Matt is the Mr. Rogers of fishing. "Hello neighbor, I hope you had fun coming along with me and catching several trophy sized fish, I know I sure had fun!"
Glad I’m not the only one that calls him the Mr. Rodgers of fishing. Even my wife likes to watch his fishing videos on a Sunday morning. “He’s so calming”, she says.
New subscriber here. Just want to say your fishing videos are the best. Guys from other channels seem to be way too hyper or have this weird fake persona. But your content is both relaxing, exciting, and informative. I definitely want to head to MN to fish for smallies now! Cheers from Indiana.
I agree with you. I cannot stand that fake youtube persona some people have, that over hypes everything. His videos are all legendary relaxing and quality.
I've been a fan for a while now, and couldn't agree more. He doesn't need fancy editing and background music to keep you engaged. He keeps me coming back bc of his useful info, calm attitude, and of course it's fun to watch how successful he is. No one else like this out there
Totally agree. This guy's persona doesn't need bells and whistles. Love the relaxing tone of his videos. I'm also green with envy that he has access to such great fishing spots.
Nate Wong Agreed dude. I been in the youtube fishing video game for years. I subbed to Jon B 6 years ago and 1Rod 5.5 years ago after meeting him at a local pond. Back then the youtube content was peaceful and informative, but somewhere around 2017/18 it became about entertainment and the relaxing / informative / educational approach went to the way side. Tactical Bassin remains the greatest UA-cam Channel of all time in my eyes. I’m starting to truly enjoy Debo’s Fishing as he comes across and a dude you’d wanna get a beer with and fish with. Greg Blanchard is a channel you wanna check out , it’s similar to this one. I’m glad i found this channel, i use to use fishing videos to fall asleep , but lately all you hear is “ LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOO LETSSSSS GOOOOOOO” every 4.5 minutes as a dude catches a 3.5lber he calls a 5lber lol
@@andrewwolf4963 Yeah, what's up with every UA-camr shouting, "LET'S GO!" with every catch? That said, I do enjoy some of Jon B's stuff. His production quality is top notch, and he seems like a decent guy. I guess it just seems a bit too much like a show for me though. With Matt, it's like I'm just sitting next to some chill dude who's fishing while tossing out occasional pointers. No frills, no music, just the relaxing sound of water and nature. Tactical Bassin is great too, but I sometimes feel like he's catering to a more hardcore crowd that likes min maxing everything. I get the sense that he's a bit out of touch with casual fisherman. One time, he was like, "I like to keep it simple when pond fishing, so I just bring six rod/reel combos." Like... man, I'm just a dude that likes going out to the local pond or creek for fun.
Fishing here in the Chicagoland area has been tough-and I haven’t been able to get downtown due to everything going on. These past few outings have been tough lol. All small-and all off a dropshot
Matt, thoroughly enjoyed watching those beautiful pike come aboard. I grew up in SW N. Dakota over 70 years ago fishing the Heart and Cannonball rivers where catfish reigned supreme. I left in 84 for MN and now OH. The fishing in ND has developed tremendously so when I see those buttes crop up in the background I know you aren't in MN anymore. I remember when the Heart Butte and Garrison Dams were constructed so you know I'm an old geezer by now with a warm yearning for ND and MN fishing. Thanks for sharing your experiences afloat and God grand you many years paddling the water.
One of my favorite lakes to fish. We got into a mess of white bass last summer out there and caught one every cast for a few hours. Well over 100 fish that night. I've never seen it that calm on that lake though! Great trip, thanks for sharing it with us.
Those white bass are a lot of fun! I was out there in June last summer and I’d see them hitting the surface often. Toss the spook at the commotion and watch it get blasted 4-5 times before I’d connect with one!
BuggyOutdoors I like that also! Other guys just talk way too much for the intro. This guy just gives a few words and then right to the action. So much better
Hey Matt, I thought I had seen you driving around town this week. Looks like I was right! I was just coming back from kayak fishing this lake as well, and I even caught my first smallies of the year! Best of luck to you this year.
Matt: Just a word of thanks. After a LONG weekend on call in the hospital your channel takes me away for a while. In the wee hours of the morning you provide an escape from the realities of life today. Greatly appreciated. Dr. "Bob", The johns Hopkins Hospital.
Matt, love watching your videos. Your ability to catch fish is amazing and you do it with style. You are so fortunate to have all the waters you fish near you. They all look so clean and healthy. Keep up the great work. Already looking foreword to your next video.
congrat's ! what a start ! and with a lot of species, you're lucky Buddy, that's no easy to do the same in France, it's always a pleasure to see your vidéos, thanks'a lot ,take care bro, ! i wait nervously the next episode !
