This is easily the best fishing channel on UA-cam. None of that stupid-ass, loud, obnoxious, ridiculous "music" and no faked emotions. Just the sounds of a man at one with nature...well done.
Agreed. And none of that silly, "Fish On! Fish On!! Oh My God!! Oh My God!!! nonsense either. (Which reminds me of those other clowns who think they always have to say, "Fire In The Hole!!" every time they burn something, set off a charge or whatever -- but that's another matter.)
i am glad you mentioned that ---- that struck me right away too, it was like watching a Roger Federer precise tennis shots or Connor McDavid picking off a top corner in hockey. when people master a skill it is amazing to watch.
Ahhh...glad I found this channel! No BS, no fake corny emotions. No hand and fingers rolled up in a fist held to your mouth "Oh my God Oh My god" "Did you just see that?". Appreciate the quality content, and your skill. This makes me miss the personality and culture of the upper midwest. Thanks.
I've had other BPM baits ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!
Ima newbie to fishing my dad never showed me or took me fishing but watching you cast and talk about where ur fishing and just watching you enjoy fishing is aweosme to watch. One love brother
Certainly helps his case when he doesn't spend half of his video being at a gas station or restaurant, cooking some super over the top and bloated recipe for fish that no one is going to bother with, being educational every single second of fishing, or talking about literally anything else but fishing before he actually goes fishing.
My parents have been fighting lately and you inspired me to go fishing with my family and make them make the fighting stop. Thank you for inspiring me to go fishing..
Let us know how it's been gong. I hope they have stopped the fighting and have returned to normal. Fishing is a great way to do it. Also, rent a cabin and have cook-outs at state parks
Really enjoying your channel. Fun, honest, fishing with no BS. Bonus points for being one of the few fish-tubers who is in no way obnoxious 😂. Tight lines!
So, I noticed something odd about your videos, ND; when watching your vids, I get a feeling of calm relaxation that I myself do not achieve when I am out on the water...your "zen-ness" is just awesome. As others have said, there's no obnoxious music or forced emotions; you're just a guy in a kayak enjoying a day doing what you love! Maybe I'm too invested in myself when fishing vs. watching someone else, but DAMN are you great to watch! Thanks for the videos and advice! I hope to one day get up to the Boundary Waters for a 7-10 day kayaking trip and land me some of those Pike they're famous for. FISH ON!!!
No idea how ended up watching this video, but I really like it. I have nothing to do with fishing at all. Zero. That said, your video is great. You are so relaxed and not the typical "American" dude that acts like the guys from dude perfect. If you know what I mean. Thanks.
I get into your videos so much, you do a wonderful job taking us fans through the journey with you. I swear, each video goes so quick because of pure enjoyment, the video finishes and I'm thinking to myself that it feels like it just started! You could produce 1-2 hour videos and I can promise you fans like myself would love it! Such great stuff. Makes me dream about open water. 18" of ice melting to go haha!!!
I might still have an hour long video of wade fishing up a stretch of river for smallies! I haven’t started editing it yet but I lost count of the fish I caught on that trip. There’s a couple other awesome trips I still need to edit too before fishing weather returns here.
Wow. This was so relaxing a genuine. Thank you for just being a normal (although supremely gifted) caster instead of a showboating, annoying anything-for-views fisherman.
Gosh, this makes me miss the central and north central Midwest. I’m 64 originally from Kansas and moved to south Texas Hill Country. Lots of wildlife, but 100 degrees like everyday June - October. Not many “lazy” rivers around here either. They dry up fast. Great Channel.
Thanks! This one worked out well where the big fish I put a teaser clip in at the start was caught toward the end of the trip/video. Most of the times in the past that big topwater smash was right at the start of the day lol.
@@TEXCAP yeah i wanna watch him spend ten minutes trying to get his lure unf**ked, so entertaining. lol he has some of the longest cuts without edits and he has actually kept in some mess ups in some of his vids. dudes real. chill.
Sweet video, feeling the natural surroundings in the sound of bird calls and rushing water, some outstanding casting accuracy around/under trees, and a number of nice fish brought in to boot, thanks for sharing.
You're an expert shot with that bait casting reel. Don't get many Pike or Muskie this far south so it's nice to see fishing that I've never done. Thanks for sharing.
i agree with russell this guys casting is NICE sometimes i can get a bit cocky when fishing with my friends but this guy would calmly show me a thing or two
I've been fishing spots and stripes my entire life. Watching you test these strange new lures out is great and has helped me learn new things to try and catch so many more fish than I thought was possible. Topwater is the best! Thank you for the time you spend making these vids.
Don't you love the fact that he catches a big pike he needs two hands to hold stable, and says "It's just a small one," meanwhile the biggest fish I've ever caught was a 4 1/2 pound smallmouth bass. 🤣 I love your content, keep it up, man!
This is my new fishing channel. That looked like a lot of fun. The weather was nice. A couple of decent pike. Solitude. What more could you ask for? Excellent. Thank you.
Apparently, muskies have excellent eyesight with binocular vision, and a high number of cone cells in their eyes, which helps them see at night as well, and a lot of rods in their eyes, which helps them to spot movement and shapes very well. It’s probably why they are called the fish of 10,000 casts.
I call you the "Bob Ross of UA-cam anglers". You calmly say "That's exciting", when snagging these monsters, and I would be having heart failure! Very entertaining and informative videos. I don't have these monsters near me in Oregon, but I'm going to try the whopper plopper for smallies this year.
Living the life ! North Dakota is beautiful although I haven’t done any fishing there. A lot of fishing in Minnesota when I was younger. Brings back memories of catching pike with my grandpa.
From the very beginning I was in tension as though it was me who was fishing and waiting for the water surface to explode as a monster snaps at the lure. My favourite fishing channel hands down. The best moment of my Sunday before going to bed, definitely.
cool:) That rat lure have a nice movement in the water! Theres a small lake with pikes nearby were I live. The back of the pikes there are pitch black with barely visible patterns with no spots. Only a small portion on the underside are white/greenish. The bottom of the lake are black, covered in alot of debree and old branches etc. Greetings from Norway!
It’s not too often you can go hit the water for an hour and hammer a bunch of big fish. I’ve had a couple days like that where I got extremely lucky, but most trips I have to put in several hours of fishing to find a big fish or two.
Even if you didn’t catch a thing, where you launched was a great way to spend a day. Beautiful sunny day birds singing, water was calm. You can’t beat a day like that on the water.
These videos are great,makes me want to fish more each time i see them.i was a die hard lake fisherman,now i see river fishing is where its at.keep posting these videos,there great.
River fishing is awesome! The fish seem a little more aggressive on the river and they relate to structure and current breaks that are a lot easier to see without electronics. Here where the wind almost never stops you can always find some calm spots on the river too.
Been really stressed this week but listening and watching Matt fish really does help relax. Thank you Matt. Happy Easter to you love listening to the birds chirping
Seeing this video has 1.4M views says a whole lot to me but really one thing. Not taking away from your soothing voice and killer angler skills and fishing spots... The majority of humans want to go back to simpler times. Humans weren't made to chase money ,work in an cubicle 70hrs a week with one day off that ends up being sleeping all day b/c they are burnt out. This video here is where it's at . Hoomam + nature = Excellent mental health. It's sad , how sooooo Many in America can't do this because their lives are "too busy" and they are in debt upto their eyebrows.
I've been a subscriber for a good while and I couldn't be happier to see the numbers your getting these days!... Your the Bob Ross of fishing... a very ASMR/chill vibe to your videos....(dude has never asked once to click or subscribe or comment, or buy some merch.)...Godbless and Godspeed to all the fishing family! Tight lines everyday!
1st time viewer. Pike and Muskie fishing here in central Ontario is the best kind of fishing but never tried a rat. We use sppinner baits (casting), 8"to12" rapala lures (trolling), and large 8" sucker minnows (live). Come on up some time and give it a go. Cheers 🇨🇦.
have to agree with everyone. best fishing channel i've seen, and i grew with ol' bill dance. i don't catch enough fish to always remain calm like Mr. Yak here and i can get pretty spun up at times. lol fishing is awesome.
Dang man just love these videos really look forward to them you’re getting me SO unbelievably pumped for fishing season! Ima have to get me a rat and some of those swim baits to toss on my recently acquired first bait casting set up! Thanks Matt!

