Ahhh! Just when things were looking bleak, here's Matt with new content to brighten my day! At 83, I can't get out to experience it myself, but I really enjoy it through your lens! Thanks for being this old guy's link to brighter days!
What, you don't think Randy Blaukat complaining about ffs and then selling lures designed for that style of fishing by calling them "game changing" is top teir content?
I must say, I think that was the best videoed ice fishing trip I have ever seen. Your underwater camera was crystal clear and amazing, as if we were there with you. The fish you got were outstanding. Your voice for narration is perfect, and the details of what you use for hooks, baits, leader, lb test for line, is helpful and appreciated. Thank you for taking us along with you and I HUGELY look forward to future ice fishing videos. Keep up the good work.
Although my country (Spain) is too warm for ice fishing I found this video most enjoyable. Big bass and pike that put up powerful fights. Certainly a most interesting afternoon.
As a resident of the American South East, ice fishing is something that I've never been close to experiencing. Thanks for letting me enjoy vicariously from the comfort of my home!
Been watching for years. Best damn content on UA-cam. Since watching: bought a kayak, bait caster, plethora of whopper ploppers, mouse lures… My wife and I call you Fish Whisperer. Bob Ross on a kayak. Your casts are like brush strokes, your vids bring me serenity and joy. So, thanks for that.
Dude I love your content favourite fishing channel to watch honestly feel every other channel I try to watch just doesn’t hit the same been a fan for 4 years now so honoured to watch these gems everyday!!
That camera footage is so amazing. You got me excited for ice fishing here in Northern Illinois. Just waiting on some safe ice awesome video as always.
I don’t like ice fishing but. I do ❤watching you catch angry pike through the ice 😂. Always a blast seeing you fish. Can’t wait till you’re back out on your kayak catching small mouth on top water.
I try and get up to my place in northern Minnesota every now and then during the winter to do just this. So much fun as long as I have a shelter and a heater or three. Thanks for sharing!
This is the BEST fishing channel hands down. But to be honest, I only watched the highlights. I hate the cold and the ice and the snow. Just getting too old for that. COME ON SPRING! Nice catches today though!!!🥰
I get a couple ice fishing trips in and I’m ready for spring! It’s just boring to me staring at a hole in the ice all day. I have a bunch of footage from last summer I’m going to start posting though.
Oh thank God a new video! I've been thru the whole NDyakangler library..been watching Jon B videos...God help me... Welcome back Matt! Thank you for another great video!
This is AWESOME! I've never caught a big pike and I've never gone ice fishing. I'm still pretty new to fishing, and I really really want to get a big ol' pike. Great video man!
You, sir, are a mad lad running straight mono for pike! I’ve landed a few on ice and soft water without a leader, but the tipups all get a steel leader.
MattI hope your "greatest hits" from last summer videos come out in a series. You could do best of by species or by month. We have a lot of Winter left and what ever you throw together would be appreciated. Your skills at fishing and videoing are unparalleled. Thanks!!
insane footage bro, my fav is starting @15:45 the bass is like hmmm am i that hungry for such a small meal lol, do more of these camera ice fishing, its awesome shots
Love it, great video, Matt. Some awesome catches out there. Really need this cold to stick around to actually make some ice around here and hopefully it sticks. I’ve been itching to get out
I thought about dropping the cam next to my tipup hole but those big suckers swim around too much. There’s a slim chance they’d stay in view of the camera with a fish eyeing them.
I wish I had an ice season right now. You just made me want to get out even more. This back and forth weather in PA hasn't allowed us to have any good ice yet
Can't believe you throw those pike back when ice fishing! Pefect eating size and freshwater fish are always the best out of the ice! I'm right next to the St.Lawrence river up in Northeast NY, can see Canada out of my living room window. The best fish up here come out of the ice. Hardly anyone keeps fish during the summer because of the parasites and other things growing in them when the water warms up. The cold season is when fish expell those things and get better oxygenated water to cleanes their systems, which in turn a better eating fish. Grew up with freezers full of winter caught fish filets eating them doing fish fry parties and clam bakes during the summer.
I'm looking forward to the walleye spawning run to start. The river I fish has been altered by Helene, and there are eight new log and debris piles sitting in the shallows in the middle of the river. God only knows what the underwater structure looks like. Weeks when you don't post a video are a drag. I was excited to see this one pop up in my feed. Looks like a good day.

