Fishing A Duck Lure For MONSTER Pike! 

I never realised how dangerous it was to be a duckling on a nice summer's day.

I love this channel. Straight up fishing. No dude talking into his camera for 30 minutes and 5 min of fishing.

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

have not gone pike fishing here in Ireland in over 20 years ,will be going in the next few weeks just realised how much i miss it,,, thanks for making an old man feel young again 👍

Pike: "Why is this duckling so dam strong?!"

He caught more in five minutes than I have in the last 2 years

I love how peaceful this video is… With the only intensity coming in from nice catches.

Those are some nice Pike, back in the late '90s early 2000s. I used to have my own fishing lure company making spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, jigs and hair jigs. My friend and fellow lure maker was making hand carved bird lures for giant fish like the pike you were catching. He had them in Cabela's for a short time.

who clicks dislike on such a clip? He catches a lot of fish, treats the pikes very gently and release almost immediately. Pro Job!

i really am not kidding when i say i think you are the best fishing youtuber on the platform right now. theres no fake hype, no begging for likes, just fishing, beautiful fishing, it feels like i’m out there with you on the water matt. thank you. (edit) thanks for all the likes guys! glad you feel the same i do, i love this channel!

the intro with the pike was amazing the most satisfying thing that could happen in fishing

RU-vid fishing channels are better than any cable television today. Change My Mind.

When I was little kid I used to go fishing in the area around my house. I live in The Netherlands, so there is a lot of canals around to fish. I used to watch the ducklings got picked of one by one during the ducks nesting season by big pike and remember being really impressed (for obvious reasons as anyone can see in your video). This is the first time I see someone fishing with a duck lure though, just awesome. Beautiful fish and enjoyed your video very much. The way you handle your gear and the animals is great, with skill and respect that is. Always nice to see a pro at work.

No music and no overreacting - Love it! That's exactly what I'm trying to mimic on my channel!

bro this guy slayed. each one got bigger and he’s not an annoying a** commentator like most fishing you tubers. 10/10

In Manitoba some people FLY fish for Pike. (We generally call them Jackfish or Jacks) Once hooked they'll jump out of the water like a Marlin!

This dude can nearly miss the catch of a lifetime and keep sounding like bob ross at the spa

4:00 // He sounds like he was describing a super car when he was describing his fishing pole hahaha

Молодец , что щук обратно в воду выпускаешь . Видно , что добрый ты человек.

This is one of those we’re gonna need a bigger boat moments with the way the fish were hitting that duck lol

best fishing clip ive seen in a while that was sick

*you have discovered the location of a LEGENDARY fish*

I used to live in Houma, Louisiana. ...across from a small bayou and cane field. Laid my rod & Zebco 404 reel down on the bank to climb a sketchy treehouse we had built. Mr. Whiskers came along and took my gear down the bayou with him. Ha. On other outing I caught his brother and put in the bathtub before he died. 50 years later I can still hear her scream. :)

This dude has that one voice that makes you so relaxed 😌

You know you’re a fisherman when the sound of that backlash at 1:58 gives you slight anxiety

Just a man chilling, catching some some fish and living his best life. RU-vid honestly needs more content like this. Kudos to you man, you deserve every catch you get.

I gotta say it: this person's casting is gorgeous, every flick feels so clean and natural **chef's kiss**

I never understood ASMR. Now I think I do, this guys voice, background noise is what makes this the most relaxing channel

Sir, I never would have believed that topwater bright yellow-colored "duck" lure would catch anything. It looked more like a child's toy than a fishing lure. To see those three monster pikes go after that duck was a sight to behold! Thank you so much for this video. Your fishing trip was rewarded and so were we, the viewers. Thanks again!

My wife and I watch your videos often, she calls you the Bob Ross of fishing! We love it! 😄

I love coming back to this video even 2 years later, just awesome fish with great hook ups. Super fun to watch.

Probably the best intro of all time. I remember that exact thing happened but with a frog and man.. your heart gets pumpin quick

“That’s a good sign!” The Bob Ross of fishing is at it again!

There is few feelings in the world better than seeing something huge trailing your bait and just chomping it. Edit: my duck lure came in today, I cant wait to catch some pike

Catch a release at its finest. With a good-sized fish, you really only need one to feed an entire family. Thanks for bringing us along.

Such a pleasure to watch you fish!!! Those pike are amazing! You ever come to Indiana, I'll pay for your lodging to go fish the white river for smallies with you, food and paint one me, smallies on you 💪

Plot twist: There's only one pike in the river, who's a paid actor.

