I honestly do not understand how he isn’t up there with the fishing KZreadrs that have millions and millions of subscribers? What are we doing we need to get his subscriber count up! His content along with the quality of content he creates is bar none

Thanks again, Matt, for taking us along. Glad you are liking the new boat. One of the things that has impressed me is that you've maintained that Tarpon through all these years. The hatch is sun faded, it shows the years of use, and love. Enjoy the Hobie. Just got a Crescent Lite Tackle 2 for Father's Day. Can't wait to get it slimed!

When you said “get the net” when you got the little guy it reminded me of when I would go fishing with my dad on Lake Erie. He would say that whenever he caught a blue gill or perch. We would laugh so hard! I miss those days.

Thanks, Matt, for another great day of bass fishing. Those were all pretty nice fish! I like your new Hobie, I hope it gives you many, many pleasurable fishing adventures, as I'm sure it will! Take care and be safe.

You are the Bob Ross of fishing sir. Well done.

Love the new kayak! My girlfriend loves your voice, and I must say, it is rather soothing lol 😂. I think you have a future in voice-overs and doing audible versions of books. Good luck 🍀 fishing this year brother !!

@yikes7963

Agreed love his voice!!!

Cool... pedal power... heat shrink wacky rig... I've caught ONE bass on a wacky rig! Haha.. I'll have to try that more. Thanks for the floating adventure!

"They can't say No to the wacky worm!" I love hearing the classic one liners! Really neat to see the new Hobie on the water. I like the breakdown you give on it. You totally nailed it, there is no "one" perfect kayak for all fishing. The right tool for the right job. Another classic video. Thank you!

I just wanted to say we love ya bro & thanks for all the great content. Hidden gem in a gloom world.

I live in the NY State Adirondak's. Thank Sir for your insight and inspiration. Bought my Hobie Compass 2019 to explore and fish the almost unbelievable number of waterways. You and your videos help me get a fish every time I go on an adventure. Hope you get to love your Compass as much as I do mine. Peace and Tranquility!

Thanks for taking us along on another fun trip.

The fish are having a meeting: “It’s that guy in the kayak with the calming voice again, we should visit him.” 🤣😂🤣

Great video of my new go-to rig in weedy lakes. It's good for many different scenarios and I tell anyone who will listen. Like my cousin told me..this will change your life..in fishing anyway. Glad you got the new Hobie out there Matt. Blessings

I enjoy watching your videos. You are probably the coolest KZread fisherman out there. You don't create drama and yelling, still being one of the most efficient anglers on YT. Even though I make fishing lures and sell them all around the world, I can rarely go fishing my self, due to my work and having a disabled child that I take care of at the same time most every day. Your videos are like a therapy for me. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Thanks, Matt… love northern largemouth fishing!!

A most entertaining video with the largemouth in a wonderful lake. I do appreciate the thorough description of the gear and especially that of the rigged lure. I hate those other videos one can find in the internet with lots of screaming and “gimme five” where the anglers seem to forget that some of us want to learn something about the method used in the catch along with enjoying a nice quiet scenery. Oftentimes they even deny us a close up of the fish beauty or, even worst, don’t treat the animal properly before releasing it. Certainly not the case with NDYakAngler. That's why, I guess, many people say that they fish vicariously through Matt.

I would love to see some videos of you rigging up your new kayak. It's awesome to see what you did with your old one!

Another great video thank you for taking us along once again man 🔥🔥

The Bob Ross of YT bass fishing, between him and Greg Blanchard, I love these videos. Love the new hobie, I just got the pelican Catch Mode, being able to stand up makes all the difference.

I love your channel! I followed many channels for years, but your's is one of only a couple I still follow. I fish out of several Hobie's and I have always found that a rudder upgrade like Boonedox is really worth it. I've not fished a Compass but I have had several Outbacks. The stock rudder was always too soft for me, even with regular tension adjustments. Keep up the great content!

Liking the new whip. Absolutely love fishing clear water with wacky. That clicking drag on the Zillion is such a great feature.

‘Sometimes you gotta jiggle that handle’ has a different meaning here in East Tennessee 😂😂 Great video.

Great content every time. I’ve fished from a tarpon 120 since 2004;Still going strong. Considering a pedal drive as well

I always saw people using wacky worms on KZread and this was the video that made me try it and I am so thankful because I caught my PB of 6.324 lb

dude watching these videos made me obsessed with kayak fishing. Ever since I found you I've had the chance to fish out of the kayak a lot during the summer and it's been absolutely amazing. Keep going bro these are the best fishing videos I've ever seen

He's like the Bob Ross of fishing. Love it 👌

Beautiful country and perfect day really for being on the water. And you had it to yourself seemingly. Nice video dude.

Once again another enjoyable video from you! The bite was on for sure.

YES!!! Been wearing them out this summer on the wacky rig as well, lovingthe frequent posts!!💪💪💪

I hooked into a few decent bass at my favorite pond with a combination of bluegill and perch colored whopper ploppers. The top water strikes never get old.

Great to see the new kayak in action!

Nice fish on the wacky. I really enjoy your videos, they make me want to go fishing!

New kayak looks great. Nice catches too…I definitely want to save more worms so I’ll try what you’re doing w the shrink wrap… thanks … catch you on your next video!

