@@FishermansLife fuck dude. Been watching you for years, sending warm vibes your way. I'm sure your pa would be proud, but he was already proud. As a dad myself just having my kids successfully fish on their own is an incredible feeling of pride :)
Man, when he said, 'If I do [catch a Halibut], this one's for you, dad', and silently paused staring off into the distant water, that really hit home and got me emotional. My dad passed away 10 years ago just after I finished High School. He loved eating fish and seafood, I always wished that we could have gone fishing together but we never got that chance to share that experience together before he passed away. I'm glad you shared that fishing connection with your dad and could share that experience with him. I hope to one day go fishing with my future kids and share that connection and experience with them. RIP your father, brother.
@@charlieretro Ugh, so true. My dad passed in 2020 and I had this same realization. There's a side to it where it's like... it's your turn to be strong now. It's your turn to help other people stand up and lend that shoulder.
@@FishermansLife that will never go away. I lost my pops a year ago, but I can always hear him in my mind in a still soft voice. No one is ever gone as long as we keep them in our thoughts and in our hearts.
@@newcollective I’m sorry for your loss. Just know that the hole in your heart will heal with time. Your grandma is shining down on you brother. They are always the brightest lights.
@Ano Ny i don’t believe in god but you dont see me going around telling people that believe in god that he isnt real. Just because someone has an opinion doesnt mean they should go around and tell everyone. Especially when this guy was trying to pay his respects in his own way.
Any man to have raised such a great son must’ve been an incredible person. May he rest in paradise (and if he’s anything like his son, with unlimited butter ofc)
Empathy, character, integrity, selflessness passed down from father to son. Yes, your Dad must have been an incredible person and no doubt was as proud of you as could be. Throw in some avocados with that unlimited butter. LOL. Good luck ahead.
Matt, I met you and your Dad possibly that same day at OP. I was the guy who had a Hobie PA. I talked to you for a few minutes at the upper parking lot as you were packing up to go home. I mentioned how you influenced me to go back to fishing. I know it’s never easy losing a parent but I’m sure you have wonderful memories of him and the love he gave to you and your family. May he Rest In Peace. 🙏
Great video Matt! Your dad was with you enjoying your fishing adventure! I know your dad is so Proud of you! I am a SF Native. My dad and I used to fish at the Brisbane Tubes and Sierra Point in the 70's when there were no roads or buildings and the Stripers averaged 20lbs. I lost my dad on Feb 17, 2019 two weeks after your dad passed. I miss my dad so much! This video helped me because it brought back all the great memories of fishing with my dad. Thank you so much Matt! Sending you hugs and Prayers! God Bless you!
My heart goes out to you, lost my Dad recently, October 2020, and still haven't got my head around it. I lost a Dad and also my best friend, he was both. He taught me to fish and some of the best times with him were fishing so after the funeral I went fishing with him in my heart and when I think of him and get the blues I grab my rods and go fishing with him again and I feel better. They say time will heal, I hope so. I feel your pain.
Oh man that's so recent. One place that's really dear to me now is in the mountains when I fished for trout. Made a video about it too shortly after my dad passed. That one really helped me come to terms with things. Super tough and seems so unreal sometimes but it gets better and for sure he's always there whenever ya want! 👍
My dad passed away on 2/5/2015. He was a huge fisherman and loved to take his fly rod all over the sierras. Now, I fly fish throughout the sierras and that’s I how I connect with him even after his passing. My favorite video of yours was when you caught your pb trout on the fly - it was truly inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing!
I just want to say that theres definitely fishing in heaven. Imagine casting your line and catching a new creature everytime. Never the same fish always a different species :). Ive dreamed of this and I know it has to exist.
Great video. Been a subscriber for a little while. Not a really long time. But awhile. I lost my dad on December 7th 2019 from sudden cardiac arrest. He was amazing. He taught me how to fish (grew up in WA) and go crabbing. I live in TX now (since 1994) and would go back every summer to visit. He and I would go fishing and crabbing. When I had my daughter, she started going. And then my husband, who grew up in Texas, my dad taught him and his daughter how to fish. I miss my dad with every breath I take. Every time I head to the water out here to fish, I take something of his with me. I know he is in heaven. It just makes me feel better. Love your channel. Stay safe and God bless.
I had no desire to fish until watching Mats. He woke me up. Possibly saved my life. Give it a try. Nothing more exciting than feeling the tug at the other end. Glad you support this channel either way!
May his soul rest in peace man, I am in the weird situation that, I can pretty much feel you 100%. I am 33 and I just lost my dad 2 months ago, which I deeply adored, and got through some rough times together, life is never gonna be the same again...
