Can't wait to get back out there! Idk how you manage to get such good footage on one battery life and your setup.
Let's get diving again soon man! Us poor grad students gotta make due with the GoPro my brother found in the river and all our makeshift gear! Thanks for saving the day with that awesome sashimi platter man! I really did intend to cook up a feast for ya'll that day, but we had such a good time in the water we ended up leaving Mendo 2 hrs late for mothers day even without the "cooking!" Next time man... I have a feast in mind I want to make for ya'll!
yeah that was good footage. multi angles always enhanced the viewing pleasure. also comes from experience. you will get there.
You guys are awesome
love watching your channel brother
"Knife is Life" Got'Em!
Gorgeous food and scenery
I’ve lived in Nor Cal for over 40 years and you have done way more than I ever have in the outdoors. Thanks for making these videos, I’m hooked!
Thanks for the support! Glad you are enjoying our shenanigans!
Another great super chill video. One of the few channel combos I look forward. A++++
Thanks!
Good stuff! Keep it coming!
Thanks!
mmmmmm mmmmmm fresh scallops! What a treat fella's!
They sure were!
Living in central California, I am blessed that I can hop in my car and be on the coast in just a few hours. You’ve inspired me to take the short drive over there tomorrow. And my complements on your beer choices. Lagunitas Maximus is one of my go to favorites!
Have fun out there Jason!
Great underwater video! Weather is finally giving us a break here in WY. Snow then heavy rains have messed up the fishing and postponed the mushrooms, but good weather is on the way!
Beautiful!
Great Vid mate.. good combo you two doing stuff together, sub'd to all four of you (fishermans life/fishing chef etc) always a healthy watch and leaves me raiding the fridge late then fish counter shopping the next day..simple as!
I always had to hold my breath every time you and Taku dove.
Awesome video! Wish I can visit the beaches and try searching for my own food there. I miss living in California.
Nice! Maybe I will do a one-breath (unedited) catch and cook vid soon... well, the catch will be one unedited breath-hold, but I intend to breathe the whole time while cooking ;) Thanks for the inspiration!
Whoa, so cool! We have those local foraging "classes", working together with local restaurants and food/veggie providers. Once everything is gathered, the chefs make a very nice dish of the foraged foods and what is provided from other local resources. It sustains the local economy, should be done more often :D
keep the old ways alive yay
Love the collab you guys do! Keep it up, These videos inspire me to get out and learn.
Love hearing that Daniel!
I love this. I’ve seen both your vids, and it just reaffirms that we can all get along, and reminds me that there are so many cool people out there!
Right on!
So awesome. I cant dive right now. Keep diving for those of us who cant make it right now! :)
We will do our best! Thanks for watching!
Great calab guys! Cheers!
Taku is king of presentation. Just found yours and his channels today. Awesome vids and love the foraging.
Thanks for tuning in!
Great video Kev!
Thanks bro! Can't wait to dive with you again!
Another awesome video!
Thanks! Always a pleasure being in the water,!
Catch N Cook California I’m definitely going to try it when I move to Florida
Oh Yeah! There you go. Go get em scallops!!
You're killing me. Those scallops look amazing. Wow!
Thanks! They were great!
Will you be running a class in the near future? Would love to learn more.
I'm so glad I followed through taku's link to your channel. I've been watching a lot of them right before I go to bed to wind down and relax. I love all the angles you include during your time underwater, it really shows us the current of the water and what it's like down there.
I subscribed, can't wait for more adventures.
I watched for the foraging, stayed because of your personality. you and your gf make such a good duo too! Great and genuine content.
It's now my goal to one day visit those coasts to forage and cook my own meal. cheers!
Thanks for the kind words and the support! You will love this coast!
Your Videos are always a Pleasure, Love the colabs !
Hedonist that I am, I would’ve loved to have been there for the entire event, the foraging/snorkeling, and the eating! Not to mention a good choice of beverages on your parts! My only addition would’ve been some wasabi and gari!
Very cool I appreciate the work you put into the videos and always look forward to the next one my friend you guys take care
Thanks Chris!
Taku sent me. Enjoying the content! Keep it up y'all! "Knife is Life"
I'm digging the GTA 5 background heist music
Awesome diving & cooking ,that's how spongebob looks in real life haha wow never would of thought he looked like that.
When I heard about that show for the first time I was like "Wait... he's a sea sponge? Then why is he square?" lol
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 lmao right .
You guys should have gotten more Scallops, looks very tasty!
10 is the limit per day. They were fantastic!
So cool!
You gotta come along next time bro!
found this channel from outdoorcheflife and fishermanslife.. loving your stuff content kevin!! im really feeling your positive energy and we gotta stop jerks from throwing golf balls and glass bottles in our oceans!
Thanks for checking out our channel! 100% agreed!
saw your other video, diane went to uc davis? go aggies!
thats wild thats my old coworker! haha
When I was a kid in Hawaii we lived on Portlock Road which was a road with a lot of houses right on the ocean, and a local radio personality who called himself "J. Akuhead Pupule", known to everyone as Aku, used to drive golf balls into the ocean. We kids used to find them and being kids, we'd cut them open and use the centers as little bouncy balls. We eventually learned Aku would pay us for them, so we made a little pocket money before some bigger kids muscled in on the business.
Great video👍
Thanks!
