Anyone who has stayed at louse camp knows how creepy it can be. Bobo stayed there maybe longer than anyone else has, and has been researching boots on the ground for 20+ years before Finding Bigfoot ever came along. Respect where it's due!
AGREED!
I really wish Bobo and Cliff had their own show along with their podcast. They are sincere and entertaining.
Absolutely need there own production crew's, no TV crap with directors and all that BS. Just their own factual findings not all the thrill and frill
@@Mach11976 I was thinking the same thing 👍
They totally need their own show!
I got to meet Bobo in 2021 in Gatlinburg at the meet n greet dinner. He was gracious and listened to me tell him about getting chased by Bigfoot in 1978, Thanks Bobo, you are awesome sir.
It's okay guys -- Bobo has stated a few times that he lost weight because he cut out all the soda, candy, baked goods, and the like from his diet, and started a serious exercise regimen.
Ditching the long hair is just a coincidence; he's said he kept getting irritated by it blowing in his face outdoors, so he just asked a buddy to shave it.
No health issues. He's doing great.
Ty for that info I was just wondering if he had a health issue but nope just getting healthy good on him ☺️ 👍
I wondered about that, too. He sounded like him but what I saw was, NO WAY!! Yet, looking at just the face only, yep, that was him!! Glad he made the health change which was the reason for the drastic change! WHEW!!
That's good to hear 🙏
Holy crap.....i was wondering why that guy sounded so much like Bobo....lol. I recently did the same thing, cut out all sugar/flour etc....pants are falling off lol. Nice to hear Bobo's doing well
Losing the weight is one thing but the hair is what worried me. I know he loved his locks. Glad to hear he's not sick. Bobo's a real one
My Dad was head rig sawyer in lumber mills so as I was growing up we lived in towns like Rio Dell, Fortuna, Eureka, Willow Creek & Hoopa, It was in Willow Creek where I first saw Jerry's cast of the Bigfoot print. It was in the 60's when I lived in Hoopa. I use to hike a lot. Nothing else to do there. My friend & I use to go & just make our own trails straight up cliffs. But behind the trailer court where I lived I found the markers they do & a nesting area but at the time I didn't know what it was until I started watching Finding Bigfoot & then all my experiences were laid out for me. Then I understood it all. One day we were half way up the hill.... wanted to hike to the top to see what was up there & then there were big heavy foot falls that you could feel to your core coming down the hill towards us. We started running down the hill & it kept following. I figured out years later it was a bluff charge. Never went hiking up there again. Then after the Christmas flood of 1964.....as soon as roads & bridges were repaired my Dad moved us out. Had to the mill got washed away. You would think my Bigfoot experiences would disappear. No way!!!! We moved to Oregon where I had more experiences.
hi. i was wondering if you would like to talk. i would like to hear more of your experiences.
Wow! What would you describe the nest like? Where was it? I've hiked a lot in that area and have a documentary on my channel where I interview Jerry Crew's nephew. Thanks for sharing!
@@westernbigfootexploration I saw the cast but at the time it was no big deal to me. I was young. I lived in a trailer court...I believe it was the Chief of the tribe's John Jackson in Hoopa. But I think it was pretty much destroyed during the flood of 64. My parents had to walk in knee deep silt just to get to our trailer after the flood.What I saw were the trees that were bent into crosses I guess the warnings to stay out. But hey I was a kid & wanted to hike.
@@justgames21xd32 Sure I guess. But it's probably not interesting to you.
@@westernbigfootexploration Which Nephew was that????
I remember watching a video of Bobo a while ago and I think I heard diabetes mentioned, I hope I’m not talking out of turn. He sure is a great guy I could listen to his stories for hours. All the best from Scotland 👣🥃🏴
Bobo does some amazing long calls, if I was in the woods and I heard one of his calls I would believe it was a Sasquatch, he’s that good at it. The man knows a lot of information too.
OK Bobo I will catch u for real
I love hearing Bobo talk about his experience. He is one of my favourite Bigfoot researchers, I genuinely believe and hang on to every word he says. Keep It Squatchy Big Fella.
I thought finding bigfoot was pretty stupid but I always considered Bobo and Cliff to be sincere.
I heard the producers wanted them to fake stuff! What I didn't like was after about 10 shows they all seemed the same. They all followed the same exact template!! If you seen one you seen them all!!!!
They are Like Me..I LIVE FOR SASQUATCH.. I find It The most FASCINATING TOPIC IVE ever Heard of & Experienced In My Life. SINCE my kids Of course.👣🌲💛
I think that show was made to make more non-believers. To protect them.
Yeah, that show got old...real quick. Definitely a made-for-TV type of thing.
You mean Moneymaker was only in it for the money??
Bobo changed so much wow
Bono is a great person from what I can tell. Love listening to him.
He was great in U2.
@@Stingray-ly2om lol, I hate spell check!
