Loved seeing you in the areas I spend time in. Reading the comments, great to see so many folks in Washington that watch your channel. Thanks for showing off our state to your viewers!
Every time I watch your videos, I'm reminded of my growing up years in San Mateo county. I miss the old days, the 1970s. Fishing and crabbing the bay, over to the coast half moon bay south to Pescadero. Wonderful times. After California i moved to the Oregon coast. Better fishing and crabbing. For me, you are still the SF bay area.
Crescent City is my home town. I don't live there anymore cuz I joined the air force. But I come home every year to fish for salmon/steelhead. It's very cool that a youtuber that I have watched for several years pass through there. thank you fishermans life for passing through my home! come back someday for steelhead!! Thanks you again!!
My guy is listening to Krayzie Bone!!!! I had to rewind it like 3 times just to make sure i knew what i heard lol. That's awesome man. I love Krayzie. I just became an even bigger fan of your channel my guy. Bone thugs are the greatest in my opinion
Hi Matts, Iv'e seen most of your videos and they are awesome. I was a little disappointed in this one. Not because of you, but the guys you went to meet up with. If you came to see me I would've been jacked/excited and you would have known it. Both the guys you went to visit were so nonchalant about your visit and didn't show a lot of enthusiasm. I mean you drove all that way and you slept in your car? You should have been a guest in his home and if he had no room for you he should have treated you to a hotel. I'm sorry , I don't want to sound petty but that is how you should have been treated I believe. Too bad you passed right by me in Seaside Oregon. I would have shown you around and even have had a spare room for you. Love your videos, see ya soon sometime when you are out and about. I miss SF and love going back. Great videos
It's called the "Seattle Freeze", but it's pretty prominent in all of the coastal Pacific Northwest. People just aren't interested in being friendly or making new friends. It's weird...
@Bullpent, you literally took the words right out of my mouth! My boyfriend and I were watching this and couldn't believe how unfriendly the dude was and thar Matt slept in his car outside this guy's house. I'm really glad you said something and I love that you would have offered your place 😊
@Bullpent Fully agreed. It's almost like he treated Matt like he was a predator and I can feel from Matt's expressions and small verbal hints at his massive disappointment.
It's like dude invited you but didn't really want you there. I grew up in tacoma dude was stuck up and dont realize thousands of us would love to fish with you. Unfortunate you picked one who dont know how to appreciate you brotha.
Very interesting video. Liked it a lot, past less than 4 miles of my home crossing that interstate bridge between Washington and Oregon. Looked like a fun time like usual. Thanks for sharing.
Yo I'm stoked you came to my home state of Washington and sorry to disappoint but this state has so much to offer. Explore a little more there's world class fisheries everywhere along with the most beautiful views. Come back give it a shot both east and west at the right time of year and you may not want to leave. Also I've been following for about ten years and never commented. Tight lines my dude!
Matts, I always enjoy your videos. Just wish you had a warmer welcome from your host. Thanks for sharing your experience and trip with us. Showing my support by watching the ads too.
I lived on Whidbey for a few years as my last duty station before retiring from the Navy. Hope you got to experience some of the local food and scenery. Pass lake just north of deception pass is fantastic for fly fishing trout. Your video made me nostalgic…. In Roseville, CA now.
So awesome to see you went to Whidbey Island. I grew up digging steamer clams, horse clams and crabbing in the bay on the west side of the southern tip of the island. My grandparents had a second home on the Island that has since been sold so I don't get to go to the same spot anymore. It was a private access beach so only people in their neighborhood are allowed to access it.
A float fish trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon would be rich! I live here in Washington. Love Whidbey Island, Puget Sound, and the south coast.....Ilwaco, Westport, Long Beach and Ocean Shores. Our playground!
To add onto another part of that fun fact. All the interstates between 200-300 are connecters between those big highways. If you're ever up in Vancouver, there is a nice beach where you can walk out in waders and then forage Dungeys. Just bring a big net. Same limit as Washington.
I’m from Whidbey Island! It was cool to see you made the trek up here! Come back next year when the pinks are running they come in the millions and it’s a blast to catch them from the shore. I’ve got a couple spots I go that are private and secluded to avoid the crowds. 😁 I’ll take you and whoever out for the day. We live on an old farm with an outdoor kitchen, cob pizza oven and a camping area (soon to be a hip camp) Anyways the pinks are nice and chrome cause they’re still in the salt and whidbey is one of the first places they hit coming out of the ocean down the straight. Glad you were able to get on a couple coho and some crab. A little slim in October. Bite was crazy hot first two weeks of September this year. Also I’ve never done that Jetty and now after seeing this I think I’ll make a run down there in the spring! Thanks for the vid as always and safe happy travels to ya!
