Fishing with a crazy frog lure! I hit the river on this trip for some topwater smallie action, let’s see what we can catch with Freddy the frog!
Lure: Westin Freddy The Frog
Rod: St Croix Bass X 6’6″ MH F https://amzn.to/3zdzqxu
Reel: Daiwa Zillion SV TW G https://amzn.to/4bQwyp0
Line: Daiwa Grand X8 30lb https://amzn.to/3VpLpjh
Pliers: Umpqua Rivergrip https://amzn.to/3KAYscy
Anchor: Power Pole Micro Anchor https://amzn.to/4c3BGX0
Come up to the St.Lawrence river and catch smallmouth bass in northeast NY like the bass masters elite tournament. 6-7 lb bronzebacks in 40 foot of water with a nasty current. Challenging to say the least lol
You said Hit it like you mean it! That first one hammered it.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BassMang! ! ! ! !

you must be using polarized lenses cause i went frame by frame an i didnt see a wake or anything from this bass as he smashed your lure..
your lure was there then a big mouth was where your lure used to be lol… that water is so dam murky it is as bad as the RED River whish flows through my city of Wienerpeg
this was awesome..
Matt, i gotta ask, have you ever thought about streaming a complete kayak sesh live??? i know your thinkin on data right … well, if you got yourself one of these
than you wouldnt have to worry about Data and it works in rural locations jus as good as it does in a city setting..
its called a Ryoko portable wifi modem.. maybe try giving it a peek an up your YT page to the next level ..
anyhooooo, its jus an idea…
see ya on the next one bro an stay safe out there…
buh bye from Central Canada

what kind of kayak do you use
Wow! Ready Freddy was finer than frog hair!!
Should make a video using the “tg grenade drop-shot”
Another great video. I'm down here in Australia watching with my 5 year old grandson. He loves shouting, "Get in the net!"
Great video. Also did anybody else see the bug crawl across the camera.
Man u always kill it
Love the fishing and I love your relaxing voice and water noises!

Fun was had.
Another great video
. Wish we had rivers like that in northwest Georgia!
I have had zero luck with topwater so far this year
You're doing fishing better than I am. It's been tough around here in South Jersey.
Fantastic video Matt thank you



I'd like to get me one of these baits.. i went to the westin website but no joy… but yea i saw some on Greedbay.
Freddie the frog is a must….good video
Love your videos, they make me want to go fishing again soon. For now though, would you consider upgrading the GoPro so we can watch you fish in 4K?
Heck of a smallie sesh
Great strike footage too. Quality vid. Cheers
Letting it sit while u pay attention to something else then start and switch the direction
you always get em like that
Just a thought. Try waiting about 2 seconds to start reeling in. Bass love to investigate an object that just fell on top of the water. Some people throw it in and start reeling in and the fish don’t care about it anymore, cause it’s “out of sight, out of mind” . The fisherman just pulled their dinner cart away too soon, now they don’t care anymore. I had both Largemouth and Smallies in my fish tanks and this is how they did things. Don’t forget, when you throw something on the top of the water, they look, then they need to swim up and investigate. They are much like dogs.
westin is a Danish company, probably designed with pike in mind. ive seen them for sale here in Norway 20-22$ a piece and shipping to the states is stiff sadly
What kayak do you use?
Sweet thous small mouth are happening bro.
Where do you usually fish at ?
Great video stay safe out there
Fabulous Trip, Many Thanks!
Does anyone know what net he uses? Im looking for one for my kayak that the handle isnt too long
Can’t find the Freddy the frog
Where did you buy the lure sir?
I hate the wind. It always blows in southwest Oklahoma. Always.
Totally enjoy you're a professional videos very enjoyable
I am old enough to remember Freddie the Freeloader – Red Skelton. LOL – Nice Fishing my friend!
I found the frog for sale at Rugged Tackle – you can find it online. It was sold out everywhere else I looked.
Great bass but I was hoping so see some turtles.
Incredible catches! May have to purchase a Freddy
