It's crazy this is where it all began. Amazing to see the growth of your channel and yourself through each video!
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
During quarantine I’m rewatching all the nwfs vids. So here I am at the first one!

Crazy fishing guys like me 🎣🤙
First time seeing this video and it's amazing. Love to see where you started man. Keep up the amazing work.
129 videos later and look how far you've come 🤯 imagine where you'll be at another 100 videos, I'm rooting for you the best is yet to come. God bless and fish on!
I learned to fish during quarantine and love watching you because you are local!
And your videos rock@
I just wanted to say thank you, I have been fishing flounder the last few weeks on my days off and watching your video made cleaning and cooking them 1000 times easier and better, being a Washington resident my whole life I am constantly finding new ways to harvest food for my family with our going to the grocery store and your videos have definitely helped. I can’t thank you enough.
Hopefully I’ll see you out there fishing soon
Just started watching your channel, and I figured I’d come back to the beginning to see where it all began. I really enjoy your enthusiasm, and how you make us feel like we’re right there with you. You really are a bright spot of my UA-cam viewing! God bless
!
Thank you for the refresher, been years since my last flounder trip, taking my hubby from Minnesota out on the sound. New to him.🤗
It's super fun to go back and see the progression of your production quality.

2024 subscriber here... Just getting into fishing... So cool seeing your videos evolve man.. Very inspiring!
This just appeared on our feed. My husband and I are new to Puget Sound fishing. Really appreciate it! I’ll keep you posted when (if?) we catch a flounder, and importantly, how we cook it- thank you!!
Please be careful as these fish can make you very sick.
Always go back to watch the 1st video of people I sub to. Mine is kinda "off" as well; but you did WAAAAAYYY better than me LOL. I used to fish for flounder back in 85 off the Nisqually "Pier" (when it existed. My first one that I caught was larger than a large dinner plate (caught it with my kid's Micky Mouse/K-mart kids pole). I didn't even know what the Heck it was!! An old guy next to me on the pier told me how good they were, and told me; "I will show you one time how to clean it/prepare it". I took that fish home and after frying it with some flour, it was (and still is), the best fish I ever ate! SKOL brother, keep up the great work here in WA! ~SotN
Bought a shirt. Hadn't ever seen your first video, it's really good in such a raw organic way. Watching you catch, cut, and cook the fish was really cool. Danish sauce looks yum. Glad you got your channel going now, fun to share in your adventures, lived in WA for 8 years so feels like traveling back with a fun friend I've never met. Fish on!
Thank you for the love, support, and kind comment. Couldn't imagine better people to make these videos for 🤙 Love from WA, fish on!
Dear Leif, I love your videos. Every time you invite us to be part of your adventures it is full of impressions and very satisfying espacially when you stuck at home in winter during pandemic. Even more it feels bad to chriticize you at this point. If you had the opportunity, to respect life and end the suffering of an animal quikly you should choose that way instead of putting it in a box to suffocate slowly.
Nevertheless i enjoyed your latest videos and admire your respect and awareness for nature.

after cooking one side flip sprinkle a lil butter buds at wal mart and a lil garlic powder and spash lemon i just found lemon and pepper seasoning its good
Sounds delicious!
I usually catch flounders for bait, just a drop shot rig with a curly tail grub and almost any pro cure gel. Fills the live well in 10 minutes
Thanks for the video and content, Enjoy the fishing and learning tips 🥰 🎣 🌟
im glad i found your channel. ive been hesitant on how to get started fishing here in the puget sound.
I'm glad you joined the party! If you just want to get started and have access to a boat, then flounder is going to be your best bet! They eat almost anything and are a blast to catch. Thank you for watching, and maybe I'll see you on the water!
@@NWFishingSecrets can flounder be targetted without a boat? i dont have access to one :(
@@234kwon Hmmmm... They can. I've caught small ones off of fishing piers. A decent one is Les Davis down in Tacoma. I catch 95% of all my flounder in 20+ feet of water. Hard to reach that from shore... I'm starting a NW Fishing Secrets Founder's Club though, where you will get invites to events, join on the boats, receive giveaways, etc... All you have to do is subscribe on UA-cam, comment/like on the videos, and share content from the Facebook page! I want to turn this into a fun community, and would love to have you join! Let's put you on some fish! Feel free to bring fiends too
Found you a month ago, now i'm here....you the best Leif!!!
