I will never understand why this guy does not have a million subscribers. It is the most exciting and relaxing fishing show ever. I just love river fishing and he does it so very well and the constant sound of that water running can just put me to sleep.
The next video I’m going to work on editing was at this same stretch of river, doing pretty much the same thing wade fishing my way upstream but it’s going to be a long video I caught a ton of fish that day!
Who would dislike this video? All the perfect people who’s expectations are unattainable I guess? Love the pureness of nature and fishing from a kayak you capture 😃
Awesome fishing spot with beautiful scenery. Fairly jealous of the spots you have up there! Keep the videos coming I enjoy living vicariously in your scenery.
Great Video! I used to fish simi pro tournaments but now all I do is dishing rivers and creeks here in Arkansas for smallies. I had forgotten how much fun fishing was. It’s not work any longer, it really fun
The bites underneath the grassy bank and the one in the pile of dead wood are 2 of the most awesome bites I've ever seen. Your channel is underrated :P
that spot is pristine..your a lucky man. watchin you pluck those smallies from that creek was great next time i see a guy fishin a creek here i will not question it..
Awesome reminds me of a Big Creek I used to Fish when I was a Teenager here in WVA Had Smallies like that in every Hole you came to . It is a Wildlife Management Area now only accessible on Foot or Kayak and I hear the Hybird Bass they stocked years ago took over and there hardly ANY Smallies there now . Thanks for bringing back some very Fond Memories for me from my Youth . Keep on Fishin Dude Love your Videos
Me: there's absolutely no way he pulls a fish out of an inch of water like that. Sure enough there's a 2lb smallie hidning right underneath some grass lol
I knew there would be one hiding under that grass! Last year when the water was about 6" higher there were a bunch of them hanging out in that creek. They must like the cool water flowing through there, it's probably 10 degrees cooler than the river water.
Epic day as always, Matt! I still can't believe how wild this river is, to think a chunk could be in 3 inches of water in a small creek! These days must be like you are in paradise!
It was an awesome day! Those smallies really like hiding under the grassy banks on this river. It's a blast fishing them out of those spots too when you can just drop the jig in front of the grass and you see a nice smallie dart out and slam it! I did pretty well on this trip but the fishing will only get better for the next 4-6 weeks. I can't wait to hit this spot again in September when they're in fall feeding mode!
Great video. I really enjoyed it. I’m in Indiana and we share the same name, as well as a love of smallmouth bass fishing. I can’t wait for your next video. I just subscribed to your channel so I won’t miss it.
Casts are always on point, and I like how you just keep it simple and just go fishing there’s not many Channels that have that now keep doing what your doing..... honestly, I would have never thought that you would pull a fish out or that shallow of a creek😂
Love the bitsy bug jigs. Headed up to vt 2moro. "13 hr drive" we have a camp and property up there. Always do some trout fishing while I'm there but this year taking all of my bass gear. Hoping to hit the smallies pretty good while I'm there. The bitsy bug in a variety of colors is definitely in my Arsenal
none of the rivers i wade would be good in a kayak or boat but i sure like the consistent size of your fish,,chunky smallies up your way,,we gotta do alot sneaking to get in on big smallies but they can be monsters coming up out of slot limit protected Dale hollow lake you never know what you might hook into if their over 6 or so its usully downstream freight train and hope your hooks dont bend,,but im ultralight everyday,,getting too old to wade these dangerous rivers or fast fall areas,, and its hard for two to get in close unless the water is perfect like 10 minutes into a thunderstorm,,that can be great and a bit dangerous in the right river.
It’s a St Croix Legend Tournament bass rod, but I believe they quit making that short one a couple years ago. I’m not thrilled with their current LT lineup, they did away with the three 6’8” casting rods I’ve always used which two need to be replaced after years of river abuse but I don’t want to send them in when they don’t make anything under 7’ any more.
i was curious to what time of day you r fishing and weather or not its a huge factor? my bro and i seem to only be able to get out mid afternoon which sucks haha
Hi NDYakAngler. Another impressive video!! That stream smallie was amazing. I hope I can trouble you with a few questions. This spring I am buying a kayak. I narrowed it down to an Old Town Predator or a Tarpon 120. I have decided on the Tarpon 120 because it is much lighter and sleeker and I don’t plan to stand much to fish. My question is about paddling upriver as you have described in your videos. I like that idea because it avoids the need for a shuttle. I live in southwestern Ontario and the river I fish the most looks quite similar to the one in this video. It has some areas with class 1 and 2 rapids. I have been wade fishing the river for 3 years and I have never seen anyone paddle upstream-everyone seems to drift downstream. I was wonder how difficult paddling upstream is in the rivers you fish? How often do you have to get out and pull your kayak along the shore? What distance are you able to paddle upstream and in what sort of time? I am just trying to get an idea if this would work in my local river. Thanks! Sorry for the long comment.