Aw man I'm sorry to hear that. The first few months were very difficult. Very hard to wrap my mind around at that time. Going fishing alone in very secluded areas gave me the freedom to finally come to terms with things. One of the toughest things ever
Matt, I used to go on fishing trips with my dad before he passed away. He died when I was 3. I went fishing maybe 2-5 times since his death 20+ years ago. I found your channel when I moved to California this year and it was like reigniting a flame inside me. I went all in at the beginning of 2021 and I've been spending most of my free time fishing the shores, rivers, and lakes of California. The first fish I caught felt like my dad was sitting right next to me. Thanks, Matt! Your videos brought me so much happiness and a new money pit hobby!
I lost my Mom at a young age, don't despair, everyday is a new day to celebrate the lives who paved the way for our existence. We raise a glass to your Pop's. 🍻
I have been watching you since you started your channel. I grew up fishing the same places you do now. My father and I both. I live in Florida now in my retirement. I fish on this side of things now. But every time I watch one of your videos...I think about dad and I fishing...and what you show is like a time machine for me and a lifetime of great memories...thank you
You can see Matt reliving some of the hurt when he talks about it. Thanks for all you do Matt, your pops is up there watching you and with you every time you're on the water man. Thanks for taking me fishing with you Matt its got me through some tough times.
Your Dad will be with you on all of your fishing adventures forever bro. My grandmother taught me to fish when I was nine years old, I am seventy three now. Every fish I catch is because of her. She passed in 1974 but I always have her in my heart especially when I am on the water. With every fish I catch I look up with this great big smile and say “Thank You NaNa I Love You”. Keep On Fishing Bro. You learned from the best Ron In Los Angeles
Pops is shining down on everyone smiling that his boy is slaying the water still keep your head up brotha.... also that hoodie is fresh im definitely getting it
Lost my dad Feb 4 1998 . It's hell. We also enjoyed fishing together. Thank heavens for those memory. Now I get to take my kids and it's wonderful. Life is good. Thanks for the great work
The fact that you don't take ANY sponsors makes me really happy. You are an honest and good guy through and though and I want to be the type of person you are one day. Your dad was DEFINITELY great person and it shows through you
Awesome to see you out in the bay so close to the ol stick...brings back good memories. I know how it is to have Pops/dad go to his heavenly home, so seeing you honor him with this video was special!!! Keep posting, I shall always be your fan here as a SF native that I am and of course becuz I need to fish to feed my soul. God bless n good times
Lost my Dad in December 2018. Wish i made more memories before he passed. He loved fishing and i know he woulda loves your videos if i knew of this channel when he was around. God bless you and your pops!
Yeah! In the late 60's and early 70's my dad was a long haul trucker. In the summer of 72 I traveled with him around this great country. If we happened to stop by river, lake, or stream, we had the fishing poles out. He moved on in 1987. It really touched me to see you and your pop out on the water. While I have enjoyed many of your videos, this one is my favorite. Thanks buddy! Take care!
My dad taught me to fish. He passed away in 2018 after battling cancer but now I too go fishing to reflect on the good times we had together. Much love man.
Right on Matt!... Glad you are doing well you Fishing UA-cam Entrepreneur!.. Been watching your clips for over 2 years I think. Love all the fishing tips you share and your witty sense of humor... Dont change your approach! I never had a Pops but I have two boys who will some day will say "Remember Pops fishing..." RIP your Pops he has a Great Son.
It's a reminder that you don't always half to keep but also release. Whenever you go out to sea or fish by the shore your dad will always look after you. My last year of living in SF was in 2014, my dad passed away, and went home to take care of my mom. Tight lines.
Condolences man! I am sorry you lost your father, I bet that was incredibly tough and I can't imagine the day I lose a parent. God bless you and thank you for your amazing videos.
lots of love from my family to yours, I understand the connection between fishing an feeling the connection between a lost father. my dad was a fisherman an I feel it everytime I cast my line out. ♡
With my Dad gone at a young age my Mom was the one to take me and my 3 siblings fishing and camping all along the East Coast. She taught us priceless other things, but most of all the unconditional love of a parent. My husbands parents are like my own parents so I'm very lucky. You'll always miss your Dad Matts, but I know he'd be proud of you and all that you've accomplished.
I recently lost my father as well, and it’s horrible man. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and you helped make me happier all the time. I know your father is very proud of you, and you have so many people that care about you. Rest In Peace to pops.
Losing your pops is something that you can never recover from. Sorry about your pops brother i hope he knew the lord. He’s definitely in a better place then we are in! Stay blessed brother keep posting these dope videos and making us jealous !
My condolences. I've been watching you for years and it's been nothing but joy tagging along on your fishing/camping trips. We are all here with you brother you are never alone. P.S. don't forget to bring the butter and avacado.
