  • Finally a fishing video where its not just people shouting for 12 minutes for the intro and this guy starts in the first 30 seconds.

    As an avid Muskie fisherman, I watched this video with my jaw on the floor! Matt, you caught more skis in one outing than some catch in a full season! That is one of those days that will stick in your memory forever. Lucky you had a camera rolling cuz some people might not have believed ya. Excellent video as always.

    Muskie, the fish of 10,000 casts, and Matt gets one on three straight casts. And 8 total. Amazing! Thanks for taking us along! It was awesome.
  • @atuuschaaw
    That spillway fishing trip deserves to be in the Fishing Hall of Fame! Incredible brother! ♥
  • 8 muskies from shore in one day is literally insane. That spillway is magic.
  • It's official, you're THE musky guy. you have literally caught more musky in 1 video than some YouTubers in their whole career without trolling with multiple rods or using dead/live bait.

    I just thought you should know I am a high school biology teacher, and I run a fishing club at my school. We watch a lot of fishing videos and my students really enjoy yours. As a teacher, I appreciate you not swearing, lol. Keep up the good work!
  • You know a channel has top-notch content when you can keep a video like THIS in the hopper for almost a year.
  • @jamesnuti8594
    Thank you Matt! Watching your videos is a real treat. Sorry about the broken lure. You have great manners and a pleasant way of narrating 😊Please keep up the great work!
  • I've commented this several times, but you have the best channel out there. It's so relaxed and real and calm. Exactly what fishing should be. Good job man!!
  • OMG! My father would be so jealous of this. For many years he would go up north and over probably 20 years only caught two. Thanks for allowing us to see this amazing day. P.S. I sent this to my father to watch too! 👍
  • That certainly has to be some kind of record, 8 big muskie landed and one that got off and 3 or 4 nice size pike, AWESOME! What a fantastic day of fishing and you had the entire bank to yourself! Thank you so much Matt for sharing this wonderful adventure with us and keep up the great content!

    Another great video Matt. You caught more Muskies in this video than I’ve seen in life.😂 stay safe.
  • Days like these are truly special! Back in 2006, I went out on an early November day, lake to myself, and I found a small patch of weed line that was still green. The patch was about 150yds long and the muskies were just stacked along those weeds looking to ambush everything! 12 muskies came to my line that day. 12! Like you, I needed someone to pinch me because I knew that this was "impossible" and nearly unbelievable. I did not end my day with a broken lure, thankfully, but I witnessed one of the most breathtaking sunsets of my lifetime as a bonus! I have never had a day like that since. I've gone out on similar days with similar conditions, but the best I've been able to do under those efforts of duplication is 3. You had an amazing day there, no doubt! Hope you have another real soon! Snow is being stubborn, but spring is working its way north!
  • Great movie. No advertisement. No Bla Bla. Just descent fishing 👍greetz from Germany
  • I wanna take a moment to thank you for your content. We watch you as a family. My kids will say, daddy let’s watch the fishing Bob Ross. We don’t have to worry about vulgarity or anything. Thank you man.
  • That is insane man! Catching 8 musky in one spot in one session is epic!! Worth the sacrifice for sure!
  • @jared7800
    Been following for years. Always a must watch. That many Muskees in one day is incredible.
  • ~ Bruh, tysm!! I was having the hardest time remembering a song title of a song I loved from years ago, I'd been searching for it for several months, then I read your video title and it instantly "clicked", the song is Spillways by Ghost. 😅 ~ And OMG, the teeth on those fish. My step dad was bitten by one once while we were out fishing, he was trying to remove the hook when it got him, and his hand was so bloodied. I was only 8 yrs old at the time and I was the one who caught the monster. Image reeling in a fish to the dock at night and seeing that thing emerge. LoL, I'd never seen anything like that before, so I was terrified of it and didn't wanna fish anymore after that. So, my dad said that I could help with the crab traps. 🤣

    This has got to be the greatest fishing spot in the world. To land that many sizable Muskie bank fishing from one spot is insane. Cool video
