And to echo what so many others have said: this channel is an excellent fishing channel because it's so peaceful, quiet, captures the actual feel and mood that most of us seek when we hit the water, and the host has a distinct Joy Of Painting approach to his narration. No spazzing out. No dramatic histrionics. Just happy little bass, and pike, and panfish.
Honestly, I just found this channel last weekend and instantly subscribed. The dude's voice could honestly be a part of ASMR therapy. 😂 It's just a chill, realistic fishing channel. Some of these dudes reel in a tiny largemouth start acting like they just won the Powerball and Mega Millions simultaneously. I don't get it. This dude is way more my speed.
Had my first ever topwater catch on a frog lure last weekend! Nothing quite like seeing that explosion on the surface, and I have your channel to thank for that experience. Keep it up! Best fishing channel on the platform, no doubt.
I know the feeling. Last summer I had a bass smash a whopper plopper which was my first fish ever on a top water lure. Last year was when I invested in my first bait caster rod and was really my first time experimenting with artificial lures at all really. Ever since then I’ve completely fallen in love with my bait caster and lure fishing in general. Been the most fun I’ve ever had fishing and I’ll probably never go back.
Its great seeing a guy kicking it old school. Working habitat that looks good, and listing to the sounds of nature. No electronics, no trolling motor, no forward facing sonar. Just old school fishing. Thanks.
Haa! 4:23 You know he's having a relatively nice day when he sets his first hook and the kayak start moving in that direction like something is pulling it. 😄👍
@vbros7 Matt is an amazing caster , if you think this is good & it is take a look at Gong Li from thailand. This guy can put a lure anywhere he chooses & he fishes in places such as the Amazon for all kinds if fish but this is just one part of a 4 part clip where he fishes for the Monster Black Bass . Best caster i have seen in many a long year & these bass are KILLERS !!! th-cam.com/video/zjwqgZe5b9Q/w-d-xo.html
I know! This guy is a fishin fool! He could probably go pro angler if he wanted too. Maybe he will with this channel? He makes it look way easier than it is imho.
This video in particular makes you feel like you’re the only person on earth fishing the spot. No signs of life, at least human life, anywhere just a man, his kayak and some froggy bass…so appreciate you. Thx.
Ordered my first kayak, a pilot 12, and it will be here in a few days. After borrowing a buddy's yak to fish out of, I knew it was for me. Thanks for the inspiration, don't think I would've ever thought to get into yak fishing without your channel!
I have owned five boats in my life, I never even considered a kayak until I started watching these videos. I will never go back to a boat, I have never caught so many fish as I do from my kayak, I love how easy it is.
Well that settles it, new vid got me thinking I must get out. It's raining, wish me luck. Love these vids, Bob Ross of fishing always delivers. Best fishing channel on TH-cam hands down.
You know it's a good day fishing when they are trying to jump into the kayak not to mention a fish in the tree! Love the perfect casts into tight spots and I also appreciate the tie-ups so we know you are human! :) Thanks for sharing your fishing trips!
It's great to get into Google Maps and find a new spot covered in water lilies and discover that it's a great spot for bass. This makes me relive my younger years on the Bullaque River. It was a continuous succession of water lily covered backwaters in summer. My father, brother and I would fish from the river bank and use a Boone brand plastic worm rigged with three hooks as a lure. We would move the worm vertically (jigging) into a small hole between the water lilies and a bass would immediately bite. Most of the time we had to get into the water to pull out the fish that got tangled in the vegetation. I remember one occasion when the worm got tangled in a reed suspended about 20 cm above the water. A bass jumped up and caught it! On another occasion I landed two bass that bit the lure at the same time. I also remember it was very effective to run a prop bait along the edge of the lily pads and watch the surface explode as the fish attacked the lure. Nowadays that part of the Bullaque River no longer has water lilies due to diffuse pollution from agricultural herbicides and also the bass have disappeared. A pity. I enjoyed the video a lot. Truly a dream day of fishing that takes me back to those blissful days...
Caught my best bass yesterday, probably 3 pounds🤙🏼 and also had my first 3 bites ever on a frog(missed all 3 but it was amazing) thanks to you dude! So much knowledge
If your missing a bunch on the frog, cut the “legs” so that they’re only an inch or so long. Then take a pair of pliers and bend the hooks about an 1/8 inch off the top of the frog. Your bite to hook up ratio will go way up.
