Back on the road! Next week's video will be an exciting one too :) BTW, if you missed it, I recorded and uploaded the first Fisherman's Life Podcast with More Than Fishing on my second channel. ruclips.net/video/KW1t6fY28S8/видео.html If you want something to listen to, put it on! Jun's Story is really inspiring.
hey dont be stupid im pretty sure u have kids so u dont have the right to be stupid u need to be in one piece so u can play sports with your kids and go out fishing and other stuff what u said about not caring is very irresponsible as a father think about about what u said dam one day little timmy is going to ask why u cant play sports with him are go fishing and u are going to remember about this time about not caring what happens to u
@Fisherman’s Life Great to know that your surgery was successful, and also great to see you up and at it again, Mats!! Let’s Go!! Sending nothing but blessings. ☮️ 👍🏿
Bro I'm disabled and I feel the same way. I'm stuck inside a lot and you take me with you on adventures that I just can't do, especially the rocks lol but at the same time, I can still do more getting out and doing cool stuff like that. So when I'm healed up myself here, I'm gonna make a point to get out and fish. I live in BC I have no excuse!!! Cheers bud, glad you're feeling better!
@@mincedmeat6002 yeah man my cousin has a jet boat he goes a lot but usually when the salmon run is on. I've always wanted to get onto a big dinosaur though!
Quite a few of the salmon hatcheries here have disabled access fishing spots. Usually in prime spots. Definitely look into it. Life's too short to not get out and fish.
Hey Matt, glad to see you up and going!! You mentioned age, 50, 60! Well, I'm 70 and still doing the things I enjoy, camping, fishing, hiking, road trips. Age is not a factor in living life. Get out, enjoy and live it to the fullest!!
Good to hear that man! I'm only 21 and each year I worry that I won't be able to run/dive/fish the way that I do now. It's always great to hear people succeeding in the things I love to do despite their age.
This video was a pretty good summary of everything I like about this channel and why I've been subbed for so long. The picturesque views, the sound of those waves crashing against the rocks, and of course an absolute clinic on how you don't need big bucks or flashy technology to land a fish. Of course, there aren't many anglers out there with the wit and skill comparable to Matts because he makes it look so easy. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Glad to see you back @ it Matts, all the prayers from A Fishermans Life “Family” for a speedy recovery must have been heard. Awesome episode Mane 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
I am glad you are getting better. When we have no money, we don't have lots of things. When we don't have love, we don't have much, but when we don't have health, we have nothing. Life is too short. Do what you love and enjoy to do. Love your videos. Speed recovery.
That’s a great looking perch, Matt! Glad things turned around for you. I hear what you mean about confronting mortality and finding complacency in living life to its fullest. Thanks for the great content. Tight lines, bud!
I like how your not only showing me great tips but I live in California too so these little break down on the rules is always nice to go over. Thanks man!
Hey man, I had a spontaneous collapsed lung back in December and totally get how you feel with not wanting to let things hold you back! Life is too short to be spent doing something you don’t love. For me that is going out in the outdoors just like you, and my collapsed lung led me to finally starting a RUclips channel! Thank you for all the inspiration, and I hope you have a swift recovery!
My son and I have been watching for a while, you were the one that got us out at the lake 3 yes ago. Now my youngest goes with us, it gets us away from the electronics and out in nature. Thank you for being on here. As for injuries, I discovered KT tape when I pulled my Achilles, if you've never used it, maybe give it a try. If it's on right, it's fantastic and helps with the stress on your joints and tendons. Good Luck man!
I feel you man. this video personally struck a cord with me, I've been struggling with a concussion for a long time. What you said to try get out even when you don't feel well is really important. I love watching your video's when I feel up for it, hope you keep em coming through your hard times. Cheers!
As a disabled vet who once lived an incredibly active lifestyle. I can’t express enough how much it saddens me at times knowing my body is limiting the experiences I want out of life. But I try and push through and get the most out of life every day despite the pain.
