Good Morning All
Out deer hunting the Wisconsin opener, yet here I am watching Matt catch fish!
Yep, no deer, so time to have some fun
Hey Badger! Husker here. Looking forward to seeing you at Camp Randall tonight. I will be like you, allegedly having fun with one thing but secretly watching Matt’s vids. Except mine is a wedding. :( My prediction for the game is my team will lay egg after egg, stink up your stadium then go home with yet another loss. It’s not a game unless our QB’s give the opponent five or more turnovers. Our D is awesome, but not our offense. I hope you enjoy your bowl berth. Good luck with deer season!
Nothing like a fall fishing day full of aggressive fish. Gotta love it.
My favorite lure for pike! Nice thing about the spinnerbait is the way fish just crush it without hesitation. Love that explosive action.
Mine too.I love spinner baits
there is something so satisfying about spinner bait fishing...takes me back to my childhood.
Love spinner baits! Usually my go to. Caught a 42” Muskie on a white spinner bait this summer
Your pike and musky videos are my favorite. I don't know how you remain so calm when you're reeling in a monster! 😂
I love your channel, I'm an Englisman who visited my son in Portland Maine and he took me to a pond , caught 2 small mouth bass, first time I've ever fished. It was beautiful, even though two ladies watered their horses I was the only one who caught! You are always my go to , thank you for providing the most relaxing and informative information on fishing . Love Portland and love your stuff. Thank you
Thanks for taking us along. That water was so calm.
Beautiful day for some pike fishing. How much you enjoy the fishing is half the fun of watching Matt. Love me some Terminator spinnerbaits for bass and pike.
Fall pike hunting!!!! There is nothing, I mean nothing better
Road noise or not still the best damn fishing channel on yt! 😊
I've been sitting here waiting for this
Thanks for the videos! Nothing like having a coffee and watching them on a Saturday morning!
I don’t throw spinner baits without a trailer hook! Super effective
Also I like the idea of heavy floro leader for the reason you said 👍🏻
those first comments are purely North Dakotan. Added later... every time i drive past that spot i look for you out there.
Nice fish Andy you always catch them. I never miss your videos.
My coffee and a new NDYakAngler video, the best way to start a Saturday!!! 💪
Aways look forward to your videos. I feel like a kid waiting for the cartoons to come on. 😂
Thank you, Matt, that was some pretty exciting pike fishing! It's always a pleasure to join you on your fishing treks! Take care and be safe! Matt, I wish you and your family a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
Hey I want to thank you; last weekend's episode you were catching smallies on that little white swimbait, so last weekend I had a few minutes to kill at the river. I remembered that white was working for you and so I tied on a 3" white and silver flake tube on a worm hook, and on the very first cast, I got swiped, could see the tube go sideways in the clear water, so I gave it one more twitch and ended up hooking into a solid 15" smallie, which for around here, is not bad at all. So thanks for the advice man!
All we have like that in SC are some little pickerel in the cold water of the Saluda River coming out of Lake Murray dam. A big one is maybe 4lbs. One day I’ll get up north for some good pike and smallmouth bass fishing!
The areas you typically fish remind me of fishing as a kid growing up on the Canadian Prairies…my home is on the North Shore of Lake Superior now, I wonder if you’d consider fishing the big water someday or do a trip on some of the border waters like Quitico? Love your vids, Cheers from Red Rock, Ontario. 🇨🇦
I like the MacNugget theory.
I hardly ever get your notifications anymore but I always try and watch when I get a chance! Went on st Clair a couple of weeks ago and let's just say mother nature and musky don't always agree! 😅
Matt, late season fishing is tough. I'm impressed you always find a way to get hookups every time out.
In WI this time of year, alot of the fish are migrating deep, so the rocks and edges don't seem to hold much fish after October.
I always struggle with pike fishing but when Matt uploads vids it motivates me more and more to learn and keep trying.