@@smelltheglove2038are the legs the little pom pom looking things at the end? I had the same problem yesterday got multiple blow ups, let the fish run with the frog for a solid 4-5 seconds, but couldn’t hook ‘em up. Definitely gonna bend the hooks out a little more that’s a good idea.
@@Sage-vl3so yeah, the legs are like the rubber tassels. Some frogs have real legs, I don’t really like that kind. Your problem sounds like you’re just not setting the hook. Pull straight back when you see them take it. Dont pull sideways. You’ll pull it right outta their mouth.
All YT fisherman preach heavy rod for frogging but you're the only one I've seen not use a heavy rod when doing top water frog. I'm always amazed on the sizes you catch!
Man, I wish I was over there! I went fishing on one of my lakes down in SC on the 4th and missed 2 bass that I could've had. I did catch some yellow perch, a couple warmouths, and a nasty sunburn that is itching the crap out of me right now. I've learned once again that the beach is not the only place where the sun can cook ur skin.
Most folks won't try these spots with so much vegetation in the water so fun to watch you catch them bass your patience pays dividends love your channel!
best fishing channel on the tube... no blasting music no screaming no adds no talking about buy this buy that... just fishing we all can relate to... and calm voice and not to much talking.. thats awesome... keep it up brother... awesome videos as usual!
Oh, i like that very much. I ordered the same frog today at a asia online store for 3 bucks in a double pack and can´t wait to try to catch a fish. I also want to tell you that I think your videos are great. Your relaxed voice, a boat, beautiful lakes and fish. Keep going with that. Cheers!
Man what a good decision to hit the quiet spot. Loved the action about the 8:00 mark...had one blow up and pull the frog for a few seconds but came unbuttoned twisting up your line. At this point my cousin fishing with me would come unglued blaming his line or tackle just having a complete meltdown. I like to take the Matt approach...calmly untangle the line, check for nicks and cast right back in there. Bingo! Fish on!!! Cool as a cucumber 😎 brother. Blessings to you and thanks for taking us along
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BASSSSMANG! ! ! ! ! 👋🤓 4:45 man that is one beauty of a specimen right there.. 🥰 it seems that those fish havent been fished before which is a very good thing but, not being fished means they spook easily too .. great to see ur catchin 'em 😁 Was great to see you on a new spot 😎👍 take care an be safe dude 👋🤓
I’m guessing they don’t get fished much. I didn’t see a bunch of trash around the road there which sadly is almost a guarantee at spots that get fished.
I live in South Carolina there is no way I would go through high grass like that. I would be looking eye to eye with a gator 😳. Glad you had some luck. Keep on fishing.
I think Google maps is my number 1 fishing tool. I can use it to find access from the shore, and usually tell if the area will be totally weeded over in summer.
It is absolutely amazing the accuracy you posses with a bait caster!!!! I know it takes practice, but you GOT IT GOIN ON!!! Keep doing what you do my friend, Tight Lines all the way!!
Gotta love the little gems that pop up along roadsides. :) The Bob Ross of Fishing strikes again...! (No pun intended.) Another great video, as always; peaceful, beautiful, and fishy...!
I have been following you for a long time and I bought my first Kayak today. Yes, you are one of the motivators behind this. I never thought I would go kayaking myself, I have always been an angler but never off land. Let's see how this goes.
@@doodlesbykeems I have used my kayak, although limited. I think the limited amount of usage has only warmed me up and I don't think I have reached the full enjoyment yet. I like to be on my own so having a small kayak really does fit in with that as it is very transportable by a single person, it does not make any sound on the water so it keeps the tranquility of the environment and its size is just enough for myself and my own stuff. After my first tries the risk of flipping over has been more realistic as I have felt how a kayak moves in the water and reacts to your movements. This should be one of the considerations. If you don't like the idea of this it could be a negative and a boat would be more suited. Because you would always have to be prepared for a flipover in terms of water sealed bags, gear tied down at all times etc. Another consideration is personal as you should have some places in your mind where you can go kayaking. If you don't have a lot of different places to go ask yourself if you are going to get bored after a while using your kayak on the same waters. If you do have a broad range of waters then a kayak instantly turns into an exploring vehicle which is a big plus. I think fishing from a kayak is very niche and therefor very personal. My best suggestion would be to rent one or borrow one from a friend if you can. That will help make a decision.
