The amazing accuracy with his casts shows just how many casts he has made over his time fishing. Hundred of thousands, I'd guess.

I did search for his blooper reel just to make myself feel better! But yes I love his smooth accurate casts.

Right, I probably make 100 a weekend and I feel like a child compared to him, especially on a kayak with a 7,4 pole

Not saying he ISN'T amazing at casting, but you also never know what's being edited out. Never assume what you see on KZread as absolute reality.

I have always admired his casting accuracy, even when I think he miscasts, it ends up on target. It’s like watching and listening to Bob Ross. Calming voice. Then, when he adds something to his painting and you think it’s a mistake, it turns out great

Just the sound of that fish inhaling the lure, you knew that was going to a monster!! Another great video!!

Aside from the high quality of your videos and the skill you so obviously possess, you are that rare breed; a completely honest fisherman! One fish in 7 hours is just sometimes how it goes!

Especially when fishing for muskie

I’m impressed with the accuracy of your casts, placing the lure right at the shoreline from all compass points and distances w/o ending up in the vegetation and brush. 👍

Fishing is a lot like flying an airplane, hours and hours of boredom broken up by a few moments of sheer terror. That is a great muskie. I got to go to Canada fishing 4 different times and caught gobs of pike but only 1 muskie and it was 38 inches. One of the highlights of my life.

Muskies that sound like the devil.hmmm...interesting waters your in Matt!😮

Like they say, a Muskie is “the fish of a thousand casts”. That was a beauty of a fish. Sometimes catch just that one fish makes your whole day.😊

You have way more patience than I could ever have. Love the little casting montage... gives you sense of just how hard you were trying. But, what a reward that was when you finally caught that river monster! Thanks for sharing your adventures on the river.... makes me feel better when I can't get out there.

Only kayak KZreadr that when the video starts, you immediately feel like you're in one of those dreams where see everything clearly

I am so jealous! These have become the only fishing recordings I watch anymore. Love his honesty and that he doesn't over narrate.

I used to watch JG's Waters and Woods on Saturday mornings here in the Chicago area religously. This KZread channel has far replaced that for me!! Keep up the great work here Matt. As i'm sure many here live vicariously through you. Again, great job !!

Now that's fishing. Love watching you work the water. Good stuff, Matt.

Yeah buddy! The sound of that fish hitting the lure 👌🏻

Fantastic job! What a beauty of a fish - it's the river's equivalent of a tiger!

Bob Ross of fishing. So calming and well explained

Absolutely fantastic Matt. I'd think most fish would be swimming for their lives when that lure hits the water, all except the river monsters. Sure enjoyed my morning coffee and your exploits with lures that could never work. Happy to see your bashed thumb is healing. Hope you didn't damage your truck door.

What a fish! Worth the effort!

Good Morning!!

Watching that fish explode on that lure made me jump as if I was right there!! Great footage,Matt. Thanks for the video,loved it!!!!

Another stellar video and fantastic editing to keep 7 hours of fishing an enjoyable experience to watch.

First Saturday day off In weeks and I get to wake up the Bob Ross of fishing much love man! Keep it up

Nice muskie. I'm impressed with your creeper lure. I collect them and that's the first one I've seen that has rattles in it. I'm gonna have to add one to my collection.

Awesome! Thanks for showing how difficult it is to catch a musky and also I like that you replayed the violent strike!!!!

LoL! Thanks for including you catching the tree branch. There are times watching these types of videos where it feels like I'm the only one doing that. I need a better Editor for my real world fishing.

Matt, I am a musky diehard, and this is your best depiction of how musky fishing usually goes. Hours, and hours, cast after cast after cast! Then, you got an awesome thrill with a big old toothy critter!!

HARD WORK PAYS OFF,BEAUTIFUL MUSKY GREAT JOB.

Nice!!! The fish of 10000 casts proves why once again......beautiful musky

Just got my first kayak this year and these videos have taught me a lot. This is my favorite fishing channel!

The guy that runs this channel could be a pro fisherman imo. He's definitely spent a lot of time on the water honing his skills. People can learn quite a bit from him by closely watching & listening to him.

Persistence paid off! Nice fish

LETS GET HIM TO 1M!!!!!!

“Howdy everyone!” Anytime a fishing video starts like this you know it’ll be a good one! Especially if they come from Minnesota! Great video as always!!!!

A most enjoyable video. The emotion and suspense to the last moment. That only wonderful musky must have been pure bliss and fortunately the animal didn’t get unhooked and you could get it up on your kayak and gaze its beauty. Mission accomplished and a most satisfactory drive back home recalling that bite and fight. I wish I had had a similar happy final in my last fishing trip on last Friday. I had caught seven bass on a wacky rig with four of them quality fish. Being an unusually hot day the surface of the reservoir was a mirror after sunset. I thought it would be the right moment for the icing on the cake if I could catch my first bass ever on a rat lure. I had a first bite on the rat but no hookset. I walked on along the bank and half an hour later with almost no daylight I had a second bite and this was a brutal one seven meters away from me. A powerful fight started which felt like a fish well over two pounds. I was relishing to have that perfect end to this fishing day trying a new lure but…unfortunately the bass jumped and released itself. Well, that’s fishing!

Great trip. It only takes 1 to make your day. Nice catch! Stay safe.

What an awesome fish. And a nice smallie to boot. Not a bad day at all. Thanks for sharing.

That smallie was pretty ambitious hitting a lure almost as big as he was.

