In 70-some years of fishing the St Lawrence I've never caught a musky, and here I watch you just stack them up one after another! Thanks again for another great video, Matt! I really look forward to your weekly updates. I'm now 82, and unable to get out very often, so your adventures keep me going. Bless you my friend, and happy fishing!
@@midwestbassing4137 it’s not a easy task at hand but with hard work anything is possible! Hopefully I can bring these dreams to life one day! It’d be life changing for me and anyone who would come out! My uncle had muscular dystrophy and he couldn’t do much without help it hurt me in a different way you know! It’s only right to make the world a better place in some sort of way!
@@wowthatsawesome2762 they absorb more light and create contrast, which can help fish see their silhouette. Dark colors can also blend in better with the natural environment, making them more attractive to fish that are wary of brightly colored objects.
Say what you want. You can study, purchase all the right lures, fish them as close as you can to the "right way," but there are some people that just have that God given gift to be able to catch fish! Matt is one of them. Blessings my friend. Don't ever take that for "granted." I feel for the commenter who is in his 80's and still hasn't ever caught a Muskie out of the St. Lawrence. I've never caught one either, but I fish from the shore in NC. Don't exactly have that opportunity. At 72 it's getting tougher each year. Not as nimble as I was in my 30's and 40's. Right now I'm just having a blast ultra lite fishing from the bank for Bluegill, Crappie, and small bass. Even caught a 5 lb. bass while bluegill fishing one day! That was epic! 4 lb. line and about a 5 minute fight. Had to beach her to be able to pick her up. At 71 years of age and very overweight, bending down to pick her up was a chore. ..but I do have pics!!!
I agree. I have a friend that could catch a fish in a bathtub. We can both fish the same bait in the same place and he will out fish me 10-1 just about every time.
Nothing beats experience. Dude has spent countless hours on the water and is able to develop patterns and also change tactics and adapt to the conditions as a result of that experience.
You, sir, are a true fisherman! Catching panfish and smaller bass on those ultra light setups is so fun! Sometimes we make it too complicated with all the big, sexy gear, putting pressure on ourselves to catch the biggest fish out there. There is nothing like downsizing and just having a blast with it. I did this the other day and rediscovered the simple, pure joy of fishing. I was able to wade my feet off the side of my kayak and throw around a rooster tail for a ton of small bass and bluegill. All the decent sized bass feel like 5 pounders then…. Not to mention, you actually caught a 5 pounder! That thing must have felt MASSIVE! Respect!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@josephhedstrom1289 TH-cam keeps knocking off this reply because i refer to pics on the instant picture posting site. (chipseiler is my user name on that site - you know the one. instant gran)
Yamamoto senkos are my favorite river smallmouth bait. Who would believe they would also catch muskies. Matt is pushing boundaries and showing us how to catch more fish. Thanks!!
My best friend passed away a few weals ago in a horrible car accident. He was my fishing buddy, me and him loved senko fishing. He specifically was good with the wacky rig. I remember asking him out of frustration one time when we were out on the water if he could teach me how to fish one effectively. I’ll never forget, who he was and what I learned from him and what he learned from me. Fly high little brother, one day we will meet again. ❤😢
I'm sorry for your loss. You don't happen to live anywhere near St. Louis do you? I'd be happy to go out fishing with you sometime if you do. Tight lines.
Nothing like fishing with a buddy and having the fish biting as well. So glad you purchased a decent dip net, now every time you have a colossal fish on your line I wont have hold my breath quite so hard. Thanks for the video and taking us along. Stay safe. Blessings, cheers.😊
I've been watching this guy for a month or so...love seeing the techniques, use of different baits, different locations, different species and learn something new each time. Please keep em coming!
I can't wait to use this technique in Minnesota later this year. Something new and I can't imagine too many musky anglers are tossing wacky worms. 5 fish day says it works! Thank you for the content!
I'm really liking the thought of a 10" wacky rig for bass! No doubt in my mind it will work...that's 1 technique I'm trying here real soon if the weather cooperates...looking forward to trying another bait...the 8" deps soft jerkbait...Big baits=Big Fish
I actually bought these to try on a lake this spring where I know there’s big bass, and I’ll probably still give them a try there. The idea just popped into my head the night before this trip I should try them on muskie!
Live in the Chicago area, have gone up to N Wisconsin a number of times. Never caught a muskie. NDYA hooks a whole handful in a single random April afternoon. No words. Just living vicariously through you, my friend!
