The birds chirping on the audio of outdoors while viewing the underwater camera is a really cool thing to experience. Great video, many Thanks!

I love how the first bass was caught on camera. It clearly didn't expect to get whisked away to Narnia just from biting the Helgrammite!

@@Hshshdfb I don’t think fish know to use the current as an advantage, they are just seeking cover/fleeing. They can seem smart, but don’t give them too much credit haha. They definitely don’t know that they are fighting an angler. There are exceptions of course, for example at a KOA campground there was a pond that was catch and release. They basically only eat hot dogs, and they hardly fight because they just go back into the water and wait for their next hot dog 😂😂😂 hahaha.

As usual, Sir, your camera work and commentary are awesome. Thank you for putting in the work to bring your corner of the world to my corner.

Matt, that is the epitome of the saying " patience is a virtue"! You are most definitely a master angler; I enjoyed every moment! Anxiously awaiting your next video!

This is one of the best examples of how smallies behave on beds on YT. Excellent editing skills, great filmwork, and even better commentary. Great content and keep up the amazing work!

I think the smallies are showing excellent life skills on their beds, as far as should it sacrifice itself for it's youth or simply because they are hungry.,

I’ve noticed you’ve been using that underwater camera shot more often and I think it’s awesome! Keep up the good work! Edit: Where do you buy your lures?

Never... ever... get tired of watching your videos, mate. I know it's been said many times, but it's so true; you are the Bob Ross of fishing...! Peaceful, relaxing, and just a joy to watch. First time I've seen the GoPro strike footage too, and that's an outstanding twist to already great videos. LOVE IT...!

Nothing better than a good day of fishing from the yak. Thanks for the great content

Reminds me of the old bass professor....Doug Hannon. He use to have outstanding under water footage of bass. Excellant video coverage. Outstanding. Really shows fish behavior and how they set up on a bait.

Whenever I see that familiar building at the beginning of a video I know we're in for a treat. Great stuff Matt-thanks for the great footage and for taking us along. God bless.

This is great! I love the underwater shots! It really shows the almost depressing amount of times you ALMOST get a bite. I do some scuba diving in a local lake (Stillhouse hollow, Texas) its a very clear lake and the dive shop is right at the marina/restaurant so there are always folks fishing. I cant calculate how many times I've see bass travel 10+ feet charging at a lure and then stop at the last second like "nah" Its what got me into adding scents to my lures, the sheer number of times a fish almost commits and then doesn't, I figure it might help.

Another awesome video with no fish harmed. Great explanation on how bed fishing really has no effect on the nest or the fish.

Thanks for putting in that extra effort for our viewing pleasure

Getting the eat on GoPro is freaking awesome!!! It’s what every fisherman wants to see is how fish react and eat stuff… when smallies are on their beds you can almost see their facial expressions change like they actually got pissed and ate whatever intruded on their spawn bed

@NDYakAngler, thanks to you and your videos I got a kayak last fall for fishing and have already been out 4 times! Yesterday I was actually able to go out on a lake with my wife sup-ing for our 5 year anniversary! Much thanks! Keep it going brother

Perfect example of how less is more when working plastic bates. Good stuff brother.

Awesome footage. Thanks for taking the time to show us this.

I really look forward to your videos. Again thank you for sharing

It’s amazing to see the smallies work your bait! It sure teaches you patience🎣 I like your video, been watching them for awhile(3 or so years), keep up the good work!

such an awesome perspective to see these smallies being caught. thank you so much for doing this was such a pleasure to watch. i love your channel!

At 18:30, I FELT your victory!! It radiated throughout your entire fan base! 💪🤜🤛

Man I love watching your videos, they soothe the soul and put me in a better place. Full credit to the go pro footage . Keep up the good work dude it's much appreciated 👊🏻

Thanks for the footage and commentary Matt! What a beautiful day

Matt, I had a great time watching you catch these Smallies. Best video of the day. Actually, any time you post is the best video of the day. Thank you for sharing. God Bless you and yours.

Fishing science. Should be a course for credit. Nice work.

Thank you for the kind video ! You have a good rest, enjoy nature. Good luck to you, good man. from Russia.

For those underwater GoPro strike shots it would be hysterical if you could do an old Batman style “Yoink!!!” graphic. Great video as always. Thanks for bringing us along!

The fishing skill editing nature sounds all incredible but your respect for wildlife and outdoors is what makes you Great

I love the play by play: "twitch twitch twitch". :-). Another wonderful video!

Awesome video as always. I really enjoy the underwater footage!! Thanks for sharing this with us!

22:20 watching that fish pick up an immobile stick while your bouncing your lure right next to him was hilarous to me

That was actually a fly larvae that was an actual threat to the eggs, you can see it crawling off after the fish dropped it

Love the set up. Learn so much here. Great as always. One of favorites! Awesome.

Great video as always! I love how you stress ethical fishing, preserving the bed, not fishing where the small fish might dive in for the eggs for the 60 seconds the parent fish is off the nest. Great camera work!! Keep the videos coming! I watch them all! Have a blessed week!!

