How to CATCH and Cook Whole Fish on an Open Flame

- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Really tough couple days fishing from the rocks. Ended up at a beautiful spot catching some beautiful fish. Just goes to show that some days the fish aren't biting, but the next day it can be bites every cast. Finally got some really cool new caps, beanies and shirts coming up for sale so check out the website:
www.fishermans... to see.
Also follow my Instagram to see stories of where I'm going, where I'm at, and more interesting things fishing:

Some of the gear I was using on this video:
Straw Hat: amzn.to/2IxpCR2'
Sunglasses: amzn.to/2IbVU5u
Fishing Rod 8ft Med Heavy Spinning: amzn.to/2EhNuYd
Reel in 5000 Size (Shimano Socorro): amzn.to/2CglsMD
Braided Line, 30lb Suffix 832: amzn.to/2BL8KEO
I love just how "REAL" this video is about fishing, especially the "ZERO" sessions.
I really appreciate how you can keep your energy and enthusiasm even after 2 days of no fish.
Love yah dude
Dude. I literally watch this video after I watched yours. (The latest fishing vlog) and I'm addicted to his videos too. Damn, GLOCO!
Not only you that's addicted to his vids lol
I can't stop watching his vids
He's the best fisherman I have ever seen
love mo rin ba ako? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I knew fisherman's life channel about 2 or 3 years ago when you mentioned him to one of your Podcast so Thank you Gloco.
2:47 y’all don’t realize the effort, this man went down with the pole and gear and then places the camera down and went back up the ladder just for a good angle for us, BRAVO👏🏽👏🏽
jose Bermudez
Reminds me of survival man.
It’s a ton of effort to do all this stuff and edit after geesh
Hopefully he didn't carry down his pole or any non essential gear when setting his shot up if he was smart about it. Regardless it is so exhausting doing this type of filming on your own! Been doing solo camp videos for two years now and it can really help when you're alone or it can be the biggest pain. Mostly depending on the terrain and weather.
I have just turned 57 and my son just called me and asked me what I’m doing.. i told him I was watching this guy fishing... he said dad you need to find something else to do! I love this videos! I think I need to go back fishing like I did with him when he was a kid!
Do it!
I wish I had a father like you.
I am 65 and still go and pick my own lobster !
Sounds like a good dad to me

Matt: " This is 50 pound fluorocarbon "
Me, someone who's never fished a day in his life: " Can't go wrong with the 50 pound fluorocarbon"
L0l0lo
Mmhhmmm
Ik right I dont know a single thing about fishing but watching it is interesting
Lmao 🤣
Yep can’t go wrong with 50lb fluorocarbon lol
*Someone tell me what’s a fluorocarbon
I dont know what it is about this guy compared to the million others i just like watching him
It's called being genuine, plusses he only catches enough to eat.i saw a kayak fisherman with several Spanish mackerel going stiff in his cooler but he wouldn't stop fishing until the bites stopped coming.
Ronald Harris nah that’s not it lmao
Ronald Harris it dont matter how many fish you got, that’s completely irrelevant lol. This guy is just chill and humble and he has a different way of making fishing videos unlike others. That’s why people like watching him more.
He is doing what he loves. I have been watching him from 10k subs. Other youtubers try hardly only for viewers. Catch and cook and all but not interesting to watch. So fake. Fisherman's life is original in producing catch and cook videos.
It's how enthusiastic he is about it. He loves the ebbs and flows of the procees. He found his craft.
Fisherman’s life: “you’re a beautiful fish”
Also him: *beats fish with a rock and eats his beating heart*
Kali maahh Kali maaahhh
I'm dying :))))))))))))))))
😂😂
@@Adam-wk4lj oh man, lol!
Cameron Glover my uncle fuck it and my ass
listening to you is like listening to my very close friend who died last year, he was a real unicorn. he's the kind of guy who uses 6 aluminum ladders and rope to get to a fishing spot down a dangerous cliff. when you showed that memorial i was already thinking about him, definitely shed some tears.
bird bones wait so are you saying that dude’s spot was your friends? I’m sorry man for your loss
@@cloutgamer9683 no no no, not that specific guy. my buddy lived in Michigan, he'd do all kinds of crazy shit to get to a totally undiscovered fishing spot though. he wouldn't even tell me about all of them, lol. he was hyper enthusiastic about the things he was interested in and was just a super kind person.
he caught or hunted all of his meat and always ate the heart as well. he deeply revered and almost idolized the animals that gave their lives to him, mostly squirrels, and he made them the subjects of a lot of his art. he was a real gem, 1 in 7.5 billion. thank you for the sentiment, I'm still pretty tender about it i guess.
bird bones I know what it’s like to lose your best friend. That wound will never heal but I’m sure he’s somewhere happy.
no one asked
leonardo luevano fuck off
My GF: Don't throw fishes, put them back gentle in water. He: Throws them from cliff, shouting Flyyy!
a wise man told me "if youre not gonna eat it, put it back where you found it"
#cleanrelease
That's why fish got wings dummy.
If you throw um they can fly. Read a book sometime dumbass
When he threw the fish in my head I was like " Yaaaahhh YEEEEET" lol
hes encouraging evolution
26:16 RIP....There is always so much meaning to your videos!
I love that you show us newbies how to fish. I am 55 and a newbie to saltwater fishing and crabbing. I only fished bluegill at the Marin Civic Center and Nicasio Reseviour in the 1970s.
Hikes down * sets up camera

