For those who have been here from the start - yes I still get sea sick, but I bought the boat anyway 😄 . Let's see if I can get over this thing.

That opening scene looked like it was straight out of a movie 🔥 Congrats on the boat man, much respect for attacking the sea sickness head on. Great example to set, keep grinding man!

My son is getting his 1st fishing rod because of you and your friends. I just bought a rod too, I can take him up to the lake. Trying to explain to him that he won't be able to catch crabs in the Appalachian mountains, well that's another story. Thank you!

Good job youtube. We got this guy a boat.

My husband introduced me to your videos and now I can’t stop watching them. Lol love your new boat. Drink lots of water before you go out in the sea. My father gets sea sick very easily and he started drinking lots of water before he would go and it’s helped him a lot. He will still bring along the sea sick medication but he won’t take it until he is out in the water and (only if he feeling that drinking of water didn’t help him.) I can’t wait for more of your videos. I hope someday my husband and I move to a place where we can go fishing every day without having to drive 2-4 hours to get to a location. But for now I live off your adventures. :)

"LET'S GOOO MAN!" Hahaha. Can't wait to fish on that thang!

Couple tips for you Matt 1. First purchase for the boat.. BUY GPS and sonar. These two things are bar none the most important items you can own for fishing. If you're strapped for cash you can get the navionics GPS app for your phone. Sonar is under 200 dollars for a basic unit. Location and fishing structure... when it comes to rockfish and lingcod, if you're off by even 10 feet it's the difference between a 15 fish day and getting skunked. 2. Trim down to minimize bow raise for planing. Weight distribution also has a much bigger effect on a small boat like that.

That opening shot was super dope. I think that would look really good as an opening for all of your videos. You can make your logo appear right as your body is out of frame. Just a thought from a longtime fan.

You could do a video of you testing out all the sea sickness remedies you know and make a video about it to help other people who get seasick. At least then something positive would be coming out of you getting seasick.

Great! you will have fun with it! Being single in the craft you should wear your PFD all the time, carry the radio, signal mirror, knife (incase you get tangled up) and your cell phone.

I remember my first boat and many of the same feelings you had. It opens up a whole new world for those that love to fish and be on the water. Make sure to attach the red kill lanyard when you are running, it's easy to end up in the water and you don't want to watch your boat continue on into the sunset.

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at the office.

...can tell you are stoked Bru. congratulations, looks brand new

Seeing you so excited is making me excited haha.

Thanks man. A man in a van with a SIB. I do this too, a fantastic platform to get on the water quickly. My Seago 230 is unpacked and ready to go in 25 minutes, I opted for a 12v 40lb trolling motor and 110ah battery which is plenty for my needs, quiet and easy to pack in the van, the battery recharges there too. Love from Scotland

Congrats man. I'm laughing at how happy you are. Not because it's funny, but I just love to see people happy.

Dude I loved the opening. Thank God you didn't include any music.

WE WANT BUTTERBOAT!!

Just want to say that I love your videos! For sea sickness, rather than taking pills I would highly recommend trying Sea Bands. The British navy issues these to all of their sailors, and I have to say I swear by them! They are wristbands that has a button sewn on the inside of them, you place them three fingers below the first solid line on your wrist, and no more sea sickness! They are pretty cheap, and last pretty much forever with average care.

Love how u started with butter in the cliffs to this small boat and now u up to a full sized boat

Looking good!..my frist boat was a Lund 16' aluminum with 35hp yamaha. good thing you bought a yamaha dude, they last for a long time with so little maintenance, change oil and gear oil as per Yamaha maintenance and you are set my friend! thumbs up # 261

I thought for a second that the motor wasn't going to start, haha. Excited for rockfish/salmon season this year!

Inflatables are excellent fishing boats, I had one for about 15 years. One idea for you...get a handicap walker, and secure it near the middle of your boat. This gives you a place to mount rod holders, plus it allows you to stand up and fish, pull crab pots, etc. without worrying about falling over. It's easy enough to step around when going fore and aft. Sounds crazy, but it worked great for me!

I watched a lot of videos related to fishing and small inflatable boats. For no reason, I must admit that this video, however simple, is one of the best. A wonderful expression of pleasure and happiness from you. I bought a HONWAVE T30 AE with a small HONDA BF. I can't wait to try it.

Dude, I'm so freaking excited and happy for you! FREEDOM!

Nice little boat ! Hard to beat the Yamaha outboards, super reliable !

Wow.....what an opening shot, with you stood looking out over the sea. Your drone filming skills may be approaching Jedi level.

Watching your more recent videos and where you’ve taken things and how good a fisherman, boatman, life philosopher, shore beach/rock fish cook, etc you’ve become it’s fun and interesting to watch these older videos. Good on ya’ for dealing with your seasickness with fortitude and strength. Now that’s a man who loves the sea and his fishing. Keep going strong Matts!

started from the bottom now we here I subbed when you had 4k sub Now You HAVE 300K

Glad your maiden voyage went well bro! I bought and installed a SE sport 300 hydrofoil for my outboard motor to reach plane quicker and it did help a lot and noticed a huge difference! Can't wait to come aboard and fish with you captiaon! I need to take mine in for a maintenance.

