You, TyPigPatrol and Richard Gene are my favorite Saturday morning shows. All three of you fish because you absolutely love it. No thrills. No major sponsors. No clickbait. Just three men who love the sport of fishing. Thanks for the videos, Matt. ✌🏻
Try The Ginger Fisherman as well 👍
typigpatrol kinda pisses me off with how much he long arms his fish in the thumbnails, it’s so unnecessary bc he catches hogs all the time anyway. imo that’s some of the worst clickbait
Me too
Yep they are great old school fisherman 🐟on

I've gott say, I've been watching your channel for several years. And you still get some of the sickest top water eats ever. Good stuff, man!
I love the… sense of humor… in your occasional choice of bait.
Scum Frog forever. Best frogs ever made. Half the fun is making your own skirts for em! Get some bright red and green and lean into the gnome theme!
Happy Saturday morning Boys may you all be blessed!
15:12 big fish to the right of your kayak and shadow of your head
Matt, you are looking to hit 500K subscribers soon. Thank you for taking us along on another great video.
Teasing the turtle....sounds like something totally inappropriate 😂
Only to the morally bankrupt.
You tease yer turtle on yer own time fella, this here is a family place
😂
I get you man. I've been making Myrtle and Cecil jokes for years.
This is the next best thing when I'm being rained out, kick back on the lazy boy, beer in hand and kids are in bed! Cheers!❤
Awesome catches today Matt and all 3 lures worked perfectly :)! Thanks for taking us along! See you next adventure!
These lures will now be "gnome" for how affective they are on finicky bass. Great video Matt as always.
Fun fact, the number one predator of garden gnomes are Bass, that’s why they swim so rarely
Look forward to your videos on Saturdays like I used to get excited for cartoons on Saturdays as a kid!
Love your Saturday morning videos.
The best start to a day:
*COFFEE*
1) Blue sky
2) "Well hello there, friends!!" - Chef Jean-Pierre
3) "Welcome Back!" - Kelly Galloup
4) "Howdy Everyone!" - NDYakAngler
The locations that you fish are so pristine and your videos are so entertaining thanks for taking us fishing with you!!
Cottonwood fluff is one of the things I DON'T miss about living in Minnesota
It seems like it’s everywhere here the last couple weeks!
Getting my kayak today! Can’t wait
Awesome! I hope you catch multiple double digits on it.
@@theoutdoorhistorianyes me too!
Nice have fun be safe out there, tight lines!
PFD!
I'm so jealous, God bless.
Scumfrogs are my favorite. The launch in bullfrog and sloppy toad patterns specifically. Great video as always.
Great video, Matt, it looks like the scum frogs really paid off, and who would have guessed that a Gnome with no legs, hey we could make a song out of that, you know like " A Horse with no name", would top the board for biggest fish! Anyway, we thank you so much for taking us along! Please be safe and take care!
I hope you’re safe from all that flooding happening in your region.
makes me feel as happy as a gnome to watch another one of your videos. thanks for sharing
That first roadkill frog bass smashed it! Great video!
The way you release them is just lovely. Most of my releases are awkward and mainly because I shore fish. Thanks for the awesome content!
Yeah it’s tough to get a good release and keep your feet dry at the same time shore fishing! Even when I have good rocks to stand on it’s difficult.
Great Saturday start...cup of coffee ☕️ from Door County up north, fishing obscure bait themes vicariously up north with Matt...yep another dandy. The travel sites should have him doing commercials. The gnome was king 🤴 even without a tail. Like putting custom ones on my frogs.
Cottonwoods blooming, the bass are biting.
I don’t know how much “fluff” I’ve picked off my line and top waters in my life, but it’s worth it!
I ordered the pliers and the frogs from your link…just to say thanks for the content.
Thanks for taking me with you, it was fun!
Bass season finally opened in Ontario last week and I got out! First time really using the choppo and wow did it work. Thx ND!!!
Its always great to see you out on the water brother. I cant think of a single one of these types of videos youve made where you havent been able to get a fish on one of these gimmick lures. Keep it up buddy! Hope to see 500k subs soon!
Beautiful lake. Nice day out. Thanks for taking us along Matt. STay safe and Fish On!
I watch your videos every Saturday. Thanks you do a great job.
Looked like you had some fun! Thanks you for sharing!!
Man those fish got bigger & bigger as you were catching them !!! That one lure had the look of Santa Claus on that 1 side of it it was funny to see the Grumpy Old Man on the other side haha giggle !!! Thanks for fishing today I really liked it a lot !!!
It was definitely more of a late day bite on this trip!
You have a good catch average on frogs. Good job. You provide some exciting fishing trips for several different species. Thank you.
"And we'll just go ahead and draw a happy playful little gnome right there in the corner"
The Trailer Park Collection! 😂😂😂 Nice work!
Fantastic video really starting to think lure colours don't matter 😊
Trailer park lady in curlers.
Good catch
Nice time 24 mins.