I have never heard a man remain so quiet and calm catching a monster pike at the boat. !I'd be hooting and sreaming like a school girl!

That intro made my year. I used to go pike fishing with my dad in winter and used to see this all the time, after my fishy not a duckling. lol I kind of miss it, my dad is dead as that duck now. That was just awesome to see

Pike have a ferocious bite when hitting a lure. Make a bass seem like a kitten.

“That was friggin’ crazy” 😳 You’re not kidding, that was crazy! Fantastic video yet again - 11 minutes of fishing nirvana 👍

This just shows to go how many likes you can get without promoting and begging for likes. Honestly your the most underrated RU-vid fisherman. Honestly you gotta be my favorite now

This videos are so relaxing and calm, thank you brother for this videos. I suffer from Anxiety at my 40s and videos like this help a lot.

This man's videos are great, feel like I'm out there fishing with him lol. Keep up the great videos and good luck

That fish is probably thinking “how is this duckling so strong”

This dude is so calm when he's catching a monster fish I love it that your so calm!

Love how he includes his shoes in description. Dude is dedicated love it. Very useful to put your gear in description thx dude

Imagine being that pike and you go to have a little ducky snack than all of a sudden your in for the biggest fight you ever been in 🤣 🤣

I like that you only have to wait 2 minutes for the pay off from the intro whereas other videos would make you wait until the final 30 seconds.

I cant even understand how this guy catches and records some of the most amazing topwater fishing strikes u will ever dream about!! The content on this channel, even dating back to 6+ years ago is the best on youtube, its in its own category. Nothing comes close!

I enjoyed carp fishing for over a 3 decades, but i have to say...nothing beats seeing a predator going for that lure. Makes me want to go out fishing right this moment.

Nothing better than hearing that knot up in the middle of a cast lol

You have to applaud the overall skill on display here. Not only is he a tremendously fluid and accurate caster with every lure type I've seen him use, but his hook-set reaction is snappy, his demeanor calm, and his fish-fighting skill on point, but he ALSO quite often has to adjust the kayak's direction mid-fight. This is not an easy thing to do. It requires coordination, focus and dexterity. Check it out at 7:35. Great cast, hook set, and fight. The size/power of the fish easily pulls him down stream toward hanging tree branches. He has to keep the fish pinned and maneuver the yak out of the tree path which usually means trapping one side of the paddle under the rod arm while changing direction with the other. This is not the only video where this happens, and occasionally you'll seem him back paddle because the momentum is working against him. A lot of talent on display here 👏🏻. My favorite yak angler on YT. Bravo.

This is the best fishing video I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. As a kayaker, as a muskie & pike fisherman, as a fish lover this video is the day I dream of while I’m out on the river.

Its really cool that you dont show only the casts where you catch and tangles here and there and fish that get away, the first one was awesome reminded me of an adult barracuda that breached a few feet then spat my hook out deep sea fishing in florida👌 lifetime memory

Wow! Exhilarating but a bit scary even when the pike snatches the lure SO close to your kayak!🥶🤣

Pike was like, "Damn, caught on the same bait three times,"

NDYakAngler: oh, there’s a Pike. Me: Exploding Prehistoric Alligator just raged on that duck carcass!!

Next level vid ! Great fishing and yak skills and easy listening tech tips. From Western Australia so pike aren't on the list but have for decades watched US outdoors/fishing shows and mags and have always loved the character of a pike. Hard to beat surface hits like that ! I bet that duck lure would work on our barramundi !😎👍

I have NO interest in fishing, never had. But loved this video and had to watch it in its entirety. And then show it to my kids who were equally enthralled. Now they want kayaks!

2:11 - legendary coming up from the deep from nowhere and follows duck intense. Epic!

Duck: this looks like a good area for the ducklings *sees fake duckling get massacred by a monster pike* Duck: yeah... never mind

I love when you watch the fish hit it like this

Wow, there is nothing like top water fishing, I recently got a top water bat and I'm super excited to use it this summer.

Me: Holy shit that’s a giant pike! NDYakAnger: *soft dad voice "Geez look at the size of that pike.."

Dude I'd lose my shit after the first one..incredible footage

Ive fished the duck and the rat for 4 years… so many followers but no takes.. and this man just keeps taking one after another

This guy must be so strong to resist a monster pike, in a boat with one hand 😮

When I go fishing and my rod starts to bend it usually just a weed

2:00 Backlashes AND STILL lands an amazing catch on an insane strike. Best fisherman on RU-vid.

