I’m a 33 year old mum that runs a beauty therapy business from home and this is where I find myself every day.. watching this guy fish. I think this looks like life as it should be lived. So relaxing to watch and interesting too.
Love the video... hate that you dont have a PFD and the motor kill switch on you! You go over the last thing you will see before you go under will be the Butter Boat headed towards the horizon without you. Really enjoy your sense of wonder and joyful enthusiasm. Wear your safety crap and ensure that we will be able to watch you for a long time. Dont wanna hear about the TH-camr who's legacy was footage of him going overboard never to be seen again. Beautiful fish, beautiful scenery.
Congrats! And no seasickness! Get a auto inflate life vest and wear your radio.. if you go over trolling by yourself you are in real trouble. Your boat will keep going without you.
8:30 "We did it!" Man... last time i watched this was when the vid first came out... You've gone so far. Awesome job. also hilarious hearing you say you'll get used to the sea-sickness eventually, then watching vids 2 years later with you throwin up.
Joseph Carr I guess because of the fact they can feel pain and it’s not a quick death if your just getting hit so many times until you die I rather make it a quick death
Dude that whale was freakin gnarly! So glad you caught it on camera. Must be hella trippy seeing such a humongous animal in live action like that only a couple football fields away. And congrats on the first salmon in the boat that sequence had everyone biting their nails lol. Another great video brotha thank you and Godspeed ✌️
9:40 1st keeper King Salmon caught gibberish hahahahha my girl and I were busting up she was half asleep laughing she said you can tell his adrenaline is pumping! Great video Matt.....Lets GOOOOO!!!!
Congratz on the first Butter Boat salmon brother!!! You had me on the edge of my seat, bringing in that first big salmon that you landed. Got to love hooking up with one last fish, when retrieving your bait, to head in for the day.
I cracked up at the end when you were all pumped up after landing the last fish. You were all like "hell yeah , that's how we do it....let's bonk him real quick" cut to black scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude your channel is epic, I love fishing did a lot when I was a kid with my dad, not so much now but you've inspired me to get back out there so thanks. Also your "bonker" is called a priest I know you already know but I had to say
Watched this 50mins ago but stuck around to read comments while I replay it...anyone else? Lol I still can’t tell if Matts is funny on purpose 🤣 “Fish Bonker”! 😂 “Got a bloody deck out here!” 😅 Lawd!
Glad you didnt fall out the boat netting. Good vid. I never fished before, but watched ur vids for a year. Went to tahiti last week. Family went for jet ski. I stayed home (airbnb). Decided to try fishing on a small kayak. Caught 2 small little fish and threw back. I had the same feeling like you, catching fish for the first time!
Good going, no excitement like your first chinook! Another tip is that you actually can turn off your trolling motor while fighting the fish. Especially with an 5.8/1 retrieve rate and no flasher. It's not helping you when you leave the motor unmanned and are turning in circles. When you turn towards the fish it is causing more problems than helping.
you have the best view, especially with the whales jumping !! Congratulations on your first Salmon in your boat too. I see some other videos with you holding a bigger fish , going to check it out . Keep up the great work on your fishing trips. Peace
Nice catch, it takes some practice and timing to net or gaff your own fish.Couple suggestions. Get a spare gas tank, that's twice now I have seen you questioning if you have enough fuel. I'm assuming your using a plastic tank with a quick disconnect, get a second one even if you need to get a smaller one and it will also come in handy balancing your boat in a swell.Also, there is multicolored braid that is a different color every 10 feet, I'm sure your tackle store buddy can order you some. Some day when you have some time you might want to drag that diving plane over a sandy bottom with no hooks and find out exactly how much scope you need for a given depth. I have a feeling it's a lot more than your guessing. You can log the depths at different speeds and have a better idea because if your bait isn't in the zone your wasting your time.Keep it up bro, I really enjoy watching your vids.Dave
Been waiting for your vid for too long and I think this is one of your best, it was worth the wait. Keep feeding us with your adventures...plz!!! Love your work bro!
