I Tied On Grandpa's Old Mouse Lure And Caught A GIANT! 

“That ones for you grandpa” 🥺 incredible fish

Other you tubers when they catch a pb: “DUDE I CAUGHT A GIANT!!!!” NDYakAngker when he catches a pb: *whispers a little louder than normal*

We just experienced a moment together. Thank you for sharing such a great experience 🙏

You should frame the lure with a picture of the fish, and a picture of you and your grandpa if you have one

Wife: "Are you crying?" Me: "Yes. This fishing video is a tear jerker." Wife: "Fishing video?" (starts laughing) Me: I show her the video. Wife: Crying like a little baby at the end. She really loved her pappy (grandpa)! Thanks for another awesome video!

He is a genuine Angler 🎣 and Youtubist. Because he didn’t beg for likes. He was share some of his experience and passion. cool brother 😎 Lot of love from india 🇮🇳 and Qatar 🇶🇦

Thank you to all grandpas who taught their kids and even grand kids how to fish thank you all bass we catch are for you grandpa 🥺❤️

Absolutely amazing video man, you got a beautiful soul and make the best fishing videos around.

That moment when grandpa sends a gift from beyond just to say “Hi. Love ya’, and miss you.” Thanks for sharing that moment

First time I ever cried watching a fishing video. Not even ashamed about it.

I never had the pleasure. But he sounds like a great man. Grandpa thanks for teaching that boy to fish. He is a treasure to us all.

I live in Oregon and there is this lake me and my grandpa go 2, last sat I caught my first bass fish with his lure, it was a big mouth and I was really happy. Since I’m 13 it was the best moment in my life

Love it bro. Rest in peace to all those amazing Grandfather's that taught their grandchildren how to fish.

I’m going to be honest, when he said “that ones for you Grandpa” I shed a couple tears

Thank you Grand Pa, for sharing your grandson with us. He makes this crazy world a better place.

The scenery in the early morning is superb and when your rod bends under the pressure of a big largie and the braid sounds rubbing the guides…oh my gosh! But as I was watching this marvellous video I knew there were a more profound sentiment attached to catching your PB on your grandfatherˋs lure, an old nice little wooden mouse which you handle with the utmost love and reverence. Your words of gratitude towards him for the happy fishing memories you shared together are so moving. He still lives in your heart. This reminds me my late father and my feelings when I see his outdated fishing gear: his fiber glass rod, his Mitchell reel, his old lures some of which imported to Spain from the USA like the plastic worms Boone, the Golden Eye popper, the Cisco Kid crank bait…Fishing creates strong sentimental bonds between the members of a family. The film A River Runs Through It reflects that masterfully. Matt you are a most likeable type of guy and live the joy of fishing so strongly and genuinely in all its facets that your vídeos are a soothing medicine for the soul.

Who the heck disliked this premium, heart wrenching content.

“That ones for you grandpa” 😢 Right in the feels.....

One cannot simply watch this, with out shedding a tear. This is my second time watching this and it still hits hard, if not harder.

Alot of people don't understand just how special a bass over 5 lbs is up in northern climates. They aren't all that common

Considering you're the calmest angler I ever saw, I don't know what was more exciting; seeing you catch that fish or seeing your hands shake afterwards... and yes, thank you Grandpa. Thank you for teaching this kid to fish... in that sense, you've been a blessing to many many people😁

Despite all the difficulties we have faced in 2020, this year has had redeemable qualities. I have been able to spend more quality time with my family, I have rediscovered my love for fishing , and I found your channel. I keep reading comments of people saying this is the best fishing channel on RU-vid and after binge watching many of your videos, I totally see why. I feel so calm and relaxed after watching your videos, but also super motivated to embark on my next fishing trip. I rarely comment on RU-vid videos but your video made me reflect on many things. I have people telling me they feel stuck at home, or they are bored because they have nothing to do. I encourage my friends to go fishing, to enjoy the local lakes, to take advantage of the forced rest this year has given us. Some take my up on it, some don’t, its ok though. Last weekend my family and I went fishing all day to a local lake (Castaic Lace in Southern California) and we had a blast, we caught a large catfish, one blue gill, three small mouths, and a large mouth. The face on my son when he was reeling in his fish was just precious. Anyways, why am I commenting on your video? Well after watching it, I showed it to my wife. We talked about how great it is to have the opportunity to create memories with our children, memories that they will pass down to their children and so on...we will live through those memories after we are gone. What an honor to be able to “get to know” your grandfather and the impact he made in your life, thank you for taking us in this journey. I am only 42 years old and I am looking forward to one day take my own grand children fishing, your video made me appreciate more the importance of family and the simple things in life.