I really enjoy your fishing channel....in fact it's my favorite! Look forward to upcoming videos! Cheers Dave!

Let’s go! Always great when you post! Keep it up!

Woot! Another great vid. Thanks for sharing!

Always awesome videos and beautiful background. Enjoyed your narratives throughout.

7 hours...Worth it!!

I like how you show footage of cast after cast sometimes. It shows how much work and dedication it takes and not every trip limits out in 5 minutes. Not sure if you’ve tried it, but here in Michigan when the salmon start the fall runs can be a blast. They can put up a fight that will give you awesome adrenaline rush

The worst day of fishing beats any good day @ work with 2 exceptions. 1) Winning the office pool lottery & 2) Watching your icehole of a boss get fired! Last days of fishing are the memories that feed dreams until spring

nice fish brother ...keep the good job

Great way to start the day!

WOW! Thanks! Always enjoy your content. Hope to see your Saturday mornings videos all winter.

The fish of a thousand casts. What a beautiful stretch of river. Great day!

Does this guy EVER cast a snag!? His casts are insanely immaculate

The Fish of a thousand casts, or one!😊

My little 3 year old twin girls both asked to "watch a fishing video" with breakfast this morning. So pleased to see your upload! Thank you as always sir

Nice job. Pinpoint casting and perseverance lead to a beautiful Muskie.

That was amazing!!! My heart was pumped just watching. Love the editing on this episode. best fishing channel!

That was insane, love the vids man!

Very very nice. Great day on the river. Well done, both fishing and video production. Thanks 😊

Best 2 fish video I have watched. Thank you for sharing! Love your videos

Nice work! Patience is a pillar of virtue! Your patience paid off handsomely!😊

I could see the flash just before the strike. It's a great feeling. Thanks for the video!

I really enjoy your videos. So many others have all the talk and hype; you just fish. I find it very relaxing to watch, but also inspires me to get out and wet a line once in a while. Thanks for the best fishing videos on YT.

My Saturday is now complete....Thank you, Matt.

Found your channel a week ago. Can't stop wstching.

You literally have the craziest first in North America in your back yard. Jealous is an understatement.

Awesome, Matt! What a strike! Loved it.

Looks like so much fun. This channel is as close as I’ll get to this one experience. So thanks bud for sharing

Love the vids!

I still can see that black spot on your finger, hope it’ll get better 👍

Gee, Matt, I nearly jumped out of my seat when that muskie hit! Nice fish and a great video, thanks Matt!

When he makes swirls the size off a Volkswagen you know he’s a Bigun’!

Fantastic. I watch every second of your videos, never skip ahead.

One of the best ways to start a Saturday 🎣🛶

Thanks for showing, had a load of laundry to fold, thanks to you it’s still unfolded and I don’t care. Keep the videos coming.

Ty for taking us with you! amazing!🙏🏻

Golly!! What a beautiful video. Great catch, boss👍

that gulp when it took your lure was goosebump-inducing

Definitely, that was amazing.

LOVE YOUR VIDS KEEP IT UP!!!

Great video. I wish I had the patience to fish 1 lure for an entire day. I've tried but have always failed. Thanks fur the video.

Hard work pays off bro! That was amazing! What a prehistoric monster! Well done, sir

Absolutely correct! 1 Musky was worth the time and effort. Beautiful fish 🎣!

That was awesome! Nice work Mr.!

That definitely looked like perfect ambush spot 👍👍

Dude, your casting ability is next level. With those banks and that lure? I’d look like I was fishing for squirrels

What a fish!!! The fish of a thousand casts...Musky

great video man. love seeing the determination

Nice one bro! I don't think I could have stuck with it for as long as you did. Just goes to show persistents pays off. Great job

Thats a great way to get the heart pumping. Nice catch.

Nice job sticking with it, what a monster

Man that was awesome!!

Sounds like a dinner bell for sure.

Great video and what a attack of that fish!!!!!

The anticipation was really building during this one! Nice fish & video.

Your catching up! Only 6 months old videos, not 5 years, enjoy them regardless, as a lifetime fisherman, you do a great job! My only regret now, is I never Muskie fished! , but...I was bass fishing on a lake w Muskies, and one hit my spinner, wow! I will never forget that, of course he broke off. But very exciting! I dont think your like Bob Ross....If you ever get up to southern N.Y. try Chautauqua lake for Muskies and big Walleyes...

This one was actually uploaded last fall, within a week of the trip if I remember right. There's good reasons to hold off on uploads though. For one the season is short here and I don't want to just disappear from KZread for half the year. Also a lot of the spots I fish too many people have found. If I get on a hot bite and I want to go back I might hold on to the footage for a few weeks so I don't blow up the spot and have people sitting on every spot I caught fish in the last video I posted.

Not a critic, really do enjoy these videos as I am somewhat disabled now, and cant fish anymore! I do get it...

Love the casting montage at 10:25 .... it hits home how little there biting 😊

Grats man! Loved the footage of that muskie getting vertical to shake the bait. Well done!

What a beast, congrats!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets the shakes on Muskie! 😜

Another awesome video well done

Brilliant video! That strike really made me jump!! Cheers, John.

What a catch brother. Love your vids.

Your aim is amazing!

The Bob Ross of KZread fisherman. Such a relaxing tone of voice throughout - even when he's excited for a big catch.

Dude you’re an artist with yer casting very nicely done sir!! What a BEAST of a fish!!!