Enjoy your videos sir! Only fishing 🎣 channel I subscribe to and really look 👀 forward to new videos. I sometimes go back and watch old videos and they excite me just like watching it the first time. Love the pike and musky videos.
It’s been a fun summer! I tried a ton of new spots this year! I struck out at a lot of them, probably winterkilled the last couple harsh winters, but when you find a new spot on the map and go out there and hammer some topwater bass it’s an awesome feeling!
Your channel is one of the reasons I got into fishing, especially kayak fishing and now I couldn't imagine not fishing. Love the videos, you're the best thing on TH-cam. Keep it up! @@ndyakangler
What a great video, Matt, that was some exciting frog action on that lily pad covered lake. I believe I could watch you work your magic with that frog for hours on end! Keep up the great content, take care and be safe!
Hey, Matt. Finding and fishing backwaters that I more or less stumble upon is truly my favorite kind of freshwater fishing. What a beautiful marsh you discovered; I'm glad you'll be going back. Tight lines! Chris (in Maine)
I’m sure it will become one of the spots I hit once or twice a year! I’d like to go back on a warm fall day, I bet they’d be in there when the sun is warming up that shallow water.
Thank You for the adventures, love how to present simple fishing. I am waiting for our rivers to slow down and recede so I can put my inflatable yak in. Another few weeks, it will be great. Again thank you for giving me the Joneses!
I went out and fished the river this evening. It was still flowing pretty fast and made it a lot of work fishing my way upstream but I was rewarded with a half dozen 18” smallies! August and September are the best though once the current slows down a bit.
That last one was nice. I'll be up in the U.P. of Michigan later this month and I will also be throwing frogs from a kayak. I love those $2 Walmart frogs - caught me many decent size largemouth fishing the same type of water you're fishing here. In fishing I can't think of many things that compare to a big top water bite and landing a big fish.
Nice brother. New location is always an upper especially if it's holding. Now you've got a froggin and whacky worm spot for the summer which is a great ace to have. Alot of shade for those bass in that pond area. Tight lines☀️🎣😎👌
I’m just glad I found a few fish there! I tried six different lakes like this one the past week or so and struck out everywhere else. Most of them had no signs of life so I’m guessing winterkill got a lot of those little pond spots.
@ndyakangler True. I'm up in Southern Ontario, Grand river mouth near lake erie and we didn't have much of an ice out this year. Maybe bass survived towards north or that small lake has some deeper holes. Glad you found a spot though👍. Hopefully will produce next year as well.
Have you ever had another fisherman want to fight you over his feelings regarding where and how you fish..? Keep in mind I have fished this spot for 30 years. Keep up the great videos.
Nothing quite that bad, I’ve had a few locals comment I’m ruining the spot by posting vids but I generally fish secluded spots where I don’t run into other people often. It’s becoming more common on the rivers I fish, either I’ll run into someone on the water or have someone pull up as I’m loading or unloading my kayak and tell me they enjoy my videos so I guess a few people are doing some detective work on the spots I fish lol. The only time I’ve experienced someone harassing me in person was last summer some guy pulled up as I was getting my kayak unloaded and tried telling me I couldn’t launch off the bridge that runs through his fancy neighborhood.
What a video! Crystal clear footage, superb weather and awesome location, we don't get bass here in Western Australia but we can pretend with red fin perch
Beautiful place to pitch a frog! I’d throw a river mouse their little twirly tails over the mats and slop we had some good top water blasts! Tight lines!
That is a great spot to fish. You certainly have some fantastic bodies of water to fish in your area. Great fishing and beautiful scenery with clear water.
MATT! DUDE! This one kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time man! Sneaking into a new spot...getting fish after fish...seeing the wake on the second bit (that was pretty damn cool). The birth of a new fishing hole is always fun to watch and NOW I have The Doors' "Break On Through" stuck in my head all day...thanks for that. lol We need to get you a small prop on a cordless drill to SHOOT you across those open bits of water...can you say viral moment? As always, but especially this time, GREAT content Matt. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you sir.