You’re a cool dude! Glad I came across your videos.
Thanks! And glad you found us too!
I just found this channel and I really like it. Great material and content. I am surprise to know that the great outdoor chef is on here as well. Subscribed
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying our channel!
i see a lot of free divers at pebble beach. water is usually calm there as well.
Great video!
Cloud you do another video on how to make those pancakes, from start to finish?!
They look awesome and I don't want to die trying to make them... Lol.
Lol, sure thing. Were were a little more rushed and with everything I wanted to pack into this vid, there was no time this time. We would be happy to do a short one on that. How about on instagram?
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Yeah! That would be cool. Thank you!
This is Awesome. Really shows how tall you are though lol
Great content my man!
Question, what's the best way for someone to go about learning how to dive in Ca? Im in San Francisco and would love to learn!
Thanks for watching. I think there is a dive shop near there called Bamboo Reef that does intro freedive classes. Not sure about prices though. My brother and I will also be releasing a beginning freediving and spearfishing series soon as well, but these will be more concentrated on how to catch n cook, and how to apply basic diving skills to improve your undersea hunting.
@Catch N Cook California.. Hey Kevin,, you do any diving farther North i.e Trinidad, Humboldt? .. Any idea if the kelp might be fairing better up there??
Not much better from what we'vs seen up there... sorry to say.
..@@catchncookcalifornia1574..Dude,, I cant even believe these days are upon us... I look at my old abalone shells collected form years past and im just heart broken seeing whats ahead :(
Woo we made it into your video! I was surprised to see how large norcal rock scallop meats seem in comparison to scallops of a similar shell size in socal. I've only gotten rock scallops in socal, with meats with a radius of a quarter or nickel. Have you noticed a similar phenomena?
Of course I put ya'll in the vid. Meeting you guys was a great part of a fantastic adventure! Thanks for the vis reports and showing the viewers that nice ling! I actually have not noticed that pattern with the scallops and latitude. I guess we will have to sample some more scallops to test the theory ;)
Lagunitas Maximus is a damn good IPA
What is the best diving mask/snorkel or set you'd recommend for beginners ?
A simple J-shaped snorkel is best. Any low volume mask will do, but the most important part is that is fits your face so you really need to try it on. Let me know if you would like me to discuss dive gear recommendations in a future video.
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 great , thank you very much 👍
You waited 30 mins after breakfast before you swam, right? 😊
Lol, no... and then we both got belly aches :)
Where do you get those polyethylene boards?
Did some hunting and answers my own question.
banksboard.com/
Is the long tube for breathing while underwater?
No, it is a float line. There is such a thing as a "hookah rig" that allows one to do that, but requires a motorized pump on the surface, on a boat. In this video however, this is a float line that simply connects my float or dive board to my speargun or abalone iron. I use it mainly to drop the iron in front of caves where there might be a big fish or whatever to mark them while I hit the surface for a breath of air , or if it is attached to my speargun I can spear a big fish and fight a big fish using the float line as a "fishing line".
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 thanks for information.
@10:25 do you know what kind of jellyfish that is? Sea nettle?
Pacific sea nettle? it is pretty beat up though... hard to tell.
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 right on i've seen so many while surfing near half moon bay this summer and never been able to confirm what they are. they were all pretty beat up as well. thanks for the response amazing content!
I was just up there a couple months ago for one of the Watermans Alliance urchin removal events, how are the urchin barrens looking up that way?
Nice! That's great that you were helping with that! The barrens are pretty bad to be honest. Full vid on the subject coming soon!
I've got to try raw scallops. Too bad they don't bite a hook and line..
You ever want to get into diving just hit me up Nick!
They are called Banks Boards and my friends at the Freedive Shop in Sacramento area sell them. freediveshop.com

10:47 what the heck is that thing??
10:47 was a sea star, the filter feeder afterwards was a tube worm. They send out a feather-like fan to filter plankton from the water.
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 whoa that's super cool :) I'm taking AICE Marine Science so stuff like this is really interesting to me. Apologies for my username and my profile picture... my friend dared me to do it... lol. Love your channel, keep it up!!
Why don’t you kill every purple urchin you see? Aren’t they destroying all the kelp around here?
Good question. It is illegal to destroy wildlife without taking regardless of species. Additionally, purple urchin still have a bag limit (35 per day), however, as I understand it, that limit has increased at least in Humboldt, Mendocino, and Sonoma Counties where the limit is 40 gallons (while diving). Next time maybe we should load up! Finally there is debate that smashing urchins underwater may actually release more sperm and cause more offspring the subsequent year. It is really bad out there... the moment I can rely on some good science and put some plans in action to deal with this urchin overpopulation issue and the resulting die-off of kelp and abalone, I will be sure to share. In the meantime, my thought is DO NOT HARVEST BULLKELP! Unless, of course it washes up on the beach after a storm. The abalone need every bight of food they can get. Thanks for watching.
I would love if one of could send me some of the shells. I do crafts with them. I would be happy to pay for the shipping. I love your channel with the forging. God bless.
HATE too see all those purple urchins!!!
I know! Was just watching some throwback footage from 5 years ago... so crazy how much it has changed in so little time! Full video on the subject coming soon!
Raw scallops no thanks. Cook them up.
Lol, I disagree! That said, we will at least sear some for you the next chance we get.
