You have amazing fisheries around you!! Beautiful good size fish. Anyplace that will produce that many quality small mouth in a day’s worth of fishing is a great place to fish. Thank you for taking us along with you!! Keep up the good work.
I think it is safe to say that we don’t watch to see you try a bunch of different lures and techniques. We watch because or the joy you bring to fishing, the relaxing way you talk about the trip to us…to me it is a reminder of why I need to fish more often and enjoy the adventure. Keep doing what you do, fishing how and what you want to fish, and we will keep joining you for the trip.
IMO, this is the best time to fish Smallies. This video sure brings back some good memories. Walleye fishing in rivers at this time gets crazy good too.
Beauty, fight, flavor. The smallie is a national natural treasure. If only I had the time to fish these days. Thanks for the uploads: you enrich the lives of us that crave the wilds, but can't get there.
The sounds of a DC reel and whopper plopper is like a symphony of the greatest sounds..❤ I just picked up a Slx dc and 2 whopper ploppers, super excited for the summer..😁
I like how the deer showed where the channel was, calling your shots is fun to watch. Smallies are my favorite fresh water fish to catch. Thank you for sharing.
Zing! Plop! Bam! What a great fishing channel. The best. I'm in Australia and this is just so meditative in these challenging times. Thank you NDYakAngler, what you are doing transcends fishing. You are making us feel good and that is important work.
Every time I watch your channel I still cannot believe how big of small E’s you catch. And top water at that!! I am a western trout guy, but small mouth are my favorite fish. So hence this is one of my favorite channels. Good job! Really entertaining and super jealous
The cast at 3:27! Love your videos, you inspired me and my friend to get kayaks. We've had some fun experiences already, caught my first river bass a couple of weeks ago. Keep up the great work.
Always good to take a ride with your videos. Thanks for providing some escape for those of us who cannot make it out onto the water and keep them coming!!
Duuuuude first 60 seconds!!!! Got me double checking my trolling motor battery making sure it's charging for the morning 😂😂. Can't get any smallies here in Florida but some big ol largies are possible 🤟
Tried out the Plopper this summer and this is the first fishing season where ive actually had success with top water. The fall Northern have been crushing the top waters lately
I dont always watch full TH-cam videos, but when I do its normally one of yours. Great video awesome fish. Looks like so much fun. Feeling alittle peanutbutter and jealous honesty.
Such a healthy fishery you have. And a great batch of content as always. We have some herring lakes in Maine and grow some fatties that have love handles.. You should check it out some time.. :)
I kept expecting the beginning to be some kind of teaser clip for the rest of the video, but it was right into the action. Don’t see that a lot these days, awesome fish!
@@ndyakangler I was lucky to be in the boat as the net man to bag the biggest smallie I have ever seen in person. My Dad, Uncle, our dog Bluto and myself were in northern WI on a big lake and my uncle hooked up on a 6lb2oz... after an epic fight "classic smallie fight" she swam away healthy and we have a beautiful replica mount.
