In 70-some years of fishing the St Lawrence I've never caught a musky, and here I watch you just stack them up one after another! Thanks again for another great video, Matt! I really look forward to your weekly updates. I'm now 82, and unable to get out very often, so your adventures keep me going. Bless you my friend, and happy fishing!

Say what you want. You can study, purchase all the right lures, fish them as close as you can to the "right way, " but there are some people that just have that God given gift to be able to catch fish! Matt is one of them. Blessings my friend. Don't ever take that for "granted." I feel for the commenter who is in his 80's and still hasn't ever caught a Muskie out of the St. Lawrence. I've never caught one either, but I fish from the shore in NC. Don't exactly have that opportunity. At 72 it's getting tougher each year. Not as nimble as I was in my 30's and 40's. Right now I'm just having a blast ultra lite fishing from the bank for Bluegill, Crappie, and small bass. Even caught a 5 lb. bass while bluegill fishing one day! That was epic! 4 lb. line and about a 5 minute fight. Had to beach her to be able to pick her up. At 71 years of age and very overweight, bending down to pick her up was a chore. ..but I do have pics!!!

Nothing is more satisfying in this world than taking a buddy fishing and fishing behind them and schooling them.😂

I never imagined a Muskie hitting a whacky worm. Matt, you are the sensei of kayak fishing.

[ifishoften]

Yamamoto senkos are my favorite river smallmouth bait. Who would believe they would also catch muskies. Matt is pushing boundaries and showing us how to catch more fish. Thanks!!

[essneaks]

This video is as wholesome as you can get . Just a man and his buddy catching fish. It doesn't get any better than that!

Double on Muskegon has to be one of rarest occurrences on fresh water. Congrats!

My best friend passed away a few weals ago in a horrible car accident. He was my fishing buddy, me and him loved senko fishing. He specifically was good with the wacky rig. I remember asking him out of frustration one time when we were out on the water if he could teach me how to fish one effectively. I’ll never forget, who he was and what I learned from him and what he learned from me. Fly high little brother, one day we will meet again. ❤😢

Sick video, Matt. Shout out to Jacob, too, for that beast of a musky and all the great service and tackle I've purchased from his shop!

[philipstephan]

Nothing like fishing with a buddy and having the fish biting as well. So glad you purchased a decent dip net, now every time you have a colossal fish on your line I wont have hold my breath quite so hard. Thanks for the video and taking us along. Stay safe. Blessings, cheers.😊

Great fishing and even better with a friend as well! Thanks for taking us along! See you next adventure!

"Hopefully you saw my rod twitch" One of my one-liners that didn't go ever to well🤣Seriously nice fish and nice video!

[chrisjohansson]

I've been watching this guy for a month or so...love seeing the techniques, use of different baits, different locations, different species and learn something new each time. Please keep em coming!

Musky. The fish of ten thousand casts *


*Unless you're Matt

[teegreen]

Chin up Jacob! Pretty sure any of us would be in the same boat with the “are you kidding me??”watching this guy boat fish after fish. He’s just that good! Another banger Matt!

Hey Matt, funny story for you. Way back in the day (1989-93) my buddies and I would go fish on the Toronto Islands right around ice out, mid-march to early April. Big pike, lakers and the occasional 'bow would be hanging around the various canals. We primarily used spoons (Wablers, lil cleos, 5 of diamonds, red devils etc etc.) When it was slow, we'd try other rigs too. One of those other rigs was Texas rig or carolina rigs with 6" Berkeley power worms and you know what? We caught some massive pike with them! I was shocked they worked so well and everyone i've told didn"t believe me at was all i could think about while watching this video. Lesson learned is that a slow steady presentation right in front of their noses works like a charm! Keep on keepin on dude!

Props to Jacob for standing up on cold water.
