ya know what's weird, there are a ton of beginner vids and trout vids on YT but Matts comes out with one and I'm all in lol. It doesn't even matter what you're doing at this point we just love watching you man. Thanks for the content, wish there was a new vid every couple days!

Fishing will never be the same without my brother since he passed, we both loved u since we were little kids, ill continue for him for sure

Finally, no one can teach me fishing. Like theres so many rods and lures and types of fish and so many many things. And most youtubers make "begginer guides" on how to catch these giant fishes. Talking as if you already know the basics. THIS IS A BEGGINER VIDEO. Thank you so much...

Takes me back to your OG days when you would fish rivers and streams and do a "catch and cook". Love this version of educating the first timer! Strong work brah!

wooow its been years since ive watched this guy do his thing my teenage years all i did was work parttime get high as heck off some weed and watch this guy fish Awesome times

This video reminds me why I subscribed in the first place years ago. Hope for more of this!

Honestly, in all my years watching KZfaq since 2007 in the Daxflame, nigahiga, Fred days til now, your channel has to be one of if not my absolute favorites. Whats crazy is, I don't even fish, never really have, AND I dont like the taste of fish really, never eat it other than the random sushi day once or twice a year. That must mean its you that I enjoy watching. I hope to be able to meet you one day (Im in NC) because you are such a cool dude, been watching since the beginning. You channel has recently been inspiring me to get out more into nature, so maybe I'll wind up doing my first catch and cook one day, solely dedicated to you :)

Been fishing for 40 years, but I just love watching your videos, so the subject doesn't really matter. The scenery and your personality keeps me watching every video you post. Many thanks for another great video.

Been fishing for 20+ years. But yet here I am watching Matts teach me the stuff I already know😂 love your stuff man. No matter what it is

Vintage Fisherman's Life! I was about to say, "No avocado?", but then it appeared, lol. Thanks for another awesome vid! I've been watching for exactly 5 years now!

I usually never comment on the videos. But i just wanted to say i have been watching you since your catch and cook days with your “just a little bit of butter” days. Anyways im so glad your videos are still awesome, exciting, adventurous and yet informative that helps alot. Legit i never went fishing (only camping in forest) i just loved and enjoyed watching your fishing videos. But you and this video will be the reason why i will be going fishing my next long weekend. Much love and respect brother 🫡♥️🙏🏼

Yo I ain't watched your vids for 3 years. Was a real secret subber and enjoyed this like an old dog coming home to its pack!

Love this video! I’m not a new fisherman but I’m still a novice, so I appreciate getting insight from someone more experienced such as yourself. It would be awesome if you make another video similar to this but on how to start rocking fishing! As always love the videos sending love from SJ!!!

Hey Fishermans Life.... I just want to say thank you this video. I am currently in The Active Duty Navy and I always change location so friends are limited to none. I always watch fishing videos like yours and Ace, etc. and I never knew how to do it. I even show my wife your videos and she sees the excitement I get when I talk about fishing. I was up in convict lake near Lake Tahoe and was in envy when I saw fisherman fishing for fresh water lake trout but I always was too scared to ask them. I guess I just need more friends. anyway thanks for the video it makes me want to go out and do it.

Just a quick advice man! Mountain vlogs were the ones that made you viral and famous. Keep doing the out on the woods vlogs. I personally always wait for this kind of vlogs bro. Just being honest I don’t watch your ocean vlogs cuz they r just boring out there in the ocean but anytime you post a vlog in the mountains I go ahead and watch it in full. Please keep doing them much. Keep up the good work buddy

Going To Kirch Flat this weekend bro‼️ Wish me luck❗️🤞🏼haha

Truest words I’ve heard lol “Once you start fishing, it might be really hard to stop”

Fisherman’s life back with more beginner friendly videos? Feels like the good days

I am so happy you made a vid for beginners fisherman, I love watching your videos but this video makes me motivated to fish myself VS just watching yours videos!. Also I love how you show everything like spool knots and also more importantly saying the risks why

There’s so much joy I get from watching this videos,all the while waiting patiently for my next fishing day like a true Fisherman’s Life thanks Matt 🙏.