@@bgbg2921 nah dude, we have heated accommodations around these parts available to friends and family and invited guests. Ain’t nobody sleeping in a car unless they really want to. We take great care of our guests. And we do have a kick ass meadow with a fire pit for peeps who wanna sleep under the stars. You can let Matt know since you’re implying you know him and can speak on his behalf.
Go Wildcats. Deception Pass has a crazy salmon run, also at Keystone and Port Townsend. Skagit River too. All in a 45 mile radius. Best memories of friends and fishing. Thanks for taking me back!
glad you could do some fishing up my way! the south end of Whidbey gets really packed salmon fishing in August - next year is a Pink year so you should come back up for that!
Come to Thailand I'll take you out on my boat and go for some exotics. GT's, King mackerel, Cobia, squid. Whatever you want. Also love your getaway fishing vids. Makes me miss the west coast.
love your video as always, I learn a lot about fishing from your video, and following your adventure. You should come by in vancouver Canada and try salmon fishing in B.C. river.
This guy made you sleep in your car? What a horrible host. If you’re ever in El Paso TX, we’ll go fishing for catfish in Southern New Mexico. And yes, you’ll stay in my house and I’ll feed you good bbq. 👍🏼
Your friend is really introverted uh. Didnt really feel the warmth of meeting a friend, its almost like u were a hassle. Didn't even host u in his house and let u sleep in the car. That must really suck after travelling so far to meet "a friend".
Welcome to the PNW! Damn, I live in Seattle and would have loved to meet you and show you, the legend the local secret crabbing and awesome fishing spots! Also, most Washingtonians aren't all grumpy and cold like that dude. Talk about dry!
You should come to Canada on Vancouver Island! It's beautiful here and the fishing is good both seawater and freshwater. Victoria is the capital here. There is a jetty on Dallas Rd I usually fish on. You can go on charters for resident salmon or halibut. You can bring your family and make it a nice vacation getaway.
Maybe I’m just from the south and I don’t understand it… But I will say this, if you’re gonna drive that far to see me and meet me, we’re gonna go out fish fishin, And you’re gonna spend quite a bit of time with me, then there will be a bed in my house that you can sleep in. I understand you don’t quite know people, and you have to be careful, but if it’s somebody in this situation, I would easily like I said, have a room in my house that you could sleep in. And it would be in a safe part of the house where if somebody was weird, they wouldn’t be able to get near me or my family.
I really enjoy your videos. And you were in some amazing country Plan another trip in late August early September and take your boat. Take the ferry out of Anacortes and go to Lopez Island. There are a couple of places to camp (I recommend Spencer Spit State Park) and you can rent a slip for the boat at Lopez Island Marina if you wish. You'll get plenty of crab. You'll have a great time and see some incredible scenery.
Crazy to think you drove right past my home when u went over the Columbia River. Gotta go up to the puget islands and do some jigging. Loadsssss of fish to wrangle in. Or stop by in Vancouver and come slay some coho in small creeks, got some secret goodies.
As someone that lives in OR and watches your channel it was crazy to see you stop in Canyonville hit Elpariso and roll by 7 feathers. Wish I would have known. There are some amazing food spots around here. Would have loved to drop some tips.
I know my comment will get lost in the sauce but just wanted to say if you ever wanna come fish the East coast lemme know man. We got way different fish down here in Savannah GA and I know you’d be stoked to target some redfish, seatrout, and sheepshead. Always stoked on your videos man, preciate you putting in the work!!!
You need to come up to the burney/montgomery creek/ mccarther area highway 299 alone will have you wondering where all the dirt roads go to. Mostly Sierra pacific land up here but once your past it it’s great hiking fishing and hunting with nobody out here but locals this time of year
I wish I would have known you were coming to Whidbey Island I live right on the other side of deception pass bridge crazy that you came to Whidbey Island I watch all your videos every single one of them for tomorrow crazy this is where I live
“I hate it hereeee” after saying ‘pretty popping town’ is hilarious 😂😂
Definitely well timed😂😂😂
NPC lol😅
Place does seem pretty miserable
lol the timing was perfect, haha
the way it was from her soul🤣🤣🤣
Loved seeing you in the areas I spend time in. Reading the comments, great to see so many folks in Washington that watch your channel. Thanks for showing off our state to your viewers!