RIP to your father man. My grandpa always took me out fishing and I will always be grateful for the time I had with him. The beanies in the shop look dope dude!
Your dad was a good man and he raised you well (taught you how to fish afterall). Keep doing what you love man it's all we got sometimes. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks Matts. This was a good video to remind us viewers how important it is to appreciate those we love and show it when they’re here and when they’re now. That footage of you two was precious bro.
My Mom and Dad took me fishing nearly every weekend during the summer and fall when I was a kid. They gave me a love of fishing and the outdoors. I miss them so much and wish they were still around to see my kids enjoy fishing and the outdoors. You and I still have good memories of good loving parents sowing good seeds into our lives.
Thanks for sharing something so personal with all of us. I lost my mother on 01/01/2020. It definitely hasn't been easy, and I can empathize with the healing you've been going through. I'm finally starting to feel the slightest bit of normalcy returning to my life, and I'm glad to see you're making progress in your own healing. You're accomplishing great things and we all know he'd be fucking proud. Thanks for all the content (it's helped me a ton these last few months). You're the man.
Hey brotha, my condolences 🙏 I'm from fremont and me and my dad love your videos! We watch them together! I hope me and my dad meet you one day when we are crabbing at Ocean Beach or fishing around the bay. God bless
... your dad will forever keep you safe on the waters man. He would be proud if he could see what you've accomplished. And also what you will accomplish. Youre one of my favorite youtubers because of the wholesome humble content. You inspire and teach others to do so much more than we believe were capable of doing! Keep going guy!
Your dad would be proud of what you've accomplished.
facts this man has gained my respect countless yet has never lost it not once
Thank you. Woulda been cool to share it with him but can't change things now 👊

I recently lost my father as well, and it’s horrible man. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and you helped make me happier all the time. I know your father is very proud of you, and you have so many people that care about you. Rest In Peace to pops.
Losing your pops is something that you can never recover from. Sorry about your pops brother i hope he knew the lord. He’s definitely in a better place then we are in! Stay blessed brother keep posting these dope videos and making us jealous !
My condolences. I've been watching you for years and it's been nothing but joy tagging along on your fishing/camping trips. We are all here with you brother you are never alone. P.S. don't forget to bring the butter and avacado.
Dad would be proud of your fishing success!
RIP to your father man. My grandpa always took me out fishing and I will always be grateful for the time I had with him.
The beanies in the shop look dope dude!
Oh Matts, we feel you man. We all love you. Just do what makes your dad very proud ❗️❗️❤️
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Your channel and how you conduct yourself is very admirable, im sure hes proud of what you do.
Sorry brother for your loss. But keep on keeping on man. Your pops has to be very proud of you man.
My condolences, it's very difficult losing a parent. Wishing you joy and peace.
Your dad was a good man and he raised you well (taught you how to fish afterall). Keep doing what you love man it's all we got sometimes. Thanks for the upload.
God bless brother. My dad has been in my life every step of the way and i would hate to lose him. Prayers and condolences.
sorry for your loss Mats...my condolences to you and your family brother...keep up the amazing videos man!
Thanks Matts. This was a good video to remind us viewers how important it is to appreciate those we love and show it when they’re here and when they’re now. That footage of you two was precious bro.
My Mom and Dad took me fishing nearly every weekend during the summer and fall when I was a kid. They gave me a love of fishing and the outdoors. I miss them so much and wish they were still around to see my kids enjoy fishing and the outdoors. You and I still have good memories of good loving parents sowing good seeds into our lives.
Its safe to say that he's up there right now looking at you and feeling proud seeing you doing what you love and become successful, rest in peace.
Thanks man!
Bless him and bless you. My pops passed away recently too and your vids always bring me a smile when I’m not feeling the best.
Rip, what a beautiful tribute. You are an amazing son ❤
Thanks for sharing something so personal with all of us. I lost my mother on 01/01/2020. It definitely hasn't been easy, and I can empathize with the healing you've been going through. I'm finally starting to feel the slightest bit of normalcy returning to my life, and I'm glad to see you're making progress in your own healing. You're accomplishing great things and we all know he'd be fucking proud. Thanks for all the content (it's helped me a ton these last few months). You're the man.
RIP to your dad man! Seems he raised a great man! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey brotha, my condolences 🙏 I'm from fremont and me and my dad love your videos! We watch them together! I hope me and my dad meet you one day when we are crabbing at Ocean Beach or fishing around the bay. God bless
... your dad will forever keep you safe on the waters man. He would be proud if he could see what you've accomplished. And also what you will accomplish. Youre one of my favorite youtubers because of the wholesome humble content. You inspire and teach others to do so much more than we believe were capable of doing! Keep going guy!
I am sorry for your loss I love your Chanel I have been watching since the beginning ♥️