Wish we had them where I live. I don’t have many places with smallies either.
It’s been tough going here this year. They removed a bunch of them from the river, the shallow sloughs I think were hit by winterkill the last couple years and a couple spots got over fished for a few seasons.
@ndyakangler I live in Indiana and have to drive 2.5 hours north to even touch the nearest water with them. I've been a handful of times and have caught 2 pike lol my fiancé just traveled to North Dakota and I'm jealous af I wasn't able to go. The scenery looks amazing up there from all your vids!
The Bob Ross of fishing
Thanks for once again, taking us/me along! I appreciate your sharing and I am going to slip in one last (according to weather predictions) trip out with spinners to wrassle a toothy, tomorrow afternoon. I haven't tried for them in a long while but watching your vid I realized I did have some of those spinners somewhere so I am going to throw them for a shot at a local NP.
Awesome stuff as always, my thanks!
With the amount of pikes I've seen you catch here, there's a decent chance you've met some of these before! :D
I did screenshot all those fish to compare them and make sure I wasn’t catching the same one over and over. I couldn’t match any of them up so I’m pretty confident I caught five different fish on this trip at least!
Great fishing Matt. Keep it up. Hopefully each trip yields 2-3 videos worth of content for you!
Thanks, learned about slowing the retrieval of spinning baits. I have been moving them much more aggressively.
Nice fish! As always, appreciate your skill, you have the best fishing on the www..Hands down!
10:22-10:30 is the same way I feel about their smaller cousin, the chain pickerel. I love fishing for chain pickerel during the fall, winter, and spring here in CT. The way they come darting out of structure and vegetation before slamming a jerkbait at the smaller waters I fish from shore get me pumped. They'll follow the lure all the way up to shore. Sometimes a more erratic retrieve will get those "slime darts" to easily hit.
There's one special spot at a pond I fish that has a tradition for pickerel to be stalking schools of small bluegills that hang around a submerged limb once the water has gotten warmer in early April. I'll sometimes see the bluegills all of a sudden scatter before coming back to the limb. That's when I know there's bound to be pickerel stalking them before darting in for the kill.
As a Connecticut resident myself, I am the same way. Jerkbaits are my specialty with pickerel in colder water, and once it gets warmer, fluke style swimbaits and topwater lures work best. But I caught my PB at 24" and 2.63lbs this year on a jig. Thought it was a 5lb bass when I hooked it.
The sound is so much better. Thank you.
Yeah I could tell just looking at my audio files! Last time the road noise was about the same level as my voice, this time it was only about 1/3 as loud.
been hammering massive crappie lately, glad to see fishing well for you too!
Great video Matt. Nice to see the pedal kayak again.
Glad ya had a good day Matt-but one of these days we're all going to see the scenario I think of each time I watch a new video. Out of the blue you're going to hook into something so big, that it even surprises you-not just a PB, but a PB that you don't think you'll ever top. At some point I hope you're blessed with that kind of day. God bless.
I bought the same net and netted a 37 inch pike the other week. Thanks NDyakangler
Thanks for telling a little about depth an bottom conditions!
Pike! The wolves of the lake.
Best way to start a Saturday is with some NDYakangler
It's the vibration. Fish have a lateral line they sense the uptick in vibration and it draws them in. From little bait fish all up through the food chain
Another fantastic video!
I ❤ pike fishing
You love the pike when you target them, but don't they dare interfere with your smallie fishing! 😂
The difference is I’ll have a leader tied on while fishing pike and not end up losing $20 of lures to bite offs. If I try to use a leader smallie fishing I generally don’t catch many of the bigger, smarter fish that a leader will often scare off. What frustrates me smallie fishing is I’ll feel that nice thump expecting a big smallie, but then I’m let down by a slack line with my jig gone and it’s instant disappointment lol.
@@ndyakangler yep, that makes sense!
That looked like a fun day! In the areas I fish, those would all be considered good fish!