The pedal-drive is a game changer! Congrats on the new kayak and a great video as always!!

I live in central Oklahoma and I sure enjoy your content. Every video is relaxing and you catch beautiful fish! I've never seen a pike before and they sure are pretty! Today's video and all those bass are ah-mazing!

FINALLY!!!!! Ever since I saw you post this when you bought it, I've been excited for you to get out on it. Congratulations!!

This was great watching you catch these beautiful bass. The lake the clear water reminds me of wher my dad and i used to go up in michigan every summer , before he passed away. Those bass do look really fat and healthy, nice fish. Thank you for posting, i enjoyed it. Take care.😊

Nice kayak upgrade! That Mirage drive is incredible, I use my wife's Hobie Lynx for river fishing, and it maneuvers like a dream.

Thanks for the info on your wacky rig set up...definitely going to give it a try. Amazing bass day bro!!

Thanks. Your work is appreciated. Enjoyable entertainment.

I just found your channel (thanks algorithm, you got it right 😂) nothing like winding down the day with you getting some really good bass of the whacky! Whacky is my go to when the going is tough!!

Great video! Love the new Hobie. I purchased a Radar 115 with pedals last fall. I hadn’t planned on getting pedals, but couldn’t pass up the deal. They are a game changer! I will never own another kayak without pedals.

Another great and relaxing day on the water, tearing up the fish! Great video!🎣👊

Thanks for taking us along...

Wow Matt that kayak is so cool never seen one in action before

I love all your videos so relaxing and fun!

I love when small fish go after bait that is as big as they are. Got a chuckle out of that perch.

Got my Hobie Compass in March and have been enjoying it ever since. Locally it’s all reservoir fishing here in north Texas so it has no issues and I have gone through some decent weeds with it as well. You are a master with a paddle but I think you will like the hands free approach as well. Love the channel and can’t wait to see how you rig your Compass

Thanks for the show!

I used a friend’s Hobbie a couple summers ago and I really liked it but I bought an Old Town 106 PDL because it’s easier to back pedal for reverse instead of having to pull the cable for reverse with the Mirage system. They both have their pros and cons I suppose. Great video Matt. I love catching those bass like that with the rubber worms. I look forward to the next video. 👍

Matt, That little one was big at heart. We have a small lake here in South Central PA, that I can only catch bass with a wacky worm. They hit early morning right up on the bank and generally under low hanging trees and mossy areas. To date, these are the most finicky bass I've encountered.

Can’t wait for bass to open here in Southern Ontario, I’ve been pike fishing from my kayak, I’m seeing huge large and small mouth everywhere, catching lots of pike to keep me occupied.

Thankyou sir! Have a great weekend 🤟🏾💜✌🏾

beautiful fish, lake, kayak, everything....... perfect! ;)

Nice kayak!! You caught some quality fish on the wacky worm!!👍love you videos 👍👍

Ah so peaceful! Thank you for this!

I’m really enjoying your videos and you have my attention respect and support.

Awesome new Hobie Matt! 😎👊🤙

The Bob Ross Of Fishing Videos Love Em 😁💪

Nice to see you on the Hobie, I love my Outback. I still use my paddle yak at times

Man, that yak is sick. It’s also interesting to see you catch green ones haha. Good stuff sir.

happy to see you finally upgraded your yak...keep up the great content

Highly recommend the compass for bass fishing and yes very stable even in waves onces you get the stance. Wish I had the reversible drive.

Utterly fantastic Matt top notch cheers pal 👍🎣🐳🍻

great video as always, awesome kayak dude. I hope to one day get one of my own. Haven't out the wacky rig down myself

Nice day of fishing! Sure a lot of fun to watch

I’ve seen the thumbnails thinking it was more talk than action, but this is more than the thumbnail. Great fishing.

Awesome video as always bro 😎 keep grinding em out man

that lake looks so big and clean.wacky is the way 2 go

Awesome video! The wacky rig works so well! Especially in pressured waters. I've been getting into throwing big swimbaits and a lot of times i only get follows, but nothing that a wacky rig can't solve! If i see a follow but the fish won't eat the swimbait, I'll toss in a wacky rig and the bass takes that most of the time.

You make a great point. With all the grass in my area i normally fish weedless. However I have been throwing wacky and I seem to get those that wouldn't bite weedless. great video

Hi Matt, sweet nice new kayak, and it seems that the bass here in ky love that wacky worm too!

Oh man, a kayak upgrade!!! I'll miss the sound of the paddle, but I'm glad to see you're able to make the investment into a higher end boat. Just got my first legend tournament rod because you speak highly of them and I love it! Maybe I'll upgrade to a hobie in a few years if it works out for you. Your content mirrors my style of fishing almost exactly. Thank you for your videos, brother!

Welcome to the hobie life man! Always wondered when you were gonna upgrade lol. ❤

Matt you rock! Love the channel and content! Peace

Welcome to the peddle drive family! It's a game changer for range and more time with the lure in the water instead of on the paddle. Looking forward to the new adventures....

Great video Matt. Keep the videos coming. Recovering from knee surgery. So it's going to be a while before I can get back out on the water. Just had it last Tuesday.
