i almost didn't make this video... but life lessons

[@richs4878]

Great video Daniel. Good to see a new one from you. Thank you. Beautiful little boy, you’re both so lucky. You’re great dad material. 😊 All the best.

[@tomi1964]

You had me hooked from the very beginning, your opening was SO good. The most interesting people are those that have had “failures”, they have stories to tell. And you make an adorable Father, your Son is so cute!! 🥰

[@bonto1859]

Man. Heart so full seeing the moment shared with your son. Love this time capsule message to him 🤙🏼

[@pastorquangful]

One day your son is going to watch this video and realize that kind of father you are and that will be a priceless lesson for him. Thanks for making the video Daniel!

[@stevehogan8829]

Nice work putting this together. I cannot do what you are doing anymore. Enjoyed watching, I can still fish from my kayak.

[@brandonbean7561]

Man your little boys smile just made me smile so big lol you are a great dad man good to see you again !!!

[@nathfinessefishing]

Please continue making video phil... You're one of those anglers i look up to... Always keep safe brother.. "Failure is ok"

[@JT-jl4vj]

Good to see you making another video, as a young father once a long time ago, I can relate to the personal thoughts for your children. Embracing all forms of experience is the path of enlightenment. Sharing those thoughts/experiences brings everyone further up the curve. Bless you brother, love to see you son, made a grandfather smile. You remind me alot of my son(s). All good men, keep doing you, sharing the character of how good men live.

[@threengcircus]

Great video! As usual very thoughtful, even down to the shots you set up. We selfishly ask that you keep making them but also understand you got priorities to keep. In all you do, set yourself up for not only success but safety. You got little ones that care more about you than the fish! Tight lines man!

[@xolofishing5859]

Welcome back! Awesome video, happy to have you back. Great looking boy, congrats.

[@TK-uc4go]

Daniel It is refreshing to see you have the kind of day that everyone experiences. Failure is as much a part of life as success is. Through the magic of editing, whole days of fishing turns into minutes. At the end of the day, you didn't get skunked and even if you did, you have shown the reality of fishing, which many youtubers are afraid to do. Some of our fellow fishers won't even show video of the days of no success. That is just unrealistic. There are amongst us however, those whom are blessed and can catch any day they go out. For the majority of us though, I believe filling a cooler with the days catch is possible, but highly unlikely. We could have the good ol debates on lures and swim baits and colors, or fresh and frozen baits, or being on a boat compared to the shore. The possibilities are endless. To see your struggles solidifies the struggles of others. Thank you for keeping it 100.

[@philosophyd]

Fishermen definitely understands this. We can be blessed with great days and some days, for whatever reason, not so much.

[@TheElectrcChickn]

From a fellow philosopher, thank you. Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me and many others more than you will ever know. May your table always be plenty, and your heart full of family’s love.

[@liarliar1408]

More of these videos with philosophy lessons in life from Dr. Daniel. It's not for us now but for your son when he's older.

[@underwateradventures9484]

Subscribed!! Glad you and Matt’s hooked Up… as a father the main thing is the effort you made to provide the first fish for your son. I’m sure it will make it that much more satisfying when you do.. he will one day be a great fisherman .. my dad said I was drenched by a wave and baptized while he was fishing 😂

[@TodayWeFish]

This is one of the greatest lessons us, as parents, can teach our kids. One learns more by failing than by winning!

[@bobbyliu96]

Thank you Daniel with this video. I love watching your fishing videos because I love fishing. But for me, it’s not really about the fishes that you catch. It’s all about the journey. It’s about the beautiful places that you go to. I am 54 years old and I wish I had gone to the many places that you had shown us through the years. I am just grateful that you had share your awesome journey with us. 💪😊👍

[@rexplorer.official]

Man. You’re a man worth looking up to. Thanks for the new upload.

[@aileendanao7642]

Wow, this is one of my favorite videos. All the words you say are so true and from the heart. Your son will watch this video in the future and be so proud that your his dad.

[@catim]

Really appreciate the camera work and the time to set up these shots. Thanks for the content

[@martinquintana5837]

Awesome video Daniel and a great message. The way this world is heading it don't look good but being aware and looking out for your family is key. Thank you for the positive message take care and God bless. Aloha from Kansas.

[@Djkittyify]

Those are some wise words. I think your son have a bright future. Looking forward for your next upload. Cheers from sweden😊

[@loristime6607]

Your son is adorable. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. Your cadence. Your attitude. Your delivery. Your reflection. I especially enjoyed your videos where you shared your abundance of fish with others. Thanks for taking the time to do the camera work and the editing. ❤

[@outdoorfamilylife7759]

Your video is inspiring. Never give up bro. There’s always next time. Failure is a part of life like you said. Your son will get his fish. He is hella cute and lucky to have a father like you that can teach him about life.