Always a treat to go along with you! Loved the McNuggets tip. I may have to sacrifice one to verify whether or not the local pike population shares an affinity .. I know the local carp absolutely love junk food (apologies to Ronald).
Yay pike fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome fishing!😎
Always on timeee
I'll be waiting for the next video..."Relaxing day catching pike with McNuggets". Thanks for another great trip.
Spinnerbait is my go to lure up here in NY
Another awesome video well done few really nice one
Looks like summer to me, was out in my Feelfree in snow and freezing yesterday, got a pike.
Love the videos man! I live in Texas so we don’t get smallmouth and pike but I’m taking a trip up north today and I will try smallie, walleye, and trout fishing. Your videos are entertaining and helpful!
Just moved to Houston from the Midwest about a year ago. I was just getting the hang of the rivers and the smallie hangouts. Boy do I miss it. Haven't really found any bass spots yet. I'm looking to try the Neches on my next adventure.
Fall fishing is at its peak in my North Woods also. I have been catching aggressive and hungry Cutthroat trout in the 19 inch to 22 inch range. I have been catching them on white tube worms and green/tan Bitsy Bugs with a trailer. More snow in the mountains expected overnight and ice is only a few weeks away.
that thing moves along pretty good with those petals
Theres a theory that pike actually like the road noise for some reason, they are very sensitive to noise and this kind of behaviour has been observed elsewhere, although they will also happily eat roadkill so it could be completely unrelated. Hard to believe its a total coincidence though
Love it.
“Split pee soup looking water” lmao u ain’t lyin
Definitely from up north…”35° out here…feels about 50°” lol.
Great fishing action 👍👍🦈🦈
Now I want to see you catch a pike on a McNugget! LOL
Thank you !!!
Another great video. weathers nice today about to head out to the Mississippi river right now.
Very jealous of you right now 😢. Thanks for sharing this with us.
How are there not more subs for this legend!
You've gotten me back into fishing! I even got a kayak so I don't have to fish from shore anymore! Your videos are amazing! I can even rewatch them and it feels like new again! Keep doin what you're doing! Is it ever too cold to fish? I've got some rivers near by but it's getting cold here in MN and I still wanna fish but don't know where to look during the cold days
Spinners are my go to lures. I don't have enough patience to just sit with a line in the water lol
Oooo oooo, catfishing with McNuggets!!! You can do it!
Another great saturday
I throw Mc nuggets out the window whenever I order them. For they are inedible.
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORRRNNNINNNGGGG OHHH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAYYYYY
Good job! The spinner bait works best for me. Last time two weeks ago I caught 8 pikes.
Nice video I like your fishing technique
Spinnerbaits are my go-to out here in Western Canada. I’m originally from Québec and I used to fish spinners there for bass. Moved out west 30 years ago and just tried spinners here for pike (there’s no bass in Alberta); best kept secret ! I do see that your retrieve is slower than I’m used to but I think it’s a great approach because they’re slightly slower as the temp drops. I’ll try that next year ! Thx !
I use trailer hooks on my spinner and Buzz baits. It really increases my hookup ratio.
Man you just made my Saturday morning
You have a hobie, right on, I love my Compass, and I have an outback also! I love the hands free fishing when using the foot pedals! They are very good, but I bet it was hard to fish next to the freeway with all the noise!
Great pike fishing love the pike spinning or dead bait but its hard to get one in a day here are n ireland but u could get 3 or 4 on a good day can be hard work but that's pike fishing for u👍🎣
Great video as usual. You would definitely benefit from some NRS Boundary knee-high neoprene boots. I have a pair for my yak, love them!
Big fan of your videos. I would love to hear what month in you are fishing in these clips to know what to throw out near my house at different points in the season 😊
Love your videos keep it up
Finally a hobie video....lol...I figured you sold it...
