonsense, etc. it’s what makes your videos so special.
I don't think I would enjoy the winters up there, but the fishing up your way is some of the best. Lots of lakes and rivers and they seem to all be full of fish. THAT I'm envious of.
Agreed. I'm a Florida man. I equate his winters to climbing near the top of Mount Everest.
Right man, all the lakes/ponds by me are so high pressured its so hard to catch big boys. Id love to go to ND and fish
Yup winters suck here. Can be brutal. But we're blessed with so many waterways full of fish!!
Savage Gear needs to sponsor this man. Every time he posts a 3D Snake lure video I end up buying another one 😆
I want one but they are always out of stock on bass pro, at least in the colors I want lol
I’ve been watching your channel for a long time, every time I see one of your videos I put down everything. Keep doing what you do!
Easily the best fishing channel out there.
Hopefully you're not a surgeon!
Amen
Check out fisherMN. Another great fishing channel with quality content. Prob has like 300 vids. Give him a sub if you like it.
@@Christoph-sd3ziunderrated joke…..
Loading up the trailer this morning to head out fishing. Looks like a decent day for some middle MN lakes.
What a great way to start my Sunday morning. Another awesome video!
Beautiful lake. First video where I actually saw another boat on the water!
Always blown away at the beauty of these fisheries you have access to. Sheesh.
Nice lake! Enjoyed hearing the Loons in the background. 👍
The first catch brought the whole school with him! I love it when that happens!
Usually it’s time to grab the wacky worm and pick off the rest of the school but once they saw me in that clear water they knew what I was trying to do.
@@ndyakangler that same thing happens to me on Lake St Clair frequently too
That lure has some great action! No wonder the bass can't leave it alone. Thanks for the video! I always enjoy watching!
Matt, I would love nothing more than to see you do a trout video! Fingers crossed!
Same!! I'd love to see that
The hits came as you paralleled the shore with long casts-when you went deep and threw at the shore the hits stopped. Later on, you started doing the same thing-that's when the hits began again. The most active fish were shallow, chasing/looking for baitfish, and paying less attention to you [jmo]. Great video. God bless.
[edit]: What a beautiful lake-I hope you go back again e.g., fall monster bass and/or ice fishing walleyes/trout.
That's just what I thought: the bite would be better in shallow water which turned out to be right.
I've been watching your videos for some time now and absolutely love the content. You have such a mellow vibe, kinda the "Bob Ross" of fishing.
My thoughts exactly!
The Bob Ross comparison has gotten old.
I love seein all these nice smallies! Another great vid of catchin em! Minnesota sure is a beautiful state with some amazing fisheries!
Just came back from a bag, and my PB from my kayak. Thanks Matt for making this seem easy!
I just went out with no expectation and some relaxation, dropped a worm to a couple small males and she was hungry! Wow so fun!!!!
Sweet bass brother! Even caught some bonus largies. Really like seeing the top water catches gets me every time. Thanks as well for posting, the view at the places you fish is awesome! 👍🎣🌳🌊
Recent subscriber to the channel, and newly interested in yak fishing. Your videos are excellent. As many have said, keep doing what you are doing. These are enjoyable / calm / natural vids that appeal to what many got into fishing in the first place for.
Matt is one of the reasons I started fishing again.
Hey I don’t know if anyone has ever said this but you’re like the Bob Ross of fishing videos.
After eons of Eagles and Ospreys eating fish in clear water with mid day sunshine lighting them up, the fish have instinctually learned to stay deep. They hit top water in the early morning and late evening when they are not as vulnerable. The whacky worm or drop shot is the way to go in the bright middle of the day. Matt is always teaching me something I might have known, but it isn't in the front of my mind when I hit the water. Thanks again to the master fisherman.
Best Fisherman I've seen on UA-cam. I always enjoy watching your videos Thanks
I learn a lot every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you and keep up the great work
That lake looks like a dream location
I’m going to have to go back there in September when the topwater bite is really on!