Cruising speed for me in my kayak is about 4.5mph. The rivers I fish the most flow at 1.5-2mph so if I'm just paddling upstream I can cover 2.5-3 miles in an hour. I stop and fish a lot though so really I could spend all day working my way 5-6 miles upstream. I think the farthest I've ever paddled upstream was about 8 miles. I don't have any experience with paddling upstream against any real rapids but I'd imagine you'd probably have to get out and pull the kayak through some of those spots. The areas I have to hop out and pull the kayak through are spots where the current speed picks up because it gets really shallow and rocky. The main problem I have is that it's too shallow to get a good paddle stroke in without smacking rocks with my paddle. I'd recommend bringing a 4-5ft piece of rope or anchor line you can pull through the front handle with a carabiner on the other end you can attach to your belt, it makes pulling the kayak through those spots so much easier.
I will definitely get a pull rope and carabiner. It will take some time to figure out how best to fish the river in a kayak but it will be a lot of fun. Looking forward to it! Thanks for the info.
I was using 10 or 12lb Trilene Sensation. This video is from a few years ago so I can’t remember which but I’ll generally use 12lb for jig fishing on the river these days.
I haven't done a rod/reel arsenal video but I have all the St Croix Legend Tournament rods 6'8" and shorter, both casting and spinning, except for the 6'8" ML spinning. I run Abu Revo MGX reels on all the spinning rods and Quantum Smoke SL100HPT reels with aftermarket carbon fiber handles on all the casting rods.
NDYakAngler hmmm.... Never tried it... Blacks my go to for night fishing and overcast, but that's mostly for largies. I'm hesitant to hit my Smallie creeks or river up with impending rain... The creek specifically gets crazy quick.
This is so counter-intuitive for me. Crystal clear shallow water in daylight, I would have put on something more realistic looking, like a minnow jerkbait or swimbait, but I guess the black jig wins the day. Well done!
Awesome video! Reminds me of wade fishing for shoalies down here in Georgia. How are you capturing audio while wading? Are you using your zoom H1 mic? I like GoPro with head mount for wading but audio is awful, as I'm sure you know.
Thanks Scott! I use an ATR-3350 lapel mic mounted on top of the GoPro and run that to the H1 to record audio. The Hero 5 I've been using this year has much improved audio quality over the previous generations of GoPros but the lapel mic still does a little better job.
NDYakAngler That's helpful to know, thanks! One other question if you don't mind. What is your approach to synching audio and video tracks in editing? Premier Pro? Plural Eyes? Manual?
I use the multi track editor in Adobe Audition to sync and trim the audio clips manually. I'll make a copy of the final video with the stock GoPro audio and strip the audio from that video to use while making the replacement audio track so I have something to visually line up all the H1 clips. Once I have the replacement track done I'll go back and mute all the GoPro audio in my video editor, toss in the new audio track, then I'm ready to export a finished copy of the video.
I’ve never done any tournaments but I have fished Mille Lacs in my kayak a handful of times and did pretty well there. I’ll have to watch for a calm day and get back out on the big lake.
ok cool i was gonnna buy a intex mariner 4 raft it has a folding floor and holds a ton of gear really its for 2 people but should be enuff for me my rods and a cooler i can stand in it has folding floor and i can just toss it off my jeep have it preinflated
NDYakAngler wow that’s great to know. I always do large mouth bass fishing but I never get any big ones and seeing all these small mouth looks fun mind telling me a good spot for smallmouth please?
cant wait to hit river whenever it recedes . biggest bass i;ve seen in 4 inches of water was no deeper than a banana maybe 7 inch lol prob catch em on a 1 inch grub if ur a 1 inch man
Thanks! I've though about guiding but if I start bringing people who live around here to my favorite spots they'd probably become regulars there. A big part of the reason I have so much success is because these spots don't get much pressure.
Great video! If it was me, I would get snagged on the first cast! How do you avoid getting the jig snagged on all those rocks? Or do you just edit that out?
Your video's are SO on point, Thanks for taking me along! I've become obsessed with river Smallies after breaking my PB last year, and again this year, still seeking to land a 20". They have been my favorite fish since I was a kid though, they're just so wild. I've learned some new techniques as well watching your vids, your clear heat shrink trick on the Senko is the bomb. Can you share why you use a worm hook and not a wacky style hook? Thanks again for putting out the best fishing vids out there!

