DO NOT FALL FOR THE GIVEAWAY SCAM!!! Last week comments on my new video were spam replied by a scammer who stole my channel logo to try to make it look like I was replying. Their channel name was something like TEXT XXX-XXX-XXXX and they responded to comments saying "congratulations you've won a giveaway" in order to get people to text the channel name phone number. From what I understand they then asked for money in order to claim the prize. This is obviously a scam and a popular one going around CZcams right now. Unfortunately at least one of my viewers fell for it, who then proceeded to spam the comments on my videos saying that I ripped him off.
Anybody can download my channel logo and use it as their own. If the logo doesn't have NDYakAngler✔ next to it in the comment section, it's not me. As a CZcamsr I get paid for views. If I was going to do a giveaway for a big ticket item like a kayak I guarantee you'll see a video about it with a click baity title like "Big Giveaway MUST WATCH", instead of creeping around the comment section trying to get you to text a phone number. CZcams's spam filter usually takes care of these scammer comments but this time they let 40+ identical replies slide by. I noticed this week there was a new increase strictness setting so I clicked that and hopefully that will weed them out in the future.
Im honestly surprised that anyone fell for it
Yea I got selected
They were trying to scam me with another fishing youtube channel too..
I get them on other channels. *HOT* *TIP* When anyone sees them click on their name and check their content. If you're regular to a channel like NDYakAngler, you know the content in the playlists. Also go to the about tab and check the date the channel was created.
If they fall for that absolutely their fault lol
Anyone ever tell you that you are like the Bob Ross of CZcams fishing? I mean that in a good way. You catch a BEAST and your all calm and peaceful like, "yeah... that's a good one". Thanks for the videos, I love em!
I was literally thinking the same thing and then looked at comments and yours was first I saw haha.
Every video. It’s practically his unofficial CZcams name at this point.
@@brycealthoff8092 I haven't strolled through the comments much because I usually watch on my tv, but finally was like, you know what, I'm going to say it. lol Glad I'm not the only one. might think I was crazy!
Thats why i love watching him over most the other one on YT. Like u said he is calm cool and all collected and dont start “LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO” and actin like hes never caught a thing in his life. Grown up is i think what u call that lol. Id enjoy a day on the water fishin with him.
Hahahahaha damn. That’s what he always reminded me of!!!! 😂😂😂👌🏻👍🏻
This is why this is my favorite fishing channel. The 1st 5 minutes isn’t watching you get in your vehicle, starting it, stopping for gas, getting snacks, another few minutes of drone footage while explaining your prowess. Just straight into killing it! Thank you for not using filler in order to get video length.
Totally agree. Wish more channels did it like his videos.
AMEN !!! This isn't just the best on the internet.........it's the best....PERIOD !!
When you know how to catch fish you don't need filler....
You forgot to mention every other channels annoying ass “slogan” they have to shout every time “Let’s Go!!!!” Or the crazed shouting and hollering for every 12” bass “ohhhh my Gawd it’s a monster!!!!”
Matt runs such a great channel and is honestly THE best for just great catches and no nonsense.
Keep it up Matt.
@@MC-pk6ee “Let’s go”!! Makes my skin crawl.
it’s crazy he’s so calm about everything he’ll catch a 5 pounder casually and be like “yeah!, that’s a nice fish” and he gets peed on and he was just like “you can do that outside the kayak” 😭😂😂
It's good to hear a fisherman that knows more than me say "we have a late spring this year" - I thought I was losing my mind with how late the spawn seemed to be around here... but DANG it's been cold!
NDYakAngler, the "Mr. Rogers" of the fishing world! Yes, it's a compliment.
I still haven't caught a fish on a whopper plopper and I have 5 of them. I had the craziest catch of my life yesterday in a 15 acre pond. I had a nose hooked fluke chilling about 3-4 feet off the boat (2 bench modified metal) as the trolling motor was banging in to a 8 foot collection of branches and mud was kicking up. I was trying to reverse out and in the middle of the last two knocks and a little branch breaking I got smoked by a 3 lb largemouth. So it is possible to be banging in to trees, kicking mud and breaking a branch and catch a fish 3-4 feet away. I had one lie in that story and in true fisherman style, it was adding 1lb to the bass.
I know everyone says it, but man i love your channel for not haveing stupid long an loud intros! Just "heres my combo, heres my bait, fish on."
You have the "Bob Ross" voice of fishermen. Great videos every time. All your videos feature great casts!
Well, Im about to have fun. Havent fished for a very long time. Going this week. Trouble is, I'm using something I've never ever used. A baitcasting outfit.
Good luck, I gave up trying to use a bait caster 🤣🤣🤣
Good luck out there! Try a Gold #5 dressed aglia!
Start with a heavy setup for pike, quite easy to learn that way.
I just started using baitcasters this year..I’ve been happy so far, it’s definitely easier to get heavy action casting rods vs spinning rods
Also definitely check out some CZcams videos on how to use them, it definitely helped me
Man it’s hard to beat whopper plopped fishing. I almost never go out without a 110 perch color tied on. I throw it on a 7’6” crank bait rod with 40lbs braid and it casts a mile!
