Freddy’s legs remind me of watching a muskrat’s locomotion. I’d eat it! Thanks for taking us along Matt! More excellence. I echo what another sub said earlier - thanks for saving some summer for us! I like that your winter content includes both hard water and spillway action but also summer stuff you saved for us. I wish you could catch carp without the requisite slaughter. That would be fun to watch.
As an avid fly fisherman, I got my start fishing for trout and salmon in Anchorage and the on Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, years and years of short seasons and great stories for each one, but I can honestly say that after moving and fishing other states that Smallies are by far the absolute best target fish. Day's of catching 15" to 18" smalls, is what I want in my retirement. Thank you for all the great content you share with us. Best wishes on another phenomenal season of NDYakAngler!
I enjoyed it for sure, thank you for bringing us along🤩👍💯! Awesome action, amaized how calm you are! Keep them videos coming! Got here new subscriber fisherman all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐
I was just imagining you dragging your kayak up on the stage of the bass masters classic with freddy the frog 🐸 lol your Mr Rogers interview on stage would be epic.
Howdy everyone! Best video intro ever!!! I always look forward to hearing you start your videos with the best greeting “Howdy everyone!” Thank you for the great videos!!!
Finally going out fishing tomorrow , the wind here in Iowa has been horrible the past couple weeks . This channel has kept me from going nuts this last winter .
11 minutes of fishing is just a painful tease to me! I'd love to see Matt include us on a Live feed fishing trip one day. Catching fish or not it would be a very enjoyable outing to watch.
Always a pleasure to come along. If you haven't tried it before you should give Westin swim a try it's an amazing simple long lasting lure for pike you can get it in 10-12cm 31-54gram the lure has a nice gliding action with a steady retrieve. Without question the lure me and my friends caught most fish on, would love to see it in action on some smallies 🤞
That first Freddy the Frog fish was an absolute beauty! Great way to start, indeed. Thanks for all your content, Bruh. I learn from you. Gonna be looking for Freddy. TLF
Of course it is a good bait, It's from Sweden. Or at least the brand original was from here, started with Ingvar Westin from Gävle back in the 50's who made a famous wobbler called Westins Jätte (giant in eng), still one of the best bait for big pikes, great slow roling action.
Man I love this guy,I’m getting a beginner kayak soon to get me used to kayaking before I set sail on my Navarch of the seas setup I was hoping to make
Man I really enjoy your videos....I'm gonna be a new owner soon of a fishing kayak....be safe ...and thank you for your videos...very enjoyable....thanks.again
What is now called a...pike minnow.. in Oregon, was called a squawfish, from the chub family, at least it looks like a big chub. I live in Oregon now and am not aware of any....Northern Pike here.
Thank you Matt for that quick knot tip. I’ll be using that one here and there. I know a few other knots as well. I like your videos. Keep up the great work. Daniel 🙂
I also use the trilene knot and through the eye of the lure twice- but I only wrap 3 times around! I used to do 5 wraps, but dropped to 3 and discovered the knot never failed- usually the line will break above my leader if I snag,, but never the Knot.
This lure with a wire leader, and slow troll it close to the bank would absolutely slay pike up here I imagine. I’m going to try it. Nice video, thanks for posting
Appreciate you putting this compilation of Freddy the Frog 🐸 as an equal opportunity multi species weapon. I'd have taken a swipe at the feog if he ventured into my territory. Unless you've been around shooting footage for a fishing show sometimes it gets lost in the effort put in. Many thanks for taking us along Matt. Blessings
I remember you talking about your net in the last video- the savage gear rubberised net is really good. I used it for all my pike fishing. Great big net that folds in half with extendable handle. Super strong. And good for big fish
One question friend, why do you never go out for walleyes ? I am from Germany and sometimes I go for Zander (Walleye), I know the Walleyes in Europa are becoming bigger(sometimes much bigger) but I know also that are really a lot in North-America
Walleye are the most popular fish people target in my area. I just don’t find walleye fishing all that exciting. It doesn’t help that the dozen or so times I’ve fished specifically for them I haven’t had much luck but they like conditions that are tough for me to film in too, after dark or when the wind is blowing chop and my kayak around.
@@ndyakangler o.k. You are correct I didn t think about that, late evening and night is not the best time for a video 😁 But I tell you the biggest one I ever caught I got in a sunny afternoon, about 7 Kg he was so strong pulling me in my canoo a full round on a big comercial channel until he became slowly tired Thank you for your answer and Petri Heil
Here in Northern Kansas it's juuust warm enough for bass to be in either prespawn or spawn. They're pushed up in the shallows. Caught my first one of the year about a week ago, and then caught 6 more over the course of this week. Leaving my house after I watch this video to hopefully get a couple more. Stoked for bass season, I really haven't figured out the winter fish pattern.
The first time I unboxed the biggest Freddy the frog from mtb, I went to the lake casted a few out there , then it broke off during a cast and was sent a distance away from me on shore. So the next day I went down the lake and there it was Freddy washed up too shore. Not a cheap lure.
Where was this? I'm right on the MN/ND line and hoping to get my feet out under me starting fishing. If you don't want to give exact locations any good spots fishable from shore would help tremendously ^^ thank you!
I’m more used to fishing casting gear now. To me it feels more sensitive and solid than a spinning setup due to the line connecting to a more central solid part of the reel. On a spinning reel any slop in the bail arm, spool, spool shaft are going to reduce sensitivity somewhat. The big thing though is that I can operate a casting reel one handed by thumbing the handle or the drag star with my rod holding hand enough to keep slack out of my line while my other hand is on the paddle as I’m maneuvering the kayak. I miss far fewer fish with casting gear when they hit as I’m making a corrective paddle strike like that, and it happens pretty often.
If you dont mind me asking what was the air temp/water temp when fishing in this video? I can never seem to catch any fish here in upstate ny i have tried everything. It seems impossible lol
I remember once going down to my local fishing pond one day and in one corner there were hundreds of very large frogs (they might have been toads) mating and the pike were all lined up just watching them but I didn't see any of them take one, there must have been near on a dozen pike there and some real chonkers too.
I'm hoping to paddle up on a situation like that one day with this lure in my tackle bag! A friend who told me about one of the slough spots I fish said he saw pike snatching up frogs from right along the shoreline there one day about this time of year maybe into May. I'll be checking out a couple of those spots once it warms up!
I'm no religious man, but, god bless ya Matt for hangin' on to these summer gems all year!
God bless you!
Amen!

