Every time I watch this guy's channel I picture Bob Ross spending the afterlife fishing in one of his paintings...relaxing, beautiful scenery, top notch all the way around, refreshingly different, in the best kind of way! This helped me get through a pretty ruff day..thanks.. Keep em comin & I'll keep watchin.. my hats off to you sir!..tight lines..👍
I’ve been watching your channel for a long time, every time I see one of your videos I put down everything. Keep doing what you do!
Easily the best fishing channel out there.
Agreed 👍
Hopefully you're not a surgeon!
Amen
Check out fisherMN. Another great fishing channel with quality content. Prob has like 300 vids. Give him a sub if you like it.
Within seconds I had the intuition which lake you were on. Then your description and some further views confirmed it for me. I used to fish there over 30 years ago and I often heard that there were LMB in the bays. I think we only caught one once. What a beautiful lake. Thanks for the memories.
Imo it's the most beautiful lake in MN! It's been about the same amount of time since I've been on it also. We caught very nice LM but I don't remember catching many smallies. If I ever win the lottery..... I'm building on it 😂
It sure is a pretty lake, Minnesota has some amazing lakes. Not sure where this is.
Care to share which lake (of the many in MN) this may be? I love this channel and bass fishing in general, but it would be nice every now and then if we knew where he was at. It is gorgeous.
It was a fun lake! I’ll have to go back in September when the topwater bite is really happening.
Sadly that’s a sure fire way to get a lake overfished. I’ve seen it happen locally. Went from good to horrible in about a month. Still recovering ten years later with fish a pound less on average.
Wow this lake is beautiful. Crystal clear water and awesome bass
Yup I'm hitting the lake this afternoon, our rivers have been flowing to heavy for at least a month now. Awesome lake there!! Smallmouth and largemouth, don't see thst often. Great video👍
St Croix needs to sponsor you as well. I bought their rods because you use them and they are a bang for the buck. Just well crafted and all business.
Best fishing channel on CZcams... HANDS DOWN. IM dealing with some health issues and in and out of the hospital.t's nice to sit back, relax, watch some awesome fishing, and it keeps my mind off of things for 20 minutes at a time. THANK YOU
What an absolutely GORGEOUS lake! Love to see you get after those trout, they would be a great early spring/ice-out fish when they’re still shallow, they’ll cruise along the edges of shelf ice looking for insects and forage- go get ‘em!
That was great fishing,Wich lake were you fishing Sir if you don't mind me asking please?
yesss id love to know the lake name!
Matt, thank you so much for taking us along on a wonderful, scenic and peaceful lake for some top water excitement, that produced some really nice smallies and largemouth!!! Take care and be safe, anxiously awaiting your next video!
What a great way to start my Sunday morning. Another awesome video!
Great content as always! I love how there is no sponsorships, ads, nonsense, etc. it’s what makes your videos so special.
I don't think I would enjoy the winters up there, but the fishing up your way is some of the best. Lots of lakes and rivers and they seem to all be full of fish. THAT I'm envious of.
Agreed. I'm a Florida man. I equate his winters to climbing near the top of Mount Everest.
Right man, all the lakes/ponds by me are so high pressured its so hard to catch big boys. Id love to go to ND and fish
Yup winters suck here. Can be brutal. But we're blessed with so many waterways full of fish!!
Savage Gear needs to sponsor this man. Every time he posts a 3D Snake lure video I end up buying another one 😆
I want one but they are always out of stock on bass pro, at least in the colors I want lol
The fishing, as always, is top notch. But the boat wake footage was so fun! It was like I was in the kayak! Great job!
Loading up the trailer this morning to head out fishing. Looks like a decent day for some middle MN lakes.
Nice lake! Enjoyed hearing the Loons in the background. 👍
That lure has some great action! No wonder the bass can't leave it alone. Thanks for the video! I always enjoy watching!
I love seein all these nice smallies! Another great vid of catchin em! Minnesota sure is a beautiful state with some amazing fisheries!
Beautiful lake. First video where I actually saw another boat on the water!