🐸🐢👍🐟🐟🐟
I can empathize with the CWFF (cotton wood fuzzy float) experienced in this video. I have a favorite lake in Michigan that I travel to a few times each year where this is a real issue. If there is a healthy breeze, it helps push this stuff to one end of the lake, but it is miserable if not impossible to fish with a buzz bait or a whopper plopper when this fuzzy stuff is on top of the surface!
😂 that bait is hilarious!
YES ONE MORE CAST
Here's a FISHING story for you. It seemed like every cast.I caught BASS Had such a good time. I did it for 18 and a 1/2 hours. I know this because my wife let me know when I got home. She was so proud of me. The whole neighborhood knew how proud of me she was.😅😅😅
Too funny. Also the couch and sandwiches sucks. lol
😂 😂 “WHERE WERE YOU????”
“Fishing, they wouldn’t stop biting!”
It must have been a great day.
I did the ole "one last cast" the other night with a Rapala Skitterpop, brown frog pattern....put a nice 5lb smallie in the boat. I was about to pack it in and head home, just had to take another shot at it. Funny how that happens so often. Next thing I knew, another hour had gone by. Lol
@@toddwilkinson621 😂 it’s like the fish know when you’re about to call it and they’re like NOPE, you thought you hooked me? I hooked you.
@@thatfishingnoobIt's as if they know we're much happier out there, than at home cutting the grass....lol
Happy Saturday hope we have a great day
A most entertaining video, especially after my bittersweet topwater fishing yesterday. I lost a monster bass that tore off the rear treble hook of my Rapala Skitter Prop. Just about the same incident with this Rapala lure happened to me seven years ago and also with a monster. I was raging. Then two other big fish followed that shook off my lure. I was even more frustrated. It seemed as though an evil spell (once more) had been cast on me. But luckily I eventually was made up with a 1,520 kg specimen on a Savage Gear snake and my spirits were lifted.
This video is proof that preference for some specific features on a lure is oftentimes rather inside the angler´s head rather than the fish´. I don’t usually use the frog lure. I caught a couple of big bass on it six years ago and that’s all, and besides I think they were reaction bites. Surely I should try it more.
The thing i always find funny about most topwaters is that behind all the flash and charm, they nearly all have pretty much the same silhouette which is pretty much all that matters to the fish most days.
I was throwing top water one day, no bites for over 2 hours. I threw the butt of my cigar in the water and a bass came up and inhaled it in a split second. Go figure
@@vinnycorso412cool story, but throw your litter where it belongs.
@@SpaceGhost- Cigars are tobacco. Tobacco is a plant. Plants come from the Earth. I put it right where it belongs
@@SpaceGhost-a cigar is not litter, it's plant matter. A cigarette filter on the other hand is totally litter.
You're not wrong. I can't tell you how many times fish have come up to take a swipe when the topwater isn't doing anything but laying a silhouette. And cigars are pure tobacco....maybe work on some homemade baits that look like an,Alec Bradley or Macanudo 😅😅😅😅
Howdy Matt, great top water action!!!
Great video. Your baby bass are my PBs! 👍👍👍
Hey bro, Adam here big fan from Ireland, thank you for documenting your journeys on the river. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do this for us. I'm big into fishing, over here we have massive pike and beautiful trout. Unfortunately no cat fish to catch :(. Thanks for the content and I hope you've a great day brother. Fish on!
Love your videos Matt your the reason I got back into fishing soo much
Dumpster fire frog with a first dumpster fire catch. Haha. Pike wasnt even hooked 😂 love it
I don’t know how I even got that fish in!
Always enjoy the videos...YakAngler must put in the miles drive to his fishing spots...when and how does he find the time enjoying his family ..between his job...making and editing videos..he is an iron man for sure...thanks for the time in sharing.
It’s at least an hour drive each way to most of the spots I fish. It can make for some long days but I like being on the road once I get away from city traffic.
🎣 still my favorite UA-cam channel.
Thanks. As always well done and enjoyable viewing.
I love your videos! You should definitely do more catfishing, I recently went out and caught quite a few using chicken breast soaked garlic salt, and grape and cherry kool-aid. It'd be interesting to see how they like it up there. Great work and keep up the amazing content!
I love your videos sir. Keep them coming.
Very nice. WHAT a day. But... The cow at the end? You said 18 and. But it looks like 17and. So much fun. Thanks for sharing this with us. Kepp working on your base ( tan)
That’s a great day on the water you had a bunch of nice fish.
You are awesome my friend!! You have taught me how to topwater and I thank you for this!!
Lures are designed to catch fishermen 😂catching a fish is a bonus another good day Matt
you are soooo right. well said.
As yes it's time to watch NDYakAngler to catch bigger fish than I've ever with a novelty lure
The scum frog Launch frog has become my go to frog the last couple years. Great colors, soft body, great hookup ratio. Plus the flat bottom makes it sit flat on top of vegetation so it doesn't roll on its side and hang up in stuff.