Here we go, Starting from #1. You inspired me to add a fishing episode to season 1 of Hello It's me. Just a short series I will be making on this Channel.
I absolutely love the way you do your videos and how you go outside on solo camping trips...It's so pleasing to watch.... Although I have a suggestion to make....Use coconut oil to fry fish ...Also try spices like red chilli powder..Black pepper powder...Turmeric powder...Mix them all together ..Marinate for an hour and try using coconut oil
Checking this one out after 2+ years of watching - 100+ episodes, bought a property, bought a farm ---- from the first Steelhead to those high mountain trout...this has been a wild ride.
Thank you for sharing brother I really liked your videos, I’m moving next week to Nanaimo, Vancouver island and I really liked your way and learned a lot because I used to fish in lakes and rivers in Ottawa:), thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love these videos. Learned a thing or two about fishing 🎣. Would like to get ahold of a bullet lure. Understand though too hard to market. Keep on fishin' on.
please do a boat review on your boats that would be awesome!!! love to see more salt water fishing!
Great video! Making me hungry well done.
Where it all started 😎
😜
Wow this is an old one, great job 👍👍
Well I am going to have to go flounder fishing next weekend.
lmk how it goes! 🎣
Love your videos man
Thanks man! Even this first one?!?! 🤣
Yes same from me ....found your channel during Lockdown and love all of your Vid. The way you make your vids is just soo cool . keep on going like this dude send you some Love from Scotland
Thanks man! Glad you found the channel and enjoy the vids 🤙 Greetings to Scotland from Seattle 🎣 🏴
@@NWFishingSecrets it would mean a lot to me if ypu would be so kinde and subscribe to my little channel to help let it grow. Wpuld be awsome dude.... 🤙👍
@@NWFishingSecrets Those orange things Brian caught were placentas.
Holy trout u have grown so much. Thanks for putting out such amazing videos been here since the beginning literally this popped into my recommended and I was HOOKED. Hope u have a good evening doubt you'll see this but eh what the heck. Tight lines bobber down and fish ons to you
Been watching for about a year and I have been searching for Yiur very first video and damn this is awesome ahah
Love to see your growth 🖤🖤🖤
Every week while crabbing we get flounder. We usually just cook it up with fins and skin. I'll try your way and maybe even freeze and stock up some
Hey man
Love your channel! Always exiting to watch. You've kinda inspired me to do fishing/cooking vlogs myself. Thx and cheers from Denmark!
really really good,,,, butter chopped potato onion cook till tender not till brown med high heat not on high add fish any way u want it i like the lemon and pepper seasoning and fresh lemon add salt pepper fresh lemon juice just to get hot as lemon juice gets bitter if over cooked
Thank you! I actually made something similar with a Whitefish two days ago. Blackened the fish and had Potatoes with butter, sea salt, and chopped green onion.... such good flavor combinations..... 🤤 🎣
Now yer talkin.
I generally use the egg wash, flour and panko for the breading. Love all fish that way!
Breading a simple white fish takes away the true flavor of the fish. Sauteed Flounder with a side of buttery rice and a nice side salad are perfect.
The first video.! Let's go.!!
I like using buttermilk versus regular milk. It makes the fry mix stick and taste better.
Lol finally got around to video no. 1 not disappointed man, keep it up bud looking forward to more new videos. hopefully you can convince Fisherman's life to do a collaboration video
P.s. "just a little bit a butter" love the subtle nod to Matts
had no videos left from this channel re watching from start now lol
Gonna watch all the videos starting with this one
Did you watch them all?
Damn even his first video looks professional
Your my favorite fishing UA-camr
Just found ya and liking it. Keep it up.
Love your videos!
Thank you!! 🎣 funny how you say that on my first 😂
@@NWFishingSecrets
Had to go through all your videos. This is my first year hardcore fishing and you go a lot of the same spots I go to.
@@johnnyappleseed.4420 That's great to hear! Welcome to the hardcore club 👊 🎣
Broil them with Johnny's seasoning salt, lemon zest, tarragon, and Dill.
Just a light pad of butter will coat the fish as it Cooks.
Low-fat, good for seniors and those on dietary restrictions.
