Swimbait Fishing Ferocious River Beasts!

It's a perfect fall day for some kayak fishing, let's hit the river and see if we can catch some pike and muskie! On this trip I'm fishing a swimbait that was made by a friend from Poland!

Thanks Michał Birecki for letting me try your perch swimbait!

Gear used on this trip:

Net: Ozark Trail brand from Walmart

A guy from Poland carves an incredible lure and generously sends it to a guy who immediately catches some terrific pike and musky in South Dakota. I love it.

You know it’s a cool catch when Matt breaks out the “That was sick!”

[abbanon]

The smooth voice, the laid-back atmosphere.
You're like the Bob Ross of the river.

Matt: “I’ll give you a look at this lure’s action” *Immediately catches pike.

Me: *tying on 10th lure of the day “Maybe they’ll like this one…”
Also me: “Nope!”

You do an extremely good job at putting out very well made videos. You don't waste any of the viewer's time. Just good, wholesome content. You are a gifted fisherman.

Dude catches a fish while testing the action? Get outta town man. Did you ever know that you're me hero! Wind beneath my wings Matt

Imagine how proud that lure maker must be seeing his bait catch fish on here. So cool! Gorgeous craftsmanship on that swimbait.

Amazing craftsmanship on that Polish Perch -- the design, the color, the carving, the hardware -- made by a real master! +1 Like

I was born in Poland, raised in Canada, I became a successful bass tournament angler, my 1st tournament bass was caught on a Polish made sculpin imitation, very nice looking perch , you knew it would work before you even tried it 👍🙏

That happened to me years ago. I was home on leave from the Navy and my Dad bought me a new rod and reel. We were at a rented cottage on Black Lake in New York. It was almost dark and I went down to the dock and tied on a jitterbug lure. Dragged it through the water once to see its action and a nice pike hit it. 1967. I love these videos. No nonsense and all action. Thank you for not making us sit through a half hour of you driving to your fishing spot and another half hour launching your kayak.

This is the type of content I like to straight to the point and action. Very well explained and simple. A+++ on my end and keep up the GOOD WORK and VIDEOS. As I told Chad Hoover a little while ago you are the BOB ROSS of fishing. All the way from Florida \O/

Thank You mr. Matt for taking me with you again. Always a beautiful trip on the water wherever you are. The Polish Perch turned out to be a great lure and it’s a blessing that you have friends around the world who make lures and send them to you and you test them with us getting to see first hand how well they work. Please keep sending us all your great works, I watch some episodes over a few times because they are terrific! Can you tell that I’m a big fan?

When it’s too cold outside to go fishing, watch your videos is the next best thing

[rmharing]

Great lure Michael. And in hands of a great fisherman showing his appreciaton. Well done!

[llunker]

How cool is this kind of fishing?! Love your videos, feels like I'm almost there. Hope for many many more.
