Ha! So true. The burden of being a fisherman in these excessive modern times! Occasionally I do go out with a small handful of lures and one rod and it's a great feeling. Even though it's kind of like leaving the house without your cell phone, keys, wallet and clothes all at the same time!
lol When I go kayak fishing I have at least 2- 3600 Plano boxes. Yesterday I had those and red worms and night crawlers because last time I wish I had brought worms. They all paid off
The best catch was your friend getting your lure!! I lost the top 3 or 4 sections of my fishing pole once in a huge reservoir…my uncle put on a treble hook and a lead weight and actually managed to get it back off the bottom somehow!! That was 25+ years ago, I’ll never forget it. 1 in a million cast!!
Those were spawn wounds, they get pretty aggressive with their mates. We had a late spring this year, usually by mid summer they’re starting to heal up.
Yes he was & anytime you can get a lure that cost that much back it's a good day . if i were Jacob i would have taken matt up on the use of his back up Whopper Plopper !!! . Hey also sore ankles would be worth it to nail the Muskies Matt was catching. I would be buying Jacob a cold beer for that retrieve for sure.
You have become my go to fishing guy. You unlike alot of other channels dont blow my ear out when they catch something. So ty for the great content . You kayaking videos are fantastic
I started fishing the Whopper Plopper because of your videos - that was a sick intro! And the quality of the smallies in your area is simply amazing. Thanks for always putting out great fishing videos.
Have looked over 50 of your video's so far and still you keep surprising me with unique content and mostly way different as the others. Keep going bud love your content!
I'm always so envious of your skills, there's a Muskee that i've been trying to catch at a nearby lake for years that I call "The Lake Legend" and it is! its huge with a blind or whited eye. Even though i've only had a 30 second fight with it hes the coolest Muskee I know. Im just envious on how easy you make it seem!
I don't care what you're fishing for when the topwater bite is on fire you're in for a great time... Another great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
I grabbed them today and they look awesome! I’m sure the fish will hammer them! I’ll probably hold onto them until late August-September when the smallie topwater bite is hot and spend a day trying them out on the river.
Fish of 10,000 casts and our friend here land 4 (almost 5) in one day. Congrats on the amazing day on the river, man. Thanks for taking us along with you :)
I've caught 2 Muskie in like 30 years and had a few on and broke off. You all are amazing. I would like to just do a tour of US spillways screw the 100k boat and 6 dollar a gallon gas. Fish on men
Sam, I think all you need to do is to go to Minnesota where they are & as i found out the one time i did get out there it's such a great fishery there's no need to travel the States to find out some of the best fishing is in that area. We have Tiger Muskie here in MD but it's pretty rare to catch them . I've only caught one & it was in Triadelphia Reservoir . Fish on !!!
Cool video man!! If it was me, I would have used the other Whopper Popper when you offered. Your fishing partner needs a raise, he had your back all day. Netting your fish and saving your lure. Great video, I really enjoyed. Gonna give you a sub
As A Pike angler in Holland I am really excited to go and fish for some Musky's someday they are so much more aggressive as Pike's and the pattern also gives me a really good feeling!
What's wrong with Iowa? I live just northeast of you in Wisconsin and our fishing is pretty decent even though there's so many people. When I went out to the dakotas I slayed them, like the fish had never seen a lure.
Muskie fisherman I know here in Kentucky that fish one of the best Muskie lakes in the country they say go days without even raising one, and you catch multiple everything you go. Crazy! Great video man, that spillway is loaded!
I just went out to the spillway at around sunset for a couple hours and didn’t get a thing, but good job man. Always motivating when you’re videos come out.
Hello brother. I religiously follow every single video of yours. I too enjoy kayak fishing. It would be of great help if you did a video of how you have your camera set up on your hat. That is a pretty amazing set up you have there with great audio.
A good fishing buddy will watch you catch the big ones, net the big ones for you and then take your picture with the monsters. A great fishing buddy will rescue your lost lure so you can keep on fishing. Well done Jacob 👍🏻
Ed, You got that right . If i were Matt i would be buying Jacob a cold beer of his choice for that act of friendship. Damn lucky the lure was coming their way or it would have been a trip back to the store or Amazon. I do think Jacob should have taken Matt up on his offer to use his backup Whopper Plopper.
