Camp Catch and Cook - Was This Nearly a WORLD RECORD Fish?!

On a foggy day along the California coast, I go camp, forage for local food along the coast, and do some ocean fishing and catch the BIGGEST Barred Surf Perch I've ever seen with my eyes in my life - I bring it back to the campsite and cook it up for lunch.

Guesses on the WEIGHT and LENGTH?!

[@josiahxiong3054]

4pounds 16 in

[@chrisjohnson1440]

3 and a quarter pound 14 and a 1/2 in

[@lifeofeels8271]

My guess is 17.5 inches 4 lbs

[@Phishrman]

3 lb 15 oz. 18"

[@elijahf111]

Shouldve marked his length in your fishing rod

[@stevehogan8829]

Whew, nice perch. one true thing about all fish. They never stop growing and they never stop eating, unless of course they are dying. Wow that looks great on the plate.

[@serenityx8927]

I love sea foods, and I get so hungry watching him cook and eat😘😋

[@myriahjasmine1341]

Omygosh, please teach me your ways. Teach me your ways. I live in moss landing. I need fishing buddies. I fish alone... Teach me your ways. Great content by the way and awesome catch. Thats a huge perch

[@reborn727]

beautiful shots

[@calisurfcaster8712]

Nice catch. Ramen looked bomb with those mussels and seaweed. I never tried it but I will now when they’re back in season. I’ve hooked up on some good size perch before with gnarly teeth like that but never that big.

[@gaylemcgee2221]

Interestingly that's my favorite Ramen noodles. It has such flavor and is just the right amount of heat. Nice video! The way you describe the fish reminds me of how silly the sea Robin is after you cook it.

[@fauxSkills]

How do these fishing folks find these spots?!? Such an awesome trek in!

[@kito1san]

wow.. it looks like a movie.. good job.Now, the question is, why did you harvest mussel when it's quarantine in May?

[@cwagnermusic]

Where's there cool coastal camping here in NorCal?

[@OutdoorChefLife]

I'm pretty sure that was damn close to the record! Dope vid as usual!

[@ranggaputraa9899]

Outdoor Chef Life nice to see you here man! Love your videos

[@shotgunaaron]

@@ranggaputraa9899 heck ya

[@JRKPower]

Epic drone shots and an awesome fishing adventure! Thanks!

[@jrh0369]

You should try fish sauce, lime juice, Thai chili and cilantro to dip fried fish in.

[@annettemillette4091]

good going you catch food

[@cesarmedrano3344]

Great video man. The Perch hanging from the rock reminded me of the movie "Cliff Hanger".

[@Thehomelessathlete]

looks bombb

[@EltonL]

shin ramen is the best man, you can add anything to it.

[@freshANDhesh]

Looks like a giant crappie.

[@adampack6642]

Kinda want more shots of that big ole perch cooking on the fire. I love whole fish.

[@magoutdoorxtvt8972]

nice bro

[@Sshooter444]

great camp site!

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Did you get the surf perch on squid or muscles?

[@1Conquer]

Let’s get it.

[@seanaldrich5024]

The way u speak is identical to fishermans life. Ur voice is a little higher pitched but man if the pitch changed I wouldnt be able to tell u guys apart.

[@freshANDhesh]

I think your fish was longer but definitely not as heavy as the world record.

[@talbotjenkins3235]

D you seem like such a nice guy. I love your videos, they have more class and stile than most. Best of luck.

[@bobbyjoe1914]

nice vid boss

Damn this guy handsome,shit I might be gay

[@bp-fishing8104]

Anyone else see the rabbit at 1:55 on the bottom right?? Also, amazing video man!

[@timhumphers1383]

I totally missed that! Good eye!

[@shotgunaaron]

@@timhumphers1383 so purty

[@jimsurfnfish8089]

Your hard work paid off! That was a trek through DA boonies to get there. You had the good luck for sure, that beast was dangling off that rock for awhile. Awesome catch and cook , and what a beautiful and relaxing spot👍🍻

[@frmstone]

just a friendly heads up. set camp at least 100 ft from stream. :) ✌️

[@akeemmurdock8039]

@Alex Pham Flash floods. Probably.

[@frmstone]

www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wildregs.htm it's good for the environment. a ranger may give u ticket.

