Appreciating the moment is easily forgotten but easy to do when you look at all the things you have❤ glad the baby is healthy! Thanks for trying the kelp chili crisp and supporting. You paved the way for the rest of us in the bay💯

Matts congratulations on your healthy new addition. You take calculated risks to produce these videos but please recalculate how much risk you should take going forward so that you can be around to watch them all grow.

Bro thank you so much, about 2 years ago I came across your vids. They inspired me to activate that fisherman inside of me that I didn’t know was even in me. Since then I have gotten off my rear end and have been fishing my heart out and actually have been catching a ton of freshwater fish. It has been like a new reason to look forward to things again ! Thank you so much for inspiring me, I think fishing will be a part of me for the rest of my life now 🎉

Had me on the "EDGE" of my seat watching you scale that cliff. Awesome catch Matts and superb content as usual.

Your creativity for fishing keeps your content so much fun to watch. Best KZfaqr alive.

Minute 17...I know exactly how that feels. I have a nine and seven year old. I wish I could spend more time with them even when I'm with them. The present may be hard at times, but even those moments become precious once they pass. Savoring and enjoying every single moment with the kids is the best you can do. Congrats on your daughter's birth and I'm sure the future holds many great memories for your family. God bless.

This episode had it all man, you're not only a fisher but inventor and a Dad and you have so much to be proud for. I love that you're supporting OCL as well. Stay safe you've got a lot to live for 🙏

Keep on fishing . Wow . You took this to another level with technology. But also raising the bar with risk taking with your climbing . Be carful . I’m a long time follower of yours . I want to continue to watch so don’t get hurt . Take care Roy

It’s crazy how that’s exactly what I think about when I go fishing, looking back and reflecting on my life while appreciating what I have, and realizing how fast they will grow up.. then I go home and hug my wife and kids! 😢

You are right on about the youngsters in the family. Appreciate every moment you can with them. At 68 and having lost a son a few years back, I can only think of the memorable times we had together. On a happier note the Ling looked delicious, thanks for taking us along.

I totally love your excitement an congratulations on your new baby girl. I also know what you mean and getting all emotional about your kids is so understanding . Enjoy them now as they get older and pull away it harder on the parents than the kids that is for sure. Thanks for sharing your videos. My boyfriend and I totally enjoy them.

Matt, the dad in me is yelling at my phone telling you to “ get back , stop going forward, that is so dangerous! “ Please think of your family at home, don’t need something bad happen just for a cool video! 🙏🏼❤️💯 awesome fish, great video, glad everything worked out great for you!

Before I had kids a mom I know said, "Kids just break your heart." I asked her what she meant and she talked about how they were just always growing away from you. I didn't get it at the time, but now that my girls are closing in on twenty, I've understood what she was saying so many times over. Breaks your heart and fills it of any afternoon.

When you have kids, it gives you a better perspective on life, it’s incredible how much it changes you for the better. Good vid!

Matt another epic video it just shows you're a human being and a new dad, congratulations by the way you're gonna be an awesome dad. Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

one of the most relaxing and calmest fisherman on youtube, yet one of the craziest fisherman on the planet LOL

Bro the lengths you will go to make content does not go unnoticed. I''ve tried to fish similar cliffs like that and it's damn terrifying to walk down so props to you for doing it and making another great vid man! Also, congrats on your new baby daughter!

My daughter is 3 now just turned 3 in august and let me tel you the passion in your voice and eyes for your children is amazing not a lot of us good fathers left any more it seems at least not in my city

Matt, your words could not have come at a better time, thank you for sharing your family moments and how much they mean to you as a father and husband. Helped me gain some perspective on my life and calm myself down and relax and enjoy life

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE THIS MAN!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love how excited he still gets after all the fish he's caught 🐟Pure PASSION🐟

I want you to know that I watched the entire video without fast forwarding…that was the hardest thing I’ve done all day! I think you should submit this video in a film festival, it was that well done. I like how you respected the Ling Cod and I like the respect you have for the time that you have with your children, they grow up way too fast. I wish you much love and much blessings.

God I love how real and transparent you are!! Thank you for sharing! I have a daughter too and it’s was nice hearing what you had to say! Very true

Congrats Matts on the newborn, you are the man! I’ve been watching you for a long time and your videos never get old keep it up bro!

