A relaxing morning fishing and exploring a new lake that had awesome survey numbers for largemouth bass. Let's hop in the kayak and see if we can find some fish hungry for the topwater frog! Footage from 8-10-2023.

Crying clocking in
Ahhh yes! Perhaps you ought to seek a situation where Working IS Fishing. LOTS of options exist. Remember, Audentes Fortuna Iuvat "Fortune favors the foolish (bold)". Best wishes.
so true me everyday@@samtheangler47
not really😭 i’m 100$ lost in lures this week no fish😭😭😭
thats true..... only thinking of possibilitiy to fishing on weekend already make a working day better.😊😊😊
Top water... the fisherman's drug of choice! What a morning Matt thank you for sharing it with us
I have thrown a frog and Whopper Plopper for a few days recently hoping for that explosion. I have been sadly unfulfilled.
@TexasBassassinator its on the way my friend I'm nose deep in oak pollen everywhere here down in Florida spring is here and their busting the surface your next my friend!! Good luck out there!!
@@robbubba8020 What's the best baits to throw in Florida right now? I'm in central Florida and the most I've been able to pull off this spring has been a 4 pounder on a wacky rig. What areas of a lake should I target too right now?
@Connor-zb4uo if the bass are bedding where you are that wacky worm is a good choice... I'm no pro but I always start out with a smaller profile bait in the spring time I feel the bait hasn't grown very much yet so something in the 3 inch range is good in soft plastics or a Zara Spook Jr or a small crank bait then as we get into summer I'll start using bigger lures I like that Spook Jr in the baby bass color they really seem to like it I hope this info helps you good luck out there!
@@robbubba8020 Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
What a beautiful place to spend the day, not a soul around, some bass willing to bite, life doesn't get any better.
The Bob Ross of fishing.
happy little fish
All the happy little fish 😃
Just laughed way too hard at this 😂😂
Just that morning walk down to the water through the fog... amazing! I live for that kind of zen
I abandon my family when I see YakAngler drops a video
Do 1 better, go fishing 🎣 brother 😊
Real fisherman. No motor. No trolling motor. No FFS. A paddle and some rods. Thats a true fisherman.
Fax the dudes with there fancy fish finders and 60k boats aren't near as cool to watch and it's cheesy
Dude if your out there I’m cool with you idk why everyone has to be a purist about everything when it comes to fishing and hunting. Also don’t support high fence hunting but that’s diffrent
I love having a fish finder/sonar on my kayak. Mine is a basic old style unit. However, I understand what you are saying. The main thing is to get out and try. Sometimes you catch and sometimes you fish but you were out and enjoying the blessings you have!
You are definitely right about that man, going old school is the way to go sometimes.
all a real fisherman needs is a hook and a string. No fancy kayak no fancy paddle no bait caster or spinning reel just a string and. A hook. That’s how ridiculous you sound. Who cares how other people fish. When did the fishing community become so toxic.

Hes one of the best

@thomasmetzger9234 thank you for your service.
Sometimes it’s not about the fish you catch but the experience. This lake is beautiful. Zero traffic noise, zero other anglers. It’s almost like you had it all to yourself your own personal paradise. After looking at those fish, it makes you want to go out on that lake and spread out a couple of thousand shad to beef them up a bit.
Sometimes too many bass can be a bad thing….. Too much competition and not enough food to go around, which leads to stunted bass…..
Indeed, Id breed some crayfish and shad. Let them get up to 10,000. 10,000 shad, 10,000 crayfish, then drop them in the lake.
@@dacrosberSmaller bass are good eatin
The sights and sounds of your videos are so relaxing!
Always a good day when NDYakangler posts a frog fishing video! 🐸🐸🔥
I love how calm these videos are
So excited, your videos are my type of ASMR
Same
great way to start the day right here
Early morning frog 🐸 fishing just you and the lake 😉🙂
That’s a sweet looking launch!!
Nothing better than top water over Lily pads! Great video and glad to see you are still posting!! Keep up the lovely fishing videos 👍🎣
The Bob Ross of freshwater fishing. All we need is to paint in some happy fish.