[@frmstone]

www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/fishlake/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5121831 just google it and u will see similar recommendation/rule

[@philosophyd]

Thanks for the reminder and giving people the heads up. We weren't THAT close to the stream - close enough, but if you can see the last part of my vid, I'm at the tent talking and you can barely hear the water from where we were.

[@milliepankow1326]

Wow you really got one B I G fish!!! You could hear the biggest smile in your voice I didn't have to see it on your face. Thanks for taking us along for the catch.

[@CanePollFishermon]

From the looks of it your the type of man that could survive living off the land, U know how to fish therefore you will never starve, thumbs up to you, I enjoy looking at your videos.

[@zhadowlonerz]

That fish is Perch-fect. And thanks for the 20% promo code for the Battery Backpack for GetawayBreeze!

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Another great vid Daniel! Beautifully shot, but dude, now that mussel season is closed, why did you have to go and make them look so tasty?

[@victoriava-tic1478]

That cooler is really nice! I’m gone get one for my husband and fill it with fishing gears!

[@MrMonkeyGeorge]

Great video Daniel. That looked like an awesome adventure and I almost felt like l was watching a Bear Grylls episode but you ate something delicious not disgusting. I hope to fish with you again one day.

[@pkendall99]

Should’ve boiled the seaweed and mussels and fish head together, would’ve made a killer Ramon broth

[@travisjones00]

*Man you really should have more subscribers the quality is top-notch*

[@earthman4222]

I was told that lingcod and cabezon don't make good crab bait because lincod and cabezon eat crabs. Don't know, but I would use something else...salmon parts, chicken parts, tuna catfood.

[@TheIriepunisher]

Just made it here from the other Bay area youtubers, Love the video, Thank you for what you do :D

[@alldaytony2751]

You living the dream bro.

[@ishwithfish]

fatty! im guesing in the 17" 3.5lb range, def a contender for an sc perch derby winning fish. nice cook up!

[@Hook2Cook]

Wow that perch looked mouthwatering!!!

[@juliang4594]

Awesome video! That looked like a really cool area. I was so scared when the fishing line was on the rock 😂. What is the general area of the camping spot? What I do when I don’t have a measuring tape I take a picture of one of my hands by the fish, then later I measure in the screen and figure out how many of my hands can fit on the length of the fish. After that just measure your hand and multiply. Now I’m hungry gtg.

Big Sur, California

[@manseraoutdoors]

Sweet bro one of these days ima camp, catch, and cook on the dunes

[@richfisherman2664]

Bro. I got to say. You have fisherman's life. Beat. Again awesome videos. Happy fishing and God bless you

[@Rtype426]

I seen that IPA and said to myself "ooooohh yeah, I'm on the right channel"!

[@shotgunaaron]

hah!!!

[@adventureswithloviematt]

Great vid man! Love your stuff! Very inspiring

[@Broxty]

The problem with surf perch is they don't get massively long, but they do get a fat belly on them. The length is there, but your weight is way off.

[@bertbirge3617]

Very good job man.. I've watched you a lot and on fisherman's life!! Great job!

[@tigergray1100]

All these fishermen's show videos but never share location. It's a dislike and no sub for me 😝

[@charlenepinola4310]

The right way to pick seaweed is to pull it off not cut it or scrape it too many people scrape it off then it don't grow back

[@JRPFISHIN]

Nice! 🔥

[@theresasalas5853]

I’ve watched a few of your videos. Your meals look delicious. You are a good cook.

[@An2ezy]

Dang bro you should of cooked the mussels and the seaweed in the Ramen broth! Oh wells great vid!

[@agiantcub8it542]

Cali advisory against eating them right now... Damn biotoxins lolz

[@edcastillo4456]

Nice choice with the Stone IPA, but only 1?

[@lifeofeels8271]

I really like how you edited this video. Very nicely done. Keep them coming!

[@Goosethelabrador]

The clusters of mussels give me goosebumps 😖

[@kushairiroslei]

[@MarkSibulBuhayOFW]

Watching from here

[@Mityob67]

Great vid, thanks for uploading.

[@marvicty]

Phenomenal vid

[@pauldh62]

More please on the seaweed. What type? In Europe we have seaweed that you can eat and seaweed that you most definitely can't. I imagine, much the same is true for the Pacific.

