Hey man, I've been watching your videos for years starting back when I lived in the bay area. It's been so inspirational to see your channel grow despite all the set backs you've had in life. As I sit here writing this comment my mom as weeks if not days left to live after over a decade battle with cancer. Knowing you've lost loved ones and still had the strength to make videos.. I am beyond words. God bless you man.
Subbed like 5 years ago, didn't keep up when you went in for surgery, recently you started showing on my feed again, glad to see you're still doing a whole load of butter, fish and avocado.
This is by far my favorite video you’ve come out with in about the past year. I felt this one so deeply, it reminded me of how beautiful it is what you do. Peace!
It’s been great watching your channel you went from a small channel teaching people how to do things giving useful tips to having over a million people subscribe!🎉
Yeah, its not always going home with the killer catch like this; sometime it’s the pain of cutting your losses and keeping a stiff upper lip. Great channel anyways!
yesss, matts, its so great seeing you back at the rocks, this is what got me into your vids and inspired me to fish when i was 7 or 8 and seeing ur channel grow is awesome
I love that place, the little cove where the creek empties out is my go-to for rockfish and striped perch. Even when I skunk, it never feels like a wasted trip because its such a calming and beautiful environment.
When I was in a youth hostel in Norway, a guy brought my girlfriend and I out on a small boat, we caught some Cod, and cooked it fresh. Completely different experience from buying it at the store. Almost melted in our mouths.
Dude this is brotherhood if I ever saw it and have even experienced it. Loved the camaraderie more than anything. Thanks for sharing. Gonna share with my brother from another mother
Your rock fishing 'catch and cook' vids are always my favourite. I know you don't go out into the ocean much anymore, but, I sure hope to see more rock fishing vids. I love rock fishing, too.
Haven't seen one of your videos in a while, boy did this bring me back to all the catch n cook videos you put out. I can't wait to get out on the water, jeep up the good work 😁🫡😁
I've caught, cleaned and cooked dozens of Ling cod off the mendo coast, I have never seen anyone clean one like a trout before taking filets. That was pretty slick 👌
Been watching since 2019 I can say you showed me how to fish tie knots it’s been fun I still am a beginner but during Covid I picked up fishing cuz of ur videos. Just went kayaking fishing last weekend in pebble beach never thought I’d do that lol
ya i have been diving there , just south around the corner saw bunch of scallops and spotted an octopus in the cove , cool spot , also just north out to the pinnacle island more scalllops, good fun
That cove is my favorite County park. About 25 yeas ago we had a family camping trip there. At the time the abalone limit was 4. My brother in law took Fred out for Fred's first time. Within an hour they had 8 abalone between them. The day before I caught a keeper ling cod right in the cove. On another occasion I caught two cabezon from shore.
I was worried about you when you stopped showing up in my feed. Glad to see you are still fishing and giving great content. I was nice to see Danial too. Did he stop making content?
Its nice to see you out at the place you started.how about som clear water,short rod fishing,sight fishing like the old days.i wish I could go with you,bpkimrey
Can you do a video on how to understand CA state regulations for beginners? I think it would help out a lot of people starting and continue to help follow regulations for future sustainability. Words like fathoms, seaward, onshore/offshore times to fish and how it changes can be very confusing. Thanks! Keep fishing !!
Fish the Walker River when you fish over the east side of the mountains. The average trout are on the large size. Good place to hone your fly fishing skills.
I remember the first Ling I ever saw was this monster like 4 feet long at a campground up in the straights of Juan de Fuca. For a little kid that thing was massive!
You probably already know this, and i havent watched enough of your vids to know if you use this technique, but i used to use like a 3 foot leader, 4 ounce torpedo lead at the bottom with a treble hook and a shrimp fly half way up the leader and then bounce the bottom. Ive caught some monster lingcod, rockfish and some gigantic cabezon that way :)))

Yeah, its not always going home with the killer catch like this; sometime it’s the pain of cutting your losses and keeping a stiff upper lip.
Great channel anyways!

