After the last experience, I couldn't think straight without getting back in the water! Decided to go back to get some abalone in a safer way. We went at low tide and were able to find them in very shallow water. It's like a whole other world under water! We saw a lot of fish and more Abalone than we imagined. - บันเทิง

I dove for ablone and rock fish for 20 years first eight non stop. I used tanks to find the big lings ( 28 )pounds and free dove for the ablone. I really enjoyed your video I hope you have as much fun as I did. When you start free diving in the 20 foot range you get into the inner space. Swimming thru kelp is like swimming thru trees. With the look in your eyes joy in your speech you will be a fantastic free diver. Be safe and keep loving the water.
Your content is soooo good. I'm not even a person who would normally go fishing. But I'm binge watching all of your videos and feel soooo inspired to go fishing. Loving your channel!!!
This is good to know. I always want to go for abalone. Never knew you could do it so close to shore. And going at low tide, you sir are a genius!
I have psych homework due tomorrow but I'm on a Fisherman's Life marathon! I don't even fish but I really enjoy your channel, interesting stuff. :)

Take up fishing and snorkeling for your food.... your life will be more exciting and fulfilling than what you will get out of your schooling....
plss watch may channels maam is also abalone in philiphines
Did u pass
Wow! 2 feet of water. Thats crazy. Here in Victoria, Australia the rule is they must be in at least two metres of water. It would be cool to get them while standing in knee deep water though. Enjoy. Abalone are delicious when prepared correctly.
You, Ish and Mr furry hat are making me wish I was in San Fran.Something I thought I would never think let alone comment on you tube.LOL.Another great vid!
Awesome dude - never saw this video of yours! Cool to see you both out there 🤙
That's cool. I'll be doing this in Australia this summer. I've never eaten Abalone before and I'm looking forward to it.
Is there any abalone up In north Andy ?by the way I'm a big fan off ur chanel Andy u have lots off cool videos 👍
We had to be tuff in the 1980's. Surf mats, paddling, (no scuba allowed), limit of 4, buddy system, eyeball before prying them off the rock with the tire iron. Sneak up quietly. If they sense trouble, they suck on so tight that you cant get them off the rock without tearing the shell off. We had to pee in the wet suit to keep warm. So peaceful quiet to just flow through the wavering tendrils of giant kelp. I'd be in heaven already if I stayed too long. Water was freaking cold. 55 to 60 degrees. visibility 25 ft on an excellent day, 10 ft normal. Really hard work for 4 abs, some halibut, few crabs. Really great company.
Hey man, thanks for the informative (and responsible!) video! Glad to have you in the underwater explorer's club. Here's an interesting tidbit for you: do you know why you have to take the abalone you remove (as long as it's big enough)? Unlike humans and some other animals, their blood doesn't clot. And they almost always get a small cut on them when you're trying to slide the spatula under to remove them. If you put them back wanting a prettier shell or a bigger abalone, they are most likely gonna bleed out and/or die of an infection!
Can't be true professionals do fish downs ( collect abs where they are bunched up close together and spread them out )
When I was 12 I went to catalina island. took a small boat out with my step-dad. we stopped at a rocks that where above the water. we had snorkeling gear no wet suit. he asked me if i could swim down to the rocks below. I think it was about 15 feet down where i got ahold with my hands, but I was actually hanging on an abalone. I pulled it off and stared swimming back up to the boat. when i looked out to se my surroundings I saw a group of hammerheads swimming close. Freaked me out. I told my step-dad ... but all he was worried about was the abalone... such a dickhead, but it was one of the coolest things I ever did as a child.
sorry about my misspelled word's ; /

You kind of had it coming with a name like Chase, Adam. Lol
Har har har
Adam Chase
It looks like a fucking kabuto from Pokemon
That's because a kabuto IS suppose to represent a crab, besides metagross
Grow up, tards!
Aidan Ahrens lol
+Alex Tseng in the modern vocabulary it's the same ...
*Aidan Ahrens*
Kabuto is either one of or a mix between a horseshoe crab (which is a chelicerate) and/or a horseshoe shrimp (which is a crustacean) and/or a trilobite. Those are arthropods. An abalone is a snail, a mollusk.
Great vid dude! Can you please post a short vid on how to prep and cook abalone?
glad you made it through this time safely with no obstacles in your way.
I have noticed your sub numbers really shooting up recently. The word is out. That is cool. You stuff is well produced with good content. Now this is a good safer method, for someone not accustomed to swimming in the ocean along the shore.

