He drove 2000 MILES from Minnesota to EAT THIS FISH!

This whole part is only accessible at low tide, it's all covered in super slippery seaweed, but yeah, we're going to walk to the end, not many people can get out normally, so I think there will be some

fish

we can catch when we get there . cast,

this

is where we are going to

fish

on that rock on both sides, yes you will use that rod, do you have any favorite colors? swim bait whatever works what's up guys so I'm here with Matt mattock matt maverick Matic pro drone that I use anyway we're here at one of my usual rockfish fishing spots it's very tide today low he said negative so

this

spot where we are fishing there is a rock right behind me that we are trying to get to, well it will be completely inaccessible in about an hour so we really want to get out and fish but first I want to introduce you Maverick, let him tell you where he's been and why he's here on the coast.

What's happening guys? My name is Maverick. I'm from Minnesota definitely out of my element a little here, we're here in Northern California right now and I've been on a three week road trip so this is my final destination of my road trip. I've been working my way west and then south and I'll be in California for a couple of days and then I'll be back in Minnesota, so I'll have a lot of videos on my channel, but I've been a fan of yours for a long time and thank you sincerely for dreaming of being here right now, I appreciate you inviting me, yes, I'm sure I have something to fish for, yes, a little story when I got out of college, fresh out of college, I went on a road trip, I think .

I packed up my little Geo Metro and

drove

from California, went to Texas, to Florida, to North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, went to Niagara Falls and then to Montana in Washington, Oregon, so yeah, the last one part of your trip is like the same as mine, I did all that in about three and a half weeks, yeah, oh yeah, just driving like I was going somewhere. He didn't have any electronic devices, all he had was a paper map that he

drove

on standing still. a hotel and I'll say okay I'm going to this destination tomorrow so I would go hard there and I went all the way around yeah in Florida the check engine light came on it was my catalytic converter had melted and I kept going driving, someone hit I don't know, but yeah, I just wanted to say that at that time I had just finished college and I didn't really have any obligations, like no kids, no family, no job, you're probably the same situation, so I was thinking about that moment.

That's the perfect time to take a trip like this for some reason. You might think that in the future it just wouldn't be a possibility. You know, yeah, so if you guys have that free time, you should really take advantage of it. go out and just see the world because you might not get an opportunity like that later in life, yeah, you know, that's how it was actually, so this has been a road trip that I take for a while, two years, yeah , my friends at university. Otherwise, I was going to do this and finally it was the opportunity that presented itself and I thought, "Okay, yeah, and you might not know it at the time, but later on, looking back, you'll have a lot more." experiences and a completely different perspective on life compared to other people you know, like a lot of people, or they don't come here because it's a little scary, you know, yeah, good words from some friends to give me a jump, but yeah. once you make the jump it's good yes it's scary like your questions are going through your head like what if I'm not making money what if I go broke what if something breaks I get hurt yes never where - sleep so just Don't worry about it and just follow the path, especially if you are alone, like you don't have your parents to support you, everything depends on you, if something happens, it depends on you, so it's a great learning experience, you know ? you learn to wash your own clothes, to wash your own dishes in your truck or in your car, yeah, so he's just sleeping in his truck.

Today we are going to Cabazon, as I said, the tide is low, so we want to go fishing. First, he's never tried rockfish yet, so we didn't try to catch one and then take it to the truck and cook it a couple different ways, so yeah, thanks, yeah, yeah, that's an experience for you, I'm sure. to be here. so so let's get to it no they're not there they have good traction oh yeah yeah no these are not like that okay bro yeah that looks good water yeah if it were you would add yeah Well, whatever seems good to you. it's all kinds of water, it usually goes right next to the rocking chair, oh yeah, like that, you're good at launching yourself as far as you can, yeah, and you should be able to feel the bottom good, so the Mavericks will fit right there, in that spot and I'm going to throw to the right there's a bite, any bite, I don't know what the bite is, I feel like it's going to be a hard fall, yeah, yeah, he hasn't done anything yet most of the time it'll be like a strike and then I'll feel like dead weight, almost like a bass, I think, and then you set the hook.

The only bad thing about rock fishing like this is off the cliffs and stuff, there aren't as many areas to fish as you do. restricted to this place this area yeah, I'm going to head towards that rock, thank you, nice, I saw that I saw that I saw that that was definitely yeah, sit hard because you have to put it through his mouth very hard, very hard. The mouth said it as loud as you can, yes, I dragged it into your set very, very tight, so it's okay, the third time it's a covering spell, go ahead, I'll give them the whole wall.

I approach here from the side instead of up and down maybe. get a better idea of ​​the bite, wow, yeah, that's good, what the hell is it, let's go, that's a black and yellow rockfish, little fish, not bad, we're going to bleed it out, hook it right in the eye, right there , so it looks like today we'll even eat fish, get something to go hipster with a rock fish, baby, yeah, let's let them sit here for a while. Hey Sean, I got it right, buddy, how do you guess? You have the same thing, okay, okay, they have a small bank of them.

