“Someone said it before” it’s practically a meme at this point. Every single video there’s a dozen people commenting that he’s the bob ross of fishing.
I always love to see the alerts come in when you post another video! Anyone else give a thumbs up before you even watch the first 10 seconds? Lol! Have a great day and tight lines!
Here in the Northeast we have lots of good lakes & ponds. Especially up in Maine. Maine is loaded w/ virgin lakes and good size ponds that are still undeveloped areas. More so in the central & upper part of the state. Also makes for great hunting. You can find a lot of older cheap hunting & fishing cabins in those areas.
You are very good at what you do. Not just your fishing, but your calm demeanor and personal presentation make me long for more time on the water. Stay safe and keep on catchin' em'
Took my fishing kayak out for the first time this week, caught a few largemouth on the whopper plopper down here in Iowa. Tons of fun & all thanks to your videos 🙂
I'm always fascinated as to what species are caught in other states. I'm in rural northwestern NJ and I run the gamete here. Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass, northern pike, muskies, chain pickerel, channel catfish, carp, rainbow/brown/brook trout, yellow perch, crappie plus other sunfish heck even monster bowfin in select spots. Any given day can bring 5-6 different species. It's actually pretty great. Hope everyone has many diverse fishing targets!
@@mr.onethirtyeight5088 I’m in NJ but def not rural part. I drive west though and within an hour a ton of reservoirs, lakes, rivers to fish. My PB is a 6 lber out of a state park lake that is a gorgeous paddle to boot.
I love your videos. Whenever I’m stressed out and need to simmer down. I put on your videos and close my eyes. Listen to you narrate, listen to the water and the birds chirping. Calms me down.
Every time I watch one of these vids of you catching largemouth, it brings back a bushel-basket of memories of my youth. My dad spent his summers bass fishing, and my brother and I were always right there in the boat with him. Me in the middle and my brother in the bow. Now at 60 years old, I don't do much of that anymore. Feel like it's time to get busy living again.
It's a couple of things I really appreciate about your videos that not many channels do. The head mount POV so we see what you see and the use of a classic paddle kayak, love the water sounds.
Hey, brother. I just want you to know that you’re the inspiration behind me deciding to start my own fishing TH-cam channel. Your calm demeanor is so refreshing, and I can tell there’s nothing fake about you.. and this makes for AWESOME videos. Not to mention, you definitely know what you’re doing! Thanks for the content, my girlfriend and I love watching! -Lonnie, from Tennessee
I saw that 51”, awesome fish! They’ve been biting really good here at one of the dams. They aren’t nearly that big but mid 30’s-40” fish are still a lot of fun!
I realize that you don't show every cast but I'm amazed at how accurate they are. Love your videos and your calm demeanor, I always look forward to seeing your next one.
Hi, I've been watching your videos for a while now- this maybe an odd comment, but I have panic disorder and your calming and entertaining videos help me when I'm getting panic attacks. I watch under a different username since this is my gaming one, but I'll be subscribing here too. While I'm not great at fishing, it is my happy place, so this goes a long way for me to get through some severely hard moments in time. Wishing you all the best from Texas and thank you for such great videos.
I’m always looking forward to see your video alerts that always means I get to see someone up north catching huge fish!! Thanks for the always entertaining fishing content!
Kayak fishing has become my obsession. Every spare minute, I'm exploring a new spot around me, searching for that perfect, quiet fishing spot where I can hear the birds singing, and the water's calm, and the fish are biting. You have been my inspiration since I discovered your channel a few years ago. I don't know how many times I've heard the comparison, but you really are the same for fishermen that Bob Ross was for painters. Your videos are the perfect balance of idle banter, instruction and technique, packed with catching fish instead of just casting and retrieving, and the best part is the constant landscape shots, instead of the selfie-video style that some channels seem to focus on. Talking to the camera occasionally is great, but I want to see where you are. I want to see what you see. Fishing is as much about the landscape for me as the fishing itself. You do a fantastic job of putting videos together. Keep up the great work, and I hope someday we can hit the river together and wet some lines!!
