Wilkent joined me on the Butter Boat for a little offshore fishing. These were his first keeper Lingcod and Vermillion! www.fishermans... Edited by ...
@@user-wr3vt8uq4s I find it (vermilion) has a subtle sweeter taste (eaten raw) compared to other rockfish. and the texture is as firm as black and yellow, vs the tad softer black or blue rockfish.
Vermillion seem to just give more meat for the size of fish, and they tend to run large. Not a big rockfish eater, rather eat Ling or Cabezon. So pretty indifferent.
These vids with Wilkent are great. It's like you took a big kid fishing. He is hooked now, ain't no getting around it. Just make sure he doesn't go out and buy a whole bunch of gear right away. It's like gambling. If you win a few times, all of a sudden, you start spending more than should. Fishing can definitely become an addiction of sorts. This from an old guy with 40 plus rods and reels.
Great Video, and Amazing Luck and snatch !! Next time I feel I get snagged, I'll think of of your friend and hope there is a fish at the end . Thanks for taking us along. 😍🎣🌟👍
that lingcod catch was awesome. we caught one in a similar way up in alaska a few years back. it chased a rockfish up out of 100 feet of water and kept gnawing on him right at the side of the boat. deckhand grabbed a net and scooped him right up
The extender puts more strain on your hitch and overall subframe of your SUV. Dipping the backwheels in a bit of salt water isnt going to hurt your car. -I live in the rust belt in Canada. Great vid!
@@getchasome6230 We drive through salt water for 6 months out of the year. Our cars always have a white layer of salt on them during winter and they last forever
@@getchasome6230 Nothing lasts forever... if a vehicle rots out in 15+ years id consider that fine. The Hybrid system in his SUV is going to fail long before the thing rots out
at 14:07 when you threw the swimbait back in with the tail messed up still, I yelled at my computer screen lmao. But its nice to see I'm not the only one who does that lmao
Matt I know you almost lost your phone a few vids ago so I really recommend getting a floating waterproof phone pouch especially for when you're out at sea.
Good idea. He did lose his phone in the water in a previous video awhile ago and it has all his kids baby pictures on it that weren't backed up and some amazing person found it and gave it back to him. Saved the day. Karma for Matt finding and giving back some dudes wallet in a previous video as well. :)
I am heading to that same spot this wknd and I thought I’d watch a video of urs to get some motivation and boom!!! Happened to be the same place I’m going. Haha. I’m excited and will be my 2nd time in the ocean on a kayak! 🤙🏼 love seeing so much action in this video btw that camping spot is also my favorite! 👨🏻👏🏼
You guys should start using kelp green lings, rock cods and flounders for bait for the lings. I’m from British Columbia and from fishing the west coast these lings love these fish! Use these fish as live bait and trust me you will thank me later. Everytime I catch a small rocky in lingcod territory I will keep them hooked and drop him straight back down to the bottom. Love the vids man 🎣🎣🎣
Brought in a 16# ling just south of there last week. They are out here man. If you want to target ling& cab herring on a halibut rig drifting or slow trolling. Cabs like bora jigs from PBT, Still Swimbaits over jigs tho. See ya on the water someday Matt! Btw, about 100ft from that ramp at low tide there’s an occasional breaking wave, Surfed it in my 13ft aluminum a few months ago. & thanks for the rec. on Kaplan marine! Tight lines!
Nice day fishing beats any day at work! Matt, when you set your rod down on the gunnel to net that ling, I yelled “Don’t do that,” because I lost a $400 rod-n-reel doing that while fishing Black Sea bass. My bait was barely dipping in the water with the swells and a bass jumped out of the water and grabbed my lure as I turned to see it disappear….
@ 7:26 your #jiggyjigs are spot on bro , hitchhiker ling # lezgooo , and @ 8:36 Matts you should take Wilkent with you , good content , and I can't wait for your catch and cook at a restaurant that was a great idea......
I'm so dam happy 😁 you an one you're good friend is with had such a wonderful time day fishing 🎣☺️ getting so many good fish to eat 😋 later on . And continuing it was thee most wonderful 🎉🎂 video I've ever seen yet . Thank you God bless you you're family friends. Some day I'd would love hope pray God I'd get to meet you before I'd die pass away .
A month ago I caught a 28 inch Cabezon weighing 12 lbs. Now every time he says it's a bid cab and it's 18 inches long I get a good chuckle. Still 15+ inch cabs are nice catches.
Most people do not know what a lingcod is. Besides a great catch it’s one of the best tasting fish the good Lord placed in our seas. Might want to mention , never try to hold the lingcod by mouth :-). I can even smell the ocean….nice day of fishing
i get largies like that sometimes also. get a snag from shoreline. as i somehow get it free all a sudden feel the thud. nice ones from so close to shoreline. last time i went rockfishing we were 300 feet deep. but they were all around 10 pounders. sheepshead won the big fish. i got a couple keeper lings vermillion and some others i forgot the name almost look like largemouth but reddish. and some whitefish on the way in. before we could limit on whitefish some sea lions started taking our bait and so then we took off.
That knocking sound means that the engine is not seated against the plate where it levels up. It's just barely touching and knocking every time the engine pistons move. You can fix this by raising the engine just a small amount a quarter inch away from the boat
It was pointed out to me that he may be doing it on purpose. But I have a 21-ft aluminum boat and I usually 15 horsepower kicker to do trolling. I have found that if that kicker isn't firmly seated against the backing plate and it knocks like what you can hear in this video it scares the crap out of the fish and that was my intention to share. However if he's doing it on purpose that's all the better. He's the master of his boat and if it works it works.
I think his buddy had a hard night celebrating his successful day of fishing 😂 dude didn’t say a word and got a face like he’s regretting that last beer
We’re you there on Monday? I think I may have seen your boat actually! Damnit! I didn’t think you’d be out there hahaha, shoulda gotten a closer look!!!
Hahaha! "I'm snagged! Oops, my bad." Pulls in a lingcod. "Winging it" technique seems to work.
"It's snagged." Ends up pulling a leviathan or Cthulhu
Kaiju
“All rockfish taste the same”….”That’s a Vermillion, those are really good to eat” 😂
I swear, it's the color. It looks more impressive on the plate.
@@user-wr3vt8uq4s I find it (vermilion) has a subtle sweeter taste (eaten raw) compared to other rockfish. and the texture is as firm as black and yellow, vs the tad softer black or blue rockfish.

