MUNCHIES Presents: Lobster Luke
Vložit

- Luke Sandburg-a.k.a. “Lobster Luke”-is a friend everyone wants to have. Instead of paying nearly $40 per pound for California spiny lobster, he braves the dark waters off the coast of Venice, California, and catches those bad boys himself. We tagged along for a night dive and, along with some of Luke’s buddies, got to enjoy the succulent fruits of his labor.

If you know anything about Marina Del Rey that's a very long kayak ride to the break water. This guy is in really good condition. And then he goes diving AT NIGHT. This dude has no fear... Great episode!
hunger make you do crazy shit.
+morrison martin ^^^
no
I'd be more concerned about eels
fishing at night is way easier its almost cheating. Scuba diving at night and fishing is bullshit. Weak af.
night diving seems like something I will never do.
Then you're a pussy.
San Francisco no shame in being a pussy if thats the case
ITS REAL FUN THO!
Night diving it's like a whole different world cuz most of the animals wake up you'll see so many different colors that's because you're bringing artificial light normally you won't see that color during the day cuz she lose your Reds first as you go deeper but at night it's lit up like you wouldn't believe and there's so much more going on
It's fun, you can do it safely if you can be cool and aware of your location and surroundings. Practice with a compass in very poor visibility water, if you can locate yourself there then you can handle anything night diving will throw at you. Also you probably won't often night dive below 40ft. Luke was in 15ft of water which you don't even need to hold or anything coming up.
Love that he actually cares about the sizing and regulations.
Good on him. Living the dream.
Do you have any idea what they will do to you if you get caught? And trust in that spot where he is they were aware he was there.
@@kohenemoore the lobster laws in California are insanely strict. I've had California department of game and fisheries tap me on the should while freediving at 30 feet... they dont play and they dont mind getting in the water to catch someone. I heard about some guys that were poaching lobsters in the Laguna beach marine protected area get 6 months in prison and 2,000 dollar fine per lobster taken illegally. So much of the California coast has been exploited so they take their jobs very seriously and it's a good thing they do.
Run a google search for "Ca Lobster Poacher" and you'll see articles from every year about people getting jail time for breaking lobster fishing regulation. the DFW agents here don't mess around because Ca has so much wildlife that's threatened and so much population that might try to exploit it, they make an example of the people they catch poaching.
Waller Whittemore do they actually dive behind you to check on regulations? That's wild, basically underwater cops
He has to since he’s on video lol doubt he really does
Next time tell your friends to bring some sides with them, instead of just showing up to eat free.
+KobeBryant Hey man, they brought beers...for themselves. Haha I'm sure it's all good though.
+KobeBryant how about some women..
+KobeBryant His friends brought weed....
+Keety Mang its venice beach
+datDANK boats not big enough plus does he have a bathroom
beats the shit out of looking at excel spreadsheets all day and selling feather dusters out the back of my car
I once caught a spiny lobster... She is now my ex.
Same
Pizzachews that’s pretty good
@@Pikachewzz fuck pikachu lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Charizard fire blast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a chill dude. Enjoying life to the best of his abillities. :3
THIS MAN IS TRULY, ALIVE.
.....I thought he was a corpse
The hell! Your boys brought beer for themselves? Dude needs new boys
This is by far one of my favorite Munchies episodes. I'd love to go lobster hunting with this guy.
Hes living his life the best way
Rawabi Aljabbary exactly. as long as the way you choose to live your life suits you, and you're bothering no one, then so be it. May not be for everyone but let him do him. awesome
That's trippy as fuck!!!!! The lobster went from 7 pounds to 25 pounds WOWWW!!!!!!!!!
Samman nightmare That part actually annoyed me hahaha
Lol. Yea to funny.
Samman nightmar nice comment
how the hel did they find this guy???
+Khang On I wonder the same for most videos
+Khang On Craigslist personals.
+Khang On Maybe he found them
+Khang On farmers only
+Khang On lotta ways, reddit, craigslist etc.
This guy must be living life how its meant to be.
Wish everyone had the courage to follow your passion and do what you want.
God I know what you mean. In high school the swimming coach made us do morning laps at 5am. Cold water is one thing, swimming in the dark is just terrifying.
Man I need to go that place. The nostalgia from GTA V will be too much to handle
+Sir Alfred XI Ha!
Eh 🤷♂it's ok.
I’ve been there and it actually feels pretty cool
John Smith don’t even get me started
Nothing like punching whores on Venice beach...
That reminds me, need to get round to playing GTA V
"Called 5 of my boys, they all shot down pretty quick!" LMAO
$325 a month to live in Venice is dirt cheap. I rented an apartment about a 15 minute bike ride away from the water and it cost me $1300.
RiotHouse that’s an apartment and this is a rent to staying a boat! Huge difference
RiotHouse It could also be that you’re a fucking pussy LOL
Yeah but you had a toilet
Whoever you are, you just made a new friend! Lobsters, sunsets and cityscapes to live for! 😳👀👍🏾
That may be the first time I've heard a lobster make a noise when being killed
“We need a bottom”
The hairy musty manpussy!
