Spring Fishing For River Predators! 

Best fishing RU-vidr honestly

When he does his launching scene, I always feel bad that he has to go back for the camera

Im 12 years old and your the reason I get up early and fish instead sleeping. I see you fishing and love watching it

He's catching 40" pike and musky, and somehow has the ability to say, "Its time to turn around and go back." Love this guy!

You are a talented fisherman with a great voice and you are aware of the environment around you. Thanks for letting this 72 year old guy from the g south got fishing in ND. Great ride. The old professor

This guy is a expert at his craft. Solid Angling.

Man I can’t tell you how refreshing your channel is. No clickbait. No “OMG GUESS WHAT I CAUGHT TODAY!!!!” Just fishing. 👍

YES all I wanted was to see you slide down the hill in the kayak and you did not disappoint. Now on to the fishing!

Could you imagine how happy that pike was to get that grub out of its mouth

I’m convinced he has the success he has because of his temperament. Cool calm and collected all the time. No crazy antics, just out enjoying another day on the water🙏🏾🙏🏾

So soothing , I feel like I'm listening to Bob Ross painting a nature scene in real life.

That first was like "Thanks for taking that thing out for me bro"

Snow! hey my man I appreciate the heck outta you going fishing to share with us even in the snow.. Just starting to get a bit stir crazy here and these vids help.. Hope I can get a bit of fishing in this year.. stay safe and be healthy..

Wow!!! That entrance! I give it a 10.

Wow I'm jealous.. Awesome videos man, some of the best on RU-vid.

The “Like a Boss” Yak launch was on fleek

Best Pike fishing chanel, chill, simple, down to earth, no $$$$$$ equipment + saved first Pikes life with that hardstucc lure.

No one on RU-vid can cast as accurately as NDYakAngler

That launch was full send...🏆

Ahh..... now that’s North Country fishing! Muskies, Northern Pike and snow on the ground!👍🏻🎣🌲

That was great! I really don't get why everyone is so hung up on bass when these beauties are out there! Made me miss being out on the water...

This place is wonderful has beautiful fish, your fishing was amazing congratulations!👍🎣🐠🐟

You are the Bob Ross of fishing

Looking good! I learn alot and am not too far away from you, MN. Healthy specimens being put back makes me smile. 😊 Kayak forward, God speed.

Again, love this type of fishing video! No annoying music, no too much talk, makes me feel really calm and relaxed, I believe that's what a fisherman really wants.

He’s so calm, I love it

Thank you for SAVING the pike. I am so thankful.

Man I really enjoy these videos. It’s just plain and simple, calm and relaxing. Subscribed!

Great to see you’re thawed out enough to get back out there and bring us my favorite fishing videos. Tight lines and safe days.

Matt, Your the best fisherman that takes us along with no noise or loud mouthed blabbers & loud obnoxious music. . Simply great fishing in some of the best spots in your area. I wish we had anything close to what you have in Minnesota & the few hour long rides to get to some of these awesome spots. Here in MD. we have nothing this good. Thanks for all the great sharing. Nice snow launch & it sure paid off for you on this outing. Stay safe.. Some years ago i spent two weeks there in Itasca County & what a blast it was.

When I come across another video of yours I take time to watch. They are filled with the excitement of a catch yet very calming and relaxing. Thank you for not having head banging hard rock guitar noise in your video’s. 😀

This is by far one of the best fishing videos I have ever seen on RU-vid. The camera work, the narrative, the editing, the scenery, the fishing, the quality of fish. You very well may be the first RU-vid channel I have ever subscribed to. Outstanding work.

I have never watched much of this kind of fishing.... let me say...MY GOD IAM IMPRESSED! I was chucking thru this whole thing,,.... could not believe the strikes and beautiful fish... that you released...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

you know your inner child was screaming "WEEEEE!" when you launched in the river lol

Just the best videos. Matt, I look forward to your videos each and every time.

Love watching your videos , you’re not only a great fisherman but your voice and disposition are very soothing along with the natural sound scape ! Keep up the awesome work! Love the videos using your Grandpa’s old lures as well ! It’s been great during quarantine! Thanks

This is a 'reel' (real) Fishing Channel! So many Fishing "channels" on youtube are actually vlogs with 80% of content devoted to self-promotion. 2 Thumbs up Mr. NDYak

I know this is an old video now, but I just want to say that the originality of your dialogue is what makes this best, you speak your mind as you would when you're angling, "gonna head into town for a sandwich" that just sticks with me, you're just speaking your mind in front of a camera while catching beautiful fish, love the content and I'm always watching, keep up the great videos!

Unbelievable fishery up there. Thanks for sharing with us.

Keep em coming brother. You've taught me alot. And I plan to learn more. Thank you friend

Its incredible that a 1/4 oz soft lure bait can be devastating to large pikes and musky. Also the light equipment used put many a pike / musky anglers with their heavy rods and reels look like an overkill. Incredible adventure. Awesome man.

