What about the rest of us? I miss those things....but still it is an Awesome video!!!!
@@peacenow2023 You want 'vulgarity' and 'ridiculous music'? This from a guy called "Peace Now"... 🤣🤣🤣
A slower retrieve would work better I think
this advdertiment bought buy bio rat!
When it comes to family friendly educated videos NDYak is the man. ❤kids can watch this with their family. I love that
I've got some pretty gnarly anxiety sometimes and man, let me tell you how glad I am to have stumbled onto your channel. Something about the calm and cheerful way you speak, along with being informative, and having good equipment to pick up all the sounds of nature all combined are a perfect remedy for a busy brain. Thanks a lot!
Ditto.
This channel is THE place for the PTSD brain. Thanks for what you do... And doing it well.
Bravo!
That Turtle was funny lol “Lemme get it Lemme get it”
The Rats 🐀 paint design is like those old WW2 planes, love it 👍
i like how this guy catches monsters and is still talking in a casual tone, if i was in his boots i would be freakin out
You are one of the few guys that actually "means it" when you say "catch you later" and release these monster fish! And I sure love watching it when you do. Thanks for making fishing fun for me again. Love your channel.
I should compare screenshots of all the muskie I’ve caught out there, I’m sure I could match a few up that I’ve caught twice! There are a lot of musky roaming this stretch of river though, I bet there’s 100 of them within a mile or two of the dam.
@@ndyakangler do you debarb your hooks? I can't quite tell. Sorry if asked before! Thanks!
4:15 That was a turtle of some kind. Looked so lovely.
What a gentleman to unhook himself, and put you on board
Both Mr. Marling and Mr. Yak posting together on another fish Sunday. Thank you for the peaceful content. 👍👍
I love these two guys as well. Both awesome!! I was thinking the same thing !!!
In current as well ! So cool to see a large predator fish 🐟in action .It would have to be the worst way to die , being bitten , then swallowed alive into an acid bath , face first !!
What is the name of that Mr. Marling channel?
@@thephoolshow747 Marling Baits. He makes his own lures from wood and tries to catch fish with them. I have heard both of these channels are described as the bob ross of fishing.
@@dawsonreum8096 Thanks, I will check him out
As we await the arrival of another soft water season, I just want to throw a nugget of consideration at you... When those fish come in and you sweep the lure or figure-8, if the fish misses, try remembering to keep the lure in the water. Keep sweeping and/or circling. Let the lure dive underwater in the process. No, it might not make a difference every time, nothing is that consistent, but I've seen muskie "give up" after a lure leaves the water. But if the lure left in the water and continuously worked, I've also seen them return within 30 seconds or so for attempt #2, which often leads to the hookup you were hoping for in the first place. Followers don't seem to care, but strikers... they're not doing it to be playful. When you've got a hot fish, give them a hot opportunity for redemption. Excellent channel and content! Can't wait for the next upload!
I like when he's releasing one he says, "Catch ya later."
Straight up fishing, Nerve`s of steel, well done.
Oh my gosh i had a snapping turtle in between my legs while i was in my belly boat 2 weeks ago! I thought he was gunna take a bite out of me or my flipper! he was around the same size!
I'm not sure if I would be worried 😫 about the flipper so much!! 😆 Lol 😂
@@leebarnes393 I was worried he’d bite through them and get my toes or bite my whole ankle! 😱😂
@@leebarnes393 I’m sure everyone on the lake heard me yell out “WOAH” 😂
clicked faster then you could say “that’s a nice one”
That's a nice one
Don’t care
"that's a MICE one" ***
@Crescent Chamber Artists I always love these comments of people correcting others without knowing if English is their first language, while most likely the one correcting only speaks one language.
I just want all of you to know that Jesus loves you so much that He died for your sins on the cross so that you may be forgiven
Hahaha. Loved the snapping turtle , zipping after the rat.
That snapping turtle was hilarious
You, sir, are the Bob Ross of kayak fishing videos.
That lure looks awesome. Loved the turtle action as well. Amazing to see a big turtle speed up when chasing a prey. Great content as always. Thanks for sharing.
Those turtles are faster than I thought!
That was really cool! My buddy had a snapper grab a bass he was reeling in. We stood there in awe watching Bowser rip apart that fish and devour it. Nature is awesome!
I have a mouse lure that's not even half the size of that rat, and I wondered how well it'd do. Safe to say, I'm gonna try it out this spring lol
Can I get a shirt with a bob Ross of fishing theme? You're videos are art, and chill as can be. Always enjoyable!
Getting real nice bob ross of freshwater fishing vibes from this guy
We do not have Muskies here in Finland,I always thought our pike were scary enough.To see you in a kayak catching them is scary and amazing.Thanks for your videos.
