Brother I have been watching you for a long time just to let you know that your journey has ment alot to me. Your joy and journey has helped me through alot of tough times and has helped me create a channel with my wife, not a fishing channel but a channel none the less. Thank you for your inspiration 🙏. God bless you and your family brother
Man., You are the shyt! I hope you know it. Bro, I appreciate you for sharing all of your experiences. I grew up fresh water fishing in MS , but I’m now married with kids and I reside in NorCal. You’ve opened up ocean fishing to me through your videos. Whole new world. Keep posting sir.
I always love it when you go back to the mountains. The ocean stuff is fine, but fresh water is what I fish, so seeing you fly fishing and catching crawdads hits close to home. This was one of my favorite videos in a while. Please try to get back to the lakes and streams when you can.
I started watching your videos 4 years ago when I was just starting to get into camping and watching outdoors videos. The catch and cook video on dungeness crabs was the first one I saw. I have a friend that looked so much like you in the thumbnail and that's how I got into watching your videos. 4 years later I love all the new shots you do with the drones, the underwater shots, and they way you'd explore places you've never been. Thanks for all the cool adventures!

The amount of effort that goes into these videos always make me appreciate how hard he works to give us quality videos. Thankyou Matts, you inspire me to get my UA-cam channel going and make outdoor lifestyle videos! thankyou bro!
Keep your headup! Your videos are amazing, I wouldn't wanna watch any other videos. Your videos keep me company and its very interesting to see your content!
the camera shots are amazing, and knowing you're literally there by yourself doing all this is, this is better than content I would only expect to be watching on Discovery channel 10-20 years ago
Hey matt, just a tip about crayfish (crawdads), whichever you prefer. Dad and i used to catch them by the bucket load by our lake cabin. We'd mostly snorkel with nets, but a really good cheap trap we used was an ice cream bucket. You cut 2 to four 'X' shaped holes in the sides and bend them inward. The smaller flaps make them tougher and last longer, and the sharp points make it even less pleasant for them to get out. You can put string across the top and hang your bait and pinch the string under the lid-- the lid is handy for quick checks. The metal handle built in makes retrieval helpful, especially if you use fishing line. We used hot dogs but I'll try your bacon suggestion. Keep up the great vids and happy fishing!
Man i love these videos good to know theres other like minded people who just want to get away from the social world and go isolate and be one with nature love to see it👏💯
Man, that bass was a surprise. Gotta keep that rod tip down when they surface. I am learning that lesson the hard way this year. Every time I bring a fighting bass to surface, they show their true power and thrash the hook loose every time.
Yasss nother Catch and Cook and even tho in my country (philippines) fishing(hobby) like this is not popular but I Greatly enjoy the Scenery and those Beautiful Fish you bring to us many thanks for that And i hope if possible can you pls do a *Live Stream* catch and cook or just chill and fish ... its good if its close to your usual fishing spot for greater signal
Really enjoyed this video from the start and finish! Awesome Timelapse at the beginning, amazing aerial footage, catching fish on fly, underwater fishing for crawfish, amazing looking meal, all while surrounded by a beautiful landscape! Doesn’t get any better!🤙🤙
Bro Matt this was such a soothing and relaxing type video epic. And the cook part you knocked it out the park. Anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
I used to find enough time to watch couple of your videos in a row but in the last months I haven't. Now the quality of your videos has skyrocketed since then!!!
