In 70-some years of fishing the St Lawrence I've never caught a musky, and here I watch you just stack them up one after another! Thanks again for another great video, Matt! I really look forward to your weekly updates. I'm now 82, and unable to get out very often, so your adventures keep me going. Bless you my friend, and happy fishing!
This melts my heart! I think ima start a fishing business to help older folks and or disabled people fish!
@@PiVoTFloWactually great idea man, yours for that cater towards the older and disabled crowd
@@Realllllll_badmann yes I’d do all types too, discounts for vets , I wanna be that change
@@PiVoTFloWthat’s a great idea, hope it can all come together someday! We need that these days
@@midwestbassing4137 it’s not a easy task at hand but with hard work anything is possible! Hopefully I can bring these dreams to life one day! It’d be life changing for me and anyone who would come out! My uncle had muscular dystrophy and he couldn’t do much without help it hurt me in a different way you know! It’s only right to make the world a better place in some sort of way!
Nothing is more satisfying in this world than taking a buddy fishing and fishing behind them and schooling them.😂
😂
This is why i do not like to fish with other people 😂
Yep. Back of the boat refishing water that the owner of the boat already fished😂
I never imagined a Muskie hitting a whacky worm. Matt, you are the sensei of kayak fishing.
Especially a dark colored one; what looks like that (10") in those waters?
Pike absolutely love larger wacky rigs for me too, have picked up some monster pike trying for bass
Darker colored lures seem to do well in murky water
Say what you want. You can study, purchase all the right lures, fish them as close as you can to the "right way," but there are some people that just have that God given gift to be able to catch fish! Matt is one of them. Blessings my friend. Don't ever take that for "granted." I feel for the commenter who is in his 80's and still hasn't ever caught a Muskie out of the St. Lawrence. I've never caught one either, but I fish from the shore in NC. Don't exactly have that opportunity. At 72 it's getting tougher each year. Not as nimble as I was in my 30's and 40's. Right now I'm just having a blast ultra lite fishing from the bank for Bluegill, Crappie, and small bass. Even caught a 5 lb. bass while bluegill fishing one day! That was epic! 4 lb. line and about a 5 minute fight. Had to beach her to be able to pick her up. At 71 years of age and very overweight, bending down to pick her up was a chore. ..but I do have pics!!!
I agree. I have a friend that could catch a fish in a bathtub. We can both fish the same bait in the same place and he will out fish me 10-1 just about every time.
Nothing beats experience. Dude has spent countless hours on the water and is able to develop patterns and also change tactics and adapt to the conditions as a result of that experience.
You, sir, are a true fisherman! Catching panfish and smaller bass on those ultra light setups is so fun! Sometimes we make it too complicated with all the big, sexy gear, putting pressure on ourselves to catch the biggest fish out there. There is nothing like downsizing and just having a blast with it. I did this the other day and rediscovered the simple, pure joy of fishing. I was able to wade my feet off the side of my kayak and throw around a rooster tail for a ton of small bass and bluegill.
All the decent sized bass feel like 5 pounders then…. Not to mention, you actually caught a 5 pounder! That thing must have felt MASSIVE! Respect!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@josephhedstrom1289 pics of the bass and modified plastic are on my inst$ gra% page. Sorry for the #$% stuff, but CZcams wont post the actual name.
@@josephhedstrom1289 CZcams keeps knocking off this reply because i refer to pics on the instant picture posting site. (chipseiler is my user name on that site - you know the one. instant gran)
Musky. The fish of ten thousand casts *
*Unless you're Matt
It’s amazing how many casts he edited out 😮
Its not that hard to catch them if you are shown how
Dude goes out and is disappointed if he doesn't catch a musky .... Most people it's the highlight of their entire fishing career
Hear me out, sell merch with a muskie/pike/smallie in a net with the quote "Get in my net!"
Or, "howdy everyone"
How about "THAT WAS SICK"?
" Good morning everyone" holding a musky with a plopper hanging from its teeth
Lol, that would sell fir sure!!!
I disagree. If he’s busy filling orders for your future landfill material he’s not fishing 🎣 making content.
