It’s so nice watching a fishing video and not be told to “smash” the subscribe button. Quality channels such as this attract subscribers on their own merits.
I'm a new subscriber I've been watching your channel for about a year and I mean no disrespect when I say you're the Mister Rogers of bass fishing you're smooth mellow tone your relaxed attitude toward what you do and what you love makes you one of my favorites on UA-cam to watch keep it up I wish that I was fishing instead of shoveling snow
I just love when he says "little buddy"! And the fish would be a monster Ohio bass! My blood pressure drops so much when I watch these video's. Matt is so relaxed & calm, it's like he's channeling me!! :-)
I live in PA we have awesome smallmouth fishing on the Susquehanna River.There is nothing like a bass crushing a topwater lure.I really enjoy your videos ,keep them coming.
you're blessed with the fisheries you have man... goodness what id do to catch smallies and largemouth like that all day, theyre not the biggest, but my goodness, the health of these ecosystems is epic.
Super Healthy looking Green Bass. Four for Five to start the night ain't too shabby and that second strike and the boat side blast were both Awesome ! It just doesn't get much better than that. Thanks for helping me cope with this Rampant Cabin Fever ~
A single video of yours beats my fishing for an entire month, maybe more. I don’t know what your day job is but you could do individual kayak charters for big bucks!
Matt, Thanks for my mid winter fishing fix. We had a few 50/60 degree days last week and I was not able to get out due to family constraints. Now it is 13 degrees water including the river is getting hard and we are due to get 6 inches of snow tonight. The January thaw is over and winter is making a comeback. I look forward to froggin weather, I no longer use the phrase “it is too hot” Etc no such thing. The last 2 fish looked like twins, nice healthy and chubby. I hope you have lots of summertime video footage on the shelf. I like your hard water videos too.
Nice hits ! Love me some Bass Fishing and a nice surface strike . One of my favorite things about living in Orlando . You're in the honey hole . Be safe & God Bless
nothing beats topwater bass fishing. its such a rush watchin a fatty crush a frog through the slop. been watchin your vids for a long time man. love em
Awesome. You Sir make it look too easy (as you often do!) Those of us who grind for hour upon hour, day after day trying to catch a decent fish know that this is a dream session. For anglers new to the game who might think that they can expect this kind of action every day on the water, I'm afraid you are in for a rude awakening. Lots of people take up fishing with grand expectations after watching action like this, but quickly give up disillusioned with lack of results. I know there are years of experience and knowledge gone into those 10 mins and 5 secs of action, and it wasn't by accident that Matt was in the right place at the right time doing the right things. If you are new to fishing or getting discouraged by lack of results, give yourself some more realistic goals. Enjoy watching Matt (or other great fishermen) catch beasts cast after cast but don't think that you should measure your own success by that lofty standard. 👍
I’m going kayak largemouth fishing today for the first time! I’m used to standing up and fishing. It’ll b different! Love your vids man! Keep em coming!
Awesome videos like usual. Definitely the best part for me was the unexpected boatside strike and catch. Very impressive - nearly had 4 in a 4 casts there. That's quite a feat!
@@undergroundchuckeytennesse2526 Hey Chuckey! Funny to see you in another channel's comments! Yeah that musky strike by the rock was about as cool as they come. Only like 4 more months until open water fishing starts back up!
How extremely awesome. I have had a few days like when I lived in Oklahoma, but not many. I know you love that frog and I don't blame you. I plan on getting one before our spring fishing season starts, but all I could think was, "man a buzz bait right there would be sooooooo great. Anyway, another fantastic video. Greeting from Texas.
Man, you must live around some of the best fisheries in the country! So jealous. That frog bite is some of the funnest fishing of all! I have one spot where I can get on a good frog bite but it only lasts for about three weeks. Then it just turns off... tight lines my friend!
NDYakAngler whatever it is you seem to make the best of it. Loved the Chewbacca video! I’d love to bring my kayak out your way one season to get in on the action!
I do both. I like to bend the hooks out so there’s about a 1mm gap between the hook point and the frog body. It makes a huge difference in my hook up ratio!
Wowwwww!!! what an awesome experience with the frog!! only once have I gone 3 for 3, but damn if @6:49 didn't happen sooooooo many times to me with my frogs, Congrats that you landed it!! Awesome footage :D
Why do you reel lefty on the spinning reel and right on the casting? Are you left or right handed? I am thinking of switching my spinning reel to the right side like my bait casters.
I reel with my right hand with both types of reels. I’m right handed, always reeled with my right since I was a kid so that’s just what feels natural to me.
It’s a public lake. It used to be crazy out there, had several 100 fish days in the past, but it’s a shallow lake so a lot of the bass died off last winter due to low oxygen.
I see that you have been using the WS Tarpon 120 for quite some time. Have you ever had any experience with the WS ATAK 120? If you have, I would appreciate your thoughts.
Nothing like a good top water frog video in the middle of January to make you forget about winter!

