The Most EPIC Striped Bass Surf Session! Live Anchovies Washed on Shore!!

You know you like Fisherman's Life when you have to pull over in a parking lot and watch🐟🐟🐟🐟

Primal Son how do you not understand what he said lol

[@mastocytoma1]

Absolutely!! 🤘😉

[@johnc6228]

Why the Question mark? I was driving. I got a notification on the phone. I looked at it safely while driving. I pulled over in a store's parking lot that I had no intention of shopping in. I watched a video of a nice, helpful guy fishing. Because that's what fishermen do. When you're not fishing you like to read about or watch others. And this is a fisherman's life.

I watched fisherman’s life as a kid bc he fished in the Bay Area where I’m from and know he is almost at 1 Million and it has been a very fun time to be watching him for all these years and I remember when he got his first boat type thing and I told my dad new things that I learned from watching his videos then my dad loved watching fisherman’s life with me and I can’t wait for you to hit 1 million

Oh my, I just realized how close you are to 1 million

You inspired me to learn how to fish after watching all the mouthwatering 'catch and cook' videos. Your videos have been helpful because I don't have anyone to teach me. I wanted to share with you that I caught my first fish using all the tips you've dropped! Here's to tight lines and many more fish :)

[@tashey1203]

Can’t wait for you to hit one million man. Hope you, your beautiful wife, and son are staying healthy and happy :)

[@Namugaseum]

I always look forward to seeing your videos because you remind me of my Dad who passed away in 2018. He too moved to a coastal state so he could go fishing more, biracial, married to an Asian lady and had kids. I [see] him every time you get excited. “Fish on!” 🎣

Great vid! Love the catch and release. Setting a great example and giving us hope that the striped bass fishery recovers and we start getting back to what it should be. Well done.

[@marvicty]

Wow!!, that was like it was back in the day. Brings back many good memories. Matt's, ditch that treble hook for a single siwash hook with a bucktail. Make sure you face the point of the hook up so it doesn't dig into the sand like those garbage treble hooks do. P.S. Major 👍 for the vid

[@FishermansLife]

Thanks Francisco! I ordered a new set of kastmasters. Will do

[@timbillings3652]

Fly fish!!!!!!!

[@johnc6228]

You're right about using a single hook for stripers. I'ts all about that bass, 'bout that bass.(no treble)

How do you know that the point of the hook is gonna face up? I’m curious never thought about this

[@fabulousrobert6607]

Glad to see you made it out there. Fish on!!! Yeah man, I lost a really big, big! bass using a white bucktail Mickey’s to 2 very large seals. Both seals literally came out of nowhere and chased the bass swimming hella fast diving in, then diving out, diving in, diving out. I wish I had video. They eventually got the bass really close to shore. I just didn’t want to hook any seal. Luckily, I was able to pull the hook out the fish, and I got my lure back. One seal took the fish while the other followed. It was an awesome sight. But yeah, be careful of those seals. Awesome day homey!!! Nice! 🐟👍🏆

Luckily there was someone by me that helped me walk back to the dry sand. Be really really careful where you step. Not just you but anyone else that reads this. Great video Matts! Keep up the good work!

I specifically thought of you as I was headed out to that sandbar. Made myself be extra cautious. There were a couple 1 foot drops out of nowhere

Thanks for sharing, your channel is great,! I hate to date myself, as a kid in the late Fifties early sixties on into the Seventies we lived in southern Arizona and it seemed that every other weekend my parents and I would end up somewhere in Baja fishing. The Kastmaster was and still is the best all around lure in my opinion ever made, from small Trout to big Striper's. Caught many a fish on those and still do. Thanks for bring back some of the best memories a guy can have....Fishing...well maybe girls too..

To the person reading this: Have an amazing day, and I hope your dreams come true one day 😊 My Dream is to have 1k After going through some hard times, I realized that watching these videos really helped me get through those tough times and put a smile on my face when I really needed to relax and get away from it all. So I decided that I wanted to be able to do the same for other people, and this inspired me to start making my own fishing videos and share my passion for fishing so that maybe I could make a difference in other people's lives the same way these videos did that for me!
