The fact that this channel is still free of music, screaming, nauseating brand promotion... just a man and his Kayak. Cheers brother. You're a cut above the rest.
I like my goons fishing a fair bit, but a quiet fishing session is refreshing. Wished NDYak did fly fishing though
WHO TF ARE YALL TALKING ABOUT OMG THIS COMMENTS ON EVERY VIDEOOO!!!!!
@Greatest Ever because it's true? Lol
@@GIRTHYANDITCURVES I'm talking about 80% of big fishing channels where half the video is affiliate marketing lol.
@The Buffalo Jet Fan you don't have to defend your comment, if you watch Matt you understand
This channel is perfect, please never change.
I totally agree. No change please.
It's been said before but best fishing channel on CZcams. No pushing cheap products, stupid challenges, or collaborations that don't make sense...just you, nature,and hopefully some fish each video!
Best fishing channel there is on YT. Hands down. Keep up the great work Matt!
hell yeah 100 %
Without ANY DOUBT. No gimmicks, just serenity.
I’m always impressed how clean your gear is 😂. After a day on the red for me I’ve got mud caked on my stuff for weeks haha!
It’s much easier to keep clean in the kayak, but even that usually needs a trip to Whale of a Wash after a day on the Red.
Being able to catch 2 huge channel cats at the same time. Using the same net. In a kayak…. Next level stuff right there!
the narrator has such a soothing calm voice... this is how you make a youtube video. No stupid over music and intros that take up half the video and sponsor breaks and stupid cut scenes. Much respect.
Always a good day when NDyakanger posts!
We're on our way up. We come up every spring for the pre-spawn. Phenomenal fishery!!!
😂 at least you saw you were missing the paddle before launching. Once I was so excited to get out of work and hit the lake I launched my canoe and since the wind was blowing me where i needed to go I decided to drift while rigging my poles. Once i finished rigging I went to grab a paddle and nope, not there. I looked back at the boat launch and there they were leaning up against my car. I had to quickly tie on a Big-O and cast it into the bushes on shore and reel myself back in.
Been following you since I believe Covid started and haven’t stopped since. You are a big part of the reason I got back into fishing again. Even bought a small 12’ Grumman and refurbished it. Best investment I have made and been fishing ever since. Love your channel brother. It’s like being there and almost as enjoyable. Almost.😊
@@Only-Memories-In-The-End I put a little more money into it than I should have but made her my own being my first boat. But I am happy and get a lot of compliments about her so, all in all, not disappointed. Had some really good fishing with her and plan on a lot more.
Сan,t Stop watching you after your video couple Year Ago when Crazy Pike wos jump on Duck Lure 🦆🔥🔥🔥🐊
I had some crazy action with a bird lure at that same spot a few days ago!
@@ndyakangler Will happy to see it 😏🔥🐊
You, sir, are awesome. From a lifelong MN fisherman, I have to say you do it all right. Super duper excited to see what this season brings you. Thanks for sharing the fun with us.
Two cats with one stone so-to-speak. Incredible!! Love this channel (cat)!.
That's amazing, Matt. Two fish in one net must be a great feeling!
I remember fishing with my dad as a little kid with a Superman pole and catching giant channel cat on the Superman pole my dad was amazed
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing the action in such a serene, mature way.
Never a dull moment! 2 fishes, 1 net. Awesome footage, thx.
Dang I just love this channel, no over the top nonsense. Just pure enjoyable time outdoors

Wow. When I was a kid (60 years ago) we rarely saw catfish over 4 pounds, and we fished all day. Now the Red produces big cats like crazy. I wonder if we simply were unlucky as kids, or if something truly happened in the fishery to produce these monsters. One thing that might be a clue is that we seldom caught goldeyes back then; however, we did catch a lot of carp. One more thing: that is very good fishing, IMO, considering the river is high.
I had similar experience growing up and fishing the Red. I more looked for a good spot on the bank to fish from rather than finding some good fish structure to target, and always used either crawlers or some type of dough bait. I think cut bait makes a big difference. It’s easier to keep the little fish from nibbling the bait away before the big fish gets it.
@@ndyakangler Thanks for your quick reply, Matt. On a lighter note: we used to cut-up carp for catfish bait. We caught our carp at a site where they gathered as thick as flies. We would throw cherry-bombs and silver-salutes into the throng and waited for the results. Then we waded a foot or two into the Red and gathered our future cut-bait. I think the statute of limitations has run out on that crime.
@@ronaldkulas5748 😂 usually whatever works best isn’t allowed haha.