@Average User holy cow. I really wish I was, it’s seriously my dream to fish in Alaska! Unfortunately I’m trapped in NY however. I do appreciate this comment so much though.
Watching your videos makes me totally relax just like mediation bro. Been subscribed to you the last 5 years and I have noticed that you're the only YT that still keeps the same path and always is humble
Long time sub. This video makes me so happy seeing you well and healthy, doing what you love. My brother recently got into a nasty motorcycle accident and it’s been hard with his recovery. Best of luck Man
Hey Matt glad your feeling much better now you can get back to what you love to do so enjoy those adventure trips like this recent one and many more to come and Fish On 🐠
I feel it too Matt...been disabled after a stroke 10 yrs ago now...lost my balance now so can't go out and do those things I used to but I try to keep a good outlook and go out in my boat as much as I can...have to be careful as some of the docks are floating and not anchored down so have to climb aboard very carefully. Can no longer hunt but can fish. Love your vids! Keeps me positive! Cheers!
Can’t believe it’s been over 4 years since I started watching your videos. You going out and buying that cheap pole and doing a catch and cook with it is gonna change a bunch of peoples life’s like you did mine.
It’s good to see you always in good spirits. You have such a good mindset, and really inspire others with what you do. I do feel like I’m wasting my prime but you give life to me to do other things. Cheers Matt, gotta go check out this podcast.
Hey man. 27 years old. 4 years of pain In my hip. Had surgery on it 4 months ago. Doing better then before but still feeling it. Best wishes to you. Used to do avid soccer, hiking fishing hunting etc. Going camping shooting tomorrow. Get out there enjoy life. I live in Kelowna, BC, not far off. Watched your videos many years while I laid around when I was to sore to get out. Cheers best wishes, keep atter, use it or lose it pal -peace
Glad you feel a lot better Matt. Life is too short to not enjoy the things you love doing. That's the mentality I been living for the last 5 years, can't wait what new adventures you got for us, keep up the good work& enjoy your life to the fullest ❤🔥💯
Another awesome video, Matt. I like your commentary. I have been surf fishing since I was 18 when I was a younger man, just like you climbing on those cliffs hunting the big ones. 68 years old, I know that feeling having bad hip, knee and retiring 6 years ago I still try to get out there either to freshwater or the surf I know my limits now. I take off still to decompress from the everyday life more recently. I was scouting out some fishing spots from San Simeon to Oceano found some easy access spots so this old guy can still throw out a hook. My best friends Uncle said was Its Fishing Not Catching this was about 40 years ago. Matt Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Stay Strong. P.S. When I started fishing, gasoline was 22 cents a gallon.
Very good and uplifting shit man, makes me want to get out and stop wasting away on the everyday struggle. Gotta keep doing what supports you but need to live for sure, thanks.
Hey bro! I love that you added that circle ⭕️. It’s nice because for what I see it indicates when you hook up . Amazing and innovative Matt you da man.
Big fan here, I used to watch your videos way back in the day, it’s been a great journey for you and I’ve lived vicariously through your journey. Congrats on all your success. Also, couldn’t fail to notice that jacket… do you have a link? Thanks for the great content and keep up the great work! Cheers
to prevent lower extremity injuries & get back into what you love, I would recommend long stretches and most importantly, foam rolling. For whatever reason I've always been prone to pulling things / lower body injuries and foam rolling consistently has changed my life.
Bro. Man you inspire me to want to get back out there doing what I love doing the most and that's fishing thank you for showing use don't let pain put us down live life to it's fullest
I just wanna say I’ve been watching you for a while and you inspire me to get my lazy ass out and go catch and cook I can’t wait I’m hyped for my first catch!!!
Enjoy watching your videos, never felt the need to comment till now. That "I'm going to risk getting injured again, to be able to do what I love" . That hit home.
