Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
I found it: a fishing youtube channel without a bunch of 20 year old men freaking out everytime they catch a fish or obnoxious ads. Such a chill channel, youve earned my sub!
I agree and he captures exactly what I like about fishing somewhere secluded in really enjoying nature. So many of these videos are ruined also with obnoxious music in addition to guys overreacting and acting the fool
Same
Same here!
God forbid young people actually enjoy fishing boomer
God Forbid people not wanting to watch jackasses screaming some “channel slogan” every time they catch a 12” fish.
This guy's voice and commentary... He's the Bob Ross of Kayak Fishing
Beat me to it.....I was thinking the exact same thing hahaha
I literally thought the same thing and looked straight at the comments to see if anyone else thought the same thing LOL
That's TOO FUNNY!!! But, exactly right!!!
I Was just going to comment that
Ikr
Best kayak fishing vids on YT. No Chick-Fillet, no goofy music, no road trip or gas station stops, just quality fishing with great tips.
Totally agree with you . All good stuff and no fluff .
What is it with these guys that think they need to show us their potty stops and music you can't here the peace and quiet that the fishing experience is really about...thanks, good fishn, and tight lines.
Yea I don't get that shit when TH-camrs show themselves waking up, getting into their truck, stopping for coffee etc. Like why do they think we care?
Hell yeah man. If a video starts with some stupid montage, I'm out. I like this guy's style
Agreed
My ex father in law was like “ you ain’t gonna catch nothing on that damn frog “ fishing lily pads in warrior river Alabama. A few minutes later splash boom bam !!!! I never seen an old man tie a frog on his line so fast in my life. The next fishing trip he had about nine different plastic frogs in his tackle box 2 of each.
Sounds like my stubborn ass grandfather...
If he had two of each he wouldn't have nine 😊
@@alanhuff3417 had about 9
Still could of said had about 8
Or 10
This channel is single handedly fueling my interest in fishing. You're so good at explaining every move, while letting the moment sink in. Cheers from Idaho.
Another Idaho fan here. Can't wait to get to brownlee and dwarshak for some ID smallest this year
I'm a 73 yr old floridian who loves bass fishing but can't much any more these days. so when the urge hits I head right to you!! Thx. Learned a lot and enjoy even more! I'd love to have a day on the water with you, but I guess this will have to do!! Keep at it, great job!
When I get stressed at work, I'm simply going to take a 15 minute break and rewatch this exact video. Serenity now!!!
@Mark Brophy this guys videos are great for relaxing and his catches are always great
He is the Bob Ross of fishing!
I would go with the Mr. Rogers of fishing
@@hoffa3130 Was just about to say the same damn thing. lol
@@duaneredman HAHA totally! I was just gonna post that but you beat me to it, great video!!
I really enjoy your videos, no BS at the start and you don't sound like a hyperactive child or a bro.
You're like the Bob Ross of fishing: very calming, appreciate scenery, and a master of your craft.
You may think your videos serve as just instruction. While getting ready for spring fishing I found I needed rotator cuff surgery. I have been able to feel as if I am on the water thanks to you. I can't even think about fishing till mid August yet. However, you have helped me to endure this whole thing a lot easier. Thanks bro.
Love it when the fish reels you in on a kayak.
I like how you actually catch fish in your videos. Too many people offering tips and tricks, lure advice and such, and they never seem to catch any fish.
At 9:46 , the Bob Ross of kayak fishing morphs into the Kool-Aid Man!
Barry P 😂😂😂
Matthew Weinhagen oh yeah
I was thinking this guy works for NPR as a news announcer lol!! Very peaceful video!
happy little frogs
Zach Meyer duff man out OH YEAH
Seriously blown away with how many heavy fish you catch. Video after video pig after pig. This has become my favorite channel. Things have come a long way from the days of Jimmy Huston making out with everything he catches on Saturday mornings. I could watch this for hours.
