@@paullevine1813Agree. Pretty much the same(as in not that great) here in Illinois. Matt is highly skilled for sure, but being able to have that kind of access to the fisheries he shares with us here is a huge plus.
He's in a less populated area than most of us. There's at least two dudes on every decent spot in all my local waters. Not to say he's not skilled but pressure really matters
This trip put the love of fishing back into me. 👍 Enjoyed both days and can’t thank you enough! We both caught a ton and learned once again…nothing beats a smallmouth bite!!!
Somehow I feel every fish in my hands. Your discipline in keeping hour head/GoPro focused on the lure is amazing. I wish I had saved some of your 2023 videos for this winter. I guess I will just have to watch them all again!
TWO FOR ONE video today! Thanks for the double feature Matt! I know as a content producer, it must be hard knowing you could have edited that into two videos so I appreciate you leaving it long. Grats on the day's catch! Nothing like bringing a guest and having the fish actually show up...lol.
The Super Spook Jr. getting it done! Big football after big football with a fish tail high five bonus, days like that are what keep you coming back! Great video. Tight lines!🎣
I think ole Terry should have taken Matts cue & switched up the Whopper Plopper for a jig or one of Matts Spooks . Looked as if he caught very little while matt was tearing em up !!!
I’ve been a large mouth fisherman my whole life I recently went on a river small mouth trip and I think I like small mouth fishing even more. The fight on those river smallies is crazy
It seems the "big fish of the day" both this time and last, was the first fish. I'd be hyper focused during my first few casts from now on. 😄 Thanks for taking us along again while the season winds down.
I searched up fishing videos to watch and I came across your channel. I instantly subscribed and your videos are so calm. You actually inspired me to buy a kayak and go fishing on it. 😊
Another Saturday morning with some amazing smallie footage! I wait for your weekly uploads and I’m especially stoked that it’s a half hour video today! I mainly only throw big Swimbaits and your channel is one of very few I watch religiously! Only conventional guy I follow closely! Great job brother!
I have to say: "I totally understand why you need to have a Power Pole on that kayak!" The rivers you fish in MN/ND are nothing but current the entire time (at least on your footage) & I can see how catching a good one from a distance could take you for a ride! That looks like so much fun! Keep up the great videos as I truly enjoy watching them. So glad we're now in minnow fishing season for smallmouth here in VA!!!! Oh, and I'm super impressed how patient you are on a surface bite! It's so hard not to pull right away on a surface strike & you always have the patience to wait that brief moment before pulling. Kudos on the fantastic casts as well!!!
There you go again, challenging my ability to follow the Tenth Commandment! LOL Seriously, I really enjoy fishing vicariously for those "smallies" with you!
This river seems to be full of big smallmouth. Looks like bass fisherman's heaven. I would be willing to make a trip to enjoy fishing like this. great video.
Great video as always! I'm always envious of how clear the water you get on is, all the waterways in my area are either tidal or full of field run off so its a real treat to see all the river weeds moving
i watched it all - I'm just going to say my favorite part is @17:03 to @17:04 - That Smallie knocked it out of the water on first try, sent it up a foot in the air and then hit it again when it hit back on the surface, Ha!!!!! That was cool.
re-watching this one and it's amazing how your fishing partner isn't tearing his hair out in frustration! I'm not too proud to copy my fishing buddy if he's wiping the floor with me🤣
He ended up catching a ton of fish too! It’s tough for me to add my friends catches to the video sometimes unless they’re right next to me. If I have to shout across the river at them my audio recordings aren’t useable.
I have yet to watch a UA-camr that consistently catches the quality of fish you do per video. It’s quite remarkable
Can't agree more. The shear number of quality fish at times is nothing short of staggering.
Helps to be near rivers that hold great numbers of fine species of fish & he knows where they all are . Wish we had it this good in MD but we don't.

Gotta check my page out I wish I could fish with this man
The accuracy of those cast’s are mind blowing
Smallmouth never disappoint. The bluejay of the river.
One of the most relaxing fishing vids I have seen this year. I showed my 94 y.o. mother what smallmouth fishing river fishing was about.
This dude is such an accurate caster.. pays off with the numbers of fish he usually catches
+100k casts Will do that
Got that fish finder 😏
This trip put the love of fishing back into me. 👍
Enjoyed both days and can’t thank you enough! We both caught a ton and learned once again…nothing beats a smallmouth bite!!!
The fact that you get so many reaction strikes really shows how well you read the water - great work!
Truly a Fisherman's Paradise!😎🎣

Man, that pike blow up was fantastic!!!! What a day of fishing. I'm jealous!!!!!
You all live in such a beautiful fishing environment. Love your videos.