Outstanding !...making me feel uber homesick for my ol topwater Kawartha lakes...Love from Denmark!
Ndyak got me started on kayak fishing in the Kawarthas!
@@kennethscullion2630 Nice !!....aint tried kayak...always been a canoe-dude....is there room enuf for a musky encounter? Hmmmm?....ps>top water night fishin is my forte'.....absolutely heart-stoppin moments!
I have a trailer new the Kawarthas in Ontario, in Norland! Great fishing lots of bass and walleye! Can't wait to get fishing! Cheers Dave
Much love from Sturgeon Lake! I’m here this week looking for spring pike! 🤙🤙 gonna be canoeing around Cameron and the Burnt I think!
@@davidmullen2227 I used to cottage on Shadow Lake by Norland back in the day. Caught lots of bass and one really huge walleye and muskie there! Walleye was 6.5 lbs at the mouth of the Gull River.
You're my favorite youtuber, thanks for all yo do!
12:00 Perrrfect cast -- right under that tree -- sure enough, he was there!
Froggy and foggy morning. The perfect 20 minutes video to start my Sunday morning before 9am church service. What a beautiful place you found there! Those are some hungry swimmers in there and MAN that looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for bringing us along Matt...great video!
Love all your videos NDYakAngler, but this video is special. This brought me back in time fishing through the fog on a quiet lakes.
Great way to daydream of warmer days soon. I always love a good frog 🐸 bite. Maybe they were on the skinny side but plenty willing. As always thanks for taking us along Matt. Blessings brother
Gorgeous environment with all those water lilies. A marvellous fishing morning in that cloudy day.
Nothing like topwater frog blowups. Nice job!
them topwater strikes never get old. Always a cool sight to see.
Howdy everyone!
Howdy buddy
as soon as i saw that view i was loving it and then got tight with a bass.... living the good life brotha!
It is a really pretty lake and there’s several others in that area I’d like to explore this summer! A couple of them are quite a bit deeper and it seems like those lakes with a little more depth are better at keeping big bass alive through our harsh winters.
Oh Boy! That Channel with the Lilly pads would have me acting up! Okay I’m jealous! That lake would keep me entertained all day! I LOVE frog fishin!
I'm jealous. You've caught more fish in 1st 10 minutes than I can catch in 3 or 4 hours here in MD. Cool vid
Love your videos bro ❤inspires me to make more videos and I take notes as well on how good you are at fishing! 🎣
I’m in AWE on the precision of your casting. Love this channel 😊😊
. Good stuff. Thanks NDYA
Bob Ross of fishing. Perfect!
That lake is amazing more like a swamp type lake love those places excellent video 🎉🎉
The accuracy of your casts are a work of art 🙌 I would have gotten stuck so many times out there
A very well spoken young dude with skill. God love ya brother.
I always look forward to your videos! Thank you!
Matt, that was just what I needed, a dose of frogin bass on a fresh lake, awesome! Thanks for takings us along, take care and be safe!
Thank you for sharing another great video...highly enjoy the frog fishing..thanks
Love the frog fishing content , keep it coming !!!
Awesome country up there, just beautiful!
What a good day. Not too many big ones, but plenty of action. You cant really complain about spending a few hours doing that. Thank you for sharing.
Almost spring time! Have had some glimpses of warm weather....looking forward to it being back for good.
Great video and great fishing and relaxing listening and watching!! Have a good day and weekend
Another great video - thanks a bunch!
What a beatiful place for fishing
Sweet video
As always thanks for a great video
You’re amazing man, every time I get stressed out I always come and watch a video
That little frog is hilarious idk why 😅
Dude, all these videos you have socked away…. brilliant! Greetings from Germany 👍🍻
Love your videos. Calm and relaxing .., your the Bob Ross of fishing 😊
Love days like that ! Great video !
Looks like they need to do a bait fish airdrop on that lake. Definitely some skinny fish that need food. 😂
Another great video - beautiful location.
Another awesome video well done some really nice fish
Im loving how green everything is out their!! Im in western ny and its been nice out but today its snowing again. Cant wait to put the kayaks in for some largemouths, im still chasing big pike from shore😊
Gosh I cannot wait to get out froggin this year!