Makes great footage for us at home.
Reminds me of Casey Neistat.
Reminds me of les Stroud. He had a show called Survivor Man. He would survive one week in a random area with limited supplies
you know thats what hes gotta do
I swore I thought it was just me that noticed it
Goes to show how much we have to appreciate his cinematography and camerawork
"all i have is salt and olive oil" *brings out an entire stick of butter*
Well butter goes without saying
I wish you posted more because the vids are hella good but quality over quantity
It's like waiting for the next episode of any series on TV. You gotta wait till the next week to watch a 30 min episode.
Its worth the wait to be honest.
I can build a rocket but this is way more complicated😜
Agreed
@@chrismtz2020 one piece 😂😂 and the worst thing ever is when half of the episode is just recap
Evolution: Here take these spines to defend yourself.
Fish: Sweet!

Lol. I learned to cook a freshly caught fish from an illegal immigrant from Honduras that I took fishing with me one day. He brought a frying pan, cooking oil, Goya seasoning, and some Beer. I was like, 'What's that for?' He showed me later after he caught a couple of bass. Delicious! Great tips on using coals and rocks. I may try that.
I loved this vid.i was taught to fish by my grandmother on the rocks of big sur and pebble beach.thanks a lot I’m 43 now and being across the country from you,I am brought back to good times in the Bay Area.thanks bro my sons and I love you channel,,much respect and love to you from NC..
Great video it was nice to see an honest fisherman for once! It's not always cast and catch that you see on most fishing pages! You do have sessions where it all goes wrong! keep up the good work.
so true.. sometimes after watching videos you are all fired-up for action that you go to the sea and fish like you are in youtube but after an hour or two or 3 or the wholeday... reality set in. sometimes you will go home empty handed.
Its 1 55 am and I have summer school in the morning, I'm so happy I'm awake tho, you are one of my favorite people to watch. Thanks for all the great videos and I love you channel. Keep it up
Well I see why you're in summer school
Shane Ross I would appreciate it if you guys could help a friend out because I’m trying to get 100 subscribers 🔥🎣

