Everything about this channel... Your personality, skill, non-animal-cruelty (thank goodness for that!), and some great underwater video, is just amazing. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to make around 30 minute long videos that you spend hours upon hours on, setting it all up, recording, waiting for the fish, and editing. Lemme tell you, all your effort isn’t for nothing. Personally I find you really entertaining and an overall great guy. I’m sure many others share my opinion. Thank you so much for this! Have a great day!
Agree, personally i don't advocate killing, but this guy has got everything, humor, nice sceneries, adventure, nice editing, educational, etc And good food, sorry for the fish though
I’m a huge video game nerd, never fished, always stayed inside, and never really had a fishing video in my recommended until a few days ago, and now I’m practically hooked on your videos. Your excitement really makes me wanna try fishing out myself. Keep on fishing bro!
This guy has a genuine love for animals, rare to see. I thought I was too caring, nice to see someone like me. I hunt, fish, but with care and attention for everything.
Fun video! My girl and me just got off the Puget sound today! 2 small coho( threw them back) and 7 Dungeness crabs. Love the video as always man! Hope to see you around. Covington, out!
Don't we live in one of the most beautiful places on this earth! The Puget Sound area in general is so diverse with so very types of fish and shellfish. Thanks for showcasing this place at it's best to the world Leif! doug at Redondo.
Couldn't agree more.... Just imagine showing off the San Juans. It would break the internet 😂 jk, thank you for enjoying Doug, can't wait to share the next 🤙
I've been freshwater fishing my whole life and just started saltwater fishing a few weeks ago; your salty vids have been a HUGE help in understanding...well....everything! Thanks Leif!! We got tons of amazing places to fish both salt and fresh up here in Bellingham! You're always welcome up here!
Awesome video. You make me so hungry when I watch your videos. Keep up all the awesome videos. I also just ordered your fishing pole the okuma celilo. Can’t wait to use it. Take care.
Your underwater footage of the fish around washington is the best thing on UA-cam. As a lifelong Washingtonian I appreciate what you do man. Hope I see ya out there sometime.
I found your channel yesterday after catching my first fish since I was a kid. Your enthusiasm and care for all creatures is lovely. Congrats on all the new subs. I've subbed and have been binge watching your videos since yesterday. They made my day. Thank you for sharing your skill and zeal!! I'm ready to get out there and feel the excited of "fish on"
Thanks man, that really means a lot to hear. I have the best subscribers in the world, so they deserve the best content. Love filming these videos for you 🎣❤️🤙
Amazing video man never ceases to amaze me when u pull off this awesome underwater footage the effort u put into these videos really shows and I appreciate it.
I’m new to the channel! Great to see a fellow Washingtonian creating quality content! I’m on the east side in Spokane. I need to get over to the Seattle area and hit up some mountain lakes to fish! Thanks for the great tips!
This dude is probably the best guy in Washington. God I love living in Washington. There are a decent amount of good people and a lot of unique people as well.
Dude this channel is amazing. I just love your catch n Cook adventures. Btw, this channel has been growing so much over the last weeks. It‘s sick!!! Congrats from me as well!
Don’t know why you have only 79k subscribers ... your videos are amazing! Man you should do a video with Matt fisherman life! Love the both of you guys !
Man this video brought back some good memories. When I was a kid our dad used to take us out in the Puget Sound to fish and crab all the time. The Sraits of Juan De Fuca, Eagles Island, Gig Harbour, etc. That actually looked like Eagles Island that you stopped at. We caught tons of Salmon, Halibut, Cod, Dungeness crabs, Dogfish(which is what you are calling sharks). You should gut everyone of those things before you throw them back. We moved away the year before Mt St Helens erupted. Ruined a bunch of the good fishing rivers and lakes up there.
Good job Leif.. I wanted to go this Saturday but couldn't make it.. next Saturday should go for sure! Maybe I'll see you on the water 🙂. happy to see your channel growing... 👍 Been watching you from very beginning. Best wishes to you buddy!