easy picking. nice job Matt. learn to dive and you can go out at anytime with any tide.
Cool videos as always. Subbed. Thanks for putting these together.
Good to see you're ALIVE and out there getting abs man. It's addicting isn't it?
Now that's redemption right there! Way to go! I may have to try this out next time I'm up in Mendo
Nice little abs for rock picking good job it's cool to see you up north around where I grew up!
Abalone is on my list! We found a black abalone while filming a TV show (it'll air this month!) but those guys are off limits
nice! Which channel? I'd love to tune in
Fisherman's Life travel channel, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. We did a tidepooling catch n cook with them
Cool! I'll keep an eye out
Catch-N-Eat ll
Amazing
glad to see you're stoked on it again and you learn how to do it right very cool can't wait to see your underwater video maybe you'll start spearfishing
nice videos like always Matt. looks like alot fun only in low tide
As an experienced scuba and free diver, I have seen someone get themselves into a dangerous situation such as what was described in a portion of the video, and it only happened because they didn't follow my instructions, just because you see some rocks doesn't mean it's safe to exit the water in that spot.
Love your video bro. Would love to join ya for some fishing camping trip.
Keep up the good work.
nice work man! you've come along way from your snaring vids
Thanks bro!
I had not realized I’ve been watching your videos this long 😮
yummy, the abalone here in nz are tiny compared to those monsters, tempted to go to america just to taste one
love ur vids man. nice scenery and infos. keep up the good work! from singapore.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 “That’s mine, that’s mine”
Holy, those things are huge!
Nice shots of the turkey vultures in the beginning :)
great video dude :)
Sarah's laugh is so cute
"West coast of California," not to be confused with the east coast of California, lol.
I'm so glad someone else caught that. lol
Phenomenal 2112 lol
yknow california has islands.. so there are west and east coasts connect to water...
west coast of oregon....west coast of washington...
@@rock_oclock oregon isnt on the west coast
$300 for one?!?!? Catch me on the black market boys
DAM Right, this 8-4 shit got me livin in my truck lol
Tommy Le 300.00 in 10 minutes, count me in too🤑🤑🤑
Tommy Price hell yea
Lol then get fined for 60k then you will be sleeping in the same box together
Tj Degroote shiiiit its worth it
recently subscribed, and all i can say is your content is really good man. it makes me want to go fishing soo much!
Looks like a good time, man!
I watched.all.your videos and I don't even fish. But I feel so full and satisfied watching omg. Why why why
Im here as a result of reading the "warden force" series of books while I was incarcerated. There was numerous stories of people illegally harvesting, or way over harvesting these to sell on the black market. Apparently this is very lucrative (or was back in the 80s & 90s) the one story even mentioned a giant female abalone thats shell was 10 inches across. I had to see for myself what these creatues were, and how they are harvested using the abalone iron
hey Matts nice first harvest of abs.friends and i go to a few spots at fort bragg.we cruise right up to huge rocks with our RIB and dive 10 to 20 feet for good size abs...get a good dive light and check all the dark holes,cracks and under rock ledges thats usually where the big ones are....
Bro!! I can see your excitement!! Very cool!!! BUG YOU MUST SHOW MORE OF SARAH!!!!
Love watching your video. How low was tide that day?
thanks for sharing the spot Matt, a little far though.
nice job getting those quick!
Nice job. How tough is the climb to get down to the spot?
nice wetsuit man! I wanted an excel but got a quicksilver I'm in San Diego tho.. our water Temps don't drop as much as up north.. Spearfisherman in the making lol...
Nice to see that you went back out, next time be sure if you didn't this time to tag all you abs right after you get out of the water. Because of the fact your in such a popular area it gets checked more often than if your further north and if they aren't tagged after you get out of the water and they check while you two were snorkling, then they will be taken and you will be fined.
Wow! They're huge. Never tasted one.
I want a life like this someday with my gf
but you didnt get a rich daddy to pay your nazi welfare
Then do it
I had to chuckle... "We're over here on the WEST coast of California..,". Kind of hard to be on the east coast, isn't it?
Just found the channel the other night and am binge watching like crazy. We gotta get you a real knife bubba. I'll see what I can do for ya.
What beach or Gulch is this? And how close to actual town of Mendocino is it?
bro glad you had a better experience this time around. it looked fun. I never had abalone. what's it like. is the meat chewy? I'd love to go there. hit me up I'm in fremont. love to meet you in person. love all your adventures videos.
her laugh 😂
wow this video surprised me nice haul !