@@ndyakangler whats the lake name if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks for taking me along! The large mouth were a surprise bonus! All of the bass were healthy looking 👀. Another great day of fishing. You are the best!
I loved hearing the loons - brings back wonderful memories.
Go out on my own great fishing session, and come home to a new NDYak video. Life is good 😊
I caught my first smallie this weekend. I see why you love catching them so much!
I think it might be 3 summers since I asked you about trout fishing, and you said that you would consider it the following summer. I still live in hope that some fine day you will give it a go.
It's not that hard a fish to catch unless you go for artificial flies. My best day as a 14 year old was 36 trout and 4 Chub on wholemeal bread, using a size 6, 7 or 8 hook.
Love the action of that snake lure! It's no wonder why the bass just hammered that thing.
We have water ways and lakes in the south but nothing like this. I’m amazed at the water clarity and the quality of northern fisheries.
Beautiful lake, those fish look fat and happy. Sunday morning coffee and a new vid drop,SWEET! Rock on!
I've got the black 8" snake. It is an insane lure. I like that it has two line ties. One allows the snake to dive a bit.
Always a pleasure , you are my inspiration on my river for topwater. I love it . I hooked six yesterday from one spot about twenty yards long , then nothing all day. Rebel popn minnow
That rod is a damn workhorse
hail to the king of fishing on youtube :)
BABE!! WAKE UP!! YAKANGLER DROPPED A NEW VIDEO
Best video yet!! ❤ Picture perfect scenery, almost crystal clear water, and FISHES!!! Thanks for doing what you do 😊
Finally, a couple of fish classified as "Tanks." Very few of them this year. Got to tease you a little as your videos are so much fun and make me home sick for Minnesota.
What a beautiful lake! And those marvellous fights in that clear water, too! Awesome…I was puzzled when at first you didn’t mention largemouth among the species in that water. It seemed somewhat odd to me…but there they were!
Also It would have been great to see some beautiful walleye or trout (American lake trout of the char family?) caught in that gorgeous scenery. Over here in Europe zander ( very similar to walleye) also prefer low light conditions. Also zander is a delicious fish.
Encouraged by your videos I have purchased all the famous lures that you use, especially those by Savage Gear and this snake will be no exception. I can’t wait to get one! Its action is wonderful.
If you always have a few sizes of silver Mepps spinners, marabou jigs and some trout magnets with you, you are always prepared for a bit of trout fishing 😉
That lake looks sick
Doesn't matter if the fish are biting, if the loons are calling. That's a good day, and a fish bite is a great day.
Great way to start the morning!
Loved seeing the super clear water & hear the loons in the background while you caught some fish...
Good times Up North!
What a beautiful place to fish. Love that snake lure. That first small mouth hit it hard. Damn. That second largemouth wow.
What are those birds I hear on the lake......sounds so peaceful. The snake made the diff in this one no doubt. I didnt even know snakes were on the menu in MN lol.............nice job👍
There’s some loons at some points during the video
What a beautiful lake
what lake is this? water is nice and clear
That’s a fun lure to fish. Love that topwater action!
Hey, my sons and I love your channel. We have 2 questions for you.... 1) Have you ever tried out any kind of inflatable kayak? If so, your thoughts? 2) On average how far away are most of the lakes and rivers you film at?
Any day where the topwater bite exceeds subsurface is a GOOD day!
What a lovely, calm video! Thank you!
You should talk like Cobra Commander when you fish with that lure.
I just made a snake lure recently and it is really cool to see that bass actually eat them. Thanks for the great vid Matt!
Another quality video. Thank you!
That blue clear waters nuts
Loved hearing the Loons followed by Crows. Awesome Video as always good Sir!
I was showing my mom one of these videos with a snake lure, and she wondered why a snake lure here in Minnesota. Not a few days later, I'm out kayaking on the lake, and what do I spy but a garter snake swimming across a bay. Little guy even got jumped by a rock bass near shore and had to fight free
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us. First time I saw a motorized boat on your channel.