I like to cut the bacon in half while in the package. This only makes sense if you only want to use half of your bacon. If you go this route it works awesome because one side of the package fits into the other and makes like a custom container for the remaining bacon. Anyway it might be hard to understand what I'm saying without me making a little video.
I was stuck at home for a long time when I hurt my back. I was so itching to go fishing that I played fishing games on Steam on my computer. My back still hurts, but I'm glad I can go fishing again at least.
Another inspiring video Matts! Id love to know the story of how you got into fishing and know all that you do now. Ive been watching for almost a year now but maybe youve already done a video answering that in the past.. id love to see it!
Matt - I enjoy watching your videos and planning to attend Fisherman's Life event in SF this year. I can't agree more that you can't worry all the time. I am at that age that i feel like crumbling daily but moving forward.
watching your video always turns my negative days to positive still best youtuber out there keeping it real. Plus always make me wanna go out and fish .
the best thing about feeling not up to something is the process you take to overcome that feeling. Growth is truly a beautiful thing. no matter age or condition, I believe we all have to take baby steps to our goals. for every will there's a way
"I just don't care about being careful anymore." Man, well said. I got so much in my life as well that pulls me down or strangled. Then I just don't care anymore. Just enjoy life, outdoors, the nature and the fun exploring it.
just came across you channel. You are mellow and it's relaxing to see the water, listen to you and watch you fish and cook. how often do you sharpen your knife? might help make a smoother slice through the fish with a little sharpening.
Great video. So relaxing. Glad you caught that fish and scarfed it down. I would have steamed those mussels and drenched them in butter, your favorite. 😋
Very nice perch to brother , catch alot of those slab size bad boys just north of Cayucos when I can get away from the Central Valley to the coast . Looks like alot of fun glad you are recovering well. By the way that is a striped black perch right?
Yep fishing is the most expensive way to get a free meal. By the way they make self inflating ground pads. The ones that inflate when you open the valves are also usually quiet as well.
It's great to see you recovering well Matts. I believe your outlook and positivity in life is what makes all the difference. You do what you love and you always resonate positivity. I been watching you for years and never tire of your vids. You have nothing to worry about. If you don't make it to a hundred the way you live life then I will be shocked. Keep well dude and thanks to your family for sharing you with us. Stay awesome. I was hoping you were going to camp out there by the river though and get some fish. See ya around. 🙂
@@FishermansLife Dude you are one of the few people I always watch. Everytime you put outna vid and I see it you can bet your life that I will watch it when I can. That podcast with Jun was really powerful btw. He has no idea just how inspirational his message can be. I have a filipina girlfriend and I know from being with here for many years how tough things can be down there. I have seen it myself. But...you will always see a Filipino smiling. They are always a pleasure to be around. If ever Jun would like to do even more I am sure he could be such a role model to the people in the Philippines. His life is a success story. You are married to a Korean girl, I lived in Korea for four years too. :). Do you also have asian heritage Matts? I have Chinese blood in me too. Keep doing what you do buddy and thanks for taking time to reply. I am so glad that your leg got moving again. You kept this little secret from us viewers all these years and not once would any of us have suspected anything wrong with you. Go from strength to strength mate. God bless you and your family always ❤️
can you legally use a knife or other tool to open the mussels on the beach or is it illegal to use tools for opening them like it is for gathering them.
Kuya Matt teaching and inspiring. Enjoyed the shopping trip in what to look for when getting new gear. Stay positive and keep adapting because every basketball team needs a Larry Bird spot shooter and long rebounds.
Can you make a beginners guide on how to start fishing and eating what you catch? Like what gear you need and what you should know before your first trip to the ocean. I just moved to the bay and I don't know where to begin.
Ain't nothing like cooking outdoors! Take a road trip to CO. I'll get you on some big fish we can cook. Probably won't beat what Taku caught though. LOL
1:25 about your injuries, maybe try some videos from Knees Over Toes Guy, I believe he has videos on rehabilitation for hip, knees, ankles/lower legs. He also focuses on basketball health. Best of luck hope you can get back into it 👍
Love you’re content, glad to hear you’re healing well. I saw your crewneck & thought I NEED THAT, but no XL’s in the salmon sunset crewneck, next time! Cheers from Manitoba, Canada!