@@ndyakangler Need to hit the Tennessee River to get bigger weights. Biggest I've landed is 8.3 and netted Docs 8.9 IGFA 6lb test wr SM. But I sure like your quality and numbers. Trade you trips?
great fish. we had our kayaks out yesterday, worm fishing, gills, sun fish and a 8" large mouth. great afternoon. first time my wife was out fishing in a yak. she really enjoyed it.
You got me fishing on my local river 3 years ago. Got all my friends into it too. Whopper plopper and the spook have been the go to. Recently busted out the snake and it’s been killing it.
Nothing more relaxing, after working in the sweat shop, than to come home and eat Chinese food and catch another episode of my favorite smallie bass fisherman!
After experiencing top water action with the Whopper Plopper, hooking up on only 12" & 13" bass (oh and my PB pike), i am almost at the point to where I only want to fish on top water with the Whopper Plopper. Now there's fishing season and then there's top water season. Love it as always good sir.
Yeah if they’re hitting the Plopper it’s about as fun as fishing gets and it’s tough to switch over to anything else! It’s what I’d have tied on the majority of the time if I didn’t want to switch it up to keep the videos interesting.
I thank you so much for all the whopper plopper videos!! They helped me really dial in! I had my uncle and my dad with their pants at their ankles when I was catching them on it earlier this year lol! Broke my pb too! You’re the man yak
Wow! Crushing it as usual. Love the action of your videos. Close to the water camera angles, plenty of action. Now I'm gonna have to go out and buy a Whopper Plopper!
Hey. I got out to mille lacs sat. Three hours of casting and caught one fish. But oh boy what a fish. 21 inch. Soo nice. When it hit I thought I snagged a rock until it ran.
I Love watching your whopper plopper videos. Last week I caught two small mouth at the same time on a 110 bone...the one on the front hook was around 17 inches & the one on the bottom hook was around 14 inches. Pretty awesome to have two fish slam top water at the same time
I love it when smallies are super-aggressive. My personal record is 13 fish on 13 consecutive casts. You won't have more fun with your pants on. And of course, you don't have to wear pants.
Love your channel man, I hadn't fished in 5+ years before finding your channel man. Your remind me of how satisfying a day on a lake can be. Thanks so much 🙌
Had a similar experience with the Plopper recently. Northern Ontario, Canada my brother-in-law and I were slamming 20-30 per day on the ploppers. The lure is just so good for bank casting like this.
@@polariceedits7500 Fun fact that's the lake we normally go to! Rent a cottage on the north end. Pike starting to come into the lake adds more sport fishing just hope it doesn't affect the bass pop.
I have learned a lot about fishing smallies from you and was able to bring my son out and tell him where to cast to catch his own. Now we are hooked.(intended)(cheesy) Seriously though, Thank You!
I love the Whopper Plopper! I think it’s probably a little more effective in rivers than lakes but still works well in lakes. You could do very well as a guide
NDYakAngler is the Babe Ruth of fishing! -- Calling his shot, then BOOM! Homerun!!
Am
You stole my comment from my head
He’s definitely The man.
Legit
Your the one that turned me on to the whooper plooper years ago, caught my PB on one 21 1/2" smallie. Thanks
Always appreciate the AUDIO in your videos, really sets them apart from the rest. Thank you!
Agreed!

