I never realised how dangerous it was to be a duckling on a nice summer's day.

Pike: "Why is this duckling so dam strong?!"

I love this channel. Straight up fishing. No dude talking into his camera for 30 minutes and 5 min of fishing.

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ukposts.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

who clicks dislike on such a clip? He catches a lot of fish, treats the pikes very gently and release almost immediately. Pro Job!

He caught more in five minutes than I have in the last 2 years

have not gone pike fishing here in Ireland in over 20 years ,will be going in the next few weeks just realised how much i miss it,,, thanks for making an old man feel young again 👍

I love how peaceful this video is… With the only intensity coming in from nice catches.

i really am not kidding when i say i think you are the best fishing youtuber on the platform right now. theres no fake hype, no begging for likes, just fishing, beautiful fishing, it feels like i’m out there with you on the water matt. thank you. (edit) thanks for all the likes guys! glad you feel the same i do, i love this channel!

This dude can nearly miss the catch of a lifetime and keep sounding like bob ross at the spa

Those are some nice Pike, back in the late '90s early 2000s. I used to have my own fishing lure company making spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, jigs and hair jigs. My friend and fellow lure maker was making hand carved bird lures for giant fish like the pike you were catching. He had them in Cabela's for a short time.

the intro with the pike was amazing the most satisfying thing that could happen in fishing

4:00 // He sounds like he was describing a super car when he was describing his fishing pole hahaha

No music and no overreacting - Love it! That's exactly what I'm trying to mimic on my channel!

This man's videos are great, feel like I'm out there fishing with him lol. Keep up the great videos and good luck

UKposts fishing channels are better than any cable television today. Change My Mind.

When I was little kid I used to go fishing in the area around my house. I live in The Netherlands, so there is a lot of canals around to fish. I used to watch the ducklings got picked of one by one during the ducks nesting season by big pike and remember being really impressed (for obvious reasons as anyone can see in your video). This is the first time I see someone fishing with a duck lure though, just awesome. Beautiful fish and enjoyed your video very much. The way you handle your gear and the animals is great, with skill and respect that is. Always nice to see a pro at work.

*you have discovered the location of a LEGENDARY fish*

Love how he includes his shoes in description. Dude is dedicated love it. Very useful to put your gear in description thx dude

In Manitoba some people FLY fish for Pike. (We generally call them Jackfish or Jacks) Once hooked they'll jump out of the water like a Marlin!

Just a man chilling, catching some some fish and living his best life. UKposts honestly needs more content like this. Kudos to you man, you deserve every catch you get.

best fishing clip ive seen in a while that was sick

Wow, there is nothing like top water fishing, I recently got a top water bat and I'm super excited to use it this summer.

Next level vid ! Great fishing and yak skills and easy listening tech tips. From Western Australia so pike aren't on the list but have for decades watched US outdoors/fishing shows and mags and have always loved the character of a pike. Hard to beat surface hits like that ! I bet that duck lure would work on our barramundi !😎👍

My wife and I watch your videos often, she calls you the Bob Ross of fishing! We love it! 😄

“That’s a good sign!” The Bob Ross of fishing is at it again!

As I sit at my desk, watch it rain and watch your videos I can’t help but feel a wee bit jealous. 😂

Its really cool that you dont show only the casts where you catch and tangles here and there and fish that get away, the first one was awesome reminded me of an adult barracuda that breached a few feet then spat my hook out deep sea fishing in florida👌 lifetime memory

You know you’re a fisherman when the sound of that backlash at 1:58 gives you slight anxiety

Plot twist: There's only one pike in the river, who's a paid actor.

OMG. I grew up on pike with my dad and uncle but with live 12" chubs in a slow muddy deep creek no more than 15 wide. They would catch 10-12 a day! This is incredible. I want to be there and do this!!!

Some beautiful catches! Major respect to how well you treat whatever you catch.

Sir, I never would have believed that topwater bright yellow-colored "duck" lure would catch anything. It looked more like a child's toy than a fishing lure. To see those three monster pikes go after that duck was a sight to behold! Thank you so much for this video. Your fishing trip was rewarded and so were we, the viewers. Thanks again!

There is few feelings in the world better than seeing something huge trailing your bait and just chomping it. Edit: my duck lure came in today, I cant wait to catch some pike

WOW is right! Watching you try these new lures is so fun. I have never experienced the quality of fish that you are netting. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed carp fishing for over a 3 decades, but i have to say...nothing beats seeing a predator going for that lure. Makes me want to go out fishing right this moment.

I like that you only have to wait 2 minutes for the pay off from the intro whereas other videos would make you wait until the final 30 seconds.

