- Kayak fishing a Whopper Plopper for summer time river smallies! It was a hot day and the current was moving quick but I was able to find several nice fish willing to hit topwater!

You make everything look so easy. Id lose at least 1 fishing pole just dragging the yak to the water, and without a doubt id be soaking wet before making a single cast which would probably be into the trees 😂😂 sweet video and have a great weekend 🇺🇸 🎣
Lol all it takes is some practice on the water, this guy has been doing this for years and he’s a beast by now haha
@@nolimitj2161 oh ok. Thx kj
Check out his blooper video
Dude 😂. Lose 1 fishing pole dragging the yak to the water made me lol. Good one haha.
I know what u mean i kayak fish atleast once a week at im always getting water in my boot launching or get lures stuck in low hanging trees it always something lol but i love it
Love how agressive smallys are. Pound for pound, probably one of the best sport fish to hookup with. Great video!
I've fished all my life, all over the east coast. I've caught muskie, Northern, huge large mouth in fla. and MY opinion is smallmouths, especially river smallmouths are the hardest fighting and most fun fish that swims!!
Smallmouth and hybrid striper are my 2 favorite fish to catch
I like me some saltwater striper nuthin like hooking up with a 40 lb hawg
@@austineddy8261 each to their own!
Pound for pound they are the hardest fresh water fighting fish. Not pound for pound carp win
Your smallmouth whopper plopper river videos will never get old. Theyre my favorite videos ya post! Always make these!!!
You definitely help my fishing anxiety when I haven’t had a bite in a couple of hours. I just remember to stay calm like you and keep casting. It works!!! Thank you!
You taught me everything I know about smallmouth fishing. Literally everything.
Your videos alone got me into fishing this year. Went camping with my father this week and caught my first bass. I look forward to your videos!
Congrats!
Fantastic!!! Tight lines.
He definitely influenced me to yak fish as well!
That’s great
Congratz! I remember my first bass. 32 years ago. Got it on a mickey mouse 3ft pole and a worm and bobber. That fight inspired my entire life's fishing love.
Coffee and some kayak fishing! Great way to start my day!
I swear nothing beats a top water bite, whether it’s a whopper plopper, spook, walker, frog, or any kind of popper,, gotta love it!!
It's a good day when you post a new video
I totally agree.
i bought a white whopper plopper yesterday and i was regretting it because my river is smaller so i needed like the smallest one and it was ten whole dollars but after fishing it i don’t think i’ve ever caught more fish than i did yesterday amazing
I’ve caught a few of my biggest smallies throwing the largest size whopper plopper for Muskie. Sometimes downsizing is good but often times they will crush the bigger baits just as hard.
That’s awesome! They’re a lot of fun to fish too! One thing I’ve always thought with the Whopper Plopper is color isn’t all that important, it’s the noise and commotion that draws in bites.
I do best it seems with the 110 perch, my favorite by far
The ploppers bring them in.
@@ndyakangler I disagree only because the bluegill plopper i have, I caught 30 in 3 hours, and with the googan revolver thats kind of blackish brown, I maybe get one fish on and the googan is pretty loud. I also think it was the yellow plopper on the r2s plopper that caused the strikes. That bright color seems to get them going.
Always love seeing the weeds and structure in the clear water just swaying with the water. Always gives me ideas of whatd id do or even just calming when im not on the water.
I took my daughter fishing after this video. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to get out there and fish.
Currently healing and resting from knee surgery, your videos been helping so much with killing time. Watch them on a daily basis even the older videos. Cant wait for the knee to be better so I can get back out there on my kayak too. Stay safe out there!
A nice day, a gorgeous river,…and a wonderful fun on the smallies with a largie as a tip. Quite a rush of adrenaline at the moment and a lot of dopamine for the following hours.
Matt´ s fishing videos make my day. I even “fly “ over to ND and Minnesota from Spain via Google Earth trying to find the locations of those fishing paradises simply out of curiosity since our friend, quite understandably, won ˋt reveal them. I wouldn ´t reveal the exact locations either. I am even becoming familiar with a little of ND geography! Matt ˋs “headquarters” might be at Fargo…(lol).
Anyway, one more superb fishing video. As far as coarse fishing (I mean other than salmon and trout by “coarse”, no offense intended) goes, Matt is my number one youtuber.
It’s always cool to me seeing the color patterns on these fish. So beautiful . Love it .
I love st croix rods they feel absolutely amazing
Just found your channel today, you are like the Bob Ross of fishing UA-cam channels and I am here for it. Really appreciate how much care and appreciation you have for the fish and making sure to release them properly
yesterday was a bad fishing day for me..not catching fish,line broke,lure flying over tree..this video makes me relax and wanna go fishing again
Your ability to land monster Fish while navigating your Yak effortlessly is impressive & remarkable. You are a true master of your craft Sir!
Oh yea!
Always enjoy watching your videos right before my annual smallie trip up north. Gets me pumped!!!!
Thanx for doing all the work, and takin' all the skeeters bites! Can't fish alot anymore, so I watch you do it for me!
Heck of a save off that deadfall at 8:44...!!! Another quality video; loved every minute of it...! 😎
You are the Bob Ross of fishing. Easy listening. Masterful fishing.
YAYYYYYYY its the BassMang 😎😎😛😛
17:45
that was a beauty man.. he missed his swipe but ur lightning reflexes caught him as he jumped... very nice :D
till next time , laterz mang 😎😎👍👍
Nothing better than a lightly used launch in a quiet neighborhood
Love your videos can watch it with little dude no cussing and no freaking out on a 9in
So calming to watch
Whopper Plopper is addictive for river Smallmouth! My favorite by far!
Most of the time Bass do go nutty on poppers
Thank you so much for your channel. You're really talking in to getting a fishing kayak.
