[@werftv4580]

did an awesome shot on that opaleye.. nice! those saltwater panfish are tasty, abundant and and sustainable.. not a sargo or surfperch, btw, that's a fish called a halfmoon, Medialuna Californensis, a member of the sea chub family. either one are better tasting than a sheep for sure, I think

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Halfmoon! right on, thanks!!

[@werftv4580]

if you ever want to target saltwater panfish down here in SD (if you come down on vacation or something), Hit me up.. on the SDFish forums, most folks call me Coach...

[@MusicaNLAlma]

Loving your content! New sub here from nyc. ~ Dee

[@randysacora3684]

I guess I'm too late for you give away. Because it said that it would be within 7 Days of posting. I am subscribed and I got my bell turned on but for some reason I got this one month after you send it out

[@ProtoRatz]

My mom was diagnosed with cancer, and some time later i found yours videos, and your coastal foraging videos and some others made me want to go back fishing and just keep my mind of thing, so thank you and you deserve the 10k subs!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Official ProtoTheN stay strong!

[@raymondulrich8993]

My stepbrother moved away with his father and on the way they got in a serious car crash and he is in the hospital now and we loved watching your videos together so these vids always makes me happy and it gives me hope that he’ll be ok.

[@bigwoo]

I can't ever remember someone shooting up to 10k subs so quickly. It's obviously due to the awesome content you put out. Congrats dude. Keep em coming

[@BellaVillain]

I binged watched all your videos a couple of weeks ago and now I check daily for new vids! Love the commentary and love how beautiful your dishes turn out for cooking outdoors with a few tools.

[@harleypub]

You are on your way Chef! I really enjoy watching the videos because of your love of cooking, your respect for nature and the lessons I learn about using and respecting our natural resources.

[@eslyce2]

I totally like how you mix it up from foraging, fishing from shore, a boat, and now by spear. I enjoy your channel...great job!!!

[@claspco.9833]

Im a really big spearfisher and i love your vids and have been waitng for a spearfishing vid from you so happy you made one!

[@PBRStreetgang66]

I love it. Outdoor adventure meets culinary indulgence. Great on-screen personality - super friendly, enthusiastic, grateful - and excellent production value. Filming and editing are top notch without being overdone. Bravo.

[@anihamire2101]

These videos literally got me going out and do coastal foraging and fishing after never even thinking of doing it in my life, really cool stuff. Congrats on the 10k milestone! It's definitely well deserved.

[@randysacora3684]

I enjoy your videos. I'm an avid Outdoorsman but the thing that makes it so much fun is anticipating how much I'm going to enjoy the things that I'm catching cooking or hunting. That's one of the reasons I enjoy your show so much is because they're usually catch and cook

[@bn7908]

I love subbing to young channels and watching them grow and develop

[@gurensan13]

My 5 year old daughter and I love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@kaochaos1]

You always make catching and cooking the fish so effortless.

[@12LFAN]

Its amazing how fast you've grown! Congrats! My son & I love watching you & the many Bay Area Fishing Dudes!

[@touakhang1128]

Yes! Thank you for showing us how to fillet a fish. I usually just hack at it trying to get a much meat as I can but now I know for sure that I'm getting the most out of my fish.

[@callofthewild5]

Great shot on the fish!! You make everything you cook look so delicious. Enjoy your videos very much.

[@nickhelly7484]

Definitely one of the best outdoor you-tubers on the west coast!

[@annietruong7135]

Thanks for making the videos! I like your catch and cook videos, especially with a different way of cooking different types of the things that are foraged such as clams, seaweed, fishes, snails, mussels,... You've inspired me to go foraging in tide pools, which I haven't tried yet.

[@Aged10Years]

Watching you handle the fish is art. You make filleting a fish look easy. Great content, Chef. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@gwenwilliams5940]

Love all of your foraging videos. I know inland foraging really well, but not foraging by the sea. Love learning new things and looking forward to getting some books for additional help.

[@zeeiki]

Great video! Spear fishing catch and cook is so great, I hope there will be more!

[@elkhunter76]

Another great video! Keep them coming! I learn something new in every one and I have been cooking outdoors for years.

[@esumk]

Awesome video. It’s crazy how many different kinds of sheepshead there are.