Out here I'm pretty sure it's a black and yellow rockfish, a black NOLA rockfish and I grabbed it, can I let them go? Yeah buddy, I think this might be my first saltwater fish I've ever caught, as you know, go make your own. Kind of, yeah, I'm like a shipper. Great, how does your swimming buddy look good? I have another one if you want. I'll save it for now. Alright. I can put a small tidal pool in there. I'll put them up, yes. It's really like fishing for bass and they look like bass, right? Yeah, exactly, yeah, once this rock is covered, we should, yeah, we should call it, so yeah, buddy, fish for about 20 minutes or so.

Amazing, yes, it's always great to see people. about some fish fishing for the first time saltwater fish pretty much just amazing trying to give it a break here the whole west coast experience there he is there's a little rockfish unfortunately the Mavericks mic went out but I still wanted to show you the setting up your truck So here's what's been traveling from Minnesota to the west coast. A nice little refrigerator that can be converted into a freezer. He also built this bed in about two days with a little help from some friends. A nice, very long drawer where you keep all your kitchen utensils. cookware stove spices coffee pots and pans have everything there with one hand easy to push to put it away this thing is great ten gallons holds 10 gallons this tube here you can pressurize it with this little nozzle there and you can rinse it off after a long day of water salt fish or hook up a hose to it and take a shower pretty neat, there's also another tube in here that holds all the fishing rods, fishing rods, lots of different varieties of rods, a nice little feature to save some space and also on top a couple of gas tanks in case you find yourself in the middle of nowhere low on fuel, and of course a chainsaw on top in case you need to cut down a small tree, but overall, it's a pretty nice setup built by him and his friends, so put the rockfish there and we'll go fishing one more place before we cook the rockfish.

We're here trying to get another fish hoping to put a link in the freezer of his truck and maybe I can take it home for his parents. try it, but that thing over there looks amazing, that thing over there looks amazing, everything looks amazing here, so there's definitely some fish and I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get some, so we'll catch some more before we cook them. rock fish, okay, Mavericks fishing there I want to fish this spot right here, the tides are coming in so you know it'll be on top of the rocks pretty soon, a lot more current here, that's one fish buddy, two times larger than mine, I could come. come back I might come back I didn't expect one to completely catch me oh here's a big wave I'm in the splash zone right here yeah I think we should move you had your chance though there are fish yeah uh yeah I feel like a ling cod oh oh that's a good Cabazon, yes, Cabazon, yes, they must be 15 inches to keep, but they eat well, oh yes, I think so too, yes, I just got these really nice calves, that's a keeper, I'm pretty sure they must measure 15 inches, as you probably already.

I know, but MAV has never had taxis and we already have to put away our two fish, so will he take it home to his parents, put it away again, or take it home to his family, put it in his freezer and make Let them try it. 'cause I'm sure they've never had west coast fish either, so I'm going to beat it up, bleed it, put it in the cooler up here, make your heart race a little. I was fine until I got there, yeah, that last place, oh well. It's done, there's no more of that today I forgot about the fish, that's a hike back down, back up, so I'm going to prepare this fish in a way that I learned in Alaska, so it's super simple.

What I'm going to do is fry it, but I'm going to add a secret ingredient and it's my favorite ingredient to add to the flaked white fish and that would be Asian red chili, this is a ground Thai chili, you get it like in a lot of oriental sections. and grocery stores and it just adds a lot of flavor to it and I'm just going to add a little bit of oil, a little bit of salt and then this is going to be my pepper so I'm really excited others first let me know if we did it wrong or not. so yeah ok I'll try it ooh that looks really good nice and crispy I'll see if it's done joho perfect yeah well I'm eating FOMO and the dish looks good yeah I must admit this is the first time sal antonin, he is really good. oh yeah, I'd sell it in a restaurant, man.

I have to say it might be better than the halibut I had in Alaska oh yeah now it's supposed to be time to do the honors yeah yeah do that. I love tempura. I have never eaten a fish tempura. it's so good you wouldn't sell it in the restaurant I would buy this in a restaurant yes, seriously, not that good, oh that's a little spicy, a little clocky, yes, not too much, that's good, little Key hmm , not good, long time, maybe three minutes, yeah. not even yeah, three minutes apart maybe not even, man, two minutes could have been two minutes apart.

I think that will be enough for this video. A successful day. The cook's catch turned nonconformist with his first rockfish since Yes, you're welcome. all the way from Minnesota just to try this fish, yeah, all the way, that's the only purpose, the only purpose was, honestly, yeah, so look at his channel stand, you know, doing his thing, yeah. I would really appreciate it now, thank you. Much for having me, thanks for showing me the ways and for cooking some fish in my truck. Yes, I'm glad you missed a couple of fish, but you'll get them next time.

Yes, leave a little more for next time and thank you. Guys, a lot of comeback in this episode of boca, be so kind as to go below, comment and subscribe, press the notification bell, like this video if you liked it, but until next time, my name is Maverick and you're done ready. keep going
