Fall Kayak Fishing! This POND Has GIANT Largemouth!
Спорт
We're exploring a new pond and it doesn't take long to find out there are BIG BASS lurking in these waters! When you pull up to a new lake (pond) and they're eating swimbaits, frogs, and punch rigs, you know you've found a special place! Come along for a day in the kayak as we break down a new fishery, adapt to changing conditions, and catch some really nice bass!
Matt starts the day with a big rat wake bait when he sees the flooded shoreline but soon realizes he's missed the window for this bite by a couple days. He falls back to some of his reliable favorites (frog and chatterbait) to build momentum, then switches back to a swimbait in search of a kicker fish. It works!! Once the bite comes to a halt you see the wheels turning as Matt adapts and finds a final method to get the leery midday bass to bite.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day. We've included the colors, sizes, as well as the rods and reels he had on the kayak. We'll also include links to his life jacket and kayak so you're prepared when you head back out on the water. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

We definitely want more kayak videos. The bass boats can relax. They have years of content to see 🤣.

Seems like a lot of guys can relate to Kayak fishing I've tried it and i say no thanks..
Awesome day Matt and thank you for setting the example for the importance of wearing a life preserver ❤️👊
Im a kayak guy, these videos are awesome! Thanks for taking me along!
Thank you for stressing the need for a PFD while kayak fishing- I wish more content creators would do this. Even in shallow water guys- you never know what will happen, you could get knocked unconscious.
Finally!!! someone who stands in their kayak to fish!!
I just want to say thank you to you guys. I don't use conventional gear for bass, I fly fish exclusively, but I cannot tell you the wealth of knowledge I've gained from you guys taking my fly bass game to the next level. THANK YOU!
Bubble by me are 40lb snappers lol 😂
As a fellow kayak Angler I love the kayak content. Definitely would love to see more of it.
Great that you guys popped out on the kayak
Bank, kayak, bass boat, John boat or bank fishing, doesn't matter. Matt and Tim are masters at producing the best bass videos on the planet. Thanks Matt.
When I see bubbles come to the surface, i always wonder what causes that. Now I know. Thanks Matt!
Loved this video Matt! Great to see you on the yak. What I really liked is the way you are able to find the fish after the bite turns off. I struggle with this… it’s incredibly deflating when you know they’re there but can’t buy a bite. Tight lines and please keep the kayak content coming!

Thank you! Hopefully this helps you on your next trip!
Amazing to see you prioritizing your life jacket over fishing. I’m 14 and lost one of my buddies because he didn’t wear his life jacket. It’s extremely important and glad you set an amazing example for your viewers. Wish more people would just take the extra time to do something that might save them more time.
The info given on where the fish are located,, how they behave and changing conditions is some of the most useful content you've done, less emphasis on gear and more on analyzing the situation. Well done!
Glad to see Georgia was good to you. We love y'all!
Pond fishing is zen fishing. Liked the fight with the stud at the end. The stealth approach in a yak, and close quarters combat punching with a slim profile plastic = FUN.
The bubbles trick........yeah this pond warrior needed that......
100% agree with the bubbles. Always a good spot to target and give atleast 1 cast at. to echo others also like mentioning of the pfd.
Kayak footage is top tier! Loved seeing you pick through your box picking the punch set. Thanks yall!
Yey, more kayak fishing! 😃👍
Kayak bass fishing is the greatest!🎣🎣🎣
The Lifejacket is super important. Just yesterday there sunk a boat on my homelake. One guy went missing. Just sad and avoidable. Be safe out there guys.
Love the Kayak content! As always, epic video!
Thanks for coming out Matt!
Love the kayak vids! Also thanks for remembering your life preserver. It’s nice seeing you stay safe.
Kayak on new water, small fishery, perfect video
This was a great video, the opportunity to talk about safety, and some pond content from Matt
I definitely enjoy the kayak videos. I do most of my fishing from my kayak. I have a small 12’ boat but only had it out twice this year. It so much easier to load and unload the kayak.

