Spring Fishing Cut Bait Channel Catfish! 

The fact that this channel is still free of music, screaming, nauseating brand promotion... just a man and his Kayak. Cheers brother. You're a cut above the rest.

Best fishing channel there is on YT. Hands down. Keep up the great work Matt!

Just made it out ...in wisconsin...got me 12 ...8 norts and 4 bass....good times fish on bud

Amazing 😁👍

Hi,i love your videos❤

Is the Red River always that muddy? Or is it the residual of the flood season? I guess that the Channel Cats wouldn’t be at their best for table fare. I guess with the proper amount of land you could purge them in a pond

Just buy a real aloe plant if you have issues from the sun. Live aloe plants are great for your skin.

This channel is perfect, please never change.

It's been said before but best fishing channel on RU-vid. No pushing cheap products, stupid challenges, or collaborations that don't make sense...just you, nature,and hopefully some fish each video!

I’m always impressed how clean your gear is 😂. After a day on the red for me I’ve got mud caked on my stuff for weeks haha!

Always a good day when NDyakanger posts!

Being able to catch 2 huge channel cats at the same time. Using the same net. In a kayak…. Next level stuff right there!

We're on our way up. We come up every spring for the pre-spawn. Phenomenal fishery!!!

Сan,t Stop watching you after your video couple Year Ago when Crazy Pike wos jump on Duck Lure 🦆🔥🔥🔥🐊

Well I see what I'm doing wrong,I have to talk in a calm voice instead of cussing the fish lol,and I gotta fish where there's fish😂,I have been using everything even cut bait and absolutely nothing but turtles,awesome video man really like them

Been following you since I believe Covid started and haven’t stopped since. You are a big part of the reason I got back into fishing again. Even bought a small 12’ Grumman and refurbished it. Best investment I have made and been fishing ever since. Love your channel brother. It’s like being there and almost as enjoyable. Almost.😊

😂 at least you saw you were missing the paddle before launching. Once I was so excited to get out of work and hit the lake I launched my canoe and since the wind was blowing me where i needed to go I decided to drift while rigging my poles. Once i finished rigging I went to grab a paddle and nope, not there. I looked back at the boat launch and there they were leaning up against my car. I had to quickly tie on a Big-O and cast it into the bushes on shore and reel myself back in.

You, sir, are awesome. From a lifelong MN fisherman, I have to say you do it all right. Super duper excited to see what this season brings you. Thanks for sharing the fun with us.

And lo, he did speak with the mouth of a catfish. And with it, he said "mwehhh"

That's amazing, Matt. Two fish in one net must be a great feeling!

Man yeh...dead-stickin' for cats in the mud! A favorite method on the Little Kanawha and Ohio Rivers here. Great content AGAIN Matt! So well edited and curated and STILL included the forgotten paddle and tangled lines...so relatable and still amazing...TWO IN THE NET AT ONCE DUDE! EPIC! Almost as good as the two on the same lure.

Beautiful and thanks for releasing the poor hungry rascals

I remember fishing with my dad as a little kid with a Superman pole and catching giant channel cat on the Superman pole my dad was amazed

What a professional angler and youtuber!

Perfect uploading time!🎉

I've forgotten the paddle after I floated away lol. I fished till I hit the bank and walked back haha

I really like your Catfish video's i hope you make more of them

Best fishing content on youtube

Wow. When I was a kid (60 years ago) we rarely saw catfish over 4 pounds, and we fished all day. Now the Red produces big cats like crazy. I wonder if we simply were unlucky as kids, or if something truly happened in the fishery to produce these monsters. One thing that might be a clue is that we seldom caught goldeyes back then; however, we did catch a lot of carp. One more thing: that is very good fishing, IMO, considering the river is high.

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing the action in such a serene, mature way.

Sit here, crochet, drink my coffee, and dream about getting the Hammerhead "whale shark" kayak.

I can't stand the fishing videos with the same music and fake buildup. Thank you for not being one of those channels.

Those are some good healthy catfish idk if you eat em but they are amazing if done right

Circle hooks, give ‘em a bit of drag, and you’ll lose less fish. Love the videos

We get it you guys. He makes good videos. Someone comment something about the video lmfao

I know a sweet spot for some big catfish down by the 52nd ave boat launch.

One of the best rivers in America to catch these great fish

Makes me won't to deepfry me some catfish & hushpuppys👍✌

Totally different vibe from the smallie videos but good job. Still the best fishing RU-vidr!

This is so wholesome, keep doing you man ! Inspiring me to pick the rod back up !

Two cats with one stone so-to-speak. Incredible!! Love this channel (cat)!.

I am getting ready to go fishing for carp and stocked catfish, any recommendations for fishing for both? I was told nightcrawlers might be a good choice

I love your channel!! Some commenter called you the Bob Ross of fishing and I think that is accurate haha!!