I really like ur voice and how u try different lures… I’m in nj… love watching u catch Muskies and pike…. Thanks for teachin us what to use and how to work it…..from a fishin women who loves to fish….❤
Happy to see Jacob not get skunked! The shakes 😂, I remember my first big musky, my knees were knocking so bad I could barely stand in the boat! Awesome fishing with good company! Greetings from Germany 👍🍻
I disagree. If he’s busy filling orders for your future landfill material he’s not fishing 🎣 making content. Besides its played out. All the sheep have worked that angle to death.
Chin up Jacob! Pretty sure any of us would be in the same boat with the “are you kidding me??”watching this guy boat fish after fish. He’s just that good! Another banger Matt!
The sound of a zillions drag never gets old. The new Daiwa PX BF70 BFS reel has a killer drag system and sound as well as the new Zillion SV TW 70 is so nice
Hey Matt, funny story for you. Way back in the day (1989-93) my buddies and I would go fish on the Toronto Islands right around ice out, mid-march to early April. Big pike, lakers and the occasional 'bow would be hanging around the various canals. We primarily used spoons (Wablers, lil cleos, 5 of diamonds, red devils etc etc.) When it was slow, we'd try other rigs too. One of those other rigs was Texas rig or carolina rigs with 6" Berkeley power worms and you know what? We caught some massive pike with them! I was shocked they worked so well and everyone i've told didn"t believe me at all.....this was all i could think about while watching this video. Lesson learned is that a slow steady presentation right in front of their noses works like a charm! Keep on keepin on dude!
I went to slide my small pontoon in last week, my son accidentally kicked one of the pvc pipes to roll on and took out the plug. Had to leave early the next day, going back Tuesday, new plugs, going to hopefully hit the pike, trout and early giant crappies! You are an inspiration to all and should have a show!!! Beside here
Great video and great fishing technique. Minimalist stealthy boat and fishing tackle. In Most other Musky channels, they fish out of 20+ foot super boat with 300 HP outboard, using 9 foot telephone pole rods, 80 lb. test line and lures the size of a small dog. You catch more Muskies and other fish without dressing like a NASCAR driver and making more noise than a NHRA Top Fuel race. Bravo.
I’ve fished all my life in both fresh, but mostly salt water on the Northern Gulf Coast where I grew up. I’ve caught just about every species of fish that we have down here (except for the marlins) but I’ve never caught a Smallie, Muskie, or a Pike, and I find your videos fascinating. One day, Lord willing, I’m going to schedule a trip up North and do some of your kind of fishing.
I just fished this river a little farther upstream again today, except I was targeting smallies this time! I found a half dozen nice ones which is pretty good for this early in the season, and saw a couple muskie but I left my big bait rods at home today.
If you travel north to fish, I would suggest places that don't see a lot of people. For me, that's 4 hours north, and there's still more pressure in the wilderness here than in, say, northwest Minnesota or the Dakotas.
I never knew Muskies would be in a channel until I started watching your video's. I always thought they were just in lakes in the woods. Learned something new I guess. lol
I agree with others. I know guys who have given years to catch a couple of nice muskies, and you do it in a day. Love the videos. You sure know where to fish.
Great video its good to have someone fish with you that does not get jealous and wants to sabotage your day cause of madness, If 2 wants the best for each other what a diffence it makes, The day goes right no matter what goes wrong.
Before Covid, we went to Lake Shikag in Ontario for smallies and walleye. Every year a great experience. Some in our group had been going for 35-40 years. It is catch and release. Being from the south, I had never caught walleye and just a few smallies. OMG what an experience for several years. No Muskie's, but Pike were there. Bottom line, I had never fished wacky worms before that and when it was explained to me, I just laughed. No Way!. But, man, did we catch fish on them. Smallies for sure on the wacky and Pike too. Dozens of walleye on live minnows, but we only kept enough for shore lunch. Such a wonderful trip with great guys. Hope that one day we'll do it again before it's too late. Lord willing.
Very cool experiment. Plus no trebles, big gap. From your previous sight fishing, and success with bass jigs, it looks like there are plenty if untried options for musky. Also... your muskies seem to be growing.
@@ndyakangler Yes! Glad he did. This same thing happened to me. Fishing with a good friend that was catching 5 for every one I did..both using the same gear. Talk about feeling defeated!! Still a good bud though!!
That huge wacky worm was tearing those Muskie up! I’ve fished a similar hook placement on a 6” worm in NC but it is called a trick worm. Great video Matt!