[@MrAcuta73]

Wow, THAT is how you dress up a package of Jin Ramen....just needs a soft boiled egg, IMHO. Bummer for me, that Korean chili flake is too much for my stomach these days. Loved it when I was younger. I am making some chili paste though (Gochujang)....little less nuclear.

[@thinkthearts2604]

wow amazing

[@Hook2Cook]

I like how you packed the essentials especially that IPA

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

Here is a good formula for estimating the weight of a fish: L x G^(2)/800 That is....length times girth squared, divided by 800. I repeat, it is an estimating tool that works better on more rounded fish like tuna..etc. guessing your pan is 12" ? So judging by the amount of fish overlapping and considering its curved body I estimate the fish's length around 15.5" and the girth..well I can only guess is around 12". Therefore 15.5 x 12^(2)/800= 2.8 lbs Great fish either way. Love your videos.

[@bryannfnsdn1813]

lol....we catch bigger ones in pismo beach california...we have a hotspot! garentee lincod, surfperch, rock fish, halibut! and more... best part is......we fish on shore!!

[@palmerswei1572]

Bro add an egg to your ramen too.

[@vamp8882]

Can you share location ??

[@jackofalltrades8353]

Mix up dry rub (lemon pepper, garlic salt, cayenne, etc.), pack in ziplock for your trips. A lot easier to “hump” than the lemons , soy , etc!

[@fisherman805lopez76]

WHAT A AWESOME FISHERMAN!!!

[@lookronjon]

Nice video. Good meal. First time I did this I was nine years old. I lived in southern Maryland on the Patuxent River. It was so cool. I was a bad ass. Stripped bass and blue crab. Moved to Fl. when I was 10. That’s a whole new adventure.

[@russellclement2058]

Looks like spaghetti ,,,

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Fat daddy Barred Surf Perch! Waders and felt soled boots would’ve been clutch! Right On! Tight Lines! 🎣🤙🏼

[@terryschrecongost2894]

Hey brother, should carry your rods with the tips going backwards so you don't hook and break the tips on a bush. Something an old timer taught me. Catch the big one.

[@patrickp4827]

Man, that looks SO GOOD!!!

[@SidneyGarciaX-MAN]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐟🐟🔪🇧🇷

[@ricardogalindo7603]

Awesome videos. your videos are super helpful as a new angler your videos have helped me taught so much specially the reading the surf one. Do you look at the lunar cycles is that even important. if its not would you mind making a video on it please.

[@m.t.4338]

Super underrated video

[@nyiayaj]

Daniel, you should look into the LaCrosse Alphaburly 18” hiking/hunting boots, they are great for hiking, hunting, and fishing, water proof and insulated

[@waltershumate5777]

Jeeze, I don't know which I like better. Your catch, or your cooler! That Clooler is Pretty COOL!!

[@EG-fb1wc]

I thought it was going to be an ASMR video when I pressed play😌 That was a huge perch, it looked longer than Adam's perch. Loved those drone clips. Thanks for the upload.

[@ThatBoyMossed]

Reppin the Bay

[@user-kk6lc1th2r]

Perch catch of a lifetime right there. If that cast iron you threw it in was 12”, I’m gonna say it was around 16” maybe. No idea on weight but yeah, absolute beast of a slab.

[@kieronbevan7489]

Turban snails are called Winkle's in the UK. Because you have to winkle them out of their shells with a pin when you eat them 😁

[@nqi87]

That Lincod cube and eye reminded me of Frieza(handiwork of Trunks) when they resurrected him.

[@kito1san]

If you catch a barred perch then you should try casting your crab snare that way. Barred perch usually hangs out at sand bar. Sand Bar equals to Dungeness crab.

[@chronicawareness9986]

i love this shit!

[@jjdf8382]

if you want to catch a big perch, go to Washington state, what you caught is small compared to what we catch there, Lol

[@francoparchamento5363]

Great catch!

[@jaec6986]

Very nice man, next time try them with Neoguri (너구리) I ate them like that all the time growing up in Korea, you will love it!

[@thomasstogsdill7175]

That place is one of my fishing spots. Good fishing. And yes , that is a typical perch size !

[@pattibrown1809]

Awesome catch! Congrats! sooooo happy for you! keep fightin' the good fight man!!! Great video!
