Found Abandoned Crab Traps on My Fishing Trip! I Will Get Them All!!

[@FishermansLife]

AHHH! I'm trying my best to get these Thursday, Sunday videos out by 10am every time. Had to come home from a fishing trip to do a minor edit, so sorry for the delay today!! Got the fish though :)

[@happykid7339]

It’s all good man

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Brotha we're gonna watch whenever you post. Don't stress yourself out man. And to answer your question HELL YES we'll watch even without you catching fish!!! Me personally I love the environment you're in. I love the scenery, and different kinds of life that we don't get to see here in Florida!!! Don't sweat it homie. We're here to stay🤟👊

[@racerex340]

Trust me, very few of your subs care, they just appreciate the potential of getting two videos a week. Most of us were happy when you came back from the Achilles injury after a few months and were able to post again at all, we'll take what we can get :) Tight lines my man!

[@makop6811]

Its almost april and you can fish rockfish by boat again sir. Good luck out there. Be safe. Always entertaining.

[@garrettr.7422]

you're good bro , a vids a vid

[@MrY2kover]

Yes it's worth posting if you don't catch anything. Makes me feel normal because it happens to me too

[@BonahPerson]

DisIike my vid

[@xeleghosts7503]

i agree with OP

[@mattgarland1776]

I agree, worth it. Fishing is never a guarantee. It's fishing , not catching!!!! But... either way and great trip no matter.

[@4xhoser]

Agreed

[@Sceptnado]

EXACTLY. I skunk out constantly and seeing all these UA-camrs catch fish non-stop makes me feel like I'm just awful at it

[@rubob1889]

Only the ogs will remember the sand flea catch and cook from a few years ago

[@danielcoppock]

Hahahaha oh hell no hahahaha

[@danielcoppock]

I just remember him being severely dissapointed in the taste as they looked pretty good at first but one bite revealed all hahahaha

[@JuanMartinez-ez5hp]

hahahaha he tried both hard and soft shells...he was like eeeew hahahahahaha good times!

[@Josh-bf6ht]

he was so disappointed lmaoo

[@metabaron90]

They looked good, but considering what they eat.. yergh

[@danwilson9073]

Your videos aren't about the catch, they're 90% about your charisma, filming skills, and editing skills. If you think you have decent content, regardless of what you actually catch: share it!

[@danwilson9073]

Especially if you include educational information, like the rips and bowls.

[@danwilson9073]

Weed pun not intended.

[@maximo6037]

True....but he does make some great catches...especially considering he is casting from land

[@kingtillotz4791]

and his channel is named Fishermans Life. This should include his failures too. Especially because he wants to educate.

[@maximo6037]

@@kingtillotz4791 good point

[@chinaskibukowski7747]

My neighbor was a fisherman his entire life, passed away not that long ago and he gave me a interesting tip on using shrimp as bait. He said cut them in half length wise and you can get 2 times more bait. You can still run them through the hook and they look almost identical to a full shrimp.

[@FishermansLife]

Great tip!

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

@@Koji-888 HAHAHA Epic!

[@saltywetreefer3985]

Brilliant!

[@motown81]

Yes, please post regardless! Half the watch is just the feeling of hanging out with you so whether you catch or not (and cook or not), I’m always down to watch!

[@vincentvalenzuela5718]

Dont feel pressured to keep the upload schedule. Quality over quantity.

[@zachgrube9861]

My favorite fisherman on UA-cam! Always honest and ALWAYS gives consistent and helpful tips in Every video. Your a great guy! I bet If you tried you could probably get a club or a youth group going in your area and help people by getting them out to do some fishing!

[@FishermansLife]

I've thought about that. Might do it one day soon

[@christiana.juarez4055]

That song he plays while time is passing by is going to be nostalgic and is a staple to his channel

[@diggity2966]

Matts, a million + subs in 5 years is no joke dude!!! Just goes too show about your charisma, energy, and hard work dude!!!

[@JCpro2016]

I like that you show the good and the bad days! This is the reality in fishing, and you're not setting unrealistic expectations for new fishermen!

[@mav]

Back to perchin. Love to see it matts

[@FishermansLife]

Thanks bro! Following in your footsteps buddy!

[@TeamDreg]

Y’all need a reunion video! Both channels doing well. Love to see it!

[@ianjones3215]

Dude, I fish from the beach all the time and don’t catch anything. It’s all in the game! Keep posting vids even if you don’t catch. You help us learn so much!

[@estebanr1998]

Don't put too much pressure on yourself that you have to catch something on your fishing trips, your content is amazing regardless! your fishing tips and rigs is are also enjoyable to watch and learn from

[@JerichoTheCity]

I began watching this channel mid summer 2018 and stopped after like 3 months; came back to the channel last week and have been watching the large backlog of vids. Really neat that this channel has grown so much and it feels nostalgic because I enjoy the vids just as much as I used to.

[@Fl-Pride]

Always worth watching fishing. It’s cool to see all the ups and downs. Shoot, all us fishermen just love to hear the waves and understand what’s it’s like to get skunked.

[@momobobo123]

Love that you posted your struggle to catch. That’s what a fisherman’s “life” is all about. You will get to a point where you can guarantee a catch. Keep educating us!

[@normanlong6872]

Been following you for couple yrs...you have grown in skill and I agree another sub....its your personality that attracts...you were raised right....be blessed

[@rogeliobravo4927]

"Even though its small it feels so good!!!" Matts quotes to remember 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@oscer191]

the only thing that worries me about you doing a Thursday and Sunday schedule is burn out. Pushing yourself to make videos constantly even on slow or no bite days can take a toll on ya. Not to mention when it's no longer fun it reflect both the content and the content creator. There's a charm with your videos and I dont want to see that go away anytime soon.

