Can a PIKACHU Lure Catch 'Em All? 

I'm more impressed by your casting skills the accuracy is something to be applauded.

This guy is giving me "Bob Ross of fishing" vibes and I'm here for it.

Well pikachu is an electric type, they tend to be efficient against water types.

You're an absolute sniper with your casting. Pinpoint accuracy while drifting. Very impressive!

Just waiting for the day when he starts saying "Happy little bass" and grows a modest afro.

The sound of the reel when he casts is really cool.

Matt has turned into one of my favorite fishermen to watch. He even has respect when releasing fish. Never tosses them back.

Of course Matt can make it happen!!

I've had other BPM baits ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

Chewbacca, Pikachu, a duck, a rat, a snake, at this point I'm pretty convinced that you could catch one of those river smallies on an empty toilet paper tube! LOL

Best part is when that lure came flying back at you at 4:16 I actually ducked out of the way, lol. This was a great way for me to spend a few minutes of my lunch hour. Thank you for keeping me sane!

at 4:10 when you pulled ripped pikachu back at you should have added the pikachuuuuuu sound haha.

Love that you just hop right into fishing with no 20 minute vlog leading up to it. Keep doing your thing my boy

Hands down the best fishing channel on RU-vid. No unnecessary commentary. Beautiful locations. And unbelievable casting.

I like how you are including footage of you not just catching fish but also footage of you casting in high percentage areas and not always catching a fish. awesome vid

Lol finally someone made a video on the pikachu lure LOL.

Congratulations! A wild level 20 Smallie was caught! Would you like to give it a nickname?

Considering all that adrenaline rush when a fish snaps the bait and manages to spit it, i really admire your calm "gosh, that was a good fish" reaction.

"Hot and dry conditions" equals a GOOD growth year for smallies according to Tim Holschlag's book. MAximum size increase for mature fish, a better head start for the yearlings and lower winter die off for all. A couple more summers like this and we'll be set for 10 years of peak smallie fishing!

Even though I haven't been going fishing for nearly 10 yrs I love watching your videos. Super relaxing atmosphere you got there and some neat looking fish!

This is the best lure I’ve ever seen! Also, these casts are on point! Subscribed!!!

Outstanding video Matt. I love how you challenged yourself here! I really enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing!

Your casting skills are on POINT! The skill is just, WOW! The markings on that 3rd smallie… it was a beautiful fish indeed. Thanks for the video. Cheers 🍻

Beautiful tranquil locations and scenery Matt, that's enough for me. If you catch then that's a Bonus.

You have to say "pikachu I choose you" every time you cast ;D

Watching a fishing video with that relaxing voice? I have no need for fishing any longer. I can watch this all day.

I love this guy! So calm and relaxed

My kids love this video!!!! Also the one with Chewbacca. The Chewbacca noises are spot on

Getting my son into fishing, and he is loving this lure. Now to get him out more and have more fun. Great to see someone from our area fishing and having great luck.

Yes! I've been eying one of these for a while.... happy you made the video!

Glad i found this channel. You are the Bob Ross of river fishing sir. Thanks for nice, relaxing water adventures.

damn near fell out my chair trying to dodge that lure at 4:15

You're like the Bob Ross of fishing. Lol. You have such a mellow, easy going way about you . Glad I somehow ended up watching your channel 👍✌

So relaxing to watch your vids, but also tears my nerves up! Lol!! It’s absolutely beautiful out there.. thank you for sharing!

I love how you make sure there are just casts in your video as well bites and catches of course but it just adds that little bit of realism to the video and makes it 10 times better

I love this guy it so relaxing to watch

That last smallie was gorgeous. Man, I miss Minnesota Summers 😔

Your videos are all so fabulous! Thanks so much for this! Cheers!

That sequence around the dead fall was pretty cool. Nice casting, nice boat movement, and nice work landing the fish. Nice smallie.

Congrats on 200k!

right into the action, so nice that he doesnt mess around with his fishing

I really like your content, it's super relaxing to watch. Thank you.

Probably the craziest lure I’ve seen you use. Well besides the lego Chewbacca. Lol some how I believe the pike are going to love it. Great video Matt.

Your casting accuracy is truly impressive!

Pikachu sure is good at reaction strikes. Such a cute little lure!

Love this channel! I used to fish every single day when I lived in a rural area. Your videos make me want to move out of the city I’ve been in the last 10 years so I can enjoy the thrill again.

That first one was a beast but the last one had the most beautiful markings on it! Dreaming of the day I get to catch some quality smallies like that. Another great video! Keep 'em coming!!

Everytime he casts it sounded like Pikachu just saying "chuuu"

You are deadly with that lure placement!

Matt, you truly are the Bob Ross of fishing :) Happy little bass…. Keep it up bud. Love the calm tone and the sounds of the paddle going through the water. Ha… fishing ASMR. Take care from Michigan.

Your definitely the best fisherman on utube to watch...keep up the great work

6:37 it’s super effective!

Wow! I also had a chance to fish with Pikachu and I did a video…Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹

Haven’t watched for a few weeks. So happy I’ve got a nice backlog for my quarantine! Almost as good as being on my local lake.

As soon as i realized that you had combined fishing with Pokeman, i added my subscription. This is my kind of channel!

Just found this channel! It’s like “Fishing with Bob Ross”! I’m digging it. If he could say that catching one of these fish was “A happy little accident” that would be spectacular! 🤣

Maybe an upgrade on the hooks? You don't usually have fish come unpinned like that! 👍👍

From Chewbacca to Pikachu doesn’t matter Matt just catches them! Well done man! My son absolutely loved this and got a kick out of it. Thanks for another great video!

My kids absolutely LOVED this video. Thank you.

The Fish started moving your Kayak from how big he was 😂

You have such a soothing voice

This channel is truly a gem for outdoorsmen on youtube

one of the only channels that does challenge videos and they r always awesome.

Never seen a live bass myself, being European, but seems to me those smallies fight way harder than the large mouths. Nice session!

Ppl give bass fishing advice but in reality they eat everything from cigarette butt's to 10 doller notes😂😂😂😂

These videos are like Asmr videos, he doesn’t scream or yell and it’s so satisfying hearing the lure in the water with no other noises

Bob Ross of fishing! Never stop uploading!

Okay liked and subbed just for how smooth that title was

I'm both a huge pokemon fan and love fishing but dang dude I would never spend that much money on that lure XD Glad to see it catch something though, I would not have thought a bright yellow electric rodent would look enticing to a fish lol If only you could have told him to use thunderbolt, would have had all the fish then :)

I swear you’re the Bob Ross of fishing, and that’s not an insult. You have very chill vibes, just like he does with painting. Lol.

I was amazed at both accuracy and the beauty of a first fish. Some puckering casts

Duo realis makes these if anyone is looking for them, they make a kyogre topwater, too.

I have said it a hundred times, a bass will eat almost anything!!

I love how you are so calm

I can’t believe it!! Smallies and Pokémon! Best vid ever!!!

I'm ordering this just for the memes lol. I don't even like Pokemon tbh. Just looks like fun😂

What river is that

Such a neat lure, a beautiful video as always!

I love all the different patterns on smallies they are all so cool

So much for "matching the hatch." I always hated that expression anyways. I knew you'd get it done. Love it!

always enjoy your content and you finally convinced me.......or watching you did........to give it a whirl down here in Ga thanks so much

Love the sound of the reel when casted

NDYak your the man! Love the channel and content keep up the great work! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

My favorite new discovery on RU-vid. Thanks for the top-notch content!

Wow !!!! PIKACHU !!!! Way to go. The rivers you fish are really pretty.
