When Fisherman's Life says, "idk if it's a good idea" this video going to be lit!
Thanks for the Pin!
Lol 😂
Valerie B I think I know why you laugh 😂
Israel Rivas oh yea, wouldn’t catch me out there. Perfectly fine fishing on land!
Valerie B lol, are you from the bay area? Where do you normally fish?
There's something so cozy and calming about your videos. Really makes me wanna get out there and learn to fish.
Meery late christmas. Tried to get this video out yesterday but couldn't finish in time. Happy new year everyone! Kayak fishing video out in a couple days too :)
Fisherman's Life merry*
Fisherman's Life merry christmas!
Fisherman's Life let us know when you come to Mendico! You should do a video fishing with subscribers from the area!!
Fisherman's Life if only your partner carry a knife to catch that fish dude😉
Fisherman's Life thanks bro! Super cool video totally loved it!
Matt, I am impressed at how clear is the audio on your videos. Never any wind noise, and even the long range video, when you are 100 yd off shore, has clear audio.
Newspaper Head Lines Reads "Reported Lost Fisherman found 200 mile off Hawaii, says he survived by eating butter" or "Fisherman Float Tubs Down Cliff" LOL! You're Nuts Matt!! Cheers!
Yes, crazy going out around SF bay with the currents as strong as they are. Once lost power near Aquatic park and ended up almost to Angles island.. And you playing around out in the Pacific. Wear your Hawaiian shirt.
I wanted to say you brought back my childhood experiences with your videos. You have inspired me to go fishing every chance I get. Thank you so much. Fishermans life!
Honestly man, you got me back in fishing and put a whole new excitement into my life. I’ve never ocean fished until a couple months ago and now I’m trying everything! Can’t wait to get my first ling of halibut! I recommend your channel to everyone I talk to about fishing and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched all your videos now can’t wait for more content!
Took all the safety precautions? You are a Scooby-Doo snack with feet dangling for Mr. Great White.
What a snack
Lololol
Pause manz jus called matt a snack 😫😭😭
"You know what I've got, I don't even need to say it"
People who don't know fishermans life: "salt and pepper?"
Fans: "BUTTERRRRRRR"
I watch your videos at night right before bed. It's like having a cocktail. Relaxing and a bit exciting. The build up to the meal is like I'm there with you. Great videos
Your videos really relax me when I need it
Jason Genova Me and you both know that recently you changed your profile pic.
Jason Genova I agree with that statement it does the same for me, it's like stress relief therapy.
Jason Genova whats up piss trooper
Agreed. I don't know what it is exactly but I'll just watch these vids when I'm stressing lol
Jason Genova Jason could eat that lingcod and not even be full bro
that footage at the end with you trying to bring the raft up the hill was so funny , great stuff Matt and Daniel , Love all you do :)
This video has it all... the anxious ass clenching uncertainty of that float tube, to the triumphant catch, to Daniel's missed catch story lol. Not gonna lie, I thought you were crazy float tubing out in the ocean lol, still do actually; but damn if you didn't earn a victory badge that day lmao. Cheers bro.
=D hahhaah
Worlds colliding - Bay and Beyond Fishing should do a collab with Fisherman's Life!
Ass clenching uncertainty made my night
One of the best comments I have read in a while.
Freaking amazing right? I mean really put yourself in this situation. how many of us would do this?
yo man this channel is so pure, im really happy i get to watch little pockets of life like this
We’ve do this a lot off the coast of Santa Barbara, great for fishing the channels between the kelp! We caught 30 halibut in one day, we kept 2 legal ones each. We call it the “shark doughnut!”
Fisherman’s life I think you are a great outdoor motivator. The following is a truth fact.