I could never quite explain it but you just described it perfectly. That’s exactly why I love these videos. Major Bob Ross cozy and chill vibes

I love that place, the little cove where the creek empties out is my go-to for rockfish and striped perch. Even when I skunk, it never feels like a wasted trip because its such a calming and beautiful environment.
Where is this spot?
When I was in a youth hostel in Norway, a guy brought my girlfriend and I out on a small boat, we caught some Cod, and cooked it fresh. Completely different experience from buying it at the store. Almost melted in our mouths.
I’m so glad you’re making videos again my man

It’s good to see Matts and Philosophy D together again! Reminds me of the early days
Dude this is brotherhood if I ever saw it and have even experienced it. Loved the camaraderie more than anything. Thanks for sharing. Gonna share with my brother from another mother
You, Daniel, and Taku should do a series together man. That would be so awesome. ❤
Notification appeared, and straight clicked the video. I clicked the thumbs up too, awesome!

Your rock fishing 'catch and cook' vids are always my favourite. I know you don't go out into the ocean much anymore, but, I sure hope to see more rock fishing vids. I love rock fishing, too.
It was a throw back seeing Philosophy D and Mattz fishing. The energy was most def nastalgic and fun. Make more catch and cook vids together.
Philosophy D! Good to see y’all making vids together and also dropping on the same day. Litty.
You got a little bit of everything on this vlog. Life is good brother. Take care care and enjoy.

"Put your head through first, then your arms" proceeds to do the exact opposite. Keep up the good content man!!
You do a nice job with the knife! Thanks for the tutorial. Congrats on the fish. That sure does look a little dangerous. Take care.
hey man love your videos! pls stay safe and continue to produce these epic videos for us!
lol i really miss this channel.. tq for new video...
Been watching u for a while now, keep doing ya thing.
Awesome catch ! That was epic to watch ! Cheers bro
I've eaten what lingcod had in their stomach. Twice I found fresh octopus and once a nice abalone still in the shell. Bonus meat.
Its nice to see you out at the place you started.how about som clear water,short rod fishing,sight fishing like the old days.i wish I could go with you,bpkimrey
That ladder from the hottub video could be from the 1850's! Talk about fine crafmanship!😮
I’ve watched this guy since a kid !!! Just fixed my 10 year account
Dude, that’s the biggest Ling I’ve ever saw caught off the rocks, and shore. Nice! 👨🏼🦲👍🏼
Good thing Daniel came along, he became your camera man.
Bro I love your videos! Keep up the great work!!
Fisherman's life is the best 😊
You made that look tasty. Amazing. Stomach is growling!!
Great collaboration 👍
Yo glad to be catching one of your posts this fast
This is the water where a 15 foot Great White mistakes you for a seal!
The fishing avengers coming together!
Can you do a video on how to understand CA state regulations for beginners? I think it would help out a lot of people starting and continue to help follow regulations for future sustainability. Words like fathoms, seaward, onshore/offshore times to fish and how it changes can be very confusing.
Thanks! Keep fishing !!
Don't know if you've done it yet, but you need to make a trip to FL and do some fishing. Take on some redfish, snook, tarpon, pompano, etc.
Great video man.
God Bless you.
Man I love how you cut the fish it's very interesting maybe one day I'll learn how to
i have heard that pacific cod and ling cod out of there have a lot of worms. Do you worry about that at all?
Fish the Walker River when you fish over the east side of the mountains. The average trout are on the large size. Good place to hone your fly fishing skills.
He is a great friend of yours.. nice guy…
I remember the first Ling I ever saw was this monster like 4 feet long at a campground up in the straights of Juan de Fuca. For a little kid that thing was massive!
Glad to see you Matts.
Omg! It’s Daaaaaaaaniel!!!! @philosphyD SOOOOO GOOD to see you guys together!!!
Thanks for posting you rock
it's really that whole cookie that get you too full to be able to dive safely 😂
You probably already know this, and i havent watched enough of your vids to know if you use this technique, but i used to use like a 3 foot leader, 4 ounce torpedo lead at the bottom with a treble hook and a shrimp fly half way up the leader and then bounce the bottom. Ive caught some monster lingcod, rockfish and some gigantic cabezon that way :)))