This just shows to go how many likes you can get without promoting and begging for likes. Honestly your the most underrated UKposts fisherman. Honestly you gotta be my favorite now

Probably the best intro of all time. I remember that exact thing happened but with a frog and man.. your heart gets pumpin quick

I gotta say it: this person's casting is gorgeous, every flick feels so clean and natural **chef's kiss**

“That was friggin’ crazy” 😳 You’re not kidding, that was crazy! Fantastic video yet again - 11 minutes of fishing nirvana 👍

This dude is so calm when he's catching a monster fish I love it that your so calm!

Tip based on me watching your teqnique, when you have that far a cast flip your line hard left and right to make a quarter of the famous figure 8 and you should catch even more big fish. Congrats on your massive catch though!

My wife and I were wowed by this duckling/pike video. We had to buy one. I hope you are getting a kick-back on the sales. You certainly gave a good demonstration of the baits abilities to catch monster pike! 🙂

I have never heard a man remain so quiet and calm catching a monster pike at the boat. !I'd be hooting and sreaming like a school girl!

Duck: this looks like a good area for the ducklings *sees fake duckling get massacred by a monster pike* Duck: yeah... never mind

I love coming back to this video even 2 years later, just awesome fish with great hook ups. Super fun to watch.

bro this guy slayed. each one got bigger and he’s not an annoying a** commentator like most fishing you tubers. 10/10

That fish is probably thinking “how is this duckling so strong”

This is the best fishing video I’ve ever seen on UKposts. As a kayaker, as a muskie & pike fisherman, as a fish lover this video is the day I dream of while I’m out on the river.

This videos are so relaxing and calm, thank you brother for this videos. I suffer from Anxiety at my 40s and videos like this help a lot.

I used to live in Houma, Louisiana. ...across from a small bayou and cane field. Laid my rod & Zebco 404 reel down on the bank to climb a sketchy treehouse we had built. Mr. Whiskers came along and took my gear down the bayou with him. Ha. On other outing I caught his brother and put in the bathtub before he died. 50 years later I can still hear her scream. :)

Pike was like, "Damn, caught on the same bait three times,"

NDYakAngler: oh, there’s a Pike. Me: Exploding Prehistoric Alligator just raged on that duck carcass!!

This is the video that got me to start following your channel and since then it has not disappointed by any means!!!!

This dude has that one voice that makes you so relaxed 😌

I cant even understand how this guy catches and records some of the most amazing topwater fishing strikes u will ever dream about!! The content on this channel, even dating back to 6+ years ago is the best on youtube, its in its own category. Nothing comes close!

Dude I'd lose my shit after the first one..incredible footage

Such a pleasure to watch you fish!!! Those pike are amazing! You ever come to Indiana, I'll pay for your lodging to go fish the white river for smallies with you, food and paint one me, smallies on you 💪

Catch a release at its finest. With a good-sized fish, you really only need one to feed an entire family. Thanks for bringing us along.

You have to applaud the overall skill on display here. Not only is he a tremendously fluid and accurate caster with every lure type I've seen him use, but his hook-set reaction is snappy, his demeanor calm, and his fish-fighting skill on point, but he ALSO quite often has to adjust the kayak's direction mid-fight. This is not an easy thing to do. It requires coordination, focus and dexterity. Check it out at 7:35. Great cast, hook set, and fight. The size/power of the fish easily pulls him down stream toward hanging tree branches. He has to keep the fish pinned and maneuver the yak out of the tree path which usually means trapping one side of the paddle under the rod arm while changing direction with the other. This is not the only video where this happens, and occasionally you'll seem him back paddle because the momentum is working against him. A lot of talent on display here 👏🏻. My favorite yak angler on YT. Bravo.

Five little ducks went out one day over the hill and Far Away mother duck said quack quack quack while the pike enjoyed a little duck snack

This is one of those we’re gonna need a bigger boat moments with the way the fish were hitting that duck lol

I'm so happy about youtubes "New to you" feature. I wouldve never stumbled upon this corner of youtube, this was so relaxing

Me: Holy shit that’s a giant pike! NDYakAnger: *soft dad voice "Geez look at the size of that pike.."

this man is shaking from those sick adrenilin moments

I never understood ASMR. Now I think I do, this guys voice, background noise is what makes this the most relaxing channel

YT recommended me this. Super cool. Seems like a really enjoyable way to spend the day, thanks for sharing with us!

Omg I finally found a fishing UKposts channel that has a host that doesn’t seem very over excited

2:11 - legendary coming up from the deep from nowhere and follows duck intense. Epic!