Dude that boat glides through the water like butter...big ups, peace.

Highly recommend buying a pair of "sea bands" for motion sickness. My wife bought some for our cruise and they actually work. I ended up using it also during our flights. Helped calm my anxiety down. I would probably wear them all day just for that reason lol

No more foldable kayak haha love your content

Use your drone to send fishing line further out while staying on land.

Gas break dip dip! Nah! Gas troll fish fish! Let me see you throw your pots lol ! Can't wait to see more videos on this boat! Awesome Matts! Fisherman's Life!

You can never have enough safety gear with you especially going out to sea alone. Compass, small fire extinguisher, pfd, multi-tool, signal flare, paddle, gps, etc.etc.etc. My bro almost died because he did not bring a compass and the thick fog rolled in and they were lost at sea for six hours, thank god he did not continue heading out to sea in the wrong direction. He got lucky that day and the next day he bought a marine compass for the boat. Love your videos and love your cooking, keep it up.

Hey man. I just want to say that I'm such a big fan of your content. It's been top notch from the beginning, and the videos are only getting better. Hope to see more of you in the future and thanks for the vids so far. Greetings from Holland

Hi mate, i have a very similar boat that i launch from the beach here in New Zealand. You should consider putting some hydrofoils on the engine. It will stop the bow rising so high when your going slow, and you can plane at lower speeds. Great vids, keep up the good work!

Congrats on the new boat, can't wait to see the new episodes now....Til next time 🤙

I felt a bit uncomfortable the first time I took my inflatable boat out. I actually stayed close to shore compared with you that went out quite a distance from shore. I now feel more confident in myself each time I go fishing. Each time I go out i go further and further out. I enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work

I have to admit, little sick of drone shots. Everybody and their grandma seems to have a drone these days, but that opening shot was fuckin' fantastic.

HELL YEAH, LET'S GO

BOAT= Bring Out Another Thousand. Good luck captain have a blast man. Catch a bunch!! Plained out nice. Don't need to go full throttle. Go easy in the waves.

You keep moving from strength to strength! Truly living the Fisherman's Life.

Hey Matts, just FYI about the crab trap buoys (aka that laundry detergent bottle you used :D), per CA DFG: "• Crab trap buoys must display the “GO ID” number of the operator of the trap. This is the unique 10-digit identifier assigned by the Automated License Data System to your profile. It will appear on your fishing license and all documents purchased through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Crab traps must possess a buoy and each buoy must be legibly marked with the trap operator’s GO ID number as stated on his or her sport fishing license. "

happy for u bro.. but i think u gotta get some gimbal for the cam? :)

Don't know much about fishing but I really enjoy your videos. Always interesting and educational. Congrats on the new boat my friend.

The opening scene was truly mesmerizing. Gotta plan a trip to the west coast

Awesome to see you got a boat. However, it's a little small for fishing along the NorCal coast. The swells can be pretty sketchy and it's especially dangerous out there in the spring because of the strong winds which are common that time of year, so be careful. I believe salmon fishing can be productive right outside Pillar Point harbor by the buoy early in the year so April/May. Could be a good alternative to fishing further off shore where salmon feed on krill that time of year. If you're new to salmon fishing and can't make cable baits, try FBR's and Apex's. Use red, green, clear for FBR (use anchovies over herring early in the year) and the watermelon or cop car patterns for the Apex. Hope this helps. Tight lines.

Bro, you forgot to put some butter on the camera mount so you stop vibrating/shaking when recording.

Fisherman's Life is a GOAT doing GOAT things

What a opening scene!!! Fantastic visual!!!

Congratulations on the new boat Matts! I christen thee the U.S.S Seabutter!

Bro you're awesome and have balls of Tungsten!!

Love watching you fish, you remind me so much of a childhood friend who lost his life in an car accident. Keep staying true, and can't wait for future videos from you 🙏

Idk why you don't have a lot of subscribers or views. I watch other catch and cooks and noone gives the vibes you do. You're informative, and an amazing editor plus filmer. I'm always left wanting more with your videos.

Anyone else drink when he said "let's go!"?

I noticed the line from your crab pot when you pulled it in and started going with your motor, thst it was hanging off the side a little, care about that, if more line went over the dude if the boat and into the eater, it coukd end up wrap around yiur propeller, and could even shear the shear pin, then no power and stranded at sea, you hot thus though, looking fireard to your next video. Tight lines

Because of this channel I’ve only cooked my fish with butter and avocado! Soooo good he wasn’t kidding!

Sorry but as the swell came in and your discomfort got the better of you I was grinning more and more. Thats real. I've known that feeling a lot closer to the shore than you were. Good for you and those giving you positive feedback.Quality video.

Don't have a GPS- just download Navionics on your phone.

always bring a paddle just in case

Yo tell me why you don't have a million subscribers, this is the most underrated fishing channel ever!

