“Hours of nothing..to minutes of excitement..back to hours of nothing” That’s fishing right there

What a day... I still can't believe we hooked up on the LAST DRIFT! Beast of a fish too!

Been to long u need to make catch and cooks i miss the butter and Avocado bro

Dude those last 3 minutes of the video my 6year old son and I were on our feet screaming at the TV “DONT LOSE THAT FISH!”. It was like watching the Super Bowl! Hahaha... Outstanding catch guys!

I know the MasterBaiter ...... nice guy, but I wouldn’t shake his hand 😬

I love that you get sick but still love fishing! That's passion!

Hey brother, I just want to say. Out of every outdoors KZfaq I’ve been watching you have been the most inspirational to me. I recently quit my full time job to become a stay at home dad and to work on my business. I did this because of you man, honestly. The way you present your content seems so humble, so “do it yourself” if that makes sense, yet it also screams of knowledge and wisdom, and above all else PASSION. I have passion for angling and for helping others which is why I’m trying to become a guide, and also start a KZfaq channel to sort of document the experience and share what I know so others can go out and feel empowered to continue participating in the natural world. I’ve already started compiling footage so first ep will be out soon. Enough about me though man I just wanted to express my gratitude for you doing what you do, and being real with your community. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been inspired. Tight lines brother, keep on catchin em! Great fish by the way.

21:12 That weird conversation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Been a while since you took Daniel with you on a video, nice to see y’all still tight!

We've seen the CATCH..... are we gonna see the COOK? Part 2 coming soon?

The duo is back 🔥

outstanding!!! 40 years from now, you will still remember that one what it's all about dude

Matts approaches fishing more like a hunter. He’s always tweaking and experimenting with different methods to increase his odds of catching something. And it works!

Lol I love watching your videos. I couldn’t help but giggle when you kept calling him the “master-baiter”. 😂💀

Thats a good friend right there. Its not often you'll see someone else just as excited as you are about your fish.

“Hours of nothing to minutes of excitement” That’s the pure definition of fishing Right there! Great video Matts!

I was smiling the whole time seeing you back out having a good time on your new boat with a friend and the way he was holding that net gave me more anxiety than any video ive ever watched lol

Oh that’s so dope man! Hope to catch my first salmon soon!🐟🐟🐟

When you netted that hog it made me smile ear to ear!! Great Catch!! Fun to Watch!!!

Thank you for your video. With everything going on I really needed that. Nice boat. Continue being safe and being blessed Mia

Awesome catch, just a quick tip though if there are any other boats around DO NOT drive straight through the center of diving birds. Let them do their thing and fish the edges. You'll get some pissed off fisherman on the radio. CHEERS. Good job out there though.

I’ve been waiting for another upload!

Damn Daniel! Glad you hooked up with your brother from another mother. It's great to see you both having a great time and creating lifelong memories. You guys are a great duo. Let's go!

So awesome to see you out there fishing again !! Congrats on the big catch, fun team work . Don't forget the catch and cooks with your famous avocado, miss them 😍🎣🌟

The MASTER BAITER! Thanks for the bait

You know its raining game in Northern California when the video drops!

Glad you are back in action! Grew up in SB fishing, loved to fish the piers and rocks.

Nice fight! That ish got me anxious! Props to Philosophy D for the patience with the net. The back n forth excitement and celebration was hilarious. I feel it! Lol

Finally, been waiting for a new vid to relax and distract myself from all the things that are happening

Finally avocado man's video shows up on my recommended list. Been a while.

Wow that excitement you guys had and the reaction, it made me ready to run through a brick wall. I wish I could word that better, but that was a dope brother/fisherman moment right there, we all know that feeling. So much respect to you guys!

Enjoyed the show very much, thanks. Congrats on the nice catch! Enjoy!

I've been in a sensory deprivation tank, it was honestly incredible. Would love to do it again!

Lmaooo “good to have you on board Daniel”

Almost in tears of joy as you guys netted that fish!! Right after the intense nail biting as you were fighting it!!🙌🙌

Bro I love our vids! I'm a bay area guy, i really can appreciate and relate to your fishing experiences. Yum yum yum, that salmon looks AMAZING! Nice work on persisting and chasing that bait! You got it man!

Never steam straight into a rise, bait ball bird rise, always let your lines out at least 50 yards further and steam well outside the rise then steer you lines over the rise and slow downwhen your lures are in the middle of it then speed up to not more than 6 knots, by running over the rise you will scare the fish

It’s simple. I see Fisherman’s Life video. I click.