I have that same lure in black. So realistic! 👌🎣 Loving the videos! 👍😁
Wish we had more lakes like that around here. We used to have a few, but they've become race tracks for jet skis and high horsepower speed boats.
Sweet bass brother! Even caught some bonus largies. Really like seeing the top water catches gets me every time. Thanks as well for posting, the view at the places you fish is awesome! 👍🎣🌳🌊
Matt, I would love nothing more than to see you do a trout video! Fingers crossed!
Same!! I'd love to see that
Recent subscriber to the channel, and newly interested in yak fishing. Your videos are excellent. As many have said, keep doing what you are doing. These are enjoyable / calm / natural vids that appeal to what many got into fishing in the first place for.
Matt is one of the reasons I started fishing again.
Always blown away at the beauty of these fisheries you have access to. Sheesh.
The hits came as you paralleled the shore with long casts-when you went deep and threw at the shore the hits stopped. Later on, you started doing the same thing-that's when the hits began again. The most active fish were shallow, chasing/looking for baitfish, and paying less attention to you [jmo]. Great video. God bless.
[edit]: What a beautiful lake-I hope you go back again e.g., fall monster bass and/or ice fishing walleyes/trout.
That's just what I thought: the bite would be better in shallow water which turned out to be right.
I've been watching your videos for some time now and absolutely love the content. You have such a mellow vibe, kinda the "Bob Ross" of fishing.
My thoughts exactly!
The Bob Ross comparison has gotten old.
Just came back from a bag, and my PB from my kayak. Thanks Matt for making this seem easy!
I just went out with no expectation and some relaxation, dropped a worm to a couple small males and she was hungry! Wow so fun!!!!
I’m hoping you will make a 1 to 2 hour video!
Mesmerizing fishing.
Thank you
Best video yet!! ❤ Picture perfect scenery, almost crystal clear water, and FISHES!!! Thanks for doing what you do 😊
Thanks for taking me along! The large mouth were a surprise bonus! All of the bass were healthy looking 👀. Another great day of fishing. You are the best!
It’s like watching Mr. Rogers… with a freakin fishin’ pole!!!
Awesome!
Beautiful day peaceful lake - a handful of fish obliging you. Thanks a lot, really enhoyed this.
I learn a lot every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you and keep up the great work
what lake is this? water is nice and clear
Best Fisherman I've seen on CZcams. I always enjoy watching your videos Thanks
I loved hearing the loons - brings back wonderful memories.
thanks for calming me down after work ... what a gorgeous lake to fish in.
What a lovely, calm video! Thank you!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I will have to try that snake lure out for sure.
Beautiful lake, those fish look fat and happy. Sunday morning coffee and a new vid drop,SWEET! Rock on!
Go out on my own great fishing session, and come home to a new NDYak video. Life is good 😊
So fun to watch, well done. Top water is always a blast and wow … a snake!
After eons of Eagles and Ospreys eating fish in clear water with mid day sunshine lighting them up, the fish have instinctually learned to stay deep. They hit top water in the early morning and late evening when they are not as vulnerable. The whacky worm or drop shot is the way to go in the bright middle of the day. Matt is always teaching me something I might have known, but it isn't in the front of my mind when I hit the water. Thanks again to the master fisherman.
I caught my first smallie this weekend. I see why you love catching them so much!
Beautiful lake and beautiful fish!
Another quality video. Thank you!
Love the action of that snake lure! It's no wonder why the bass just hammered that thing.
What a beautiful lake! And those marvellous fights in that clear water, too! Awesome…I was puzzled when at first you didn’t mention largemouth among the species in that water. It seemed somewhat odd to me…but there they were!
Also It would have been great to see some beautiful walleye or trout (American lake trout of the char family?) caught in that gorgeous scenery. Over here in Europe zander ( very similar to walleye) also prefer low light conditions. Also zander is a delicious fish.
Encouraged by your videos I have purchased all the famous lures that you use, especially those by Savage Gear and this snake will be no exception. I can’t wait to get one! Its action is wonderful.
Hands down my favorite fishing channel.keep it up brother
I think it might be 3 summers since I asked you about trout fishing, and you said that you would consider it the following summer. I still live in hope that some fine day you will give it a go.
