Fisherman’s Life - A guide to key phrases: Hell yeah. Fish in butter with avocado. Oh no I dropped the food again. Maaaaaaan that’s good. 😂😂

😂 the net struggles , congrats man! That's awesome, especially out there with those whales too! So sick

Love the video... hate that you dont have a PFD and the motor kill switch on you! You go over the last thing you will see before you go under will be the Butter Boat headed towards the horizon without you. Really enjoy your sense of wonder and joyful enthusiasm. Wear your safety crap and ensure that we will be able to watch you for a long time. Dont wanna hear about the KZfaqr who's legacy was footage of him going overboard never to be seen again. Beautiful fish, beautiful scenery.

Bashes the fish 4 times "Guys, I'm keeping this one" No kidding

Said it before and I’ll say it again best content on KZfaq

bleeding the gills in the water out there, expect a visit from some bigger, bigger fish haha.. great video tho!

I’m a 33 year old mum that runs a beauty therapy business from home and this is where I find myself every day.. watching this guy fish. I think this looks like life as it should be lived. So relaxing to watch and interesting too.

you better work on that bonk bro. Put a little more stank on it.

Congrats! And no seasickness! Get a auto inflate life vest and wear your radio.. if you go over trolling by yourself you are in real trouble. Your boat will keep going without you.

I saw a youtube notification and its 3 am and I knew it had to be fisherman's life.

"let's bonk this fish real quick...." Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk Bonk

“Got my fish bonker, got it clipgoo gotit cligood got it..” 😂

Watched this 50mins ago but stuck around to read comments while I replay it...anyone else? Lol I still can’t tell if Matts is funny on purpose 🤣 “Fish Bonker”! 😂 “Got a bloody deck out here!” 😅 Lawd!

Dude that whale was freakin gnarly! So glad you caught it on camera. Must be hella trippy seeing such a humongous animal in live action like that only a couple football fields away. And congrats on the first salmon in the boat that sequence had everyone biting their nails lol. Another great video brotha thank you and Godspeed ✌️

I like how happy he was to “bonk” he fish😂. Seem like he enjoyed that part more than he fight😂😂😂

You should make a shirt that says “Hell Yeah Lets Go””! Also those 🐋 had me hyped.

I got so worried a shark was gonna pop up since he started bleeding the Salmon.

Heeeelllll yeaaaa!

I cracked up at the end when you were all pumped up after landing the last fish. You were all like "hell yeah , that's how we do it....let's bonk him real quick" cut to black scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Andrew! Thanks for the call! This episode would never happen without you! HELL YEAH!

Congratz on the first Butter Boat salmon brother!!! You had me on the edge of my seat, bringing in that first big salmon that you landed. Got to love hooking up with one last fish, when retrieving your bait, to head in for the day.

I was about to go to sleep then I saw the notification. Not gonna miss any vid

Nothing compares to a beautiful salmon in your net , except a beautiful salmon on your plate and belly !

9:40 1st keeper King Salmon caught gibberish hahahahha my girl and I were busting up she was half asleep laughing she said you can tell his adrenaline is pumping! Great video Matt.....Lets GOOOOO!!!!

Dude your channel is epic, I love fishing did a lot when I was a kid with my dad, not so much now but you've inspired me to get back out there so thanks. Also your "bonker" is called a priest I know you already know but I had to say

Love how you make it feel like we are in the boat with ya! 🐳 were awesome! Can't wait for the next one.

8:30 "We did it!" Man... last time i watched this was when the vid first came out... You've gone so far. Awesome job. also hilarious hearing you say you'll get used to the sea-sickness eventually, then watching vids 2 years later with you throwin up.

I like that you bled and cleaned the fish instead of letting it rot in its own digestive fluids. That will be prime eats

Good going, no excitement like your first chinook! Another tip is that you actually can turn off your trolling motor while fighting the fish. Especially with an 5.8/1 retrieve rate and no flasher. It's not helping you when you leave the motor unmanned and are turning in circles. When you turn towards the fish it is causing more problems than helping.