Man bro you for reals the realest dude on TH-cam fishing and enjoying it like without no filters added to your videos!!! Got the upmost respect for you brother and keep these videos coming!!!
Quick trick when landing/Fishing by urself on a boat. Put the Rod back in the Holder and Hand line the fish the rest of the way using the leader/Line, this will keep him from coming off and will help you feel the fish and makes it easier to land !!! Great Videos !!
This video was so cool. It had so much in it the whales, the net, the salmon, the word blunders. I think you were so excited to hit the water! I would be too for those salmon. I think it was one of your best videos cuz of the content. Keep it up man
YOU..!!! Made me jumping dude... My internet is logging and the video stop from time to time, then when I saw the part you almost had the fish, then the video STOP..WTF..!!! then video continue and I saw the salmon...F***..!!!! YES..!!! That was like HOMERUN..!!!!!!
Dude... Great recording. Please idle your motor when you get a fish...you can keep tension BY REELING Also...better if you keep the net out if the water until you need it! The fish CAN SEE IT. Fight the fish, tire it out THEN use your net when it is close and tired. Besides that you did great. Great videos!
Hey Matt, I met a friend of yours today in Harbor Springs Michigan today while he was fishing a lil Walmart rig off the doc. I can’t remember his name, nice guy. Love your videos, feels like a small world. Tight lines to ya brother!
hey by the way, when netting by yourself it is super easy to get them in close here's a great tip if fishing off the right side of the boat. kick your motor to the left slightly this will make you do circles to the left keeping your fish to the right rear the back of the boat allowing your plan (sitting on the cooler netting right handed to go off flawlessly) also let them tire out a little more. I know its super exciting but if you have a good hook set the time is on your side. keep them at about 10-15 feet circle left with them on the right and wait till they are done fighting. plan out your fights to last 10-15 minutes, relish the battle. cant wait to see some more. (:
Couldn't do California but the view and all the saltwater fish are awesome to see. Congrats on salmon... solo in a 12' boat. I can't believe that boat floats with the stones it takes to use that in the open water of the Pacific... yeah I'm jealous...
Good job! I saw you that day trolling around the buoys around 11. I was headed back in from getting limits at Pedro point. Glad you made it out and got some!
Love you videos bro! My 12-year old son and I are hooked on your videos. I'm Filipino and love eating fish as much as I love catching fish! Keep it up and you got another subscriber here.
what an awesome day, congratulations! i felt the same way when i caught my first cobia, i had mom with me, she said it was the biggest fish she had ever seen,
Dude you totally inspired me. Been out to the coast a few times and finally caught one! A 14" rock greenling. I gotta run to Safeway and grab me an avocado and little bit of butter! Thanks for the vids, they're a wealth of info and entertainment. Keep up the good work!
Fisherman’s Life - A guide to key phrases:
Hell yeah.
Fish in butter with avocado.
Oh no I dropped the food again.
Maaaaaaan that’s good. 😂😂
And "damnnn i forgot the ____"
Just a little bit of better
not to forget 'I'll just bonk him one time' (succeded by multiple bonks)
It's butta, don't forget a little bit of that butta lol
"that's a keeper right there"
😂 the net struggles , congrats man! That's awesome, especially out there with those whales too! So sick
Thanks bro. Following your Iceland trip too. Totally making me want to visit
Still waiting for you two to collaborate soon!!! 🔥
Reel up almost to your diver makes it easier for one handed netting 👍
Yall need to link man
Yeah those whales would make me nervous af.
Said it before and I’ll say it again best content on TH-cam
I’m a 33 year old mum that runs a beauty therapy business from home and this is where I find myself every day.. watching this guy fish. I think this looks like life as it should be lived. So relaxing to watch and interesting too.
I saw a youtube notification and its 3 am and I knew it had to be fisherman's life.
Love the video... hate that you dont have a PFD and the motor kill switch on you! You go over the last thing you will see before you go under will be the Butter Boat headed towards the horizon without you. Really enjoy your sense of wonder and joyful enthusiasm. Wear your safety crap and ensure that we will be able to watch you for a long time. Dont wanna hear about the TH-camr who's legacy was footage of him going overboard never to be seen again. Beautiful fish, beautiful scenery.
bleeding the gills in the water out there, expect a visit from some bigger, bigger fish haha.. great video tho!
