BLUE LINGCOD on a BOBBER wrapped in a BANANA LEAF!

I think I've got this bobber rig dialed in! Adding that 3/4oz bullet weight on the bottom combined with a very slow retrieve has been giving me lots of success. We're starting to run low on the bobbers - probably will be restocking in a month or so.

Not only an awesome fisherman but also an awesome cook. Well done brother!

[@greaser3069]

Havent watched you in like 3 years good to see youre still doing this stuff

[@KuyaHandyKap]

bro, here's a tip to make those banana leaves much more pliable so it doesn't tear easily... don't wet them fresh leaves. while fresh, put it on to top of a flame or those embers you got there bottom side up (that's the one with the sort of silvery color and powdery texture). you'll notice it'll change color to a much more vibrant green. just slowly run the whole length of the leaf on top of the embers until you get that change in color and you're good to go. here in the Philippines, we call that process "Laib". Not sure if Jun is familiar with the technique but we do that here. Keep the vids coming and always stay safe. ✌️

Eating broken rice with chopsticks. Thats a Pro.. i love this channel. That finger measuring rice cooking tactics on point. We grew up on that.

[@HaiFishing]

Good to hear you bought the cliff gaff from Australia, Matt! We use it a lot here in Australia and it is 100% a life saver! Keen to watch you use it to safely land your catches!

[@FishermansLife]

I only hope it can slip over the bobber 🤞

[@donovanphipps777]

Thanks for the wishes Matts, same to you bro! Hope your newborn and baby momma are doing great after the birth. Stay awesome and God bless ❤️

[@carlosgaleana3541]

I used to watch your videos years ago; I’m not a fisherman nor do I live anywhere near the ocean but always happy to see your videos

[@davidcook8323]

Man, the content on Fisherman's Life is never boring . Blue Ling on the menu, what's not to like? Would like to see some spikes worn while fishing the rocks alone. Keep up the great work and be safe!!

[@adnomo]

I just love how you talk in a way that makes me feel I right there. Real cool Bro.

[@lifeofeels8271]

I like all the bobber videos! I bought one last year and haven't used it yet. I honestly didn't know how to set it up to fish from the rocks, but now I do! And thanks for sharing your banana leaf lingcod wrapped recipe!

[@FishermansLife]

It's a great one to have in the tool bag

[@Kaiokenx4_]

I love when you post a bubble gum blue catch and cook. Those lingcod look so cool and also delicious!

[@josephmarciano4761]

Many thanks for generously sharing your knowledge and experience. The video details of your various tackle applications are excellent and have help me catch fish. Please keep the Tackle Tutorials coming!

Enjoy. Thank you for taking us to the waves . Bless you. Appreciate your display of the bait presentation, but more especially, the projected movement through the retrieval. Wonderful diversity with the meal preparation. Again , thank you. Keep rolling in the content chap. South Africa - ocean Port Shepstone and inland Johannesburg.

Great video Matts, filled with fun fishing, some really good teachings, and a delicious meal. thanks for taking us, can't wait to see you use that Australian gaff, Look Out Fish !! Nice to see you doing what you love, "Keep on fishin" 😍🌟👍

[@INTHEOUT]

Love seeing all the different fish you catch in the salt. Gonna have to head to the coast more. Looks like so much fun. Cheers

bought your bobber and cable baiter rig, works pretty well. will be getting some more, thanks for your content

[@HeavyMIGGY]

Bro I haven’t watched your vids in three to four years and I’m glad you got 1 mil subs bro! You deserve it! I got a lot of vids to catch up.

[@aldrintm]

Awesome video. Snap mounts for GoPro allows you to mount the camera on your shirt. Comes with 2 parts. One goes inside the shirt and the other outside. Not sure which has the magnet but they basically snap together. Haven't tried myself but heard good things about them. Anyway it'll save you from cutting up your hoodie. 😄 Tight lines!

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

I lob slip bobbers pretty far out fresh water fishing and a pair of polarized glasses make a world of difference trying to see them. Great channel dude been subbed for years

[@happyshabbygames]

Awesome catch and meal dude. Makes me miss living near the ocean.

[@bh-0330]

the blue lingcod are so incredible. The coloration is just amazing.

[@Revjuan14]

Just don’t give it a reason to bite you lol

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

Nice video.. I fish for Chum floating Anchovies with a slider rig and for Salmon and Steelhead with eggs under a float with sliding rig. Also bobber dog using floats. Crappie with jigs under a float as well. Looks delicious .

Use to cook the same way as a kid growing up in Samoa and Hawaii. Those banana leaves keep it so moist. Looked good.

[@tho464]

Wow! Wonderful day out there!!

[@fishhunt9874]

That looked delicious! What an outdoor treat! If you like to snack on popcorn try sprinkling the furikake on it, it’s great👍🏼

[@godfredtan]

That type of preparing and cooking of food is famous here in the Philippines. It is famously called here as, “binalot sa dahon ng saging” or wrapped in banana leaves. Here, it is best with the combination of rice and chicken adobo, with hard boiled egg and raw tomato. But nice dish though. I’m a huge fan of your content, catch and cook! God bless brother! 😊

[@kevineversole6860]

@Fisherman's Life Matts, it was great meeting you briefly this weekend! Right after we saw you I shot a massive ling at that spot, so thank you for the luck ☺️

[@FishermansLife]

Nice bro!! We got a bunch of uni and called it after about an hour haha nice work!

[@ivantan2886]

Watching from the Philippines, man. love your show. Btw, maybe you should try this. I'm not sure if its gonna go well with Lincod thO. salt, soysauce, vinegar, garlic, onion, leaks, and ginger. Pack it in banana leaves and wrap the leaves in aluminum foil. For a 3/4 kg milkfish it's 15mins per side. You can just adjust based on the size of your fish.

[@antonchigurh3226]

Hi Mats, I don’t know you, know you, but what you do, and your perseverance, is awesome 🤩 Cheers 🥂

[@reelin_it_with_jake]

Can never go wrong with adding avocado on there! That banana leaf reminds of the Chinese sticky rice! 😂

[@nak4651]

Another great vid...thanks. Saltwater on earth is the life-giving force of nature. Generally speaking, salt water not allowing bacteria, parasites and mosquitos to live in abundance like in so many other parts of the world. Also, nothing like hot rice and Furikake seasoning.

[@tommyska40]

Thanks for another great video Matt!

[@jeffpho7842]

Black bean sauce with fish is so good!! Craving that now!

[@frederickdeleon2]

Matt please try putting inside the belly, cilantro, tomato, jalapeños onion and garlic and cook it on the banana leaf is so delicious that way.