Huge love to you for this vid bro. Glad you are back to it. I NEED A CATCH AND COOK NEXT! :)

Glad to see you back dude, never been much of a fisherman. Used to drop a hook and bobber to catch bluegills with my gramps when I was a kid and you make me want to go out there and try and do some proper fishing.

10:49 whoever it was you got em good

I’ve never fished for salmon but you would be a lot better staying on the fringes of the bait and casting into the school. If it’s a school of squid then your kytech would probably be pretty good casting across the bait and working it through the school. Just a tip from a South Florida fisherman

You took us on a journey and I damn near woke my sleeping baby up when you caught that fish! Feels so good to see you posting vids again!

Excellent video !!! It was gut-wrenching to watch the guy handling the net. Congratulations for landing it !!!

Been Fishing 5 Times. I still haven't caught a Fish. 🤣👍🏻

" THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT " YEW!!!!!!

Love the beginning format with the baited hooks! Great vids, always.

This was so much fun. Such pure joy!! haha loved it.

i see a big problem here where is the cooking part? unbelievable SLAP LIKE NOW if you want more C & C video from Matts!

Bruh first video i see in a couple months and he says “waters coming up 30ft that means there’s a whale.... and that’s what we’re looking for”

Okay... that was fun to watch!! Love seeing you two fish together!! D should get 1/2 of that fish for that thumbnail!! 😂

Awesome video Matts. Looking forward to a Part 2 with a Catch Clean and Cook.

15:11 look in the middle(tiny to the left). you can see a dolphin come up for air :D

Hi fisherman’s life I was the kid u saw while you were bike riding and my mom said ur name. Near Santiago anyway today is my birthday. I would be the best present if you can wish me happy birthday.

Always stoked to see a new video from Fisherman's Life! Great prep to catching salmon; I learned a lot!

So awesome to see both of you guys fishing together again. Awesome fish and awesome friendship. Fish On

So exciting watching you land that huge salmon! For sea sickness I recommend “Sea Bands” you just wear around wrists. What day and time did you launch at Pillar Point ? Was it very crowded at the boat launch?

"Bout to get on some salmon in front of their ass" Hell yea get it! Fisherman's Life!

I remember hiw my heart used to thump on the anticipation of bringing in a huge fish. This video brought that feeling back! Time for me to go fishing again! Thanks for the vids!!

Good stuff man that's a kegger. It's good to have you back.

Damn I’ve been wanting to go salmon fishing forever but where I live In cali I’m addicted to shark fishing 🤙 #tugisthedrug

Haven’t been this early since i was with the 3 peters

Massive catch man! Glad you're back. I'm sure I'm not the only one who missed you.

Long time sub here. You are getting really close to a million! Congratulations bud! Thanks for all the uploads i've learned quite a bit over the years.

7:03 how’d you know it was cut by a shark?

LOL bringing a spinning reel for salmon trolling🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Never cared much about fishing but after watching your videos you really made me wanna fish. I’m heading up to the river this weekend with my uncle who’s always loved fishing and he’s going to teach me. I’m really excited thank you!

That video was so exciting i was leaning on my chair to see the fish come up. LOL Awesome catch wow...

"Hours of nothing...." I think not. So many would give a lot to have what you have. You're on your own boat, with a great friend, off shore of one of the most storied coasts on the planet. Check it.

We need to get you to the million! Awesome video! I could feel the energy

There's a reason you're closing in on a million subscribers... Congrats a few weeks early. Been with you since the beginning.

Awesome! Can feel how excited you were!

Let's go, baby!! One good fish is all it takes. Great job.

I’ve been through most of your videos since your last crabbing one! I just bought my first fishing rod and am super excited to get started. Thanks for inspiring me :)

Watching from Newfoundland Canada been watching your videos since the beginning ! Glad you are back at it !

Great to see you two together. Great video! Like button smashed

That catch was CLUTCH!! Great job boys! Hoping for a catch and cook soon

This video perfectly sums up all of the highs and lows of fishing! Feels so good!

THAT WAS CRAAAAAAAZY! Broooo congratulations that was a fun catch to see!!

That's a big one for sure! One of my favorite fish to eat. Glad it turned out great for you and Daniel. Nice vid!

I live in SoCal and saw when you took the small boat to the Coronados. That was badd azz in that size boat. That was an epic fish. Can't wait to see what you catch with the new rig!