@Gibbs yeah, i wouldn't do that, not in a boat like that. lol
BIG CHARK BOI
Gibb my boy Caesar
Sharks ever swim by you? Those humpbacks breaching was the best !!
Heeeelllll yeaaaa!
Bro you watch fisherman’s life omg bro love your vids exotics
Congrats! And no seasickness! Get a auto inflate life vest and wear your radio.. if you go over trolling by yourself you are in real trouble. Your boat will keep going without you.
Northern California Fishing Videos will do thank you for the tip
Northern California Fishing Videos he should also use the clip that kills the engine if you fall
Fishing channels have the best communities on youtube.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW dick butt
In that little boat in the ocean, I would actually make a discipline of using the kill switch leash and I would buy (and wear) a personal EPIRB.
8:30 "We did it!"
Man... last time i watched this was when the vid first came out... You've gone so far. Awesome job.
also hilarious hearing you say you'll get used to the sea-sickness eventually, then watching vids 2 years later with you throwin up.
I like how happy he was to “bonk” he fish😂. Seem like he enjoyed that part more than he fight😂😂😂
Josh Shiffler but he missed the bonk and probably hurt the fish 😕 but congrats
He’s going to eat it...why does it matter if it gets hurt...?
Wow the triggered carebear's who only eat "packaged meat".... Look up slaughter houses ;) Fucking idiots..
matthew hurlburt i eat fried chicken in front of Actual living breathing chickens and i feed some of the fried chicken to them
Joseph Carr I guess because of the fact they can feel pain and it’s not a quick death if your just getting hit so many times until you die I rather make it a quick death
Bashes the fish 4 times
"Guys, I'm keeping this one"
No kidding
Lmfaooooo!!!! I love this!
OMG I was gonna comment the exact same thing and I saw this
Dude that whale was freakin gnarly! So glad you caught it on camera. Must be hella trippy seeing such a humongous animal in live action like that only a couple football fields away. And congrats on the first salmon in the boat that sequence had everyone biting their nails lol. Another great video brotha thank you and Godspeed ✌️
9:40 1st keeper King Salmon caught gibberish hahahahha my girl and I were busting up she was half asleep laughing she said you can tell his adrenaline is pumping! Great video Matt.....Lets GOOOOO!!!!
You should make a shirt that says “Hell Yeah Lets Go””! Also those 🐋 had me hyped.
Andrew! Thanks for the call! This episode would never happen without you! HELL YEAH!
Congratz on the first Butter Boat salmon brother!!! You had me on the edge of my seat, bringing in that first big salmon that you landed.
Got to love hooking up with one last fish, when retrieving your bait, to head in for the day.
This episodes chop full of surprises! White knuckle, heart pounding, jaw dropping excitement level over 9000!
I was about to go to sleep then I saw the notification. Not gonna miss any vid
Cesar Rivas same
Nothing compares to a beautiful salmon in your net , except a beautiful salmon on your plate and belly !
That whale sighting was incredible man! Loving the boat vids too!!!
I cracked up at the end when you were all pumped up after landing the last fish. You were all like "hell yeah , that's how we do it....let's bonk him real quick" cut to black scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude your channel is epic, I love fishing did a lot when I was a kid with my dad, not so much now but you've inspired me to get back out there so thanks.
Also your "bonker" is called a priest I know you already know but I had to say
9:40 "Got it put... get... got it put... get..." 😂😂 Doesn't matter bro! You got it!!!👍👍
Watched this 50mins ago but stuck around to read comments while I replay it...anyone else? Lol I still can’t tell if Matts is funny on purpose 🤣 “Fish Bonker”! 😂 “Got a bloody deck out here!” 😅 Lawd!
Susan Tomi high af probably lol 😂
Same here.......
Your excitement in this video makes it one of your best!
