Thank you for taking the time to let us live through you at our desks.

Hey Matt, I have that same cheap Kayak that I used to take out on the ocean fishing and crabbing, I developed similar scratches on the bottom rear as in your video and thought it was okay, then one day I was about 2 miles out of Santa Cruz and realized I was sinking. It was leaking from those little scratches, I barely made it back to land after struggling to paddle a water laden kayak and frequent stops bailing the hull with a gatorade bottle. I ditched it and bought a real ocean worthy Hobie outback kayak. So be safe my Brother!

I've done a lot of ocean kayaking and you sir are very lucky the ocean was so calm. Had me leaning in my chair on that launch from the island 😆

I love your broke series. Please post more! I'm a disabled Veteran and broke as hell. Your broke videos help alot of people get out fishing on the cheap.

Good "how to." Next time I'll go kayak fishing alone without a life vest. Thanks for the tip.

Hahaha the amount of anxiety I had when you were getting on the kayak at the end. I literally had my hands over my face when you were turned around facing the back trying to not dump. I love kayaks.

Its so good to see you as excited as you were two years ago. I really felt your excitement and joy in this video.

Cool. Much better than swimming, especially with gear. You can get up there easy peasy. Nice job. woohoo... Absolutely beautiful... Flowers everywhere. What the heck,,,, no bacon, no tent,, just a pad and a bag. Hope you brought ear plugs for those noisy birds. That's som nice looking lunch man,,,ah and you threw him back. lol I think that seal is getting a good laugh. He's not even hanging around. There ya go. Looks like YUM! Great video...... so I gotta tell you... I"m 75, still kayak but take the easy roads now due to a health issue. I really appreciate you taking me on these adventures I can no longer do. Thank you so much. You're sharing more than a youtube video. Hope you and your wife have a fantastic 2023.

You’re the freaking man ! Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures .. love all your videos . 🤙

I totally love your videos. You make it seem like we're right there with you. Thanks for the adventures!!!

Island , Fisherman's Life style , Great adventure and Video as always . 4:20 in the video thumbs Up . Try a few seagull eggs next time .

Great video Matts. Just an idea but I would recommend attaching a rope to your kayak in case a sneaker wave pulls the kayak out when you're unloading, you'll have a 2nd chance at retrieving your kayak.

I really enjoy fishing and catching rockfish along the coast. You have always been an inspiration to me. Love the amazing content!

The amount of variety between various harbor/bay islands around the world makes them so interesting to explore.

That’s what I call a Real Adventure, to me i call that also 3C’s Catch,Cook and Camping. Thank you Matt for showing and sharing your great video , I love it.

Your videos are so awesome, sure makes passing the time at work better. Sad I missed the street fair but thanks for the videos, especially for those close enough that cant make it out. I've learned so much watching your videos. Hope to make it out there and try my luck. You tha man.

Man, thank you for this video. It got intense there at the end. Whooo! I appreciate the effort you put into this. Thank you.

What a banger video. So glad you made it. I remember you only had 14k subs! I thought to myself why has this man not gone viral. Now that I'm in the same industry I realize it takes a lot of time, dedication and consistent uploading. So hopefully one day I can make it like you. I've learned so much about fishing throughout the years watching you fish. You didn't just inspire me and I'm sure load of other people but you always remain calm collective and very humble. Stay fishing -Johnny.

Thanks for all you do man, enjoyed your content for a while now.

Yes sir. We are here... great video champ 👍👍👍

The end was so so stressful! Glad to see you made it out safe! Thanks for providing such great content...

Love these Camp & Cook videos! The excitement when catching that little one... I could really feel that. FL Street fare was really dope too, definitely worth the trip and nice meeting you. Keep it up and tight lines!

Not gonna lie, even though it was a hard trip for you, Matt, it was hella entertaining to watch haha! Reminds me of the show ‘Alone’!

I saw that vid back then! May have been my first Fisherman’s Life experiences. Thank you for inspiring 🙏❤️

Great video! Thanks for the adventure!

Really enjoy these og videos. Just cheap fun videos of wacky fisherman’s life ideas! This was awesome!

This was awesome! Matt vs. the environment and revels in the glory of a nice keeper~! Great adventure buddy~

Did he just belly flop onto the kayak? "I'm on my belly yall" lol. That was awesome...

That's hilarious! And you did so good with no bad words before the end when it just went BLEEP BLEEP oh BLEEP, lol

Dude the Half Moon Bay horn sound effect bleeping the cussing had me rolling haha

Being a native Bay Arean now living down in the desrt by Palm Springs, your videos are a taste of home for me. I love ❤️ your adventures.

Great to watch your adventure …. Will watch all your videos soon.

You’re crazy. Love it!!!

It was awesome to see You in person today at the Warehouse! You should make an Unboxing video for all the spoons!

The way my guys reel bounced off the rocks😂 love the vids!

Bruddah Matt @ 13:16 says Slippers. Not flip flops. Cracked me up! It’s a Hawai’i thing. Us locals say slippahs. Good stuff Matt. 🤙🏽

You had me rolling. I couldn’t stop laughing when you were half paddling away ‘cus it brought me back to something similar I did on an island by San Rafael. Your vids. Are so real and they provide a connection to the past, present and hopefully future adventures I’ve experienced. Thank you. From the motorcycle guy in Petaluma. Watching this adventure of yours was priceless. On the serious tip, I’m glad your safe b

Thanks for the story and im glad you're alive and well

I just bought that same one! Took it to a local lake and had a blast! My first time ever kayaking! I did get a better paddle before I took it out.

Fantastic video Matts! I was smiling all through that video. I thought the location looked familiar. I remember your abalone vid there. Glad you got back safely from the island. Btw...I saw the bird got you divebombed on your shorts 😁. Hope you had an awesome time. 🙂

Dude you are the goat of entertaining fishing videos! I may have to come out from Rhode Island next year with the fam just to go to the street fair!

That was a fun fishing adventure. It is great when you finally get that fish from shore. Beat up, hungry and finally a Bite...!!!!!

Been watching your videos for almost 7 years . Really enjoy your content and the success of your channel. Usually you are very pragmatic . This video was reckless . No life jacket ?! A few cords of rope and some carabiners to secure the boat to the island . You’ve got a family you’ve got to be safe in the waters . God.Bless .

Wow bro love it , im sorry for your wife she has to live threw your awesome vids god bless fisherman life rocks

Great video, thanks 👍
