Your fishery is absolutely amazing. Five 20”s in one day? Unreal. Your calm demeanor is also amazing. You’d be hearing a lot of Ric Flair whoooos from me on those fish.
Thanks Eric! I actually caught a couple more 20”s but I went back the next day and caught those other two again once they moved onto their beds. I plan on using them in one of my next videos so I didn’t want to keep uploading the same fish getting caught multiple times lol. I missed a couple more giants early in the morning too that I could have picked up with a jig or worm but moved on to the next one with the Plopper instead.
Dude...you've got to be from the south to reference the Rick Flair whooo. From my youth I remember watching Mid Atlantic wrestling on a 15" black and white TV. That's been a while....those were the days.
Eric Bowman hahahaha
He may remain calm, but he certainly knows how to style and profile when it comes to catching smallmouths.
i'd be on the water 15h a day if i had a river this good near me
You ain't lieing bro!.
Id be there 24/7
I'm sure there is you just have to find it. Less pressure generally help a ton
I know man. Most of the rivers where I live a full of runoff from farms and factories. The fish we do catch tend to look pretty sickly unless you travel a long way upstream.
You find the less pressured spots you will catch them
So Surgical with those casts 🎯
Well due to my favorite video of yours I bought a bbz-1 rat, I went to a spot I’ve never fished before today to try and see if I couldn’t wrestle up any smallies and instead I caught my personal best largemouth. So I thought the day couldn’t get any better but I see I was wrong
Congrats on the PB!
All I can say is WOW!
I get 1 smallie in the 19" range a season and consider it a good year.
Five 20" tanks in one trip just doesn't seem right.
Good for you.
thats about the average that he catches around there lol.
I love your videos, straight to fishing. No long introductions and annoying music and man you can cast!
Hell yeah, coffee and a new NDYakAngler vid on a Sat morning!
The Tiger Woods of fishing, casting on dime size landing areas, like Tiger on a green..what a beauty!
Your casts are really accurate... Im a decent fisherman but i think i would have hung that 75 in the trees at least once lol..
I'm sure he is both a great caster and a good editor...all the bad casts end up on the cutting room floor. I know mine do!
My thoughts exactly. And even if his bad ones do end up on the editing floor, the casts he does not edit out are amazingly accurate.
Those are some beautiful bass. Every time I watch I get so jealous
YES!!! ME TOO!!! :)
Me three!!!
I owe you a HUGE thank you for introducing me to the Whopper Plopper for smallies. I’ve been crushing them in Middle TN on the 90 size. It works all day long!! You have some of the best content on TH-cam and I love your channel. Thank you so much for everything you do and keep up the great work brother!
Me too. Thanks to this amazing channel I caught big bass, smallies and largies, and northern pike on Choppos (the Berkley clone) this summer and fall. Used 75 and 90 size and the top water action was awesome. Here in Canada the Choppo is sometimes $10 cheaper.
I love your videos! You're always so calm. Even when you hook a fish you don't break stride in a thought. You are a soft-spoken master at work. You are the Bob Ross of fishing! 🎣
That last 20" was unusually beautiful.
When I eat taco bell I have a lot in common with spawning smallies... I too have to fan out my bed.
5-20s in one day, whopper plopper heaven!!! Awesome video!!!
The small bite has been good on the Rock river here in Beloit, thanks for showing me and getting me hooked on Kayak and whopper poppers. Awesome
Love these videos. Don't change a thing. I look forward to each one. Thank you. Goes good with sun morning coffee.
A real fisherman catches a 105” limit. Seriously, that was an amazing day we just spent together. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for another great video -- I think you're the Bob Ross of angling!!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work my friend.
Another great day of bass ! That Whopper Plopper is a great lure!
best fishing channel on youtube hands down. thank you sire for the unreal content
Every time I see you post a video I get so excited!!
Been catching some of the biggest smallies of my life this spring on the plopper 75 up here in western New York keep up the plopper videos there awsome!!!!
I came by your videos and I enjoy watching them. Thank you!!
One of the only TH-cam channels I Like before even watching the video! Awesome channel!
I know what jig I buying next! That super catch! Bass Lady loves this! On my pontoon fishing boat I keep this float to go retrieve my lures.or other people lures...which is a hobby when not fishing. Thanks for share!
I'm watching this 3yrs later, all I gotta say is DAAAAAAAAAAMN!!! now that's a fishing day, really nice video.
What Tim said, your casts are perfect, you are Da' Man. I have to live vicariously through your videos.
I called the first "she wanted whopper plopper for breakfast" line right before he said it. Then I laughed out loud when he said it. Love it man. Keep up the awesome "work".
It is amazingly cool how big those small mouth’s tails are. Such powerful swimmers, just gorgeous fish.
I am so jealous!! Beautiful smallmouth. All of them are great quality fish
this was an insane trip !!! so awesome
Absolutely love your videos. Thanks!
Down here in VA those 19 to 20 fish are hard to find. I enjoy watching you catch them beauties up north. Keep them vids coming.
Those bass are so beautifully colored. Excellent video.
You had a great morning! Nice job! I just bought my first Whopper Plopper and caught a largemouth just last night!