Awesome video on a clever technique. The first time I caught a musky on a bass jig I was surprised to say the least. I thought it was a giant channel cat at first. But I guess it’s a technique some people use. My local river here in Ohio has finally shaped up, so it’ll be some smallmouth and a random pike or two tomorrow. It’s been a long winter.
I kind of had the roles reversed a few trips later fishing with another guy, wondering what I was doing wrong and not catching any lol. Sometimes it’s just about having the luck of getting your lure in the right spot.
Great content guys-then again it always is. Matt you said at the beginning that the Wacky Worm fell a bit quick. I don't know if it's something you can still purchase, but yrs back we used to put small "insertable floats" into plastic lures to help regulate their fall rates, and keep them off the bottom, or to make the pincers of certain crawfish lures float if they weren't sold that way, etc. Some even had beads for a "rattle" effect. Just a thought to pass along to use with the Wacky Worm. God bless.
I’m going to Lake of the Woods this week with some MNKFA friends chasing giant Northerns. You should come with! 😀 last year we caught several nice ones, including two 40-inch fish.
Four monsters trying a new lure. The level of satisfaction must’ve been indescribable!!! Unlike my case yesterday on a largemouth fishing trip. I caught six fish around 2 pounds. It took a lot of effort and a long walk on a fairly hot day and my back really hurt at some moments. Not a big deal but fairly satisfying. But the frustrating part of it was that I lost other six bass, nice bass, and three of them over three pounds. They simply got unhooked in the battle near the bank while I was trying not to trip over while looking for a shallow part to safely get the animal. Except for one: I saw the wake of a bass approaching my weightless rigged senko-type worm accurately cast parallel two meters off the bank. On just setting the hook my double uni knot broke off and most weird of it I recovered a tiny part (less than 1 cm) of the fluorocarbon on the braid whose noose came intact! The braid had cut off the fluorocarbon! Unbelievable…Some thirty minutes later and some 100 meters away I saw a big bass cruising around with a strange distinctive clear spot on the tip of its mouth. I am quite sure that “spot” was my double colored pink-green plastic worm sticking out. That was some hour after I started fishing and I still had five hours ahead for making up that disappointment ( the second one around). I recalled Matt’s frustration when he lost that huge muskie on his last video but he was happily and greatly made up when he managed to catch the other monsters. Not my case. Two of my last fish lost were over three pounds and that unfortunately happened at the end of the day and therefore with no other fish to make up. It was simply I was telling myself “At last a big fish that makes me forget the previous disappointments!” and then…the fish came off!!! I felt like crying like a kid out of frustration. It was as though some sort of evil spell had been cast on me. I was really really disappointed on my long drive back home. But after a while I regained my contention and I looked back on the positive side of the day: I had successfully tested some cheap Chinese plastic worms scented with a homemade garlic ointment I had discovered in the internet. I also reflected on my possible failures. Maybe I should’ve set the hook more forcefully so that my Gamakatsu hook had pierced the hard cheek bone of the bass. It’s really hard to extract it from that part even using some pliers. Well that’s fishing! And we fishermen are fortunate people to be healthy enough to go fishing even when some big fish shake off the hook. Surely after the anger some laughs will come and some stories to tell to family and friends. Certainly a reason for gratitude being able to go fishing.
Always lived in the south. Never had the opportunity to catch a musky. I like how they swim off. Kinda like you got me I’m not pissed. Gonna swim off cool like.
in the first part of the video i guess a truck came by and it sounded like an old DC3 airplane flying by..not complaining just thought it was funny. great fishing trip like usual, thanks!
In 70-some years of fishing the St Lawrence I've never caught a musky, and here I watch you just stack them up one after another! Thanks again for another great video, Matt! I really look forward to your weekly updates. I'm now 82, and unable to get out very often, so your adventures keep me going. Bless you my friend, and happy fishing!

Nothing is more satisfying in this world than taking a buddy fishing and fishing behind them and schooling them.😂
😂
This is why i do not like to fish with other people 😂
Yep. Back of the boat refishing water that the owner of the boat already fished😂
I never imagined a Muskie hitting a whacky worm. Matt, you are the sensei of kayak fishing.
Especially a dark colored one; what looks like that (10") in those waters?
Pike absolutely love larger wacky rigs for me too, have picked up some monster pike trying for bass
Darker colored lures seem to do well in murky water

Could feel the tension on the trip after the 3rd fish was caught. Buddy was sweating. Rofl. 🎉😂❤
I kind of had the roles reversed a few trips later fishing with another guy, wondering what I was doing wrong and not catching any lol. Sometimes it’s just about having the luck of getting your lure in the right spot.