@@joep1461 I was just ribbing you bro!
@@Stingray-ly2om it's cool, it was funny.
@@Stingray-ly2om😊
He has an interview saying he just lost a bunch of weight and that he wasn’t sick.
Super awesome to see Bobo giving a personal account… Well done video guys, great job!
Good for you BoBo, been a long time coming, after all of the knocks, whistles and howls you finally got to see one.
Bobo seems to be very unassuming and honest. Most of the “experts” have this aura about them that makes me doubt anything they say. Not Bobo tho. Would love to meet him. Also, his movements and gestures lead me to think he has a very level-headed approach. Very gentle in a way.
When I was a young girl growing up in the Midwest, my friend Evie and I went camping on the backside of her property that contained woods. Her brothers never let us tag along, so we decided to go ourselves. We went deep in the woods, ate canned beans and smores, and made camp. We fell asleep and then she woke me up and was scared shitless. As she told me about rocks hitting the tent, we heard a single pair of heavy footsteps walk up to the tent. All of a sudden there was the smell of something like a wet dog. We heard a low gutteral growl. It was unlike anything either of us had ever heard. The growl kind of made us nauseated. That thing destroyed our firepit and our gear. The weird thing is that it did not touch the food in the cooler. You could see the shadow of the massive body on the tent throught the reflection of the moonlight. We were terrified. We were 11-12 years old. It moved around our camp area for 15-20 minutes and we watched it walk upright the entire time. We stayed quiet in the tent until it was light. We opened the tent and saw everything destroyed and literally ran to the gravel road and back to her home like 2 miles down the road. Her dad had to go back with other neighbors to get everything. The hunting dog that her dad took alerted to something but was scared and ran back to him. He said the dog has never done that before. They tracked bears and other animals and it never was scared. I am older now, but I still remember the smell and the growl. None of the kids ever went camping in that area again.
I remember when Bobo was on Conan. He was telling his Bigfoot story but everyone laughed at him. Great video you guys should interview Cliff.
Yeah, and Conan himself looked uncomfortable.
Love this interview show. Bobo is going to be a hard act to follow!
Really cool episode. I want to smoke a joint with Bobo lol
I love how he talks like a surfer dude..! Keep on searchin Bobo, we love u..!
I respect James "Bobo" Fay. He is no nonsense & highly credible.
I always feel a bit concerned for Bobo when I watch more recent videos of him. He does not look well and even his voice is less powerful than it was. He lost so much weight in a relatively short time span, and I never personally feel that is a good thing. Of course it is much better to be slimmer and a healthy weight. But honestly he looked in better health before when he was a larger frame. Hope he is okay and will continue his quest to find some more evidence of our hairy cousin.
Dallas & Wayne, Bobo , Coonbo & Bear (until the disagreement). These gentlemen have related some interesting stories along with trainloads of personality. Glad to have been able to share in their adventures.
Awesome to have BOBO as a neighbor 👣🤙🏽
Off the hook only just watched it loved it great guy bobo .Great presentation
I love his dedication to this. You go ahead James! Screw the "skeptics".
Bobo I'm so glad you put this on and yes I'm a Bigfoot believer trust me I seen one when I was a child in Kentucky up on top of water tank hill we called it and it was either a female or a juvenile but it was all black on two legs hairy course us being kids didn't realize exactly what it was but until I got older and it's stuck in my head all this time and this was in Kentucky and also got a footprint and my mom seen an older Bigfoot before she passed and now I live in Florida and I think I seen one out looking through the trees on me when I was riding my bike and I hear things walking in a Inlet we got out back and no human would want to walk in that and it was on two legs you could tell well I can keep going on and on but I love watching you all on Finding Bigfoot and I wish you all come back with more TV shows I love watching you guys okay you have a good night later
Hi, in what part of Florida was?
@@AnaRodriguez-ic8uv New Smyrna Beach Florida
@Emily Hinkley what are you talking about no you don't believe well you weren't there to see it now was you and don't say no to something you don't know get my drift
Anyone up for a drinking game- everytime Bobo says homo or genus it's a shot🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
Finding bigfoot is my favorite junk food TV
Bobo the Legend!
Bobo looks amazing !
What a fascinating interview. I’ve always thought that Bobo’s knowledge was suppressed in Finding Bigfoot and that he was made to look a bit foolish, so it’s good when he talks on other platforms, he’s done a lot of credible research 😀👍🏻
(Btw, can’t stand finding Bigfoot, with that woman who is supposed to be impartial just rudely telling witnesses, “it was someone pranking you”, without backing that up with any evidence that it may be so, e.g. finding out locally if anyone would do that, finding where you could buy a ape costume, showing it to the witness and asking if it looked like that. And also the risks of pranking anyone like that; you might get shot at!)
Anyway, I love good research like Small Town Monsters 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
She wasn't "impartial." She was a skeptic. Skeptics always gaslight witnesses.