Sounds delicious!
next time you go to the Puget sound use fresh sand shrimp they love it so much the bite rates are crazy.
Black salmon hoodie merch.
NO WAY THIS WAS YOUR FIRST VID!!!😲😲
I now right
Just discovered your channel. Great presentation, enthusiasm! Beginning to watch the journey from the beginning. :) I used to go with my grandfather Sanddab fishing in Puget Sound. Are the Sanddab and the Flounder closely related?
Those orange things are called sea pens.
THANK YOU!!! Finally an answer to what these mystery creatures were! 🤣 Cool stuff actually!
I just laughed for a solid 10 minutes because I read this comment as "sea penis"
I don't think the Flounder I caught today was very happy with me. It was looking at me kinda sideways.
Please pick me, I love the Washington hoodie!!!by the way I love your videos I have watched almost all of them!!!
humble beginnings are cool
talking about the go pro audio😂
Came back to day one... when you had hair Leif lol
You should do a video with Hero’s on the Water NWest chapter. It’s a charity organization that takes veteran/Active duty military out and fishes with them, they are located in Tacoma and do a lot of fishing in the sound. Check out their Facebook page. It might be a good way to get you more subscribers and them more attraction.
They do a lot of kayak fishing
That sounds like a lot of fun! Have you ever volunteered with them? Went out kayak fishing today with Brad Hole and the Outdoor Emporium staff. Some of them have fished with Hero’s on the WaterNWC, and said it is a great group of people
@@NWFishingSecrets ç
Watching all the videos and here I am the last one but the first one aha I worked it backward😂
Have to stop watching your videos, every time I watch your video l have to go buy some fish because it looks so great.
I love ur videos
👍🎣
NW Fishing Secrets omg u replied!!
I love your vids
I’ve always just fileted them, but that looks a lot easier.
Tried filleting them as well! More work, but wow it's like eating fish n chips! Totally worth it on the big ones.
ohh i hope i can go fishing too
i was told that fish with horns r called bull heads good for crab bait
True fans watch the original beginning to end
Had to see where it all started
Ive had good experiance using bacon or hotdogs to catch flounder too
Hey man sorry it took until now to like all these, you do an awesome job on your channel
Dude, did you just binge watch all my videos!? 🤣 I hear they cause brain cell loss which give an uncontrollable urge to go fish and cook them in the field 🎣 thanks man - literally I couldn’t ask for better support than that. Can’t wait to make more videos for you. Definitely let me know any feedback you have for improvement!! 👍 fish Onnn!!
NW Fishing Secrets yeah buddy👍🤠🎣
NW Fishing Secrets Lol iv seen enough to know your putting out good stuff man so I wanted to help you out like you are helping me. I definitely didn’t get through all your videos but I intend to!
May I suggest turning your heat down a tad...butter getting really brown almost burning.
Where do you go fishing and what do you use to plan it? I was wondering because i would like to go on a trip like this sometime soon. Thank you
Man I can watch videos over and over all day...lol... Have you had whole Flounder?
Sorry for the late response! You mean whole with fins & skin on? Never tried!
Allen Dermes deal 😂
that is a starry flounder btw and the other one is a rock sole
Those Starry flounder are so beautiful. And from what I've learned can get huge! Glad you survived that first video 🤣 😂
@@NWFishingSecrets yeah one of my buddies caught one weighing 12 lbs!!!
God bless you
booyeis sometimes have nice mussels attached
could make fish stock freeze it that fish alone would make 3 cups water cooked down to 1/12 stock for an hour
Great idea! I need to do a fish stock catch & cook!
I’m thinking about trying to fish over by Mukilteo beach area in the sound on my new boat. What types of fish are out here exactly? Thanks
Hey Chase! Thanks for watching and congrats on the new boat!! Lingcod just closed on the 15th, and you can't retain rockfish. Salmon is probably closed in MA 9 right now as well (refer to fishing regs). What I would go after especially on a first outing would be flounder in the flat areas SW of Possession Point in 50-80' of water. Use pieces of clam, fish, squid, worms, etc... They will also go after jigs in that area! If you can find areas with some rocks or kelp beds, you could try for cabezon, kelp greenling, and perch! Cabezon, like small crabs, so maybe try sand shrimp. They will also go after jigs. So will perch and kelp greenling! But I would definitely say to bring some floundering gear, as it is guaranteed fun! Also, since you have a boat now, I highly recommend downloading the "Navionics +" app. It's like $10/year but worth far more than that. Good luck and let me know how it goes!!! Feel free to send in some pictures of your catch (directions in my profile), and I'll show them off for you on my next vid.