I always wanted a boat, but due to space and budget it was not possible. Then I thought about a raft, searched on UA-cam and came across with one of your vids. I saw that you modified a raft with plywood floor. I did the same thing with a Seahawk 2. I learned that it would not be safe for heavy use or family fishing. I searched for other options and made the decision of buying a Seaeagle 420X kayak. Tested it in reservoirs with high current eg. (San Luis reservoir). Learned a lot things including the dangers. I started modifying my kayak. Now it’s one of its kind (trolling motor and many other upgrades). I launched this year at Santa Cruz small craft harbor regularly and it was so much fun. You inspired me to live my dream and the raft I have fulfilled my dream (for now). Thanks for sharing your time and effort. Happy New Years.
I have been a SCUBA diver for over 25 years now. I knew an older gentlemen about 25 years ago that told me about his check out dive on a dive boat, just off the shores of Northern California, near Carmel to be precise. He had just exited the water and was on the boat waiting for the other students to surface. He said they saw one of the divers, about 30 to 40 feet from the boat just shoot out of the water like a fishing bobber. That divers buddy helped him get to the ladder at the boat and a few of the guys on deck hoisted him on board by his hands. He said he had been bitten completely in half right at the waist line. The poor guy was still alive and passed quickly as he bleed out severely.
This never stopped me from diving. I've dove at night, in kelp forests, just about anywhere and everywhere I could think of. I will be honest though and when I'm paddling out from shore at midnight with a buddy and we go a good half a mile or more and I see the lights of the stores and houses and restaurants start getting farther away it is unnerving. Then we get to the buoy that is rocking back and forth from the swells, you can't help but think that we must resemble injured seals or large fish that are hurt and flailing on the surface of the water.
I think if you can keep your feet out of the water and accomplish the same thing, I would work for that set up first.
Thanks for the video and info. Always a thumbs up bro..
God Bless
+skyym3 wow what a crazy story. What a horrible way to go :/ I've done at night to while not nearly as far offshore as you but I completely understand the feeling. Almost helpless if anything were to happen. Don't think I'll be doing this float tube again but I will continue to dive. Only near shore maybe 100 yards away. I know there's still some danger but can't help getting back in
Fisherman's Life ... Ya, it got to me cuz I could see the emotion in the mans face as he was telling me what had happened. I also was about a week or two away from my open water check out dive and even though it wasn't a night dive, it was on my mind. Of course the dive master was always telling us in class that nobody ever even sees a shark, the big ones and it really was all just hype.
Thanks for the reply and all the video. All the best to ya.
God Bless
skyym3 That sounds horrifying
What a horrible story Jesus Christ.
Now u are shark bait!
Float tube + you tube = fisherman’s life. Thank you for inspiring me and many others to get out and fish
@Fishermans life Keep up the good work i am a 14 year old kid and live in pebble beach near monterey and i love to go fishing and these videos really help me and are so entertaining. Please keep uploading your my favorite UA-cam channel 😀😀
The butter zoom in and your face and his story, wow, what a great time.
Balls of steel! Then bleeds fish as a cherry on top! 🙏🏽
He's in up to 50-60 ft but the funniest/dangerous part was when he bleeds the fish then sticks it right under his ass for the sharks to come eat him lol... If it was anyone else I'd call him dumb lol
@Badass Skeptic ok I was exaggerating as were you but he's def not in 3 ft of water at his deepest he goes out to maybe 8-10 ft.
Sharks love that blood and dangling legs
I agree balls of steel their potentially could be great white sharks but oh well let's try it and I am going to try it with my feet dangling in the water man he is crazy but I love his videos
Not only are you on a float in the middle of the ocean, but then you bled a fish and strung it to your float for all the great whites to smell. I was on edge after that. Great video.
“There are sharks down here to, for real.”
5 min later, “alright imma bleed him rn.”
sharks arent actually attracted to blood nor can they smell it that well, its a myth
j I’ll believe the marine biologists who argue otherwise
@@visceraeyes525 You should probably not make comments on UA-cam.
G Varela no he’s right. Check out Mark Robers video on it.
tr4nzit No, he isn’t correct. While scientists say sharks aren’t attracted to human blood ( which seems suspect) they are indeed attracted to the blood of prey animals such as fish, seals etc.