I let him use my 130 to make sure he caught a muskie before we took off. I had enough of the camera on my head by that point but I think he got it on film.
Sometimes pike and Muskie and other bass try to grab the bait or fish out of the mouth of the fish that you have on your line. This sometimes contributes to how erratically the fish is fighting. My late dad hooked a sunfish on a worm and and as he was bringing it in, a large pike came up and ripped the sunfish off his line. It was funny, the pike sat in the current right in front of us as we looked off the bridge, chomping on that Pumpkinseed and taunting my dad.😆😂🤣
Thanks! That other comment was spam, going through deleting all those I can find. I’m surprised they get past TH-cam’s new “increased strictness” spam filter when they reply to like 50 comments with the same thing.
wow bro what a great day the fish of 10000 cast u cought 4 back 2 back iam down n out on my back right now but this video made my day I love watching big ol musky break the water.anyway GOD BLESS
Insane day of fishing man, congrats on those beautiful muskies man!!! Thas the kind of morning we all pray for 😔! Great content bro, keep up the great work.
I am envious of the smaller tackle box… I just have no discipline to limit myself to less than 400 lures…
Same! But I only end up using 3 the entire day lol
Ha! So true. The burden of being a fisherman in these excessive modern times! Occasionally I do go out with a small handful of lures and one rod and it's a great feeling. Even though it's kind of like leaving the house without your cell phone, keys, wallet and clothes all at the same time!
lol When I go kayak fishing I have at least 2- 3600 Plano boxes. Yesterday I had those and red worms and night crawlers because last time I wish I had brought worms. They all paid off
Same lol
This is the truest shit I'll see all day 🤣 like the other guy said. I bring 400 and only use 3 🤦
The best catch was Jacob snagging the $17 whopper plopper!! Well done!
Only 10$ at dicks sporting goods now
The best catch was your friend getting your lure!! I lost the top 3 or 4 sections of my fishing pole once in a huge reservoir…my uncle put on a treble hook and a lead weight and actually managed to get it back off the bottom somehow!! That was 25+ years ago, I’ll never forget it. 1 in a million cast!!
Best fishing videos on TH-cam imho. Cheers from Italy!
dude your literally the bob ross of fishing. Calming voice, creativity, outdoor scenes. Its all the same your just doing it without paint
Bob Ross,?? Wtf!
Looking at the damage on each of those muskies you can tell there's competition for the spots and catches.
Was wondering if they were nesting / breeding after seeing all the tattered tails and damage myself.
Those were spawn wounds, they get pretty aggressive with their mates. We had a late spring this year, usually by mid summer they’re starting to heal up.
"I went out this morning for a couple hours and caught 4 muskie" - said no one but Matt.
"Nice healthy release." Your videos are an anglers dream. But who you are on the water is why I tune in and subscribe. Respect.✌️
Matt, you're my #1 fishing hero. I have several dozen, but you're on top. Epic day!
My ankles hurt just looking at those rocks. Jacob was a great buddy to have at that spot! Very impressive plopper retrieve!!
Yes he was & anytime you can get a lure that cost that much back it's a good day . if i were Jacob i would have taken matt up on the use of his back up Whopper Plopper !!! . Hey also sore ankles would be worth it to nail the Muskies Matt was catching. I would be buying Jacob a cold beer for that retrieve for sure.
Literally the chillest I’ve seen someone catch a Muskie
@NDYakAngler. You’re like the only channel I want to give a standing ovation for every time you smoothly transition and fade out the video.
😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"a muskie took a swipe at it, he came back" "second muskie of the day" words many anglers don't get the chance to utter...
Been chasing one in Michigan for about 10 years and still haven’t put it on my list .
Woww what an awesome fishing session!! 5 muskies in one spot that is just insane!! Thanks for the great vid!!
Looks like a heck of a morning! Always good when ya get to say “my arms are hurtin’”. Thanks for sharing!
Man - that day of muskies could be a lifetime for some of us! Great video.