Those were all nice fish. Great to see you back out on the water.
After watching your channel all winter, you inspired me to purchase my 1st kayak this spring. Thanks for the vids for all us suckers working today! Tight lines!
Your like the Bob Ross of fishing.....I love it 🍺🤘🧀
All it took was one of your videos to get me off my ass and go fishing, caught a 2 pound smallie right on the bank in the first 30 mins. This is the best fishing CZcams channel out there hands down, super chill, you are a smallmouth killer boss.
“Mean ol mr.pike “
😂😂
Another fantastic, relaxing, fishing video. You haven't put out a single video that I haven't enjoyed yet. Just nice, calm, fishing videos in some very scenic, and serene environments. Thanks for taking us along on the water!
Amen.
This exact Whopper Plopper is my most successful Top Water Lure.
i had noticed it before but it really stood out to me in this video and thats how well mics pic up the sound of the whopper plopper even a long distance cast and you can still hear it as soon as it starts moving i guess thats part of why they work so well nice to see you making videos for the season cant wait to start hitting it myself great video
Whopper ploppers are loud lol. I've turned heads of fisherman over 100 feet away
Thanks for the warning, glad you’re still filmimg🙏🏼❣️
Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Be well and God bless.
that bait gets so much movement!!
Love all your videos! Wife's from ND so there's some sentimental value too. Thanks for showing the knots you use to go from braid to fluoro to whopper plopper. Definitely going to do that.
Those Pike are a beautiful fish!!! Great video buddy thanks for all the entertainment.......
Hey bro I love it when you top water fishing see the water blow up here here what a blasher it is to see thank you have 😊
Enjoyable to watch. Really like your overall reactions each time you catch your fish 😊
You sir are the Bob Ross of fishing. Calming and a pro fisherman. Thank you for the content.
Yeah. He's back. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I went plopper fishing the past 2 days, and they were SMASHING it. I caught 12-15 bass and pike the 1 day and like 7 the next. Top water is my favorite.
I just shared this video with about 20 of my friends! I shared this video with a bunch of people! I look forward to going along!
Love watching your videos.
Thank you for sharing them.
Great video Sir! I love the top water lures myself. Favorite way of fishing for me. You content in your videos are no less than amazing. By far my favorite fishing channel. Look forward to your vids in the future. Cheers!
Love the videos where you catch multiple species and on a whopper plopper makes it even better!
Great day on the water Matt and a fine video. Nope nothing wrong with that pike that nicked a gill. Finished up a great 5 day staycation and fished my favorite 3. Big river smallies and we had 3 of 18 inches or better landed by 830am. Then pond largemouth bass fighting the wind but catching them on everything we threw, then creek smallies and rock bass. A little stained water but they were done spawning. Good to keep them over the side so they don't fertilize your boat or Yak. LOL. Thanks for taking us along brother
I love watching you fish for bass and pike its so cool to watch them hit that topwater
Thanks Matt, another great video. Headed out on my kayak this week to catch largemouth. Love those whopper Ploppers.
I watch white pelicans, elegant tern, and of course the great fisherman mr. osprey … nature is music and your appreciation of it isn’t lost on me. Great shirt btw🙏🏼❣️🎣
Yours are the most relaxing videos. Thank you.
Great video as always, thanks for sharing!!! Got me all pumped to go whopper plopping Monday for pike 💪🎣
Great vid as always. As much as like watching you catch fish I love catching them on topwater even more lol. Those pike just annihilated that whopper plopper. 👊👍
Best yak fishing channel hands down.
Keep the great content rolling brother.
Whoppin and Ploppin some nice bass! Awsome fish man! Tight lines!
I caught a 4 pound smallmouth on the exact whopper plopper in Mn I wish I had a kayak being on a boat seems so beautiful in the evening sun set wow Mn is such a awesome place
Great to have you back in my living room, first watch of the season.
Had my kayak out last night. Landed a few largemouths around 14”, and one tank that was about a 1/4” shy of 18”. Not a bad day! Heading out today to look for pike.
Love it! Pike fishing is one of my favorite things to do. They can put up a serious fight, especially when the water warms a bit.
I’m hoping to catch some big ones on topwater over the next month! Last year June was some of the best pike/muskie action of the year.
Fell off my iSUP yesterday and had to do a open water remount. First time. Have to say having all your gear safely secured to the craft and as few bits and pieces laying around makes for a safe maneuver, always wear your PFD kids
...and there I was just admiring that landing keeping the fishes head above water into the net and then bam! all the good work undone.
Yeah they don’t always cooperate as much as I’d like lol
wish I had someone like that to teach me earlier, but at 43 this is gold!
The choppo absolutely slays like the whopper ploppers too
You’re the best dude! No nonsense just bigs!
great fishing , i hurt my wrist cant fish like idid in the past, so thank you for sharing
The plopper makes such a satisfying sound.