Love how you make it feel like we are in the boat with ya! 🐳 were awesome! Can't wait for the next one.
I like that you bled and cleaned the fish instead of letting it rot in its own digestive fluids. That will be prime eats
I have to be up for work in a couple hours... but I couldn't pass up a new fishin vid!! Happy Friday! 🐟
Kay Regnilloh happy Friday! 😁
Alexdscorpio 10 Happy Friday to you as well
Kay Regnilloh happy Friday
Kay Regnilloh right
Best fishing channel on TH-cam IMO. Your excitement for fishing is palpable! Congrats on the first salmon from your own boat!
“Got my fish bonker, got it clipgoo gotit cligood got it..” 😂
Your enthusiasm is special and really cool to watch. Thanks for the great videos!
"let's bonk this fish real quick...."
Bonk
Bonk
Bonk
Bonk
Bonk
And than after he be like yea that’s a keeper like no crap 😂
Glad you didnt fall out the boat netting. Good vid. I never fished before, but watched ur vids for a year. Went to tahiti last week. Family went for jet ski. I stayed home (airbnb). Decided to try fishing on a small kayak. Caught 2 small little fish and threw back. I had the same feeling like you, catching fish for the first time!
you better work on that bonk bro. Put a little more stank on it.
Hey I am very thankful for you making videos because my dad and I learn a lot from your videos and we have a great time fishing in the Bay Area
I got so worried a shark was gonna pop up since he started bleeding the Salmon.
Vanny Math yeah same here good things nothing happens to our fisherman.
Vanny Math i know right i got scared too
Whale at 6:48 and 15:17 was an awesome sight. Many of us who have never been at sea might never witness such a sight in our lifetime.
Good going, no excitement like your first chinook! Another tip is that you actually can turn off your trolling motor while fighting the fish. Especially with an 5.8/1 retrieve rate and no flasher. It's not helping you when you leave the motor unmanned and are turning in circles. When you turn towards the fish it is causing more problems than helping.
Will do!
you have the best view, especially with the whales jumping !! Congratulations on your first Salmon in your boat too. I see some other videos with you holding a bigger fish , going to check it out . Keep up the great work on your fishing trips. Peace
Let’s Go Matts, great catches ! This is the video that is going to get you way past 400K 😀... first salmon on the butter boat and great whales shots !
Carlos Fung He’s SO close!!
Hell yeah! Congrats! Busting me up over here at the end "let's bonk him real quick". You're so stoked, I love it.
Man i love this channel! Awesome and please be safe out there 👍🏻🔥✌🏼👑👑👑
I haven’t fish for years now but somehow i really enjoy your content, reminds me of my time when i was a child fishing with my dad.

Love it!! Dude, my whole family just absolutely live watching you. I definitely miss fishing with my dad! Thanks for the memory!
Lol he really wanted to use that fish bonker thingy
One of my five top favorite TH-cam channels
Fisherman : I know you want to!!
Fish : .__. Beg your pardon
You were not alone in that boat... I was with you in spirit...! Just wish I could have helped more! ;)
Congrats on the nice catch, and enjoy them!
Stayed awake until 3am just for this!
Charles Taylor pruv
Been waiting for your vid for too long and I think this is one of your best, it was worth the wait. Keep feeding us with your adventures...plz!!! Love your work bro!
Nothing better than a solo trip sometimes
Get in my net! Love the zoom in shots of the rod tip banging. Keep rocking!!
9:41 through 9:45 😂😂 what are u saying

Man bro you for reals the realest dude on TH-cam fishing and enjoying it like without no filters added to your videos!!! Got the upmost respect for you brother and keep these videos coming!!!

Says their delicate little guys then proceeds to drop it from 3 feet in the air, smashing it into the side of the boat!! Clean release, lol!!!😂😅😢😢
I don't even fish but I love these vids
Lol ur bud is right you got huge cajones. Especially throwing all those end trails into the water. Hell yeah! I really enjoy ur vids.
