I really enjoy your videos, no music, no dramatics, just fishing. I am looking at getting a kayak and was trying to find a good channel to follow to get tips, I’m glad I found yours! Keep up the great work!
That opening shot of the sunrise was BEAUTIFUL!
Like paddling into a painting.
And the reflection of clouds and the sky on the water - absolutely beautiful. What a morning to be fishing - thx @ndyakangler!
Indeed brother
It's amazing how common those mornings are in the northern plains and yet they're stunning every single time.
Matt never has a video I don't like..like button hit before ever watching every time.
Fax
Same
Ditto
yup!
Same!
My son and I never miss an episode. Best fishing channel on KZhead IMO. Great editing, no musical montage every time there is a hit and best of all no over the top screaming. Keep up the great work.
It's money thing to scream about a 10lber or teener but screaming over half oiynders while yelling "let's go" isn't my thing either. I fish for fun and relaxation. I wanna watch a man fish for fun and relaxing. My favorite channel. Was tactical bassin but they mostly do ads these days. I loved watching them fish.
Best part of a Saturday morning is waking up to a new NDYakAngler video.👍🏼
No idea how I missed this video 5 months ago. Thanks Matt for the great time.
NEVER get tired of your videos, mate; calm, serene, just plain beautiful... it's like therapy...! Awesome being able to join you while you enjoy doing what you love. Thanks for bringing us along...! Thumb looks like it's healing up nicely too; did you ever forgive your truck door for biting you that day...? 😎
the bob ross of fishing
You know you've watched a lot of NDY videos when you begin recognizing each body of water, and the specific places/points being fished. It may not have been your most productive day, but God certainly provided you a beautiful fall day. Thanks for the fishing trip. God bless.
It’s hard to not go back to this spot this time of year! Especially after getting skunked chasing pike a couple other spots the last couple days. With the limited days left before ice up I might be back on this lake one or two more times!
There is only one word for the morning, the calm, the sunrise, the reflections on the water and ..... WONDERFUL
Water's so calm the sky reflections make it seem like you're not even moving when paddling. 😂. So cool.
I wanna thank you for giving me my peace I needed this morning. Life is hard. But in the winter months when I can't go out and be the nature freak I am. Your videos give me the peace and tranquility I need to get through my days. ❤ thank you Matt.
Awesome morning of fishing. Didn't seem to be anyone else around either. Except for those hunters of course.
Matt is more consistent than most “pro” fisherman and yet his kayak doesn’t have the fish finders that they use. 👍🏻
The reflection of the clouds in that still water . Is just amazing!!
Amazing to see such heavy machinery handled so effortlessly.
Thank you, Matt, for another beautiful morning on a peaceful, serene lake, watching you leisurely catch smallies and pike, just absolutely AWESOME!
We don’t usually see you so early in the morning. Nice sunrise, beautiful lake in the Fall.
Such a great positive,calm attitude.
You are blessed to be able to fish ware you do. Great morning
I cannot stop gawking at how beautiful the setting is for this video. It’s like you are floating in a beautiful painting, like you are part of the most exquisite photo of a sunrise. I know the duck hunters appreciate you being careful too. They were sitting in their windless blind looking at their lifeless decoy spread hoping that NDYak dude would drop an excellent video to pass the time.
Yeah...half an hour of pure nature. 🙂
one of the many things I like about his videos is that you can have a successful day's fishing with only one rod/reel setup. Enjoy how he decides what to use and then goes at it. Does not clutter the kayak with half dozen rods and a couple of tackle boxes
My power is out, but I'll use my data minutes to start my day out with some NDYAk!
Worth it 😂
This has to be one of the most therapeutic videos I've ever watched! I so appreciate this! Who doesn't love that sky!
I wish I lived closer to spots like this. Land of 10,000 options!
Seriously. I live in a land of 10000 strip malls.