I have to be up for work in a couple hours... but I couldn't pass up a new fishin vid!! Happy Friday! 🐟

hey by the way, when netting by yourself it is super easy to get them in close here's a great tip if fishing off the right side of the boat. kick your motor to the left slightly this will make you do circles to the left keeping your fish to the right rear the back of the boat allowing your plan (sitting on the cooler netting right handed to go off flawlessly) also let them tire out a little more. I know its super exciting but if you have a good hook set the time is on your side. keep them at about 10-15 feet circle left with them on the right and wait till they are done fighting. plan out your fights to last 10-15 minutes, relish the battle. cant wait to see some more. (:

Hey Matt, I met a friend of yours today in Harbor Springs Michigan today while he was fishing a lil Walmart rig off the doc. I can’t remember his name, nice guy. Love your videos, feels like a small world. Tight lines to ya brother!

That whale sighting was incredible man! Loving the boat vids too!!!

Man i love this channel! Awesome and please be safe out there 👍🏻🔥✌🏼👑👑👑

Quick trick when landing/Fishing by urself on a boat. Put the Rod back in the Holder and Hand line the fish the rest of the way using the leader/Line, this will keep him from coming off and will help you feel the fish and makes it easier to land !!! Great Videos !!

Glad you didnt fall out the boat netting. Good vid. I never fished before, but watched ur vids for a year. Went to tahiti last week. Family went for jet ski. I stayed home (airbnb). Decided to try fishing on a small kayak. Caught 2 small little fish and threw back. I had the same feeling like you, catching fish for the first time!

Fisherman : I know you want to!! Fish : .__. Beg your pardon

Nice catch, it takes some practice and timing to net or gaff your own fish.Couple suggestions. Get a spare gas tank, that's twice now I have seen you questioning if you have enough fuel. I'm assuming your using a plastic tank with a quick disconnect, get a second one even if you need to get a smaller one and it will also come in handy balancing your boat in a swell.Also, there is multicolored braid that is a different color every 10 feet, I'm sure your tackle store buddy can order you some. Some day when you have some time you might want to drag that diving plane over a sandy bottom with no hooks and find out exactly how much scope you need for a given depth. I have a feeling it's a lot more than your guessing. You can log the depths at different speeds and have a better idea because if your bait isn't in the zone your wasting your time.Keep it up bro, I really enjoy watching your vids.Dave

Says their delicate little guys then proceeds to drop it from 3 feet in the air, smashing it into the side of the boat!! Clean release, lol!!!😂😅😢😢

That's was so Absolutely grate to have seen you this video. Catching two samen 🎣 🎣 fish one good see by yourself. God bless you 😜☺️

14:07 bro...bro!...BRO!!!

Lol he really wanted to use that fish bonker thingy

nice catch. they're definitely out there this year. I remember catching mine on the retrieve. one of the most memorable fishing moments of my life. ended up landing a 3ft/25lb king. keep it up the great vids!!!

Another rough way to know your rig is at the right depth that makes it much quicker to get your line back to the right depth; count how many one foot pulls it takes for your worm gear line guide makes a full trip back and forth,. Then next time you drop down you can just count out how many times the guide makes a round trip. This way helps out a lot of you are unable kayak and need to drop while moving

Let’s Go Matts, great catches ! This is the video that is going to get you way past 400K 😀... first salmon on the butter boat and great whales shots !

Nice vid, the whale was amazing and scary to see because I know how it feels to be on a small boat in the ocean like that!

You were not alone in that boat... I was with you in spirit...! Just wish I could have helped more! ;) Congrats on the nice catch, and enjoy them!

Great video commentary. I’m in NorCal as well and it’s nice to see you fishing some of the spots I’ve been to. Stay safe!

Stayed awake until 3am just for this!

9:41 through 9:45 😂😂 what are u saying

Whale at 6:48 and 15:17 was an awesome sight. Many of us who have never been at sea might never witness such a sight in our lifetime.

Love it!! Dude, my whole family just absolutely live watching you. I definitely miss fishing with my dad! Thanks for the memory!

Watching him use that net with one hand on the rod was the most stressful minute of my life lmaoooo

Got my fish bonker 😂 i love ur channel man

i think this is my favortate video of yours so far, maybe my favorite video on youtube. that first catch i was so sure it was going to slip off but you managed to pull him in, the whales, and the last lucky fish, man all around awesome video.

Matt, congrats on the salmon. I wanted to tell you I just bought two waterproof drones! One cheap one for like 59.00 and one more expensive one specially equipped fishing drone with a 4K camera. One drone is for crashing, (trainer) and one for cash (maybe I can use the 4k drone for weddings and real estate jobs). The fishing drone has a hook release feature and was about 119.00.

Oh Dang my boy just released a Vid...Holler!