You are one of my very favorite fishermen on TH-cam. I started my day wade fishing for smallmouth with a good friend, and I get to enjoy one of your new videos near the end of the day. A perfect day.
It’s mostly walleye anglers around here so I just stay off the popular walleye lakes! A lot of these spots I hit are carry in access too so that keeps most of the motor boats out.
@@ndyakangler I double what Matt says. I fish the same lake (not as well) and even on the 4th of July up in MN, I can find a lake with no one else on the water (just did it today in the afternoon).
Oh man that was a beast of a largie! I always love when you fish the frog… there’s just something about the lily pads, shallow banks and the sounds of your paddles dipping in the water! And as always, thank you for making these videos sir🤘
Finally had a day off a couple weeks ago to fish and the cotton wood stuff was awful. Like it snowed on the water so way to keep your head up and fish thru! Your videos are the best, true skill to slay them as good as you do in the kayak!
Holy crap, what a monster largemouth!! I had no luck like that this past week, throwing the same frog a "few" lakes over. What a fish! Literally jaw dropping!
Great video as always. What a monster that big'n was! As an ex-pat Canadian living in Australia for the past 40 years it was also very nostalgic to hear the woodpecker and the loons.
@@ndyakangler yes, I've had to forego my bugstopper pants bc I've been fishing in the mid 90s will bluebird skies. The smell of waterproof coppertone lasts through showers and wash cycles.
Thanks! I caught a couple more nice ones at that shallow end of the lake but my audio recording glitched out for about a half hour and I had to cut those ones from the video. The frog bite should only get better so I’ll be going back to that lake a few more times!
Yeah this lake holds some big bass! That one I caught on this trip was the third biggest largemouth I’ve caught as far as I can remember, the top two were caught on that same lake and I had a couple other monsters there I didn’t have a scale with for.
That cottonwood fluff wraps around the braid then hardens if you don't clean it off. Some of it slides to the 🐸 the rest keep growing until they don't fit through the top guide. #madness
The overcast day, the beautiful lake, (a beaver lodge included!), your skillful fishing performance and calm relaxing comments (always interesting and appropiate comments) make your video pure bliss for the soul. Occasionaly someone on the comments of other videos of yours has deemed you “the Bob Ross” of fishing and I wondered who on earth is this so renowned Bob Ross!. My guess was he must be a most talented person very well known to the American people but not to me being European myself. So I started searching the internet to find out who is this person and if I ˋ m not wrong the Bob Ross the comments referred to was…a painter, but…what a master of a painter!!! I was left speechless by the superb beauty of his landscapes and natural sceneries but, above all, by the skillful speed of his painting action. Well I also think that you Matt are the Bob Ross of fishing!!! You have fishing in your genes, and the instinct and sensitivity to film gorgeous fishing videos.
No jet skis, no party boats, and just a lake full of bass to yourself, that's a kayak fisherman's dream there! Great video!
when i ever go out a bass boat going 700mph always ends up nearly fliping my kayak.
@@rgcfishing2876 find a better lake
BLM !!!
I can't tell you how many fishing days end because of a jet ski or party boat scarring away all of the fish and turning the lake into a hightide beach
I'm very fortunate to live where there's an abundance of natural lakes with tons of bass!!
Someone said it before but you really are the Bob Ross of fishing. I love watching your videos
“Someone said it before” it’s practically a meme at this point. Every single video there’s a dozen people commenting that he’s the bob ross of fishing.
No one has ever said this.
@@MikeYurbasovich I have
@@hughjasssssssss 🤣 every vid someone says it.
@@MikeYurbasovich I have.
Now THATS a northern largie brother!
I always love to see the alerts come in when you post another video! Anyone else give a thumbs up before you even watch the first 10 seconds? Lol! Have a great day and tight lines!
I always know every one is gonna be a banger
I like then watch
@@colinmahon19 only TH-camr I do that for.
Always hit the like before watching never a dull moment
Every time lol
Who else wishes you had this many good lakes local to you?