This guy has life figured out.
Daddy bought him the boat.
Lmao foreal. And his life is so simple.
Dude has to do it to survive haha can’t live anywhere for 300 a month and especially not at the beach while waiting tables lol good for him though bad ass meal every day at least
I got plenty respect for those of you who night dive especially, those who dive alone 👍🏽💯%
This guy's living the fuckin' life!
mart3h no he's living like larry
Dope lifestyle fam
+Eske Ozdemir weren't you on a tv show?
+Eske Ozdemir Awful hairline though.. :(
+jodawgsup oh come on its not his fault
Yeah, if you never want to have a girl...Haha
Paulo Veloso u don't think a girl would like this guy. I beg to differ
Living is harsh but, I like this man
The volcom shirt and salty crew hat r so on brand for this guy
I really wanna steal this guy's identity and just live his life
Safi Rouhi rg
Safi Rouhi
Identify theft is not a joke Jim! Millions of family suffered every year!
Safi Rouhi just be a bum on the beach and you’ll basically have his life
@@danielfaust10 Why are you so angry ? Are you tired working 12 hour shifts at your dead end office job ?
that fucking looked like a sangheili from halo. 7:07
Atlantian confirmed.
there's a creepy ass face at 7:07 that might have been him when the gopro fell down
What was that??!!
nice work catching them, any weed involved in the dinner hahaha! Some glassy eyed mofos in the last couple of minutes
That sketchy feeling someting is always behind you 🤣🙈
I had a life much like this one for my early 20's, now I'm mid 30's with a wife, my own business, and lovely children. I have a great life but look back really fondly to those days, I've never been so free! 😊
Go back
5:10 that view is incredible
Agreed
Couldn’t be happier for this guy for living life the way he wants, but I couldn’t stop hearing the theme song to Jaws.
I usually re-visit this video like once a year. Makes me feel calm and centered.
Folarin Osibodu 7:07 must really be calming lmao
I'm allergic to shellfish... GIVE ME A BITE MATE!
This guy is like bubba gump!!!!! But with LOBSTER!!!!!!! Mind BLOWN!!!!!!!
"oh, it´s screaming at me"
im traumatized
Why doesn't this guy have his own show???!!! I'd definitely tune in regularly!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
These kind of videos are why I'm subscribed to Munchies.
people be cooking lobster but i be cooking top ramen because im on budget :d
Gerald Aldrian Ramen Squad!
those dudes may have been eating a bunch of lobster, but that party at the end was one huge sausage fest
"spiny lobsters puncture you once in a while, and you get a nice little infection for a week or two..." -Luke
Don't you love that carefully placed annotation on the top right corner of this video? I do.
This dudes life seems so free. Love it.
I do this same hobby except I free dive for the lobsters. Night diving is truly a beautiful escape from everything. When you're in that water at night nothing else matters in that moment. You enter another world🤙
"Nice little infection for a week or two but , worth it " lmao
Here in Nova Scotia we get lobsters 5-10 to 25 pounds and you wanna know how you catch them ...traps
"This Lobster is Way Above Average." This episode is just a bit above average. Cool lobster though.
why? this episode seemed pretty lacking.
+d vc What's wrong with the episode? Did you want him to juggle the lobsters? Some people are so demanding.
+d vc it was awesome. The guy dove at night to find his food for dinner. Kinda adventurous. It's not a normal thing for most of us.
Not kidding, two lobster that size, couple drinks, couple starter, easily a thousand dollar dinner in upscale LA restaurant. And this guy just dive and snatch it, what a life.
I have respect for people like this. Just their own person doing the thing they enjoy.
this guy does a lot of muscle work cycling kayaking swimming , what a lifestyle
Anyone else see the face at 7:08? It's super creepy
yep
Yeah holy shit
+Diego Medellin There's an edit cut at 7:05 right after he moves his hand in front of the lens. Don't really know why it's included or what it has to do with the go-pro falling, but still, cool little jump scare.
+Diego Medellin its just the camera facing the man
It's just him looking at the gopro upside down
Haha, Luke looked stoned to the bone at the end talking about the lobster being above average
Damn. Vice you guys have totally enlightened me about new lobsters. This dude is also like the man. Rides his bike to work!!! So sweet!!
Dat sunset tho.
doh
Doe
***** a deer?
Are you related to Ada Wong?
🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💪🏽
"oh its screaming at me"
That lobster could have been 50 years old. amazing that it still tastes delicious at that age
Age ain't nothing but a number
that is self realization right there. this dude loves his job and he does it well... i wish we all could find the same
living the dream bud
The man is borderline hipster but not quite one! I think he's a genius..😎
Im such a scardy cat. All I can think of is there are sharks out there! Kudos to this brave man for what he accomplishes!