Got yourself a new Danger Ranger!! Niice Bud!! Absolutely love the content!!
I love you walk up and say it looks fishy here. I was already thinking that. Id be fishing the channel immediately. Looks great b thanks for sharing this with us.
I gave it several casts off the launch before I started filming. That’s usually the first thing I do after spending a few hours in my truck.
Those conditions could not be more perfect
Thanks for the post!
These are the places I wanna go for fishing seems so relaxing
Can’t wait until the frog bite. My favorite fishing.
Man I have been waiting for a new episode ❤️ love the content guy!!
Frogs aren't always the most productive means of catching bass, but it's certainly among the most fun. I prefer drop shotting a live-bait rig. That's my personal fav. But pitching frogs near or over weeds and pads is always a hoot. I've only caught a handful of 20"+ bass (maybe 6 largies and 2 smallies that size), and at least three of those were on frogs. Great vid, glad you saw so many fish.
I know exactly where you are! That's one of my little secret spots to go frogging.
Awesome, I can't wait till season hits in Ontario Canada
Did you ever get to the bottom of why these fish are so skinny at this lake?
not enough food, probably most of the baitfish and perch got eaten and never replaced
I’m pretty sure the catch and release only special regulation on this lake plays a big part in it. It keeps the population high and the fish small. They should make slot limits instead, protect those fish that get over 16-17” and let people keep the smaller ones.
Frog fishing for bass is the best!
Awesome Fishing Spot!!! Fish On!
I really like that area, lots of pine forest and lily pad lakes. There’s a few other similar lakes in the area I plan to explore this summer!
I think thats the most fishiest fishing spot you have come across. Maybe in the summer the fish might fatten up by then.great video.
I think theres just too many fish and not enough food in that lake. I caught about twice as many fish as I put in the video but left out a lot of 14”ers for the 15”ers lol.
@@ndyakanglergotta take a few of em out.. loosen up the competition. That’s what I’d do at least.
@@MichaelScottDunderMifflin my thoughts exactly, people need to harvest these skinny fish. If it's remote tho I could see why it has this issue.
Hands down my favorite fishing videos on KZhead
Great video Matt and great catches! Although the bass very quite small they were aggressive and worth catching.Have a great weekend and take care dude! See you next adventure!
they got that bass gym membership haha. Seriously tho best most relaxing to watch you always a charm.
Man, those bad are sick looking, that state needs to put some minnows in that lake
They’re all stunted because of all of those weeds
I miss summer
Man I love this guys videos
Great video! Those hidden lakes on nice calm days are fun to fish in. I think you found out why no one else was fishing there. 😂 .. Still looked like a lot of fun.
The Village Voice raves “It’s as if Fred Rogers took you fishing”.
Great video, Mat! 👏🏾🎣
Been watching your videos since a little boy still love the vids
I’ve been watching since I was 11 in 15 now
I always try to hit the inside and outside edges of pads they seem to hang on those edges or follow that frog to the edge. If they are really biting you can throw in the middle and they'll come up and blast them to! Super fun.
Excellent video my friend sure miss fishing for bass on the northern lakes!!
I'd feel compelled to throw a Buzz Bait in that canal. I love 'Froggin', but a Buzz Bait is my jam.
I think it is really cool to coax them up through the Lilley Pads.
Yes! Another frogging video!
Veey nice
Congrats on the baby!
Love the video ❤
I have never had much luck early morning frog fishing. Usually once the sun comes up a little, frog bite picks up.
Where do you find these lakes with no houses on them? Here in Michigan you could dig a hole, fill it with water and someone will build a house right next to it!
I had to drive a few hours but they’re out there, usually state park or forest land or just 20 miles or so off the paved roads. There’s many I’d like to try but they don’t have any access.
Good morning! Wish I was there instead of heading to work! Frog fishing...😅
Great video. Great content.
Gosh that looks awesome
That sure looked like a great bass lake definitely needs a few hundred thousand 2 to 4 inch blue gill to feed those hungry bass stay safe out there
I havent taken the yak out yet this year. Its time now though. You got me motivated.