I like that you're catch and release. I don't angle from a boat. It's pretty funny how those pike pull your kayak along with it. "We're gonna need a bigger boat." LOL

I once saw a 15ish pound pike take a duckling. The mother had 6 babies, & suddenly a huge splash occurred, & they all made a run to the edge, but after, I could only count 5 ducklings. I saw the fishes head & and knew it was a pike of (I'd guess) 15lbs. It was interesting. I have the same lure as you are using, but I have yet to catch ANY pike on it. I still try it from time to time. Sooner or later, I know that I'll catch one off the top with it, & it will be a GR8 day!! Thanks for the video. Catching a big fish with that lure makes me want to go try it now. In 2-3 months, there will be a lot of ducklings around, & that will be the best time to try it again. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Omg I finally found a fishing RU-vid channel that has a host that doesn’t seem very over excited

Five little ducks went out one day over the hill and Far Away mother duck said quack quack quack while the pike enjoyed a little duck snack

When I was young, our family used to go to Northern Alberta for holidays and do some Pike fishing. Those mini gators were so aggressive, we would find the oddest and craziest lures just to see the results, the pike would hit anything that moved, :)

Some beautiful catches! Major respect to how well you treat whatever you catch.

Can we take a second to appreciate how good he casts. He makes it look so easy lobbing that thing so far. Also, this video is so deserving of 10mil views. Super good quality video

Pike: Rubber ducky I am awfully fond of you!

Catch and release must be like an alien abduction, probably saved some ducklings with those lessons

My wife and I were wowed by this duckling/pike video. We had to buy one. I hope you are getting a kick-back on the sales. You certainly gave a good demonstration of the baits abilities to catch monster pike! 🙂

At 2:38 he was like "that was freaking crazy🙂" while I would of been like " DUDE THERE IS A MONSTER PIKE ON MY LURE DUDE!!!! 🤯😱"

Is there an academy award for these videos, because you deserve an Oscar for best sports action short video.?

OMG. I grew up on pike with my dad and uncle but with live 12" chubs in a slow muddy deep creek no more than 15 wide. They would catch 10-12 a day! This is incredible. I want to be there and do this!!!

Best video on you tube,no drivng gettin bait just plain fishing and no bad music

"He's not happy." Because it's the fourth time he fell for that lure...

I think that was my favorite fishing video I have ever watched on this platform. No clickbait, begging for likes, or super long periods without a fish (most fisherman on this app). You just go and fish. Nothing else, just beautiful fishing

That pike stalking was awesome, nice catch both on camera and the pole. Cool to see how, like a cat, he triggered on that little twitch. 18 million views, well earned!

WOW is right! Watching you try these new lures is so fun. I have never experienced the quality of fish that you are netting. Thank you for sharing.

2:10 это было красиво, столь внезапно появилась эта гигантская щука О_О

Only Matt would have a back lash result in a 40" pike biting a duck lure 5 feet from the kayak.

My friend im Chris in the UK, i love this clip so much and watch it many times, when i win the Lottery im coming to see you and buy you a Steak dinner. Chris.

Those male pikes lurking in the warm water really like bright colors and will go after almost anything. I usually keep the orange woblers as my "last resort" when a long day don't yield results on the bigger female pikes. Then I attach the orange/bright ones and approach the weeds...

this man is shaking from those sick adrenilin moments

I keep coming back to this video, I can't stop watching those pike just below the surface !

One of my favorite videos! I love how you can see the pike in the water. Captures the whole battle!

You’re so laid back and calming. I could see you getting into a fight behind a bar and being like..”Ok….It’s a beautiful Minnesota evening behind a bar….Im about to send a chump to the dentist. Im using Savorski brass knuckles today…….Hopefully we get some action for you all at home…..”

I bagged myself an 11lb pike this weekend up by Prairie du Chien in the Wisconsin river. It was great!

Been watching your channel for awhile now and i watch all other major fishing youtubers as well. What separates you from the rest is you won’t put a video out and hype it up with click bait titles. Every single video is a 10 out of 10, I really hope you don’t ever stop. Thank you brother this got me through a few days of no fishing.

you sound so relaxed, makes me wna go kayaking too

I know that feeling of catching those big pike! Fisherman’s dream!