Insane! Who catches 4, hooks 5 musky in one outing. Let alone in a year. Crazy, you're the man matt
My favorite part of this video is Jacob retrieving your Whopper Plopper. Fishing is both quiet solitude and a brotherhood of outdoorsmen.
That was a great save by Jacob!
You have become my go to fishing guy. You unlike alot of other channels dont blow my ear out when they catch something. So ty for the great content . You kayaking videos are fantastic
I started fishing the Whopper Plopper because of your videos - that was a sick intro! And the quality of the smallies in your area is simply amazing. Thanks for always putting out great fishing videos.
This guy catches muskie like some would catch a mess of bluegill!
😂
This is insane how much you caught here. So jealous!!
Have looked over 50 of your video's so far and still you keep surprising me with unique content and mostly way different as the others. Keep going bud love your content!
He has a very unique approach to his videos. And I enjoy it a lot compared to many other’s.
Unbelievable fishing!! Wow
Early morning fishing. Plenty of monster muskie. Buddy scooping up your lost whopper popper Priceless.
I love watching this guy, I wish I could catch the ton of fish he does! So jealous!
I'm always so envious of your skills, there's a Muskee that i've been trying to catch at a nearby lake for years that I call "The Lake Legend" and it is! its huge with a blind or whited eye. Even though i've only had a 30 second fight with it hes the coolest Muskee I know. Im just envious on how easy you make it seem!
One of the coolest looking spillways loaded with 2 of my favorite fish to target 🔥👊🏻 love it thanks for making this video
I don't care what you're fishing for when the topwater bite is on fire you're in for a great time... Another great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Awesome lure and the best fishing vlog I've seen
I watch these vids for the great fishing and for our dude to say “The Whoppper Plopper”
the best fishing channel on you tube. all action and information.
Your videos have turned me on to Whopper Ploppers and they’ve changed my life for the better. THANK YOU !!! 🙏
Sometimes it’s hard to throw anything else if there’s a chance they’re hitting topwater!
Same here, it's all I've been using now. I have two in the mail right now and just ordered 3 more after watching this video lol
"Muskie: the fish of 1,000 casts" NDYakAngler: HOLD MY BEER!
😂😂😂I agree!😂😂
the engagement of the telescoping net handle @3:40 did not go unnoticed. The coordination is impressive
One of these days I’ll remember to extend it at the start of the day before I’m fighting a fish trying to do it!
Always love your vids over my morning coffee ☕ motivates me to get out and catch some fish!
Great day on the muskies. Congrats 🐟. Love fishing spillways.👍💯
My shirt from achigan was delivered the day this video dropped. Made for a good day.
I swear, may to June in the aDks they will snatch the bone white plopper every cast! I love your content man!
“Musky on the plopper.” …a sentence that is just so satisfying to hear🤘🎣 …Great day, Matt👍 Happy 4th of July weekend to you🇺🇸
The lures should have arrived today! Have fun unboxing, I feel pretty good about them. I hope you really like poppers.
Awesome thanks man I’ll stop by the post office this weekend and grab it!
I grabbed them today and they look awesome! I’m sure the fish will hammer them! I’ll probably hold onto them until late August-September when the smallie topwater bite is hot and spend a day trying them out on the river.
Muskie is my dream fish and you catch them like they are an everyday fish!!!!! Don’t know how ya do it.
Just cant get enough of your vids, so relaxing
👀smh what a day! I was so inspired by those smallies holing their own in muskie infested waters lol 😆
Gotta love catching some nice ones on the plopper!
I have been fishing for 40 years and have yet to catch a Musky ! It's my bucket list fish and so cool to see you slaying them !
Fish of 10,000 casts and our friend here land 4 (almost 5) in one day. Congrats on the amazing day on the river, man. Thanks for taking us along with you :)
Love seeing you fish from all sorts of different places. Great video as always Matt!
Thanks to you I just walk down the creek with my whopper plopper 75 tied on and that’s all I have to bring for the day 😂😂
I've caught 2 Muskie in like 30 years and had a few on and broke off. You all are amazing. I would like to just do a tour of US spillways screw the 100k boat and 6 dollar a gallon gas. Fish on men

All I can say is wow, what a day!

Awesome video ‼️ You were at the right place, right time, right lure…
Great vid thanks for the tip on the plopper I had great fun w/ mine this morning!