Besides its played out. All the sheep have worked that angle to death.
My best friend passed away a few weals ago in a horrible car accident. He was my fishing buddy, me and him loved senko fishing. He specifically was good with the wacky rig. I remember asking him out of frustration one time when we were out on the water if he could teach me how to fish one effectively. I’ll never forget, who he was and what I learned from him and what he learned from me. Fly high little brother, one day we will meet again. ❤😢
I'm sorry for your loss. You don't happen to live anywhere near St. Louis do you? I'd be happy to go out fishing with you sometime if you do. Tight lines.
@@IlliniDog01 I’m Michigan bound lol I know there’s a ST. Louis in MI though, So idk.🤷♂️
Sorry for your loss, we will all be together again someday soon 🙏
Double on Muskegon has to be one of rarest occurrences on fresh water. Congrats!
Props to Jacob for standing up on cold water.
Without a pfd
props to stupidity?
@@MrCoffeekellybravery
@@jonholland6067he could walk back to shore 😂
Yamamoto senkos are my favorite river smallmouth bait. Who would believe they would also catch muskies. Matt is pushing boundaries and showing us how to catch more fish. Thanks!!
Nothing like fishing with a buddy and having the fish biting as well. So glad you purchased a decent dip net, now every time you have a colossal fish on your line I wont have hold my breath quite so hard. Thanks for the video and taking us along. Stay safe. Blessings, cheers.😊
I've been watching this guy for a month or so...love seeing the techniques, use of different baits, different locations, different species and learn something new each time. Please keep em coming!
Sick video, Matt. Shout out to Jacob, too, for that beast of a musky and all the great service and tackle I've purchased from his shop!
Chin up Jacob! Pretty sure any of us would be in the same boat with the “are you kidding me??”watching this guy boat fish after fish. He’s just that good! Another banger Matt!
The double up at the end!!! Thats great...great way to end it.
Hello! I see you have a new net! Cool! :) Your videos are very good, congratulations!
Great fishing and even better with a friend as well! Thanks for taking us along! See you next adventure!
Wow! Didn't expect you to catch muskies on the wacky worm, amazing video
I hope your 7th sub helps out your channel I know what it's like to be a beginner love to you and yours frome paul in p.a
@@paulbohn1971thank you so much man, I'm planning to start making videos seriously soon
A good friend always wants his wingman to be successful.! Well done.
Love these musky videos! If possible please keep making them!
Hey Matt, funny story for you. Way back in the day (1989-93) my buddies and I would go fish on the Toronto Islands right around ice out, mid-march to early April. Big pike, lakers and the occasional 'bow would be hanging around the various canals. We primarily used spoons (Wablers, lil cleos, 5 of diamonds, red devils etc etc.) When it was slow, we'd try other rigs too. One of those other rigs was Texas rig or carolina rigs with 6" Berkeley power worms and you know what? We caught some massive pike with them! I was shocked they worked so well and everyone i've told didn"t believe me at all.....this was all i could think about while watching this video. Lesson learned is that a slow steady presentation right in front of their noses works like a charm! Keep on keepin on dude!
I can't wait to use this technique in Minnesota later this year. Something new and I can't imagine too many musky anglers are tossing wacky worms. 5 fish day says it works! Thank you for the content!
Great river trip with Jacob. Double up at the end was sick. 4 G 1A Great game Matt. Awesome. Blessings brother
Happy to see Jacob not get skunked! The shakes 😂, I remember my first big musky, my knees were knocking so bad I could barely stand in the boat! Awesome fishing with good company! Greetings from Germany 👍🍻
Glad to see Jacob was not skunked
I like the idea of the heat shrink. I've always wondered how long those last before the start to fall apart.
Nice job Matt and Jacob!!
I did re rig a new worm after three muskie, the one I started with had some pretty good slices in it.
Always a good morning watching some YAK!!!