Both things are true
😂
Damn, just sat down for lunch. Perfect timing!
I don't know why I enjoy his videos so much when I'm eating
Damn I'm on lunch break, couldn't agree more lol
Wilkent looks like a pro already in day 2! That seems like his nature

I don’t even fish but this guy is so entertaining to watch
I wish that I could meet up and fish with you Matt’s, I would love to catch lings and everything! Love your content man, keep it up
You think a star like that would give you the time of day?
@@biggieschlongs8983 matt has done fishing with viewers before
@@roel7930 the viewer is going to have to have a lot of subs for Matt to even glance in his direction
@@biggieschlongs8983 Matts definitely isn’t going to want to spend the day with a person that has an attitude like yours.

that was one crazy set of bonks. left a huge dent in hits head
Always a good day when fisherman’s life drops a vid 🤙🏽

Matt, great to see you and Wilton back out on the water!
It's awesome to see old friends still kickin it. Love the videos.
Oh it's my dude! Great haul, funny running into you guys at the cove.
Great video, as usual. Over the years your fishing has just become so expert!
Days fishing like that fill up the gastank of your soul I believe. Awesome video.
Lookit! Matts got better at netting! Heck yeah, man. Hats off.
Nice little harvest . Good times .
Don't think this is luck at this point, he's a natural! Awesome trip! 🐟🐟🐟

Vermillion and lingcod. Dang Wilkent killin it!
Great day of fishing! Thanks for the video Matt’s!

I was thinking the same thing...it gives me anxiety when I see these loose phones on boats.
I was thinking the same lol
Great job, Matts. You're going to go down as a legend.
awesome day! Beautiful fish! Wish we had those kind of fish down here in South Texas!
Hey Matts I want you to know that watching your vids lowers my blood pressure better than any of my medicine, for real. So fish on kid...
Come on Wilkins !!! Two lings and keepers.
The eyeball hook 😆
I seen that too 😂, notice how Matt doesn’t say anything in that scene 😂. He pulled that hook out hella hard too, that fish forsure missing a eye
i love watching these videos, been watching for a long while now and it’s so cool to see the progress you’ve made. keep up the good work man!

Is this Monterey?
Very nice catchs for that short period. Awesome!
Beginners luck! Two friends in the butta boat enjoying themselves!
Nice, showing the catch at the end!
Left hand Tranx! Just got mine in the mail last night woot woot!