It's interesting for me, as I seem to be far more excited about a new post from NDYakAngler, than any of my other 80+/- channel subscriptions! I too, appreciate his calm voice, enthusiasm for the sport of YAK fishing and what I've learned over the past year of being a viewer. I discovered the Whopper Plopper because of Mr. Rogers and without a doubt, this channel should be SPONSORED by numerous companies within the business. Keep up the great work and thanks for the value you bring to the channel!! From the Swamps of Louisiana...
Now that I've watched this video multiple times, I have to say, I absolutely love how excited you were when you got to hold that first smallie of the year! I love that feeling. It's about as good as it gets.
I was about to say, you better re-tie that line.. I can't believe you got him in.. no leader and he fought for so long. Line all in his mouth. Nicely done man.
With those big pike cruising that bank I would be surprised that there would be anything else within 30 yards of that area. Those two were beast. Great to see people fishing. Sure helps those of us who still can’t. SoSoCal
***Fishing Warriors*** there were 11 humans who typed in “relaxing sounds to fall asleep to” and then realized there is a man fishing, and that’s not what they asked for 😂😂
Only this guy can catch 3 pike one being 40”+ without a leader and not break off the line lol love watching. Always fun, always leave shaking my head in amazement.
great video!! What a day! I want to fish there so bad, I thought it might still be frozen, so I haven’t thought about it, soon I’ll drive there from Fargo. Can’t wait for the MN season opener this weekend! Tight lines man
Very nice. We recently moved too Minnesota , thanks for the videos. Shows me how many excellent places there are for fishin ‘. Keep up the good work, stay safe!
So serene are youre comments on the catches and all your video's without music or weard sounds. I realy can relax watching your vids. You sound like Bob Ross wen he paints....
NICE 👌, I've been watching your videos All 10 months of this deployment, I'm a kayak fisherman myself and I can't wait to get back to the states but whith this whole "pandemic" going on there's no word on going home. definitely learned some new techniques from your videos, I really appreciate your content . Keep at it brother 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
They eat well on that lake! I don’t think I’ve ever caught a 20” there but those 18-19” fish look huge! A lot of the places I fish the smallmouth were introduced or stocked, this lake and the river system it’s part of have a native population and those fish definitely fight harder.
Been watching ur vids for awhile now. Love every one of em. Don't even want to watch another UA-camr kayak fishing, nope. Bought a pair of kayaks just before this COVID19 hit can't wait to get out with my 15 yr old son. It's also great that I've learned about some new lures/baits & how to effectively use em. Please continue!
Great videos show my 90 year old father your videos especially the ones catching northerns. Used to be his favorite way to fish casting for northerns he loved it. Btw I see you’re fish with a St Croix Legend Tournament. My favorite rods.
Enjoy your videos . I do a lot River fishing in my kayak . If you could elaborate more on your bait presentation. Like how you fish it in different circumstances. Keep on making those fishing videos and I will keep watching.
You are a fishing hammer 🔨! Love your videos and have used some of your suggestions for Indiana smallies. Keep up the awesome content always look forward to the next video.
I really appreciate your channel. The language is usually always very clean and your overall character as a sports man is something I feel comfortable letting my 6 year old son watch. Keep making excellent videos.
Matt is the Mr. Rogers of fishing. "Hello neighbor, I hope you had fun coming along with me and catching several trophy sized fish, I know I sure had fun!"
Bob Ross for sure 👍
Glad I’m not the only one that calls him the Mr. Rodgers of fishing. Even my wife likes to watch his fishing videos on a Sunday morning. “He’s so calming”, she says.
Mr. Rogers is an American hero in my opinion. We could use another one.
Impressive how calm you stayed when that pike jumped right in your lap 😳.
I may have jumped in my chair...
@@frodoadventure1 I may have done the same.. :D
Hey man that’s everything about this guy. He’s never suprised. I think he’s a god or something 🤔.
Also if he Freaks out he might flip so he kind of can’t or else ya
Why would you freak out?
By far my favorite fishing channel on UA-cam

Will you adopt me? I have a family of 2 and my truck runs great.
😂😂
Seriously. The number of quality fish he ALWAYS catches is insane lol

Didn’t know you were a fisherman
Blitz no way

@@ndyakangler were is this at
give me just one day of fishing like this, and strike me down immediately after. I’ll die without complaint and like a man.
Loved how you got right into the action
BuggyOutdoors I like that also! Other guys just talk way too much for the intro. This guy just gives a few words and then right to the action. So much better
Hey Matt, I thought I had seen you driving around town this week. Looks like I was right! I was just coming back from kayak fishing this lake as well, and I even caught my first smallies of the year! Best of luck to you this year.