You are truly unreal, mate... LOL At the 9:50 mark, I said to myself "If he pulls something out of that shallow water, I'll eat my boots." LOL Guess it's leather for dinner tonight. Well done; nothing but love for this channel...!!! 😎
Thanks Randy! I'm from Fargo too, this spot is a quick drive into Minnesota lakes country. The MGX reels are great, I've been running a few of them for the last couple seasons and haven't had to do much maintenance to them to keep them working like new. The only thing I'd recommend keeping an eye on is the allen screw that holds the body of the reel to the stem, I've had them loosen up a couple times.
Many, many summers ago, in a 6 week period in Northern Wisconsin I was able to perfect this same pin-point casting accuracy w/my Mitchell 300 & St. Croix rod. On the day I arrived @ camp, I found an Arbogast Frog-Jitterbug sunk in the shore mud. I dug it out & it was my go-to lure the whole 6 weeks! Under an osprey nest I was lucky enough to tie into a few nice largemouth, but only 2 years ago did I ever catch my 1st smallie....I'll be 76 in Feb.
Your still my favorite TH-cam fishermen . Always love watching you videos, so relaxing to watch. Keep rippin them lips brother. Keep the videos coming.
I said; "If he actually catch something in 1ft of creek water I'm going to lose it" [He caught one]..... SMH....... I suck at fishing..... I am retiring now.....
Phenomenal man!!! I love how chill you narrated the whole vid and every video u upload! Great advice also “as you go”. U are brave man, straight up fearless when it comes to casting in rocks, bushes, trees, banks and even shallows... i would never have tried!!! Lol u opened my eyes man, i see and learned there are a lot more places i need to be lookin into and casting towards! U earned another subscriber brother! Respect ✊🏼💯
I absolutely love when they get their "fighting colors" on. Those lines show up on them and it gets me all giddy. They're SO beautiful!
I will never understand why this guy does not have a million subscribers. It is the most exciting and relaxing fishing show ever. I just love river fishing and he does it so very well and the constant sound of that water running can just put me to sleep.