My friend I got into a critical car at the age of twenty which left me paralyzed and bound to a wheelchair for life. But I haven't let that stop me from doing what I love most which if fish. Yes I miss walking and hiking up and down the shores of the north west of Oʻahu. But I can't let that pull me down, so I figured another way of accessible fishing being wheelchair bound. I fish at spots like boat harbors or places that have jetties where I can roll on out and still do what I love most and that is fishing🎣. We all face difficulties in life but it's how you face them in order to overcome. For I'd rather be a loving passionate positive person then to be an angry hateful person.
Hi I'm new to ur channel. Do you ever go to the San Mateo Bridge area? That bridge freaks me out when we go over it 😂 just wondering if the water is really deep?
Back on the road! Next week's video will be an exciting one too :)
BTW, if you missed it, I recorded and uploaded the first Fisherman's Life Podcast with More Than Fishing on my second channel. ruclips.net/video/KW1t6fY28S8/видео.html
If you want something to listen to, put it on! Jun's Story is really inspiring.
topside on the bacon bro. that way you can tuck the paper flap back over the unused portion.
@Fisherman's Life - if you wanna do more fly fishing, hit me up. I know a lot of spots and techniques you can use all year round and slay em.
more split shot!
hey dont be stupid im pretty sure u have kids so u dont have the right to be stupid u need to be in one piece so u can play sports with your kids and go out fishing and other stuff what u said about not caring is very irresponsible as a father think about about what u said dam one day little timmy is going to ask why u cant play sports with him are go fishing and u are going to remember about this time about not caring what happens to u

When you're healed up, try some fishing on the fraser river. Theres monster sturgeon out there
@@mincedmeat6002 yeah man my cousin has a jet boat he goes a lot but usually when the salmon run is on. I've always wanted to get onto a big dinosaur though!
Trust me dude I thought nobody could beat me doing fishing in crutches.
I was so wrong when a dude showed up in a wheelchair lmao
Quite a few of the salmon hatcheries here have disabled access fishing spots. Usually in prime spots. Definitely look into it. Life's too short to not get out and fish.
@@mincedmeat6002 good ole Canada 🇨🇦

Digging the event count-down dial @16:45. Great little improvement and use of otherwise boring negative screen-space of the sky.

Great video. Improvisation and changing fishing plans lead you to new adventures! Such an amazing channel, thanks Matt.

Cheers!
Glad to see your up and about, and thanks for the great uploads, I always enjoy watching your adventures 👍🏻
My friend you just proved that a person doesn't have to spend hundreds of $$$ just to enjoy fishing. You rock pal!
Pretty simple for the most part!
LOL kinda funny with the title haha
As a disabled vet who once lived an incredibly active lifestyle. I can’t express enough how much it saddens me at times knowing my body is limiting the experiences I want out of life. But I try and push through and get the most out of life every day despite the pain.
Man it sucks, doesn't it? But we have the choice to keep pushing or just give up and we're not giving up! Thank you for your service, brother!
Man I hear ya! Just a part of getting older I guess. Will happen to everyone eventually. Bet you got some amazing memories too though!
Stay positive gents!

Of all the RUclipsrs I watch, your success makes me the happiest. My surgery is April 6th, fingers crossed I'll get my legs back, thanks brother.
I’m so glad I subscribed to your channel! Always great content and the sceneries. Keep up the awesome work and speedy recovery from your surgery.
This man gets me pumped to get outside again. Currently stuck in the snow and cold out in Colorado, very excited for warmer weather and adventures!

Can’t believe it’s been over 4 years since I started watching your videos. You going out and buying that cheap pole and doing a catch and cook with it is gonna change a bunch of peoples life’s like you did mine.