Absolutely the best fishing video I've ever seen. The sentimental attachment and emotion. that he expressed for his grandpa's lure and him being a true conservationists and outdoorsman. WOW

" tthat once's for you Grandpa"....! perfect memory Matt, very emotionnal vidéo, thank's a lot for share this moment with us...

If the last 40 seconds didn't make you cry, you have no soul. This was beautiful.

Great show.I miss my Grandpa too.He showed me how to trout fish at age 7.Im 51 now.He passed away almost 30 years ago.I really miss him.God bless Grandpas.

What a wonderful, heartfelt homage to grandpas everywhere who taught their grandchildren how to fish. Just got yourself a new sub.

Fishing is so much more deeper than just what appears. It's a connection to the past and so soothing for the mind and body, and teaches great lessons about not giving up and persistence.

He talks so calmly but you can see how much that bass meant to him, look at his hand shaking at 7:20. He was even more excited than he seemed for that fish

Dude, when I’m having a stressful day, I come to your channel. The world needs more people like you. Thank you for what you do!

It’s not very often that we as people get to witness experiences like this. @NdYakAngler was exactly where he was supposed to be when he was supposed to be there. The stars literally aligned and we witnessed a little miracle. Thank you so much for allowing us to tag along as a fly on the wall. First bass of the day is your PB on grandpas favorite lure = MIRACLE. I am so happy you retired that bait. I hate when I get sand in my eyes: tight lines 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Unreal moment. The kind of stuff that drives us to fish. You now have a forever story. To capture it on film? Icing. If you disliked this video? No soul.

“That ones for you grandpa” what a nice tribute to him, I bet he’s so proud of you matt congratulations on the new PB

"У каждого из нас на свете есть места...!" Замечательное видео, не только о рыбалке! 7:30 что то близкое мне и светлое - это память! Благодарю!

Just watched this on the TV and had to send you a note. First I've watched many of your videos on the TV and I really enjoy them, a lot. I live somewhat vicariously through them since😁 my canoe and Yak days are long gone, so thank you very much. I also love them due to the surroundings they are in, small waters. Finally, I was moved by this one in particular, since I lost my father nearly 40 years ago, I will let you imagine how this one made me feel, so a huge Thank You!

I never thought eyes could get wet when watching a fishing video. Thank you for the great video!

The vocal reaction was perfect, soft spoken just as expected. Can't hide the shakes though, amazing catch! Congratulations on the 6.11lb PB!

Rip to your grandpa, he taught you well and he’s up there in heaven watching you and he is so happy that you caught that fish on his lure and you caught your PB bass on his lure and I think he’s happy that you got a new PB

You sir, are a class act. Peaceful and down to earth. You are truly the best reflection of everything that is good about fishing.

What a fish… Beautiful hommage… I got tears… Much love from France❤️ And thank you for sharing your passion and love! Much love and respect 🙏🏼❤️

Does anyone else love his soothing whisper voice?

I watch these videos half for fishing but also half for the wholesomeness. In a time of such conflict, these videos act as somewhat of a refuge from all the craziness for me. Keep up the great work 😁

I absolutely loved this video and thank you for sharing it with us. My Grandpa taught me how to fish when I was just a little guy. He gave me my first rod and reel and all of my 1st lures-which were all previously used by him. I’m 62 now and have loved a LIFETIME of fishing because of him. I owe him so much. I’m glad you had the experience with your grandpa’s old lure. I got a little choked up watching this one. Stay safe and keep catching!

Thank you for sharing this day with us ! It was so nice to see your connection with your Grandpa through a lure, so to speak. I have recently discovered your channel and I am in love with what you’re doing ! Thank you.