Another epic episode of NDYAKANGLER, it’s amazing what you do with a 6’6 MH bass x rod, you make it look easy, hats off to you Matt you’re the man!!🎣
I’ve fished all my life in both fresh, but mostly salt water on the Northern Gulf Coast where I grew up. I’ve caught just about every species of fish that we have down here (except for the marlins) but I’ve never caught a Smallie, Muskie, or a Pike, and I find your videos fascinating. One day, Lord willing, I’m going to schedule a trip up North and do some of your kind of fishing.
I just fished this river a little farther upstream again today, except I was targeting smallies this time! I found a half dozen nice ones which is pretty good for this early in the season, and saw a couple muskie but I left my big bait rods at home today.
If you travel north to fish, I would suggest places that don't see a lot of people. For me, that's 4 hours north, and there's still more pressure in the wilderness here than in, say, northwest Minnesota or the Dakotas.
Wacky rig on a sliding bobber with a splitshot and on a dropshot is amazing 😊❤
I never knew Muskies would be in a channel until I started watching your video's. I always thought they were just in lakes in the woods. Learned something new I guess. lol
I’ve caught a decent amount of larger bass on that magnum baits stick bait. I’ll need to try it on a wacky rig
“Fishing is all luck”
Then there’s this guy.
Wow...I never imagined seeing a muskie caught wacky sttyle..blew my mind! That was some quality entertainment 💪😄👍
So Senkos really do catch everything... Heck of a day fishing for muskie.
EPIC" WACKY LUNGE TIME! CHEERS" newsub in Idaho!
Utah here!
I really like ur voice and how u try different lures… I’m in nj… love watching u catch Muskies and pike…. Thanks for teachin us what to use and how to work it…..from a fishin women who loves to fish….❤
Thanks, Matt!! Nice to feel the warm sun while fishing!! Great day!!
Matt, you did a great job celebrating your friend when he caught his fish.
Ah yes, coffee in hand, and the Bob Ross of fishing new video. Our season is closed for Musky but this will do just fine.
I'm really liking the thought of a 10" wacky rig for bass! No doubt in my mind it will work...that's 1 technique I'm trying here real soon if the weather cooperates...looking forward to trying another bait...the 8" deps soft jerkbait...Big baits=Big Fish
I actually bought these to try on a lake this spring where I know there’s big bass, and I’ll probably still give them a try there. The idea just popped into my head the night before this trip I should try them on muskie!
This is absolutely incredible. One of the best fishing videos I’ve ever seen. Hats off to you man. Just amazing
Your content is the wacky worm of fishing videos that never fails to hook us
thanks for taking us along. another great day on the river awesome job gives me something to try next time i chase the musky
Love to see you share your fishing spots with your buddy’s love your videos never stop filming i can’t get enough!!!!!
I went to slide my small pontoon in last week, my son accidentally kicked one of the pvc pipes to roll on and took out the plug. Had to leave early the next day, going back Tuesday, new plugs, going to hopefully hit the pike, trout and early giant crappies! You are an inspiration to all and should have a show!!! Beside here
That’s a Fantastic day , congratulations to the both of you ! Really enjoy your videos . Thank you for showing them !
I'd never considered using large plastics for Muskie. Definitely something I'll try this summer! Great vid. Thanks!
Before Covid, we went to Lake Shikag in Ontario for smallies and walleye. Every year a great experience. Some in our group had been going for 35-40 years. It is catch and release. Being from the south, I had never caught walleye and just a few smallies. OMG what an experience for several years. No Muskie's, but Pike were there. Bottom line, I had never fished wacky worms before that and when it was explained to me, I just laughed. No Way!. But, man, did we catch fish on them. Smallies for sure on the wacky and Pike too. Dozens of walleye on live minnows, but we only kept enough for shore lunch. Such a wonderful trip with great guys. Hope that one day we'll do it again before it's too late. Lord willing.
Great video and congrats on 400k 🎉
I'm dying here in the first 2 minutes 😂
Beautiful Musky’s ! Musky and Pike are my favorites,big and beautiful! Great job as always,thank you sir.
Fantastic fishing guys. Matt, you are a phenom.
