Daddy Daughter Fishing Day!
One of my most enjoyable days of fishing in a while, even though I didn't land any fish. My 18 year old daughter, who hasn't gone fishing since she was 10 or 11, told me she wanted to get back into fishing. So of course I ran right out and got her a new spinning combo and put together a tackle bag with some essentials. This was our first outing together, and she completely outfished me. She's a natural with a drop shot.

Have you ever caught a trout while bass fishing, any on vid
Got a good laugh at what I came for- the trout- thanks! subbed
Glad you enjoyed
you look like tim walz
Have you ever caught a trout before while bass fishing on video yet? Good content!
Yup, it happens quite a bit at some of our Colorado lakes. My last video at Trinidad I got a couple on video. Thanks!
@@mattflanjrfishing Hell yeah your trusty TH-camr when I want to see you catch those slimy bastards
If only they could get some rain! Place is so cool when the logs are floating...been a few years now.
Yeah, the water was definitely lower than the last few times I was there. Love that place.
@@mattflanjrfishing I was watching your video to see water levels. When was this?
@@robcarey4189 first week of September
Gotta get her on a yak dude!!! Welcome to borrow mine anytime if she wants to go out!
Hell yeah, thanks bud.
Touché !
Glad to see you fish with your daughter cool!
Must be in the genes...great job Norah!
Clearly she had a great teacher.
Awesome! Get that girl in a kayak!
🤫
Father and daughter fishing videos make the best memories Matt thanks for sharing! God bless!
What a great day., Did the same thing at Horsetooth a couple weeks ago towing my daughter on her SUP behind be in my kayak. This is the best part of fishing, when you can share it with family.
@@The_Mudfoot thanks man! I’ve towed my wife and daughters behind the kayak too. Fun stuff.
I got my qualifier event Saturday, top 24 anglers in Ohio, gonna be a shoot out!
@@MrFishingOhio nice, good luck man!
#footlock Great video man!
Thanks bud!
Thank you Matt as always for another great day on the water it was a grind for sure, but you did it and hit some milestones to end the year. I really enjoyed watching your journey I observed and learned a lot from your videos and appreciate the content! Thank you Matt for allowing me to come along and watch you through your highs and lows and can’t edit to see what you do next year and hopefully I see you in the water this time! Tight lines take care and God bless!
Thanks as always for the comments! Hope to see you out there one day.
Matt, enjoyed this very much! Living vicariously out here in NV.
Thanks man, great to hear from you!
I could feel the frustration from you and a lot of other anglers through the scoreboard that day. So many 12-13.5 fish submitted.
Yeah man, it was tough. I only stuck a couple in practice in Denver cove, but they were over 15” so I was excited to have the place to myself on gameday. Oh well. Thanks for judging!
My legs are not long enough for that new spot lock. lol great video as always Matt
Ha! Thanks man, great season.
You sure tried! Caught a bunch of dinks! I know the bite died once the wind came up in the afternoon.
Yeah, I wasted the morning bite catching dinks. Great job bud!
I could feel the frustration with all the dinks...what was the winning total inches? Good video...I didn't miss the "turn on go pro."
@@MatthewFlanagan-u3i 80.50” to win. 74.75” was third. I was fairly confident after practice, but it just didn’t go my way.
Jus had ours in AZ subbed
@@BubbaBass thanks!
Excelent, buddy! Thank you for sharing this! Cheers from Brazil!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice fish! It was a striper
Hope you find the right technique(s).
Congratulations on a good tournament and great video. Nice video action on that crazy catch. I'm guessing you're looking into cutting down on those "gotaways.'
Yeah, I need to work on setting the hook more aggressively when I feel a bite. A lot of times I just lean into it, which clearly isn’t cutting it.
Good video but man you lost some nice fish on both days purely because you didn’t set the hook hard enough, the way you set the hook on the frog bite is the way you should always do it
Yeah, I’m trying to work on that.
Nice bunch of fish. I’m hoping to join the club this winter and start the tournament series for next year. Love your videos. They’ve made me want to join.
That’s awesome to hear! You can’t go wrong with either of the local clubs. CKFC is great if you also like doing other species besides bass, and CKB is great if you like to travel a few hours outside of Colorado a few times a year. Feel free to hit me up if you have questions about either club or tournaments in general.