Led me to think
Nice! No hoot and holler, no swearing. Humble.Peaceful. Thanks!
Man, you are a terrific caster, it's not easy throwing those things under the trees and bushes and not getting hung up all the time. Great channel!
Agreed, his casts are excellent!
Those casts were all edited out. lol
@@brainkill7034 I wonder how many lures he actually lost😃 I know I would have.

@@TheStripeGod unfortunately no
Thanks for taking me along! I enjoyed "our" fishing trip! I was so into it and relaxing!
Wow, the swimming motion of the lure looks very realistic. I have never seen a rat lure before, so cool. 👍🎣
It's one off my favorites and use it daily.
Thank you so much for still having content to release in winter. It keeps me sane
I can’t believe how good this guy is at casting. Like…he could literally hit a bullseye if you had one in the water somewhere.
Eaier to place a heavier lure
And the distance is also impressive
This is hands down the best fishing channel.
Hands up u mean

have to agree with everyone. best fishing channel i've seen, and i grew with ol' bill dance. i don't catch enough fish to always remain calm like Mr. Yak here and i can get pretty spun up at times. lol fishing is awesome.
Water is frozen here. Snowing we we speak. I don’t know how much longer I’ll last but I sure could use a little kayak action right now
Hang in there buddy. He mentioned this video was filmed in June, I'm sure north Dakota looks just like wherever you're at right now.
Freeze! Turn spell-check on! That’s your first warning.
Dude... you are the MAN on casting. I wish I were half as good as you. I see the spots, and you send it right where I would every time.

What is the best fresh water to fish for Salmon in Michigan?
There is no better feeling than when the fish first strike that bait! It's such a rush! Good action.
0:06 pike 😱
Man, how did you learn to cast like that; your placement is perfection!
Lots of practice! River fishing helps with accuracy too, most of the time there’s a target I’m aiming my cast at.
🎉 3 MILLION?!! WAY TO ANGLE, ANGLER!!!🎉
Is not the fact that is a rat, but the motion of almost anything moving on top water, any fish that is a predator is likley to go for a bite.
Thanks for the ride-along! I gotta say you cast with some amazing precision - very impressive!
