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

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

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

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.

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!

"that's the one i was lookin for, you guys" in slow-mo was hilarious.

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.😊

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. 👍

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.

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

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!!

I used to watch JG's Waters and Woods on Saturday mornings here in the Chicago area religously. This Youtube 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 !!

[SiTengoTiempo]

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

[hbrianunderwood]

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

[ronmixson]

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!!!!

Bob Ross of fishing. So calming and well explained

[mikest]

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

[thelonesomefisherman]

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.

[bobbyswain]

Nice!!! The fish of 10000 casts proves why once musky