@@smelltheglove2038🤣👍
I live in MD. which pretty much sucks & diffidently sucks compared to the spots Matt has at his command ,& i spent two weeks in Minnesota just fishing with friends that live there & it was just like what you see in Matts vids . Lakes & Rivers & Creeks all holding fish . I had withdrawals coming back to the crummy fishery here & someday i will go back as it is as cool as all Matts vids.& quality fish pretty much everywhere you put you boat or Kayak in. Even off the bank you will have fun.
These videos are incredibly relaxing. I laughed at the start of this one with the sound of him paddling but it didn’t look like he was moving at all.😂
I love going fishing with you. Thanks for taking us!!
Watching your videos is like the best therapy other than getting to go fishing for real!!
I have a favorite lake I hit every fall as well. It’s at 9000 feet elevation and the tiger trout, cutthroats and rainbows gorge themselves in some of the most beautiful mountain scenery anywhere. It’s tradition to go every fall. Thanks for the vids man.
crazy...seems like the light never changed that whole video.... the land of the forever sunrise!
Yeah late fall the days are short and the sun never gets very high in the sky here.
The reflection of the sunrise on the water. Amazing! Another awesome video!
Look at that sunrise.
For sheer artistic beauty, this has to be one of your best-ever videos.
After 20 minutes, he already has 1000 views? Matt, you are truly the best fishing yt channel
Gorgeous!!!!! Good job Matt! The amount of hours your pour into this really shows. Glad you were able to get them. Nice and peaceful out there.
Astonishing morning shots (not a morning person here so adds that more value), but I really like how after pikes, you "don't wanna lose the first one of the day". Makes rest of us catching few from time to time really bad. 😂
Look how glassy that water was with the sun rising over it! Looks stunning!
The smallmouth you caught at the 23 minute mark ..was a FOOTBALL💯💯 chunky fish!
Beautiful sunrise, water as smooth as glass, fishing alone on a quiet morning and catching a few fish. Can't beat it ! Great video !
On the days I can't go fishing, there's always NDYAKANGLER!
Man what a great morning to be out on the water. Beautiful sunrise and you sorted through the pike to hook some smallies. Thanks for taking us along Matt. Made the yard work easier
There's nothing wrong with pike...except when they're stealing my Jackhammers! 😅
Was there the 22nd, my best 5 went 95”. Hands down my favorite smallie lake around here!
That’s an awesome day!
That is a great day. Hey i know this guy Matt who bagged 6 smallies over 20” one time. Hold my beer while i send you the video…
That opening water reflection was so perfect I thought it was weeds..
Thanks for taking me fishing!
Stunning. The effort to be there at dawn rewarded - fish or no fish. Thanks so much for this video.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BassMang! ! ! ! ! 👋🥸 (or should i say PikeMang! ! ! ! ... lmfao🤣) 10:38 this might be my meds talkin but.. that water is soooo still that i was gettin vertigo from watchin the clouds in the reflection 😵💫😵💫😵💫... LMFAOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 12:16 an here you had ALL of us fooled thinkin you knew what you was doing.. lmfaooo 🤪🤪🤪 13:10 i think we'd all take a "lil ass" too ... lol 😆 great stuff dude 🤓👍 see ya on the next an stay safe 👋🤠
Great video, I love those smallies too, you live in a great part of the country for Bass! I love kayak fishing too!
Beautiful sunrise as fisherman we experience some beautiful rises to start the day.. and sunsets.. nice fish 🎣
Thanks for the trip . Love the sunrise 🌄 start . God is good
Im sitting here talking to the screen, "Look at the sunrise." Thank you for the look.
God Bless Matt, I’m new to fishing and these help me kinda get the flow of what to do out there in the water! Wish you luck and safe journey on future trips.
Best way to spend a saturday
The Bob Ross of bass fishing!
Your videos are always excellent. I noticed you use mainly one camera mounted on your hat. I like the view angle it gives. Maybe you wouldn't mind showing how you have it mounted in one of your videos. Keep'em coming!