Nothing better imo. Than a top water plop bite. Love it
With your calm demeanor, your like the Bob Ross of fishing. Instead of happy trees it’s happy bass.

I'm so jealous of your fishing spots man... seriously seems like perfect places to go. Every single time.
It literally is. I fish this river alot and the smallmouth act like they have never seen a bait which they really havent seen many.
Your the one guy that I'd believe around a campfire if you told a wild fishing story !!!!! Congrats on the catches man I love your videos
7:44 What perfectly healthy fish, not even one rip in its tail, just look at how perfect that tail is.
Actually 8:01 is the perfect time. Yes that the prettiest smallie I've ever seen...
Man, I love the sound of your reel when you cast! Beautiful smallies homie🔥
gotta love a shimano DC, I love mine
@@halo2player3
Which one you have ?
@@440-fishermandrock8 I have the Shimano SLX 150 DC HG. I highly recommend it.
@@kalronn got the same one. IMO it's the best reel ypu can get for under 200$.
Hands down my favorite baitcaster.
I appreciate how you set the fish back into the water vs chucking it 10 feet in the air like 90% of the other channels.
I like how the deer showed where the channel was, calling your shots is fun to watch. Smallies are my favorite fresh water fish to catch. Thank you for sharing.
How peaceful of a river that’s why I love fishing so much
Watching your videos is making me want to get a kayak! Thanks again for taking me fishing with you!
It’s worth it! I’ve been kayak fishing the last two years and it’s been a blast.
I'm glad I got one. Makes you feel free to go where the fish are not just where you boat and motor can go as well.
Zing! Plop! Bam! What a great fishing channel. The best. I'm in Australia and this is just so meditative in these challenging times. Thank you NDYakAngler, what you are doing transcends fishing. You are making us feel good and that is important work.
Another great one in the books, thanks again for providing, imo, the best fishing content on the tube. You made this Friday even better
I get so stoked when I see new content from you man. Cheers and keep them coming!
Sir, you're so calm and soft-spoken; you're the "Bob Ross" of fishing!
Every time I watch your channel I still cannot believe how big of small E’s you catch. And top water at that!! I am a western trout guy, but small mouth are my favorite fish. So hence this is one of my favorite channels. Good job! Really entertaining and super jealous
Them Smallies don't stand a chance with you Brother!!! Awesome as always with just as awesome scenery n wildlife!!!
Absolutely love the perfect cast and retrieve following that weed line at the rate of your drift at 2:42. Very satisfying, thank you
Around the 5:30 or so Smallmouth - he didn't even let the lure get wet before he hit it. That was neat!
Bob Ross of fishing ,this guy is great
I have to admire your paddling technique after going fishing in my kayak for the first time. You make it look so, so easy.
“I hate to keep coming out and doing the same thing over and over, but..” lies! All lies! 😂
Wow, what a day for success! That's just amazing. The Plopper company must love your videos.
The cast at 3:27! Love your videos, you inspired me and my friend to get kayaks. We've had some fun experiences already, caught my first river bass a couple of weeks ago. Keep up the great work.
I look forward to your new videos every time I get a notification. If only I could master my bait caster like you have yours. You make it look easy.
It takes me the whole fishing season to maybe catch as many nice smallies as Matt catches in one outing.
Always good to take a ride with your videos. Thanks for providing some escape for those of us who cannot make it out onto the water and keep them coming!!
I can’t stop watching you NDYakAngler love your videos.
Always love hooking a smallmouth. The ones we caught in Canada always fought harder and jumped more than largemouths.
Pound for pound not much matches a smallies fight. They surprise me to this day.
@@luketw2818 spotted bass can
Definitely the Bob Ross of fishing!!!
Man. A day of quality this time. Awesome video Yak! You never cease to amaze me.
18:36 I've never seen deer cross rivers.
Of all the YoutTube fisherman, this is the most relaxing content. This is what fishing is all about!
I just got a St Croix Bass X 6'8" rod (Could find a 6'6") and a Shimano SLX DC 150 XG. Can't wait to use them.
Duuuuude first 60 seconds!!!! Got me double checking my trolling motor battery making sure it's charging for the morning 😂😂. Can't get any smallies here in Florida but some big ol largies are possible 🤟

The sound quality on your topwater videos is the best on TH-cam!!!
No nonsense, great fishing videos. I love it!
Again all I can say is best fishing show on you tube! Great video
your precision is crazy good. awesome job
Best TH-camr hands down. Been watching Matt for about 3 years now! Keep it up, Matt
Always a pleasure
Beautiful water scenery and AWESOME SMALLMOUTH !!!!! Wish I could join you sometime !
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us. Gonna be on mille lakes Saturday. Smallies!!!
A new drinking game -- take a drink every time WP is mentioned!
Sooooo drunk
Just make sure you are using beer and not bourbon! Great video. Also could use smallie as a drinking word.
I dont always watch full TH-cam videos, but when I do its normally one of yours. Great video awesome fish. Looks like so much fun. Feeling alittle peanutbutter and jealous honesty.

Well that was awesome! Nice fish and beautiful scenery!
I kept expecting the beginning to be some kind of teaser clip for the rest of the video, but it was right into the action. Don’t see that a lot these days, awesome fish!
Please don’t ever take for granted the beautiful water you get to fish, usually by yourself. (That from a Southern California fisherman.).
The Babe Ruth of smallmouth fishing calling his shot... LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
All those fish were gorgeous, one of those at 6-7lbs would be a beautiful replica mount. Awesome video
The biggest one I’ve ever weighed was 6-2. I’ve wanted to get a replica of it but I keep telling myself one more year to try to catch one bigger.