Best smallie fisherman alive! 👍🎣 always love the videos
Just got a new kayak with a power pole and you and greg blanchard were big reasons why. Keep killing it and thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks and congrats, the power pole is a game changer in moving water!
The conservation guys and fisheries folks clearly do a great job in your state. Must be sweet to go out to these clear streams filled with aquatic plants and catch for fun and release. Good to see your husbandry of the resource and obvious enjoyment of the sport.
I saw this title and instantly loved the vid!!
I just bought 2 whopper ploppers 75 sz one loon and one bone. I never knew thet tails were flexible. Nice topwater lures. Yea the topwater Bite is addicting. Those are some impressive fish. Smallies are beautiful 🎣
Shenandoah River has been tough lately, this provided so much inspiration!!! (I may or may not have paused this at the 8 minute mark and went to the store and bought 2 whopper ploppers)
I've been patiently waiting for another video!
See you picked up in 2019 right where you left off! Awesome content man! I love it
I was watching another channel similar to yours, but I could only take 5 minutes of the monotone screeching before I had to stop and come back here. Thanks for being you. I consume this channel like TV. I'm probably not the only one.
Haha was having a bad time trying to start my homework, as soon as I find the way to set to work, pops up!!! New NDY video!!! xD
Great action! Love it.
I love that war paint look around the Smallmouth Bass eyes.
Definitely great ! I'm using that whopplop with a zebco22 spincaster (ol skool fishin) spooled with 12lb line. and an old shortgrip solid glass rod.
What a great day, been raining and flooding here, this was just what I needed thanks for the video.
What a great fisheries!!!!
Great vids bud!!!
Wow, what a great group of fish.
Everything stops when ND uploads!
I want to thank you so much for getting me on to whopper ploppers and getting over my nervousness of using a bait caster. Love the channel should try and do a co op vid with Milliken Fishing would love to see you guys chasing tank smallies.
Great video my friend awesome fish hell of a day!!!
I love the small mouth red eyes👹
What an awesome day brother! Great vid as always. Tight lines from Michigan
You just caught 100" of smallies for your best 5. I've never seen that before. Unreal!
What an amazing fishery!
Love your videos 🙌🏻
Newfound respect for you sir. Paddled upriver 3.5 miles from my usual take-out to my favorite section last friday, what a workout! River was high and moving fast, but yours is fast as well i notice in the narrower reaches. That'll make a man out of ya if done frequently! Was worth it though to catch my first Smallie of 19'. Also thanks for turning me onto the color black. I would not have bought 3.8 Keitech swing impacts in Black Shad if it wasn't for your success with black, landed 18 3/4" of Bronze fury yesterday, they really liked that color in the stained water. I'm definitely ordering 5" Kalins in Black now, have done well with green pumpkin, same as the Keitechs, but now it's all about black😎
It’s a workout this time of year when the water is really moving! I’ll have to try the Keitechs in that color.
Beautiful fishery, awesome fish!
Been waiting on this! Love ur fall video! Awesome. Content man 💪 💯
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BETTER THAN TOP WATER SMALLIES, REAL NICE 🐟👌
Great video as usual. I was nailing them on the Ned Rig today.
You literally make such accurate casts effortlessly
This river is insane -- I've read a bit about the restoration there back in the 90s-- hope I can make it up this season -- what a treasure +1 Like :)
Amazing as always! Going out today with the ploppers and buzz baits, fingers crossed.
Highlights of the video:
Literally the whole thing
You're right! Check me out!!!
i wish i can fish again i love to watch the way you fish im getting old and had heart trouble thanks keep it up good luck al from commack ny
Great session
i've fished lake winnipesaukee NH for over 45 years so i know a thing or two about smallies...those fish are stunning
That's awesome man, your average smallie is a REAL nice catch around where I am, don't seem to have a lot of size in our stream's, maybe 3-4 a year.. that's what is cool about watching your videos
Now THAT looks like fun!! You almost need a bigger net!
Man that is a great smallmouth fishery ,,im jealous ,great videos
Love your channel. Recently picked up a couple WP75's and landed 3 nice largemouth on my first trip. All were about 1.5 to 2lbs.
Nice video, alot of quality fish! Jig bite is on fire here
King of the smallies
Jesus man what an awsome day of smallie fishing. Wow
Great catches
Never seen so many 20 inch smallies in one stretch of river!
Whopper plopper smallie vids are the best
Uses one top water lure all day and rips lips. Yes please! 🙌🏻
Awesome video! I got the topwater itch now!
Love the vids man👍
If I watch anyone else's fishing videos I get bored after 3-4 min . But , 14 min. Of yours went by like it was nothing . I swear I could watch you fish all day.
U killed it bro!🎣🤙
Keep it going brother... great job
Love getting these notifications!
As usual, another great video.
Your passion for topwater equals mine. Some of those smallies hit on top as hard as the redfish in Carolina Beach!
Yes yes yes yes❗️❗️❗️ Saturday is complete
Those smallies are ridiculous!
Dude - you have exceptional casting skills. Very impressive, which leads to some impressive fish! :-)
Amazing video my dude 👍🏼
You are the SMALLMOUTH KING
That’s some pretty nice casting going on there...🎣
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! All your fish are "tanks". I like the quality of all your videos