As a fisherman you live for these type of moments. Unreal. An evening to remember I’m sure.
One of the coolest frog videos I've seen! I hope that I can have an evening of fishing like that some day.
The very best on UA-cam! That was a slammin frog bite, by far my favorite way to fish! Awesome video
I just love when he says "little buddy"! And the fish would be a monster Ohio bass! My blood pressure drops so much when I watch these video's. Matt is so relaxed & calm, it's like he's channeling me!! :-)
I got some ice on my pond and you out here slaying beasts on a frog. Living vicariously through you my friend. Keep up the great work
YOUR THE MAN. THANKS for mid-january fishing video, I know there are many of us that can't wait to get a line in the water.
I live in PA we have awesome smallmouth fishing on the Susquehanna River.There is nothing like a bass crushing a topwater lure.I really enjoy your videos ,keep them coming.
Nothing better than throwing frogs for largemouth awesome brother
Good freakin Lord..... Awesome video for january... Those bass are so healthy and chunky.. Thanks for posting that!
Now this is a quality video. Simple 10 minutes of what I consider a good ass day on the water.
Your videos inspire me to go fishing every day! Thank you for your amazing content!!!!
you're blessed with the fisheries you have man... goodness what id do to catch smallies and largemouth like that all day, theyre not the biggest, but my goodness, the health of these ecosystems is epic.
As usual, another awesome video. Thanks for keeping us posted on the tackle you’re using and the great catches. Keep it up!
This is therapeutic for me. Freezing in Michigan
With ya!

Nothing camouflages quite like Mr. Largemouth in his ghillie suit!
What an incredible evening of frog fishing! Doesn't get any better than that!
Well that looks amazing. Couldn’t imagine having more fun doing anything else. Awesome stuff as usual, Matt.
Man those were some beautiful bass buddy.. That was definitely a good day on the water
You’re killing me! I’m in MN and just about to go out and shovel snow. I hate you but I love you more! :-) How long until summer?! Do you know? ;-)
Bro same. This snow storm we've been expecting for the last week really didn't live up to my expectations.
MN rep!
@@nickelhunter3129 lol! Hang in there! MN is home! You know we love it! :-)
I don’t rely on seasons showing up on time in MN but I do know it’s only 112 more days until fishing opener! Hopefully it’s at least spring by then.
Your killing me bro. Here north of Toronto dreaming about heavy cover froggin. Summer couldn't get here fast enough.
Matt,

Top water in January gotta love it! I miss that pop so much can’t wait for summer in Indiana!!
Watching this during a snowstorm. Great vid. Come on spring.
Man - that was like my entire month of June right there. Absolutely amazing.
nothing beats topwater bass fishing. its such a rush watchin a fatty crush a frog through the slop. been watchin your vids for a long time man. love em
So close to 50K! Thanks for your efforts! (its -44 C here today...)