It's not that hard a fish to catch unless you go for artificial flies. My best day as a 14 year old was 36 trout and 4 Chub on wholemeal bread, using a size 6, 7 or 8 hook.
Loved seeing the super clear water & hear the loons in the background while you caught some fish...
Good times Up North!
Always a pleasure , you are my inspiration on my river for topwater. I love it . I hooked six yesterday from one spot about twenty yards long , then nothing all day. Rebel popn minnow
I really enjoy watching you... thank you.
That’s a fun lure to fish. Love that topwater action!
Hey Matt! Thanks for uploading 😊
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us. First time I saw a motorized boat on your channel.
Nice size fish best episode I've watched so far
What an awesome lake! Been a while since I've seen a piece of water like that, or heard a Loon. Thanx for sharing!!
What a beautiful place to fish. Love that snake lure. That first small mouth hit it hard. Damn. That second largemouth wow.
Great way to start the morning!
Great video mat as always
impressive work. Love the channel from out here in Montana
That rod is a damn workhorse
Love what you produce, keep the content coming!
Hey I don’t know if anyone has ever said this but you’re like the Bob Ross of fishing videos.
What are those birds I hear on the lake......sounds so peaceful. The snake made the diff in this one no doubt. I didnt even know snakes were on the menu in MN lol.............nice job👍
There’s some loons at some points during the video
Awesome new video, Matt!
Yeah great day indeed n the Loons calling in the distance was an extra bonus!!! Beautiful lake!
That lake looks like a dream location
I’m going to have to go back there in September when the topwater bite is really on!
@@ndyakangler whats the lake name if you don't mind me asking?
Beautiful fish. Great job!
I keep hoping to run into you on one of these MN lakes sometime! Great video, thanks for sharing!
The first catch brought the whole school with him! I love it when that happens!
Usually it’s time to grab the wacky worm and pick off the rest of the school but once they saw me in that clear water they knew what I was trying to do.
@@ndyakangler that same thing happens to me on Lake St Clair frequently too
That lake looks sick
Loved hearing the Loons followed by Crows. Awesome Video as always good Sir!
I've got the black 8" snake. It is an insane lure. I like that it has two line ties. One allows the snake to dive a bit.
I just made a snake lure recently and it is really cool to see that bass actually eat them. Thanks for the great vid Matt!
Hey buddy, new to fishing from this summer. I've discovered you a few weeks back. I like how calm voice is. You go into details. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks brother, keep e'm coming!
thanks for your awesome content😁
You fish in some beautiful places - another great video.
You should talk like Cobra Commander when you fish with that lure.
hail to the king of fishing on youtube :)
that's a gorgeous lake, water seems so clear there!!!
Dude, you’re a legend!
i like how you explained what lure and why you chose it because it seems like you always know exactly what to throw and I wonder how
Finally, a couple of fish classified as "Tanks." Very few of them this year. Got to tease you a little as your videos are so much fun and make me home sick for Minnesota.
I’ve said it before imo it’s the best channel on CZcams. Thanks for the takin us along
Another awesome video well done
Super video sir. Caught one of my biggest on a snake lure💥🎣
Thanks for the validation on the fish knowing what you're up to lol. I tell some of my non fishing buddies that and they look at me crooked like "it's just a dumb fish"....yea...they want you to THINK that! lol Good vid, I'll take them Largies all day too! Tight lines bud!
I love the snake lure videos
Trout love the Mepps inline spinners, flies, small spoons, Little Cleos, they're also good to catch on minnows and corn and nightcrawlers and corn.
The bob ross of the fishing community, keep it up man! Lol
Those are some healthy looking fish.
Thanks for all the videos your paddling is like an armrest 🤗
You’re the Best Matt❣️🙏🏼
Watching this assures me,..... I should have bought one last year!!!! These snake baits are definitely worth the money!!! Fixing to order one right now
Gorgeous lake! I'd love to build a cabin along the lake side. Absolutely gorgeous.
That was a nice day!
Man you’re making me want to try the snake lure Lol!
