I am always astonished at how this fellow is always able to locate these fish and land one after the other. No fancy electronics or anything. Just sheer instinct and fisherman’s knowledge.
The secret to all these youtube bass fishers who catch like 800 bass in a day is that they fish stocked lakes and ponds that only have private access. I don't even see the fun in that. I'd rather spend all day to catch one quality walleye or trout in a public lake or river.
You dont need fancy expensive trinkets to catch big fish. Men have been catching fish with worms and handmade doo-dads for generations. #Zebco33alliance
I have to say that you are my absolute favorite fishing channel. You are always interesting and enjoyable to watch. No nonsense and nothing self promotional . You seem to truly appreciate your followers and your fishing experience and skills are unequaled. Always a great video.
Absolutely, he’s awful humble and a damn good fisherman. I watch everything he drops the same day I get the notification. I check on my lunch at work everyday
This has quickly become my favorite fishing channel. Beautiful spots, no bs, and we get to watch a guy who has fantastic skills. No annoying soundtrack. Just a guy on the water living his best life.
@@eaqx That's true they will bite almost anything that moves. When they are biting tho, that's the catch. He seems to find the active fish consistently.
The cost of a lure has little to nothing to do with its ability to attract a strike. When I was probably 8 years my brother and I went through a lot of lures. Combine that with the ability for young fishermen to lose lures at an incredible rate. My father refused to buy more lures and insisted my brother and I earn money cleaning neighborhood cars, mowing lawns etc. But we learned from magazines and TV about ways to make our lures. So we resorted to making lures from tea spoons and other items we found at the local dump. You’d be surprised how many fish we caught from junk not to mention the pride of doing it on your own. Even NDyakangler went out with a painted cork, sent in by a fan and caught plenty of smallies with it. 90% of all fish caught are the results of desperately hungry fish, not a lures price tag.
That’s the very frog we use to catch our very first bass with my kids, it has become one of my so far favorites, that and the wacky worm. My family truly enjoys your videos!
Same! It's wild to watch my 4yo catching fish already, and always handy to know what works that isn't expensive! We love the wacky worm in Minnesota, too!💕
Me and my son have bought a lot of ozark trail lures. We’ve tested them out compared to name brand and performance was pretty close. Super impressed actually. And thanks again for rocking out these awesome videos.
I've always wondered about these good to know for the money you can't beat it and it hurts alot less when you lose a $2 lure compared to a $14. Also can't beat the yum bargain bin at Walmart always finding good stuff in those
@@yummygogolak scum frogs are totally different and where I live they're like $5-7 the one I bought didn't even walk and it's not cause I don't know how to walk a frog they're just not made the same as a regular walking frog I wasn't impressed
Back in the day Gander Mountain used to have a big bargain bin at the front of the store. I scored lots of great lures for relatively cheap, still have some of them, years later.
Time and repetition. Like a golfer that knows the difference between swinging a 1 iron or 3 iron at 180 yards (I have no idea if those clubs/distances are really a thing, so chill!) Or a quarterback throwing 15 or 25 yards. Set up a few targets in an open grassy field and throw a 1/2 lb sinker at them.
Not just the accuracy but the distance too! I am constantly amazed by how far his casts carry the lure. But what really blows me away is his dexterity in getting those lures out of the fish. When I think of how many hooks I've man-handled out of fish over the years at great injury to the fish and/or my fingers he seems an absolute magician. - Dan
I have never had a problem with Ozark Trail lures. I caught the 23 pound grass carp in my profile pic with an Ozark Trail popper. Love your videos, keep 'em coming!
I just tied that knot...absolutely impressive mechanical advantage is deployed using it. The way it bites down onto the hook without also applying pressure to the knot itself is so utterly genius. Tie it on something like a wide rubber band and watch it work.
Got a tip for ya. I use the same knot. Wet your line before you snich down your knot. I put the knot in my mouth and use my saliva to wet my line. Then I snich it. A dry line builds up friction and weakens your knot.
I’ve had good luck with these as well, just open the hook gap up a tad, like you mention, like almost all the frogs available and it’ll increase your catch percentage.

I been watching your videos for about 3 years now. I really enjoy them. keep up the good work. And it just goes to show you don’t need a big experience boat to catch fish. I fish off my 10 foot jon boat. And I do pretty good. Cheers bud 👍
I think it's a combination of his voice and overall demeanor but I love these videos, lakes are super nice and bassy too. As far as the baits good, it's all a money grab, the fish dont know how expensive the rod and reel we have or how much the lure was, its usually technique that catches em. Keep up the good work 💪
That's the exact same knot as I have been using all my life to tie swivels on the line and lures just like you my friend. My father taught me this knot when I was a kid. Amazing how half way across the world you are using the same knot. Thanks for the vids Jeremy Downunder
After watching you catch fish with a lego Chewbacca, I knew this would be easy for ya. You have convinced me that catching fish is more about lure presentation and casting accuracy then it is about the lure itself.