A good day fishing with a good ol’ friend. That’s what it’s all about. 🤤😁
Facts
WOW! What a colorful catch!
Brought in a 16# ling just south of there last week. They are out here man. If you want to target ling& cab herring on a halibut rig drifting or slow trolling.
Cabs like bora jigs from PBT,
Still Swimbaits over jigs tho.

Surfed it in my 13ft aluminum a few months ago. & thanks for the rec. on Kaplan marine!
Tight lines!
Damn, Wilkent killed it out there! You guys had a nice haul.
One of the only channels I like the video before watching. Have a great day Matts
He’s got his own technique he’s working on! that giggle 😂
That was a great day of fishing! Cleaning fish is not so fun, but it's better than working. Thanks for the video.
That dude have so much luck he got 2 decent fish with 1 cast xD
i wonder if anyone ever caught 4 fish on 1 cast?
Haha! I too got a ling last week that at first I thought was a snag! Happens a lot with them! Just had one of his fillets for lunch. 😋
Nice day fishing beats any day at work!

Hey, that's your new fishing buddy for sure...!!!
I liked that final pose. Great video.
The lures came in! Can’t wait to head back over

glad I dont have to worry about fishing licenses where I live, thanks for the great content!
Love the videos bro, unofficially living vicariously through them.....
Love your videos Matt! That’s for sharing your adventures.
Awesome man! Been waiting for a vid like this! Much love
your buddy is slaying it matt ahahaaha he should be named fisherman's apprentice 😂
Another fine production buddy!!

Hell yeah!!! Two videos in a week!!! Spoiling us!
You need to make a shirt, hoodie, hats etc with the saying “ bonk em bleed em eat em”
And in fine print 3 lines down ( No, Fish )
Man some Avocado and butter on that ling sounds delicious 😋
btw, congrats on 1 million bro been here since 100k
Walked by while you were coming down the ramp that weekend. You was a pro at reversing down that launch lol
what boat ramp is that called
Most people do not know what a lingcod is. Besides a great catch it’s one of the best tasting fish the good Lord placed in our seas. Might want to mention , never try to hold the lingcod by mouth :-). I can even smell the ocean….nice day of fishing
Yes I agree they are the best eating fish.
i get largies like that sometimes also. get a snag from shoreline. as i somehow get it free all a sudden feel the thud. nice ones from so close to shoreline. last time i went rockfishing we were 300 feet deep. but they were all around 10 pounders. sheepshead won the big fish. i got a couple keeper lings vermillion and some others i forgot the name almost look like largemouth but reddish. and some whitefish on the way in. before we could limit on whitefish some sea lions started taking our bait and so then we took off.
Beautiful catch!
And that's why I love fishing!
This place that your fishing is probably my favorite camping spot
What’s the campsite called
Dang killed it guys great job as always!!!!
Dude thats a good catch! Snagged in a big fish! Shoutout here from Philippines!
Just goes to show that, bring a newbie to your stuff and get more out of it! That newbie is a fish magnet!
I’ve been on both ends of this and can confirm.
Love the content Matt! You gotta bring your Boi back for some surf fishing & crabbing.
Nice surprise "snag" haha. I miss camping and fishing there.
Hell yeah bro!!! Some good fishing
Solid lil harvest
Awesome day fishing!
Killin it guys!
Wikent is popping off dude
Is that lucky charms back at it again 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That knocking sound means that the engine is not seated against the plate where it levels up. It's just barely touching and knocking every time the engine pistons move.
You can fix this by raising the engine just a small amount a quarter inch away from the boat
Sounds like a woodpecker on meth

@@briankepner7569 Exaxtly. If it works it ain't stupid
Thanks everybody for your colorful comments.
Man looks nice out there it's 102 here in Colorado .man I miss fishing the ocean in Northern California
Beautiful fish!

We’re you there on Monday? I think I may have seen your boat actually! Damnit! I didn’t think you’d be out there hahaha, shoulda gotten a closer look!!!
That’s a solid afternoon
And the beginner's luck continues for Wilkent! lol
Should kept that star fish for a catch and cook 😆
11:29 Why was that so satisfying lmao
Guess he was teasing you for not catching a lingcod by actin like it was a snag. Hahah! Fire video man! Stay safe.
0:48 backup skills
1:33 roll out the squad
7:26 that's nuts the Ling would try to eat that
Great vid! I have to say, not all rockcods taste the same. I definitely have my favorites, but I only steam mine when they are fresh.
Cool video, Matts!
What a great day out!
Wilkent have a talent for this damn.
The colours of the fish are amazing. In my country all the fish have dull grey/black colours.
I like your beard men. much love