One of my favorite videos! I love how you can see the pike in the water. Captures the whole battle!

Nice video. The location reminds me of the backwater off of a big lake in Maine that I used to fish with my Dad many years ago. Dad’s been gone for about 30 years now, but those were times indelibly etched in my memory. We mostly get the pike’s little cousin, pickerels around here, but that backwater used to turn up some giant largemouth. I have fished in the boundary waters in Minnesota with my brother in law, mostly looking for walleye, but we would hook into a big northern up ‘dere sometimes. The walleyes are better eating.

Wow...thanks for this. Had a great time watching this. Brought back wonderful memories as a kid trolling on the St. Lawrence shores southwest of Montreal. Caught a real fighter in a 12 pound pike. My kid brother caught a 55 pound muskie. It was near as big as him standing on its tail and he's 6'1".

I could watch this all day long.... those were some awesome catches 👏

i was out for a quick session of 1 hour of fishing today. ended up slaying six pikes in one hour. two of them " beasts! " i allways wonderd how it would feel like to get the kind of action, that you showcase in these videos! and today. was my lucky day :) cheers!

My friend im Chris in the UK, i love this clip so much and watch it many times, when i win the Lottery im coming to see you and buy you a Steak dinner. Chris.

That pike at the boat footage is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Dude Nice work.

"He's not happy." Because it's the fourth time he fell for that lure...

When I was young, our family used to go to Northern Alberta for holidays and do some Pike fishing. Those mini gators were so aggressive, we would find the oddest and craziest lures just to see the results, the pike would hit anything that moved, :)

This is what keeps me watching a fishing video, what an intro! Fantastic channel!

Love the pristine scenery, amazing setting for such epic fishing

When I go fishing and my rod starts to bend it usually just a weed

I can scarcely remember the last time a single video so thoroughly earned a subscription from me! Great stuff man!

That intro made my year. I used to go pike fishing with my dad in winter and used to see this all the time, after my fishy not a duckling. lol I kind of miss it, my dad is dead as that duck now. That was just awesome to see

Can we take a second to appreciate how good he casts. He makes it look so easy lobbing that thing so far. Also, this video is so deserving of 10mil views. Super good quality video

Pike: Rubber ducky I am awfully fond of you!

This looks like the absolute best day ever. Calm water. Weather looks good. By yourself fishing. And catching big fish. What else is better?

This is an older video. I've watched a few of them now, and this one was awesome. Keep it up.

S L O W C L A P! I've seen some great fishing footage in my day but this is in a league of its own. The calm professional execution, the quality of the footage, how well you know your way around a fishing rod, and a pike. I can't say enough about this video! Bravo son, well done. Well done!

I will never forget growing up on a farm with 2 large ponds, every year the ducks and geese would return. I would take care of the little baby ducks and geese, feeding them bread and clearing debris for them to waddle along the shore more easily. The sad part is, every single time the mother geese and ducks would take them out over the open water, I would watch as 1,2,3 ducklings would get gobbled up by the over abundant turtles in the pond, one day was so bad that the mother duck didn't have any left... It was a harrowing lesson to learn at a young age. I ended up telling my uncle and aunt about what I witnessed. They knew about the turtles and got me a pellet gun to cull them with. Fricken snapping turtles.

That is some of the best pike fishing I've seen on YT. I use wire traces in UK - dark coloured but I've never used fluoro carbon leaders but always braide main line, usually 20 to 40lb BS. Brilliant video. Thanks. You netted them so quick as well - I've had small ones fight like hell on UK rivers and you think they're beat and slip the hook at the net. Maybe I need to improve my netting but I like to fully play a fish out but also get it back in the water quick too, as you did. Well done.

Great channel. I love pike fishing. That is an amazing fish, and unbelievable footage. I never leave my gopro at home, never know when youll get a fish like that.

Brings back memories, man. Good fishin!!!! Rod and reel seem like a good combo, bait casters rock!!

That water splashing sound is so nostalgic. Ty for sharing my friend. Great video

Nothing better than hearing that knot up in the middle of a cast lol

Best video on you tube,no drivng gettin bait just plain fishing and no bad music

WE ALL KNOW these vids are waaaay too E-P-I-C for this guy to keep working a day job 👏👏👏

It’s crazy how many comments say this is best fishing channel on UKposts . Totally agree. I don’t know why he doesn’t have 10 times as many subs

The lures you use are impressive how kool are they watching the Pike chase it on the surface is just awesome!

Wow! Exhilarating but a bit scary even when the pike snatches the lure SO close to your kayak!🥶🤣