Lol. I'm happy to see you catching em with the garden gnome, but I'm not surprised after that Chewbacca video.
2 seconds in and already liked it. I’ve never liked a video so fast lol love getting the notifications for new videos
Waco,TX...you've got me pissing in my pants fishing with those assorted " OLLIES " Quality lures. Ignore those so called PRO's ...just watch you , learn ,laugh , then go fishing !
The ND River Legend~
Happy fishing!
If that snapping turtle had actually gotten that frog, it would have been quite a show getting it back. Especially with all fingers intact. Take care and thank you.
I lost one of my favorite Storm Rattlin' Chug Bugs to a huge snapping turtle once. Accidentally landed it right in front of it and it slammed it, nearly ripping the rod out of my hands. Waited 20 minutes trying to see if it would let it go, but no dice....it finally got tired of messing around and just snapped off my Spider Wire braid like it was 4lb mono. Bye bye, Chug Bug, you served me well.
"... quit teasing the turtle". That has to go on your merch man.
saturday afternoon highlight..now the weekend is complete :)
Really fun to watch, thanks
15:07 check out the carp next to the boat
That thing fishes! Gnome talking about? 😂
You dint...
@@Kltpzyxm17 😂
I will be out in my canoe tomorrow morning doing this as well. Some topwater pike-ing action!! Skoden lures Rat, frog, loon and mallard. Let'Skoden!!
😂😅😂Gnome Fish! Gnome was a lot of fun.
I buy the best lures i can find and regularly get skunked and here you are catching fish with a gnome 😂
This video has confirmed my suspicions of him being related to bob ross. So fun to watch! Keep it up
Had to chuckle a little about complaining about the cottonwood fluff, I'm dealing with a quarter inch of it right now up here in Palmer, Alaska. Cottonwood is a scourge :)
Gnome or not to Gnome, that is the question. 😂
We always know the answer with you 💪😎
Really love the content!
Would be cool to see video of your kayak setup
That last catch reminded me of a stressful frog unhooking from last year. When I picked the fish up, the frog came loose inside its mouth and apparently this bass was not like most others because it decided to try to swallow the frog. I grabbed the line just in time to prevent the second hook from going past that sphincter, but I had to spend a good few minute carefully getting the other hook out of its throat WHILE keeping the line taught because it continually tried to finish swallowing the lure. So strange for a fish to try swallowing as it is being held out of the water.
In other words: STOP spending your money on high dollar “life like” lures. You can catch fish with unfinished wood if it has hooks in it.
Another excellent video - thanks, Matt!
I wonder if the other frog baits would be better if the drain holes were slightly enlarged? I think I'll try it! Maybe even a drop or two of crazy glue to keep the body from sliding up the hook on some of them? Hmm!
These Scum frogs seemed to be well weighted where they sat almost vertically in the water. I think that helps to keep water from going into the larger hole, the air trapped keeps the water out. Even with the legs gone and two extra holes there at the bottom water stayed out. I’m not sure if it would work as well with other frogs but it might be worth a try.
And THAT is why we’re always making “just one more” cast!!! Best for last!
can't wait to start catching them on top water!
POV the bass: hey is that a garden gnome I don't it can fit in my mouth and it's moving.🤣😆🤣
Nice looking Large mouth bass 😊
I love the Scum Frog brand. Itś been my go to Frog for awhile now.
It was awesome waking up to this and making a pack of bacon to
That explains why I only heard about squeezing hollow frog lures recently; I've only ever used scum frogs!
Fishing.... stress relief.
When you said "That's a chunky Bass" I suddenly thought something else was coming :)
I have used Scum Frog lures for years and they are every bit as good or better than the ones that cost twice as much and have more realistic graphics.
The recent trend of super premium lures, especially Japanese ones, that cost $20, $50 or $75 or more is absolutely ridiculous. The misplaced egos and vanities of fools who spend that much on lures will drive up the prices of more reasonably priced lures to the detriment of all anglers.
No kidding. Anything with "Musky" written on the package requires mortgaging the house these days too, and yet I've caught as many of those when just out throwing top water for bass over the years. Crazy prices nowadays, even plastics are rediculously priced.
Black spot on the lip is common sign of a very healthy fish/ and or a good sign of a healthy fishery
Matt,you rock! ❤Peace
Hope all your fishing spots in North Dakota and Minnesota are all good from the rain
What make and model net are you using? That looks to be the perfect size for kayak fishing.
YOOOOOOOOOOOO BassMang! ! ! ! ! ! 👋🥸....
this was sooooooooooo relaxing...
the only bad thing about your video is those nasty humans echoing across the lake, but that aint really your fault or under your control eh lol..
thanks soooooo much for uploading a new kayak video, your efforts are very much appreciated..
see you on the next one an stay safe out there Matt..
buh bye from Central Canada 👋🤓
Like the golf videos and you guys strike the ball pretty damn good
🐸 Awesome 👍
I guess the gnome proves bass will hit anything of appropriate size. LOL
The Bob Ross of fishing
