- Fishing for muskie and pike with the Jackall Mega Pompadour! It's a perfect fall day to head out to the river, hop in the kayak, and toss a big topwater lure around! Let's see if we can hook into a ferocious river beast!
Gear used on this trip:
Lure: Jackall Mega Pompadour
Rod: St Croix Victory 7'4" H F amzn.to/3PHsayz
Reel: Daiwa Tatula 150 amzn.to/42oEFn0
Line: Power Pro Super Slick V2 40lb amzn.to/3Vces8h
Leader: Berkley Steelon 6" 30lb
Anchor: Power Pole Micro amzn.to/43oJmyz
Kayak: 2013 Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120
Net: Ozark Trail brand from Walmart - Sport
The amazing accuracy with his casts shows just how many casts he has made over his time fishing. Hundred of thousands, I'd guess.
I did search for his blooper reel just to make myself feel better! But yes I love his smooth accurate casts.
Right, I probably make 100 a weekend and I feel like a child compared to him, especially on a kayak with a 7,4 pole
Not saying he ISN'T amazing at casting, but you also never know what's being edited out. Never assume what you see on CZcams as absolute reality.
I'm better
I have always admired his casting accuracy, even when I think he miscasts, it ends up on target. It’s like watching and listening to Bob Ross. Calming voice. Then, when he adds something to his painting and you think it’s a mistake, it turns out great
Just the sound of that fish inhaling the lure, you knew that was going to a monster!! Another great video!!
Aside from the high quality of your videos and the skill you so obviously possess, you are that rare breed; a completely honest fisherman! One fish in 7 hours is just sometimes how it goes!
Especially when fishing for muskie
Like they say, a Muskie is “the fish of a thousand casts”. That was a beauty of a fish. Sometimes catch just that one fish makes your whole day.😊
I’m impressed with the accuracy of your casts, placing the lure right at the shoreline from all compass points and distances w/o ending up in the vegetation and brush. 👍
Fishing is a lot like flying an airplane, hours and hours of boredom broken up by a few moments of sheer terror. That is a great muskie. I got to go to Canada fishing 4 different times and caught gobs of pike but only 1 muskie and it was 38 inches. One of the highlights of my life.
But your outdoors, so peaceful, better than a plane, hopefully hooking up!❤
Muskies that sound like the devil.hmmm...interesting waters your in Matt!😮
Only kayak CZcamsr that when the video starts, you immediately feel like you're in one of those dreams where see everything clearly
You have way more patience than I could ever have. Love the little casting montage... gives you sense of just how hard you were trying. But, what a reward that was when you finally caught that river monster! Thanks for sharing your adventures on the river.... makes me feel better when I can't get out there.
I am so jealous! These have become the only fishing recordings I watch anymore. Love his honesty and that he doesn't over narrate.
Good Morning!!
I used to watch JG's Waters and Woods on Saturday mornings here in the Chicago area religously. This CZcams channel has far replaced that for me!! Keep up the great work here Matt. As i'm sure many here live vicariously through you. Again, great job !!
Yeah buddy! The sound of that fish hitting the lure 👌🏻
Now that's fishing. Love watching you work the water. Good stuff, Matt.
What a fish! Worth the effort!
Fantastic job! What a beauty of a fish - it's the river's equivalent of a tiger!
Matt, I am a musky diehard, and this is your best depiction of how musky fishing usually goes. Hours, and hours, cast after cast after cast! Then, you got an awesome thrill with a big old toothy critter!!
Absolutely fantastic Matt. I'd think most fish would be swimming for their lives when that lure hits the water, all except the river monsters. Sure enjoyed my morning coffee and your exploits with lures that could never work. Happy to see your bashed thumb is healing. Hope you didn't damage your truck door.
Watching that fish explode on that lure made me jump as if I was right there!! Great footage,Matt. Thanks for the video,loved it!!!!
The worst day of fishing beats any good day @ work with 2 exceptions. 1) Winning the office pool lottery & 2) Watching your icehole of a boss get fired! Last days of fishing are the memories that feed dreams until spring
Nice muskie. I'm impressed with your creeper lure. I collect them and that's the first one I've seen that has rattles in it. I'm gonna have to add one to my collection.
First Saturday day off In weeks and I get to wake up the Bob Ross of fishing much love man! Keep it up
Another stellar video and fantastic editing to keep 7 hours of fishing an enjoyable experience to watch.
LETS GET HIM TO 1M!!!!!!
I like how you show footage of cast after cast sometimes. It shows how much work and dedication it takes and not every trip limits out in 5 minutes. Not sure if you’ve tried it, but here in Michigan when the salmon start the fall runs can be a blast. They can put up a fight that will give you awesome adrenaline rush
Persistence paid off! Nice fish
HARD WORK PAYS OFF,BEAUTIFUL MUSKY GREAT JOB.
Awesome! Thanks for showing how difficult it is to catch a musky and also I like that you replayed the violent strike!!!!
7 hours...Worth it!!
I still can see that black spot on your finger, hope it’ll get better 👍
Definitely, that was amazing.
Great way to start the day!
Nice!!! The fish of 10000 casts proves why once again......beautiful musky
“Howdy everyone!” Anytime a fishing video starts like this you know it’ll be a good one! Especially if they come from Minnesota! Great video as always!!!!
Always awesome videos and beautiful background. Enjoyed your narratives throughout.
The fish of a thousand casts. What a beautiful stretch of river. Great day!