In NZ we call them paua and we usually either grind or chop them up and cook them with onion and cream
Post a video of you prepping and cooking the abalone.
good going.. I myself just started abalone this year.. definitely fun sport but need to be super careful.. i just go on minus tides and rock picking.. not ready for full dive yet. Be safe out there..
Thanks, you too. Was looking at wetsuits today. Hopefully I'll have one in a month or so and start going out and getting comfortable in the water. Good luck on your journey haha
you and your lady made a cool video 😁
I subscribed your channel i like what u do lol
Looks like you hit up sub surface progression for your suits and gear? If not I highly recommend stopping in there up in fort bragg.
Matt! Learn to swim before doing more collecting. I like this channel and I don't want the owner of it to die before the channel blows up.
Great video. I'm near Monterey Bay area. Where was that spot or where can I go for abalone ?
Thanks.
Andy.
how many abalone are allowed to pick up per day? Is this Oregon or Washington state?
Those are vultures
Hey Matt's, I'm a new subscriber. I just stumbled upon your channel and have watched nearly all of your videos. I'm near the Gulf of Mexico and was wondering if your snares would work for blue crab?
Couldn't tell you for sure...I've sold some to people who wanted to use them for that. Never heard back though. I don't see why they wouldn't
I love you man what you doing keep it up😄😄
could you share the exact location of that beach? like gps coordinate?
This was great! I did a LOT of diving in Hawaii! I definitely gotta try this out now that I moved back to CA.
Welcome back! Yeah try it out at a low tide or calm day. You'll get some in no time
where is this?
Where in Mendocino is this place if you don't mind me asking?
It's always super important to have a swimming buddies. but its more important to be overly prepared. I've done a lot of camping and recreational diving free diving. its very scary to lose control, and be swept under water. I remember when I was younger my brother and father went on a snorkling tour in the bamaha's or the virgin islands, one of those two. And the tour guide and my family were yanked out from knee deep water about 180 yards or so, the current was so strong it yanked other beach goers while the waves looked small unknown to us, there was a huge drop off and rip current that flowed right along side the beach we were at and the signs were ripped down from the storm. Not even the tour guide was familiar with it. everyone made it back to shore, but most were in a panic for 15-18 minutes of terror of treading water. luckily my little brother who was 3 years odl at the time, was picked up by one of the locals there who noticed people were swimming much further and harder than normal, and radio'd for help. they managed to swim back. needless to say my father never stepped foot into the ocean again.
Small world. Welcome to TSM. You'll learn a lot. Looking forward to the next underwater video.
Thanks brother. I saw your name and got excited that you were in the group lol. Thanks for watching and supporting my vids from the start!
Sssh!..be very, very quiet and don't tell anyone where that little cove is!
+Patrick Kitts don't worry, secrets safe with me! I've had people say the hope I drown because i wouldn't reveal the location lol
@@FishermansLife i know that spot very well!
Wow...where is this place?
Hey i was just wondering Where was this place located if u don't mind i ask??
Abalone and steak sounds delicious!
nice video buddy
That thumbnail look like u wearin a white tee lmao
Man! Is like shooting ducks in a barrel so quick and easy you don't even need the wet suit😜
May I ask for the direction how to get to this spot please
since the posting of this webisode all the abalone have been poached.
got 'em
What location in mendo?
You should show us how to cook and clean them!
Hey man, you're a great fisherman and I love your video's. I can only suggest maybe you gain a bit more experience before sharing info and videos with the large following you have. You're probably aware of the huge number of folks that see stuff on the web and then go trampling into nature. Keep at it, I'd love to bump into ya in the water one day :D
I hear you. Thanks for the comment. Hope to see you out there!
I didn't hear you say it was private, my bad. A useful bit might be that they are hemophiliac. If they are injured when trying to pry, they will bleed out. You've got me back cliff fishing like a fiend, keep doin yo thang.
Yoo take me fishing.
haha in NZ we call it Paua
More shellfish videos! Razor clams, geoduck, etc.
love this guy!
Is this Abalone Cove in Palos Verdes? Where is this beach?
What a nice video!
I love it so much!
thanks!
It's one of my favorite foods to eat. 😊❤👍
ive been to this beach, has a bunch of otters around too
Those are huge, do you think you can share the location? I'm not a strong swimmer and this location is great!!
I think you should show us how you harvest them in the ocean 😊
Hi, can you drop me the location of the abalone please
I love your voice.
Awesome....Nice to watch....!!!!
nice score bro I'm jealous keep it a secret so it doesn't get raided
Can u tell me address of this spot,it looks a great place to get abalone.