Nah, some understand where their breathe comes from, others are ignorant.
@@joel713 that’s kinda cryptic…
Cant get enough of these Saturday morning videos. 🎣Great way to start the morning.
Best way to start Saturday morning is go fishing and bring coffee ☕️ with you 😊
Always an honor to ride along with you on another great fishing adventure! You are the only and best fishing channel there is in my opinion.
You’re like the Bob Ross of fishing. 😊 love watching your videos.
I never get tired of watching Matt cast. He is so accurate every time, even into tight spots.
Another great adventure, thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for talking about the knots and showing us. Great video as usually!
Great show today can't wait for it to open up my way tks for sharing😊
GREAT!!
It's raining here and now I get to have another cup of coffee with a new video!! Gonna be a great weekend!!
Not a single negative comment on this channel. A testament to this dudes awesome vibes. Watching these videos is therapeutic lol
Nothing to hate on here
The legs on the frog..Joe from family guy😂
😂😂😂
Foul☠️
Hahaha
😂😂 right on the money 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Another great video, Matt, on Saturday, catching some nice smallies and pike, it just doesn't get any better than that! Take care and be safe!
I enjoy your fishing adventures. Makes me want a kayak
Get one. You won't regret it.
I bought one five years ago and haven't taken my bass boat out since.
Awesome video again! Makes me excited for this bass fishing this summer at the cottage👍👍👍👍
Won't be long now, until we're out there with ya! Meanwhile, this way is worth the wait very week. Thanks again, Matt!
I'm jealous of these conditions. It's cold, rainy, and windy here in Connecticut today, so no fishing for me.
And everything is flooded with all this rain. Dying to hit the CT and Mattabassett river but it might be a while.