Yup, cheap poles catch just as well as expensive ones a lot of times!

Awesome Video Bro. Hope your recovery is coming along nicely 👊🏻
top notch quality vid as always man, your chanel is THE BEST fishing chabel ever
I’m glad to see you up and moving bro, I’m looking forward to seeing your videos
to prevent lower extremity injuries & get back into what you love, I would recommend long stretches and most importantly, foam rolling. For whatever reason I've always been prone to pulling things / lower body injuries and foam rolling consistently has changed my life.
Been stretching a lot lately and been running backwards with a sled. I think it's helping!
@@FishermansLife I hope all goes well for you brotha. You got a lot of life left to enjoy!
Yeah man! Stay doing what makes you happy! Great video too! Crazy fast catch!!!
Bro. Man you inspire me to want to get back out there doing what I love doing the most and that's fishing thank you for showing use don't let pain put us down live life to it's fullest
Just gotta go out and do it someday!
Yes live your life! I was diagnosed with ALS last July! 😩love your utube channel!
I just wanna say I’ve been watching you for a while and you inspire me to get my lazy ass out and go catch and cook I can’t wait I’m hyped for my first catch!!!
what are you going to be targeting? the cook part is definitely a lot of work right after that catch haha
Enjoy watching your videos, never felt the need to comment till now. That "I'm going to risk getting injured again, to be able to do what I love" . That hit home.
But still he should take it easy and gradually increase his activity nevertheless... no sense in rushing into being reckless and getting injured again
I like to cut the bacon in half while in the package. This only makes sense if you only want to use half of your bacon. If you go this route it works awesome because one side of the package fits into the other and makes like a custom container for the remaining bacon. Anyway it might be hard to understand what I'm saying without me making a little video.

I was stuck at home for a long time when I hurt my back. I was so itching to go fishing that I played fishing games on Steam on my computer. My back still hurts, but I'm glad I can go fishing again at least.

Stay safe Matt.. Speedy recovery brother.
Matts , your back like you never left.
Again my bulletproof ☕ and an episode of Fisherman's Life , it don't get no better 🤝🏼
Matt - I enjoy watching your videos and planning to attend Fisherman's Life event in SF this year. I can't agree more that you can't worry all the time. I am at that age that i feel like crumbling daily but moving forward.
It should be August 6th this year. Hope you can make it!
Thank you for another great video... your a champion because you don't quit 👍
Man I have been loving all the videos and I love your Just Go For It Attitude! Keep it up Brother but stay safe and strong!
Glad you’re recovering well Matt!

Feeling you on the being thankful biz, life is short. So why not do what we love to do! Thanks for the video.
just came across you channel. You are mellow and it's relaxing to see the water, listen to you and watch you fish and cook. how often do you sharpen your knife? might help make a smoother slice through the fish with a little sharpening.
Awesome video, love seeing you live out some of my hopes and dreams. Always looking forward to see your content
Wish I knew the location of the river fishing. I live in northern cali and would love to go there. :(
Matts, your channel is one of my favorites. Would love for you to have a fully built out campervan made for a family, and take your family along.
Now that would be crazy.... camper vans are in trend right now for sure! just hella expensive though
Hearing you complain about tying flies on with cold hands made me laugh. Gotta try winter steelheading in the PNW some time Cali boy!
Pro shots and editing - Excellent work as always!
i really enjoyed this video!
Great video. So relaxing. Glad you caught that fish and scarfed it down. I would have steamed those mussels and drenched them in butter, your favorite. 😋
Very glad to see you back up and at it.
Very nice perch to brother , catch alot of those slab size bad boys just north of Cayucos when I can get away from the Central Valley to the coast . Looks like alot of fun glad you are recovering well. By the way that is a striped black perch right?
Sir!! So glad you feel well enough to do work!! My heart is giving you power to heal and thrive!! God Bless ans God's Speed!!
👍💪 Good to hear you're feeling better!