Keep it up Bro.I'm much older than you but when I was a kid I used to get seasick every time on a boat. But I love to fish so much I never let it stop me. I remember one time fishing albacore close to a hundred miles off the So Cal coast and it was so rough I was puking and catching at the same time, wind wind puke, wind wind puke. Everyone else on the boat was teasing me but I ended up catching about 8 big albacore and became the hero to my family and friends for all the fish I gave everyone. I think I was about 14 and that was the worst seasickness I ever had. After a while I realized I didn't get sick nearly as often and not nearly as bad. After a couple years I not only stopped getting sick but started to never feel queasy. You'll get over it, I never had a devoted buddy who didn't also get over it. Over the last 40 years since, it's only happened a few times. Nobody is immune, sometimes when your anchored in the trough with the wind going one way and the current another way, even commercial fisherman will get queasy.But never give up, I promise you that you'll get over it.Some of my friends swear by candied ginger or ginger ale, it's better than getting doped up on the pills.Thanks for your great vids, I enjoy seeing the fish your catching farther north.Dave

Didn’t skip a beat. I died. It was glorious.
Finally someone who commented that moment 😂
I died just as well
" oh dude i don't have a measuring tape. " haha i laughed at that. Also loved the part when you zoomed in on the butter. Too funny. That fish you caught looks like good eatin. My stomach was growling watching you cook and eat that fish.
I have the exact same float tube. Steering gets easy. To turn, just kick with only one foot as you angle your hips. You need to add rod holders and a float for your fishing rod in case it accidentally slips out of your hand
you can DIY rod holders from 1.5"-2" PVC pipe about 12-14" long draw a center line down the length and drill a hole about 1" from the end and connect around tube with a bunji cord. Welcome to float tube fishing remember in the ocean you are part of the food chain;)
I'm holding a bar of butter while enjoying fisherman's videos.
Oh dude, I don’t have a measuring tape... that face! I’m dead 🤣
I watch all your videos and I realize that you are the Bob Ross of fishing!
Happy Birthday Fisherman’s Life!
These are so entertaining and everytime you hook a fish it's so exciting. You make me want to add fishing to my list of fun.
Good stuff Matts when you told me what you were going to do I was worried for you. Glad it worked out great. Love the blooper at the end,
My son turned me on to your you tube channel and I been loving it ever since. I really miss fishing in the ocean in Hawaii. Moved to the mainland, but you make do with whats around you so I fish a lot since the lake is just a block down the street.
aloha brahddah.
When I heard you saying "hella" before describing the situation. I know you were my people. Cali native through & through. ☀️🌞🏖🌅
Very true statement lol Born and raised in Cali but I've move to the midwest and I used hella a lot. Most people and friends always tell me you like that word little did i know at the time it was a Cali thing. Lol
Actually "hella" is a Northern Cali thing. Southern cali people don't use hella
@@LJ_S1K Can confirm this. Moved from the bay to SD and I get weird looks when I say "hella" lol
@@St3veoh I was born in the Bay and lived there until I was 7 but then the fam moved to Orange County California. I remember saying "hecka" a lot when I was a kid because "hella" was a bad word lol
Now I say "dude" a lot and I surf haha
Definitely two different cultures
Wait I say hella and I'm not from California
I don't fish very often (about 3-5x a year so I hardly have any time) but your videos really make me wanna go every day. Awesome content and your production is amazing for a 1 man crew. Much respect from the east coast! Keep the amazing content coming, brotha!!!
“...You know I got the avocado and you know what else I got...”
I laughed louder than I should have..😂🤦🏽♂️
It took me a while to realize lol dam
I have never seen a ling cod but its absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful fish!!!!
This seems pretty dangerous bro! Surprised no Shark came to check the scene!
it's safe until the landlord comes collecting.
That butter zoom in was hilarious!!! ahaha Im so glad that someone understands the "little bit of butter"
Honestly never clicked on a video this fast.
Yep, i even cracked my screen.
