[@downsy_]

That climbing and scaling down edit at the same time was great 👏🏼 2:03

[@hotlamon3965]

Wanted to comment this as well! lol

[@jessepinkman3088]

Totally thought it was another guy 😅

[@CRUSH3R.]

came here to say that, its so sick

[@reelfishingtradition1655]

The best part of that edit was, it's like he stepped to the side and waited so he could pass his self safely lol.

[@jacon3514]

yea this was really well down hope he edits like this more often

[@Cooper1]

Snaring crabs is where it all started for me too when I started watching your videos on how to make crab snares all those years ago. Man what a long way you’ve come Matts. Congrats on all your success. And thanks for the years of sharing your knowledge.

[@Stopbeingnosyffs]

I’m going try make one and try on my local beach in Scarborough uk

[@obscura6205]

Don't ever stop making videos! The real highlight of my lunch break at work!

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

18:09 Lmao "Little bit of butter..." *drops a WHOLE ENTIRE STICK* hahaha

[@UncleT0ny]

just a lil

[@str8ballin475]

Finally a video like this again. I love watching your contents, eapecially this one that brings back your old one.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Dear Home Depot, please get this man a new bucket. Great video my man, long time viewer. 🎣

[@Wrathwithin18]

Okay that bucket saw some rough times during the recording of that video. At first, around 3 minutes, only one chunk is missing from the rim. Then later, at 7:30, multiple pieces missing. At the end, 22:30, the bucket basically has no more rim. I love your videos Matt! I've been following you since before you bought the butter boat and even then.. so it was fun to hear you say BUTTER like this again hahaha!!

[@aca9876]

Love your videos. So relexing. Like going alone to fishing without going.

[@NaesNavillus]

Always a pleasure watching your videos. I used to live on the Oregon coast and would go fishing and crabing all the time with my father and his friends. These videos give me some awesome nostalgia. Thanks for the entertainment my dude!

[@CondenserMan]

$24.99 a lb here in Texas but jeez it’s worth it! Best tasting crab out there. Your video persuaded me to go buy some for lunch!

[@stilife1942]

Right?! I want crab NOW!! We keep getting quakes on the west coast lately, so my girl keeps chickening out talking about tsunamis lol

[@quice09]

This editing skills coming up! That up/down climb was dope!

[@Dadzilla2]

Oh man wish I could scale down the rocks like that. Never tried crab fishing. You really make it look fun. Thanks once again for sharing your adventure.

[@lostworld6963]

Tbh when Matt post any video make me happy every time, cheers dude for your amazing video!

[@JMag1]

Been watching your channel since before the first butter boat and I love these old school type videos. Also my tia used to make my cousins and I rice pudding for breakfast and its still one of my favorite Mexican treats.

[@HooperMCVMC]

Excellent Video Matts! Reminds me of your OG vids!! Keep them coming.

[@melbaelba5706]

Getting all fancy with the double Matts special effect. 😂

[@Westernchauvinist]

Hey, you guys not a pro but here’s a pro tip as far as snaring goes after your snair has been casted and is sitting at the bottom of the water take up all of your slack set your Rod in a pole holder at 12 o’clock directly straight up make sure you take out all the slack in the line the crab the are greedy, they will try to pull the snar away for themselves when they do the tip of your pool will indicate that movement every time I live on the coast and Crab three times a week. I’m telling you keep the slack out of this fishing pole and keep your eye on the tip of the pole. It works every time.

[@rrmerlin3402]

Great tip ! thank you

[@henrygarrison1613]

Huge fan of your videos...and rice pudding 🎉😊

[@stevemccann6641]

The crab meat looks awesome and I really enjoy the video, just wanted to also comment on the rice pudding, my mom learned from here grandmother how to make it and I can still remember eating my great grandmothers recipe as a child and adult in my early twenties before she passed how much I love rice pudding. And if anyone is wondering, I realize it is a simple dish but there are several ways to ruin a good rice pudding.

[@baconstrips8207]

Damn bro I didn't know you still made videos. I haven't been having you on my feed. Glad to see you again.