@@neilouellette3004 ya we got good hunting down here and some good lakes few far and between
No need to wish there’s ample local spots
@@daking414 not everyone gets that luxury some of us are near dead lakes with way too much pressure and pollution
@@SirPraiseSun so that makes my comment untrue?
With all the chaos blowing throughout the world your, videos provide sanity to us all. GOD bless!
Amen
6am here in California and no way better to start the day than a NDYakangler video!!
You are very good at what you do. Not just your fishing, but your calm demeanor and personal presentation make me long for more time on the water. Stay safe and keep on catchin' em'
Ahhhh, coffee with Matt. Perfect way to start the day.
It's incredible how this guy encapsulates the experience of fishing so well in every video. Great work
The great thing about doing top water fishing is being able to see the fish strike the lure with a big splash! Great job!
Took my fishing kayak out for the first time this week, caught a few largemouth on the whopper plopper down here in Iowa. Tons of fun & all thanks to your videos 🙂

In weedy thick areas, sometimes the hollow body frog is the best option, definitely fun too!
I love your videos. Whenever I’m stressed out and need to simmer down. I put on your videos and close my eyes. Listen to you narrate, listen to the water and the birds chirping. Calms me down.
Omg I love this. This guy needs to do a podcast about fishing in that voice at the first spot. I would fall asleep to that instantly

Incidentally, I think I still have my hollow-body frog. It's over 45 years old.
Whenever I watch your videos I think it's Bob Ross fishing. Super pleasant and relaxing voice.

What a giant largemouth for northern waters! Awesome video! It’s been a great start to the season for us too, particularly for musky and smallies

I realize that you don't show every cast but I'm amazed at how accurate they are. Love your videos and your calm demeanor, I always look forward to seeing your next one.
Anytime is a good time for NDYakAngler uploads. Just what I needed today.
"Set the hook like he was a big 'un...probably gave him a case of whiplash." Classic!
Man, I love MN and ND. I’m so excited to move back in a year.
Frog fishing is the best type of fishing
nothing better then catching some nice bass on a top water frog!
I hope that hidden in the woods lake stays hidden. Love Frog fishing, it's got to be the ultimate way to have fun Bass fishing, it's the best!
Its always a good day when NDYakAngler posts
Another great video Matt! Love your “Bob Ross” like narration. You sir are a great fisherman! Watching from West Virginia!❤️🎣