This is the best fishing channel

matt is back w the how to! lets go, im ready to watch

Been watching since 2018 binged all your catch and cooks and just now getting into fishing because of yah caught 4 bass so far 💪💪

Anything you put out Matt is so informative, as a beginner fisherman makes your wisdom so valuable!!!

Great video to get started! Although I like all the survival stuff, it is nice to see you fishing again. Beautiful river. Beautiful day. Nothing like being outdoors on a nice day.

this was actually super useful. i don't think i've ever spooled a reel with line correctly. i appreciate these beginners guides so much everything from beginning to end.

Love this basics of how you do what you do, Matts. I'm not a fisherman so it's interesting to see your thought processes.

This was a great video for starters! Thanks for changing your content ❤ 🎣

Dude I missed your channel bro. Finally found it !! ❤🎉

Really makes you feel like you went along on a fishing trip from start to finish; from the stop at the tackle and bait shop, the trip the fishing spot, the set backs, making adjustments, all the way to the cleaning and cooking of the fish. It's more than a tutorial. it's like going fishing with a brother or uncle who's trying to teach you how to fish for the first time.

I’ve been fishing for 20 years yet I watched this video intently 😂

Thank you so much for this lesson. My 2 boys and I have watched your channel for over a year now and learned a lot, but this video on the basics was good enough my 4 and 5yr old could follow along and repeat after you. Once the season opens up for us next weekend were going fishing for the 2nd time ever. Thanks to you 😀

It’s funny seeing this because I used to watch the same videos about 6-8 years ago but matt posted this one so I’m watching another one today

Always great content, Matts! Your freshwater fishing videos are my favorites.

I'm not a fisherman but i love watching your videos and this was great! You covered all the steps so i actually understood

Fishing guide 101 😅 love it! Matt, it doesn’t matter the type of fishing you do as long as you’re fishing 🎣

Appreciate the beginner tips... I need as many as I can get 😂 Been spending all my time in the bay lately but hope to make it up to the mountains for some different kinds of adventures soon!

Great vid Matt! I really enjoyed it. It’s how simple you kept it, reminds me of your earlier content.

Awesome video Matt! Love watching your stuff, always my man!

What an incredible video...been watching for years but this might actually get me to go out and actually fish for the first time!

I've been wanting to start fishing for a while so this video is very helpful. Thanks!

Fish on baby! Fishing season is open, I can't wait to get up into the mountains like this.

Definitely supporting this channel man this was super useful 💯 thanks bro !

Thanks for all you do to entertain us 😊

Nicely done Matt! Really clear easy to understand tutorial and is fun to watch. You actually covered a lot of bases. Nice editing too.

Good to see you ! Thanks Matt

Fantastic film for beginners, and enjoyable for everyone else!

this is great! I'm passing this along to a co-worker who wants to get started in fishing :)

Looking to get into trout fishing, and saw your video this was so helpful and enjoyable to watch !

Awesome tutorial man. Would love to see the same tutorial, but with the fly rod. 👍

If you are going to be traveling unknown forest roads be ready. I try to warn people how brutal it can be getting stuck, too many people have the "it'll never happen to me" mindset without even having the experience of changing a flat tire on gravel road. I don't warn people for no reason, here is my list of stuff I have constantly loaded in my 2015 Kia Soul, I have more equipment in my truck. 6k cal of food and 4 days of water (that becomes 2 days with 2 people), a change of clothes, a knife, a way to make fire, a blanket or 2, a towel to dry off, a saw, an axe, a manual style winch that is rated for at least double your vehicle weight, 3 times the flat tow line you think you need, a couple d-rings for rigging, a car jack, a tarp, hammock, extra hammock ropes (that I've had to use to get my car out more than once), and a bug net. Edit: 18" x 42" piece of 5/8 ply wood for a fast table top to not lose equipment or cutting board for the catch, I put it on top of the spare tire in my trunk. I also have 4 fishing rods and a backpack full of fishing gear in my car but that's the reason I get stuck, not to help me get out.