Great content guys-then again it always is. Matt you said at the beginning that the Wacky Worm fell a bit quick. I don't know if it's something you can still purchase, but yrs back we used to put small "insertable floats" into plastic lures to help regulate their fall rates, and keep them off the bottom, or to make the pincers of certain crawfish lures float if they weren't sold that way, etc. Some even had beads for a "rattle" effect. Just a thought to pass along to use with the Wacky Worm. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this with us. This was awesome
Great job Matt really enjoyed this video!
Yup, I’m very certain that you could catch fish in a mud puddle! Lol. Awesome day with another awesome video. Thanks for the entertainment. 🤙
amazing brother, big lure for big fish....
Hello! I see you have a new net! Cool! :) Your videos are very good, congratulations!
I’m going to Lake of the Woods this week with some MNKFA friends chasing giant Northerns. You should come with! 😀 last year we caught several nice ones, including two 40-inch fish.
I’m tempted to head up there! I might have to check out the weather and see if it’s worth the long drive or if I’d just get blown around in my kayak.
We stick to Bostic Bay, which (mostly) protects us from the winds). Weather looks decent, 50s mostly. We’ll be there Friday thru Sunday. Join us!
What a day! Thanks for the ride matt
You've been off my algorithm for some time now. Glad to have you back

Nice day on the water ! Good stuff
Love to be out on the water with you, buddy!
Four monsters trying a new lure. The level of satisfaction must’ve been indescribable!!! Unlike my case yesterday on a largemouth fishing trip. I caught six fish around 2 pounds. It took a lot of effort and a long walk on a fairly hot day and my back really hurt at some moments. Not a big deal but fairly satisfying. But the frustrating part of it was that I lost other six bass, nice bass, and three of them over three pounds. They simply got unhooked in the battle near the bank while I was trying not to trip over while looking for a shallow part to safely get the animal. Except for one: I saw the wake of a bass approaching my weightless rigged senko-type worm accurately cast parallel two meters off the bank. On just setting the hook my double uni knot broke off and most weird of it I recovered a tiny part (less than 1 cm) of the fluorocarbon on the braid whose noose came intact! The braid had cut off the fluorocarbon! Unbelievable…Some thirty minutes later and some 100 meters away I saw a big bass cruising around with a strange distinctive clear spot on the tip of its mouth. I am quite sure that “spot” was my double colored pink-green plastic worm sticking out. That was some hour after I started fishing and I still had five hours ahead for making up that disappointment ( the second one around).
I recalled Matt’s frustration when he lost that huge muskie on his last video but he was happily and greatly made up when he managed to catch the other monsters. Not my case. Two of my last fish lost were over three pounds and that unfortunately happened at the end of the day and therefore with no other fish to make up. It was simply I was telling myself “At last a big fish that makes me forget the previous disappointments!” and then…the fish came off!!! I felt like crying like a kid out of frustration. It was as though some sort of evil spell had been cast on me. I was really really disappointed on my long drive back home.
But after a while I regained my contention and I looked back on the positive side of the day: I had successfully tested some cheap Chinese plastic worms scented with a homemade garlic ointment I had discovered in the internet. I also reflected on my possible failures. Maybe I should’ve set the hook more forcefully so that my Gamakatsu hook had pierced the hard cheek bone of the bass. It’s really hard to extract it from that part even using some pliers.
Well that’s fishing! And we fishermen are fortunate people to be healthy enough to go fishing even when some big fish shake off the hook. Surely after the anger some laughs will come and some stories to tell to family and friends. Certainly a reason for gratitude being able to go fishing.
Thanks for a great video Matt, River Monsters.......
Glad to see Jacob was not skunked
I love these videos so much also early congrats on 400K!!!
Always lived in the south. Never had the opportunity to catch a musky. I like how they swim off. Kinda like you got me I’m not pissed. Gonna swim off cool like.
You caught the most, but Jacob caught the biggest. What a beautiful muskie!
Muskie
Matt:The fish of 50 casts.
Everyone else: The fish of 10,000 casts.
in the first part of the video i guess a truck came by and it sounded like an old DC3 airplane flying by..not complaining just thought it was funny. great fishing trip like usual, thanks!
The black wacky is definitely a Musky killer. Your partner should have been using the same thing the whole time. Great video thanks 👍👍