Definitely getting one of these. Love the hook setup. I feel like I lose too many fish the way the double hook is setup on traditional rubber frogs.
I enjoyed it for sure, thank you for bringing us along🤩👍💯! Awesome action, amaized how calm you are! Keep them videos coming! Got here new subscriber fisherman all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐
I was just imagining you dragging your kayak up on the stage of the bass masters classic with freddy the frog 🐸 lol your Mr Rogers interview on stage would be epic.
Well done Freddy-I mean Matt 👍 Thanks for the "montage fishing trip." God bless.
Howdy everyone! Best video intro ever!!! I always look forward to hearing you start your videos with the best greeting “Howdy everyone!” Thank you for the great videos!!!
Last time I was this early I had time to fish for myself instead of living vicariously through TH-camrs.
Finally going out fishing tomorrow , the wind here in Iowa has been horrible the past couple weeks . This channel has kept me from going nuts this last winter .
Danger thin ice deep water.... summer ice is the worst.
👍🐿👍
The Bob Ross of fishing
😂😂 seriously
All he needs, is a curly head of hair like Bob's, and he's all set!
🤪😜🤪😜
So true lol
We are fishing because that makes us happy...
Thanks, Matt!!! You could catch fish with a Mountain Dew can I think!!!😂👍🏆
Good stuff man, going to do some bed fishing today hopefully I can catch some fish👍🏻
11 minutes of fishing is just a painful tease to me! I'd love to see Matt include us on a Live feed fishing trip one day. Catching fish or not it would be a very enjoyable outing to watch.
Now this is an idea with potential!
@@jamesberreth7171 Thanks, I may shoot him an email and suggest it. I think alot of us would definitely enjoy it.
Thanks for another good video and keeping it real sometimes it's more about the experience than the fish caught stay safe out there my friend

Holy hell! He used the temporal time machine to go three months into the future! LOL If I was a fish, I'd bite Freddie.
Yeah, I’m guessing it was last year’s video. Just getting posted now.
Rivers gonnabe lowthis yr! Drove over it yesterday and couldnt believe how low it was off the hwy.
"any day on the river is a good day" truer words have never been spoken especially when your fishing and catching some decent pike
Another one from the save Vault .
Way to short fish Whisperer.👍🐟🦈
You’re the Bob Ross of fishing.
*Calmy says*
“That’s a nice lil pike. First one of the day.”
Very relaxing video lol
The noise when you squeezed the first pike to pick him up made me laugh so hard for some reason. Lol. Great vid
Leggo with the Smallies!!
Your should do a live video!
Nothing better then ordering food and seeing a new video
That first Freddy the Frog fish was an absolute beauty! Great way to start, indeed. Thanks for all your content, Bruh. I learn from you. Gonna be looking for Freddy. TLF
#1. You’ve earned a new subscriber.
#2. Definitely purchasing a “Freddy The Frog”
#3. Great content, God bless
The first one gave ya a nice departing splash haha. Great fish

Pretty good pulls on some fish for just running the frog.... That would be a day that I'd be happy with anytime
Great video Matt really enjoyable and nice catches! Thanks for taking us along! Take Care and see you next time!
So pretty there awesome catches brother!!! Cheers!! :))
I love how positive he is in his videos❤️
Man I really enjoy your videos....I'm gonna be a new owner soon of a fishing kayak....be safe ...and thank you for your videos...very enjoyable....thanks.again
You do a great job with your videos really great watching top water. Thanks Bruce
Nice job Rob from California.
Great video. I have always wanted to catch a pike but they don't live in Oregon. Thank you for sharing
What is now called a...pike minnow.. in Oregon, was called a squawfish, from the chub family, at least it looks like a big chub. I live in Oregon now and am not aware of any....Northern Pike here.
Any time you want to compile a "greatest hits" on a particular lure I'll be watching it. It pumps me up for Spring.
Amazingly beautiful fish on this trip! TY for sharing.
Great video and great fishing and beautiful day and area! Have a good day and weekend.
The only thing that could make this video better is if it was in VR. Absolutely the most relaxing videos on the tube.
Great clip, amazing Lure, seen frog ones before but this is the business.
Freddy the Frogs greatest hits
Very nice compilation Matt, I think you should do that more often when they're not biting so cooperatively😂, nothing wrong with some variety!
Thank you Matt for that quick knot tip. I’ll be using that one here and there. I know a few other knots as well. I like your videos. Keep up the great work.
Daniel 🙂
I love how the pikes get put back into the water and swim off like “sigh, I got tricked, good one man, have a good one”
I also use the trilene knot and through the eye of the lure twice- but I only wrap 3 times around! I used to do 5 wraps, but dropped to 3 and discovered the knot never failed- usually the line will break above my leader if I snag,, but never the Knot.
Have you ever tried going barbless? Also nice to know how far are your longer casts?
This lure with a wire leader, and slow troll it close to the bank would absolutely slay pike up here I imagine. I’m going to try it. Nice video, thanks for posting
Just subscribed. Love your calming VERY entertaining videos and that smooth as chinchilla fur voice
You gotta do a best of 2023.
Thank you for all your hard work in your videos
Great fishing. Beautiful nature.
Another great video ! Nice catches too! I'll have to try my Academy brand wake frog tomorrow. Stay safe !
Appreciate you putting this compilation of Freddy the Frog 🐸 as an equal opportunity multi species weapon. I'd have taken a swipe at the feog if he ventured into my territory.