Congrats on the boat bro. People take that for granted, you see all them others youtubers that can do that like its nothing.

Love your channel. I’m a dinghy fisherman also I have a 10.5 Aleko maybe we can fish one day?

To fix the issue with the nose going up the weights not the problem the faster u go it will plain out

Great opening shot! Some advice and thougts. 1) Don't cut in front of boats. 2) Look into proper buoys with an ID#, and get a hook on stick to be able to scoop any thing tied to a buoy out of the water easily. 3) Get rope and carabiners and tie all your equipment down so it doesn't go flying everywhere and hit you or fall out of your boat. You want everything to be stable and secure and not move. 4) You are going to want some better clothing. Winds pick up quickly, swells get big quickly, get some good waterproof fishing clothes. 5) WHY DIDN'T YOU GET A KAYAK?!?!!?!? 6) Love your videos. Hope you get over the sea sickness soon.

Lets Go! Lets Go! Congrats Mat

im enjoing your fun

does this dingey run on butter?

Happy for you.. finally..every fisherman's dream..

I've been watching your channel from about 70k and you deserve this boat

Keep the momentum going bro! You make great videos!!! I expect at least 2 videos a week!!! You got it!

Do a 24 hour fishing and sleeping challenge on that puppy

You deserve all the success and happiness to come your way !!!!!!!

Damn dude going from fishing on rocks to on a boat. Moving on up hell yeah.

Awesome video! Hi Matt, when are you going to have more butter t-shirts? I just ordered a steelhead shirt and a lingcod sweatshirt, but what I really want is the butter. Thanks!

You need a deadman switch asap. Trust me. Correction, you just aren't using it.

Well Matts! First of all, congrats on the new Zodiac! It will take some time to get used to it and get things organized. But overall, it was a good trip! You're learning your new boat and you need to take a Dramamine in the morning before you go out again! hehehehe

Careful going out as there is a shallow reef that breaks. People have died. Not sure if you know. Also rocky areas all over out there. Get a fish finder to help find sand bottom for dungies, and reef for fishing. Get weights for crab rings so they don't "walk". And good luck fishing!

42 views but 68 likes how does that work

Finally fam! You better make room on it for a grille, bc we want more Catch ‘N Cooks! This time from the boat

Congrats on the new boat! Have fun and be safe!

Nice!! Congrats on the boat! Glad you're getting a trailer, dragging that boat up the launch ramp is pretty rough on the bottom. Also, little tip, when you're picking up a buoy, go for the line, not the handle. It's a lot easier to grab. Also, make sure you get ALL the line out of the water before you start that motor. You don't want the prop wrapped, or worse! Stay safe man! Excited for your upcoming videos!

Every time I think I need a boat I watch this video. While I'm happy for you, I get reminded how seasick I get. I'm almost hurling now, on my couch.

Don't know if anyone has suggested it yet but a gaf for the crab pot line as well as any halibut would be a good idea for your boat. Keep up the great videos, wish fishing shows on the were more like your channel.

Congrats on the boat Matts, looks like a blast.

Congratulations man. I can see the excitement .A boat will increase your catching by 80% in my opinion.Go get em👍👍👍

Lets go lets go...... hell yeah! Nice boat brotha. You be coming up in the world of fishing next is a butter sponsor. Keep up the good work with the video.

Epic.. it’s like a new chapter in the channel.

Haha . Always love how every KZfaq fishing I watch and enjoy always say it's rough or big swell . Iether I'm blind or it doesn't exist haha . I go fishing at sea alot . And I've never even seen the ocean as flat as what you called rough in this video . 😀😀

Gas line longer so the tank can go all the way to the front of the boat. When taking boat out of the water move the tank back towards the rear of the boat. Nice boat have fun. Dramamine one hour before you launch.

Congrats on the boat. I'm staying tuned

Congrats on the new boat and motor setup, that is sweet. I remember going fishing with my dad and family and we would troll local lakes for bass. My dad got this fishing line that was a different color every twenty feet, so you would know exactly how much line you were putting out when trolling. I wonder if they still make fishing line similar to that because that would be a very easy way to see how deep a certain fishing spot was. You could always purchase an inexpensive depth finder that has a app to your cell phone also. The GPS thing, you can remedy by just getting a free or very inexpensive app for your cell phone and you will never loose your pots. Thanks for the video and info. God Bless bro.

Look at you go bro! Glad to see you motored up! Stay safe!

I think Im starting to fall in love with fishing again

Nice job, I hope you make tons of videos in the boat. ENJOY!!!

I hope so too! Enjoy your videos! I am land locked but grew up on the Missouri River. Fished out of a 12 ft aluminum boat with a 5 horse motor with my Grandpa. Been on the ocean in a small boat and luckily I don't get motion sickness , Hope you can beat it!

Awesome to see you just genuinely enjoying your new boat. Look forward to lots of videos with that boat!

My favorite time at Pillar point is when anchovies are running!!! You never know what you might catch!!!! and its none stop!!! Tight lines!!!!