Love these vids, watching from London England. Looks so calm and peaceful there... I'm sure it's a nice way to spend a few hours even if you never saw a fish the whole time you were on the lake.
Ask and you shall receive thank you so much for showing me the set up your using to catch the big ones, me and my step son will watch this one with pure joy.
@NDYakAngler the next thing you've got to show me, is that whopper plopper 75, I picked one up a month ago, and I've only tossed it in a handful of times with luck once. I don't know if it's a straight retrieve bait or if I have to do slight twitches or pauses. Thank you again for the topwater video I and many have asked for. Hope you and your daughter have a great rest of your day, fishing videos and all.
If Steve Wallis is the Bob Ross of Camping you definitely hold the Bob Ross award for fishing. Your show has become my daily dose of peace and daydreams.
I bought one of these yesterday at Walmart....inflation hits, I had to pay $3...LOL. It's eyes fell off as I took it out of the package, but I glued them back on with UV activated glue. Looking forward to trying it out soon. The hook is definitely sharp! The brand name frogs were up to $9 each, so it's a pretty good deal for the money and at that price, if you snag and lose it.....oh well.
Dude... you can jus paddle around an i'd be happy to spend my time on your page... always sooooo tranquil ... thx so much for allowing us to tag along your lil excursions .. great stufdf BassMang 😎😎👍👍
It’s great how you review some of the cheaper brands of tackle, because a lot of those lures,rods,reels etc., are so grossly overpriced and we’re just paying for the name - like Shimano and Rapala etc., when there are so many out there that are just as good and half the price. 👍
This one was a winner in my book! I've had a couple people comment they leak water but mine seemed to keep it out as good or better than the live target frog. Who knows, maybe it was their first time frog fishing and they didn't realize you have to occasionally squeeze them out lol. For 1.94 I'd assume quality control might not be the greatest though so maybe I just got lucky and got a good one but I was really impressed with it! I grabbed a couple of the yellow ones too so maybe I'll have to give one of them a try if the bass are still hitting frogs and see if the performance is consistent.
Fishing is sometimes about outsmarting a fish, we throw out things that look like food to catch one. Running a business is about outsmarting consumers, they throw out the promise of more catches to get our money.
@@ndyakangler I suggest, that you test your knots for strenght. The one you tied here, but with only 4 turns, I have experienced 100% line strength with with a certain line. That is NOT good, because you risk the line breaking far from the lure, if you get a bottom hook, or if you hook a huge fish, and it might swim around with a long piece of line hanging, that even could snag something, and it would die from it - if things went really unlucky. I used to do all kinds of tests, to not leave anything to luck or guessing, and that made the rest of my fishing more relaxed. Best way to test knots, if identical hooks in both ends, and pull till one of them breaks. Also test different hooks - wire diameter also means something. To measure breaking strength, I used a bucket and filled with water, till the break, and then weighed the bucket. I don't have the energy to do videos, so feel free to use my input, if you like.
Just bought a fishing kayak about a week ago after watching your videos for some time. Went out for the first time yesterday on a small lake, and looks like we both had a good day yesterday catching some largies :) Sadly wasn't getting any topwater action aside from a few nibbles, but they were really interested in the jig with a lil craw trailer on it. Keep up the good videos!
I truly believe that it's not what you tie on the line but what you send down the line that gets the bites and you, Matt, are a master communicator! Can't wait for your next kayak adventure!!!
Proof you don't need to spend a lot of money for fishing gear. But what you do need to do is go where the fish are.... You need to know how and where to look for them.
Perhaps you should give making your own lures a go. I'd try concocting something made with clingfilm and aluminium foil. Smallies appear willing to eat anything that appears to have a pulse.
A lot of times it's not about "price". Although sometimes, it is. But not in this case. That $2.00 Frog was amazing! Great video as usual Matt. What's the name of the lake you were on here?
Dude, you’ve got a sick fishery and definitely a way with fish. I’m sure you could catch fish throwing just a hook. Heck, I bet you could catch fish throwing plain line out.
Great video once again. That’s awesome that $2 frog held up that well . Definitely my favorite TH-cam channel and my favorite kind of fishing. Thanks for taking us along
Great day frog fishing. Usually, the cost difference isn’t so much in materials and manufacturing but research and development and marketing. Without that cost it should retail for $2 if you think about it. There’s not much to it. Another fun video on a beautiful midwestern lake! Thanks!
I have the gym and a full work day ahead of me, But* I will always make time for your new videos and some coffee. Such a great way to start the day. Keep it up man 🤙
Bait price never matters. Of all my years fishing, ive caught bass on the strangest things. Ive caught bass with a floating peice of cardboard in the shape of a frog... they bite almost anything with the right action
Yes, and the hooks are larger compared to the body, so you get a better hook up rate. The only problem is there is a poor weight distribution so the lure flips to it's back alot when pulling it over lillies.