[@oonchi]

A bad day fishing is still a good day.

[@kittran2118]

Awesome video brother! Happy to see you back! Take care of your family and things will come together fluidly. Have always loved your videos and our chats offline.

[@2Cenery]

Well said Sir. This is a great lesson some of us learn too late. Teenagers especially need to hear this. Cute boy man!

[@j694726]

I liked your honestly and vulnerableness in this story .

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

Thanks for uploading man. Love watching your videos. I'm originally from the West Coast (Washington). I've been living in Australia for the last 6 years and get homesick a lot, but your videos always make me feel back at home. Cute kid and looks like you're settling well into being a dad!

[@AllThingsPNW]

This is quality content right here. Appreciate you, Daniel!

[@habababa6]

Glad to see you making some new videos! ALMOST TO 100K ALMOST THERE MAN you deserve 1m+

Thanks for being real! Love your content, love your baby’s sweet face. He’s so lucky to have you

[@offtherocksfishing_officia974]

Glad to see you back!! Love that spot, and may blessings come to you and your beautiful family.

[@lifeofeels8271]

So happy to see you back. Great video Daniel. And your son is so adorable.

[@davidgarcia2491]

In the future, as your son grows and sees the attempt. He will appreciate it even more than eating the fish. To know his father was out there for him... Thanks for the video Doc.

[@CurtMiz]

That cute kid sure brought a smile to my face! You have a lot to be thankful for!!👍🌷😄😄

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

We need not look at life from an occasional failure, but from the way our lives are lived everyday. You have a beautiful family and by looking at your new & beautiful son, you're winning every day! Your "failure" on that day, happened to be (IMO) your best video, yet! What a great summary. Be careful out there!

[@alphagofish]

Glad you're alright! Lil man sounds like he has plenty to teach as well 😄😄😄

[@Hook2Cook]

Your kid is soooo cute and has so much personality already! props on the new trajectory! always next level whatever you do Daniel.

[@jonphanspromotions]

Best title and intro ever. Got me watched the whole video with my heart almost jumped out.

[@lingcod]

aye any day without a skunk is a great day, especially when it was a keeper ling too! props for throwing it back when you totally could've gone home with it

[@krga94c]

People who plan to fish have to except that there will be days that no matter what we do, we won't catch a thing. So thanks for sharing this real experience.

[@rickmacpherson7556]

Loving the next gen Philosophy D! Excellent content as always!

[@josephjenkins2583]

Glad ur back making more videos. Wishing you the best and your family. Be safe bro !!!

[@instant7youtube]

Still a great video, even if there was no fish caught. The thought of being able to catch your child’s first fish is super dope. Wise words from another great fisherman. Nice to see you made the adjustments needed to succeed.

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

he caught a 22" ling.. he didn't keep it..

[@instant7youtube]

@@josephsaeteurn9158 my bad, you’re right.

[@Got-Adventures]

Nice to see you post again. Hope all is well.

[@EliasTheWoodcarver]

That kid was one of the best parts of the video man, he's so cute, good shit my G✊

[@coryfukumae6608]

Great video. A realistic day of fishing as much as you think it’s gonna happen, it may not. But we get to go again.

[@DavidGonzales-lr5lj]

Great video. The best part for me started at 30:45 Totally inspiring. Keep up the great work. Life lessons

[@JMag1]

I love the notion that there are other men like me out there fishing those cliffs trying to bring home a fresh meal to our families.

[@Skim_beeble7125]

thats some absolutely wonderful camera work in the intro man i know that took time and setup

[@waltsnoop]

The prodigal son is back!!!! Yes!!! Welcome back Daniel.

[@benh5774]

This is a great video. We live in the same city, but i dont think i can justify a 3 hour drive each way to go fishing... especially with kids now. Maybe an overnight adventure.

[@gpon893]

Great video brother. Fall down 9x get up 10. That is the way

[@dimasprimacahyadi9136]

Nice to see you making video again man.

[@MoreThanFo0d]

welcome back brother!!! thanks for dropping this video! missed u man! hope all is well

[@seanruggenberg62]

I still go back and watch your old video but was glad to see a new one up and you have to do what is best for you and your family I'll still watch your videos when or if you chose to post them

[@snipergene]

Always enjoy your videos! Good content and a lot of ❤.