What beautiful small rivers you have access to. I have four different Rivers within 15 MI. Of course they all converge at some point local. Smallmouth fishing used to be great but has waned in recent years. I remember when you could go out and catch at least a dozen every time. Now you're lucky to get two in an afternoon. Anyway good stuff as always . Catching up on the videos I missed while away. I forward to the next
I’m considering getting a power pole because it looks like a game changer fishing rivers.
They’re a bit of an investment but if something happened to mine I’d buy another in a heartbeat. It’s an awesome piece of equipment for shallow rivers like this!
Between the sound of the reel during casts, and the oars in the water, and his cool calm voice lol, I could go straight to sleep 😂😂
Thank You for the excitement of them smallies!
These videos are so relaxing to watch. Good stuff
Thanks for the show!
Any lesser man woulda lost it all in those sunken branches.
Bravo, my dude.
Thanks for taking me fishing 🎣😀👍
so many lessons here. thank you
Another good day 👍
Thank you again. Really look forward to your videos.
absolutely love the smallie videos!
Your videos are always a delight. Thank you
Bro, what an amazing smallmouth bass fishing adventure my friend! Those were some very chunky smallies. Have a great week and blessings, Rob
You live in paradise.
Idk if you'd considered a small educational series, sharing your techniques and experiences with certain situations. Like midday strategies, After a large rain, times of year lures variances. I'd watch the hell out of those like I watch all the others!! Best fisherman on UA-cam!! GL out there!
Matt, your casting accuracy is crazy good. Fun video as always! Thanks for taking us along!
I always enjoy watching you fish.
Sick explosions and fights
You make everything look so easy thankfuly you have taught me some things now when i go fishing today ill do the things you taught me
As always well done. Thanks.
When I'm out in my yak and bass aren't nibbling I will watch and see what's on your channel and go, WOW! THats what it's like!😮😮😮😮😊😊😊
So glad to see an original smallmouth whopper plopper video! They are my favorite videos! Thanks for sharing!
You know you're good when your your tail's still ploppin'!!
Fished smallies in Maine for the last 4 years.. Average weight 4 lbs. Can't get enough of those smallies.
Love the video!
Paradise
Those are gorgeous bass. That is an incredible way to spend a day!
I'm watching this channel every day now LOL it's so relaxing and just great to see unedited fishing not to mention the areas you visit are amazing! Thanks for posting these videos! :)
Bullseye casting. Nice! Fishing has always been a quiet solitary pursuit for me. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome video as always. You’ve really inspired me to get out more this summer thanks so much! Took my canoe out with a couple fishing buddy’s yesterday and nailed the pike. Caught my personal best smallie last week. Been an amazing summer!! Keep up the great work thanks so much!
how come this man isn't sponsored by St Croix and River 2 Sea is beyond me....I literally ordered their stuff from US to Europe (and paid gazillion dollars in shipping and customs fees) just because of his clips...
This
Or savage gear
Always a treat to see topwater action, great video once again!
Nice quality smallmouth. Looked fun! Thanks.
Absolutely enjoyed that video Matt! Nice to see you in my neck of the woods. Great way to finish this video!!!
Welcome back! Been waiting for your smallie videos 🔥🔥
Fought the current and got some nice ones. Our creeks and rivers have been a guessing game some days. Love that last one.."Threw that one right into that fish's mouth..barely enough water to net this one " None of that funny business you... 🤣 🤣 They never seem to quit
Great day, beautiful bass.
Excellent fishing. Casting was spot on. Almost unfair for the smallies.
I gave a St Croix a try because of you man🤟🏼. Same with Kayak fishing. I eventually bought one last winter and I love it
I’m in the northeast outside of Philly. HOT! Fishing has been tough because of the heat. I envy you guys in Minnesota etc
Love the content man! Always fun to watch
Can’t wait
Sweet man, been enjoying your videos since 2020, thanks dude. Amazing fishery you get to explore.
These are the best videos!
These real life moments where the fish is not in that obviously fishy spot or where you need to keep the fish pinned down and at the same time watch your back so that the current does not drag you into something nasty - those are my favorite.
Love the smallie videos!
So good to see new video of you smallie fishing!
Was going thru withdrawals😉
You videos are amazing!!! Excellent Angeler!!!!
I’m here for the smooth kayak entries
I love how the small mouths are so aggressive when you return them to the water.. they never seem to go home quietly.. always a "mean" splash as they head down..
As always, great video!
Good morning have a blessed week. Enjoying the content from Kansas : )
I'm curious, had anyone ever told you that you remind them of Bob Ross? If not let me be the first to say that, my friend you are the Bob Ross of fishing! When life gets a bit much, I can always count on watching one of your videos and calming right down. The world needs more folks like you. May your lure always find fish, and your net stay full! God bless you!
That log Smallie was the prettiest!
The topwater strikes are violent! Looks like loads of fun.
Precise and accurate casting.
Another Kevin VanDam!!
Watching you makes me want to go out in my kayak!!! Love the vids brother. Keep it up
What ...a... Day !! That was perfect. 👍✝️♥️🎣🏹🛶🇺🇸
I’d like to spend about a week on that creek. 😂😂😂👍
Enjoy your Gatorade mate!! Nice video again 🤞👍🦾
This is exactly the type of fishing I love seeing them smack the plopper just picked two more up today
You have great fisheries. They produce a lot of quality fish. I enjoy your videos.
Well done sir. We are blessed with some Idaho bronzers. So powerful. Great fun.
Catching them 18” and bigger my favorite 😍
Man them river smallish sure are feisty. Love the channel. Makes my Saturday complete.
Awesome action. Great video!
Awesome stuff I love some top water too.
Such a lesson. Using heavier line helped him prevent one break off. I’m gonna have to up my line size
Love it