[@ParacordPalsandHeroes]

🛑😳Dude, that was you going up 'n coming down the steepie, right?? These ol' eyes ain't bad, ya kno. Nice crab catch. Thanks👏🏽, Memphis, 10🇺🇲

[@kenstetsonoutdoors]

I’m glad I watched till the end! Typically I look for that longer interval but it makes sense to look less powerful waves

[@scrappydoo7887]

Rice pudding is beautiful 👍 it's Definitely a good pick if you are out and about too

[@desertfairychickres4021]

Lordy, I can smell that surf and I'm in Tucson Arizona. I close my eyes and am back in time. Blessings

[@desertflinger11]

I love your videos, bro. I’ve been watching for years.

[@HelenNetoken]

I remember when you out that in!! Awesome vid!

[@BlueMountainBandit]

2:15 nice video overlay! That was badass!!

[@crazynerd666]

The OG video is subscribed to was you showing me what a crab snare even was, this was a cool vid to watch after work today. Killin it man, the video quality is insane too

[@elpescador78]

Very good from you to share the video man I am jealous to don’t eat crab looks so delicious and you make me hungry ha ha ha ha thank you again man. I’m very enjoyed the video.

[@KI-dc9ok]

Pro tip: add the crab butter to your seasoned butter. Adds so much flavor without being to over powering when eating crab butter by itself. Even people that don't like crab butter love the combination as it just enhances the flavor of the crab meat. Also a crab with barnacles means it isn't a soft shell. The barnacles take time to develop ensuring that the meat inside will be nice, full and firm. I'd take a barnacled crab over a clean one.

[@Thewoodlandworkshop]

Love these snare videos. Been wanting to do it for a while. Luckily a buddy of mine is trading a handful of crab snares in exchange for a homemade fish Bonker I turned for him on my wood lathe. Gonna be doing some snaring this winter.

[@heroesnpatriots9622]

Dude it’s fun! I always pack it and use it when able too

[@Tightlinesoutdoors-iy6tm]

18:10 “ a little bit of butter” he says as he continues to add a whole stick of butter

[@carlitosmejia5027]

Made me laugh too 😂😂

[@nicholeradcliffe2335]

Those vivid snares🔥🔥

[@kenbennefield9274]

Back in the 80s I would go fishing off the rocks just north of Santa Cruz catching eels, perch, and occasional black. I miss those days

I remember your first video here. I thought you was crazy. I realize now you're the man now.

[@chefperez7215]

Crab head butter love that on lobster shrimp also lol…been eating it since I was a kid never had any memory issues or allergies.

[@Jd.g._.bisexual]

Happy Saturday night long time no see nice to see a new fishing 🎣 video of yours 👍🏼🫶🏼

[@georgeniebergall7074]

Great show I really enjoyed watching you. Congratulations.

[@michaelames6317]

1 hour before High slack tide is the magic hour feeding bite happiness!

[@mesozoicfishing2308]

I'm not in the Bay Area anymore but man, I made some good memories at spots you mentioned in the beginning. Also, pro tip, some of the rocks in that specific area can be used as a makeshift knife. Some of it is chert and it's really sharp on any fresh broken edges.

[@bigdade4209]

Always with some life-saving advice

[@lifeofeels8271]

Nice Matts, always great to see a new video from you. I noticed all the crab that we’ve been pulling up lately are missing a claw or sometimes a claw and a leg. They’re not the same quality as last year’s. And for sure we’ve been busting our butts looking for them.

[@Letnan.Banana]

catching and eating amazing crabs..thank you for sharing the video

[@geothunder1971]

Man, there's nothing like fresh Dungeness!

[@mrlarry999]

The longer the period of swell, the faster the swell is moving. That’s why long period swells have so much energy. Say you have a powerful storm with high winds 800 miles offshore. There will be gusty winds, etc. Assuming the storm never impacts your area directly, the waves will still hit your shore. The longest period swells always hit first because they are traveling the fastest.

[@lionlight777]

That look absolutely delicious.

[@patrickdonner3542]

Rice pudding is the bomb man! Kozy Snack that looks like..miss the coast. Stealhead season..hope you do a video...Pescadero is the spot up or Russian River.

[@Ayotwinnn]

Glad you’re enjoying some rice pudding, so gooddd 🇲🇽🔥

[@moe_fahmi]

Great video brother 👍💥🔥💥👌

[@Millionsedge]

Best crab rod I have found is the 12’ Okuma Solaris Surf SSX rod (SSX-S-1202H). A bit pricey and one of the rod sections is 7ft but it’s rated for up to 16oz. Not going to snap a rod tossing 16oz. I’ve tried with max send.