That road is noisy😂 but awsome video lovely pike looked a nice day too🐊🎣
Highly recommend a trailer hook on a spinnerbait. It’s taken me from about 50% hookup ratio like you said to near 100%. You can also increase the profile of the bait by putting your trailer worm or swimbait on the trailer hook instead of the main hook.
Fantastic video I do the same type of fishing you do here in the UK 😊
Caught many a Pike on white spinnerbaits up here in Northern Michigan and as I Frog fish a lot for Bass I also hook them on occasion with those rubber frogs which is a good way to destroy a $10 plus Ish Monroe Frog which is my favorite. I see you grab those nasty toothed critters under the gills which is something I hate to do after seeing my best friend lose some meat on 3 fingers when a big 38 incher flipped out of his grip and locked those teeth on him. The ER Doctor sewed him up but he sure has some nice looking scars to show his Buddies. Great video.
I tried the spinnerbait again for pike on the lake I usually fish smallies on. I caught several pike but I was surprised not a single bass on the spinnerbait.
It’s been a nice time watching this video. Beautiful pike with those distinct markings on their flanks. Also interesting the knack of using a length of stiff fluorocarbon to prevent the spinnerbait from entangling with your line on the cast.
The main purpose of that fluoro was for bite off protection against the pike but it worked great to keep my spinner bait tangle free too! I can’t use a steel leader with those, most of them don’t have an actual loop to tie through just a bend in the wire so a snap on leader isn’t going to stay put.
You are right. It´s been some years since I last used a spinnerbait with both types: with an actual loop and with only a bend in the wire. I remember there used to be issues casting the type without the loop not precisely because it entangled the line, but because the costume of using a snap that would work out of the bend of the wire every three or four casts, which is so annoying!. It was a rookie mistake on my part. they need to be tied directly on your line, and if you´re fishing for pike then you need a stiff length of fluorocarbon resistant to their teeth. On my leaders, I normally use 80 lbs fluorocarbon (brand Reaction Tackle) using a pair of pullers (and power from my arms!) to fix the knots. Perhaps I´ll purchase some 50 lbs fluorocarbon because I am not quite sure I would be able to tie a proper knot with my 80 lbs. Thank you very much Matt!!!
@@ndyakanglerI do the same thing. Seaguar 40-50# Blue Label does me well with Spinnerbaits usually, the way they hook up, it's rarely woofed and line not as likely to get chafed or scraped by them due to the lure shape etc. Best answer I've found anyways. Great video as always
"tossing McNuggets along the interstate..." ROFL pike bait from the urbanites
I might have to drop some McNuggets on a tipup this winter!
Great to wake up and go with you on another fishing adventure! Love to see you fishing 🎣 for pike and musky! Those were really healthy looking 👀 pike,what do think the average weight was?
Nice catching bro 😊
It’s crazy this spring I took a spinnerbait out with pike hopes and ended up slayin prespawn smallies never thought they’d be on them
Great video I always use a trailer hook on my spinners for pike and hook up rate goes way up with so many on the trailer only. Can still use the plastic too just add the hook after. 3/0 trailer hook seems best size
I was looking for some hooks to use for that at one of our local stores but didn’t see any that looked like they’d fit over the hook on the lure. I’ll have to search around online for some.
i like how the viewer counter is changing while i watch the video
Turning the mic around was a good call. Audio was good, road noise minimal and we could still hear you fine. Excellent vid bud
I just don’t like how much more it picks up my breathing having the mic tucked under my hat bill lol, but it picked up maybe a quarter of the road noise it did last time when I adjusted the files to the level of my voice.
same thing I said on your jackhammer video. try a mod-fast rod for spinners and chatterbait. it gives just a little more time for the rod to load up before you set.
“Try” for some pike… that made me chuckle. Those dudes are aggressive! Didn’t you get some on a duck lure a while ago?
Cool bro😊 thanks for pike fishing 😁 maybe next time try to use bigger bait for get the biggest trophy 😁