You sure had a Great day in the water pal. Had my first open water outing last week and had a blast as well. Tight lines!
Such a pleasure to support this channel!
Thanks for that explanation on tying the fluorocarbon in the right order, made my life way easier
It’s always good to revive de pike do you catch until it swim of al alone.And great video congratulations!!
I love the sound the plopped make.
Wasn't able to get out in my yak this morning so thanks for a new video to go with my coffee. Love how you get to fish with no one else around
Thanks for the fun fishing trip!
Fuxkin legend!!! Just wanna go fishing right now!!! Love those pike edits!!! Thank you! Much love from France!
Nice fish especially being caught on top water way to go 👍
Nice largemouth!!!!!! 😃😃
Love your videos! Keep ‘em coming 😎 fellow Minnesotan guy here!
Congrats for your clips, are amazing! I started watching your channel a few month ago and every time it's relaxing. Regards from Romania! Keep fishing!
I have that exact same net (and same kayak btw), so I can totally relate what it’s like to have a pike and a lure with treble hooks thrashing and twisting around in there! Sometimes takes 20 min just to get untangled.
that whopper plopper in that color and size is my favorite top water to use love it and it catches tons of fish!
Hell Ya, these are by far my favorite videos! The strikes you get are insane! Even the little ones just kill it! Here in New England they don't really fight til they see you! Then they explode with power! Especially the big girls!! Keep up the good work, man!
I wonder if that’s a thing ….fish in different areas fighting more or less based on area ….huh
Today I went out fishing for the first time in a kayak, and my first time using a whopper plopper. I want to thank you for inspiring me to try this type of fishing! Caught 4 smallies my first time out, and loved every minute of it.
That’s awesome! It’s a blast catching smallies on topwater! They spawned really late here this year and we’ve had high muddy water on the river but I’m going to head out there next week and see if I can find a few fish.
That salad pike rocked your world. 🤙 good action
I've been waiting for you to start to post again, best guy out there doing this!!
Thanks again
Just ordered the plopper. Can't wait to get out and use it.
ASMR fishing at its finest. It feels/sounds like I’m right there with you.
Aaaaaaand he delivered! I'm like a kid waking up to Saturday morning cartoons.
Life is good.
Nice heading to my favorite spot I grew up at going fishing won’t be home til Tuesday love ur vids👍
Always love the videos. Also double pumped because I just bought my own tarpon haha what a great kayak.
Another awesome video Matt, as usual.
Those close attacks by your kayak scare the crap out of me sitting in my chair watching!
I love this channel! No better way to spend my lunch break at Academy Sports and Outdoors!
thanks for all info.nice hunt.
Great video Matt really enjoyed it as usual!
One of the best fishing videos I have ever seen!!!
Easily my favourite CZcamsr, so relaxing to watch and man do you ever slay fish!!
Well done. Thank you. I appreciate your work.
Last week I couldn't get a hit on the top water Whopper Plopper. Today the sun came out and I landed 15 Largemouth on the 75. Pond fishing in the subdivisions. One 3 pounder, I just love that topwater smash!
We whould like 2 see you catch a fish and cook it lol😂😂😂😂
Awesome Top Water session.
Just ordered a plopper through your link. Good to see you back!
Thanks for the show!
Your videos certainly has flung a craving on me to get a kayak! Lol! New follower here. Me and my brothers grew up fishing. The one place we lived had 3 ponds. Now that we’re grown and have families of our own, we’re passing on that desire for the outdoors. Especially fishing. One of my nephews hauled in a 4lb crappie some time ago. (They found out later that the Virginia state record at the time for a crappie caught in a private pond was 4lbs 8oz) Keep the videos coming!! I enjoy them all!
Welcome back!!
NDYak you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
love your videos as usual! caught a few crappie last week, few small pike. its going to be a great season
loses a pike ,not having it, gets a bass and another pike. classic!!
AAAH YES, some plopper action.....finally!
Nothing beats topwater!!!
Great vid.
Love the pike action..
I love my whopper ploppers. 75 and 90,but I only use single hooks. Easy on the net and less damage to fish.
I tried swapping single siwash hooks on a spook a few years back. Maybe I just had bad luck that day but three out of the first half dozen fish I caught took one of those single hooks to the eye. That’s something that I normally see maybe once or twice all year fishing trebles so after the third I tied back on a regular spook and didn’t mangle any more fish that day. Like I said maybe it was just bad luck that trip, I’ll have to give it a try again some time.
I got me a pool thermometer with a floating octopus on top that looks like Hank! I keep it in my bag with “Hank” sticking out 🤪
That reel is one of my faves.
Howdy man! Nice video with the whopper plopper, i fish with that also and it’s allways a trill when a big bass or pike grabs that lure! I bought the Daiwa Zillion too and what a nice reel it is, very smooth and i like the clicker on it, bought for this year the Lews mach 2 speedspool also and its also very smooth!! Our closed season is over since last Saturday so we can fish on pike etc, thanks for uploading this vid, I’m allways learning from your video’s mate 👍👍👍