great fish. we had our kayaks out yesterday, worm fishing, gills, sun fish and a 8" large mouth. great afternoon. first time my wife was out fishing in a yak. she really enjoyed it.
I recently moved out of the Midwest and whenever someone asks what I miss the most, I immediately say "the smallies."
Yay, new ndyakangler video! Your content is amazing!
Don't apologize. Watching topwater blowups never gets dull.
Your casting skills are unbelievable!! Best fishing videos on You tube as well!!
You got me fishing on my local river 3 years ago. Got all my friends into it too. Whopper plopper and the spook have been the go to. Recently busted out the snake and it’s been killing it.
The Spro BBZ-1 rat is another one I can always depend on to catch some big fish. It has great action and both smallmouth and largemouth hammer it!
Nothing more relaxing, after working in the sweat shop, than to come home and eat Chinese food and catch another episode of my favorite smallie bass fisherman!
Smallies, northerns, and gold eyes have been caught on that exact lure last week. Using a yellow colored lure, but they were smashing that thing
After experiencing top water action with the Whopper Plopper, hooking up on only 12" & 13" bass (oh and my PB pike), i am almost at the point to where I only want to fish on top water with the Whopper Plopper. Now there's fishing season and then there's top water season. Love it as always good sir.

Someone needs to make a long sleeve sun protection fishing shirt in a smallie pattern like these fish!
I would pre order it lol
Dude...
Camo for fisherman! I love the cheetah print skin pattern some smallies get. It's so beautiful I can't explain it.
I am working on it
Thanks Matt, I can’t wait until opener.
Love to see the top water action!
Dude your the bob Ross of fishing... And there's a ton of happy bushes 🤣
That's blooper is effective anywhere!!! Great lure
Wopper plopper are the best multi species lure. Pike, muskie, smallies, largies, anything that swims
I Love watching your whopper plopper videos. Last week I caught two small mouth at the same time on a 110 bone...the one on the front hook was around 17 inches & the one on the bottom hook was around 14 inches. Pretty awesome to have two fish slam top water at the same time
Those are big beautiful smallies!
Congrats Man!!
Sweet spot the whopper plopper getting it done real nice
Thanks for turning me on to the whopper plopper. My last small river trip I caught 3 nice ones and lost 4 more.
Those fish are on that lure like a duck on June bug 🐛 😍 😋.
I love it when smallies are super-aggressive. My personal record is 13 fish on 13 consecutive casts. You won't have more fun with your pants on. And of course, you don't have to wear pants.
Had no idea ND held such huge smallmouth. Now I really can’t wait to get back up there !
This was in MN but ND has some quality smallie fishing too.
@@ndyakangler i have family over there we visit just about every year. might need to seek out these spots. they're up north in turtle mountains.
Love your channel man, I hadn't fished in 5+ years before finding your channel man. Your remind me of how satisfying a day on a lake can be. Thanks so much 🙌

Come to southern Ontario and you won't get a single bite all day! haha
@@CzedYman preach brother, know that feeling all to well.
@@CzedYman depends on where you are. South Eastern Ontario has some GREAT spots. I'm in zone 18, head up this way for some good catch
Check out rice lake plenty of smallies and largies
@@polariceedits7500 Fun fact that's the lake we normally go to! Rent a cottage on the north end. Pike starting to come into the lake adds more sport fishing just hope it doesn't affect the bass pop.
I've watched so many of NDYakAngler's videos that I am starting to wonder how many times he's caught each of these fish before. Lol.
Some of those spots that always seem to hold a fish I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same fish or there’s a group of 2-3 that are usually there.
@@ndyakangler It's truly impressive how good you are at getting them to strike.
You're living the dream man! What I wouldn't give to have a place to catch smallies like that!
Your reel sounds like a micro jet engine. 😊👍🏻😎
I would not want to be a wood minnow in those waters... SWWWWIMMMMM CHARLIE.. Nice fish kid.
Awesome Video you caught some very nice Smallies
Smallies didn't stand a chance, you was on fire. Awesome video once again.
I have learned a lot about fishing smallies from you and was able to bring my son out and tell him where to cast to catch his own. Now we are hooked.(intended)(cheesy)
Seriously though, Thank You!
Doesn’t matter what you use brother always have my view you are my favorite by far and nice call keep up the great content
whopper plopper = whopper floppers ! amazing videos, please keep throwing the whopper plopper
Nice video. I can't wait to hit the river for smallies in couple days . Your channel inspired me to chase smallmouth
I love the Whopper Plopper! I think it’s probably a little more effective in rivers than lakes but still works well in lakes. You could do very well as a guide
Love your videos brother, keep em comin. Top water time is the best time of the year!
Awesome when you can call your shots. Super quiet location every time I film all kind of racket goes on. Great your footage