Here’s a video on the hat cam: Homemade Hat Cam Rig kzhead.info/sun/ppioZNmBf4aQl4E/bejne.html
I found your channel during Covid and look forward to each new video. Your voice is so calming it’s my go to before going to bed. Thanks for teaching me more about fishing 🎣
Thank you I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
this channel is the next best thing to actually being out there -- great episode!
That's a lovely place to fish, the surrounding, the water is peacefully 😊
Nice fishing game! In Romania we don't have bass, so I will come to a fishing game with you! Greetings from Romania!
Your fishing skills are truly impressive!
optically the most beautiful vid I've watched from you. thanks for sharing!!!
Exceptional video quality and beautiful scenery!! Very well done
Kind of tired of the bass fishing episodes. Nice to see some pike again.
those fish ate that jig real good!! love the vids man 👍
“Fishing” and “catching” are two distinctly different things. The setting and scenery make up for the lack of strikes.
I have this same plastic, I have tried it on a jig head with no success but I'm gonna give it another shot next spring
Dude what a opening on the video spectacular sunrise 🌅 🙌💛🙏🏼
Just love this mornings with calm water and nice temp....looking great
Always a pleasure to go along,thank you sir!
The water is so calm it looks like he is not moving when paddling.
Absolutely!!! The perfect time of the year to fish.
Gonna be ice fishing in a month or so. I can't believe how fast summer has gone
Thanks for taking us along this morning Matt, always love watching your videos, great way to start my morning.
Thanks for another fishing trip that 20+ small mouth was very respectful
I hear geese all around you. It's October and waterfowl is on! You should be packing a ten gauge so you can drop some geese. 😁Man, that would be cool on video. My duck blind is located in a giant lilly pad field on the mighty mississippi; during the early season, I catch bass from it while duck hunting.😜
been watching you since 2022 love every video u do but idk how u dont raise your voice an keep a calm voice the whole time
I'm new to your videos. But I love to see the difference in areas you fish versus what I have in central Florida.
Try some twist weld leader wire on your jig heads to stop pike bite offs? It worked great for me.
I might have to try that! Both times I’ve been out there I’ve lost a handful of jigs but there are a few spots where I know it’s pikey and it’s a risk vs reward venture because I’ve caught some big smallies at those spots too. I kind of want to go out there and target pike before ice up though, maybe run a spinnerbait over some of the weed beds left. There’s always a chance at a muskie there too!
Another epic video! I use those plastics on the small redfin we get in south west australia, they may be a tad small for the bigger fish in that area
Saturday morning, a fresh cup of espresso and NDYakAngler is always the best way to start my day. Never stop keeping these videos coming. Question though. Do you ever opt to keep a couple Smallies now and then to eat? I love my large mouth bass as they make great fish tacos and ceviche. I know a lot of fisherman prefer to put them back to keep the population strong. Nothing wrong with that.
Matt does on occasion keep a few to eat especially when he's ice fishing for Crappies . 90% of the time he does practice any good fishermans code to catch film & release these precious resources. Helps to live in the best fishery in the country as he proves every time he goes out.
@@paullevine1813 crappies are damn good eating. Pan fish in general are. Jack Perch also are among my favorites. Unfortunately I like in SoCal now so perch are not available in any of the places I fish. When I go back home to Upstate New York in the fall I get those.
Enjoy all your videos buddy Thanks
Finally pikes😊 make a trip for musky and pike only please 😊
Amazing scenery
well played good sir
love this video
Beautiful morning
Z-man are very good at making durable plastic lures.
Que bonito amanecer, saludos
I catch bass on the worms only 😮
Beautiful video. Thanks.
Howdy, lovely scenes, great vid.
Great video! Beautiful scenery too!
Man the mirrored image on that lake would have made a great picture.
The Slam Shady is my go to paddle tail 🤙👍
Love it❤
Yeah it's like fishing with mister Rogers from the neighborhood
As always, well done. Thanks
Love all your videos try to watch them all
What a beautiful morning!