[@Play_outdoors]

Nice shot! Amazing for your first time speargun fishing. Thanks for sharing your adventures and recipes

[@Judyluvs]

Enjoying your video content. Getting to see the fishing and foraging you’re doing on the West Coast is vicarious adventuring.

[@cesarmedrano3344]

Bro, in less than one year you have gone from 10K to >90K subs, congratulations! Great videos!!

[@alanbest2730]

We used to catch a boat load of sheepshead out by the Catalina islands, and they have always been one of my favorites.

[@KevinKanNguyen]

Loving these videos. Cooking and being outdoors are my favorite things to do.

[@russellhubbard1]

Good Job! You work hard to cook what appears to be an EXCELLENT meal from the Sea!

[@casonlane9504]

Hey man I really love your videos and I've been watching since you only had 1000 subscribers. Keep up the good work!

[@stevenm9236]

Congrats on 10k! Such a good channel it won't take long before 100k. Looking forward to more foraging food videos.

[@sallymims7838]

I really enjoy your cooking. I always compare it to my father's seafood cooking. I watch you clean the fish. I want to do it myself soon. I will go to a fish market and buy a fresh fish and do like daddy did it. Thanks for all you do.

[@mattman7577]

The spearfishing was cool! Love how thorough you are with all of your videos and narratives! Keep on doing your thing!

[@coreytalley2764]

You have the Best Catch and Cook Recipes!!! I will have to try this one!

[@lisakipp99]

I'm impressed with your camera skills from this video to your current ones. Here it is very difficult to see how you are filleting the fish versus you're current videos. You guys rock!

[@runescapeaddict111]

Great video dude. I'm on the east coast so it's cool to see how different west coast fishing and the waters are!

[@frankmartinez5926]

Congrats on the 10k for sure you'll be reaching 20k in no time. That sheepshead looks soo good :b

[@kslacrosse9]

Awesome to see you trying new stuff. I love your videos man, keep up the good work!

[@johnnynguyen2368]

Man you’re living the life, like it!

[@ImonSantos]

Your videos are charming and informative and you're definitely in my rotation of favorite youtube channels, up there with Primitive Technology and Fisherman's Life!

[@corradocb5508]

That grill looks like it would be very nice for backpacking or day trips. Very cool.

[@JakedahCake]

Awesome video! Thanks for showing your filet technique. I will give that try. Gotta try spear fishing one of these days as well. Tight lines brother!

[@gilbertmondia2455]

Love your catch and cook videos! Awesome! Keep em coming

[@chrisrusso1808]

Truly a man of talent as a fellow chef I truly believe in what you do and appreciate it

[@DLJohnson01]

Thanks for the content you provide. I've started to forage and prepare fish like I've seen in your videos. I'm no sushi chef, but I'm slowly learning the proper techniques. Thanks again, and keep the great content coming!

[@kyleskatesnh]

Glad to see your channel growing. Showed my roommate your channel a while back we are both big fans.

[@brettlow8684]

[@trandanlazard702]

Thank you for all the videos of the California coast.

[@MrCrazyboi2281]

Congratulations! Love watching your videos! Keep them coming.

[@Jpw333]

Another great catch and cook my friend. Catalina is gorgeous that looked like a lot of fun. Just a little tip for beginners that don't have this perfected like you trying out this filet method, always complete the final step of fully swiping the knife through separating the filet with the knife facing away from you to avoid injury. Thanks for sharing man!

[@Szerrax244]

Woot! Congrats on the milestone, first of many I am sure! Keep them coming Master!

[@tomosato2736]

Hey Taku! Thanks for all your videos! Im super motivated to go foraging myself around the bay now.

[@primoaguilar8081]

Your videos are awesome and you have inspired my wife and I to do more outdoor activity. We have gone so far this year camping about 15 times along with caching and cooking. Keep up the good vibe and thanks for sharing your adventures. 🤙🏼

[@sloshedjosh1746]

Perfect first shot! Congratulations on 10K

[@lewishiller2617]

that portable grill is the bomb. I could use that as I ride my bicycle to alaska. love your videos. Thank you for teaching us.

[@FishingwithUncleDandan]

Nice, Catalina is such a great place to dive. Good choice for the first time. The rental boats are a little sketch. Glad y’all made it back safe.