Another awesome video well done
Been using the rattlesnake lure color out here in South California..the bass definitely know what a snake is.
It's really cool seeing you fish In my area makes me want to try all of those lakes out.
What area are you in? I’m in Duluth
So fun to watch, well done. Top water is always a blast and wow … a snake!
Those are some healthy looking fish.
Thanks, Matt!
Hands down my favorite fishing channel.keep it up brother
Hey buddy, new to fishing from this summer. I've discovered you a few weeks back. I like how calm voice is. You go into details. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks brother, keep e'm coming!
Love how well MN bass just crush large baits. They rarely see em so its a riot fishing big stuff.
In Rivers, trout fishing is identical to smallie fishing... perhaps with a little downsizing. Their mouths are tender! If you lip 'em, you might tear the membranes of their lower jaws... so if you're going to release them use a net!
I love the snake lure videos
Great video mat as always
Hello! I’ve been watching this channel before 100k and absolutely love it. I’ve always wondered what kayak you use. It seems amazing for lots of different fishing.
Thanks! I have an older model Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120.
Man, I wish lakes in my area were that clear! Probably the only one that is so clear only hold big 'ol carps and the only lake that has bass is quite restricted. Great video as always!
Thanks for the validation on the fish knowing what you're up to lol. I tell some of my non fishing buddies that and they look at me crooked like "it's just a dumb fish"....yea...they want you to THINK that! lol Good vid, I'll take them Largies all day too! Tight lines bud!
I live out west in the mountain states of the pacific north west. We have great fishing out here for most species of fish. Trout, steelhead and salmon are some of the most coveted species to fish for. Get yourself a good selection of rooster tails, mepps and panther martin spinners and you will be in a good position to catch trout. I shoot for small and large mouth bass, but during season I am full on steelhead and salmon all the way! They are the best fish in the world for eating next to sturgeon. Of course walleye are great to. Native trout are fantastic with the dark pink meat, but I don't fancy stocked trout much. Trout fishing is a lot of fun and they will give you a good fight especially on lighter gear. They like a lot of the same locations small inhabit, but not at the same time ha ha. Typically they are found in open clear water. There are many species of trout and you fish them each a little differently. That looks like lake trout country, so open water is your best bet.
Jointed Rapala's have the same look. 👍👍
NOW I can start my Sunday :)
Hey Matt, I live in Colorado and mainly target bass but have done really well with trout trolling with a spoon from my kayak.
New video!! About time! Now go make another one 😅
nagyon super az a kígyó csalí
What an awesome lake! Been a while since I've seen a piece of water like that, or heard a Loon. Thanx for sharing!!
Thanks for all the videos your paddling is like an armrest 🤗
Gorgeous lake
Let’s go! Love it when i you out use the snake!
Man, I just had the sh¡ttiest morning... so happy to see this... Thank You!
You fish in some beautiful places - another great video.
After watching your video, I couldn't resist and went and bought that snake lure.
I didn't catch anything as of yet, with it, but the action certainly looks irressistible.
Great Lake great fish great time.
Super video sir. Caught one of my biggest on a snake lure💥🎣
thanks for your awesome content😁
gotta love the loon sounds
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I will have to try that snake lure out for sure.
That snake makes a lot more noise than you think. Listen to it when you play with it out of water. And sound travels further in water than air.
Yeah it does make some rattling noise. I was just thinking something like the Whopper Plopper might be a little much with the clear water and rocky bottom.
I watch your videos from New Zealand - we don’t have any bass sadly but we do have some trout across both islands. I didn’t previously know much about bass, although through watching your videos I have learned a lot. I do though know something about trout and catch a few here. We both need to do an exchange where you come over to New Zealand and I could teach you about our trout and I come out to your neck of the woods to chase bass. Our lakes here in the South Island are not a million miles away from the scenic wonders in your videos. Many of the spots I fish across the South Island would be right at home for you though as I use a small kayak to pursue large trout. Tight lines and keep making those videos - it is winter here in New Zealand so good to see your hot days.
Love what you produce, keep the content coming!