Love your calmness its videos like these that make you just appreciate the small things

I love how calm your videos are. They are well put together. Keep up the good work!

Omg that into slide in looked like soooo much fun 🤣. Killing it as always bud!!

There is nothing on You Tube I look forward too more than your excellent videos. Excellent as always.

Matt, One of your best video’s yet. When the fish are too big for the net is a major bonus. They were all nice and thick. In my region they are very scarce and considered a trophy. You had a whole day of them. I get to catch their little cousin Pickerel some call them slime darts. I enjoy their fight and mentality - alpha predator. I would love to catch a Pike or Muskie. It is a goal someday. I also like the fact you primarily use mono vs braid. Everyone is braid crazy. I am sure it has it’s benefits and positive features.

Thanks again for posting another kayak trip. I sure do enjoy your videos.

I love how you show the snagged on the underwater tree cast too, keeping it real! Another great video, thanks 🙏

@NDYakAngler Your respect for the fish is amazing, every release is gentle and with respect. Keep doing what you're doing man, it's great!

Thank goodness! Great timing my friend. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Another great video from a great RU-vid fisherman. You have inspired me to start my own fishing channel (coming soon). We need more RU-vid fisherman who give fishing, and the fish, the respect deserved.

Some huge fish for such a small system. Looks just like our local small river in Washington State but here we fish for steelhead in winter and smallies in summer.

Wow, I’m really glad you decided to go out there too! Great video dude. Editing, scenery, fishing all spot on. Some terrific big predators in that section of river. SoSoCal

Love this channel. No GD "What's up guys!" yelling stupid stuff. Thx. Keep it up!

Thanks for sharing. Looked like a lot of fun.

Nice launch.. That first fish thank you kind sir getting that jigg out ..

Your videos are always awesome

Early Season Toothy Critters are usually pretty cooperative - But one needs to know where to look; Clearly you do. You Nailed it Sir and btw - Sweet Launch ! Nicely Done.

He is the Bob Ross of fishing

Don’t forget those river walleye this spring.

Loved the lunching scene , as a usual 10 out of 10 , I have always enjoyed your video's , thank you , keep 'em coming .

Love your quick releases! Glad you use a net. Nice fish!

Nice launch 👌 👍, snow definitely comes in handy.

Great vid! Would love to see more pike and musky trips too! Keep up the great work.

Huge fan of your fishing and technique. Thanks for the videos.

your channel is so chill. love it

I enjoyed the trip immensely. Thanks for the video.

This guy is the king of kayak fishing

Perfect spring fishing in the snow

That transition from land to water doesn't get any more elegant than that.

these videos really give you sense of actually being there. idk how you do it.

You are the bob Ross of fishing love it!!!

hats off to this guy for fishing in the snow!

Like all of your fishing videos, Love the pike videos

Great video. Love your channel, just awesome fishing content. And your Bob Ross type voice just keeps it pleasant

Great video as always. Love watching you fish brother. Your entrance to the river was epic too haha

Best RU-vid fisherman. You inspire me my friend.

This guy does catch and release. Respect 👍🏼

Now that was going into the water with style that even an Eskimos would approve, Dammmmm Those Pikes are huge! Everything Bigger in America haha

Great video as always. Love watching you fight those big pike.

Funny how the hands don't seem to get cold when your carching big fish all day! Thanks for another great video. Really enjoy the simple, classy approach you take on your channel. Your fishing speaks for itself.

Love your vids buddy so relaxing yet so exhilarating!

love the launch shot looks like it was fun.

Unreal pike and musky shred! Ice out 'white out' I'm gonna go with that! Thanks Matt

Holy crap brother, you need a bigger net!!! NICE!

Thanks man. Just perfect. a 14 min reprieve from the craziness

That launch was smooth. 👌🏽 Bob Ross of Fishing does it again.

Man great video I love it! As others have said you’re the Bob Ross of RU-vid fishing videos

Love how you slid that kayak in lol

That’s a really nice fishery your floating on. Top quality fish. Enjoy

Another awesome day on the water, thoroughly enjoyed it, nice catches!

Wow great day on the water for sure!

Wow, you make muskie fishing look like its no big deal. I love this channel

Nice entrance!

Seriously love your videos. Thanks so much.

Excellent all the way around well done.

Man you’ve mastered the art of catching the Elusive , Well done , From Townsend Montana

Agree! Best fishing on RU-vid. But now, also best kayak launch! Haha, that was awesome. Love the 360 search baits, smashed pike with it last spring and had some tank smallmouth crush it too.

Bet you are glad of the thaw - you getting back onto the yak makes us all happy man. Nice fish mate

You sir are a darn good fisherman! Like, yeah there's a bit of luck involved but recognizing and fishing in the best lake/river structures available helps that luck by a fair amount. A brave fisherman too because personally, I'm still a bit scared to put my fingers near those monstrous jaws hehe! Thanks for that peaceful moment!