Same I dream to fish in usa since in finland you don't really have big fish other than Big pike or salmon
@@Hyyless if you make your way over, stay in the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan area for fishing. Yes, there are plenty of places to catch fish but the great lakes states have the largest variety and cleanest water. BWCA is on area in MN to dream about.
The best musky fishing (in my opinion) is on Lake Of The Woods in Canada, there are great guiding services and it is a beautiful lake full of all kinds of fish, including large musky!
@@maniac117 Agree, and its filled with Americans coming to fish for big ones.
@@webdesign6776 here is one Minnesotan that does not fish Lake of The Woods. There are several big ones including Mille Lacs and Upper & Lower Red Lake that have been fished out. Lake Winnie is another as well as Leech.
The Bob Ross of fishing. Keep posting the great vids!
Mr Roger’s goes fishing. Love this channel.
Glad to see an angler catching fish and returning them without all this ‘catch & cook’ nonsense. I’m a new subscriber.
oh yes the new rat!…since we’ve talked about the top water not doing anything by me (Wisconsin) I’ve landed 3 20+ smallies and 2 28+ northern 🔥🔥🔥
Dude the footage of that strike at 14:30 is so cool. Your fishing and kayak skills are fun to watch, and the commentary is easy to listen to. been in a kayak before and not once did I think "yeah I could land a musky in this"... lol.
He is a skilled angler
Practice..... Not all that long ago men harvested whales from small manually powered boats. nice work NDY
this dude sounds like he’s narrating a golf tournament. it’s perfect.
A soothing voice with the skills to back it up. You're like the Bob Ross of fishing.
every once in a while I'm reminded just how powerful those muskie are in the water. Around 14:20 the cavitation in the water and how quick he disappears.
I always remember matt's words from the 1st Chewbacca video and some other videos. 'It's the presentation and action that gets them'. These words have guided me to catch more fish and reduced lure changes during a trip. I caught my pb peacock bass by throwing a black topwater pencil during mid-day cause I followed the motto. no need to overthink the colour. Also, it was a heddon zara puppy, i was inspired to buy it seeing matt throw the super spook jr. easiest walking bait i ever had. Thanks soo much and your content is by far the best 'pure' fishing on youtube.
Bob Ross of fishing. Absolutely love it. I don't even fish much. Subscribed.
Bob Ross of fishing videos are relaxing to watch haha 👍👍
That's what I love about catching musky. They are violent, intelligent, and just pure adrenaline. Excellent catch!
I've never seen such accurate casting. You can aim that pole like a rifle.
That's an Olympic 100m freestyle swimming rat. He was hauling butt. That Muskie said "thank you, no, I'm not ready to come into your boat just yet". lol Powerful fish.
New favourite fishing channel. This is nothing short from amazing.
I love your videos just because your like the only calm person when they talk
I love watching this guy, he is just so composed and calm.
Good sportsman and angler great respect for wildlife and nature, no showboating,I respect that ,one with God's gift of nature, thanks
This guys voice alone is enough asmr for a lifetime
That placement and timing of the lure! I almost thought the rat was alive deciding whether to swim across the river or not. Love the content keep it up
That was one quality muskie for sure. Love how they just fallow the lure in and swipe at it last min most of the time. Glad that snapper didn't commit, that would of been a fun hook extraction.
The turtle chasing the rat 🤣 😂
The Bob Ross of fishing. Just pure enjoyment
Beautiful fish, and you handled her perfectly! Well done Matt!! 👍
That turtle was determined to get that rat 😂
Nice. Brings me back to my childhood days in Oscoda Mich. Getting those little pike in the sloughs on Mepps spinners! :)
Cool Lure!!
Yesssir!!! What a beautiful monster!!! Fantastic brother!!
Finally another one
You could see the wake from that first musky follow before the swipe! Awesome video
He saw the fish too, those great polarized glasses
I have not been fishing forever...and I'm truly enjoying these videos..TY
I'd love to be a gnat on this mans shoulder. Turning into my favorite channel with the calmness and serenity you deliver
What a great video!!! Those brutal unexpected bites made me jump out of my seat. What a rush of adrenaline! My hands would be shaking in such a situation. It was also an excellent bonus to watch that snapping turtle. It was huge! An exotic sight to me as a European that I didn’t expect them so far North as North Dakota. Their adjective “snapping” I guess comes from their capability to snap at your fingers and cut them off. Wow… This wonderful video felt too short to me. I am looking forward to watching the next one!
First time on this channel - what a great video and different from so much of what's on KZhead.