This is what I call dedication!!!..... I love fishing but I'm NOT going to risk my life for it!!! Amazing adventure, thank you for sharing it with us!!!..... YOU keep on doing it so 'I' don't have to!!!... Balls of steel dude!!! Edited to add: I didn't know where this video was going , as I commented half way through, but what you said about your kids is more true than you know.... I'm an old man, my only child is grown up married and has gifted me two beautiful granddaughters now 11&12yrs. old.... It seems like only yesterday that my own baby was born, I blinked and suddenly she's all grown up and a mother, now the next time I blink my grandbabies will be grown and maybe mothers also, or who knows, maybe I won't be around for that; but the moral of this is.... You are right, enjoy those moments with your kids, they come and go all too quickly and in the end those memories are all you will take with you to the 'other side'....Thank you for sharing that with us also, as for you getting emotional, that tells me YOU get it....Love to you and your family.......

Dude congratulations on your newest addition to your family! Cherish every moment! For what it's worth you are big part of why I started my channel! Because of that I have hours of of my dad and my son on our boat he passed away this man but I am extremely grateful I have all those hours of footage. My son was only two and a half and he can still pick out Papa out of a photo and it makes me happy that he also will have those memories forever. As far as being emotional it just shows your a good dad! God bless!

Another fantastic video for the ages. Great reminder to appreciate all of your blessings.

What a beautiful ending to this video! Thanks for doing what you do for the community man! I love the videos

You can’t hold onto those beautiful moments in real time. But surely you can cherish them & hold onto the memories. congratulations on your daughter! Thank you for the consistent, quality content!

I need you to know: Your editing is excellent. From an editing standpoint, your editing is Very nice. Whoever edited this deserves both props and a raise.

Enjoy those moments. My daughter is getting married & my boy is turning 21. Listen to these songs by Trace Adkins. Just Fishin' & You're gonna miss this. They will sum it all up. Love your channel. Much Love...

Congratulations Matt you are a great father happy for you that you are happy enjoy this moment forever

It is hard not getting caught up in looking back at how great those moments were, and you lose the "now". I have 10 year and 8 year old girls, and I love thinking about how sweet and innocent they were at infant to now. I tried to live in the moment and appreciate it, but sometimes I catch myself looking back as if it was the peak of goodness. But every day and every stage is beautiful. I love that you expressed your appreciation of those perfect moments in life. GOOD JOB!

Great video! Congratulations on the new addition! Daughters are special for a Dad!

I know exactly where you caught that fish just by where you were prepping everything and the big rock island in front of the spot. Such a cool spot to just enjoy the view wouldn’t have ever imagined someone would fish that spot cuz of the terrain but damn great fish. Congrats.

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 ON THE BABY. Sending many blessings 🙌 thank you for sharing your stories with us the viewer

I worked at a seafood restaurant back when I was in school and they only used cotton seed oil to fry all the seafood. Congrats on the new little one! You are very right…Cherish every minute with the little ones. You blink and they are grown! Stay safe and God Bless! Joe in MS

First he takes his life into his hands with the cliff, then goes and does it again by taking the footage home to his wife. Not sure which was more dangerous.😬😆 Taku’s chilli paste looks fantastic btw! Going to be picking some up myself.

Congratulations!!! Funny as a father of a 22 year old, 19 year old and a 5 year old you words really hit me. Enjoy those moments!!

WoW !! Aside from your Crazy cliff (edge of your seat) fishing, and new gadgets ; its your Big Heart that keeps me waiting for the next video 🎣💗🙏

I always appreciate when a KZfaqr gives love to another KZfaqr vs competing. Plenty of 🐟🎣 fish to share out there, might as well come together, learn and share from one another vs throw shade when it’s good people. Taku is good people’s and so are you!

You're a Great Dad, I've done the kids growing up thing, and you will ace it. You're down to earth .

