Watching how you handle pike always gives me a confidence boost for handling them. They're such beautiful creatures but man I get a little intimidated by them. You display the balance of healthy respectful distance while still being able to hands on ensure their proper release. So much kudos.

I think he uses nearly all 6' rods. These help with his accuracy where many of us, myself included, go for longer rods for picking up the slack better in the current and for making longer casts in clear water... however, after watching many of his videos, I've begun to rethink how I gear up.

Another awesome 👌 video, just got my whoppler popplers in the mail, will be trying them next weekend.

I think I've watched this video about eight times now. What a day. Thank you.

You're sitting casting skills are top notch... you put that plopper within a foot of the bank every time!

That stretch was very scenic👀 Thanks for taking me along👍Been awhile without a yak in flowing water here, drought conditions, hopefully the remnants of the hurricane last week helped my cause. Even though I've yet to catch a fish on the 90 Whopper Plopper, I'm going to pickup some 75 after watching this, looks like it works better. I'm kinda disappointed in the 90- wish I'd bought 110's instead.

@ndyakangler

5 жыл бұрын

The 75 will replace the 90 as my go to size for smallmouth. Less rolling and line twist and much more consistent and better action from the tail.

I've seen you reel in enough fish that you've sold me on the whopper plopper! Gotta get a few of those!

Love your approach to how you fish. Awesome fun. Makes me me ss living in the very northern Wisconsin

Always enjoy your videos...no gimmicks.

It almost feel like I was on the river with you guys, what a day out on the water...so jelaous its January cold as ice.

The ending was beautiful! Can't wait for summertime

That whopper plopper is a fish killer gotta get me some. That’s a great looking clear river your on you must be up north , great videos

With the Whopper ploppers the action and size definitely is more important than color I only carry three different colors black for dirty water white for cloudy water and clear for clear water. I love them beefy little plopper 75s the sound and vibration they give off make the fish aggressive. Great video as always you sure tare them a new one when you're on the water I enjoy the beautiful scenery and fish that's why I watch every video. Good luck on the water and God bless.

The 19:00 bass is really cool lookin. I love the steam you guys are fishin. I like the clear, pretty water.

Small mouth bass look like such awesome fish.

Great video Matt! Was truly an awesome day - I'll probably never catch more smallmouth in a day than that (still have 2 hours of video to condense)

I'm just starting to learn the River by me, it's got some decent Smallmouth fishing in it too, with some Northerns and occasional muskie. I think next year ours I'll be about the size of what you're catching, or maybe this year. I love seein you releasing them, I do the same, except for walleyes and panfish.

11:57 the song of my people! love when the rods make that noise lol

Great river, grass looks amazing to fish. I can't help wondering what an upstream wade would do versus kayaking. The noise from boats spooks a lot of fish and drifting with a fish on line can push the boat through more fish. Great content. IN Indiana, I mostly wade until cold months.

heck yeah what a day. fishing for blizzard now were talking haha. I just posted my first time taking the WP75 out for largies. and used it last week on the smallies it worked much better in the current than the 90 I think. man waiting for a musky to nail the WP. wish they would make all the colors in all the sizes. the chubby color is my favorite but they only make it in the 130 and 190 I think. keep slaying them and be safe

You only need 3 lures for river fishing. 1) Mepps Black Fury 2) Rapala jointed minnow (silver or northern pike color) 3) clearance bin shallow running rattling squarebill shad crankbait (offwhite with green back). If those 3 don't work you can try an old fasioned silver and blue spoon. If that don't work, there's no fish in the hole.