Totally! I enjoy watching others catch fish when I can't get out there. It's almost like being there.

@@thomasmetzger9234 Always amazing how quickly the egomaniacs take the discussion downhill.
Can always rely on Matt to post good fishing content when no one else is

That bass immediately taking the wax worm made my day. Nothing more satisfying than a successful bait change!
Although my country (Spain) is too warm for ice fishing I found this video most enjoyable. Big bass and pike that put up powerful fights. Certainly a most interesting afternoon.
Hearing that drag peel is a great sound! Thanks for the hard water content!
Loved the underwater footage! Thanks Matt. I always look forward to your videos. Watching you is what inspired me to start fishing.

Make a trip and try it! It's a blast. 🤣
As someone in Quebec Canada here..... we are starting to not even be able to go because it doesn't get cold enough
Underwater video is great to see!
Another quality video by my favorite fisherman on yt
What a nice surprise to see this pop up!
Great to see you back Matt !! Hoping 2025 brings you peace, good health, and prosperity !

“Holy smokes, holy smokes, you got a dandy” 😂 Lololol the north and their fun way of talking
we are guilting of that, but that pike is far from a dandy
Dude I love your content favourite fishing channel to watch honestly feel every other channel I try to watch just doesn’t hit the same been a fan for 4 years now so honoured to watch these gems everyday!!
Love the ice fishing content. The underwater camera makes it really entertaining
Thanks. Underwater camera footage is interesting. I’ve always wondered how much sunlight filters through that snow covered ice. Well done.
That camera footage is so amazing. You got me excited for ice fishing here in Northern Illinois. Just waiting on some safe ice awesome video as always.
Missed seeing your vids. Keep up the great content. Good day on the ice.
I love the fact you fish to save some to eat, and your a conservationist you fish for the sport of catch a release. We'll done sir!
When life gives you lemons (winter), make lemonade (go ice fishing)!!! Thanks for the content!!! Stay warm!
I work in the cold, I don’t play in the cold… I don’t ice fish, but I’d be happy to watch you do it.😜
For real. I can't stand being cold. And wet.
I don’t like ice fishing but. I do ❤watching you catch angry pike through the ice 😂. Always a blast seeing you fish. Can’t wait till you’re back out on your kayak catching small mouth on top water.

Awesome vid. Drag peeling out is the greatest sound ever.
Another great video. Thanks, Matt!
Was just telling my son we should be seeing an ice fishing video any day. 😂Been having to watch old videos for awhile.
Great to see the first upload of the year!
Keep up the ice fishing content! I love the fish cam
Good one, Matt...that camera footage is especially amazing!
10 seconds ago another great fishing video! This what got me into fishing and i never stopped! Stay safe on the ice
This is a great vid! I knew nothing about ice fishing. But I know more now😊 thank you
Dude hearing that fish pulling drag at 5:28 gave me chills haha! So cool
We are just starting to get decent ice down here in SE Wisconsin! You've got me itching to get out there now. Thanks for the quality content!
Nice setup, thanks for showing the underwater camera to.
This is the BEST fishing channel hands down. But to be honest, I only watched the highlights. I hate the cold and the ice and the snow. Just getting too old for that.
COME ON SPRING! Nice catches today though!!!🥰

This is AWESOME! I've never caught a big pike and I've never gone ice fishing. I'm still pretty new to fishing, and I really really want to get a big ol' pike. Great video man!
You, sir, are a mad lad running straight mono for pike! I’ve landed a few on ice and soft water without a leader, but the tipups all get a steel leader.
Awesome underwater footage! I’ve learned a lot from your videos!
A wonderful surprise this morning to have a new video from you. Happy New Year, Matt!
Best fishing channel I've ever found. This one is one of the best ND Yak vids ever...so far.
Nice pike. It's fun when they run with your line and thankfully your line held. Thanks for sharing.
Finally! I’m gong ice fishing for some crappie and walleye today and As soon as I saw the notification you posted I rushed to UA-cam
Great to see Kenneth and the boys out having a good time in nature and taking a break from those Walmart parking lots
Im all about open water topwater and soft plastic but it's refreshing to see Matt's yearly ice fishing and cat fishing videos
What a great day! You must have gotten your 10,000 steps going from hole to hole haha. Thanks for sharing with us!
this was sooooooo therapeutic to watch Matt...