@@ndyakangler BTW: I forgot to comment that I agree with your point that as kids we fished at the easiest, "good spot", not the spot that we now know was much better. That might explain why all our catfish were 2 to 4 pounders.
Thanks. Well done.
You are the bob ross of fishing, you are likeable and respectful. You are calm even in stressful situations, keep up the good content.
One of the best rivers in America to catch these great fish
If there was a contest and I got to choose between a new car and a weekend fishing with Matt, hands down I'd be on my way with my rod!
I watch only a few fisherman, always look for yours...👍
Beautiful and thanks for releasing the poor hungry rascals
Best way to start the weekend, right here!!!
3 big cats! They were all healthy looking 👀. Glad to see new videos coming out. Thank You.
Man yeh...dead-stickin' for cats in the mud! A favorite method on the Little Kanawha and Ohio Rivers here. Great content AGAIN Matt! So well edited and curated and STILL included the forgotten paddle and tangled lines...so relatable and still amazing...TWO IN THE NET AT ONCE DUDE! EPIC! Almost as good as the two on the same lure.
Only Matt gets two in the net! Let's get him a million subscribers! He deserves it. Best fishing channel on CZcams.
A marvellous fishing day with the channel cats. Two of them at a time in the net and afterwards a third one. All of them good sized. The spring day and the American Red River of the North are so beautiful. A remarkable and smart description of the equipment by our good friend Matt…Those detailed descriptions are one the main assets of this CZcams channel to me. I find them quite interesting and useful. I really appreciate them.
I enjoyed the video a lot, as always. I wish I had caught only just one of those three little pigs in my last fishing trip on my Easter vacation. No channel cat took my nice chunks of mackerel in a Spanish reservoir (La Serena reservoir) that six years ago had been a paradise on them. Surely the extremely low level was a factor. Thanks to this video I “fished “ vicariously this species that was illegally stocked in my country.
I hate fishing out of a kayak but i like watching it
Thanks Matt, I enjoyed every moment of river fishing for big cats! Keep up the great content!
I really like your Catfish video's i hope you make more of them
Thanks Matt for another great video. You are fishing right by my hometown.
Two fish in the net! Wow!
Perfect uploading time!🎉
I know there's lots of Southern Boys just droolin' at the thought of a good ole Southern Catfish Fry gone to waste with those three big Channel Cats caught & released...still, I'm glad you let em go...nice fishin' 😊
Love this channel just got a kayak and excited to get out on it. It’s great you fish multi species and don’t over complicate things with all sorts of lures and gear and crazy info. Catching fish isn’t rocket science.
Wow, nice film and fishes. 👍🏻
That cat on the thumbnail looks like it’s in great shape! Not torn up and rough looking. Most our kitties in wny get real rough looking.
It’s pre spawn here still. Once they start spawning they get a little beat up looking from rubbing against debris they build their nest along.
@@ndyakangler all our cats up here regardless of time look rough and beat up.
Make a video going over the set up! Looks simple, love it
Well I see what I'm doing wrong,I have to talk in a calm voice instead of cussing the fish lol,and I gotta fish where there's fish😂,I have been using everything even cut bait and absolutely nothing but turtles,awesome video man really like them
Best fishing content on youtube
No doubt! I love your channel! No politics or rainbow colored kayak or lures. Thank you for not making me stop watching you. We all need a place were we can escape all the noise. Let's go fishing. Please stay as you are. I don't need to hear anything but how to fish and watch teach THAT ONLY.
Thanks for the fishing trip Matt-God bless.
Respect from the UK 🇬🇧. From what I’ve seen so far from your videos your there for the sport and put the fish back and not like other videos where they have to kill, I have now subscribed
I am ready to see some crazy top water bites
What a professional angler and youtuber!
I love those triumph rods. Best budget rods on the market in my opinion. $100 or less, you can’t beat them. 🤙
WOW two at once! What a Professional! Love your show.
I have the Rock River (WI) near me. Not much for game fish but it's GREAT for channel cats! I've launched my Old Town many different places and almost always catch fish. Most times I have the river all to myself.
My way to fish! Great video! Keep them coming.
This is so wholesome, keep doing you man ! Inspiring me to pick the rod back up !
Didn't know i needed friday fishing but here it is and i'n enjoying every bit of it...🍻
In Manitoba or North Dakota, the Red River is a beast for big cats. Love the channel bro!