Your casting accuracy continues to blow my mind. Insane the water depth you were pulling those pigs out of
Its amazing to me how those huge smallies can blend into that shallow water! Pound for pound they have to be the strongest fighters. Good video, Matt!
Awesome fishing spot with beautiful scenery. Fairly jealous of the spots you have up there! Keep the videos coming I enjoy living vicariously in your scenery.

Hey Matt: OMG your videos just get better and better; I didn't think that was possible.
Thanks Larry! It will be hard to beat this trip!
do fishing days like this even exist? This is insane. Great video.
There is no better fishing channel than this!! My ride or die!!
I got slapped once in a bar for saying, "come get my jig...," Like you said early on. Great video!
Watching this with my 5 year old.... he says "Nice fishin' buddy". Very cool!
Awesome video man! Nice chunks especially in such shallow water! Making me miss summer!
nice job bro
Me: there's absolutely no way he pulls a fish out of an inch of water like that.

That was amazing thank you so much for sharing this I'm going to kayak up my local small river and try this out.
I have been binge watching these for about 2 weeks now hahahah I wish I would have found you sooner! awesome videos
I enjoy your smallie videos, and loved the wading.
“This time it happened to be my jig” 😂😂😂
Casts are always on point, and I like how you just keep it simple and just go fishing there’s not many Channels that have that now keep doing what your doing..... honestly, I would have never thought that you would pull a fish out or that shallow of a creek😂
This is your best video imo..it's just something you have to see to believe...thanks for the education..👍
Just started watching your channel last night! WOW!! Keep it up.
10:00 are you kidding? What is that, 6"-8" of water? Amazing. 😳 Love all your videos but this one is exceptional!
Man. These videos make me want to visit north Dakota and Minnesota.
Amazing Catching fish!
Amazing movie once again. Thank you.
Great video ! one of my favorites that I have watched many times. This river must be nearly untouched by other anglers id say :).
Love your videos and your channel is GREAT!!

I will never look at grass line the same ever again ! 😳😳 who would have thought such a place would hold such a large bass
Great vid bro
Your like a surgeon with that rod and bait. The bass are like 5-0 waiting at a speed trap under the bank
none of the rivers i wade would be good in a kayak or boat but i sure like the consistent size of your fish,,chunky smallies up your way,,we gotta do alot sneaking to get in on big smallies but they can be monsters coming up out of slot limit protected Dale hollow lake you never know what you might hook into if their over 6 or so its usully downstream freight train and hope your hooks dont bend,,but im ultralight everyday,,getting too old to wade these dangerous rivers or fast fall areas,, and its hard for two to get in close unless the water is perfect like 10 minutes into a thunderstorm,,that can be great and a bit dangerous in the right river.
Another great video! You certainly know your smallies. Maybe some day we will see you catching those hogs on a fly.
Love your videos
No smallmouths down in South Florida for me, but they're such a beautiful fish.
this was a lot of fun to watch
I would like to know where you got that fishing rod. I have looked everywhere I know and cannot find a 5'10" medium with extra fast. I want one.
It’s a St Croix Legend Tournament bass rod, but I believe they quit making that short one a couple years ago. I’m not thrilled with their current LT lineup, they did away with the three 6’8” casting rods I’ve always used which two need to be replaced after years of river abuse but I don’t want to send them in when they don’t make anything under 7’ any more.
@@ndyakangler oK, thanks.
Great video
Great video. Talk about skinny water!!
i was curious to what time of day you r fishing and weather or not its a huge factor? my bro and i seem to only be able to get out mid afternoon which sucks haha
Great video.When it is that shallow why not fly fish for the bass. It's a blast.

I was using 10 or 12lb Trilene Sensation. This video is from a few years ago so I can’t remember which but I’ll generally use 12lb for jig fishing on the river these days.
thats heavy line on a spinning reel but I will consider it. Nice video thank you for the reply. I was thinking a braid 20 pound 6pound diameter
What river is this and what state. I love the video
Can you comment on your setups ? I want to find the reels and spinning rods . Thanks . Great videos I truly enjoy them .
I haven't done a rod/reel arsenal video but I have all the St Croix Legend Tournament rods 6'8" and shorter, both casting and spinning, except for the 6'8" ML spinning.

Did you have overcast skies to be using the black? Gorgeous river and smallies.