Been watching the channel all morning then BOOM new video!!! Freaking sweet!!💪

That underwater view is awesome to watch, the way the lure is rigged and weighted really makes it look like its rooting around trying to eat the eggs especially when you give it a little twitch and that shows why it works so well for this. Bed fishing isnt something we generally get to do over here because most rivers have a closed season for spawning so no fishing allowed but its still very interesting to watch

Just over 30 mins of pure fishing heaven ....superb Matt thank you 👌🐳🎣👍🍻

These under water videos are the best and you do a great job. Thanks for your awesome work.

Fantastic video and commentary sir ! Loved the under water footage and explanation. Superb content!

Awesome as always !!

Loved watching their bedding behaviors.❤

Nice to watch! Kayak fishing looks good and relaxing! Thanks for inspiring me, I’ll collect my Dorado this week!

What a day. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Nothing better than some good smallmouth bass fishing. Thanks for sharing Matt, definitely enjoyed this video.

Awesome video. Cool to see the reaction. Shows it takes a lot of patience.

Wow awesome footage ! I can watch all day! Thanks

Love your videos always quality footage 👍👍🚣‍♀️🎣

Thank you. As always job well done. All around. Fishing skills, video capture and I especially liked your editing technique of keeping the above water soundtrack ( birds etc ) going over the underwater footage. 😉

I'm excited for the new videos with the new kayak!

This was such a damn good video! I loved watching them get hooked up I thought it was hilarious when you were twitching that bait in the water, crazy how effective it is 😂

Nice underwater shots! Thanks for sharing this. I just found a nice Smallmouth spot so this is helpful!

great work! thanks for sharing

First, let me preface, you are an extraordinary hunter/fisherman. Your presentation over and over and . . .over while getting no response had me in stitches. Your presentation was almost flawless. Each amazing presentation was met with complete indifference. At one point he picked up and shed a piece of garbage right beside the hellgrammite. What I was laughing at so hard was you’d bumped into a developmentally delayed bass. Normally you have amazingly good luck. If nothing else, this was immensely entertaining. 😂 Thank you. 👍

I agree. 😊 After submitting my initial piece I began to wonder if that particular fish might have been experiencing some vision problems. Not necessarily blind but certainly impaired. Just a thought of mine.

The underwater shots are really good. This adds so much value to a fishing video.

Love these videos, they make me want to fish more

Always love the underwater footage. Cant wait to see more big musky or maybe some crappie action soon

This was awesome footage!

Super cool to see the underwater footage - awesome video!

Good content, as always. Congrats bro!

Fantastic underwater shots! Love the videos!

Gorgeous underwater footages! He hooked the first bass like training his pet.

GREAT GO-PRO WORK!!! That first bite perfect!

Your underwater shots are so cool!

And your catching tank after tank, I DREAM of smallie fishing this good.

This is excellent underwater shots of these smallies.

Spawn fishing is awesome as long as you treat the fish correctly. You do an awesome job of that. Catch em and get em back to their bed as quickly as possible. 👌🏼

Really pushing your camera work and editing skills. We appreciate all the extra effort. Videos have been fantastic man.

You need to come to montana and fish for sturgeon, you’d love it man, they get big. I’d love to see you catch big sturgeon

Excellent video! You have really out done yourself with the go Pro next to the beds. Outstanding!

Fantastic video really enjoyed it 😊

The underwater footage was amazing

One of the best Small Mouth bed fishing videos I have ever seen, thank you for your efforts 👌

Awesome underwater vid! And just when you thought fishing for catfish took patience. Can’t wait for the next one!

Best video footage I have ever seen of catching smallies off the bed!

Done lots of smallie fishing on West Lake Okoboji! Noticed on 1st fish same thing as many fish we caught on beds in the past! Once you tossed that bait into the clean gravel of bed it was game on! When the hellgramite was off side in the dirtier gravel it wasn't that interested! I found that most bedding fish have an area of the bed they don't like things in; just need to read reaction of the fish! Love your smallie fishing content; keep up the great work!

Love the underwater footage

I love watching you fish brother. Bless you

Educational!! Thx!

Really interesting to me how the last bass kept observing your lure. It’s clear he is using only one eye just checking it out and studying. I saw only look directly at your helgamite once but really just kept in his vision mostly. It’s as if he was more curious than anything. Seems like he took the bait just to see what would happen almost. Thanks for sharing.

12/10 production value

Awesome video I really enjoyed it 😊

I'm so ready to catch some bass after this one. Great video!

I enjoyed this style video, nice smallies

That underwater shot it’s crazy cool. Very interested in how that gets planned out

These bed fishing vids cannot be outdone. So fascinating. Great stuff ND.

Good stuff!

Really cool start to the video with the underwater shots of the smallie.

LOVE the bed cams! Awesome idea, nice work MSA!

Love the underwater footage!

Great video like always 😊 I went fishing yesterday and caught a Yellow perch for my native fish tank