Thank you. An excellent and informative video. You have it all, the sun, the sea and the sky and with some creative effort, some wonderful lobster catching and eating. Now I'm a subscriber.
Respect dude. We do this in New Zealand alot. Awesome to see!!!!
im glad people like this are out there
My dudes eyes were bleeding at the end, lol
"its gotta be a 5 or 7 lbs lobster.. a 10 or 15.. A 20 lbs lobster right here. its about a 50 lb lobster right here" WTF IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT?
+datDANK wasnt being serious
+Trey Collinge oh... white jokes
+datDANK It looked like he was leaving it up to the editor to use him saying the right weight after they got back and actually weighed it.
+datDANK It's like a fishermen's joke... like when someone catches a big fish and they tell the story the fish gets bigger/ heavier every time they tell it
+datDANK you would think the guy could afford a scale to weigh the dam thing
Dom Mazzetti goes lobster hunting
Respect to you on your way of living.
I’m 5 years late but this guy is like a walking movie or something. Waits tables and lives on a boat. Kayaks like 5 miles to dive at night for some of the most expensive lobster in the world. Unreal
he's like it's dangerous but..really he be like stay away from my lobsters
Damn this guy is living the dream
that sunset at 5:15 is Tycho as fuckif you don't know the band Tycho listen to A Walk and you'll know what I mean by Tycho as fuck
This is my fav Munchies video. For years.
YES! So many people say that maine langosta is best but I'm a big fan of the spiny variety. The chewiness lets you enjoy all of the flavor before swallowing and it absorbs so much flavor when put into a soup. So good grilled and the fact that you can snorkel dive for them makes the whole hunt so much better than just buying one from a tank.
Hey my guy, respect from the caribbean 👌
Yeeew! Thanks
Until today I did not know one could live on a boat. My life is going to change.
You don't want to live on a boat...
+Jon Doh But I do!
***** Be thankful you are fortunate enough to live on land or have family that support you. This guy is struggling to make ends meet, that's why he's living on a boat.
Jon Doh I'm tired of the rat race man! I need to be free!
Brandon Tran as long as you are living and paying money to survive then you are a slave. We all are
Major respect for the hustle... This guy goes balls out just to live nice.
I love night diving! It’s a completely different experience from day.
Although any time of the day is fun diving.
Like this just for "holy fucking sunset" lol
who saw the ghost face at 7.07 that made him drop his go pro he kept quite about that
+THE FINAL BOSS you mean how he checked the lamp to notice if the go pro is there? Hence the red flickering light
+THE FINAL BOSS 7:07
+THE FINAL BOSS Yeah it was weird. It was definitely a face, but it might have been some sort of weird reflection of his own face with the mask.
+THE FINAL BOSS That was his own face... you know... cause his gopro was filming... and he dropped it... and it filmed his face on the way down... his own face...
+THEFINALBOSS lmao dumbass that was HIS face
Did a lot of lobster diving around the Channel Islands in the 80-90 during week long sailing trips out of Santa Barbara. Great fun. Night dives were the best. Know the feeling when going for that last one and running out of air more than a few times. Having to make your way across 100 + yards of kelp on the surface kicking and crawling back to the boat still didn't ruin the adventure.
dude in the ocean, turn light off,pitch black, turn your light on, goddamn shark's mouth right in front your face! thats my fear. Kudos to this guy.
awesome. this is why I'm subscribed
I actually thought this was about a lobster named Luke and im very disappointed right now... Didnt even watch.
Juibus imagine it being a lobster mascot and they ate it
YO THATS FUNNY AS HELL MAN
Great stuff, such a fantastic channel. Lobster looked incredible!
The lobster warning his friends about humans abducting them:observe
Luke:mmmmmmmmm
I had no idea they made noise
I don't think it's safe to eat lobster that lives that close to the shores of LA
+Chicken Soup lol not fish but crustations have shells that are even repel radation
+begood20000 The problem is, it takes years for people to get sick off of pouted game.
+Chicken Soup Actually its fine lobster are low on the food chain making the ppm is low in the meat compared to shark or something high on the food chain.
Munchies one of the best channels I´ve subscribed to.
430 lobsters disliked this video this guy is like the movie i just watched Beach bum without all the alcohol and drugs .
need more keep it canada
Sounds like Taco from The league
dude should make a youtube channel. grind that extra bread yknow, ill definitely subscribe
The lobster screamed....
You didn’t leave him on the ice long enough man. His death was not painless
I wanna meet him!
Lobster = Sea Cockroach
you have 5 pound roaches wow
I would say bugs are a closer comparison
Mainstream Cat almost makes me want to steam up some bugs and dip um in butter ...
LAWL !
Yea but the ocean is cleaner than dirt
Lobsters are actually part of the same family as cockroaches though. And bugs are just a term that for all invertebrate.
More of this series!
I like this dude. He makes me miss OC where I grew up.