[@aprilhardnett624]

Dinner looked sooo good!! Love your outdoor adventures.

[@knutsolbakken6923]

love it! never shy away from indoor cooking of your outdoor gathering/ fishing/ forage or whatever! just make an own series or something. and never shy away from your great skills,- also in terms of using more time in videos!! i think people will love it anyways! (outdoor shef life could be a lot!!) . or just a "outdoor" feeling of cooking, like a grill or whatever. it doesnt matter. people love you and follow you for you skills! never stress, take your time.. fx several brinimg solutions or whatever. you could fx fish and brine outdoors and cook inside or "inside". people know you and therefor follow you anyways, a great chef like you can do everyting! just call the video like it is, like you do=) sincere greets from norway

[@dangmashang]

Keep doing what you are doing man. I’m viet so these fishing videos are great to watch.

[@povyayang]

Love your videos. Keep the great content coming. Here's to another 10k subscribers!.

[@erikjuarez584]

Another great video . Me and my two little girls love watching the your video I'm showing fishing and cooking video to show them what we will be doing when we move back to texas from arizona . They have never seen the ocean it amazes them .We would be used that grill a lot if we win it.

[@roshif-tv9xd]

Great video! They keep getting better. Congratulations on hitting 10K It won't be long till you're celebrating 100k! I steer friends and family to your channel every chance I get. The Bison grill looks like a pretty cool setup...got my fingers crossed.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

ro shif1974 thanks, appreciate it!!

[@r4iverse]

Thank you for teaching me how to make chowder. I made it for the first time last weekend based off how you make it. It was delicious. I need this stove or a firebox.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Ryan Iversen that’s awesome! Might be doing a firebox giveaway soon!

[@alfandifirmansyah9408]

Really love your catch and cook things, keep up the good work

[@TheHahaha247]

Awesome grill I'd love to use it for camping.

[@randyadams9999]

Great video. My wife and I watch your videos at night before bed. Very relaxing. Great shot with the spear gun.

[@hectorberber5730]

Love your videos! I fish the San Diego north county area and just love to fish, camp out and cook fresh fish just like u do. Loved your lobster and crab ramen! Just beyond flavors! Keep fishing and maybe in the future colab with Mexican fishermen I know it will be great!

[@BigDudeSlings]

Have become a big fan of your channel love all your recipes many blessings and success with your new channel

[@jogosfishing701]

Awesome video. I like how you switch it up. Looking forward to the next one.

[@ascended_one]

Love your videos! Especially the foraging ones!

[@AppleSundays]

Congrats on the milestone! I shared your channel to my gf and she loved it as well! One suggestion for your ever growing success is to establish better camera angles! Loved that you showed us how to fillet a fish, but I wished I had a better view on what you were doing. Congrats again!

[@JaeYu]

You make me wanna try the things that you're trying in your videos! And your fillet skills too! Love your channel. Thx.

[@Gamerdynasty4ever]

This is a pretty cool invention! Also, congratulations!

[@eriknulty6392]

you should hit up the kelp patties around the island next time you go to catalina. i just got back from from fishing catalina and got a ton of hamachi (yellowtail). they are under and around the kelp all summer long. recommend going back next summer. but you can also go to the channel islands in the winter for some epic white seabass and halibut. Sheephead are some really good eating as you already know, they just take on the flavor of whatever they are cooked with. great video.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!!

[@MajikalMajix]

Dude... 92k subscribers today!!! You had 10k in this video... It's Ben amazing watching you enhance your techniques on every level. Sending love, light, and laughter from the gulf coast.. Biloxi, Mississippi... #coastlife #videobinge

[@CrunkyOMan83]

Nice, love the catch and cook and forage and cook.

[@bTizzle619]

Congrats on 10k and your first speared fish! Fingers crossed you make your way down to SD for some foraging tips. I'd love to learn how/what/where to gather some of what nature has to offer down here (but also a little to timid to just go pick stuff!).

[@holland1904]

I love your videos. I would like to see more of them more often. You have a lot of different cooking methods and recipes That are interesting. You can't get any fresher than from water to cooking. That is the best ever. Please keep up these adventures and good recipe videos. thank you and God bless. Tight lines.

[@EmmanuelKardamilas]

Congratulations on the subs man. Love the videos!