I caught my personal best on that same frog. 8 and a half pound largemouth. Love your vids, keep it up.
Thanks! That would be awesome to catch one that big on a frog!
That's the stuff bass fishing dreams are made of. Quite an amazing video!
I couldn't have asked for a better night to be out there in the kayak!
Amazing. The bass were aggressive and plentiful, great video.
Your videos are insane, you have amazing experiences. I don't know how you stay so calm.
I’m going kayak largemouth fishing today for the first time! I’m used to standing up and fishing. It’ll b different! Love your vids man! Keep em coming!
Perfect for this cold Mn weather. Love it!!
You must be in Brazil to be fishing summer in mid January. Awesome and keep em coming!
Ive been fishing my whole life and never had a day near any if your videos. Insane.
Matt, I wanna thank you for these videos while we are out here shoveling snow!!
Awesome action! Love the top water frog bite.
Man those fish were HAMMERING that frog!! Got me all excited for summer now meanwhile I’m knee deep in snow ahah.
Awesome video bro got me jealous can't wait for warm weather here in CT. Keep those great vids coming! 👍👍
I love your videos !!! What gear setup are you using on that froggin video? (Rod, reel and line ?
Awsome videos man ! Keep up the good work. You are the bob Ross of fishing !! Lol
dang that is stuff we dream of during the winter for us to get into when the summer comes! sigh cant wait! thanks for sharing like always!
One of the best therapy videos ever.
This is probably the craziest frog video I've ever seen!!! Toads EVERYWHERE
Using a frog to catch toads - oh the irony!
Awesome videos like usual. Definitely the best part for me was the unexpected boatside strike and catch. Very impressive - nearly had 4 in a 4 casts there. That's quite a feat!
Remainds me of that big muskie that hit right beside you near that rock, last year. I must have watched that 10 times ..,
@@undergroundchuckeytennesse2526 Hey Chuckey! Funny to see you in another channel's comments! Yeah that musky strike by the rock was about as cool as they come. Only like 4 more months until open water fishing starts back up!
6:49 scared the hell out of me 🤣🤣🤣 crazy good fishery you have.
How extremely awesome. I have had a few days like when I lived in Oklahoma, but not many. I know you love that frog and I don't blame you. I plan on getting one before our spring fishing season starts, but all I could think was, "man a buzz bait right there would be sooooooo great. Anyway, another fantastic video. Greeting from Texas.
Awesome frog fishing!! I caught many fish in the same frog last year. Awesome lure!! Loved watching this video. Awesome job 👍
Awwww, the sounds of summer!
6:50 scared the hell out of me.
Happened to me once but on a whopper plopper 🤣😎🤙🔥🔥🔥
you save me 1-2 days with these videos)
You are only person putting out content on top water AMAZING
You make me hate winter... and scared the crap out of me on that one hit by the kayak
All these comments are really making me appreciate the midwest fisheries even more. I do love our 10,000 lakes
Well that was only slightly EPIC! Thanks for saving a few for the cold months. ✌️
sweet video! big bass busting top, sunset, and singing birds! oh crap, thats another toad! haha
Just got done shoveling my drive way, eating noodles now and watching you slay 🤣😎😎🤙🤙🤙👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:59 Greatest part of the video
About 700 is pretty sweet too....
that and 6:49
Love your channel
What a good streak!!! That is a great evening of fishing 🎣🎣
Amazing top water strikes, those fish are very feisty, nice catches!
Thanks for making killer videos! You inspired me to start a channel of my own!
Wow.. I dont think I've ever seen such an aggressive bite. Insane
It's crazy how aggressive every fish is you catch lol dangling the frog a foot away from that one was sweet
Awesome video!What kind of kayak are you using?
Thanks! The kayak is a WS Tarpon 120.
Awesome brother Awesome 👍
Awesome man!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
Like i said earlier thank god for your videos get me throutgh winter
Man, you must live around some of the best fisheries in the country! So jealous. That frog bite is some of the funnest fishing of all! I have one spot where I can get on a good frog bite but it only lasts for about three weeks. Then it just turns off... tight lines my friend!
I think the short warm season here makes fish even more aggressive during the few months they can hunt and thrive in shallow water.
NDYakAngler whatever it is you seem to make the best of it. Loved the Chewbacca video! I’d love to bring my kayak out your way one season to get in on the action!
10 feet from the kayak that was insane man!
You sure give a guy cabin fever with a video like this
So I live in Williston North Dakota what part of ND you stay? If you don’t mind me asking let’s link up sometime 🎣
I live in Fargo so I fish MN more than ND. I might have to take a trip or two out west to Nelson lake once it starts warming up though.
Great video man cant wait to fish come on winter
Making me miss summer
Love the vids bro keep it up
Do you open your hooks or trim the tails? Love you videos.
Harry Grimley he has a video on just that
@@calebjones3494 knew I'd seen it somewhere. Haven't tried it yet but...
I do both. I like to bend the hooks out so there’s about a 1mm gap between the hook point and the frog body. It makes a huge difference in my hook up ratio!
What line do you use when throwing the spook JR on your spinning rod/reel? Your vids are awesome! Can’t wait for spring!!
Yes!! More fishing.
Yes, enjoy fishing freely while you still can.
👍🎣 every time...
He almost seems like if Bob Ross went fishing
Bob Ross of fishing here ladies & gents
Can't wait to have my frog on 24/7. LUCKY!!!
Do you bend the hooks out when using frogs?
I do, I bend them so there’s about a 1mm gap between the hook point and the frog body. It makes a huge difference in my hook up ratio.
He sounds like the Bob Ross of fishing
“Damn near made me jump out of my kayak” 😂
Holy shit 3 cast 3 fish same spot your a BEAST👍😁
Nothing better. Those of us that know understand
Wowwwww!!! what an awesome experience with the frog!! only once have I gone 3 for 3, but damn if @6:49 didn't happen sooooooo many times to me with my frogs, Congrats that you landed it!! Awesome footage :D

I reel with my right hand with both types of reels. I’m right handed, always reeled with my right since I was a kid so that’s just what feels natural to me.
@@ndyakangler Fair enough reason. Also keeps the paddle hand free. Love the videos!
Almost makes a person forget about the snow
Is this a public body of water or private. That’s insane bass catching!
It’s a public lake. It used to be crazy out there, had several 100 fish days in the past, but it’s a shallow lake so a lot of the bass died off last winter due to low oxygen.
NDYakAngler amazing. Usually those kinds of days are limited to private lakes.
I see that you have been using the WS Tarpon 120 for quite some time. Have you ever had any experience with the WS ATAK 120? If you have, I would appreciate your thoughts.
Great video can't wait for topwater action
I need to get down to that fishery next summer. Which end of the lake are you on?