I didn't get my NWFS fix last week, I was starting to worry about you. Has it really been Two years since you've been on the boat? Time flies seems like yesterday. I think you were fishing for Lings? Glad to see this channel blowing up, you deserve it. We did a charter on the Slammer out of Westport last week for my Birthday. Caught flounder for bait for the lings. 40 lings and 140 rockfish later we walked off with 15# of fillets that was worth more than the trip lol. I think on my New Orleans Oyster POboy video I show how to make homemade Remoulade sauce from Louisiana. You really need to try that on your next fish tacos. We use it for everything and it's a staple condiment for our Seafood. Super simple to make.
haha yeah it sucked I couldn't get a video in last week! And I've had that boat for about 4 years, she's just been sitting out of the water for 2. Been using other boats since, but needed to revive my old baby ❤️ And that sounds like one heck of a trip! Can't beat those Westport charters.... Will check out your video and give that remoulade a try! Thanks!
Wow good video!! Subed a few weeks ago loving your vids, getting back into fishing dit some with my granpa as a kid now 30 years later getting back into it, bought a trout starter pack and did alot of learning last weekend. Live on whidbey island bout an hour north of seattle. Fish on brother!!
@7:48 now that explains the danish sea salt lol. That’s awesome man, keep up the good work and love the killer content. Btw have you tried squidding yet around the puget sound? If you haven’t yet it would be something to try out.
Hey man your flounder videos are what got me into your channel. As a newcomer to the sound I wanted something distinctly saltwater that wasnt too hard or too heavily regulated to get my feet wet. Happy to see you at it again. You're a great and positive content creator love your stuff. Btw love the underwater footage on your videos. So enlightening to be able to actually see what's going on.
It was amazing! Where we were at on the Columbia was tough yesterday, but i still brought back some of the most yummy looking salmon meat I've ever seen! I moved here from Colorado 4-5 years ago, and your videos and one of my homies helped get me back into fishing hard the past few years. I'm excited to try this super fresh salmon!
Hello life I just want to say I love watching your videos I am recently starting a channel and your a huge inspiration to me and I’d love to be more like you
You fish several of the same lakes and areas that I used to fish. I retired from the US Army disabled and I can't manually pull crab pots anymore. I have to be careful when I fish as I am often alone and my wife worries (not without reason) that I might get myself in trouble. I enjoy watching you fish and actually catch something. If you ever want to fish on any of the military bases such as Ft. Lewis, Jim Creek Radio Station (if they open it again), Whidbey Island, etc. let me know.
@@NWFishingSecrets not gonna lie, I thought you messed up by putting the cheese in first and were just owning it. But then you flipped it... I was impressed ;)
I enjoy watching your videos very much. They‘re a gate from my home in germany to the wonderful wild nature of the us. Since two days I have the permission to go fishing in germany. Now I will discover the nature of my neighborhood. Stay the way you are and take care! Grüße aus Deutschland!
Hey thanks for recommending me to watch this video. That 500 reel really amazed me like you said stood up to a baby shark... JUST WOW !!!!! And I really enjoyed the video of the sea food preparations .... That again 🙂🙂🙂 Mike
I ran commercial flatbed for 13.5 years and I have never seen anyone use a flare like that in that capacity , just nuts . I'm glad you didn't explode your propane bottle .
Hey dude, i just wanted to say that me and my dad are going out and going to do a catch and cook because you inspired me!! I might make a street taco like the ones that you make look AMAZING :) and my dad likes your channel too. Thank you for my happiness and everyone elses :) we love you ❤️

Thanks man! Glad that they're helping you out! Fishing is good over here, you'll love it!
Also, for people watching this video, it's illegal to bottom fish in the puget sound without a descending device.
Very true 👍
and its illegal over I believe 120' to not have one with you not just period
What is a descending device? A weight?
Never mind, he explained and showed it 1 minute after I posted.
