- One hour until sunset, let's find some frog bass! It's a relaxing evening of kayak fishing, at least until something smashes my topwater lure!

Love your content. No typical "TH-camr" BS (merch plugs, Like + subscribe, constant cuts, etc.) You've got my sub. Thanks for the awesome work!
Terry, something to keep in mind is that a lot of these guys main source of income is TH-cam. They are marketing for their business just like any other company would. I do agree it is nice to not have to hear it all the time though.
My thoughts exactly Terry. This is why I subbed.
You will enjoy the content he puts out
@@barrymcbride I've been subbed for quite a while now. He is the Smallmouth king. 😃
Yep really shows how desperate some people are for money while others just want to show people the joys of fishing!
That northern bite scared the crap out of me! The quiet suspense leading up to it totally got me there! Nice stuff, great video!
I had to laugh how fast it went from "throwing the frog away" to the pike "Please don't take my Frog" hahahahaha!
I’ve been watching you for over a year , love your content my girl and I watch your content in the evenings after dinner 😂😂 , she recently got us kayaks for my birthday so we’ve been doing a lot off that and I love it !!!! I take a lot of the things I do and my kayaking tactics based off how you do it and it’s payed off very well !!! Thank you so much for the amazing content you provide
“Not a bad way to spend the evening” Matt says after fishing in the solitude of this beautiful lake and getting more than quite a good catch. A marvellous video as always, a nice ride on a kayak hearing the relaxing sound of the paddled water, the calm comments of this man which do not distract you from the fishing action and the joy of the natural scenery at sunset like this mirror surfaced lake.
I love the frog but my favourite topwater lure is a prop lure, particularly the Rapala Skitter Prop which provided me with unforgettable moments in september.
That frog bite can be fun and frustrating at the same time. I appreciate your sharing the frustrating part and not editing it out to post 10 minutes of your "greatest hits" instead. Helps us all realize if it was all catching and less fishing than we'd never learn anything. Thanks for the evening trip Matt.
Became completely immersed in that frogging journey!! You make me feel like I'm right there in the kayak with you!!! Keep up the wonderful content! Can't wait for you next video!
Tight lines, Christine.
Man, you are easily the most underrated fisherman on TH-cam. Not even googan squad has as good and calm and many big erupts to big fish as you do. Keep it up my friend!
Very enjoyable! Thanks for taking me with again. It was nice because it didn't feel like 90 degrees in my seat!🌞😌🐟
If there's ever a question whether a lure belongs to me, just look for "file marks" on the hooks. It's one of the top tips I ever learned. In fact it came from Minnesota's own Al Linder who enabled the noticeable increase in my "strike/catch ratio" with little effort. Great video Matt; made lunchtime much better. *God bless.*
Frogs are always so fun. I can never get rid of one. Only thing funner is the whopper plopper. Thanks for sharing this with us.
love the way the fish are the stars of your channel and that it feels like I'm sitting behind you in the kayak . I find the anticipation when you toss a top water into a fishy looking spot beautiful, hell I find myself forgetting to breathe sometimes 😏
Gosh! That pike got my heart stopped for a second 😂. Nice video as usual!
This content is so relaxing and enjoyable. Love the channel and the straight to the point of fishing! Lol.
Brilliant as usual… I never cease to be amazed at your casting skills with that baitcaster. Also shows areas of your beautiful state that we would never see on the other side of the world ( Aust) . Thanks again
Just one more cast......just one more cast......just one more cast.....Right? That Pike hit was SICK!! scared me too....LoLl!
Matt, your videos bring me back to my life back home.
Love your shows my man! I’ve taught my kids the importance of a back cast into a good spot as the boat passes by! Sometimes bringing your plug through the same hole from a different direction will cause “Ol Moe” to strike
That pike strike was vicious. That thing attacked w/follow through! 👍🏼🎣
You’ve probably been told this before, but you are like the Bob Ross of fishing to me. I can watch your videos for hours… you are so chill and so calm! We just love you!
I have had a terrible hookup ratio on my frogs this year. I switched up to the zman goat toadz lately, huge improvement. Highly recommend you giver a go Matt. Cheers
Great action and amazes me no ones ever around. Tight Lines!!!