2 AM and i had to watch a new vid
Quick trick when landing/Fishing by urself on a boat. Put the Rod back in the Holder and Hand line the fish the rest of the way using the leader/Line, this will keep him from coming off and will help you feel the fish and makes it easier to land !!! Great Videos !!
Oh Dang my boy just released a Vid...Holler!
Matts is the man! Need a bigger butter tub. My favorite vids are the camp and cook.
Watching him use that net with one hand on the rod was the most stressful minute of my life lmaoooo
This video was so cool. It had so much in it the whales, the net, the salmon, the word blunders. I think you were so excited to hit the water! I would be too for those salmon. I think it was one of your best videos cuz of the content. Keep it up man
YOU..!!! Made me jumping dude... My internet is logging and the video stop from time to time, then when I saw the part you almost had the fish, then the video STOP..WTF..!!! then video continue and I saw the salmon...F***..!!!! YES..!!! That was like HOMERUN..!!!!!!
Congrats man and thanks for another awesome vid! You got some balls for making those long runs in the Butter boat.
Came for the fishing, stayed for the whale!
Love watching your vids because most fishing channels are east coast so its nice to see something different
Dude...
Great recording.
Please idle your motor when you get a fish...you can keep tension BY REELING
Also...better if you keep the net out if the water until you need it! The fish CAN SEE IT. Fight the fish, tire it out THEN use your net when it is close and tired. Besides that you did great. Great videos!
Your killin it bro! Literally and figuratively. So happy for your success. First swapping cars quick, now boats. Movin' on up! Let's go!
*”Butter might be involved”* MIGHT...
We all know exactly what that means.
Hey Matt, I met a friend of yours today in Harbor Springs Michigan today while he was fishing a lil Walmart rig off the doc. I can’t remember his name, nice guy. Love your videos, feels like a small world. Tight lines to ya brother!
“butter might be involved”
If it’s a fisherman’s life video butter WILL be involved

(:
Yesterday I was fishing and I hooked close to a 35/40 lb king salmon but line snapped at the the boat....😭😭😭
Couldn't do California but the view and all the saltwater fish are awesome to see. Congrats on salmon... solo in a 12' boat. I can't believe that boat floats with the stones it takes to use that in the open water of the Pacific... yeah I'm jealous...
Butter ‘might’ be involved he says
The salmon, the whale and that perseverance... Man, this has to be your best video so far!
Who else doesn’t eat seafood but wouldn’t mind trying the fish he cooks up?
Good job! I saw you that day trolling around the buoys around 11. I was headed back in from getting limits at Pedro point. Glad you made it out and got some!
Bright pink meat 😂
Awesome catch on the first salmon with the butter boat.! Keep up the great action. (BEST CHANNEL ON TH-cam)
You're gonna need a bigger boat...
Great video commentary. I’m in NorCal as well and it’s nice to see you fishing some of the spots I’ve been to. Stay safe!
“Got it poot goot” “Got it poot goot” lmao😂
Love you videos bro! My 12-year old son and I are hooked on your videos. I'm Filipino and love eating fish as much as I love catching fish! Keep it up and you got another subscriber here.
No fires, no avocados. Disappointing..
That's was so Absolutely grate to have seen you this video. Catching two samen 🎣 🎣 fish one good see by yourself. God bless you 😜☺️
Love watching your videos before I sleep! Thanks for your videos!
Great video! Glad the patch is working so well for you!
what an awesome day, congratulations! i felt the same way when i caught my first cobia, i had mom with me, she said it was the biggest fish she had ever seen,
👍👍👍 Nice job, your net struggles had me rolling and on the edge of my seat at the same time congrats 🤣
Congrats on your first salmon catch on your new boat.
Dude you totally inspired me. Been out to the coast a few times and finally caught one! A 14" rock greenling. I gotta run to Safeway and grab me an avocado and little bit of butter! Thanks for the vids, they're a wealth of info and entertainment. Keep up the good work!
Love the channel. Made the family butter rock fish, rice and avocado for dinner. Everyone lived it. Lets go
Awesome catch Matts, so happy for you great video as always thanks. I need to take my boat out there sometime soon.
