This 19 minutes of fishing content is some of the best I have ever seen.
19min24seconds to be exact
Best fisherman on TH-cam no $100,000 boat and $20,000 worth of sonar. Just a kyak and a few lures. A real fisherman at work.
Matt: Oh man, my heart is pounding.
Little Bass: YOUR heart is pounding?!
I was so surprised it was alive! Did you see the look on its face hahaha
Hahaha
🤣
I like how conscious you are about caring for the muskie. Nobody would judge you for how you landed it. You did the best you could possibly do there. Great vid
That’s how your supposed to let musky go
This is one of the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen! We have to protect this places.
Just out of curiosity, because I know if I had a spot like that I'd do anything to keep people away but where is that?
Paul Menard would like to disagree....and dump a few hundred tons of industrial waste in waterways yet unpolluted

You right
Can we take a moment to appreciate the level of casting skill.. absolute sniper!
I always think about this when I watch his content. What an absolute beast when it comes to the cast
He can put a bait pretty much anywhere he wants it.
some of these lures look tough to cast, too
I hope to be so good some day. Practice, practice, practice!
He is as good if not better than the Bass Pros .. If you watch the Old timers like Roland martin. Nothing but Precision Casts .. this guy can literally hit a Pizza size Target on every single cast all day long at 75 Feet , and more
Yesss! New Ndyakangler video! Whoever reads this, have a great day!
U too
@@thebassboys9779 Thanks!
Du med ;)
@@alexbalex9779 Hæ?
You too
Honestly, this guy is the bob ross of fishing. Keep up the good work
The goat in a kayak hands down. Unreal footage, thanks for sharing!
For real! When I catch one in my kayak it's a huge hassle just trying to land it.
Yeah he makes it look easy. Serious skills, probably under-appreciated by many viewers!
Matt I have to say that BOTH the wife and I not only look forward to seeing your vids and adventures, but we appreciate your professionalism, your calming voice and your clean content👍🏼! You ROCK, I mean that, thanks for the best entertainment on You Tube!!
This has to be one of the most intense videos you've put out. So many different cool moments. Love it.
Anyone complaining about the way you landed that huge monster is only whining because they wouldn't have a clue how to land a fish like that and on/with that gear. You did everything in your power to take care of that Muskie. absolutely awesome content
OMG that first smallie. Literally everything that could've gone wrong went wrong, and you still landed it like a boss!
That is the reason why I love fishing for them! They just fight so freakin' hard and never give up even when they are in the boat.
Hey Matt! I’d like to congratulate you on 10 years of making TH-cam videos! As always, thank you for sharing your experiences with us through these videos. You’ve inspired many people like myself to get out there and do some yak fishing! It been a great ten years, so cheers to many more…
Thanks!

The shots this guy gets on his channel are second to none. Its the beautiful water he is always in you can actually see whats going on.
Them smallies are some angry little buggers! Great video!
The quality of the fish in these rivers is really amazing! What a dream it must be to fish these spots on a regular basis!
For real ,seems like every one he catches is 3 pounds or better
Time to move to ND...
@@1cody2williamson3 Pretty sure this is in MN
@@skunkape2 just going off his name 🤷
i k n.j ow right.i would pay to go there and catch smallies
I've watch all of your videos the last 2 years but this was the best video I've watched. Pissed off smallies, musky eating your bass catch, watching bass come out from the dark to nail the crawl, and catching that big girl at the end. Nice work Matt! So badass.
"Full contact fishing today." Had me giggling for awhile. Hilarious.
During salmon season in my city we see 50 guys lined up fishing, we say combat fishing time lol
YEAH!! Made me spit my beer out my nose.... LOL!!!!
Looking at the size of those smallies, it's pretty much football season for Matt.
@@_JimS yey beer
A delightfully excited post, clean and devoid of any cussing, blasphemy and disrespect and in the end a most gentle release after a grueling battle between man and piscine. I have nothing but respect for you dear stranger. Walk in Beauty, change the world ... 💖
That Muskie taking the small Bass was one of the most insane things I have seen in all my fishing. I would be shaking too!
Had this happened to me last week except with a little sunfish and a 28 inch pickerel (which is a monster here in Long Island, NY) and literally 3 feet away from me and from the shore.
I’ve seen Muskie eat big largemouth and pike and even muskrats and ducks.
I had a largemouth almost jump on my foot going after bugs lol
Man that area you fish is crazy. Some of the lakes here in Canada you would be lucky to see a 2-3lb bass all day.
I watched it 4 times. It blew my mind!