[@xlegoat23x45]

18:09 “a little bit of butter” 😂

[@desertfairychickres4021]

Matts!!!!! Hallelujah brother. ❤

[@OmprakashRay-x6g]

thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@smurf4049]

Heck yea that’s such a nice spot to fish , that was actually my first spot fishing with my uncle the hole that on the side is a good little swimming hole

[@ebs28]

'little bit o butter' is back!

[@TheBluSkyAboveYou]

You can tell your friend, "If you wet the bed, you'll have to eat the crab gills." Then he won't wet the bed. Works every time.

[@Ljfishing24]

Matt Steph at the tackle shops loves showing off your photos and experiences wonderful lady

[@the707killnote]

haven't snared a dungie keeper yet alot of red rock tho I love china beach!!!I wear your yellow fishermas's life hoodie for luck and it's been paying off going to do baker on friday let's get my first dungie baby!!!

[@broomstickcowgirl]

Tried the crab butter once and it was yucky to me! We LOVE rice pudding in our household too.

[@strikerj4810]

You should get some cajun seasoning and add it to the unsalted butter for crab dipping. So gooder.

[@Cobysant]

Come to Arizona one day!!

It is a shithole

[@pinetree9343]

Spanish rice pudding is best. Just like grandmother used to make. Pescadero to just north of half moon bay, my old stomping grounds

[@VISUAL-LY]

Just to clarify, I don’t know first hand that eating the crab gills will stop bed wetting issues😂😂 Just Vietnamese superstition that my parents told us when we were little😅🤣

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

Garlic Butter is pretty good with it too ^^

[@evanchristian1751]

I just moved from Santa Cruz, I’d always fish around there from the cliffs and I’m living vicariously through you right now! So beautiful. I’ll be back soon!!!

This is the first time for me waching how to catch crabs. What is the name of the tool that u used to catch crabs?

[@machinegun333]

You need to get yourself alittle victorinox keyring knife and keep it on your car keys. Little 1inch blade but it comes in handy all the time.

[@djchap1640]

yo matt i just found out we go to the same bait shop in the bay area!! you the last 20 years, me the last 5!

[@SAVVYLOCO209]

my boy got ricepudding and a fork but forgot the knife smh lol🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sea-ferring]

Put a little rose water in your rice pudding - Persian style - it's delicious.

[@b.whisky9438]

If there is too much current crabs tend to bury themselves especially in shallow water. Slack they tend to be more active.

[@jessepinkman3088]

The good ol’ butter!! 😂

[@OffTheHookFishing]

No trespassing for fishing means crabbing is fair game in my book 😉

[@Halusafishingprofessional]

Usually best crabbing is morning or right before dark

[@jerrylim2282]

Two big crabs for the catch of the day is fine for one person. More could be better but seems like there was a time window to catch crab on that shore from the look of the tides.

[@marcelgarcia7112]

I think you found a ladder for rope for that video too right ? While trying to climb down , I’ve been watching since 2018 … had me hooked “ba dum tssst 🥁 “ lol

[@marcelgarcia7112]

I think after you had injury from basketball on your Achilles heel

[@marcelgarcia7112]

Couldn’t be wrong on time frame but you’re the first catch n cook creator I found lol or the TD BOYS one or the other

When I crabbed when I was a kid. I only took a claw. Probably why those crabs had only one claw. Both were only missing the left claw.

[@ktmcc4360]

You gotta come back to Crecsentcity bro, were getting dinner plate males off the pier.

Can we get underwater cam next to the lures next time?

[@freshcoastlife]

hell ya! rice pudding and crab. thats where its at!

[@aznphate]

8:39 You gotta do it smooth… if you do it fast and hard you’re gonna break the rod almost guaranteed. So im just gonna let it bounce a couple times and just what I feel the rod can handle. Not really gonna push it to the limit 😂😅😅….

[@TheEddgreen]

Normaly I don't bother to comment, but it's important to know in an emergency (no knife) that you can cut rope with rope (same to mono and braid) 👍

[@lukehahn4489]

tell us more about the wave interval

[@iMerkinator]

lol dude…I also been randomly getting into rice pudding. Try mixing in or topping with some ground cinnamon

How about doing the inflatable crabbing trip out if china beach again?