6’8 Medium Heavy ! Literally the first person I’ve seen use anything under a 7’3 Heavy Rod for frogging. I love learning the diversity of bass fishing!!!
What a gorgeous day of fishing. That lake looked like glass just peaceful spot. Great job Matt.
I’m kicking myself for not staying out there until it got dark! The last hour I was there they really started to get active. It was Sunday night though and I had a two hour drive home to get ready for work the next day. I think I’ll be back to this lake again though!
@@ndyakangler any chance you'd tell a minnesotan what part of the state this is?
Nio
@@jeepersmcgee3466 Up at the lake.
Takes me back to my teenage years of bass fishing w live frogs on southern Mn lakes.. Great fun!
Man , what a day you had here. I would kill for a day like that.
He makes it look so easy
3 YEARS OLD AND STILL GETTING NEW VIEWS. Great video. Beautiful Scenery and calm relaxing voice. I love horsing thos bass in over top of the lily pads! 🙂
that first little one, when you dropped him in he just kept an eye on you going down like "I am gonna remember you buster!" Ah the exuberance of youth.. Well it was a get trip.. enjoyed it immensely.. We have a place in Oregon that is like a mini Minnesota it is called the mink lake basin many many little lakes no roads (or it used to have no roads I am too old and it has become too far to hike through there any more ) It was great in my youth to set up a base camp and then spend days just hiking around and fishing these little spots..Well as always thanks so much for the share and carry on
Wow, I can’t thank you enough for taking me along for a beautiful day of fishing.
Thanks Matt !
I like that this fishing channel he’s not yelling at every singe fish and just screaming his head off. It’s nice and relaxing
Most genuine and friendly channel on TH-cam. These videos make me happy to be human.
Best kayaker not just in Minnesota but best kayaker is the world!
That frog lure brought in a few nice bass. I love the sound of the top water bite.
So much peace and calm where you're at I watch your videos while studying. Down here in South East Texas the reality of fishing is having to deal with people yelling at you from the shore to stop fishing their property or blowing air horns to get you to go away from their dock. I'd leave here if I could and come join you up north. Thanks for sharing your videos
As a nurse I watch this for my anxiety. Thanku 🇨🇦
11:50 that's my favorite catch so far from your entire series... That was awesome!!!
We absolutely love frog fishing!! Great tip to improve the hookup ratio!! Awesome channel 👊🏼
Very professional realease of the bass also 😉
I still can never get over how elaborate kayak set ups have become and how versatile they are at the same time. I love the hits on a frog! Best fishing there is
You make the best kayak fishing videos on youtube. I started kayak fishing this year and being in MN, the areas I fish are very similar. Thanks and keep up the good work. I've learned a lot from your videos this year and have been catching some great bass.
Thanks for the tip on how to adjust the frog, appreciate it, and i agree with the last comment, great to have a fishing video without half being wasted time!
There is no better conditions in fishing than lily pads, overcast day and top water plugs. I’ve caught hundreds in my life. Great video.
That is a sweet spot, definitely worth the hike I'd say...
The reason I bought a kayak.People ask why I did.I tell them to watch one of your videos.Awesome as usual
My favorite topwater lure of all times. Love the video and that place looks amazing 😍
Nothing less than phenomenal. Thanks for bringing us along. What a day. What a view.
I fish with frogs too. I love that most are weedless. I fish my canoe in Lake Berryessa in the Napa Valley in Northern California. Nothing gets Me in the flow like floating around and casting to the shore. Thanks for the vids, and keep the lines tight.
So glad I found this channel. It reminded me of Bob Ross. It was very exciting and calming at the same time. Perfect! I'm a subscriber.
Wow, that hook adjustment is gonna change my life.
One of the best fishing YT channels ever....but man, you seem to have some straight gold mine bass spots. super jealous.
Awesome bass, beautiful scenery, and great pointers. Well done!!!!
Always had trouble with the frog, thanks for the tips!