Man wat a day n yeah that eat there at shore was sick!!!
Cool video man!! If it was me, I would have used the other Whopper Popper when you offered. Your fishing partner needs a raise, he had your back all day. Netting your fish and saving your lure. Great video, I really enjoyed. Gonna give you a sub

The man the myth the legend
The amount of good fishing I see on this channel really makes me hate that I live in Iowa.
Same
What's wrong with Iowa? I live just northeast of you in Wisconsin and our fishing is pretty decent even though there's so many people. When I went out to the dakotas I slayed them, like the fish had never seen a lure.
Muskie fisherman I know here in Kentucky that fish one of the best Muskie lakes in the country they say go days without even raising one, and you catch multiple everything you go. Crazy! Great video man, that spillway is loaded!
Here in mid Michigan. I’ve found out that Muskies hunt and feed in packs.
Muskie......the fish of one thousand, (scratch that) one cast! 🤣
That's a sucky feeling when you get snagged and your friend hooks up first cast, hahahha
great body of water.nice muskies. best fishing vids ever
"Muskie, the fish of 10,000 casts."
NDYak: "Hold my beer."
Love the videos man, it is the community of TH-cam Anglers like you that have inspired me to start my own Channel!
Whopper plopper is a favorite of mine.
That 110 perch on the river by my house is amazing. Smallmouth just can't leave it alone.
Dang, if it weren’t for those rocks, I’d consider driving up and fishing that stretch of river. Thanks Matt for another great video.
Where is the spillway at on the river?
Geez...Fishing with Matt is like golfing with Tiger Woods. Get used to saying, "Nice fish!" a lot. 😁
Awesome action broski!
Amazing! Thanks for yet another great video.
I just went out to the spillway at around sunset for a couple hours and didn’t get a thing, but good job man. Always motivating when you’re videos come out.
Where is it?
Which spillway is this? I've gone to a couple in the area.
@@NickT-bx9hs surely you're joking with that question
Hello brother. I religiously follow every single video of yours. I too enjoy kayak fishing. It would be of great help if you did a video of how you have your camera set up on your hat. That is a pretty amazing set up you have there with great audio.
Took out the ploppers last night for some smallmouth action here in pa and boy was it a blast.
A good fishing buddy will watch you catch the big ones, net the big ones for you and then take your picture with the monsters. A great fishing buddy will rescue your lost lure so you can keep on fishing. Well done Jacob 👍🏻

Holy Crapola!!!! Nice
Excellent, thank you
good idea to retie after a few musky. love that spillway
Ah, the noble Muskie...or as Matt calls him, "The fish of four casts."
a fish of a thousand casts my foot, at least when NDYakAngler is fishing...looks like a blast!!
You catch more Muskies then guys with musky channels. Awesome.
Awesome video! Wow, ! some EPIC CATCHES there in the river. Good video, keep up the great work.
Awesome day, thank you for entertaining us.
What????
Thanks! That other comment was spam, going through deleting all those I can find. I’m surprised they get past TH-cam’s new “increased strictness” spam filter when they reply to like 50 comments with the same thing.
Thanks for the show
Thank you for the entertainment.
Your buddy catching your lure was catch of the day for sure. Hope your bought him some lunch lol.
I borrowed him the Plopper after I filmed my outro segment and he finally caught a muskie!
That's awesome! Definitely better than a hamburger.
Great job! Beautiful day and beautiful fish!
Matt’s ability to catch fish is legendary. I’m moving to Fargo man fuck it 😂
Favorite part of the week
wow bro what a great day the fish of 10000 cast u cought 4 back 2 back iam down n out on my back right now but this video made my day I love watching big ol musky break the water.anyway GOD BLESS
Awesome day fishing congratulations
Walked into my buddies house and he was watching you. We both have been fans for quite some time but had no idea.
Love my BassX.
Best all-around rod for big bass and muskie.
10,000 casts? hold my beer! looks like a great time. good stuff
Insane day of fishing man, congrats on those beautiful muskies man!!! Thas the kind of morning we all pray for 😔! Great content bro, keep up the great work.
Those are quality fish for sure.