Here in fla there's some big ones last night caught 5 small on spam then guy gave me live bait few hours nothing still scored though
Catfish are my favorite fight. Them headshakes
Was walleye fishing Saginaw Bay when this dropped.
Now eating walleye for lunch while watching another great video👍
Sounds like a great day!
@@ndyakangler always great when the wind is good. Fortunate enough to live only 20 minutes away.
The Bob Ross of the 🎣 fishin 🌎
love your videos man, calm and collective fishing and birds chirping and drag screaming love it
Nice! I need to get back over that way sometime this summer to try to catch some big cats.
Circle hooks, give ‘em a bit of drag, and you’ll lose less fish. Love the videos
I always love watching your channel. You're honest about the things you do and the amount of time it takes you, and don't make things seem easy all the time like the other fisher dudes try to do. Thank you for always being honest, and for making great content out of what you love to do ❤
Thanks for these videos. Now I can go fishing without the bugs and bother.
That is the BEST seat in the house!
The first time you lip a big cat is educational., hahaha. Made me drop it when it clamped down.
Yeah you get those 10lb+ cats that chomp down and try to roll and sometimes I think they’re gonna dislocate my thumb!
Can’t complain about those results
He makes me want to fish with all those lures more than any other channels make me want to use their sponsors.
Lol my and my 10 year old love your videos and you almost sound like Bob Ross when your explaining about the catfish chewing on your bait and your waiting on them to run with ur bait
Small advice ~ punch that hook through the belly bone of those baits will leave more hook exposed. If you hit the layered scales you’ll know and it won’t come off as easy…it’s like hooking through bone almost!
Handled that double up like a pro WOW
Love watching you catch and release!
Sweet double hook up
"By the look of it, it might be feeding time." I laughed hard because my brain automatically went to a spy movie where poo was about to get nuts🤣🤣
Ever tried the Balloon rig for cats I just tried it for the first time I saw it on kayak catfish and it worked:)
I’ll have to check it out!
Nice fishing trip hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I feel like I’ve already watched this video eight times before on your channel.
There’s not a whole lot of variety to cat fishing I guess, other than maybe trying some weird baits. I was thinking about getting a water wolf camera to try to get the fish eating on film but this river is so muddy it’s not even worth trying.
Stellar cats Sir!! Keep up the awesome content 🤙🎣
Always look forward to you dropping a new upload. Keep it the great work 🤙🎣
so calm. love your videos
The Red produces some nice Cats.
Thanks for the great video Matt!!!
Those are good looking fish
The very first image of the grassy field made me think.... WOOD TICKS.... lmao
Just made it out ...in wisconsin...got me 12
...8 norts and 4 bass....good times fish on bud
I wish the wind would let up here and let me get out! I had a decent day of pike fishing last week but it’s been non stop windy every day since.
@@ndyakangler heard that...suppose to be great here for memorial day wkend ....its gonna be awesome...good luck wait I watch your vids you don't need luck.. lol 😆 🤣
I gotta go fishing their! Jesus those are some good sized kitty fishes 😅
Absolutely love this channel, I am enjoying every video you upload and I can't wait for the next one!
Give circle hooks a try. They really cut down on the swings-and-misses. I used them religiously on the Red for cats. You might not get as big of a satisfaction from setting the hook, but seeing a rod double over and a sumo hook itself is pretty entertaining, regardless.
How cool two in the net🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video, great channel!👍
I love your channel!! Some commenter called you the Bob Ross of fishing and I think that is accurate haha!!
Good job, Matt!
And lo, he did speak with the mouth of a catfish. And with it, he said "mwehhh"
great video as always
Love the videos man ... me and the family have been out a few times already on the red and done well but this weekend should be on fire ... my boys finally got to reel in some and loved it ... keep them coming and maybe ill see ya on the river
Fun sizer fish! Thanks for the video man, greetings from Germany 👍
Mint soaps will help combat the bugs hope it helps you in the future love the channel!
ASMR meets fishing. The relaxation is here for whosoever will.
I know a sweet spot for some big catfish down by the 52nd ave boat launch.
I used to fish around there quite a bit before got my kayak!
Another great video Matt! Got some channel cat in the fridge right now that my son and a buddy of his caught; about a 30 pounder; split the meat. Going out fishing on lake Wawasee here in northern Indiana this morning. Have a blessed weekend!!
I'm going to have to start keeping some of the smaller ones when I find them. We picked up a Blackstone griddle last night that should be perfect for making some cajun blackened catfish!
@@ndyakangler absolutely!! 🙂
I now own four kayak paddles, one for every time I forgot mine.