Wow bro your videos are very satisfying and relaxing, I’m a big angler and love watching those videos with editing and lots of action but I just happened to stumble on your vids and found your channel very straight forward, relaxing and refreshing. You got my sub brother thanks for sharing!
I love the way he releases bass. It’s so calming
Nice tips for the frog and way to put it to work on a beautiful lake! I love how the gills were nippin' at it and then that thick mama hammered it.
Dang, all of yall just said everything I've thought since I started watching vids on yak fishin!
AGREED 100%
I didnt come her to learn about a personal Life, came here to learn about fishin Life!
Those are some nice frog fish! We have a ton of ponds/lakes like that in New England too. We're lucky to live in areas with incredible natural resources!
Don’t understand why I hate fishing but I could watch this dude fish for days
Thank you explaining how to modify your frog. I have had trouble with my hookups. Can’t wait to try the mod out.
Bending the hooks out makes all the difference to me!
Really outstanding largemouth! You really have your technique down with that frog!
Holy smokes those were some nice fish!!! Great tips too! I lost my fair share of frogs and it got me rattled. Didnt even use them last year. Gonna try your tips when the lillys start coming in up here in Quebec. Keep up the great content! 🙌
That's a hell of a day of frog fishing. Healthy looking fish. Great video.
I never get tired of watching your videos. The places you go are just beautiful.
I always give up on frog fishing when I miss the hook set, I'm going to take your advise and give it another try. Thanks for another great video.
That’s a great day of fishing. My dad just bought me some frogs for Christmas. I can’t wait for a warm spring day to try them out here in Michigan. Great video as always. Love your channel.
Animated Brick Builders where u fish at?
@@coreyc7547 I'm in Michigan. Caught some nice bass this morning actually. Good luck out there and be safe!
Yea me too, trying to find some nice spots to fish at. Thanks u too
corey c I’ve been fishing Kent lake in Kensington. Have had some really good days and some clunkers over the past month.
Animated Brick Builders I just rode by there yesterday and was wondering could u fish out there, thanks
A Fly rod & Poppers would add to the thrills of topwater bassin' !
Good stuff Yaker !
FROG FISHING IS AWSOME, TOOK MY GRANDBOY FISHING TODAY AND TRIED FROG FISHING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 2ND CAST BOOM HOOK UP WITH A NICE BASS, THOUGHT IT WAS A SURE HOOK AND OUT COME THE FROG, BASS AFTER BASS THE WERE COMING OFF. GOING TRY THIS TIP HOPEFULLY THIS LAST TIME I MISS BASS WITH THE FROG. COOL VIDEO AND HELPFUL TIP
Love my Spro frog. Thanks for showing how to straight the hooks. I took missed a lot of fish with the current hook placement. No more
Keep the videos coming. I’m going to try the hook bending technique. Wish me luck.
So calm and entertaining
Started watching your videos a couple days ago over here in Bali Indonesia and cant stop. They are addicting with everything we want to see and none of the BS we dont...next best thing to doing it ourselves. First time I subscribed to anything on youtube. Thank you for the quality content!
Here’s what I like to do with working frogs
I’d cat onto the bank and drag it into the water Incase there’s any bass hiding on the bank
Or I give it a few seconds if it makes a big splash like if another fish took it then I start popping or walking it
And if a fish eats it and misses it I give it a few seconds before I start working it again
Frog lures are amazing. When I was a kid in the early 70s, my dad often used one, though they were quite a bit different in design back then, usually with a single weedless hook pointed down so there was never a missed hookup. I've had my troubles with hookups on the modern frogs, but just bought a new version that already has the hooks slightly exposed in the way you showed here, and I've been anxious to try that one. I might try your hook-bending trick on some of my other frogs. I've fished in small boats all my life and in the last 15 years have become an avid canoer and river-tripper, so I've switched to using solo canoes for the kind of fishing shown here. While using the single-blade paddle in a solo canoe has a very steep learning curve, it is satisfying and has the bonus of being incredibly silent. But that's a rare skill nowadays so I find myself looking at kayak videos just for the general mood of this kind of fishing, and this one captures that mood. Thanks a bunch.