Woke up and saw a new vlog. Good start to the day. Miss traveling up to OR and WA. That little girl has the makings of a YT star. Peace.
Yes we enjoyed the video ! Awesome roadtrip. We appreciate your effort Matts
My guy is listening to Krayzie Bone!!!! I had to rewind it like 3 times just to make sure i knew what i heard lol. That's awesome man. I love Krayzie. I just became an even bigger fan of your channel my guy. Bone thugs are the greatest in my opinion
Don't know much bout them .... But "Smokin' Budda" is one of my all time fav tracks.... Hi from Lithuania (north/east europe)
Matts in his first vids used to have some tracks. I’m sure he had to switch it up for copyright purposes when he started getting 5 digit followers.
Love the first state fishing plug. Dude deserves more love.
18:00 Safelite repair, Safelite replace! That was a long drive and great video! Thank you
Finally the legend has posted. Think I was on the brink of going through withdrawals.
same
No butter, no avocado? You’re slacking! 😂
5:26 FL: 'looks like a pretty nice town" Local :" I HATE IT HEEERE!!!" 😂😂😂😂
I about died laughing when I heard that!
😂😂😂..must be a outsider

I got the same impression.

At it again! Thanks for another adventure.
It's like dude invited you but didn't really want you there. I grew up in tacoma dude was stuck up and dont realize thousands of us would love to fish with you. Unfortunate you picked one who dont know how to appreciate you brotha.
Stupid comment not everyone has to be a fan and fangirl over Matt he just met up with dudes to fish with not everyone watches his vids
@@chrisdatasiankid well they didn’t have to be ice cold towards him either, he had him sleep in his car outside not even on the couch or floor inside…
@@gabevomfell7742 how do know if he offered Matt or not how do u know if he did n Matt denied cuz he already had a sleeping set up in his car.
Awesome seeing you here. Small correction though. Our fishing licenses are from April 1st until March 31st.
I like these road trip videos! 👍 living the dream
Very interesting video. Liked it a lot, past less than 4 miles of my home crossing that interstate bridge between Washington and Oregon. Looked like a fun time like usual. Thanks for sharing.
Too cool! I grew up on Whidbey (Oak Harbor), fishing for silvers (Coho) and crabbing.
Thanks for the update on the california fishing license. Really great to know they finally changed it.
Love the text in the sky! Great editing.