You would think that bringing just fishing gear onto an inflatable raft in the pacific ocean would be overwhelming enough, but you brought an entire camera crew worth of film shit just so we get to watch....props to you my guy
Next step is to catch a shark from the float tube, lol
Die Hard Fishing The shark's finna catch him instead 😂
haha, yeah lets hope not!
Great video!!! I love your channel!! Please keep them coming. It keeps making me want to do more adventurous fishing. Thank you
Maybe the shark will catch him.
LMAO
2:53 “...it is a lot more rough than I was expecting...” You say this so often! LOL! I love your videos. Just came upon them a week ago and am watching 2-5 a day. I’m gonna be sad when I’m all caught up.
you didn't get seasick because 2 reasons, #1 you had your legs in water, that let you have contact with water and improve feeling. #2 you was on an airboat which very flexible, not hard rock like kayak or normal boat. big different.
next time bring a line or a mesh bag to keep the fish, you was lucky when there no shark around , never bleeding a fish when you on a little boat like that.
I was thinking the same. It is crazy to bleed a fish on a small boat like this one
Man was crazy enough to not practice using that floaty tube in a kiddy pool. Next thing you know he is bleeding a fish just so he could wrestle a shark.
tan thien tai Tong yes you shoud no do dath it is veri deingurus HAHAHA LEARN TO TALK MORON
@@lukasnevermann8384 relax man. Ur a jerk. English is clearly not his 1st language asshole
Lukas Nevermann Jesus Christ man, calm the fuck down. Making fun of somebody’s speech who didn’t grow up speaking English is probably the lowest thing you could do, you fucking asshole.
Hands down bro your an amazing fisherman and cook! You should have your own show on tv. To many old guys have there own shows but they are very intelligent but boring to watch. You my friend are both fun to watch n extremely intelligent
Love ur channel very interesting and fun to watch
Just started watching your videos! I know nothing about fishing whatsoever! But never been so interested in all of your videos! Good content ✌
I've been envious of all your fishing trips, except maybe this one :)
Fisherman’s life is that cool uncle who’s always down!
I'm mainly subscribed just to look at the food at the end. Fish and avacado😍
Me, too. I'm hungry for fish with butter an advacodo now.
I'm happy to see you made it back safely. Thanks for all the good info on rock fish season, how to handle cods, and such. I will have a new 11 footer kayak soon. I wanna catch some delicious salt water fish and cook em up but will probably putz around the SF bay before I head to the ocean. Thanks for the inspiration.
i get stoned and watch all ur catch and cook videos, truly amazing
You are my favorite UA-cam fisherman.
Keepin it real bro.
For us poor folk.
Hey, you should do some lake catch and cooks! Maybe some panfish, trout, and some other species. :D
That cooked fish looked very mouth waterin delicious, so jelly!
Lol. That NorCal “hella” talk. Love it. Miss it.
How do you not love this? This is so cool. This definitely take some guts.
Great white bobber that must of been relaxing
Certified crazy. Glad you now have a kayak. Good work. Love your videos.
Nothin butter than that.
I’m gonna keep on commenting this on every vid until he pins it
redbull_ 01 never give up bud lol
redbull_ 01 underrated comment
I saw these on sale in Big5 sometimes. I always wanted to try it out on the bay but never tried it before. Glad to see someone has the same idea as me.
Your like a floating lure for the great white shark in that thing.
I quit fishing for while but your videos have inspired me to give it another try. Thanks for making awesome videos!
“My legs aren’t even in the water”
Shows pretty much both of his legs almost fully submerged
Great video man! I always watch you during my downtime at work, i hate fish but my mouth waters when you show your food off haha! keep on fishing
lmao.... I'm surprised you didn't sink with them brass balls.... float tube out there in that Pacific surf and then bleeding out that lingcod out there.... damn.... in case anyone is wondering, great white attack happen quite a bit out there....
That moment when your buddy sees that you are having trouble and just keeps laughing at you! Priceless!!! 23:59
#BUTTER GANG WOOP WOOP!!!