Wow !!!! Seems like u know alot bout smallies, do u do any smallie competition at millacs ..?
I’ve never done any tournaments but I have fished Mille Lacs in my kayak a handful of times and did pretty well there. I’ll have to watch for a calm day and get back out on the big lake.
Nice smallies
Is that the original skirt on the bitsy bug? Or replaced?
It’s the original skirt.
Where is this?
You could catch a 20 inch Smallmouth in my aquarium behind the plastic weeds.
Nice fish
They fight like tiger fish.
Did anyone else notice how the color of the fish's lateral bars changed between 5:03 and 5:45, just from being out of the water?
Damn I'm jealous!
What month was this ND?
I believe it was in August.
@@ndyakangler Thanks ND!
That's would be so much fun on my fly rod!
Don’t know where you’re from but I’m coming to visit
awesome!!!
ok cool i was gonnna buy a intex mariner 4 raft it has a folding floor and holds a ton of gear really its for 2 people but should be enuff for me my rods and a cooler i can stand in it has folding floor and i can just toss it off my jeep have it preinflated
Those are prime fly rod waters my friend
thumbs up!!!
What state
I do most of my fishing in Minnesota.
NDYakAngler wow that’s great to know. I always do large mouth bass fishing but I never get any big ones and seeing all these small mouth looks fun mind telling me a good spot for smallmouth please?
cant wait to hit river whenever it recedes . biggest bass i;ve seen in 4 inches of water was no deeper than a banana maybe 7 inch lol prob catch em on a 1 inch grub if ur a 1 inch man
Location for a he river
Dude what a great video ..have you ever thought about becoming a fishing guide???? that fish was on 2 inches of water man crazy!!!!!
Thanks! I've though about guiding but if I start bringing people who live around here to my favorite spots they'd probably become regulars there. A big part of the reason I have so much success is because these spots don't get much pressure.
NDYakAngler pressured fish are no fun.
@yourleftnut1 what a snake. exaclty why i do not spot share
Great video! If it was me, I would get snagged on the first cast! How do you avoid getting the jig snagged on all those rocks? Or do you just edit that out?
Your video's are SO on point, Thanks for taking me along! I've become obsessed with river Smallies after breaking my PB last year, and again this year, still seeking to land a 20". They have been my favorite fish since I was a kid though, they're just so wild. I've learned some new techniques as well watching your vids, your clear heat shrink trick on the Senko is the bomb. Can you share why you use a worm hook and not a wacky style hook? Thanks again for putting out the best fishing vids out there!
Thanks man! Chasing river smallies is my favorite way to spend a day! I seem to get a better hook up ratio with those EWG hooks. The Gamakatsu hooks I use are made with some pretty thin gauge wire and don't have too big of a barb so they're great for getting a good hook set with the 10lb mono I have on most of my reels.
Not to long ago I caught a 19 3/4 " Smallie, I was surprised because it was only my 3rd ever smallmouth.
@@babysardines101 FINALLY landed a 20” 5 years ago👍🏻👍🏻Haven’t broke 19” since, but sure having a lot of fun trying🎣
Absolutely beautiful scenery it helps watching ur videos these cold winter months in illinois
wow dude great video. Beautiful river and accurate casts as always. The grassy bank and fish in the fallen tree where both amazing catches.
Legendary stuff~
Amazing smallmouth water right there, you sure have their number too... awesome video!
Unreal fish with beautiful surroundings. I need to come up there with my yak and try that out.
This is some quality video, one can learn a lot from it.
I love them bitsy jigs 👍 use em all the time
Wow those are some chunks! I can only wish I had water like that to fish. I guess ya just gotta adapt to what's around you. Thanks for sharing it.
You are truly unreal, mate... LOL At the 9:50 mark, I said to myself "If he pulls something out of that shallow water, I'll eat my boots." LOL Guess it's leather for dinner tonight. Well done; nothing but love for this channel...!!! 😎
Picking the one out of the fallen trees at about 12 minutes. Killer way to hunt him up! 🎣
Guy...your on point all the time with these vids. I even went out and got me the same reel you have and im loving it. Keep up the awsome vids homie!
By the way i use to live in fargo and moorhead back when i was 18yrs old my first boy was born in Fargo.is this river around that area?
Thanks Randy! I'm from Fargo too, this spot is a quick drive into Minnesota lakes country. The MGX reels are great, I've been running a few of them for the last couple seasons and haven't had to do much maintenance to them to keep them working like new.

Awesome wish I was wading right with you awesome place beautiful 👍🎣
Very cool place got some close to it but the fishing not as good 👍🎣
I wake up every morning and drink a cuppa coffee watching these videos of almost made me late for work a couple times :-)

You sir are a truly skilled fisherman. Thank you for specifying the tackle you use for the hunt too.
Without any question, this movie rocks... amazing river, great fish, cool stalking :-)
Thanks! This trip was a blast! In another month or so when they start feeding up for fall this spot will be incredible!