Congratulations on your baby Matt, couldn’t be more happy for you. Take it all in and rewatch your videos, a lot of your time is going to be missed out on the water but so many more important memories are going to be made with the little one!

remember you get to relive those moments with your kids when they have kids. I am watching my two year old grandson all weekend and it is great

Congrats on the new baby! I love slip bobbers! Frill has cost me a small fortune but they are worth it. Bobber fishing in 10,20 ,30 feet of water 👍

What a hack for ling!!! I does feel good when something you created works!!! Great videos and being a dad is a blessed life, from dad to dad. Thank you!

Thank brother I really needed to hear that keep it up man and keep that positive mind set

HELL YEAH!!! I friggin yelled out when you got him in LET'S GO !!! That was epic !!!

Those moments you talked about is the ideal time to appreciate but also to to give thanks to the ONE who made it all possible 🙏 😊

Always treasure those moments,, my kids are grown up, my middle granddaughter turned 21 Saturday, I have a great grandauther 7 months old,

Another great vid and congrats on the baby girl. We need more people like you in this world so I’m glad to hear you just had your third baby.

fishing channel getting me choked up about life that's the content i'm here for

congratulations Matt sending health and happiness to your new arrival.

We already love the content. Remember you're father and that's more important than providing us content.

This one’s a real nail biter Matts! Beautiful looking fish made it all worth while, love the message you had at the end of the vid. Also congrats on the baby girl!!

Fisherman’s life, dad life, enjoying life and risking life. Best video! Congrats on the new addition to the family too

Dude , just fishing off that cliff is nuts !

Those small moments in time is what you will remember the most...especially in one's twilight years...

Loved the Vid got a lil tear In my eye myself brother your so right ❤ gotta live in the moment more appreciate the ppl you love most

It’s definitely bitter sweet. I have those moments probably once or twice a week. My daughter is 6 and my son is 2 and it’s just crazy to know that they definitely grow up fast.! I definitely tear up when these moments happen so it’s okay to cry because it’s tears of happiness that you get to be the lucky one to raise them and nurture them the absolute best you can and see them become more independent while doing so.! Thanks for always making videos so inspiring and motivating.!

Congrats on your new little one! You could not have described what it feels like as they get older any better. My two daughters are 26 and 22 doin their own thing and doing well. You will transition from the day to day worries and concerns of parents with smaller kids to truly having companions and family that you enjoy as they grow into functioning adults. Then u get the atta boy!!!

For many reasons this was such a great episode!

Love the energy, spirit and passion, Matts

Favorite youtuber. So genuine, informative, and kind

Yes... It's called being in the moment 🥰... Enjoy every single one of those moments 💯

I was laughing out loud while you were trying to land that ling. Especially when you tried to grab it. We have all been in that spot over the years. I was tensed up just watching. Keep up the great content.

Congratulations Matts for your new baby girl. I agree 100% on enjoying their youth/innocence. Im 46 and both my boys are now in their 20’s, i wish i could go back sometimes to when they were kids. Awesome episode, and nice Ling Brother 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

This might be one of your best videos to date. Keep going 🤘🏻

That's the type of conversation I appreciate.

Man I just got a lingcod a couple good rock fish the other day watching you fry some fish makes me want to fry some up and I feel you 100% on the feeling of watching your kids grow up and the thought about them growing up to be adults 😢

Matt, you choking me up too bro. I appreciate you man. Keep doing your video's because people like me enjoy them.

One of my new favorite videos keep up the good work

Congratulations wishing you both peace and many more blessings with your baby girl. Salute

Man, I love how hyped you get when you get a good fish!

I try and take in all the moments your talking about. Makes me sad also that they have to loose their inasences. Much love to you and yours. Enjoyed all these years watching you fish

Awesome! Incredible location and catch !

I love the fishing community! Congrats on your daughter!❤

Love your videos, excited for that catch!

That's when they become your friends. Like those fishing trips with your dad.

I had one like that on a couple of years ago, but a wave came up and took it off the hook, then another and washed him away. Glad you got yours. Love watching your videos.

Can’t wait to see the first catch and cook with your kids!

May our Lord give you a long life for you to enjoy your grandchildren growing up, its a hard thing to " let go " of your children. But think about it this way, you grandchildren will give you all the love while their parents (your kids) will have to do all the work XD Joking aside... when you feel humble and emotional watching your innocent children know that you have become a great parent.

Appreciated the little advice about the fleeting moments. Needed to hear that 💜