2 AM and i had to watch a new vid

Best fishing channel on KZfaq IMO. Your excitement for fishing is palpable! Congrats on the first salmon from your own boat!

Your excitement in this video makes it one of your best!

Came for the fishing, stayed for the whale!

YOU..!!! Made me jumping dude... My internet is logging and the video stop from time to time, then when I saw the part you almost had the fish, then the video STOP..WTF..!!! then video continue and I saw the salmon...F***..!!!! YES..!!! That was like HOMERUN..!!!!!!

This episodes chop full of surprises! White knuckle, heart pounding, jaw dropping excitement level over 9000!

Hell yeah! Congrats! Busting me up over here at the end "let's bonk him real quick". You're so stoked, I love it.

I don't even fish but I love these vids

Nothing better than a solo trip sometimes

Great video! Glad the patch is working so well for you!

Good job! I saw you that day trolling around the buoys around 11. I was headed back in from getting limits at Pedro point. Glad you made it out and got some!

Let's goooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Dude... Great recording. Please idle your motor when you get a fish...you can keep tension BY REELING Also...better if you keep the net out if the water until you need it! The fish CAN SEE IT. Fight the fish, tire it out THEN use your net when it is close and tired. Besides that you did great. Great videos!

Awesome catch Matts, so happy for you great video as always thanks. I need to take my boat out there sometime soon.

Your enthusiasm is special and really cool to watch. Thanks for the great videos!

*”Butter might be involved”* MIGHT... We all know exactly what that means.

You're gonna need a bigger boat...

Hey I am very thankful for you making videos because my dad and I learn a lot from your videos and we have a great time fishing in the Bay Area

9:40 "Got it put... get... got it put... get..." 😂😂 Doesn't matter bro! You got it!!!👍👍

Yesterday I was fishing and I hooked close to a 35/40 lb king salmon but line snapped at the the boat....😭😭😭

Bright pink meat 😂

Awesome vid. Glad you made the journey. Nice catch!

Great videos man and narration of what's going on. It's obvious to see you love what you do. Really fun to watch

“butter might be involved” If it’s a fisherman’s life video butter WILL be involved

Butter ‘might’ be involved he says

Man, I laughed so hard when you tried to 'bonk' the second salmon while in the box. Great video! Loved it!

Man seeing you and your excitement is the best, haha. Way to go! Keep doing what you do! Much appreciated for the tips and video as well! 🙌

Who else doesn’t eat seafood but wouldn’t mind trying the fish he cooks up?

“Got it poot goot” “Got it poot goot” lmao😂

Congratulations Matt! Well deserved. RI really enjoyed this video, thank you.

Couldn't do California but the view and all the saltwater fish are awesome to see. Congrats on salmon... solo in a 12' boat. I can't believe that boat floats with the stones it takes to use that in the open water of the Pacific... yeah I'm jealous...

Damn I’d be so scared if I saw that whale. And dang dude you’re so lucky you didnt lose that salmon. Your net skills need work....a lot of work!!! Congrats on catching that salmon though man!!! Im from Michigan and I have done quite a bit of salmon fishing.

great video great advanture as always :) thank you for sharing this expirience with us!

Get in my net! Love the zoom in shots of the rod tip banging. Keep rocking!!

No fires, no avocados. Disappointing..

Lol ur bud is right you got huge cajones. Especially throwing all those end trails into the water. Hell yeah! I really enjoy ur vids.

I very much appreciate and enjoy your informative and exiting videos. Hell yeah!

Aww hell yeahhhh!!!! You probably won't see this comment, but you inspired me to start finishing. It probably seems like a big call to make but I'm serious. Literally knowing nothing about fishing I went and bought my first rod. Cost me about $40. But she's holding up strong. Even landed my first fish, which happened to be a small reef shark! (I think it was called a dogfish). But anywho, don't stop uploading vids brother. I'm always keen for one of your uploads!

Awesome video. Great day out on the water. I am so jealous right now.

what an awesome day, congratulations! i felt the same way when i caught my first cobia, i had mom with me, she said it was the biggest fish she had ever seen,

Way to go! Great fish. Thanks for the video.

Dude you totally inspired me. Been out to the coast a few times and finally caught one! A 14" rock greenling. I gotta run to Safeway and grab me an avocado and little bit of butter! Thanks for the vids, they're a wealth of info and entertainment. Keep up the good work!
