You dropped one on the first pull. Looked like a jumbo. Great video Matt

2:23 that edit was SUPER clean

This channel is so simple, without unnecessary flash, just a few timely edits. It's perfect for these kind of videos. You're really relatable, knowledgeable, and you're easy to listen to. I haven't fished in years, but man, I'm gonna get out there this summer now!

“San Francisco California, it’s a beautiful place although it is very expensive and there are a ton of rules I don’t really like”-That sums it up pretty well actually.

I discovered your channel about two weeks ago and have watched nearly every one of your videos. I don't fish, but watching your videos sure makes me want to get out there. Much love and respect from just down the coast in Shell Beach...fish on! Let's go!!!

It's such a blessin to have you take us on your adventures. Im glad you are ok now and fishing again . 🙏🙏🥰

Risking your life for us is true dedication to your viewers. Thank you for the upload.

Love the fishing / crabbing in the Bay Area as well as seeing the beautiful city by the Bay.. Thank you for posting the videos.

Matt I love when you fish off your Whaly Thank you so much for the video! I’m glad to see your feeling much better after your surgery!!

Matts your vids get better and better! Thrilled your healing so quickly. Much love and Blessings

Yo Matt! I’m from Mill Valley and have spent years out in the water surfing…seeing your videos makes me miss home so much (in San Diego now) I miss going out to Bolinas and the Patch with all the homies on their boats…nothing beats what we have up there. I respect your grind, and really hope to see you out there one day. Keep on killing it brotha!! Yessssirr

Thanks for taking us on your fishing adventures. Excellent content and editing.

Looks like you’re loving life, great to see you doing what you love and so happy

Looks like a low swell weekend. Putting the gear together and going shore fishing in my favorite coves. 2 mile hike before dawn. Black and yellows and Cans up there. Love it...

In San Francisco "get away from these fairys/ferrys" LOL

Terrific video! I fled San Francisco 25 years ago and am now in Alaska. But when I lived there I used to swim in the bay everyday. This video makes me really miss it. If you're going to fish and crab in the bay with a boat like that you better have a lot of experience and be a good swimmer.

I've watched almost all your videos and enjoyed them all, I like the fact that your videos are well edited and importantly you don't swear so it's kid friendly...My 8 year old son loves your channel as well and I don't have to worry about any foul language. Thank you and keep the videos going! Hope to get out to SF one day and bump into you on the water!

Awesome...You make it look so easy. The bay at San Fran is a monster if the tides are against you. You're an excellent angler. Thanks

That gimbal gives us a lot more context into how how aggressive that water is! Always upping your cinematography game. Thanks for the great content, Matt!

I’m from the bay too. Thanks for bringing us along the bay!!

Last week I stumbled across your channel and videos and got 'hooked'. Very informative and fun to watch. Keep the reels coming!

Thanks for doing these types of videos. After seeing a similar video you did i started going out of fort bragg in an inflatable kayak. As long as you keep your witts about you its mostly safe. Happy fishing to all and to all a hard bite.

Once again, a useful video. I have a crazy friend who kayaks around and under the Golden Gate Bridge. I’m sending him this video.

Fantastic morning! Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome set up with the Gold Gate behind you.

Good pointers! Only thing I do differently in my craft is I use my gaff to grab the line under the bouy for the crab pots. That way I have control over it before I put the boat in neutral to retrieve.

Love your videos man. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing

Thank God you are still using your boat instructing many, your like Jesus as you easily catch numerous fish. Your show is extraordinary.

Love your videos man! I live in Fremont, work in San Rafael, you got me into crab snaring early this year and I've been in Pacifica the past few weekends hooping and snaring on the pier for dungies. I know better than to drop a tax return on a tiny boat and give this a shot without any sea legs, but you make it look like a ton of fun!

Loved the energy!

Another great video Matt. Thanks!

Looks awesome & fun as always

fishermans life 💯you're great Matt.

nice video, i love seeing the bay. that beach just outside the bay past the bridge is one of the last places i went with my brother

Been watching you regularly for a few years now. Really love watching this stuff. I'd love to see ya catch some Walleye sometime soon! Always a favorite of mine.

You are my hero bro 😎 I’ve been watching for awhile. Love the content and easy to understand. Keep up the great work!

Was on Pacifica pier today. Only one keeper but man it was absolutely perfect!! Hot no wind crab coming up great day!!!

Solid day Matt! Congrats!

Gonna try and post a comment on time I love the bay I love how u fish there all the time I love to learn from you are like the best teacher thank you man gonna buy some merch soon

Lingcod/rockfish with sand dabs charter my boy lol. We’ll definitely sell it out asap.

Awesome as always! Cheers from Patagonia!