By far the best angler on TH-cam!!
I don't know why it never gets old watching and hearing you catch fish. Keep it goin!
Idk if you actually have a box for cursed lures but it would be fun to see a video of you trying to break the curse on some of them.
"Starting To Think My Frog Was Cursed" must be code for "Took me more than an hour to land a 5 pounder, ugh" -- My thoughts prior to watching your video today 😆
No clickbait, no constant cuts,no “like and subscribe “, just pure calm fishing
Well done sir!! really enjoy these videos. No electronic devices, just common sense and patience. I've zero luck with frogs and watching them being spit out isn't fun, but you proved they can work just fine!! I'm in my happy place now!
The sunset hour tends to yield some great catches. Love your top water game. Also thanks for being true and showing your misses and grinding to find the fish. Keep true to the sport and passion of fishing.
Solid solid fish like usual sir. That surprise pike was a fun one too! I’m almost back at the point where I can kayak fish more consistently 😀
dude that one bass that really breached was so mad
nice freshwater barracuda too
ur videos have become next level
you acrually didnt need to be catching fish at this spot coulda been jusr floating
On the road to 300k subs, very much deserved as well. Thanks for the quality videos.
Yeah buddy! Love those frogs too ... 🎣🐸👍
The places you fish are the stuff of my dreams. The scenery is amazing. Where I’m at doesn’t really have many lakes/ponds like this.
I do miss that zing a bit from the shimano dc. I love the sounds from the quiet paddles to the reel strain loaded with braid. So satisfying. 👌
A Virginia boy here when have you ever struck blood with smallmouth and it lived..love you brother
Your videos are awesome you have a lot of talent when you fight those musky and pike while trying to control your kayak
Oh Boy, Oh Boy... we're going FISHING!!!😁👏👏
I would love to go fishing with you some time! (From Wisconsin)
It would be fun to get a Wisconsin group out on Kayaks! I’m in SW Wisco, but I travel all over
I would love to collab with NDYak as he is one of my top inspirations!
LOL...We all would... :P
Awesome silhouette of you at the 920 mark😁
You are awesome no adding music to the backround just natural sounds. You deserve at least a million subscribers.
In Australia I remember the older blokes telling me to rub my lures that weren’t working on a fish I had caught on productive lures then release that fish therefore lifting the curse, seemed to work.
I’ll have to try that!
I love just how soothing this guy is just relaxing and fishing a perfect combo😌
I really enjoyed watching you catching fish with that frog. I have a few of those and I like to use them on shallow water especially in the areas with lots of vegetation. Great video here and that bonus pike was awesome. Looking forward to seeing more content on your channel. Cheers.
Always a fun time when you let us tag along with you
Bob Ross of fishing!!
Thanks again. I landed my first Small Mouth last weekend. Wow what a fight! 😁 I am hooked.
Loses a nice bass and he calmly chuckles.. love the positive attitude.. I don't get over losing a nice fish for atleast a week haha
Love those crowded lakes in Minnesota. LOL
I usually bend the hooks out away from the body a little on frog baits like that. Makes a world of difference for me anyway.
I do the same!
@@ndyakangler Really enjoying the latest videos. I'm hoping to start a channel soon.
90• F day is an average one down South! I’ve been fishing after work and the heat is killer! Great video man, I’m a big fan of your channel, learned a lot from you.
Your videos are above par and this one did not dissappoint. Not a bad way to spend the evening indeed!
Great day on the water Matt
Those hot summer nights, no wind equals no fish (less than normal). Always the way for me.
Now that I think about it the couple times I really hammered the fish at that last spot the wind was blowing into that side of the lake most of the day until it died down the last hour or two before sunset. We had a couple 50+ fish evenings just sitting in that channel fishing the frog through there. On this trip it was calm all day so that could be a reason why there were only a few fish there. I think the water was about 6” higher back then too though.
@@ndyakangler for whatever reason, here in no. Illinois, the frog bite for me was earlier this year and only lasted a short time. I attribute that to early weed growth and early weed death, at least in my area in the deeper lakes.