Turtle 🐢 was just trying to catch up with his Sensei, Master Splinter 🐀
Seeing this first when I open KZhead on my phone. Good job KZhead, you know my priorities. Already going to say thanks for the sick fish and adventure 2 seconds in. 8:08, if I was new I would have thought you said something else lol.
Found ur channel a couple days ago- favorite fishing channel now
Matt, your videos are so good that the time goes by too fast. Plus I gotta say, this has been a very hectic day but after watching this the day got a lot better. Looking forward to your next video post. God Bless you and yours.
What could be better on Sunday mornin', than to go fishin' with my buddy Matt!
Oh my that snapping turtle chasing was so friggin cool! LOL awesome!
I want to catch a muskie once. They look absolutely beautiful.
Its tough tho tell you really figure out what they like ive only got 3 in the first 5 years of fishing then niw after doing it for 10 years ive got like 40 or so under my belt 😂
@@zachmcdaniel3811 damn haha. Yea I bet it's hard to find them. Especially where I live idk if there is any close by.
@@zed9955 Alright Thanks! Will look into that!
@@zed9955 what did you use to catch them in st clair? i live close by that lake and want to try to catch a musky someday but I don't know where to start on a lake that big and what to use
Perfect timing!
Well done sir. We'll keep watching.
As soon as I heard this, 9:50 I knew he was gonna get a hit. Sounded like the rat just fell in the water. Great video!
Always awesome seeing you land a monster like that.
I Love Your videos, You inspired to start fishing from a Canoe, I've had so many great adventures! Thank you, You are awesome Mr. NDYakAngler!🎣🎣
Dude the snapping turtle was flying after that!
Watching that first Musky hit the rat made my heart race... then to break free was heart crushing. And YOWZA that was a very nice Musky. Love your vids, so thanks a million for posting them.
You definitely know what you're doing. Amazingly accurate casts. Now that I know I'll watch some more of what you do. Keep up the good work. By the way I've never caught a Pike or a Muskie, but I once caught a very angry Chain Pickerel at Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. That fish did not like the hook, the net, the dock, or me. But I got it back in the water without complication. It was a fun catch.
This is the ONLY channel I hit the thumbs up before I even watch it because his videos constantly rock!
I dont comment a lot but i will today.. Your an amazing fisherman. My last name is after the Minnesota state Fish... We Live fishing. My 2 Grandsons are now watching you on the tube. They Love the Bassin.. I love the 4 foot Monsters.. Keep the Vids coming and Great job !!
Awesome footage and landings, that Muskie was a biggin!
I love how chill he is
Definitely The BOB ROSS of Fishing 🎣 🎨
When there is all caps on one of your titles, we ALL know it’s a good one
Pure adrenaline with a calming voice , unlike any other fishing channel ✌🏻
Freaking great vid, it's always a great watch when fishing with cool lures! 😃
Dude these musky river vids r my fave from you! MORE!
Heart-pumping video action...good work. Love watching you fish!
From Canada, keep up the great work. So enjoyable to watch and excellent info. Thank you!
would love to see you use the old time lures like you did with your grandpa"s
That was a great vid too!!
The slow motion review was cool!
That snapper was cool!
I didn't realise they had sharks in Minnesota. What a monster!
ND this time, not MN
Living vicariously through you sir!!!
Another great video from the Bob Ross of angling. Huge thumbs up from Holland. 👍
If Bob Ross had a fishing channel lol. Good video 👍
It will Never cease to amaze me how he can catch fish on literally anything
Us great fisherman can do stuff others can't
The Beltway Bandits Mat 😜
nice job. takes some patience
So relaxing watching your videos. Your very soft spoken and knowledgeable. 😎👍
That was a good sized snapper. That would have been quite the episode if you accidentally hooked it! And I sure felt my pulse go up when I saw that wake at 7:33!
I keep telling my Dad Minnesota is the place to go 👍🎣👍
Thanks! I absolutely loved it. Those musky are amazing!
Intense!!!!! Lol geez. Beautiful day as well. Thank you
I've been waiting patiently, and you came through and definitely did not disappoint!!!!... I knew that lure was gonna be killer... another awesome video!!!... I've got another request, try and get your hands on a magnum, or super magnum spook... I've picked a couple up on ebay over the last several years, and I know you love to throw the smaller ones... bet they'd be river monster worthy as well!!!
Your videos really belong in the thriller genre. Good stuff as usual.
"North Wolf ". Awesome
I had a good laugh at you getting chased by that snapper. Them turtles scared the crap out of me and you're playing with it like a puppy!
Nice footage, enjoyed every minute of the show . I fish from 3 man Aluminum would suit your place ideally as you can comfortably do a couple of figure 8’s every cast
