Cal and that mustache are famous in our household. Get this man his own series on Netflix already.

I really love that you guys aren't just hunting and unmaking animals, you go above and beyond and show the whole process and give the reasoning for conservation and even simple ways for people to help on their own. It's responsible and admirable. Kudos

I'm absolutely loving this season of cal in the field so far, keep up the great work Meateater.

Loving Cal sticking with spearfishing, makes something incredibly hard look really easy

Fish sense is what you’re after Cal. Time in the water and actually diving with good divers like these guys regularly is the key. A day spent following a good diver is worth 6 months of teaching yourself.

yes more Cal thanks meateater keep him making episodes

Man i worked at that place 10 years ago, helped build the tanks and outdoor enclosures. Would have loved to have been there to meet Cal the man.

I used to fish these grounds in my mid 20's from kayak. I get all warm and fuzzy seeing cal out there

Cal reminds me of a friend of mine who died in Iraq in 2019. Just a real stand up guy who loves to learn and share information with people. Loved hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. Irish was a funny guy who made everyone around him better and Cal just gives that same feeling.

Spearfishing;Hell yeah! Keep the blue hunting coming through Meateater.

Having great food, giving back to nature and having more great food. Nice!

Gotta love fresh fish out of the ocean 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Seabeagle getting the deserved recognition 👏

I used to work the boy scout camp right near where you guys are fishing from 2014 to 2019. As matter of fact I even used to run one of our camp programs on the beach that you are fishing off of! All the scouts (myself included) loved snorkeling around there thanks in no small part to the efforts of these conservators. Thank you for the work you all do to preserve the magic of the west end!

Cal in the field is one of the best shows out there!

You will get one next time, Cal! I appreciate the meateater fishing episodes so much

Lucky enough to have a successful White Seabass day in my past. Still to this day, it is the best fish I've ever eaten. Might have a little bit of scarcity boost in that judgment, but it was euphorically better than the rockfish I was used to catchin, and rockfish is far from untasty. On an overcast morning, not too far offshore over a sandy bottom with kelp woods near, we sabiki'd some squid and then drifted balloons at a few different depths. Won't ever forget that spot, the magic of getting on some hungry ghosts in the open, and the gleeful hysteria of bringing some in. A truly amazing fish, a success story of recovery in my local waters, and some absolutely delicious eats that I'll never forget. Glad to see places like this working to maintain and bolster populations and give back to one of the coolest and tastiest species in the brine! Would love to dive for em someday!

Yeah the local boys. Glad you got to experience that.

Seeing Cal in and amongst civilization is weirdly jarring.

Hell ya. My home town!

Did a lot of work on Catalina with the seabass project. Amazing operation

Amazing episode! Would love to see more Catalina content!!!

Little later then usual. But stoked as usual. Appreciation well deserved as usual. Let's go . Das boat Ontario.

I’ve always wanted to spear the kelp out there. This video has strengthened the appeal. Good to see some time and effort going into the fishery. Love the angle you take in the series Cal.

Nice to see you switching it up a little bit. Always new forests to walk (swim) in.

YYYOOOOOO, I FISH AGUA HEDIONDA ALL THE TIME! IM SO PISSED I DIDNT SEE YOU GUYS!!!!

Love Cal and everything meateater, don't get it the wrong way but I learned about Cal through Rinella and I love all the shows.....keep it up!!! Love everyone in the meateater crew you guys are awesome!!!! 🙂 And I dono if im the only one but I like all the episodes before I see them cause I know they will be great 👍 👌 🙂

Cal is the GOAT

sick!

Awesome video bro. I lived in New Jersey and we would hunt striped bass and fluke off the rock jettys. Best fish I've ever eaten

Great episode!

Well done Cal! Keep it up. Big fan!

"Like your cats and your dog's and your grizzly bears"... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I mean, he is talking to Cal, so 🤷🏽‍♂️...

Wsb require a serious grind. Props for getting after it!

awesome thanks

Great Ep!

Thanks Cal ! JO JO IN VT 💕😄

Hell yeah Cal!

you need to try and catch one off a boat. I ts humbling also, had many wsb on my line and have never caught one after five years of fishing out off the Channel Islands just north of Catalina..

I just want to hear Joel say, " alright alright alriiiight".

I work at an indoor ras trout hatchery. Cool to see how a salt water hatchery runs

Conservation by hunters and fishers is so important if not the most for any species in need!

CAL!!!!! White sea bass are great! but your are leaving out California lobster man! when are you coming out this way for that?

Sick video man

Long Live Uncle Ted

Nice 🤟🔥

Come on bois.. you know fish ain't meat :D

Dream job for fisherman

YEESSSSSSS

Hugh quality as usual 🐟🗡

Hot tip. Try be quiet on the surface. You were scaring fish in Australia with that splashing 😂 beautiful looking diving

I feel attacked… sonar shamed… hahaha

The whitefish

MORE SPEARFISHING

Cal is a brave dude spearfishing in the Great White Shark waters of California, I wouldn't.

I was born and raised on Catalina Island, Cal if you want to go fishing g or hunting on the island with some locals let me know!!

Don’t feel bad, Cal. I’ve been chasing ghosts for longer than I care to admit and still don’t have a legal to my name.

Leon Raymond Hubbard Jr. He started scientology right? 😁

it's not just point and shoot. there are a TON of nuances that takes years to learn

MeatEater has already got me into the mountains more but now they are going to force me to learn to dive and spearfish. Ughh

It's weird, I love hunting and fishing, but have mixed feelings about Sea World.

Mi pelon favorito

I think they were frightened by your moustache.

Ah Kermits badass mustached cousin

How much weight on that belt? (5mm suit?)

Is there any chance of great white shark presence in this area during this timeframe?

How does someone get started spearfishing?

Sea bass? Wit feaking lazers on thier heads? Are they ill tempered?

Shout out to outdoor chef life with taku

Cal's mic on the interviews inside the hatchy had an echo on his mic mixing FYI @MeatEater

First comment ha! What’s up Steve!

Are you packing that stache with vasoline or just tightening the hell out of that mask? Never had luck with either way personally

The White Sea bass release program is essentially a put and take program. These fish are released not as a way to improve wild populations but as a way to provide fishing opportunities. If this program ended the sea bass would be gone again

👍🇧🇷

hello

I miss Steve

Hey Cal, how do you skin dive with all that hair on your face?

Need to kick quieter

17:56 oh fuck dont shoot me

Hard to believe Man's production of Lab raised White Sea Bass, could have any effect against the population of Wild Raised White Sea Bass... Worldwide....

Imagine thinking that sea world’s mission is to “educate” and not profit off animal cruelty

Please never have Ted on a podcast again. He is the most preachy and self congratulating big mouth we have ever heard.

White Sea Bass? But what about Chilean Sea Bass!