Same

Showing my support by watching the ads too.
Thanks Quan!
@@FishermansLifeSomeone here reckons u might’ve refused sleeping in ur host’s house hence u sleeping in ur car. Is that true
I grew up on Whidbey. We slayed the coho . The crabbing is going good this winter. It's nice to see it on film.
are you still in whidbley now?
im from cali an that drive through seattle was awesome it gave me flashbacks from when i lived there a few years ago.
Not all trips go as planned, but is always good to see what the world has to offer. Hope you have better visits in the future!
Not all hosts are as dead inside as this guy..couldn't even accommodate a warm couch?
I lived on Whidbey for a few years as my last duty station before retiring from the Navy. Hope you got to experience some of the local food and scenery. Pass lake just north of deception pass is fantastic for fly fishing trout. Your video made me nostalgic…. In Roseville, CA now.
It's so trippy seeing you on Whidbey. I've been going to that area since I was a little kid! Glad you had a good time.
Great seeing Whidby Island again. I was stationed there and miss the place.
Home of the A-6's when I was in.
I enjoyed it. Fishermans life. Il always will watch your videos
Another great video, well done. Thank you for having a positive channel.❤
omfg, blew my mind with the fact about odd and even numbered highways. that's so cool
The drive up north is beautiful! Dope content!
Deception pass is so beautiful in the summer :)
Nothing more california than rolling to WA state in October without pants or a rain shell.
So awesome to see you went to Whidbey Island. I grew up digging steamer clams, horse clams and crabbing in the bay on the west side of the southern tip of the island. My grandparents had a second home on the Island that has since been sold so I don't get to go to the same spot anymore.

really enjoy these exploration vids Matt, happy travels to the next location 🎣
Crazy. I went on my honeymoon in Westport, WA all the way from Alabama. I love Washington and Oregon.
Always good to see you bud. Another adventure!!!
Cool video! I have been in those same places in years past…fish on!!
Damn you drive all that way and homeboy couldn't even put you up in one of his rooms.
That’s what I was thinking too
Honestly if you haven’t car camped in Washington you’re missing out. I’m sure our buy insisted on camping out lol
@@bigbrain779 Same here...
Love the Westport jetty crabbing & fishing... taking the boat out Dec 6 for the first week of pot opening... Fish-On! M.
What a great adventure really loved it.
awesome video matt. been watching for a long time and loved every moment

@ 😂😂
No thanks, on behalf of Matt. U didn’t even mention him sleeping in his car. U wanna do same as ur fellow Washingtonian?
@@bgbg2921 nah dude, we have heated accommodations around these parts available to friends and family and invited guests. Ain’t nobody sleeping in a car unless they really want to.

@@TomGiffin glad to hear you look after your guests very well. No, I don’t know Matt personally. Just offended on his behalf lol.
So cute the little girl..❤ great video..really enjoy it..
Nothing like the watching the guy that taught me to fish my home jetty actually fishing my home jetty
Dude day did not want you there they even not smile get friends who would got over for you love your videos
He made you sleep in the car lol? Usually when people invite you on trips they have a bed somewhere for you. Wild
That's what I'm saying! Totally agree with you.
Jay hooked you up buddy , your in a good place , good to see you back now where’s my ( man and his land )..lol luv ya bro 👍 Washington
A bed would've been nice too.
Another Fantastic video.. ty man keep it up 💪🍻👌
sorry mate, your "friend" had you sleeping in the car prior to going out on an adventure...??? nice friend
Respect for shouting out First state fishings seasoning!
Go Wildcats. Deception Pass has a crazy salmon run, also at Keystone and Port Townsend. Skagit River too. All in a 45 mile radius. Best memories of friends and fishing. Thanks for taking me back!
glad you could do some fishing up my way! the south end of Whidbey gets really packed salmon fishing in August - next year is a Pink year so you should come back up for that!
Love your videos calms my life down a lot haha
Westport is great. When I'm not catching on the Bayside, I switch to the surf side for some red tailed perch.
Come to Thailand I'll take you out on my boat and go for some exotics. GT's, King mackerel, Cobia, squid. Whatever you want.
Also love your getaway fishing vids. Makes me miss the west coast.
Nice seeing some Washington fishing I love I live here
matts you should link up with deer meat for dinner and do a florida series! epic vid man thankyou for sharing stay safe!
Rob is a legend but I don't think they could be any more different as people. I think they would be odd together
Wack, I unsubscribed from all TH-cam channels that do disingenuous charitable acts for views. Deer meat was one of them.
@@TheElectrcChickn what did he do?
21:52 - Sneaky a$$ cormorant ate his bait and Matts didn't even realize..😂
The San Juan Islands are amazing!!!!
Beautiful. Reminds me of Maine
Welcome to the great PNW! I was just at westport few months ago :) it was a blast! got in on some rockfish and ling
love your video as always, I learn a lot about fishing from your video, and following your adventure.
You should come by in vancouver Canada and try salmon fishing in B.C. river.
Damnnn you were in my hometown, I wish I ran into you 🙌
bro i wish i knew that you coming here. i have some good look outs and hikes. you flew right by my city.
This guy made you sleep in your car? What a horrible host. If you’re ever in El Paso TX, we’ll go fishing for catfish in Southern New Mexico. And yes, you’ll stay in my house and I’ll feed you good bbq. 👍🏼
I WENT TO VISIT OREGON FOR A WEEK AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR, AND IT RAINED THE WHOLE WEEK WHEN I WAS THERE. LOL
Your friend is really introverted uh. Didnt really feel the warmth of meeting a friend, its almost like u were a hassle. Didn't even host u in his house and let u sleep in the car. That must really suck after travelling so far to meet "a friend".
Eh, you don’t know either of these people personally. And he said he met him on insta
Cool seeing you in the PNW. Enjoy it man.
Welcome to the PNW! Damn, I live in Seattle and would have loved to meet you and show you, the legend the local secret crabbing and awesome fishing spots!