I am from North Dakota as well and was wondering what lake you are fishing on?
I was back out there today, water temp was down a few degrees so the fish weren’t as active but I found a few bass and a bonus muskie willing to bite!
New Sub here. At first, how this started, I thought you were going to Lake Ashtabula...
Matt: "Thank you for being cooperative"
Pike: Jumps into lap
Great vid as always lol
i looked for the comment as soon as I saw that lol
This gentleman is the kinda fisherman i can watch. The real deal :)

im a beginner angler myself and i love watching your videos! you remain incredibly zen and i appreciate that about you
Matt, love watching your videos. Your ability to catch fish is amazing and you do it with style. You are so fortunate to have all the waters you fish near you. They all look so clean and healthy. Keep up the great work. Already looking foreword to your next video.
Hey Matt
I would like to sincerly Thank you. It's just a huge pleasure to come along with you
Cheers from France 🇫🇷
Love throwing that color swimbait in the spring. You just never know what’s going to crush it. Thanks for taking us along, Matt!
I like how confident you are in your knots just throw it back in the water without checking!
3 straight pikes.. bonus walleye and those beatiful smallies... gee you really kickstart my morn!!! 🤣🤣
Another great video. I think the way you present the fish you catch is superb!
congrat's ! what a start ! and with a lot of species, you're lucky Buddy, that's no easy to do the same in France, it's always a pleasure to see your vidéos, thanks'a lot ,take care bro, ! i wait nervously the next episode !
T'as déjà péché dans un endroit avec autant de brochets en France ?
You are a smallmouth magnet...best thing on you tube..just got my 1st kyack..been practicing on a pond. keep on keeping on
Such a joy to watch you fish - so therapeutic! Thanks for taking us along.
Your casting is so accurate! Nice video thanks

Absolutely gorgeous man we’re
Coming back around to this time of year and your videos get me SO amped up for it thanks Matt!
Get myself to the office, settle down on my desk with a cup of coffee, set the mood with one of Matt's video. Great way to start a day!
What an awesome multi species day! Always stoked when I can catch some LMBs, mr. spot AND a few quality panfish
“Well heck yeah!” What a fantastic video showing off a great day - and you had the place all to yourself! Thanks for sharing your day with us 👍
Now that I've watched this video multiple times, I have to say, I absolutely love how excited you were when you got to hold that first smallie of the year! I love that feeling. It's about as good as it gets.
You handled that Pike jumping on to your lap much, much better than I would have.
I was about to say, you better re-tie that line.. I can't believe you got him in.. no leader and he fought for so long. Line all in his mouth. Nicely done man.
This is the best fishing channel. It’s one of those things that makes life worth living.
A great primer for tomorrow’s MN bass and pike opener!
That first fish.. man. He was strong. Impressive.
With those big pike cruising that bank I would be surprised that there would be anything else within 30 yards of that area. Those two were beast. Great to see people fishing. Sure helps those of us who still can’t. SoSoCal
WOW! Looks like a great day of fishing! Some nice fish!
I like the first big Smalley that jumped cuz then you know you got a big one and get excited
Dislikes? Somebody must be jealous...Most relaxing fishing content ever.
***Fishing Warriors*** there were 11 humans who typed in “relaxing sounds to fall asleep to” and then realized there is a man fishing, and that’s not what they asked for 😂😂
That or vegans
Wow. That is a great lake! Great day of fishing. Thanks for sharing dude.
Only this guy can catch 3 pike one being 40”+ without a leader and not break off the line lol love watching. Always fun, always leave shaking my head in amazement.
“Aww man my trophy smallmouth just came off at the boat....oh well I’ll just catch another one next cast!😂 I love it
Enjoy every moment of your fishing during my winter season here in New Hampshire. Best fishing videos on UA-cam by far👍💯
Great vid! Thanks for sharing. That’s more big fish than I’ve caught my whole life 😄👍
LOL....boy that Monster Pike sure wanted in your kayak. That's the first Walleye I recall seeing you catch on your Yak, perfect eating size. AWESOME!
Love you videos man! They make me want to go out on the boat every time. Can’t wait for a full summer of your content
great video!! What a day! I want to fish there so bad, I thought it might still be frozen, so I haven’t thought about it, soon I’ll drive there from Fargo. Can’t wait for the MN season opener this weekend! Tight lines man
Very nice. We recently moved too Minnesota , thanks for the videos. Shows me how many excellent places there are for fishin ‘. Keep up the good work, stay safe!