@@2kChannel13 thank you
Man Ive been watching a few of your videos lately and I must say I love the fact you keep it real, and not just upload the wins.
Keep it on with the real stuff, no ones here to watch just wins, people enjoy the real and natural aspects of fishing.
I've never fished but I find your videos very relaxing and at times very thrilling. I appreciate your personality and how informative and also chill you are.
You need to upload more often man! I always wait for your videos, you have the best Fishing contents so far. And stay safe!! Cheers from other side of Earth!
I really loved the "butter mobile" :D
Incredible video, maybe one of my favorites so far!
For real ....homies veins are butter
I like that rocks on the coal technique! Great video, man!!
will you try it as well? :) carry Jun with you again, please!
Heyy, I like your videos too! The food you make looks really really delicious!
@California Coast Life Rewatched a video of him making temaki with herring roe and I had the BIGGEST craving ever for it!! 😭😭😭 Where can I get herring roe!??? 😭😭😭😭
I love these armchair fishermen on here who have never picked up a reel in their lives casting judgment on this guy (no pun intended). The fish being cooked looked AWESOME and the guy obviously has knowledge and some survival skills if need be. Good job man, I'm 54, have been fishing most of my life and I learned a couple of things from your video!
PRO PRO TIP: aim your rod directly at your snagged hook and leave no slack in the line, (with your fingers) push down on your line between the first and second eyelets to create a good amount of tension and release it quickly, should loosen the hook from whatever your caught in
saved me a bunchh of lines
This works a good bit of the time.
Never works
Herbert if it never works you’re probably not doing it right, better to try than to scrap line and a 10$ rapala off the bat
Good old buggy whip
Or just leave it, fish with ur other rod for awhile and try again
Matts, you ever consider adding a life vest to your gear when you’re out on the rocks like that? Your secret ladder spot looks hella sketchy.
"Fish went in head first swims away easily"... Lol my first thought was he was dead on impact haha
Eyes popped as soon as he hit the water 💧 RIP
I'm that fish is dead. Impossible to survive the fall that high. RIP
I'd love to know that backstory on the memorial at the end of the video
Love your content so much I’m not one for fishing personally but I am addicted to these videos and they kind of help my anxiety as I find them super relaxing. Fishing is also something my dad is super into so I learn a lot to talk to him about through your videos, I hope you continue to make such awesome content!
Man, I respect you! You are a total fisherman. You prove respect for nature, for environment. You are a determined man who know what he wants. You remind me on my passed brother in low who was like this. He was able to sleep under the sky full of stars using only a blanket, near a wood fire and with a god story night about a nice adventure fishing trip. And the final site it goes very deep into my memories ... Thanks to this video ant to your work. Respect? 🙂👍
“Look how much spool comes off the line” 😂😂
that tripped me the fuck out.
I always wanted to learn and be taught when to set the hook because no one I ever go fishing with freakin want to teach me but Matt’s explanation was so simplistically perfect. “Don’t set it when it’s nibble nibble. You want that BA BA BA BA BA! Not nibble nibble. BA BA BA BA BA! So you know he’s swimming around” lmao 😂
"You're a beautiful fish !"
*Starts banging its head with a rock *
LOL! Dying laughing at this comment.
*eats beating heart *
"Thank you, buddy!"
@@ryanb4026 me too lol

LOOL
This is a brilliant video! Really informative, light-hearted and entertaining, and makes sense to a beginner who’s done some pretty minimal reading up on sea fishing! Very enjoyable
i have been watching yr videos for only weeks. u are such a gentle man among most fishermen, your videos are very good. good picture, magnificent nature scene, clear english and good cooking on the spot is what i like the most.
Watched this while getting ready for work in my bathroom love your videos keep up the great work...
Caught me on my way to bed. Looks like I'm staying up a while! Thanks for the vid!
Mr Pickles same but you should probably get some sleep
@@branonsaetern7544 Just finished the video. Now I can dream of cliff fishing catch and cooks, lol.
Mr Pickles sleep well!
ur2.pl/2318 it came looking like it was way worth more than the price. Everything was packed so cleanly and still in the wrapping. The rod feels stirty even when I extended to its full length. The handle was solid and the extended handle was a nice touch. The reel is really clean, quiet, and it turn smoothly. It does feel a little heavy and it could be the reason why it felt solid. The one down side to the reel is the little polyurethane(not sure if it's made from it), nut get stuck when you remove the reel handle. The tackle, bait, and fishing line is a bonus for people who do not fish often.
Thank you for this video. Since there's a shelter-in-place due to the coronavirus these videos helped a lot. Is like taking a vacation without even going out. Plus I'm learning a lot from your techniques. It's like an adventure would your videos.
is good to see the struggles of fishing, is some how refreshing watching you going trough harsh long time to you get your first bite and then still loosing a couple more, is a very honest video i must say., every other video here in UA-cam you can just wonder how do they get so many fish and doing it so easily , but your video shows is not as easy and it takes a lot of patience. good video im subscribing rite now.
Me and my son have now officially watched so many of these videos that when you said “ladder spot I’m back there” my son started chanting LADDER SPOT LADDER SPOT LADDER SPOT 😂😂😂
Neighborhood police: "sir why were sleeping in your car?"
Matt:It's okay Officer I'm a Fishermen" 🤣
Is it illegal to seep in ones car?
@@sheapublishing in a rich white neighborhood haha they keep an eye out 👀 for criminal activities
@@sheapublishing in some cities it is.
Wow did not realize that.. Must stuck to live in the USA..
@wayouttatune2 They are taking about political and harassment from the police because of sleeping in the car of course the are is good like the guy said its a white neighborhood, it must be good
Hey Matt can you do a video on your knot ties but over a dark color background? Keep up the great videos!
I'm so glad i subscribed to your channel, can't thank you enough for setting aside your ego and posting your setbacks along with successes it is genuinely helpful and inspiring
Haha, you catching that slug made me nostalgic.
When I was a kid I went fishing for the first time with my Uncle Frank. I had a bad long day of catching nothing and breaking lines on rocks. All of a sudden, I got something! It felt heavy too!. Up comes a huge red-orange STARFISH. My Uncle let me pet it, was such a weird feeling. I'll never forget the sight and feel of that thing. It was beautiful. It was too bad they wouldn't let me take it home. I'm not sure why honestly, I don't think you aren't allowed to. Then again, maybe it was better off staying alive and enjoying the ocean :) Not like we would get any use out of it beside a souvenir.
Some of these cliffs are sketchy asf, trust your gut
Big Worm yeah man sooooo sketchy lol. Sorry about the loss just now too. Painful to say the least
@@NorCaLove1 maaaan this sucks. Draymond passing to the invisible man out here. Smh