Gotta love that topwater bite!! One of my favorite ways to catch bass other than throwing a jig.
Man ever since I started watching you I knew I found something special you are the best river small mouth fisherman I know
This guy would win every river kayak fishing tournament, just quality fish every video.
That was one of the sweetest videos with massive fish catching content....I wish we had that in South Carolina.
The broad river is pretty good for smallmouth fishing like this
Awesome video. We should all be so fortunate to have a river like that!!
The bob Ross of UA-cam fishing so relaxing to watch you content bro! Best fisherman on UA-cam hands down!!
You two got some nice fish! Thanks for taking me along.
Thanks Once again for allowing me to live vicariously thru you!
Thought terry was a spirit monster lurking behind you before you introduced him. That woke me right up 😂
😂😂 it's bigfoot
BIGFOOT….. oh wait.
I think ole Terry should have taken Matts cue & switched up the Whopper Plopper for a jig or one of Matts Spooks . Looked as if he caught very little while matt was tearing em up !!!
Never been called that, but I like it and also very funny!! 😂
Bigfoot is in the building (or river). Love the comments all 👍
@@paullevine1813 yeah a follow up bait would've done good from him
A great memory for you and Terry both, lot's of beautiful smallmouth crushing top water lures! Looking forward to your next video!
What a great way to start my day. So many really nice smallies. What a great day. Thank you
Going to miss those river smallie videos this winter
Good to see the old spook back in the starting lineup, Matt!
Absolute blast watching you have so much fun!!
Great fishing you two! God bless and keep'em tight!!🐟🎣💯
The fish whisper talking to his beloved smillies.
Pike strike worth 10 smillies hits..👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟🦈
Matt and Terry y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
I’ve been a large mouth fisherman my whole life I recently went on a river small mouth trip and I think I like small mouth fishing even more. The fight on those river smallies is crazy
Another epic day on the River.....you are blessed🐟

Do it. Kayak fishing is amazing
@@corypope7400yes sir
I love my spook, I got one back in the 90's as a kid and felt like the coolest guy on the lake walkin' the dog in Hayward Wisconsin.
“What an absolute football” had me crying😂😂
It’s hard to beat top water strikes like those. Great video man.
Absolutely no holds barred day of fishing. The magical days especially in fall keep the fire lit. Thanks for taking us along Matt
Those were some frisky fish. Love it when they splash you after you release them.
Top drawer fishing/ therapy session as usual 😊
Howdy everyone! Love the bassin’ videos!! 🎣💙

Amazing fishing there! Thanks for starting my rainy Saturday right.
A blast💥of a smallie fishing trip. ❤
Every video is my dream float trip, wow!
25:55 is my favorite, what a shape! Sick pike too! Awesome footage as always
super spooks are my all time faves. Caught some of my nicest fish on them
some serious brown grouch action right there! reminds me of a good day on the susquehanna
Always high quality fish. Great job
Love these vids!😊
Wow, so much fun, such a great time out there on the water. Those Smallies were smashing your baits, Thanks for sharing!!
Fantastic fishing. And, a beautiful place to fish.
I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming. I grew up in northern Minnesota, and wish I would of gotten into kayak fishing!!!!!
LOVE your videos!!@ when my husband and I can't go fishing (building a cabin/home), we get our fishing "fix" watching you fish!! Fantastic! ❤
This river seems to be full of big smallmouth. Looks like bass fisherman's heaven. I would be willing to make a trip to enjoy fishing like this. great video.
If I had the ecosystem and the rivers that you fish.. I would dream of that.
OH MY GOD! Those are the days we pray for.🎉. Great vid and now I'm going fishin. Thanks
Those smallies love that JR one knocker!!!!
11:52 that was like a strange casting noise from your reel lol. I laughed.
Can’t wait to watch after work, glad to see you’re having a good run again!
Wow! Great catches and beautiful river!
The luckiest fisher I've ever seen 😊 the nature loves you 😁
Luck? Experience and skill and knowing water is not luck. His casting is beyond A+.
@@MnNative sometimes your skill doesn't matter
Went out today and caught several nice bass and some striped bass. Glad you had a lot of luck too!
I'm amazed at the quality of smallmouth bass you constantly catch!!
So much better than your competition. Thanks all the best 👍
what is encouraging is the health of those fish. here in Texas the heat is killing them off.
Amazing day of fishing - great video!
Good to see ya this Saturday Morning uploads continue.
Love your videos mate! Regards from Australia!!
Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Ummm... that was sick! Thanks for the video
Great video as always! I'm always envious of how clear the water you get on is, all the waterways in my area are either tidal or full of field run off so its a real treat to see all the river weeds moving
Sweet Smallmouth action! Love em on top water!
That 17” was an absolute stud, was surprised it wasn’t bigger.
Really entertaining video man, well done
Bunch of tanks!!! Eatin good!! 👍
Wow that 30 min video went by fast, what a fun video. And I wasn't even the one catching them!
Great job pulling that smalley out of that log pile with 2 hands when it looked like 3 was required for sure. 🙂
You had a great day. Love your videos from alberta
Who doesn’t love giant Smallmouth Bass !! Awesome catches Matt
Best videos, Matt‼️❣️incredible catches‼️❣️🙏🏼many blessings to you and yours❣️🙏🏼
Living in South Carolina small mouth have always been on my bucket list . watching you catch those fueled my desire big time .
Watching these just gets me itching to go out and wet a line. Also at 11:50 , 3 strikes in a row on the same spot is crazy. Awesome catch.
i just had to pull my boat out for the season and i'm watching this video as therapy
Wow what a day of fishing! I wish I was out there with you that’s for sure!! I don’t really have any areas like that around me that I know of
i watched it all - I'm just going to say my favorite part is @17:03 to @17:04 - That Smallie knocked it out of the water on first try, sent it up a foot in the air and then hit it again when it hit back on the surface, Ha!!!!! That was cool.
17:02. Dude you need a slow mo of that lure poppin off the water. That was sick.
That's one of your best videos ever dude.... 🇺🇲👍😎👍🇺🇲
Another Fantastic video!
🎉 finally starts the weekend 😍
Awesome video thanks
What a session!!! Tanks
Bang bang;:all hits all the time
What a great river!! Tight lines!!!!!!
Good fishing for sure

Awesome video! We use big spooks (Doc) here in New England for Stripers when they run up the coast.
This is smallie zen.
Many thanks sensei