Buh Bye from Central Canada 👋🤓

Underwater footage was sweet!

No offense to ice fishing but I'm already looking forward to spring and that first river smallie. Glad to see you back Matt
Felt that, I dont have balls big enough to walk on ice
That's what she said 😂@@justsomeromanwithinternetacces
Same
Just got a new pike setup some I've been waiting for spring
This was actually the first year I was more pumped for ice content. I learn a lot watching Matt and I’m out on the ice for the first season 😅
Great to see you back at it, Matt!
Nice that we finally got some decent ice. Thanks for the vid.
Love ice fishing & the cold. Spring will come soon enough. 😂. Matt is back in action. 👍👍👍
The underwater camera is AWESOME

Haven't ice fished in a long time but you sure make it appealing😊
Great video. You should do one with the best catches of 2024.
This video saved my monday work blues! Thanks man, great video!
Nice Job Matt, I'm waiting for ice to get thick enough in New Jersey. Gonna try ice fishing for the first time this year. Love your content.
Great video! Glad to see some ice fishing action.
Nice fish!👍
I really like the underwater video!
A Happy New Year to you and your family Matt, I hope it's a healthy and prosperous one 😎
Love it, great video, Matt. Some awesome catches out there. Really need this cold to stick around to actually make some ice around here and hopefully it sticks. I’ve been itching to get out
Great video, Matt! Those fish kept you guys hopping!
Nice to see you back at it Matt. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Underwater camera was awesome!
Looked like a great day. Good work guys.
Dude ice fishing looks like so much fun and that camera action is money!
Pike thru the ice, nice ! Waiting for my hometown river to freeze so I can get some wallys
Always nice to watch your videos
Excellent day I'd say. Very nice fish. Thank you.
You caught more fish in the 1st minute of the video then i have all ice season! 😂
Very nice kind of fish, they're beautiful.
awsome video Matt, i love the ice fishing videos hope you do more🎣
The dreaded ice fishing is back..
Great catch sad cant see the pike fight the hook.
👍👍🥶
I thought about dropping the cam next to my tipup hole but those big suckers swim around too much. There’s a slim chance they’d stay in view of the camera with a fish eyeing them.
Howdy Matt! Great underwater shots!
I wish I had an ice season right now. You just made me want to get out even more. This back and forth weather in PA hasn't allowed us to have any good ice yet
I did not know this guy did ice fishing thats so cool
I can already hear Randy Blaukat moaning about your underwater camera!
Really pretty colors on those fish
That’s awesome how you have a camera down there, so we can see the fish in action!

I had to pick up my daughter immediately after I got off the ice and I don’t think she’s quite ready to watch me cut up a bunch of fish yet lol
Was so sad thinking I was having to wait for a new video, but here we are ❤️
you guys did better fishing on the ice than i do mid summer
That first bass looks like me after Thankgiving dinner when people want to hand out dessert too soon!
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks Matt
So jealous. Patiently waiting for ice in northern Indiana !!
you're lucky there, there's ice, we have a non-existent winter here in Estonia
Duuuuude the underwater camera is SICK
I'm looking forward to the walleye spawning run to start. The river I fish has been altered by Helene, and there are eight new log and debris piles sitting in the shallows in the middle of the river. God only knows what the underwater structure looks like. Weeks when you don't post a video are a drag. I was excited to see this one pop up in my feed. Looks like a good day.
Heck yea man, great day out there
Nice catches! Still waiting for the ice here in upstate NY…
Great action and peace 😂
Happy new year Matt!