[@PsychoCutieMe]

Right.

[@bigjj974]

You put in the time and effort so I am sure we can put in the time to watch no matter what you catch. Thanks

[@robleebak]

Dont worry Matt...it’s fishing , not catching. Sometimes it just doesn’t pan out. That’s what makes it so fun.

[@abdullahmohammed8502]

“Just keep trying.” I love this type of attitude.

[@SmileyManPrince]

Fisherman’s Life has came a long long way! I remember I was watching when he only had a few thousands. Didn’t feel like it was long ago but damn! It’s been some fast long years.

[@artkitzmiller957]

I WAS RIGHT!!!! I just watched your 1st catch and cook video! I loved the history lesson you gave us. I fell in love with that site in 1977 on my 1st visit before going overseas for my 1st military assignment. Thanks again!

[@uhyeeh959]

Catch or no catch ... your videos are worth watching because of your personality and commentary , keep up good work!!!

[@Erical65]

It’s like real life! Sometimes you catch fish but not always. I always learn something whether you catch fish or not...
Thanks for the video!

[@jakebaker6445]

dude everyone loves you not for the fish you catch, but for your personality and your fishing tips and secrets. you help a lot of people with how to fish and at least for me i wanna see as much as i can. keep it up man

[@williamviramontes1038]

Please keep posting videos even if you don’t catch fish! Enjoy watching!

[@jeffreyhicks6380]

We don't come here to see you catch fish. We come here for you! Catching is just a bonus. Vibes, man.

[@xaenmo]

Regardless if you don’t catch anything, your videos are still and always entertaining

[@mpnugent]

Beach videos are worth it bro. We all are tuning in haha

[@passionate4chrome]

It’s a good day when fisherman’s life and addicted fish both post ✅

[@poopypoop5180]

The nostalgia of the first catch and cook

[@moomooflower123]

Holy crap it's been 5 years already?!?! That's amazing!
I think it's worth posting the footage of no-catch attempts, it just shows the realness of fishing with all its surprises and unexpected moments
Awesome video by the way!

[@justin51oh55]

We like the catches/catch and cooks. But we are really here for you. Post em up!!!

[@TeamDreg]

Always post a video whether you catch anything or not brotha. Some of us can’t be out there but still enjoy watching you get at it when we can’t.

[@leoolicas]

I could watch your videos everyday, catching fish or not. I really enjoy your videos.

[@samuelborchardt-cho7379]

It’s crazy to see your channel blow up, it’s well deserved.

[@ReaperX1]

Don't feel pressured to produce man. We like the frequency, but we love the quality too. You're genuine so we will always love your content.

[@TheOnlyTiminator]

I think you should keep posting especially when you don't hook up. It helps to show your trouble shooting and thought process. Not to mention, it's more realistic.
When I fish for an hour without getting a nibble, I get discouraged since it looks like every youtuber hooks up every cast.

[@nambo1445]

I don't think people would be as interested if you don't catch anything. Something about watching you go out into the wild and finally catch a fish and cooking it is so entertaining.

[@JMag1]

I just learned crab snaring this year, and I went to one of Matt's secret spots from a former episode and caught a couple keeper Dungeness. Thanks Matts!

[@broomstickcowgirl]

It's definitely worth you posing your videos!! Please keep them coming! Just because the day is unsuccessful to you doesn't mean that it's not wanted by your followers.

[@ouissandy2806]

I think your the best story teller in your coast. I don't care if you catch just enjoy the journey.

[@AsianTexasCowboy]

Just received 2 hats from your merch store for me and my son. Thank you for all your videos.

[@poopoop331]

Part of fishing is sometimes not catching anything. The advice and technique tips are worth watching for even if you catch nothing. Keep up the good work

[@47thpanzerunit]

I live in Texas so I like watching fishing in other parts and terrain. Even if you don't catch I'll still watch I always learn something from you. Keep it up!

[@theresasalas5853]

Yes keep showing the videos. They are fun to watch and we always learn something. Fish on fish 🐠

[@joshuasorto384]

Posting even if you dont catch seems fine to me. Just seeing you go out is nice for us who cant always go out there. Any day fishing is a good day, and it goes to show what life of a firshman can really be

[@jtoutlander6062]

Even when you dont catch fish i enjoy your vids! I always learn something and you motivate me to go fishing. Keep the vids going

[@zimmhone]

If you don't catch, still post and make it a series or challenge. It's still nice to watch you try figure it out. The world needs happy normal real content more than ever.

[@ScottHillsmusclecargarage]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You have a great attitude when it comes fishing. Keep up the great videos and I'll be back watching them.

its nice seeing more people finally release fish, and yes post the videos if you don't catch things the videos are great anyway. more release do your part to keep fish in the waters for the young to grow up getting some. its takes year for fish grow to a age where they can reproduce. help keep the outdoors wild.

Good video man!
Keep'em coming.

Like the saying goes, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of anything else. Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@mangue7195]

If you think the video didn't turn out interesting, don't worry, no pressure. Just post stuff when you're satisfied with it. I honestly watch the videos for the catch and cook, you preparing food on the spot :D. It always makes my mouth water. Remember that you still have a lot of people who watch you for just the fishing, not especially for the results :). I don't mind fishless videos from time to time :D.

[@brentwong6982]

Keep posting: even if you don’t get anything it’s still fun to watch and guess your spots.

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Changing beaches isn’t always necessary, as long as you’re willing to hike the beach you’re on. We usually fish 50’ at a time. They’re usually some where in there.

Great video - thanks for sharing. Yah, If I get no action, I walk, boat, drive to another spot and keep trying, I switch up baits, presentations, until I either get some bites, or head on home