Matts, This was a great instructional video. Thank you!

Rooster tail w a gold swivel I always use. Always hit. Bait kaster all chrome hits good too. So noobs need to know what kind of hooks are allowed. Each river has its own set. No snelled and no treble hooks. The fish and game in ca are so strict especially in small creeks in small mountain towns. Just looking out!

Thanks for putting this out! Very enjoyable and good information. Please make more of this type

loving your content since the start, I hope one day I'll be able to come to the US and we can shoot a video together, that would be a dream come true! keep it up my bro! 🎣💯

I think it’s time for an overlanding pickup truck. Would be a dope series on this channel.

Ive been wanting to start up fishing, this beginner guide will be helpful thankyou

Been watching your videos for a couple years and finally started fishing 2024! Caught 2 leopard sharks in the bay so far

Wow found your channel just right now and I like it , your are very communicative and clear in your point that you’r communicating. Thank you for the information. Greetings from Toronto, Canada.

Great tip on wetting your hand hand before handling the fish before handling . Myself i learned from Canadian Sportfishing with Italo and the other guy . Fish are going to appreciate the gesture even fish with scales .

Thank you sir. Hope all is well. Love the trout videos. Crap you do good on all videos. Thanks for sharing

That was very nice to watch... Thank you

Great Vid.! I’ve been wanting to hit some of the local rivers for some wild trout myself. Excellent information and easy techniques to follow.

Great Video!! Alot of good information for beginners.. Love it..👊🏻

This video is sooo good thanks for all I’m going to bass pro and using this video I’m going to my that setup and fish on !

Man realizing you posted made my day

Nice video I’m going out tomorrow this helped a lot will be recording and posting it on my channel. Thank you Matt.

This was an excellent video. Thanks!

Awesome vid Matt!!

Thank you for making a video like this

Lots of good info for beginners!

Thanks Matts seemed cheap and easy to get started on some fresh water closer to home for me. See you at the street fair✌🏽

That was awesome man!!

Love it how Matt explained the line twisted due to the spinner cause without the snap swivel.

Thank you fisherman's life now I can finally catch a wild trout

Catch n cooked is the best content. Keep it up ❤

Yump! Day one supporter what's what's over a million subscriptions we need more videos

Trout fishing 101. I enjoy fishing with light tackle. Letting the river/lake dictate my approach. Appreciate the vlog.

You make the best videos.

Entertaining and informative, thanks!

Irs afternoon in Cape Town South Africa, going to try now

🤘🤘 loved how you explianed everything! should make more videos like this o/

Fisherman’s life babyyyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥

Very informative brotha. Still haven’t caught one yet, all advice helps

Nice to see you catching fish and cooking it in little butter again.

Nice. My family swears by the panther marten for sure. I like the one with silver metal, and a yellow with red dot body.

Been subscribed but haven’t had a vid pop up in months. Videos are still great

Great episode Mate

Dont forget nice and bright Cast master lure i never leave home without one!!!

What a great video. Thank you

missed this type of videos, man. back to the beginnings.

More so than on ocean--Polarized sun glasses are a must, even better if can get a camera filter polarized as well. Nice intro and budget friendly as well.

AWESOME VIDEO! ❤

Matt your back in Great form

💛...a couple notes...always have a water-purifier with you in the car or backpack... and, even seasoned fishers forget to open the bail when getting distracted... great video...

I would love to see you out here in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains catching some Rainbows 😁

best youtuber ever....i see video....i watch asap

I dig it! Fun video!

damn i've been binge watching your videos and this came out, good timing

Thanks Matt. I learned a lot from watching the this video.