Was so hype when I saw 27 minutes, grabbed my popcorn and chips.
Grabbed my bacon, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chips, tub of lard and here I am.
I grabbed hotsauce and chips lol
i love your enthusiasm about eating that fish, but i'm jealous, it did look super delicious
this is so BLESSED man hahaha, fishing then cooking right after, now this is LIVING THE LIFE!
Your video is so calming i dont know why, maybe i used to fish with bamboo rods in river banks and capes when i was in grade school, i miss those days man... You gave me the inspiration to fish again for fun and for free food, love you dude, God bless. With love from Pilipinas
The best fishing trips... Hello from Greece
Hello
I’m curious about the memorial spot at the end 26:19 it’s very beautiful, R.I.P to them
They didn’t stand 3 to 4 feet from the edge, could’ve fell over the cliff fishing. It does seem pretty dangerous if you catch a big fish.
@@FlashRyu I second that. You get a big fish and your drag is set too tight, Adios!
Here I am, a girl who has never gone fishing (I've lived the sheltered life of a monk, trust me) at 2 a.m watching these videos instead of sleeping.
Same keep saying I'ma go fishing because of him, but it's been 2 years. One day I will tho..........
@@David-ob1so Doesn't take much, $20 for a fishing annual fishing license and get a basic rod and reel combo from Walmart for under $20 and head on out to the nearest body of water. It's alot of fun you won't regret it.
I show all my friends how to fish if they don't know how to! It's a ton of fun you should definitely give it a try.
@@TheXterminate cost more than $20 in California buddy. Try double that and some.lol
@@mryang3644 Damn that's expensive. I'm in North Carolina so mine only costed 15 for an annual license lol
Between the height, the hang ups and being by yourself....thats a helluva day. Appreciate what you do my man. Stay safe out there.
This has to be the definitive Fisherman's Life video. Easily my favorite.
amazing fishing, great guy, spectacular content!
peace keeper nasty fish? they’re a deliciously.
@peace keeper u can't get sick from those fish... If u dont know about fishing and fish just shhhhh
jumbofrog your face is so punchable
Flacko joyde follow my ig- same as my username and say that bullshit again
What you described in the beginning in the video, is known as “Stealth Camping”.
Love your vids man.
Watching you lose gear makes me remember you are a regular guy, i love fishing its my passion but i seem to lose more gear than anyone, i catch fish but probably lose 30 more dollars worth of gear. Keep it up man
a wise man once sais that “if you arent losing tackle, then you aren’t fishing where you should"
This is the best video from you. I watch it 3 times a day.
So good to see you fishing again, Matts. You’re a fishing hero!
Him: You are a beautiful fish.
Also him: YEET
"One cast, look how much spool comes of the line"😂😂 11:07
The cringe is hard
Danger man, I'm trying to go to bed... Buuuut. Thanks for the videos man! I'm going to re-create this camping experience similarly this season.
Thank you for the granade rock tip. That fish looked so delicious. Keep it up you're a legend. 😃
Didn’t expect him to eat the heart. True respect to this guy...
I subscribed when he said the fish feel his desperation thru the line lmao.
should be able to sleep in the car where ever. its your car and your body haha great content keep it up brother
Much Love From Australia
yeah i agree with that
2:52 man went down, set up his camera then went back up..what a legend
attitude....and besides all the tutoring on fishing...your attitude was very good...we have all been through, it...into...through...and out of. thanx for sharing lifes experiences
Our traditional family knot - feed line through the loop twice. you then wrap 7 times + 1 "for the old timers who can't be here today due to various problems - most of them medical" as my granddad used to say. You then push it back through both holes and tighten w/ spit. The line will break before the knot will. It's very similar to the Berkley trilene knot but requires 2 extra wraps. My grandfather came up with that version of the knot many years ago and we have multiple family member with BASS trophies and have caught trophy fish all over the world with this knot. Everything from 2 pound cod to 54 pound king salmon.
I like how you got snagged on the first cast...oh the reality
He had to edit out the 10 other snags beforehand. Lol
Daaaaaang super late night post! Burning the midnight hours man!