Always enjoy your videos. Hopefully one of these days meet you at your summer meet and greet. A fishing trip always has snag, but just to be out is the most wonderful feeling of being out fishing 🎣! God bless you and your whole family 👪
I like that you're the real deal fisherman, not the catch and release group. "They" catch so many good keepers, and it pissed me off when they let them go...
I agree. These are the ones I personally wait for. Once a year is just not enough hahaha. I can never figure out which river he's fishing. Water looks amazing
Next time, separate the tail off the crawfish, put meat end in your mouth, and pinch bottom of tail as you’re biting the meat. All of it is good. Beautiful scenery and great vid.
Great video Matts !! That scenery was beautiful, fishing looked like Fun and the meal looked like a feast. Thanks for taking us , it was a nice day hanging out and reminiscing with you. 🙏😍✌🌟👍
Cat food in a open canfor scent and a trout head for bait, basket trap for 4 hours on a rope with a float. Fed myself well for weeks off grid in Mammoth Lakes, June Lake loop
No need to waste bacon on that crawfish trap. The trout guts attracted the crawfish when you cleaned the fish, you could have thrown it in the trap and utilized the entire trout if sustainability is on your mind.
I have to say this video moved me a lot man! I've been following your videos for more than 4 years and I just love the content. Very different, but awesome to watch and enjoy. Even my Fiancé loves your videos and she barely fishes! I am moving from Virginia to Portland, Oregon and I think it's pretty cool as a Dental Hygienist who loves fishing and admires nature and the great outdoors. Would be my dream to find a place like in this Video. Keep on going my man!
@@FishermansLife it's definitely beautiful. California is beautiful. I've got rooftop tent and was thinking to hopefully find a time to head down to northern CA and explorer in a year or two. Hopefully find a place like in this video.
I'd love you're video about we're you an you're dad we're God Jesus christ blessing him wherever he is now an meany blessings to you an you're family an thank You's so very much. It had me crying 😢 with happyness joy in my heart remembering my parents thank you
Don’t leave comments too much on videos but just wanted to let you know that I love all of your videos but your fly fishing ones just hit different. Keep up the good work👍
Hey mate , just a heads up you need to remove the poo sack from the Crawfish before it's cooked and there is no need to take the side fins off first. If you check out my latest video you can see how easy it is. 👍👍
I hope you see this man, been watching you since the start, I love your videos. I would really love to know how you fund these endeavors. Is it just strictly from UA-cam?? Please respond man, you are living my dream.
Hey fisherman loves all your videos bro I had a question how you do find all the fishing spots and also you know there’s fish do you using a fish finder ?
As a fisherman who alternates between spinning, fly, and Tenkara....I love the way you demystify fly fishing. The fly snobs are obnoxious. Learning how to fly fish well enough to regularly catch fish is nowhere near as hard as some people would like you to believe. Conversely, there's a lot more to ultralight or light spin fishing than some think.
always enjoy your vids, matt... you put so much work into your videos, and they're always different. i wanted to ask, can you tell if that is a wild trout, or stocked??? i haven't been trout fishing in 50 years, and am just wondering how many large wild trout there are out there, even in the wild... happy fishing!
hey matts i was wondering if you have ever tried spotty fishing? its a pretty good and fun saltwater bass love fighting them on some lighter gear you should try it sometime its pretty fun but also wanted to say your videos always come out amazing im glad that everything is going good videos always top notch!!