You could see his hands shaking & that’s how you know it’s real & he loves it, that type of excitement is what it’s about. Beautiful fish & great fisherman!

Best bass vid ever!!! My father passed away last fall and was the only grandpa my kids ever met. He taught me to fish and hunt while enjoying the outdoors. Now my children are learning the same... Thank you for taking us on this memorable fishing journey. God bless!!!

This is a video I have found myself coming back to a few times. Just great scenery, a great fish, and an even better heart felt moment. This guy deserves the best and is very inspirational

Not only a fishing trip, a poetry. a music of life, a quality time with old grandpa. Thanks man, you really give us so much more.

Tail use to be horse hair, I can remember using that exact lure back in the late 60s early seventies

Thank you for taking us older fisherman along with you! I look forward to each of your outings! Love the way you film, edit and especially your comments! Keep up the great videos, they are super!

I also grew up with a grandfather who loved fishing. Any time my parents drove us down to grandpa's place, I knew it was going to be a good Saturday filled with trout, perch, catfish, and anything else we could get to bite at the local holes. It was never glamorous fishing, but it did leave me with a life-long love for the sport. Which my father and I have also shared many times too. I took a break from it when life got busy (marriage, work, child) but when I came back from deployment in 2016 I knew I had to get after 'em again. (Nothing makes you appreciate Rocky Mountain waters more than the flat, infernal deserts of the Middle East!) And every time I am out there at the edge of some reservoir on a delightful, quiet morning, and the fish are happening, I can picture my grandpa smiling. With that matchstick he always kept tucked in the corner of his mouth.

What a beautiful and touching video. How fantastic to catch that fish on your grandpa's old lure. Emotions went through the screen right to my heart. Thank's for sharing that moment ❤.

How not to get emotional with that? I've never met my grandpa, since both of them passed away before I was born. I share my love for fishing and nature with my son, who was in my lap watching this video. At the end he was crying and told me how much he loves me. Thank you!

I was watching this at work and I almost lost my shit. My grandpa taught me how to fish and when he passed I lost the greatest fishing buddy. I feel you man, keep making him proud!

Compelling story! Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences. I’ll keep watching this to keep me motivated

I really loved this video. I think every angler has someone like your grandpa that passed the skill and love down. We can all relate. Gold.

made me shed a tear, that was probably an awesome feeling. Keep up the good videos

"That one's for you Grandpa." - Best part of the entire video.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

Thank you for that one! Had a couple tears there, running down my cheek, but they were happy tears. I have my dad's bait that looks just like that. It choked me up and brought a lot of memories back. Mom and dad taught all 3 of us kids to fish in a big wooden boat, with Cane Poles, back in the 40s and 50s. I Still absolutely love to fish! In fact, I was just out fishing from shore for about five hours this evening, and I'm now 80! I love your videos!

I never comment, but I had to say how much that inspired and moved me. Like others have said, you are the best angler on RU-vid and the most humble. God Bless you, brother!

When you said this is for you grandpa, I shed a tear. Reminded me of my late grandpa and the many days we spent together fishing. Nicely played sir.

To have such deep respect for your Grandfather is something most beautiful and incredibly emotional even for me as a stranger watching from all the way back in Cape Town - South Africa. Take care and God Bless. Walk in Beauty, change the world ... 💖

All your videos are awesome, but this one was very touching. Glad you shared it with all of us. Fish on. In memory of your grandpa. AWESOME

Kind, humble and loving men like you are what has made this the greatest country in the world. I watch your videos for the serenity it brings during these chaotic times. THIS ONES FOR YOU GRANDPA🙏✝️😊

I have the same lure, only brown, I got it around 1974 , I am trying to instill my love for nature and the love of fishing in my grandson. Great video, Thanks.

Made me tear up at the end, my dude. Like you, my grandpa taught me how to fish. I'll never forget it.

What a pleasure to share this special moment and the spritiual wonder of fishing! Thank you for posting this and thanks Grandpa!

This is awesome! I fish with my father's old gear frequently. His favorite was his hula popper. I've never caught a darn thing on it though. I fish it every time I go out in dad's honour. I miss ya dad!