I love the idea of camping in your car. I have a 2019 Honda Ridgeline pick up which has only a 5' and something bad with no topper. I have to sleep diagonal to be able to close the tailgate. Haven't done it yet but I have in mind a build that I want to do. Keep up the great vids.
This guy gives a tutorial on everything he does and I love it. He’s doing all for the fun
Dawg I watch all your vids over and over and they just make me hungry as hell.The other day I bought 10 pounds of cat fish and made it Cajun style 😂😂😂
lol dude
Great video! Got lots of great fishing tips! But also since I don't fish I got some bonus homelessness tips too!
You honestly just got me into fishing. Going to buy some gear and give it a go at my little trip to Pismo this weekend, cheers!
This guy has a black belt in tying knots, great vids - and I'm not even into fishing!
At my favorite surf spot - also favorite fishing spot when it's flat or small - we get a cheap kettle grill from Ace and toss the legs and wheels in the recycling. We keep the kettle and grill at the surf spot hidden in a gap in a pile of rocks from the cliff deadfall and bring it to where we sit where the cliff bends around to form the point where we jump into the water between sets to save a long paddle-out. We bring burgers, dogs, and coals to make a day of it and then hide it again before we leave. By the end of the season the grill is literally dust and most often the kettle is under a few tons of boulders and dirt. So it's another $30 for an Ace Hardware knock-off of the standard Coleman kettle. But it's so worth every penny...
It's really nice to stand out on the point and have your pick of casting between 10-20-30-60+ foot deep holes. You can bring lures, bait, or scrape up limpets or mussels. It's a great spot with a very deep sandy bottom in the middle away from the reef so you get a lot of different stuff swimming in to feed/hide amongst the kelp. I know there's some abalone there but have never gone diving for any so don't know how rich. Once as I was walking out on the point to jump into the lineup, I saw some scumbag pouring bleach on the massive mussels clumps to make it easy to take them off the rocks. My bro and I "encouraged" that asshole to gather his gear, drop the mussels he already had in his buckets, and very quickly leave and never come back lest he become part of the reef.
That sizzle when it hits the rocks. Only missing some lemon juice and a cold brewskie.
Lowcountry Yankee guy at the end was holding his beer 😉
Damn I was waiting to see another vermillion lol. Great video,that cabby looked amazing. Nice job Matts
" Honest Fisherman's Life", great stuff and well done, thanks !
Yep that’s fishing. When I pay a bunch of $ to charter a boat and a guide, I keep in mind that it’s a fifty fifty chance of catching a big game fish. My first time out I caught a 45 lb dorado & I was ecstatic! 30 min later I caught an 85 lb Sailfish. For me half the fun is getting out on the ocean , meeting interesting people & checking out a beautiful new location.Add a couple of beers & I’m set.

Im from papua Indonesia here some tips from me,
To Avoid getting Snag..
1.. Use 1 Hook only.
2.. Use a small Weight and attach it 5cm from the Hook..
3... Use Rock or other Heavy material, and Wrap it on a plastic bag Etc, so when the fish get hook, even if you lose the Weight it will not cost u...
Will cause pollution