Thanks from morocco Nord africa. This is the best ever video i ve seen .... the sound is just fantastic ... i can feel the fresh of the water on my skin...
Quelles émotions mon ami !
Yesss I was finally here at the right time, have a good day everyone
You handled that muskie perfectly! They are so much fun to hook and to get them into the boat can sometimes really be a challenge as you proved. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
one of the best fishing videos ive ever seen. 19 minutes straight of epic footage.
Just laid down to sleep for the night and this video has put me on full alert.. superb fishing and footage..i love your channel..
Amazing water.I love how you treat them with respect and return them back in best shape possible! :)
This video had everything. I’m so glad you’re still here!
Love the videos, brother. One of the most underrated fishing youtubers 🤙
Holy crap, I can’t believe that you landed that Muskie with that setup!! What an insane video from start to finish…. Fantastic content brother. You never disappoint 🤘
Dude your accuracy with your casting is legendary
I like that he’s always so positive and chill
Another great day on the water. Thank you for sharing this with us
NDyak, one of the few that doesn't need to embellish their fish stories
Your videos make never fail to make my day, Matt! Seeing that Muskie grab onto that little smallie was nuts - thanks for taking us on this adventure!
Something I appreciate about your channel is how natural it is. Everything flows and the reactions feel natural. One thing I despise about a lot of bass fishing channels is that they overreact when catching a fish. That’s why I enjoy channels like The New Fly Fisher and yours as well. They’re calm and keep it real.
I love your content, thanks for taking me fishing with you!
Wow! You record some of the most spectacular footage Ive ever seen. Thanks for sharing Matt!
That was probably my favorite video he has made so far!
That final muskie jumping out of the water was sick! Enjoyed the video Yak!
Heck of a day! Most people dream of that days catch! Great job and beautiful scenery.
This is the best fishing video I have ever seen. Action, disappointment, confusion, adrenalin, great river, wonderful editing. Just the best...
This is the best video I’ve seen on your channel. Everything was perfect! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!! Love you!
How can you not love this channel,he finally hook's a smaller fish and a musky eats it,cant make this stuff up!!!
Finally we got some emotion out of you. Awesome
Everything goes wrong and you still pull 'em in. This was my favorite one yet.
To those who may feel fishing can be a bit boring, this is about as animated as I've ever seen Matt who as a rule, is relatively calm.
Well apparently everyone has their limit, and on this particular day "relatively calm" wasn't relative; starting with the first smallie and
ending with an unnamed muskie [or two]. *Great video;* I'm glad that I found your channel.
Btw [3:07]: *"I kinda forgot what I was missing."* I'd say this was a reasonable reminder that'll stick with you for a while. ;) *God bless.*
Your videos are awesome! You are the Bob Ross of fishing! The way you paint the picture of the video. Great job and I’m hooked now on your videos!
I thought that Muskie smacking that small Smallie was awesome! But it was one of the coolest things I've seen when he let go and the lil dude was still swimming. What a roller coaster of events for that lil fish.
Awesome video Matt, you always get me pumped with all the fish you get into!
As far as how you landed that Muskie, I don’t think anyone watching your videos has any doubt that you care about the fish you are catching, it truly shows and I thank you for respecting the sport! Tight lines brother.
The most unbelievable part of this video is that it shows Matt catching at smallie that’s less than 16”! He is human, after all.
Bro every time I watch one of ur videos I want to teleport to the water with a fishing pole in my hands. Dude how u document what ur doing and narrate the video, I swear u could have ur own Netflix fishing show. Very professional and educated. Keep the videos coming.
You have the absolute best looking fishing area ever.
I'm going through chemo (Again) and watching your videos is such an amazing escape from reality. THANK YOU for the energy that you put into bringing them to us all. Greatest thing next to actually being out on the water!
Loved this clip! Full of surprises!!!
I know the feeling of hooking into a big pike/ski you werent expecting and trying to figure out how youre going to land it.
What a nice day out, that river is loaded with fish. So good to see clean waters and beautiful scenery. Thanks for the upload!
Some amazing footage in that clear water!
the amount of chill this guy has when he loses a fish is ridiculous
Great vid! My new fave. You show great respect for your catches, even when the circumstances aren’t ideal. Nice work.
What an exciting day! Trophy-size bass, huge Muskie, pike. You did a great job of getting that “bycatch” landed and released in good shape. Your footage is incredible. The chaos that ensues when catching big fish from a drifting kayak is fun to watch.
Great video Matt, great job on landing that muskie. My heart was going just watching it. Fish on brother. 😎
What an experience on that muskie! Best freshwater fishing channel on the tube. I binge watch the crap outa this!