RU-vid needs a "golden buzzer" button! This video belongs in a hall of fame or something! You should make a "greatest hits" playlist and this one goes on top! Absolutely love your videos man!

I got so teared up… Thank you for the genuine emotion and unbelievable skill to watch. Cheers to Grandpa.

Best fishing channel there is. Great scenery, epic blowups, multispecies giants, cool lures, chill delivery.

That was one last big beast that Gramps gifted before retiring that lure to the wall. Those of us that relished every moment with our grandfathers are right there with you. Thank you for spending this time with all of us.

i cant imagine the feeling of catching your pb largy with your grandpas old lure heartwarming

That was so wonderful to watch and I can only imagine the emotions and feelings that were running through you at that time . Congratulations ! Very happy for you !!

Man.. seeing and hearing you holding back tears was starting to choke me up. Excellent fishing and congratulations on your personal best. Your grandfather would be proud! Tight lines my friend.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.. you're the best fisherman on RU-vid! I wanna be like you when I grow up lol

whomever hit the thumbs down button on this video either has no heart or wasn't loved as a kid. What a great moment with your grandpa's lure!!!

That right there is what fishing is all about. Reflecting on what those before you shared with you. What a fantastic tribute to your Grandpa. A fitting tribute: a frame with pic of Grandpa, that lure, pic of that fish. Thanks for sharing.

Gotta agree with everyone..your videos are great! Just relaxed commentary and alot of fish in an ideal setting. Loved your tribute to Grandpa. RESPECT!

love looking through my grandfathers old tackle box. super nostalgic.

Love you man. You made me start to cry to just because I understand how much it means to you. He sure was watching over you and gave you another moment even when he wasn't around. The watching over you thing is so real I have moments in my life where things like that just can't be a coincidence. Thanks for all your content and passion just thank you so much

Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible experience. What a catch! Your grandpa sounds like he was an incredible man, may he fish on in heaven.

Your not ashamed to post this, I’m not ashamed to say it, 7 hours after watching and still wiping away tears, If that’s not a close encounter of the GOD KIND I don’t know what is ! And you have it all on video ! For a man struggling with his Spirituality, this really helps. Thanks Matt, you’re a Blessed person and a Lucky Man 🙏🏻

Absolutely nothing wrong with showing emotion! I can only imagine how it felt to pay homage to your grandpa like that. I’m sure he was smiling down at you and the fish

Your grandpa was there with and had a big smile on his face when he seen his grandson caught his personal best on the lure you grew up watching him fish with. Even more happy to see his teaching was not in vain and real proud of his grandson!

A very touching and beautiful video. Memories of fishing with my grandpa flashed through mind. Thank you for this video.

Made my day watching this video. Truly moving. Beautiful video in every way. Grandpa would be proud!

Love your channel and the humbleness of your character, sir. I look forward everyday to a video.

Like always ,this guy is an awesome fisherman ,and others are correct ,he’s what a great RU-vidr should be, my dads birthday is 8/30 He died 1/1/20 and I miss him a ton, this video has inspired me to get my dads tackle box out and do the same, thank you😀

Great video. Thank you for sharing the moment with us.

Great fishing experience and remembering your grandpa. God bless you bro.

Your grandpa was watching over you and gave you your new personal best. Bless your grandpa and all the grandpa's who taught their grandson and/or granddaughter how to fish

you KNOW its a toad when the Bob Ross of fishing is shaking 😂👏

Happy for you! This was great! Kudos to grandpa!

I said to myself "he should retire that lure!" I too hold my grandpa close to my heart! I think about him every day and know he's watching over me! I love your videos! Keep up the great work!

Almost had me tear up talking about your grandpa at the end there.

So touching! Being in the middle of three generations of fisherman, I so appreciate this video.

What a behemoth!! Great job repurposing your grandpa’s lure. Can only imagine how gratifying and special that moment must have been. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I did the same thing with my dads lure he gave me before passing away from cancer . I ended up catching a very nice walleye with it . I put that lure away and will never throw it again . Your video hit me hard and brought about some powerful emotions . God bless and tight lines ! I put a video on my channel months ago check it out ru-vid.com