Was waiting on the new vid love it bro🙌

Yeah that was raw!
awesome video man. enjoyed it .
After the end of the jetty there is a sunken jetty that goes out even further than the jetty is long. Fish out of Westport every year for salmon.
Hope you enjoyed your stay here in Washington State 😁
I really enjoy your videos. And you were in some amazing country Plan another trip in late August early September and take your boat. Take the ferry out of Anacortes and go to Lopez Island. There are a couple of places to camp (I recommend Spencer Spit State Park) and you can rent a slip for the boat at Lopez Island Marina if you wish. You'll get plenty of crab. You'll have a great time and see some incredible scenery.
Nice combining fishing with some city car tour.
Awww dang. You up in my neck of the woods there. I'm in Port Townsend. Sooooo close. Oh well. Good video.
Welcome to Washington man. I hope you had a fun trip.
Crazy to think you drove right past my home when u went over the Columbia River. Gotta go up to the puget islands and do some jigging. Loadsssss of fish to wrangle in. Or stop by in Vancouver and come slay some coho in small creeks, got some secret goodies.
Another helluva cool adventure!
That phoenix inn u passed is where I grew up in. Albany Oregon. Now living in South lake Tahoe, California . Enjoy your vids bro
As someone that lives in OR and watches your channel it was crazy to see you stop in Canyonville hit Elpariso and roll by 7 feathers. Wish I would have known. There are some amazing food spots around here. Would have loved to drop some tips.
I know my comment will get lost in the sauce but just wanted to say if you ever wanna come fish the East coast lemme know man. We got way different fish down here in Savannah GA and I know you’d be stoked to target some redfish, seatrout, and sheepshead. Always stoked on your videos man, preciate you putting in the work!!!
Love your vids! ❤ would love to come cook for ya bro😂😂😂 dem recipes 😮😮😮😮😅😅😅
Good eating!!! 🎣🎣🎣🎣
You need to come up to the burney/montgomery creek/ mccarther area highway 299 alone will have you wondering where all the dirt roads go to. Mostly Sierra pacific land up here but once your past it it’s great hiking fishing and hunting with nobody out here but locals this time of year
Went to the jetty late August and the water was murky too. Didn't even get a bite that day. Even moved to 6 different spots along the jetty.
I wish I would have known you were coming to Whidbey Island I live right on the other side of deception pass bridge crazy that you came to Whidbey Island I watch all your videos every single one of them for tomorrow crazy this is where I live
Good crabbing in Westport!
21:52 That cormorant had excellent comedic timing
that guy Jay , what an A S S, he didn't even invite you to sleep inside his house.
damnn, havent been to washington for a while imma have to visit, i used to always go to deceptions pass it was very nice, keep up the work!