[@raphoynolaramirez7201]

You are exactly right Daniel 😊

[@sniper3007]

Honestly took me a long time to realize that its okay to fail, growing up I was always taught to be "safe" to avoid the risky things in life.

[@5domey5]

Another video ending with Daniel holding a personal best keeper and smiles all around.

Literally the Philosophy of Daniel

[@Mr.63.]

oh yes the dream team comes in at the end. great to see you 2 get together and fish.

[@coltluger2079]

I'll take people fishing and explain that a fish is never guaranteed but you'll never get a bite if your not out there fishing. Guess that mentality goes beyond fishing. Good to see you post again and hope there's another one soon. Stay safe bro🤙

[@philosophyd]

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!

[@STODAKINE]

I’m glad you are at peace with your decision to not move forward with your KZbin endeavors. I truly have enjoyed watching your content up to this point. Watching you and Matts and Taku and all the rest has been a blast. Seeing you all growing up, getting hitched, you getting your PHD and everyone becoming successful has been a joy. Continue doing what makes you whole and happy is what life is all about and what really matters. ❤ all you guys.

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

no matter how cold the weather , body still need fluid... i always sip on water throughout my trips hiking or fishing.. cramps will put a stop to your day.. every step hurts like hell.. i haven't had cramps in many many years..

[@zeldanrj3]

Daniel!! So good to see you this morning.. Laawwwdd have Mercy!! Your mom ain't the only 1 that is scared for you, ME TOO!! 😱 Your son is gonna look back at your videos 1 day and say, "That's my DADDY!!" I think the rush is from being so close to that cliff! Darn GoPro.. glad you have the camera, and there is always the cell phone haha Beautiful Ling 🎣 Thank you for the beautiful scenic shots. You Sir, are NOT lazy. You have tried everything. Duuude!! I just said that! Hahaa.. that's exactly what your son is gonna say. Brandon is correct.. I too have health issues, Rheumatoid Arthritis. At any moment that sucker pops up, and I'm stuck! Like the cramp you had in your arm.. mine will last 2 to 3 days. Pain is nonstop. Then, it's gone, like nothing ever happened. So now I'm limited on what I can do. So I too thank you, you have brought so much peace into my life.. your adventures, are our adventures too.. Your son is beeeautiful!! 💙🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thanks, please keep em commin 👌

[@JuniorJr_23]

Even though there was no fish to bring home it was a nice content. Let's go!

[@Sakratic]

If you ain't failing, you're surely missing out on some of the special, character building experiences and more importantly, the emotions that those experiences facilitates, adding texture and enriching the journey of what some may evaluate as existing to simply exist - it's existing just to exist until you make a commitment to yourself that you always will add more value to your existence by simply challenging yourself, injecting some risk, taking a stance - that whole risk/reward balancing act, raising the stakes, adding legit material and value to said existence.

[@FullmoonEffects89]

The first 5 minutes have a serial killer documentary feel to it.

Not the vibe I was going for.. 😂

[@blkaudiofan]

No fish but the views of Mother Nature were awesome!

[@cyperme123]

great video!!

[@Wabuh-Wabuh]

also you know how california has that algae issue causing shellfish toxins...you can geneticially modify the algae to not produce the toxins & introduce it into the ocean to compete with the algae that causes toxins. & it can breed together & if it breeds you can make sure to get the algae with out the toxins to pass on it's traits..

[@denverg228]

Bro the video was so great at the cliff. I thought someone was holding your video..

[@mr.hampton4982]

Well, maybe you didn't catch a fish, but you made a great video.

[@MoreThanFishing]

@@philosophyd we only use 10% of our brain 🧠 (myth)

[@catim]

Sometimes God presents these “failures” as a means to put into perspective what is important… im always reminded to be grateful to even be healthy enough to fish and play with my kids.

[@Peanutbuttergalactic]

That production quality tho!!!

[@cerescop]

A day fishing is better than the day working. A day at the ocean is worth the effort unless you are so jaded that you cannot appreciate the day. A fish at the market can be OK if the ocean does not provide. It's the time with the child that is the prize.

[@ctgilcrest]

Good place to fish mid Column for black's and blue's 1/2 OZ. rattle traps or 3/4 OZ. LV 500s. Keep a few in your bag. Ya can thank me later LOL.

[@philosophyd]

Was throwing some lighter (1/2 or 3/4 oz) jigs that day. I'm thinking the water was just way too murky for the fish to see them and chase it unless it literally passed right in front of 'em.
