[@VividSnaresFishing]

So awesome to see you back on the water bro! Thanks a bunch for showcasing our Vivid Snares crab snares in your latest video. It's always a pleasure to see our gear in action and being appreciated by amazing content creators like you. We're thrilled to announce that our featured crab snares will be available for online purchase again starting tomorrow, Monday 11/27. Your support means the world to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to be part of your crabbing adventures. Keep up the awesome content, and wishing you tight lines and great catches ahead!

[@MisterCee41510]

I met you last year around this time at the Pacifica pier. Bought some snares and you gave me a sticker I have on my fishing bucket. Cool to see you getting your props on this channel.

[@retrokid23]

Just wanna vouch for these snares. I’ve had many different snares but what’s particularly nice with his design is it saves bait much more than others. I have caught multiple dungies without rebaiting. Plus it glows in the dark which is sick!

[@punkrockpaiute9898]

No matter how hard you try, nature will take its course lol GG for trying. Glad to see you out fishing again🤙🏽 cheers bro🍻

[@dxddyminato3145]

Most definitely the afterlife had better plans for little dude

[@watcher1245]

That seagull was at the end of its days, you showed it some compassion. It's rare for people to do that for scavenger animals so im sure that bird got to appreciate both human kindness and floating in the water under the sun one last time before its time came. Nature's not as fragile as it looks. But just like everything else out in this world, death comes sooner or later. It's not a grim reminder of our own mortality. It's a reason to live life the way you want to live it and not fear our journey's end.

[@DaveRyder-po4gq]

Great video guy and the effort to save Seagull was commendable.

[@shipwreck8847]

Hey, I wanna thank you for being a nice guy and helping out that bird. That was really nice of you. You made a new friend.

[@TaigaShaman]

[@caidenh04]

These videos always bring back memories of when I was a little kid going crabbing for dungeness on the Oregon coast. Hands down my favorite seafood ever. Been subscribed for years, much love to you.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

Matts, I live south of you in Mariposa and allowed myself to be moved here, my wife loves it! Myself, I was a bird hunter and would hunt Quail 3 days a week and go down to the valley and hunt waterfowl three days a week. Now I can no longer walk and several years ago I started fishing salt and crabbing. I started on the jetty but it was a killer for me. This is a banner year for Quail, I hope you take up the sport too. As for the butter, I have tried it but it is a bit bitter for me. I hope you kept your boat!! The lakes up here in the hills are fantastic too!!

[@veryangrydodo2376]

Napa valley?

[@A-TeamOffRoad]

I’ve been fishing for many years now.. jetties, deep sea, shore, piers.. and this is the first time I hear to fish the rocks lol why haven’t I thought of that!! I’m always trying to cast to Hawaii each time lol thanks Matts!!

[@VINCEGOESFISHING]

Loved it! There’s something about your videos man. Maybe it’s all the angles and clear audio, and definitely your personality adds a lot. I moved from WA state to CA simply because I spent all winter watching your fishing videos, decided, a Fisherman’s Life for me! Thank you for continuing to inspire us.

Welcome to the crab butter gang Matt! Glad you were able to enjoy and appreciate it with a lil bit of that spontaneous duck-fried-rice on the jetty.

[@oldmanandthesea3384]

Hey there Matts. When I called DFW about the use of crab snares a few years ago, they informed me that it counts towards your fishing pole limit. I know on the ocean its not a problem and on the jetties. But, on some places where there is a two pole limit one has to remember this. Pacifica Pier comes to mind. Of course they may have changed the rules since then, so always stay up to date with the changes to all your fans out there. Stay safe and tight lines everyone.

[@HM-yr1vr]

Get your game warden self out of here. Just enjoy the video and most of us know the rules and regulations.

[@oldmanandthesea3384]

I have known Matts for some number of years and have gone on a few fishing trips with him. One of his core values for his videos is to gather knowledge and to pass it on to those who haven't learned it yet. He also doesn't mind when his subscribers pass on knowledge for those who don't know the rules as completely as you. Tight lines and stay safe.@@HM-yr1vr

[@waterassassin]

Have been watching your channel for ages mate and really enjoy the lengths you go to in order to take your viewers on the journey with you every video. I camp/fish in Australia so I love seeing the different things you guys have to do in the states. You guys have to watch out for bears, we have to watch out for snakes and spiders 😂

Hey Matts, haven't watched your vids in a while, but it's great to see that you're starting to like "crab butter" now after not liking it at first way back when. Hope you're doing well!

[@ryefry]

Health officials say if you're eating multiple crabs and plan to eat the butter, limit it to one crab. It's where the heavy metals collect in the crab body. Did you find the little star inside the crab? That's the heart. Tastes like the rest of the meat, but it's chewy.