You're living the life man, hope to do what you do someday

That's what's up good timing on that one I could see white caps in the distance for awhile and I k ow you were focused I am the same way on the water the ocean is a gift that we all have to respect you always show respect in all your videos even when it gets personal you have my respect and I still hope one day you come up north to do some crabbing and fishing in Oregon southern oregon coast we got you covered !!! Tight lines !!!!

Hello fisherman’s life! I love your content and I can’t wait for you to upload!!

The view going under the GG bridge never gets old!

Thank you so much for this informative video 😊

Awesome vid. In the northeast I have very good luck using strips of flounder belly. Try giving strips of halibut as bait if you ever run out of bait. 🤘

Good to see you back

Yee! Our city is so beautiful! Another great video 😁

I won't be able to attend that event in August but hopefully in 2023! Love all your videos. Unfortunately I can't go on the ocean (motion sickness and tried just about everything to prevent that) but I do go to the eastern Sierra's. S.F. is about 500 miles from where I live but possibly meeting up with you in person will be worth the trip!

Ok you guys are gonna think I'm crazy but that Halibut skin is beautiful... You need to halibut skin wrap your car, make halibut skin printed bandanas, ties, chuck Taylors , sun glasses frames, I would be at least one of each. California halibut skin ball cap. back pack, purses.. LEGENDARY... just sayin.

What a fun day. God Bless you.

Excellent VIDEO 📹 👏 👍

I live in SF and I have wondered whether going out in a small boat is even advised. This video answered my question.

be safe out there matt nice catch great dinner for sure

Great video. Good to see you out and about. Got my Yak loaded for tomorrow on the Gulf side of SWFL. Hoping for Pompany and or Trout or Mackerel.

I just got a Whaly 370 last week. Thanks for inspiring me!

Fun video, Matts, thank you!

Man I Love SF... My Favorite City in the world. Lots of Great Memories :)

Such an awesome video man!

This is what i need to know. Thankz appreciated

Mats I just want to say over the years I appreciate you trying little different editing styles (like the anchovie transition etc) ik some people don’t like it but as an editor who loves playing with vfx, I love seeing you try different stuff out. Keeps the videos fresh too. Tight lines!

i used to stand up all the time in my little RIB. A tiller extension handle really helps.

Great video as always. Keep it up

Subbed, brother. I'm a soon-to-be new (and first time) small boat owner / aspiring fisherman. Nowhere near the ocean so lakes & rivers will be it for us, except for perhaps an annual trip. Just wanted to thank you for being a helpful source of information.

Looks beautiful brotha!! So surreal you fishing and the building behind sheeeeeshhhhhh! Greetings from bakersfield ca

Another great video. Nice boat too

My buddy has a 14 ft aluminum boat we launch from Richmond. We can stay out till @3 hiding from wind behind brooks island, or the rock wall into the harbor. 3rd hook run a flasher a hoochie w hook and 2 on bait.

Great video, thanks

I love it bruh. Keep on fishing 🎣

Hey matt!! I love all the videos. I'm a 12 year old fisherman from santa cruz and LA. Ive been watching your videos since i was about 8 or 9 and you got me hooked on fishing. I'm heading over to san fran from santa cruz for the street fair and I cant wait!!. Thnak you for all the amazing content and inspiring young fishermen like me!!!!

Dude the thumbnail for this vid is 🔥

nice going , I use to live and do fishing by the Bay, too

From Daly City and just found your channel. I usually watch guys from south Florida, didn’t think to look for subscribers in the Bay lol anyway love the channel

Your episode in a 12 ft'r nice Thanks bro... And August 6th 2022 Fisherman's Life Street Fair , let's go Matts , Im so there bro

the belly is also where you gaff them if you want the meat to spoil fast. soon as the stomach or intestines are ripped it starts to spoil, you eat them fast so it isn't a concern. if your not eating them that day clean them there.

Glad you looked into that crazy tide situation, your old vids gave me a bit of anxiety lol

Nice day on the water!

Another nice video 👍🎣 still waiting on you to try out that salted squid 🔥 cut up your desired size pieces and dap them with a paper towel to get out the moisture and leave em in a container of salt for about 2 days for best result and you will definitely notice the difference 🔥🔥

Awesome video

I missed fishing that SF bay and outside the gate. In your vid where you are showing setting up your pole near the bay bridge tower on the SF side, there is a hole there where I use to wireline troll for striped bass with hoochies on the bottom. Also outside the gate near mile rock, there is rock close to shore where you can fish for rockfish or blues mid-bottom.

Love that little boat ...

Love your videos! Would be so cool if you did some multi species fishing videos!

I like your old style of fishing videos