Yo Matt!loved that you bought a basic rod setup and got a fish!keep it up dude
Production is on point!
Yep fishing is the most expensive way to get a free meal.
By the way they make self inflating ground pads. The ones that inflate when you open the valves are also usually quiet as well.
Oh man Glad to see a fishing youtuber go to Pacifica pier are you going to post that footage on your second channel?
It's great to see you recovering well Matts. I believe your outlook and positivity in life is what makes all the difference. You do what you love and you always resonate positivity. I been watching you for years and never tire of your vids. You have nothing to worry about. If you don't make it to a hundred the way you live life then I will be shocked. Keep well dude and thanks to your family for sharing you with us. Stay awesome. I was hoping you were going to camp out there by the river though and get some fish. See ya around. 🙂
Thanks Donovan! Surprised you still put up with my face after years! Take care!!
@@FishermansLife Dude you are one of the few people I always watch. Everytime you put outna vid and I see it you can bet your life that I will watch it when I can. That podcast with Jun was really powerful btw. He has no idea just how inspirational his message can be. I have a filipina girlfriend and I know from being with here for many years how tough things can be down there. I have seen it myself. But...you will always see a Filipino smiling. They are always a pleasure to be around. If ever Jun would like to do even more I am sure he could be such a role model to the people in the Philippines. His life is a success story. You are married to a Korean girl, I lived in Korea for four years too. :). Do you also have asian heritage Matts? I have Chinese blood in me too. Keep doing what you do buddy and thanks for taking time to reply. I am so glad that your leg got moving again. You kept this little secret from us viewers all these years and not once would any of us have suspected anything wrong with you. Go from strength to strength mate. God bless you and your family always ❤️
awesome video, always enjoy the fishing and the cooking
I woke up randomly thinking about fishing... then Bing a notification what a great start to my day!
I always cook the whole pack of bacon. I cut from the flap, but I also cut off the sides. So the whole pack flips open.
I just wishing you feel better . Don’t think to much sir. I really like your channel
can you legally use a knife or other tool to open the mussels on the beach or is it illegal to use tools for opening them like it is for gathering them.
Kuya Matt teaching and inspiring. Enjoyed the shopping trip in what to look for when getting new gear. Stay positive and keep adapting because every basketball team needs a Larry Bird spot shooter and long rebounds.
Can you make a beginners guide on how to start fishing and eating what you catch? Like what gear you need and what you should know before your first trip to the ocean. I just moved to the bay and I don't know where to begin.
Ain't nothing like cooking outdoors! Take a road trip to CO. I'll get you on some big fish we can cook. Probably won't beat what Taku caught though. LOL
Dude at Walmart: "Looks like someone's going fishin'!".
Not knowing who he was talking to 🤣🤣😂😂😂😎😎😁😁😁
1:25 about your injuries, maybe try some videos from Knees Over Toes Guy, I believe he has videos on rehabilitation for hip, knees, ankles/lower legs. He also focuses on basketball health. Best of luck hope you can get back into it 👍
Already on it! Doing some of his exercises
Love you’re content, glad to hear you’re healing well. I saw your crewneck & thought I NEED THAT, but no XL’s in the salmon sunset crewneck, next time! Cheers from Manitoba, Canada!
My friend I got into a critical car at the age of twenty which left me paralyzed and bound to a wheelchair for life. But I haven't let that stop me from doing what I love most which if fish. Yes I miss walking and hiking up and down the shores of the north west of Oʻahu. But I can't let that pull me down, so I figured another way of accessible fishing being wheelchair bound. I fish at spots like boat harbors or places that have jetties where I can roll on out and still do what I love most and that is fishing🎣. We all face difficulties in life but it's how you face them in order to overcome. For I'd rather be a loving passionate positive person then to be an angry hateful person.
Hi I'm new to ur channel. Do you ever go to the San Mateo Bridge area? That bridge freaks me out when we go over it 😂 just wondering if the water is really deep?