Happy little bass fisherman. Thanks for watching Joy of Fishing with Bob Ross.
Every year I watch you go to this lake and every year you catch larger fish there than I do!
Slice of Heaven right there pal enjoy it nothing good lasts forever
That 5-14 made the trip. Beautiful bass.
Your videos are a therapy for me, greetings from Brazil
Another fantastic video. Love that top water bite!
Gonna be a good Saturday when I see you upload a video, coffee and yak fishing, nothing better
I love this guy he is the main person that got me bro fishing Thank you😌
Always a good day when you post
So I don’t have to worry about walking the frog. I’m learning more and more from watching your videos
Nice one mate, good to see all the snow and ice gone - enjoy your warmer weather and keep the great content coming.
These videos are so sick, super calm and relaxed. Love it! 👍
Matt, you never disappoint. What I can’t figure out is how these great fishing spots you take us to never have anyone else fishing in them.
It’s mostly walleye anglers around here so I just stay off the popular walleye lakes! A lot of these spots I hit are carry in access too so that keeps most of the motor boats out.
@@ndyakangler I double what Matt says. I fish the same lake (not as well) and even on the 4th of July up in MN, I can find a lake with no one else on the water (just did it today in the afternoon).
Totally understand the hatred of cottonwood fluff! It’s a pain when fishing and It also wrecks AC units on campers and houses
I've been watching your vids and and I love it.. no ear rape screams and what not. Just all vibes, I love it
Oh man that was a beast of a largie! I always love when you fish the frog… there’s just something about the lily pads, shallow banks and the sounds of your paddles dipping in the water! And as always, thank you for making these videos sir🤘
Love this session watched it bout 7 times now n loving it every time.
Thats a good day afloat. Cant beat a nice peaceful spot, especially if there's a chance for five pounder
this is like ASMR for bass fisherman
Finally had a day off a couple weeks ago to fish and the cotton wood stuff was awful. Like it snowed on the water so way to keep your head up and fish thru! Your videos are the best, true skill to slay them as good as you do in the kayak!
Love fishing frogs like that.
Beautiful healthy fish, with a monsta. Dang good evening 🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love frog fish! Awesome video man 🐸🎣
This is just the best , and No stupid music either !
Holy crap, what a monster largemouth!! I had no luck like that this past week, throwing the same frog a "few" lakes over. What a fish! Literally jaw dropping!
I can think of worse ways to get sprayed with mud. Keep the footage coming 🤘. The vids provide me with a peaceful afternoon work break.
Frog fishing! Lots of fun!
"This looks pretty fishy"
i laughed out loud
Thanks for the show
Patience is a virtue
Nice catch
That cottonwood is the bane of my existence.. my home Lake is a gravel pit and when it’s there it can become unfishable
Great video again, always nice to see a new NDYakAngler video!
Great video as always. What a monster that big'n was! As an ex-pat Canadian living in Australia for the past 40 years it was also very nostalgic to hear the woodpecker and the loons.
I'll always be amazed at how clear the water is by you. You don't see that here in Chicago.
I'm with you, I hate the cotton from the cottonwood trees. That first blow up was insane - great video.
Rolled a fatty, got on my float in my pool… went fishing with ya.
Thank you✌🏼😎
Your videos always therapeutic.. i love this..
Same cottonwood problem here in Michigan. Great bass and great video.
❤that was the best fast catching fun!-thankyou dude🎉😊
great content, I love pike fishing, when I watch your videos, I want to go fishing
Great salad beds of the north country! Great bass fishing
Frog bite is doing so well✅
I enjoy heavy metal music and your channel
Went out fishing with my new yak for the first time yesterday and had a blast ! Your channel is really inspiring
Gotta love a good frog bite
Another great vid! I've been wearing Simms bugstopper clothing and it really helps with the insects.
I sprayed my shirt down before I hit the water but those mosquitoes were thick and looking for any unprotected spot to bite.
@@ndyakangler yes, I've had to forego my bugstopper pants bc I've been fishing in the mid 90s will bluebird skies. The smell of waterproof coppertone lasts through showers and wash cycles.
around 13:00 and 13:20, when them loons in the background were calling, it sounded so peaceful
Gently catches a fluff that i was following on the screen 😂
2 hogs..... big 'ens!!!!
love your videos and watching you.
Thanks! I caught a couple more nice ones at that shallow end of the lake but my audio recording glitched out for about a half hour and I had to cut those ones from the video. The frog bite should only get better so I’ll be going back to that lake a few more times!

“A boat” = about
(Also, “a boat” = a boat).

The Daiwa Zillions are sweet reels!
I feel your pain with the cottonwood fluff. It can be maddening. I have had it get into the line on my spool!
I think grandpa would have given a thumbs up to that first bass, so I will too. 👍
That cottonwood fluff wraps around the braid then hardens if you don't clean it off. Some of it slides to the 🐸 the rest keep growing until they don't fit through the top guide. #madness
Finally got to see some frog action

Love to see your videos! Happy fishing!
This was awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us. Would love to get out with you someday.
Thanks for the fishing trip.
that thing was a taaaaank, wow, great catch