Your videos are something I constantly look forward to now, I just love it
Thanks for the show
You should try the tourney special popper, I have been using it on a lake and I have caught a ton of pike and bass! You should try it out
Such a beautiful place. Thanks again for another great video
16:20….that was unreal!!! Love the vids man. Thanks
It was great to spend some time with you this evening, thank you so much for your content.
the frog action! 🐸💥 never miss a vid once it drops red on my bell! stoked for the next 1!🤙
Nice to get some pike action in there..👍
Watch every Single video and love the way he talks Is nice and calm but a beast at catching fish
Hey Yak Angler. Quick question. What types of line do you use for certain fishing techniques? Are you a fan of braid? If so do you fish straight or tie a leader. Mixed opinions about that all over, would love to hear your side. Thanks.
Braid for everything except cat. If I'm top water, I use a fluro leader. If I'm going toothy fishing, steel wire leader
@@159love159 fluro for topwater?
Cured lures!! Hahahaha, forsure I know I got plenty of those. I guess I should start a cured box too. Hahahaha
So jealous of you lakes 😔.that lake would have 35 boats on it up here in Lancaster Pa and no fish caught on the frog.lol
The “ box of cursed lures “ lol simply awesome
Ah yes the fisherman greatest dilemma, “I’m running out of time and I should really get going…but….one more cast.” Hahaha.
I like watching when you do the pike one with a 3-D suicide duck my favorite thank you
I live in MI and have never caught a bass on a frog. Now a jitterbug, or a popper. They tear those up!
I put a beat down on some nice ones today thanks for the videos I definitely have learned a couple things from you man right on 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I love frogging when I work a area I work shady side first as sun sets seems fish are in that shady line. Love the content
Imagine 10k peolpe watching you fish and its that quiet :) i love your channel thank you
Good video, the Pike stuff was especially fun... always good content 👍🎣
Top water is always a blast.
I do look forward to the weekly "Howdy everyone". Thank you for the great videos.
i lost a big pike/muskie last night (i couldnt really tell) but it destroyed the deep diving jerkbait.
thanks for the video man you will always have my sub :)
I’m with you ,I lost one yesterday morning had a pike at the tip of the kayak and he popped off
Hi, I am from France and I really like the way you make your content, simple and clear. I am just starting to make fishing videos and I don't have great tools but I try to make the best out of it. Thank you for inspiring me, great videos.
Watching all the way from Alabama! Love the videos!
Yeah I jumped when the pike hit. 🤣😂
What an awesome part of the country, it's worth dealing with winter in a place like this.
Another great video Matt. That pike was nice. Stay safe.
As usual, great stuff. Thanks for sharing what you do.
I found some Savage Gear 3d frogs in my local fishing shop.
Didn't even know they sold those in my country (belgium)!
I was fishing there when the video dropped. A bit windy out.
The Bob Ross of fisherman! LOL love this channel! subscribed!
Love to watch you fish
Cursed Bait that was funny LOL , Love the adventure in fishing
Hello NDYakAnger. You convinced me to purchase a Whopper Popper lure. I just came back from a trip north of Orr, MN. I caught a nice Smallie the first cast. And caught several more. Thanks for the endorsement !!
That’s awesome! As soon as we get a day with wind less than 30mph I’ll be hitting the river again!
Try bending the hooks outward from the body of the frog or a trailer hook to help with hook up
I always bend the hooks out on my frogs. Usually my hookup ratio is great.
I keep a frog tied on in warm weather. It's the ATV of lures. But I had not caught a bass on one in 2022 until last night. I got one and it was the only fish I caught.
I saw the wake on the second frog fish too it was so cool
NDYak you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Once I started using the Spro Flappin Frog, no other frog exists! It's that good!
I’ll have to check that one out! I need to try a few new ones. I was throwing a Teckel Maracker the other day and I really like the rattle on that one!
That’s my favorite frog pattern, but I trim a little over half of the legs off. This seemed to help me hook more fish.
Sir… idk how you stay so dang calm… that pike would’ve flatlined me haha awesome session even though it was a little rough
Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
So relaxing watching you fish. It is just therapeutic!! Great setup.
Therapeutic, I agree with you.
Absolutely clear lake 😍
90 degrees at 8 pm 😅 your a better man than me !