Try a ultraskiff 360 you will burn your kyak
That was fantastic. Thanks for all your content.
I got clued in buy the bubbles while fishing yesterday. Good to see you emphasizing wearing a pfd
Love seeing Matt slaying them on the yak 😎 now you just need Tim out there on the water in one too!
yay
Good job Matt.
nothing worse then forgetting something but that's part of the fun, "we must go on"
Great video... always learning very practical and informative.
Excellent
I definitely love the kyack videos.. thank you for this
Awesome video guys!! Love the content and y’all are always informative!! Normally spot on, and help me bring in the big ones
Need more of these, tons of us out here yakkin
Love the kayak videos!
Just have to mention, what a Great looking pond.
Nice fish and I love the natural tree lined lake, looked peaceful.
Great video, Matt! Lucky you have access to such a pond...
Good day out on the water man. Great video!
Nice!!!!!!
Nice!
Awesome
Very nice effort. I kept waiting for the Santa-Eskimo roll moment.
I know where your at Matt! Lol That pond has some studs!! 😉
Echo the PFD. Dumped my kayak once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Crazy how fast hypothermia sets in. PDF saved my ass both times.
I like that down sized punch rig
I love throwing that magdraft
Great vid I love my Autopilot was out at the delta this weekend had a blast catching and releasing bass!
Welcome to my neck of the woods!! Great video 🐽
Awesome catches.
I LOVE TO WATCH FISHING LIKE MOST OF US COULD ACTUALLY AFFORD TO DO...
Yes more kayake videos, questions does the fall transition apply in ponds
I definitely have the rat on the lure wish list. Good on ya playing it safe. Those places on a pond where water is moving in or out are golden! Those out of the way quiet places are definitely special. 👊🏻
finaly a kyack pond fishing what i do most :)
Love the kayak and pond video, that's how I do most my fishing, also good stuff with the life jacket you just never know, plus I'm from MA so the law is you have to wear one from Sept 15th through May 15th, cuz the water gets real cold fast, nice job tactical keep em coming
nice!
Finally some one to challenge gene Jensen in the monthly Georgia tournaments
Love it
A like, just for the PB Rat!!! Just got a 2 piece for my birthday and caught a nice 3-13 first cast with it...
Good stuff heading back for your vest. They only work if you wear 'em!
Love seeing Halo getting exposure!💪🏼🔥
Kayak video & a Rat? It must be christmas!!! I have a feeling next year, Matt will have a 40 4-stroke Merc on that yak 👍
Managed to catch a really nice 18" smallmouth ( which is a good fish around here) yesterday on a chrome and black jerkbait. Love fall fishing
That looks like sum nice water to be fishing in.
the delta was HOT these last few days, mid 90s, supposed to be 90 something today too, wish i was out there that is a BEAUTIFUL pond.

That’s hot? Never felt your average NC humidity eh. 100s on the heat index all the time with the 98 degree days.
More Kayak content please 🙏🏽
I can't wait until the first actual cold front down here in Louisiana.
Headed to Green River Lake in KY in about 2 weeks! Hope I catch one close to those!!
There is a Reservoir near me with big fish in they stock it heavy around this time
I always thought the bubbles were turtles 🐢 lol. Also, you need to get a Helix 7 or Helix 9 for that gorgeous kayak.
Would love to see what you can do at Assunpink Lake here in NJ. Pretty good fish in it but fairly pressured.
Matt has caught more giants than I have caught fish. LOL He catches a 7 pounder, says nice fish and throws it back. I catch a 7 pounder, I pick my lip up out of the water, weigh it, take a picture, rub it in and tell my buddy he sucks then I throw it back LOL Nice ones Matt!!!!
Thanks for getting the PFD. You may have saved a life with that message. They are absolutely required on a kayak.
I’ve left my life jacket at the truck before. Gotta have it. Weird crap happens on the water.
Lol, I would love more bank fishing.
The next time your down in good ole ga I wouldn't mind meeting up at lake kedron in peachtree city. I have a old town 106pdl I use around here.
Matt Review the Ultraskiff 360. I have two. The kyaks not for guys with bad backs. Its fishing machine. Soon sold at basspro
I picked up the same swim bait rod about two months ago. Pretty nice for the price.
Need a magdraft video!
Don't tell everyone about the bluegill jackhammer!
14:05 left side fish boil
Please do a video on how to fight /play and land fish once you hook them
This is a great video. I love the way you worked the reel with your left hand. Pretty new with a baitcaster so I'm gonna remember that move. Good stuff.
Just so you guys know, I believe you guys know where I’m talking about but I’ve fished a few times at a private pond just north of Fairfield California. It’s actually a part of the Vallejo Water District. I have once again put in to fish there again and I’m almost certain that it won’t be a problem again but I think it would be awesome to fish with you on this spot. Personally I’ve pulled a few five pounders and once caught a six and a half pounder out of there. I’ve actually had one bite and take off with my line without stopping and just stretched it until it snapped. I was fishing with twelve pound test that was in pretty good condition. Anyway I’ll be back in the North Bay… including the Delta and Clear Lake and of course Lake Berryessa.

How do you fish there??
I got on a crazy rat bite last week. would catch over 10 a night. ultra clear water so i could dead stick or retrieve ultra slow.
Do you still do fishing guides ? Great video and a cool spot to fish !
I've heard that inflatables don't work well in colder waters. I know you mentioned the water is still warm so no problem there but it is something to think about. I guess when it gets cold the c02 cartridge doesn't act the same and fill up as much or sometimes at all.

CO2 is pretty temp sensitive, it doesn't expand as quickly in the cold. I've worn an inflatable this year for familiar / flat water, I'll be going back to my foam vest pretty soon for the cool weather season.
Galen? That’s funny, I know a pretty cool guy named Galen as well... lol
All these years and I’ve never associated the bubbles I see now and then with fish…. Old dogs :)
7:47, that's a little bit bigger than a pond, lol.
We need some bank fishing videos too for us bank fishermen!!! @tacticalbassin

This would be great. My boat has been in the shop for two weeks, and I've done bank fishing in the interim. I have caught some small bass with soft jerk bait and poppers, but would like to see additional techniques.
more kayak videos
Matt just was down the river Saturday and had a monster muskie hit my 130 whopper plopper in black. Would love to see some more muskie river fishing. Possibly in Southern wv.lol we have got some big muskies.