I think your one of the best fisherman I've ever watched!!!
You absolutely kill it!
I really like your approach and release speed, no keeping the fish out of water forever like done other guys do!!!
Keep them coming, I watch your videos everyday,
Thanks for all the great videos!
Great video! Some quality fish there. Thanks for taking us along!
absolutely love your vids man..... keep at it!
Awesome vid. Thank you for sharing.
That braid squeal at 6:10 😍 music to my ears. Great video!
Thanks Matt great day fishing.
I hope I can be this good of a Kayak angler one day! Awesome to watch you fish man. I've getting some 2-3 lbers on my yak in the past month. I want to get some smallies tho!
That spot is absolutely beautiful! This may sound weird but you have a great calming voice LOL good fishing video!
Bob Ross of kayak fishing.
Incredible is right! 😲 That scenery! 😯 Those beautiful lily pads! 🐸 I love watching you fish! ❤🐟
Seeing you catch that big one just put the biggest smile on my face. Keep at it bud, you're smashing it.
Perfect lake for frog fishing, now I need to catch my first bass on a frog, never caught one on a frog
I've never even caught a Largemouth. I caught one smallmouth a long time ago and never forgot it!
How is EVERY video a damn banger!?!?! BANGARANG!!
I gotta tell ya these other guys on TH-cam always have some bs reason why they can’t get the catch on camera. Almost always the catch is off camera then they pull it in on camera. You get it all every time. The breach and all. Props for not BS’in us.
i’m so happy i found your channel 🎣 it brings me back to fond memories of growing up in Mn ❤️ and my secret honey 🎣 holes
Those blowups got my heart racing lol!
On my last frog I added 2 treble hooks, cut away the soft body, glued on some fresh balsa wood, painted it to look like a minnow, and attached a dive lip.
Wow! That was quite a sleigh ride at 9:45! So cool, that spot with the lily pads looks like topwater heaven.
The Bob Ross of fishing!!! Love the video man can’t wait to see more.
Beautiful lake. Was on my way out the door to work but I had to stay a few extra minutes to watch your video! Love topwater but I’ve never caught a fish with a frog.
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I’d be interested to know more about your trailer.
Thanks! It’s a Yakima Rack n Roll 66.
NDYakAngler gotcha, thanks
Looks like a great peaceful place with bass to boot! Nice video
That lake is absolutely gorgeous. Very jealous, thanks for all the great videos!
great vid. it's nice to watch one without all the buffoonery like others have.
WHEN HE CATCHES A BASS: o yes. WHEN I CATCH A BASS:YASSS I GOT A FRICKEN BASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
True haha
You should start one of those "Fall asleep to fishing" videos.
Such a soothing voice. I'd fall asleep to that.
It’s nice to watch you gently handling the fish,doing minimal damage to the fish,you sir are a fisher man!
Must be nice to live in a State where everyone has their own lake. Oh, btw...greetings from Connecticut. sigh...😉
ThatDamnedYankee too many people, not enough lakes haha. Minnesotan here :)
in oregon we have tons of lakes as well
Another top shelf video, my only complaint is that they are over too soon. Great job!
Thanks for the tip! You’re so right about the hook adjustment on the frog! I do that as well
I found your videos searching Kayak reviews. After just 2 minutes in I subscribed! Hands down the best kayak fishing videos.
I just used this frog technique yesterday. Really helped my hook-up ratio. Thanks!
You have the best fishing channel on TH-cam how do you not have 2mil + subscribers?!?!
I love love love top water frog fishing. I’ve always managed to get hits and hook ups. Really love any type of top water fishing.
I am a fly Fisher that mainly fishes for trout. However I could sit and watch your videos about bass fishing for hours without skipping any at all.
