Mississippi River Winter Smallies

It's mid February and I decide to hit the Mississippi River to chase some smallies one more time before bass season closes in Minnesota.

This is singularly the best kayak angler show on YouTube ever.
And by far, anywhere in any kind of media I've ever seen.
I've been watching fishing shows all my life as an avid angler.
Thanks!!

YES HE RETURNS. You are my absolute favorite kayak angler!! Hoping for TONS of vids in these spring and summer months!

7 Minutes and 44 Seconds worth of fishing...& NO STINKIN' COMMERCIALS! I love Great fishing, and haulin' in the Smallies, when other so-called "Fishermen" would rather be home, where it's nice and warm. You definitely have my respect,

Oh yeah! Congrats, Matt! This is the channel I really get happy when the notification pops up!

Best Smallie fisherman on YouTube, hands down! Keep on treating the fish as well as you do; it is fantastic to see someone not tire the fish out, use a net, release the hook quickly using tools (if necessary) that are near by, and soon after return the fish to the habitat! And, you have consistently caught nice northern fish!

[paulmanzone]

Your a true inspiration, make me want to fish all the time because of your videos

[davidmann]

Man you make winter fishing look like prime time autumn fishing. Nice work.

Nice video. Love the snowy scene. Kinda cozy looking actually. Nothing like being dressed for it. Gorgeous smallies too.

A pleasant surprise to see a new video from you this time of year, I figured everything up your way would be froze solid. I hate to rub it in but we went walleye fishing here in east Tennessee last Friday and it was 82 degrees, even on the warm side for us this time of year. Watching your video make me feel like a wimp for only taking the bass boat out this time of year, need to break the kayak out. The wife bought a new Vibe Sea Ghost and she's wanting to try it out so maybe this coming weekend. Thanks for another great video!

I can’t get enough of your videos, solid fishing with that jig, cheers from south Florida

[stephanienida]

Love to watch your video. Learn a lot fishing from you

[touchpro]

Hard to believe that he can do the everything by himself - paddle, video, and master fishing all by himself - remarkable.

[paulsacher]

He can catch fish, large smallmouth bass in his bathtub been following him for two years and am very impressed by his fishing knowledge gotten obviously by the great bass waters he fishes, my first whopper plopper was because of his vids, very effective here in so Florida, haven't gotten a kayak yet but I'm looking ..very entertaining informative YouTube videos, He's the very best !!! I rehabilitated a knee replacement watching his vids ....keep em coming ...

When I'm fishing winter - I think its a little warmer than Mid February in your neck of the woods. Another very good no frills yak fishing vid - keep it up

[WI_angler]

Heck of a way to send off the season, man! One of my main goals with getting a kayak is to be able to find fish in cold water. The main river I fish has a LOT of fast water and inaccessible shorelines. It makes it hard to find wintering holes from the bank and the current makes it sketchy to take my Old Town canoe out alone. I've never been able to find fish before the spring.

[Stevenhy]

I love jigs for smallies. So effective. Great job! Can't wait to go catch some off my kayak this spring.

[timothymcnees]

Dude I just stumbled on to your channel. Now I have a lot of footage to check out. Absolutely Digging it!!!!

[YAKMANONT]

[josephdans]
