When Fisherman's Life says, "idk if it's a good idea" this video going to be lit!

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 :)

"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"

Took all the safety precautions? You are a Scooby-Doo snack with feet dangling for Mr. Great White.

“There are sharks down here to, for real.” 5 min later, “alright imma bleed him rn.”

Your videos really relax me when I need it

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!

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

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.

There's something so cozy and calming about your videos. Really makes me wanna get out there and learn to fish.

Oh dude, I don’t have a measuring tape... that face! I’m dead 🤣

Balls of steel! Then bleeds fish as a cherry on top! 🙏🏽

21:04 Didn’t skip a beat. I died. It was glorious.

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!”

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!

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.

This seems pretty dangerous bro! Surprised no Shark came to check the scene!

Next step is to catch a shark from the float tube, lol

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.

When I heard you saying "hella" before describing the situation. I know you were my people. Cali native through & through. ☀️🌞🏖🌅

“...You know I got the avocado and you know what else I got...” I laughed louder than I should have..😂🤦🏽‍♂️

@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 KZfaq channel 😀😀

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

Happy Birthday Fisherman’s Life!

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

yo man this channel is so pure, im really happy i get to watch little pockets of life like this

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 :)

Honestly never clicked on a video this fast.

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,

I quit fishing for while but your videos have inspired me to give it another try. Thanks for making awesome videos!

I'm holding a bar of butter while enjoying fisherman's videos.

“My legs aren’t even in the water” Shows pretty much both of his legs almost fully submerged

Love ur channel very interesting and fun to watch

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!!!

Matts, thanks for this video. Been subscribed for a while and finally making my way through (literally all of your videos). I have been looking at smaller options for getting out into the bay for fishing since I can't afford a boat right now and saw you pull out the personal float! I can't wait to finish watching it and hear what you think about it.

I'm mainly subscribed just to look at the food at the end. Fish and avacado😍

Hey, you should do some lake catch and cooks! Maybe some panfish, trout, and some other species. :D

So this is the stuff I find myself watching between midnight and one in the morning 😂😂 anyone else?

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

Nothin butter than that.

I've been envious of all your fishing trips, except maybe this one :)

Float tube + you tube = fisherman’s life. Thank you for inspiring me and many others to get out and fish

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 KZfaq 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 get stoned and watch all ur catch and cook videos, truly amazing

Great white bobber that must of been relaxing

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.

Bro cracked me up while he showed the butter when the other guy was telling his story

I would've murdered both filets, lol. Put that on rice with a little bit of kimchi, oh my

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

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.

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.

Your like a floating lure for the great white shark in that thing.

Hella

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

Certified crazy. Glad you now have a kayak. Good work. Love your videos.

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....

Float tube fishing in the Pacific in Northern Cali??? What are you fishing for Great White?

Awesome video🙌 was waiting for it💪

Love watching your videos! Such a chill dude and funny!

You have caught enough sharks.....Now its their turn to catch YOU!!

#BUTTER GANG WOOP WOOP!!!

Always hear you talking about a ling cod, now I finally know what they look like....enjoy. Love your videos.

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.

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.

Lol. That NorCal “hella” talk. Love it. Miss it.

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.

I have never seen a ling cod but its absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful fish!!!!

should a brought a trolling motor bro!

Where's the Honda Element?

The butter zoom in and your face and his story, wow, what a great time.

You got balls man. Shark bait for sure. Lol. Awesome man.

11:26 that's what she said

2019 anyone?

That butter zoom in was hilarious!!! ahaha Im so glad that someone understands the "little bit of butter"

Definitely one of the best videos so far. Love this!!!

Ahh if i had a penny for everytime Matts called it a nice fish...

wheres the new car??

I watch all your videos and I realize that you are the Bob Ross of fishing!

How do you not love this? This is so cool. This definitely take some guts.

I bet smoked with skin on would be awesome

Yoo I wouldn't be caught dead in the ocean

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

I love your enthusiasm for butter.

Did I hear B O N E L E S S fillet

Longest video title you could make eh?

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

Just started watching your videos! I know nothing about fishing whatsoever! But never been so interested in all of your videos! Good content ✌

Got a little awkward there at the end.

Why don't you just by a small boat to fish in the ocean.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR AGES

You have no idea how much i love your videos

Bro, bro only kayakfishing or boat fishing in the ocean man, that inflatable toy is only for freshwater fishing man.

Plz give me shark fishing tips as a Christmas gift

man you know what. i realy loved your river trout fishing vids or just trout fishong in general

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

I would not go in that shark water

Get a proper fillet knife. You are a fisherman and knife you using is a bushcraft knife. You would not use 100 pund rod for catching rainbow trout right ? Right tools for right occasion.

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.

Love watching these vids after work 😎