eating dinner at 138am watching you worth every second.

Ooooo yeeees finalyyy i love this vedios when you go out hiking an do wild trout rainbow fishing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️

Man o man you took it old school with this video! I love it!! Awesome content as always Matts
Awesome job. I love your vids and your attitude. I am healing from surgery and will be able to go out myself soon. Thank you
looks amazing. cajun food is the best and this is fresh baby

Looked yummy Great video!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! It’s beautiful out there and looks so peaceful!!!
Wild trout tastes much better than farm raised. I've caught wild trout in Strawberry and Yosemite.
Aloha. Wild anything tastes better, especially if you harvested it.
I used to find enough time to watch couple of your videos in a row but in the last months I haven't. Now the quality of your videos has skyrocketed since then!!!
the editor guy he hired is making a great difference in that..
Very cool video thanks a lot And thanks for the recipe simple but it looks tasty Be careful in your travels
I'm only 3mins in, damn. Miss the outdoors, everything about this video is where I need to be. Those crawdads up north are a1!
Wow the shots on this video 10/10 🔥
Been waiting for one of these types of videos again! Glad to see you back out catching trout and taking us with ya!
On the fresh water hunt let's gooo...
And that crawfish boil though , looks good
That's on my bucket list. 🤝🏻
Dude the blips when you caught them 😂😂😂 I now need a fisherman’s life video game. Man your videos are so refreshing, one day I hope to meet you
These are my favorite videos and what got me following you. Keep it up.
Always enjoy your videos. Hopefully one of these days meet you at your summer meet and greet. A fishing trip always has snag, but just to be out is the most wonderful feeling of being out fishing 🎣! God bless you and your whole family 👪
LOL..."he pinched me...PUNK!" real life stuff there!
Nice detox watching this video. I like the Mario sound effect from the caught/missed crawdads. Peace bro ✌
Right on man. Careful on those cliffs.
I like that you're the real deal fisherman, not the catch and release group. "They" catch so many good keepers, and it pissed me off when they let them go...
Best videos ever. Love your content
Another amazing episode, the claws have easy to get to meat also.
Legit went from line and bait to 5 star meal. Hollywood couldn't pull this off.
Love the videos, you're my favourite outdoor channel.
Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to the next video!
I miss this trip of yours... it was a great adventure you just did... making want to do this tomorrow
Ayyyy you're in my backyard. That road is one hell of a road, straight cliffs. Fish at the pge station you'll smack em
Your trout fishing videos are my favorites. Need more of these. Absolutely beautiful location.
Hello how are you doing?
I agree. These are the ones I personally wait for. Once a year is just not enough hahaha. I can never figure out which river he's fishing. Water looks amazing
Does anyone know where he's fishing at in this video? I'm in California too
Love that breaking bad type of edit in the beginning keep it up bro!
22:30 *takes a bite of Crawfish* “DoWde” 😂 Louisiana boy came out!
Man need a detox from this technology too that looked amazing keep up the good work bro
Been waiting for another one of these trout vids!
Kern river looks great
Excellent VIDEO 📹 👏 👍 👌
Next time, separate the tail off the crawfish, put meat end in your mouth, and pinch bottom of tail as you’re biting the meat. All of it is good. Beautiful scenery and great vid.
Stone flys are in the river system year round just in different stages probably the most consistent fly in my opinion
love fried trout eggs. yummy
This is a beautiful video
I have fly fished for 30 years. You use what ever catches fish indicator or not. I love your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah, it's really people like you that have ruined fly fishing. Stick to your spinner reel.
Nice one Mats 👍🏾
Great video Matts !! That scenery was beautiful, fishing looked like Fun and the meal looked like a feast. Thanks for taking us , it was a nice day hanging out and reminiscing with you. 🙏😍✌🌟👍

8:40 Yes, I've had those days when the fish talk to each other. They be like: "OMG. They took Kenny. Nobody else bites today!".
Wow… thats creative idea❤
You're a funny guy Matt!
Buen contenido y buena variedad siempre eres una inspiración Gracias
Love this content
That was awesome!!
No need to waste bacon on that crawfish trap. The trout guts attracted the crawfish when you cleaned the fish, you could have thrown it in the trap and utilized the entire trout if sustainability is on your mind.
Matts I love these low mountain camping videos but geez man just use a light spinning reel set up. That flyrod is way too cumbersome
I don’t know if I can watch you try to cut fish with a dull pocket knife. Please get a sharp knife. PLEASE!!!
Loved the video. You should try and eat the claw meat on those bigger crawfish.
Nice 👍🏼
I have to say this video moved me a lot man! I've been following your videos for more than 4 years and I just love the content. Very different, but awesome to watch and enjoy.

We use our crab pot. A small one and as long as no big critters crawl in and break the hinges or netting we get over twenty
Crab pot may not be the correct term . It’s smaller than a deep water pot
I'd love you're video about we're you an you're dad we're God Jesus christ blessing him wherever he is now an meany blessings to you an you're family an thank You's so very much. It had me crying 😢 with happyness joy in my heart remembering my parents thank you

Yoo Matt, that time- lapse intro was sick! Keep up the good work man, cheers!
I wonder what part of the cali is this. great adventure.
Can't believe those crawfish just came right into the shot in the best lit spot, so sick
Yeah right? Hahah so cool and unexpected

For whatever reason, I thought you were single and always spent your time fishing
Hey fisherman loves all your videos bro I had a question how you do find all the fishing spots and also you know there’s fish do you using a fish finder ?
Fishhead is good crawdad bait, try reeling them up to 6 to 8 inches from surface then flip them on to the bank.
Was just here two weeks ago!
As a fisherman who alternates between spinning, fly, and Tenkara....I love the way you demystify fly fishing.
The fly snobs are obnoxious.
Learning how to fly fish well enough to regularly catch fish is nowhere near as hard as some people would like you to believe.
Conversely, there's a lot more to ultralight or light spin fishing than some think.
Agreed. It's way harder to teach a kid to use a spinning setup in my opinion.

Ahhh seeeit, the Californians found the slap ya mama seasoning. This is about to get good.
I could tell from the first 30 seconds of this video how good of a creator he is. Instantly subscribed!
Your transition when you change clothes to a wetsuit is flawless. 👌
Not even rough oceans stop this man! To the freshwater!
You had me at “crawfish boil”! Man I miss that Cajun cuisine from living on the TX/LA border. Crawfish, boudain, etouffee, jambalaya! 🌶