I'm in love with this channel. Makes me wanna catch a musky so bad.
The quality of fish in your area never ceases to amaze me and average smallmouth for you is a Giant in Tennessee
What a great Vid!!! And what a awesome little spot, you have there. A variety of species to fish. Can’t wait, for the musky/pike Vid from that spot. 👊🏻
This is not a river but an aquarium full of fishes! Amazing river! I would be afraid to swim in it! The musky holing on the small mouth bass was something special! Thank you for sharing it made my day!
You straight up had a Jeremy Wade moment with the muskie
This is... the Arapima
As always, just phenomenal footage and a fantastic sportsman that gives deserved respect to all fish on the line and the beautiful waterways fished. Stay safe and God bless.
Not gonna lie my heart rate went up watching that fight LOL Muskies are beautiful man 👍🏻
Same
That kept me riveted through its entirety. Thank you.
I made it up to Minnesota finally. I’m here all summer. Can’t wait to find some water and catch some like this.
That was my second or third time watching this video Matt. Just as exciting and unbelievable as the first time. Keep them coming please!
That was a finesse catch on a MONSTER! Nice footage as always!
well worth the wait. those muskies were insane. the one that got some air time was huge. one of your best videos yet. so glad you're doing what you do.
Another exciting adventure of “Matt Nelson’s Wild Kingdom”!
Great musky catch, don’t worry about what people think it’s about Fishing talent and the ability to do things that are right very good
Great job landing that Musky! You landed & released safely for yourself & the fish. 👊🏼🎣
Those 19 minutes went by so fast, this episode was action packed!
Well...it doesn't seem so long ago that you were down-in-the-dumps & worried about not having enough exciting content for your TH-cam channel...we all told you to just chill out a bit & the fish would come...I guess this video proves that point...I think by virtually any fisherman's standards, that was an epic day of freshwater stream & river fishing! Great video...absolutely first-class job of expert kayak fishing
istg my day is always a good one when he posts
What a gorgeous day and what clear water. I can't believe you saved the one that wrapped the anchor. That Musky was fun. Great job.
At 9:35 I was like "wow hes actually going to include a small bass for once?" 5 seconds later I understood.
WOW!! What a day on the water! This is a day that dreams are made of. Thanks for sharing!
So sick. People will always have something to say. Very impressed, I know I wouldve broken off as I don't fish for the toothy guys. Well done Matt.
Wow, no words. What a day of fishing.
"Oh man, thanks for pulling me out of that beast's mouth. I owe you big time and, WHOA WAIT BRO DON'T JUST THROW ME BACK INTO THE..." ~ Tiny Bass probably
Right before he tossed it back you could see its tail shaking, like it was trying to say "dont put me back in the water with that...thi- *bloop*"
@@GearGuardianGaming a few days after this aired, I had a tiny spotted bass that has my lure in its mouth along with a tiny bluegill. The gil wasted no time in jumping out of the mouth and into the water.
@@JakeWerkmeister youtube needs to get more up to date on their notifications. I got it 4 hours ago.
Just awesome! I watch this channel most every day on my TV. Big screen with the clear quality of Matt's videos, action packed as they are? Who needs any other TV _programming?_ This guy is a mensch. Thank you, Matt and please, keep them coming!
I wish there were rivers like that close by. I'd have to travel for hours to get to one.
Upper midwest is full of them but you have to put up with a lot of cold and snow. And mosquitoes. I am moving back to Wisconsin after 26 years in GA, so I am looking forward to the good parts.
sometimes it’s worth it to make a day trip out of it if you can afford it. get up well before the sun rises, fish all day, go home.
One of the best fishing videos I’ve seen. Amazing footage and masterful angling
This is overall a Amazing video I wish I was good as u at river fishing keep up the great content
What a beautiful piece of water, and a fun little adventure you took us on! Thanks!!!
Wasted no time checking the new vid out, love your content.
That first smallie was an absolute unit,
If it wasn’t for the visual, it almost sounds like Matt is getting ready to see his prom date!!
Now THAT was funny !
WOW! What a great grab-bag of feisty fish! Matt, I think this is some of the best footage you've ever shot. Amazing sight-fishing on a truly beautiful day. Thank you!
I want to go fishing with him one day istg
I grew up I Michigan with a cabin on a lake. My Dad would wake us up in the nite to see the muskie or pike he caught. So amazing to see "him" fishing for both. Thank you so much.
“Full contact fishing today I tell you what!😂”
Really speechless. Clear water. Amazing fish. Best video I’ve seen in a long while. You are the man.
That got me going too and I wasn’t even there!
Fishing doesn't get any better than this