The Fish of a thousand casts, or one!😊
Let’s go! Always great when you post! Keep it up!
I really enjoy your fishing channel....in fact it's my favorite! Look forward to upcoming videos! Cheers Dave!
My little 3 year old twin girls both asked to "watch a fishing video" with breakfast this morning. So pleased to see your upload! Thank you as always sir
Woot! Another great vid. Thanks for sharing!
WOW! Thanks! Always enjoy your content. Hope to see your Saturday mornings videos all winter.
Great trip. It only takes 1 to make your day. Nice catch! Stay safe.
My Saturday is now complete....Thank you, Matt.
I could see the flash just before the strike. It's a great feeling. Thanks for the video!
That was amazing!!! My heart was pumped just watching. Love the editing on this episode. best fishing channel!
Best 2 fish video I have watched. Thank you for sharing! Love your videos
nice fish brother ...keep the good job
Love the casting montage at 10:25 .... it hits home how little there biting 😊
that gulp when it took your lure was goosebump-inducing
Bob Ross of fishing. So calming and well explained
What an awesome fish. And a nice smallie to boot. Not a bad day at all. Thanks for sharing.
That smallie was pretty ambitious hitting a lure almost as big as he was.
Awesome, Matt! What a strike! Loved it.
Nice work! Patience is a pillar of virtue! Your patience paid off handsomely!😊
Does this guy EVER cast a snag!? His casts are insanely immaculate
Ty for taking us with you! amazing!🙏🏻
Looks like so much fun. This channel is as close as I’ll get to this one experience. So thanks bud for sharing
Just got my first kayak this year and these videos have taught me a lot. This is my favorite fishing channel!
The guy that runs this channel could be a pro fisherman imo. He's definitely spent a lot of time on the water honing his skills. People can learn quite a bit from him by closely watching & listening to him.
I really enjoy your videos. So many others have all the talk and hype; you just fish. I find it very relaxing to watch, but also inspires me to get out and wet a line once in a while. Thanks for the best fishing videos on YT.
That was insane, love the vids man!
Fantastic. I watch every second of your videos, never skip ahead.
I love fishing the pompadour for smallies
great video man. love seeing the determination
Your aim is amazing!
Nice job sticking with it, what a monster
I also use to chase smallmouth more of the time but my last trip got highjacked by a case of musky fever nothing like it the rush of catching one is awesome. thanks for sharing.
A most enjoyable video. The emotion and suspense to the last moment. That only wonderful musky must have been pure bliss and fortunately the animal didn’t get unhooked and you could get it up on your kayak and gaze its beauty. Mission accomplished and a most satisfactory drive back home recalling that bite and fight.
I wish I had had a similar happy final in my last fishing trip on last Friday. I had caught seven bass on a wacky rig with four of them quality fish. Being an unusually hot day the surface of the reservoir was a mirror after sunset. I thought it would be the right moment for the icing on the cake if I could catch my first bass ever on a rat lure. I had a first bite on the rat but no hookset. I walked on along the bank and half an hour later with almost no daylight I had a second bite and this was a brutal one seven meters away from me. A powerful fight started which felt like a fish well over two pounds. I was relishing to have that perfect end to this fishing day trying a new lure but…unfortunately the bass jumped and released itself. Well, that’s fishing!
Very very nice. Great day on the river. Well done, both fishing and video production. Thanks 😊
really makes the day worth it
LoL! Thanks for including you catching the tree branch. There are times watching these types of videos where it feels like I'm the only one doing that. I need a better Editor for my real world fishing.
You literally have the craziest first in North America in your back yard. Jealous is an understatement.
One of the best ways to start a Saturday 🎣🛶
Gotta love a good crawler bait video I've got bass on the regular size Pompadour and even ultra light crawlers like the Megabass Grand and Nano Sigletts...
Bucket list for sure!!!
That definitely looked like perfect ambush spot 👍👍
Nice job. Pinpoint casting and perseverance lead to a beautiful Muskie.
That was awesome! Nice work Mr.!
What a catch brother. Love your vids.
Found your channel a week ago. Can't stop wstching.
Love the vids!
Matt you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
Hard work pays off bro! That was amazing! What a prehistoric monster!
Well done, sir
Absolutely correct! 1 Musky was worth the time and effort. Beautiful fish 🎣!
What a beast, congrats!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets the shakes on Muskie! 😜
What a fish!!! The fish of a thousand casts...Musky
When he makes swirls the size off a Volkswagen you know he’s a Bigun’!
The anticipation was really building during this one! Nice fish & video.
I love when the big ones just slowly swim off and there just ripping drag like it's 4lb best thing in the world
Thats a great way to get the heart pumping. Nice catch.
The Bob Ross of CZcams fisherman. Such a relaxing tone of voice throughout - even when he's excited for a big catch.
been using that for years. Bass love it!
GREAT opening!
Awesome dude as always!!
Love your videos man you’re an inspiration
Brilliant video! That strike really made me jump!! Cheers, John.
Thanks for showing the doldrums side of fishing...I can go for multiple trips and never get my net wet. It goes like that.
Beautiful scenery
MY uncle taught me to fish, and we had plenty of skunk days. But the man always said, I'd rather be fishin' than just about anything else.
Glad you got one!
worth the wait
Great Job, Nice Fish...I wasn't sure about that lure...once again your persistence paid off.
Grats man! Loved the footage of that muskie getting vertical to shake the bait. Well done!