ugly sticks a must....how many rods you got in the collection lol
lol, probably 15-20 rods 🤣 That's not even that bad. And 6 are Ugly stiks 🤣
I like how chill this video is. Most fishing videos are full of action. This video has almost no action! jk jk :-)
😂😝 that’s hilarious and so true. Was the first video I did. I was out with my friend Brian, and just thought F it, I’m starting the show today! 🤣
NW Fishing Secrets So many fishing videos can benefit from this type of candor, and that joy of fishing comes not just from catches but from just being out in nature!
@@NWFishingSecrets you hit the ground running. I died in my first video.
You're first vlog 😃☺😊😇🥰😍
😂 👍
We catch them a lot here At nisqually side
0:00 an addiction is born
It’s been one year!!!
Hard to believe!!!! 😂 Thanks for being a part of this journey!
Interesting here in Alaska Flounder is not really fished for. It is more like dam I got one while fishing for Halibut. We usually throw them on the barbeque. But that has to be done fresh if they are frozen then the flounder becomes like mush and my cat won't touch the meat
AkFred
just caught my first from shore at oakland bay. Great fish, wish I had a boat. Send me a message if you wanna hang out!
Congrats on that first flounder! How did it cook up? I'll be announcing a fishing event soon. Stay tuned!
@@NWFishingSecrets I kinda botched the fillet job but it was great
Tasty little buggers! Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you catch flounder from shore? When is the best time to fish in terms of season and tide?
You can! Best time would be June-October, as they will come into shallower water then! But you never know what winter could bring!! Good luck!!
Hi I live up in Vancouver BC , I catch them from shore I find the best time is one hour before slack low tide, high slack time would be good also at the right place , I go low slack because as he mentioned in the video sand worms , you can get these then in Sandy muddy type ground with rocks on top this is where I find them , these are the little creatures that bite you, I just use a sliding egg weight , put the weight on the main line , then a swivel with 5 foot leader , i hope this helps we catch these all around the Vancouver harbour ,
You're allowed to fish barbed hooks in the sound. It's only the bodies of water that the Rulebook specifies as "Selective Gear" that you have to fish barbless, single hooks.
EDIT: So, I was wrong. Barbless hooks only in areas 5-13.
Thank you for your video, but do you just let the weight sink to the bottom and then let it sit there?
Yep, just let it sit on the bottom. The current will drift your bait and boat, so just make sure your bait is on the bottom by letting out a little line here and there. Just wait for the tugging!
@@NWFishingSecrets
Thank you for the reply!
Hoping to see more boating videos once the weather turns better!
It is Chinook season in area 10!
500th like. 👍👍👍
I never had Flounder . I’m guessing it tastes like Halibut !
It's delicious! Actually just had Flounder tacos last night 👌Very delicate white fish, and does taste a bit like halibut! Glad you enjoyed my first video! 🤣
Here in Alaska we really don't fish for Flounder. Halibut is the way to go. I have eaten Flounder but to me does not taste like Halibut. It is a white fish to each there own
I went to Denmark 2 times. 🇩🇰 🇩🇰 🇩🇰
Is there big fish?
Im also danish and i would love if you also spoke danish in your videos 🤣🤣
jeg taler kun lidt dansk 😂
NW Fishing Secrets haha 🤣 i live in the town were you take the ferry to Læsø 😊👍🏻
Could you let us know what type of snap swivels you're using? Thanks!
I'm 70 and have caught countless flounder and sole in Puget Sound. I fished at Anderson Point in Kitsap County. Back in the 60's these bottom fish were large and were extremely plentiful, and their bellies were white and clean. These days you couldn't pay me enough to eat one. Brown spots from worms and industrial cancers are to blame. Please be careful as these fish can make you very sick.
Did you ever find out what those orange blobs are?
haha yeah! They're called "sea pens"!
What are those orange things?
I had to start from the beginning. Lol
legend 😂
