  1. Do you honestly think a bass looks at this and thinks it's a chicken? Bass are reactive. They'll strike at a topwater that looks like a turd if you work it right. Good grief

  2. My buddies and I are planning to fish around that area too. Is there anything we need to know or use? I’m still new to fishing just bought my first setup Labor Day sale from joes, so any pointers would
    Help. 🙏🙏❤️

  3. You need to drain that thumb. Heat up a paper clip with a match, melt the thumbnail and release the pressure. You’ll feel much better.
    Awesome fishing show. My favorite place for fishing action.
    Thanks.

  4. Great vid! I wanted to thank you, i just returned from a fishing trip in Ontario Canada and caught another massive trophy Muskie on my yak. Last time it was a whopper plopper thanks to your vids. This time it was a topwater frog using your tips on widening the hooks and trimming the legs. Frog fishing has become very successful for me! Your videos have provided great advice! Thanks again!

  5. Well it seemed like you had a successful day come some really nice smallies. Man those fish they explode on the water as I have been told a bad day at fishing is still better than a good day at work but a good day at fishing is still better than a good day at work

  6. That looks like one of those cheap bargain bin lures that I fall for every so often and never catch much of anything on them, but that one worked really well for you!! Really enjoy your videos!!

  7. Great day! It’s amazing how you threw up into that corner once, twice and on the third cast-blow up. So cool to see. That river is the perfect set for your videos. The landscape is gorgeous, water’s clear and there’s tons of structure. Very fun to watch!

  8. If I had ever showed up with a "Fishin Chicken" in my tackle box back in the day, my fishing buddies would have laughed me out of the boat! But you've shown us that presentation and technique trump traditionalism almost every time. Next time I get to go out I'm gonna try the most outlandish lure I can find, just to see if watching your videos has improved my stuff. I know it has, and I thank you for this little bit of calm excellence that I look forward to every week!

  9. Matt, another wonderful trip with you on a beautiful river as you land some really nice smallies on "The Fishin' Chicken". It just doesn't get any better than that! Anxiously awaiting your next video, take care and be safe!