Bro!! I too have a Freddy! What an awesome and fun lure. I was dumb and got the big one but still fun
Where in MN is this, sir?
You went to a lot of awesome lakes, ponds and rivers here in MN.
The F'n Mr Rodgers of fishing over here!.. Love the vids.
The action on that is pretty solid. For fish to bite, not so much for pretending its a frog.
I have a cuestion for you ...i your opinión what is the most funny ,smallmouth or largemouth ...thanks for your job
Freddy’s got great action. Pike thought he tasted like chicken though. Loved the smallmouths you pulled in. Nice vid.
Fantastic videos man. Glad I found your channel.
This guy is my favorite 🐟🐟🐟
I don’t know how you don’t have a million subs bro. You are the best fishing yt channel. Keep up the good work man🎉🎉😁✌️
I remember you talking about your net in the last video- the savage gear rubberised net is really good. I used it for all my pike fishing. Great big net that folds in half with extendable handle. Super strong. And good for big fish
Savage gear pro folding rubber large mesh landing net

All in..I know we gonna get a bunch..
Awesome video as usual Matt!
Man! You are a great fisherman. Love the videos
Great videos..... looking to get in to Kayak fishing, what ate your thoughts on the Lifetime Yukon Angler 116 Kayak to start?
Here in Northern Kansas it's juuust warm enough for bass to be in either prespawn or spawn. They're pushed up in the shallows. Caught my first one of the year about a week ago, and then caught 6 more over the course of this week. Leaving my house after I watch this video to hopefully get a couple more.

All hail the FROG
Matt, do a LIVE FEED fishing trip for us one weekend! Alot of us would definitely watch even if they weren't biting.
Your videos are very good and wonderful. I really enjoy watching your videos. Wishing you lots of health and success

I guess Freddy the frog needs to up his game if he wants to impress those bass and pike! 🐸🎣
Where was this? I'm right on the MN/ND line and hoping to get my feet out under me starting fishing. If you don't want to give exact locations any good spots fishable from shore would help tremendously ^^ thank you!
Dude you are living the dream life! Great video!
Why do you prefer casting rods & reels vs. spinning gear? Is it about accuracy of casting? I've only really fished with spinning rods.
I’m more used to fishing casting gear now. To me it feels more sensitive and solid than a spinning setup due to the line connecting to a more central solid part of the reel. On a spinning reel any slop in the bail arm, spool, spool shaft are going to reduce sensitivity somewhat. The big thing though is that I can operate a casting reel one handed by thumbing the handle or the drag star with my rod holding hand enough to keep slack out of my line while my other hand is on the paddle as I’m maneuvering the kayak. I miss far fewer fish with casting gear when they hit as I’m making a corrective paddle strike like that, and it happens pretty often.
@@ndyakangler Thanks so much for the insight. I might now go out and get myself a rig.
If you dont mind me asking what was the air temp/water temp when fishing in this video? I can never seem to catch any fish here in upstate ny i have tried everything. It seems impossible lol
This footage is from three separate trips but the water temp was probably in the 70’s all three times.
Nice! That Weston Freddy isn’t really available in the states (yet). Not sure how to order?
I had to get mine off EBay last summer. Westin is a Denmark company I believe, not sure if they have anything set up in the US.
Nicely filmed...👍 these basses must be strong fish :)