My way to fish! Great video! Keep them coming.

Thanks Matt, I enjoyed every moment of river fishing for big cats! Keep up the great content!

I watch only a few fisherman, always look for yours...👍

If there was a contest and I got to choose between a new car and a weekend fishing with Matt, hands down I'd be on my way with my rod!

A marvellous fishing day with the channel cats. Two of them at a time in the net and afterwards a third one. All of them good sized. The spring day and the American Red River of the North are so beautiful. A remarkable and smart description of the equipment by our good friend Matt…Those detailed descriptions are one the main assets of this RU-vid channel to me. I find them quite interesting and useful. I really appreciate them. I enjoyed the video a lot, as always. I wish I had caught only just one of those three little pigs in my last fishing trip on my Easter vacation. No channel cat took my nice chunks of mackerel in a Spanish reservoir (La Serena reservoir) that six years ago had been a paradise on them. Surely the extremely low level was a factor. Thanks to this video I “fished “ vicariously this species that was illegally stocked in my country.

What the hoop size/ name of your landing net?

Do you open the drag completely to let the spool freewheel until you are ready to set the hook? I know some spinning gear has that option? Thanks!

Nice! I need to get back over that way sometime this summer to try to catch some big cats.

The Bob Ross of fishing right here

Ever tried the Balloon rig for cats I just tried it for the first time I saw it on kayak catfish and it worked:)

Dang I just love this channel, no over the top nonsense. Just pure enjoyable time outdoors

Only Matt gets two in the net! Let's get him a million subscribers! He deserves it. Best fishing channel on RU-vid.

Maybe try circle hooks, for a better hookup ratio.

Make a video going over the set up! Looks simple, love it

Best way to start the weekend, right here!!!

In Manitoba or North Dakota, the Red River is a beast for big cats. Love the channel bro!

Love your channel and how you kept it all about fishing. I do have a question regarding your Hobie. Will you be making any videos fishing out of the Hobie? I'm considering purchasing a compass and am curious what your thoughts are on it after some time on the water. Thank you!!

Never a dull moment! 2 fishes, 1 net. Awesome footage, thx.

the narrator has such a soothing calm voice... this is how you make a youtube video. No stupid over music and intros that take up half the video and sponsor breaks and stupid cut scenes. Much respect.

Take me to the Red River drop my line in the water.

I hate fishing out of a kayak but i like watching it

great video as always

You channel catfish up north look nothing like our channel catfish down here in Geogia. Ours are light brown with spots. You channel cats look like blue cats.

Nice fishing trip hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Great video, great channel!👍

I am ready to see some crazy top water bites

😀👍🐳🐳👍😀

15:07 Two fat catfish, that's dinner.

I know there's lots of Southern Boys just droolin' at the thought of a good ole Southern Catfish Fry gone to waste with those three big Channel Cats caught & released...still, I'm glad you let em go...nice fishin' 😊

I love those triumph rods. Best budget rods on the market in my opinion. $100 or less, you can’t beat them. 🤙

Wow, nice film and fishes. 👍🏻

Those cats look like lunch to me

I feel like I’ve already watched this video eight times before on your channel.

Small advice ~ punch that hook through the belly bone of those baits will leave more hook exposed. If you hit the layered scales you’ll know and it won’t come off as easy…it’s like hooking through bone almost!

Those are good looking fish

You would of been up the creek

Stellar cats Sir!! Keep up the awesome content 🤙🎣 Always look forward to you dropping a new upload. Keep it the great work 🤙🎣

Two fish in the net! Wow!

Where’s the pliers bro!

Give circle hooks a try. They really cut down on the swings-and-misses. I used them religiously on the Red for cats. You might not get as big of a satisfaction from setting the hook, but seeing a rod double over and a sumo hook itself is pretty entertaining, regardless.

Love you fish video❤

Thanks Matt for another great video. You are fishing right by my hometown.

Sweet double hook up

great content as always

Thanks for these videos. Now I can go fishing without the bugs and bother.

I watch you catch the monster fish than let them go. Don’t you ever take one home for dinner?

what kind of kayak is that?

Absolutely love this channel, I am enjoying every video you upload and I can't wait for the next one!

I was wondering if we would see another frog-karatechop with the kayak paddle 🤣

Fun to watch!

can you make a video on how to cut up bluegill for this?

3 big cats! They were all healthy looking 👀. Glad to see new videos coming out. Thank You.

Love the videos man ... me and the family have been out a few times already on the red and done well but this weekend should be on fire ... my boys finally got to reel in some and loved it ... keep them coming and maybe ill see ya on the river

love your videos man, calm and collective fishing and birds chirping and drag screaming love it

Nice cats

Thanks as always brother, catch some whoppers for us this summer.