It's his soft sultry voice. Like the Bob Ross of fishing
The fish are trying to get big on TH-cam.

Love that spot, so beautiful and peaceful, redwing blackbirds singing and good fishing.
This is what no pressure fishing looks like. Love it!
Gotta respect that he's fishing a cheaper frog that doesn't have an affiliate link available. Great video yet again!
These videos are my #1 mental health provider.

Watching your videos is like watching Bob Ross paint. So relaxing! So much information. So much fun to watch!
how he releases the fish has this elegance to it that no other channel has.. it keeps me coming back
Picture perfect definition of a “froggy” lake. Another great video
love watching you fish i have heart trouble dont get out much going for sergery soon thank you al capolongo
Truly appreciate no electronics since most channels only fish with them…might as well play video games instead, folks! Thank you, Matt!!! Great find!!
Nothing better than missing a fish casting in the exact same spot and INSTANTLY getting that bite 😎
Well that settles it, new vid got me thinking I must get out. It's raining, wish me luck. Love these vids, Bob Ross of fishing always delivers. Best fishing channel on TH-cam hands down.
I saw the notification and clicked on it as fast as I could
Hey, has got you addicted too lol 😆
It's nice to see some less expensive lures catching fish.😊
Couldn’t function without this channel 💯

At the 12:42 mark, that’s just master class bass fishing right there.. love it.
Love the discovery of this little lake. Nice video!

That is the one positive of our 40 below zero winters. 🤣 No gators or venomous snakes!

Great video as always. You remind me of me when I look at a body of water and think "man that looks froggy!"
the bob ross of fishing...love this channel.
Have you ever had another fisherman want to fight you over his feelings regarding where and how you fish..? Keep in mind I have fished this spot for 30 years. Keep up the great videos.
Nothing quite that bad, I’ve had a few locals comment I’m ruining the spot by posting vids but I generally fish secluded spots where I don’t run into other people often. It’s becoming more common on the rivers I fish, either I’ll run into someone on the water or have someone pull up as I’m loading or unloading my kayak and tell me they enjoy my videos so I guess a few people are doing some detective work on the spots I fish lol. The only time I’ve experienced someone harassing me in person was last summer some guy pulled up as I was getting my kayak unloaded and tried telling me I couldn’t launch off the bridge that runs through his fancy neighborhood.
What a video! Crystal clear footage, superb weather and awesome location, we don't get bass here in Western Australia but we can pretend with red fin perch
Two spots in one, bonus!.Your videos never disappoint by any means. 💪💪
These vids always make you wanna get out in a kayak and go fishing!
Love your channel man, so calming and peaceful. tbh best videos to watch at night. Keep it up 👍
Great fishing out there Matt. Maybe I’ll invest in a small army of Walmart frogs lol.
Put that frog in the same exact spot on follow up casts on multiple occasions. Amazing casting.
Lol that bass trying to jump back in "WAIT I WANT AN AUTOGRAPH!!!"
Beautiful place to pitch a frog! I’d throw a river mouse their little twirly tails over the mats and slop we had some good top water blasts! Tight lines!
Great use of Google maps, great video. Thank you for all the work of making them
I love the frog! Over here its mainly good for pike. Some great action. We also add a extra hook on the bottom of the frog.
Love to see the old paddle in use.
That is a great spot to fish. You certainly have some fantastic bodies of water to fish in your area. Great fishing and beautiful scenery with clear water.
At 0:40 you see the fishing kayak that inspired me to build my own fishing kayak. We can go where the big boat boys can only dream to go!
You make my days and get me out fishing thank you so much
Those Lilly Pad flowers should be attracting stuff the Bass like to eat, it's no wonder you hear stuff splashing around in the middle of them.
😄👍
MATT! DUDE! This one kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time man! Sneaking into a new spot...getting fish after fish...seeing the wake on the second bit (that was pretty damn cool). The birth of a new fishing hole is always fun to watch and NOW I have The Doors' "Break On Through" stuck in my head all day...thanks for that. lol We need to get you a small prop on a cordless drill to SHOOT you across those open bits of water...can you say viral moment? As always, but especially this time, GREAT content Matt. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you sir.
Looks like Florida water with all the lily pads! Beautiful lake!