The best part of fishing with Matt is that you can still watch him on CZcams with the rest of us when he skunks you 😁
Live in the Chicago area, have gone up to N Wisconsin a number of times. Never caught a muskie. NDYA hooks a whole handful in a single random April afternoon. No words. Just living vicariously through you, my friend!
It was a fun couple weeks of pre spawn action! Now I’m just waiting for topwater season!
Great video and great fishing technique. Minimalist stealthy boat and fishing tackle. In Most other Musky channels, they fish out of 20+ foot super boat with 300 HP outboard, using 9 foot telephone pole rods, 80 lb. test line and lures the size of a small dog. You catch more Muskies and other fish without dressing like a NASCAR driver and making more noise than a NHRA Top Fuel race. Bravo.
Great video its good to have someone fish with you that does not get jealous and wants to sabotage your day cause of madness, If 2 wants the best for each other what a diffence it makes, The day goes right no matter what goes wrong.
Amazing day! Thanks for giving them a try and thanks for the vid!
Fantastic video, thanks
Thanks for sharing this with us. This was awesome
What a day of fishing for you and Jacob hope to see some summertime muskie fishing in this stretch of river
Great job Matt really enjoyed this video!
I agree with others. I know guys who have given years to catch a couple of nice muskies, and you do it in a day.
Love the videos. You sure know where to fish.
Glad you went back to the muskie hole. Good catch
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈👏👏
Sounded like speckle belly geese flying over on the first fish.
Great fish and great fishing!!! Tight lines!!!!!
The sound of a zillions drag never gets old. The new Daiwa PX BF70 BFS reel has a killer drag system and sound as well as the new Zillion SV TW 70 is so nice
Good morning!
Thanks!
Love the reaction from the other guy after your 3rd musky! "You're killing me man!"
He was starting to get a little frustrated lol, glad he caught the big one at the end though!
@@ndyakangler Yes! Glad he did. This same thing happened to me. Fishing with a good friend that was catching 5 for every one I did..both using the same gear. Talk about feeling defeated!! Still a good bud though!!
Great job guys 😊
Phenomenal day for muskies!! Wow. Nice net work too. I use a Boga grip for toothie critters out of the kayak. Helps when they get the twisties! 😮😊
Awesome video dude. I can't believe how good they ate that thing.
wow. amazing fish. i can’t believe how calm you remain. i would be loosing my mind if i hooked into one of those. great video
Love the vids man
Another EPIC video!
Awesome day for you boys. Lol, Jacob was torn up over the one he caught. 😂 what a rush.
Nice day on the water ! Good stuff
You got a new subscriber today, I think your content is great!!!
Thank you!
CONGRATS on 400k, Matt been here since forever seeing you get the recognition you deserve man!!!! Can’t wait for 1 million
What an epic day indeed. So glad you found a suitable net! Awesome stuff Matt.
Wow, dude. You guys have prehistoric monsters up there! Holy crap!
I'm buying a couple of packs of those 10" magnums. LOL ...heading to Minocqua in early June. Would love to hook into a Musky or a big pike...
Thanks for a great video Matt, River Monsters.......
Awesome day! 2 buds going out having a great day out on the water
Great video. I really like using the Rubber nets. The treble hooks are much easier to unhook..
Could feel the tension on the trip after the 3rd fish was caught. Buddy was sweating. Rofl. 🎉😂❤
I kind of had the roles reversed a few trips later fishing with another guy, wondering what I was doing wrong and not catching any lol. Sometimes it’s just about having the luck of getting your lure in the right spot.
Angler Supreme 😃 he’s a Machine 😎👌👍
Crazy Cool technique! I’ll try it for tiger musky in Colorado. Thanks for a great cyber space fish along!
Nice catch guys!!! They were quality fish 👍
Nice fish. Great video.
thank you very much for your video and also for saving fishes life.
So glad Jacob got into one too!
Another awesome video!
I’ve never targeted musky, but have caught 3 now on a regular 5” senko, Texas rigged! They seem to like em!
Youre my hero
What a day! Thanks for the ride matt
Awsome video nice muskies matt🎣
Congrats on 400K Subscribers !!!
That's a great morning for already, awesome video ❤
Awesome video!