I love these cheap lil frogs they work just as good as the top brands. They are great for customizing them with small Colorado blades for feet or cut a buzztoads legs off and glue them to the back off the frog for being able to pause a buzztoad in the strike zone without sinking. Just be careful if you bend out the hooks cause they will snap off.
I wish they had a little more of a selection at my local store, it’s pretty much just jerkbaits and frogs. I’ll have to check out their website and find a few things they don’t stock here.
This frog definitely gets bit! I started frog fishing 3 years ago and this frog was 94 cents at my Walmart. I love how it's easy to walk, yeah the eyes fall off very quickly. The legs will eventually fall but I gotten like 15 fish for one frog until no legs. It floats perfectly horizontally unlike other more expensive frogs that then to sit more vertically with the back legs.
Absolutely AMAZING how many smallmouths one man can entice and land. Almost grow weary just watching. In fact I fell asleep watching and woke up with a chafed right thumb.
Well done sir, I envy your environs! Here in sunny Central California it gets pretty dang hot but we pull out a toad on the ol Walmart frog every now and then as well. Tight lines, and keep the videos coming!
Another relaxing morning (my morning) out on a Minnesota lake with you. Almost a week late as your video never showed up in my feature. Saturday morning is just as good as a Sunday morning, now this week, I'll be fishing 2 days in a row lol
Nice package, pretty colors, it'll catch fishermen for sure. I've used just a plain cork and bounced it around the lily pads and caught plenty of northerns.
You are the Bob Ross of fishing. Thanks for squeezing us all into your kayak and taking us with you.
I literally thought the same thing
I be watching his videos at night to fall asleep too, way too satisfying
"Let's give that bass on the stringer a friend, because you know, everyone needs a friend."

I have the gym and a full work day ahead of me, But* I will always make time for your new videos and some coffee. Such a great way to start the day. Keep it up man 🤙
"Will it catch fish?" Sounds like a great Playlist 🎉🎉
That hookset at 9:30 was awesome also👊
Bait price never matters. Of all my years fishing, ive caught bass on the strangest things. Ive caught bass with a floating peice of cardboard in the shape of a frog... they bite almost anything with the right action
I just started back into fishing after a long absence. Your style is very relaxing. Tightlines friend.
Yes, and the hooks are larger compared to the body, so you get a better hook up rate. The only problem is there is a poor weight distribution so the lure flips to it's back alot when pulling it over lillies.
I love these cheap lil frogs they work just as good as the top brands. They are great for customizing them with small Colorado blades for feet or cut a buzztoads legs off and glue them to the back off the frog for being able to pause a buzztoad in the strike zone without sinking. Just be careful if you bend out the hooks cause they will snap off.
Ozark baits are great. Thier lipless is phenomenal, and the swimsuits are great. Poppers, frogs- all really good quality for great prices.
Great vids!
I wish they had a little more of a selection at my local store, it’s pretty much just jerkbaits and frogs. I’ll have to check out their website and find a few things they don’t stock here.
This frog definitely gets bit! I started frog fishing 3 years ago and this frog was 94 cents at my Walmart. I love how it's easy to walk, yeah the eyes fall off very quickly. The legs will eventually fall but I gotten like 15 fish for one frog until no legs. It floats perfectly horizontally unlike other more expensive frogs that then to sit more vertically with the back legs.
A pleasant afternoon of fishing, picturesque as always!
Absolutely AMAZING how many smallmouths one man can entice and land. Almost grow weary just watching. In fact I fell asleep watching and woke up with a chafed right thumb.
Wow. Came to see if the frog worked. Stayed because it was so enjoyable. Great video!
Well done sir, I envy your environs! Here in sunny Central California it gets pretty dang hot but we pull out a toad on the ol Walmart frog every now and then as well. Tight lines, and keep the videos coming!
Another relaxing morning (my morning) out on a Minnesota lake with you.
Almost a week late as your video never showed up in my feature. Saturday morning is just as good as a Sunday morning, now this week, I'll be fishing 2 days in a row lol
I am absolutely impressed with your 2 dollar frog 🐸 heck of a day on the lake!
Absolutely beautiful sunset.
Great video!
I gotta tell ya, you could do vacation/tourism ads for your area. Based on scenery, water clarity and fishing in general. Love your videos.
Nice package, pretty colors, it'll catch fishermen for sure. I've used just a plain cork and bounced it around the lily pads and caught plenty of northerns.
Dude I can watch these videos all day... So relaxing! 🤘🏼
Awesome video! You give me Bob Ross calm fishing vibes lol.
Yes, I Catch fish with them!! I Love these frogs in ALL the Colors!!