I just love the sound of the water and the sound of casting the bate and the fish fighting in the water that is so awesome
Matt’s back. Heck yeah! 👋😷
Ndyakangler is the only person on UA-cam I can stand to watch fish. The guy is cool, calm and collected. Keep up the tight lines.
Quality Fishing to say the least! Always entertaining👍🏻🎣
I really appreciate your channel bud. I learn a lot whatching you fish. God bless
Well done, unbelivable how you can realise almost every hit.
Such a pretty spring day - Perfect. Those little swimbaits are multi-species magnets and there's nothing wrong that. Nicely Done.
So serene are youre comments on the catches and all your video's without music or weard sounds. I realy can relax watching your vids. You sound like Bob Ross wen he paints....
Now that was a fine day of fishing!
"Thank you for being cooperative " proceeds to jump right in your lap lol GG man love your channel
NICE 👌, I've been watching your videos All 10 months of this deployment, I'm a kayak fisherman myself and I can't wait to get back to the states but whith this whole "pandemic" going on there's no word on going home. definitely learned some new techniques from your videos, I really appreciate your content . Keep at it brother 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks Jason! Hopefully things get back to normal soon.
Love the way you carried that pike from net to yak. Nice job.
Looks like you had one heck of a time . Nice variety of fish. Stay safe out there Matt.
Great how that big pike just jumped right up into your lap. Nice catch.
Love your content. If there’s a UA-cam fisherman I want daily fishing vlogs from, its you.
Wow what a nice variety looks like a lot of fun I'm glad it's warming up up north
Thanks Matt. Always love your videos.
Love your videos. What a great country we live in
First cast monster! Reminded me of when I hook a big Blue Catfish in my kayak, while bass fishing. Not much I can do but hang on.
That 18 1/4" Smallmouth had a massive frame! Easily looked 20+ what a beast. Great video as always.
They eat well on that lake! I don’t think I’ve ever caught a 20” there but those 18-19” fish look huge! A lot of the places I fish the smallmouth were introduced or stocked, this lake and the river system it’s part of have a native population and those fish definitely fight harder.
Is it me or is this man the Bob Ross of fishing videos? No cursing, always positive about fish size and doesn't even get upset when the fish get off

"This is big whatever it is!" is the reason why we all love fishing!
Edit : typo
Enjoy your videos . I do a lot River fishing in my kayak . If you could elaborate more on your bait presentation. Like how you fish it in different circumstances. Keep on making those fishing videos and I will keep watching.
The first pike, the walleye and the gopro battery switch smallmouth were QUALITY fish
The Mr Rogers of fishing, this guy pulls out monsters and never raises his voice. He is the Perry Como of fishing, smooth as silk.
Love that blue rod.. that has become an icon for you brother..
Your videos are just so calming even with those monster pike😂. Great content keep it up
Gosh I love the sound of Red Wing Blackbirds
The Bob Ross of Bass fishing........well done my friend
Nice Multi species spot! I love catching a variety of fish! Nice job
Gotta love spring time fishing. Never know what your gonna catch and put on camera!
Spanked em once again, another great 👍 👌 day of fishing 🎣
Great day of fishing and then you got to paddle back on a glass lake. Nice!
WOW! Awesome day of fishing.... Great vid as usual, keep them coming !
Great video Matt!
Thank you sir...
you do not dissapoint on these videos. keep it up man
Gotta love those multi species days!
Hard to believe he had that entire lake to himself with that kind of action. Incredible.
Thanks for posting your videos. Can’t wait to get out and catch some myself.
You are a fishing hammer 🔨! Love your videos and have used some of your suggestions for Indiana smallies. Keep up the awesome content always look forward to the next video.
😁👍 Those pikes were awesome!!
What a beautiful day fishing. The big pike already make my day. Have a god fishing and be safe out there.
I really appreciate your channel. The language is usually always very clean and your overall character as a sports man is something I feel comfortable letting my 6 year old son watch. Keep making excellent videos.
I'm a kayak fishing crazy gal from ND too and love watching your fishing trips!
I love watching your vids. It has these calming effects on me. And I’m a gal.
Great vid Matt - never seen a white Bass up close - but they do look a lot like our Australian Bass. Good to see you back on the water
Wow best fishing show I ever seen man!! Great job
Thanks Joey! That was a fun day of fishing!
No way that walleye would have swam away lol. Another great vid, thanks for posting!
Love your videos! Going to buy a 12.8ft kayak tomorrow, been canoeing most of my life,but getting older,& need something more manageable on my own!
Awesome! Always enjoyable to watch. Best on UA-cam.
Your voice with that first monsterpike, i know the feeling! Great vid mate!👍