Another great video man! Keep it up!
Appreciate it!
Alright Matt a great day on the water for your day 1 event. You lost some possible big ones but grinded through and accomplish your goal! Thanks for sharing can’t wait to see day 2 results sir! Tight lines take care and God bless!
Thanks as always man! I appreciate your comments.
Solid first day 👊😎 ive always wanted to fish this lake hopefully kansas kayak anglers will host an event there someday!
It’s an awesome lake, you really should try to get there.
Great video, nice first day. Wish there was a way to cut down on those "gotaways."
It’s something about the fish in that lake. A lot of guys had issues losing fish, so it wasn’t just me. They like to jump for sure.
Schoens Cove?
Yup
@@mattflanjrfishing my favorite spot on that lake! Pulled a 20.5" out of there last spring while crappie fishing.
Every video i see makes me want to go back there again. Can't wait for day 2!
I know what you mean. Just editing my footage made me want to go back already.
Matt, what lake was that? Love the content…just got my Wilderness Systems Recon 120HD, look forward to seeing you out on the lakes.
3 good ones and a near-giant…pretty impressive. Good tuneup for Kansas.
For sure. Any smallmouth over 18” is pretty special. Can’t wait for Kansas.
Great video I’m gonna have to try a buzz bait out on that lake
Matt those were some really pretty fish you caught thanks for sharing this fun time on the water and God go with you on your journey to Kansas have an awesome trip and positive vibes send to you in this next tournament brother! Tight lines take care and God bless!
Thanks man, can’t wait for Kansas.
Another great video! yeah... the boats on Chatfield are probably the only thing I hate about the lake but I do like that half of it is wakeless!
Thanks bud. I do like the wakeless aspect, I just haven’t put in enough time on that lake to know where the good ones are.
Hey Matt you want to be more clear how music that loud that you can hear from across the lake is “ever” good LOL! Thanks for sharing you’re day on the lake I’m scout a block away from Chatfield that is lake you end up grinding to the end to get any sizable bass out of looked like one really good one though, but all dinks! Look forward to the tournament video! Tight lines take care and God bless!
Ha, thanks man!
I fished the trees in the early early spring. Looks good for sure. Nice smallie!!
Thanks bud
Very helpful! Kudos
Glad you think so!
Matt thanks again for sharing your tournament day with us you kept grinding and grinding. Even with the little dinks you caught some reasonable size fish and ended in 11th place I think you did awesome keep your head up! It was a beautiful day fishing on a challenging lake! Tight lines take care and God bless!
Thanks!
I recognize that boat! 😂 I really should have netted those 8 inchers that got away. I’m coming after you on the next one!
Yeah, he cut off Kaleb too, right before he got me. Gotta land those 8 inchers if you wanna beat this guy! 😆
I think you were having a bad day and taking your frustration out on a boater. Looks like they were motoring past you?
Yes, but common courtesy says they should go around me, rather than directly in front of me, right over top of the area I'm fishing.
@@mattflanjrfishing ok, I couldn’t tell what the area was like around you. Yeah, that was a bad move on their part.
Not the worst boater I’ve seen. He didn’t even hit you. Also, funny that I made it in your video without even being there. 😄
@@matta4110 he also cut right in front of Kaleb, but yeah, I’ve definitely dealt with worse. And you’re always there in spirit.
A couple biguns and some beautiful clouds...how do you beat that? Good video, keep 'em coming.
Heck yeah, turned into a great day.
Q is one of my favorite local fisheries on the yak but man, that blue/green algae is terrible this time of year and no fun to fish in.
I know what you mean. All my line has a green tint to it after that day.
Matt I enjoy both of your youtube channels I love your struggles and I love your victories, but above all that you represent Colorado bass anglers! And I can’t wait to find you all and fish with you next year. I appreciate the grind that you spend your day just to bring a successful day on the water I pray for your continued success and that you bring home some hardware! Tight lines take care and God bless!
Thanks man, I appreciate all the support!
I agree with you…not a fan of those with the cheater boxes. Old school or less electronics is how we SHOULD be fishing. FFS actually disgusts me! 👊
I was there yesterday and got my ass whooped!!