When I float tubed in my High School days the float was just a rubberized canvas sack that we would put a truck inner tube inside. And yes I did take mine out to the Ocean
on many occasions. And flipped over on many occasions. Good times.
Hella
Carter Rawson cool
Just stumbled onto this page today. And I've been binging most if not all your videos LOL. And I already know what you're talking about Ha-Ha
Don't bleed those fish while offshore on float tube. Your putting yourself at risk of sharks attacks. Next time don't do it. But nice video
He did say that he was not trying to attract any sharks
Foolish. I kayak fish in south cali. We all know not to do that.
And what a poorly thought out invention, if that fish holder thing is actually hanging in the water like a tea bag? Congratulations, you invented the Shark Caller!
Probably intended for lakes, etc. @@photographsbyal
I was gonna say, when i saw he was storing it in the back. That's probably not a very good idea.
really inspired by your videos..been fishing last week with strong wind and wave..i always bring some sweet/sour candy or chewing gum, and coffee..when i feel to get sea sick, i just eat/drink those..its really help me a lot
I would've murdered both filets, lol. Put that on rice with a little bit of kimchi, oh my
Definitely one of the best videos so far. Love this!!!
Float tube fishing in the Pacific in Northern Cali??? What are you fishing for Great White?
Looks delicious! And looks like alot of fun fishing off the float tube! Great video!
should a brought a trolling motor bro!
then he will have to registered the float tube.
i wonder if it has a serial number? Fisherman? ...Saw one at Lake Chabot with a troller. I guess you can get a lithium battery now which is super light and small. Looked nice and like it packed down hella small.
when you registered with dmv they will give you the number. it's not worth it for float tube let along trying to install the motor. . maybe a inflatable raft. i did it before it was worth it.
Joseph Saeteurn To get a CF number the vessel needs to have a serial number to begin with. You may be able to get one from the manufacturer if its not already on the tube.
Battery operated weed wacker...hmmm nice! ....I would have used a portable drill with a paint mix myself...
I love your enthusiasm for butter.
No!!! Please refrain from bleeding out the fish on small floaty . My boyfriend and I like your videos and would prefer if you stayed alive. We both have been so inspired by your videos and are trying to move to Cali to fish.
Marry him.
Marry him.
Oh maan today was so fun!! Congrats!! Long Live Butter!!
You have caught enough sharks.....Now its their turn to catch YOU!!
You got balls man. Shark bait for sure. Lol. Awesome man.
11:26 that's what she said
So this is the stuff I find myself watching between midnight and one in the morning 😂😂 anyone else?
Yep. Me as well.
I bet smoked with skin on would be awesome
I tried but I cant keep it lit.
bd78377 😅😅😅😅
Always hear you talking about a ling cod, now I finally know what they look like....enjoy. Love your videos.
Ahh if i had a penny for everytime Matts called it a nice fish...
Random Crap if I had a penny for every time he said "hella" haha
He said it 45744566454332 tines, I counted!
Benjamin Padilla Im going to miss the joke and be a nerd here. It would take roughly 23 years to say that at the quickest speed possible straight doing nothing else, and that is excluding breathing.
Great video mate.It helped my hangover .Much respect from Dublin Ireland.
Where's the Honda Element?
tommydocali yea been looking forward to it being the fishing mobile
I used one of these on a lake. Didnt have flippers, took an hour to kick back to shore. I would not use this in the ocean CRAZY lol. Love the video
wheres the new car??
joe paulson I wondered the same thing.
joe paulson same
same!
man you know what. i realy loved your river trout fishing vids or just trout fishong in general
2019 anyone?
This has hands down become my favorite UA-cam Channel of all time lol
Yoo I wouldn't be caught dead in the ocean
ice-bank-mice-elf 0 seriously haha
Let alone on a blow up pool toy that a damn seagull could pop
ice-bank-mice-elf 0 aint that the truth. River and lakes only. The ocean is not to be fucked with.
Great for bays...boat docks..great bass fishin👍great video