It’s amazing how some people have so many sighting
Good to see Bobo again!
Is Bobo alright? He looks sick. I hope not, he is such down to earth kind of dude. I definitely believe him on his stories. Keep it Squatchy dude 🤙
He has AIDS.
Hello Bobo and greetings from northern Alberta Canada 👍
Wow that was class guys, thank you 🙏 cheers bobo
Thanks Aleks and Bobo !
Bo Bo is the real deal sure wish I could get into the USA and go on an expedition with you.
I hope Bobo's ok. He looks so different.....the weight is 1 thing. His hair is gone as well and I know he loved his hair.....the locks. Hope he's all good. I like Bobo, he's a real one.
WOW Bobo looks Great!
Great stuff! Many thanks! :)
Absolutely can’t wait! Bobo rocks…so this is going to be awesome! Notification on! :-)
I am Cherokee. We did not get annihilated on the East Coast. we just got removed from our homelands on the East Coast. Enforced on reservations in Cherokee North Carolina, and Oklahoma, as well as Arkansas. I am indigenous, and we are still here.
He probably meant more like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, etc. where the settlers first landed and many tribes were essentially wiped out. There are still indigenous people there too but they represent only a few of the original people
Love bobo a lot he’s a legend
I love this stuff!!
I consider Bobo a genius! Much respect.
I love hearing Bobo talk about Squatchin' and all his ideas regarding Bigfoot. I too was struck by his weight loss and haircut. I will trust and continue to believe that he's just decided to live a healthier lifestyle and his looks are the result of that. Bobo, continue on your healthy path; I'm trying to watch my sugar intact - I mean when you think about it, sugar is in Everything and hard to stay away from. I'm trying not to add extra sugar to my diet and now when taking a sip of a soda, it actually gets me nauseous. Read labels folks.. Keep it up Bobo and continue with your Squatchin'!
Holy crap Bobo looks totally diffrent since last time ive seen him on Finding Bigfoot
Bobo’s so cool. Interesting guy!
Big Bobo and Cliff fan here!!!!
Thanks!
Yah! Moneymaker is a total joke! What a wash-up. Bobo is the best.
Thanks BoBo for your story’s
BROOKLYN NY, There He Goes, a living Legend

I've met and talked with Bobo, and Dave Shealy too. I believe they are honest ppl.
Love you Bobo
We all love Monkey. He always alerts you out in the field. Bob? Do you believe they are everywhere?? On finding Bigfoot I have seen them behind you guys. You don’t see them because your busy filming. I hope you know they have been around you guys more than you think! If you had it here on TH-cam I would send you screen shots!
Bobo you're a legend even here in New zealand
You know these ancient human like people are in New Zealand as well. I have heard of encounters from the dark forests of Northland to the coastal forests of the Waitakeres West Auckland. The Coromandle forests and Mt Moehau on the Peninsula. The Kaimanawas Bay of Plenty and the mysterious Te Ureweras where the Patu-paiarehe people live. The West coast South Island Haast pass and Mt Aspiring area to the Caitlin forests and the inhospitable Fiordland.
Hi from Uk 🇬🇧 Essex 🙏🥂
Despite all the footage and recordings and eye witness accounts I'm skeptical, I wanna believe but I gotta see it for myself. I frequently go to Ohio and walk around in the woods and national parks looking for tracks or something.
I love bobo! Miss seeing him! Love and light Bobo
a healthy looking bobo is a long lasting bobo
My first crush was for a Hoopa gal in 5th grade. She was so beautiful. That was in Gold Beach Oregon. I was inexperienced with the ways of love so, of course she fell for a more experienced 8th grader. Besides, her Dad was Vice Principal of the school (that in itself kinda sucked)...We had lived in Blue Lake California a couple of years earlier and my Dad was a logger on Hoopa lands. He told some stories about tall hairy men but I didn't really believe him until many years later when I was living in Coos Bay Oregon and saw one about a hundred yards away walking along a creek and looking for fish...Wish we had cell phones with cameras in those days...I have much respect for Bobo. He's the real deal...
Dang he dropped a bunch of weight. I hope he lost it the healthy way an it's not something medical. He's a great guy tho. I would love to meet him one day.
That was awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Bobo, Cliff and Matt were all in the field LONG before Finding Bigfoot people, these guys were legit and naturally when you are on a television show it must be entertaining or no one will watch, no ratings equals no commercial dollars equals no show.
So, I don't blame them, most everyone would have jumped at the chance to be on a television show. Still, Bobo and Cliff have a great dynamic. I wish that Bobo wasn't heading down the Woo paranormal highway, but at least Cliff is keeping his flesh and blood scientific sanity and the podcast is awesome!
Bobo seems like a genuinely likable fella and someone that would be a good friend, although one that you might have to keep bail money aside for when he was younger...he was known as a bar brawler from the tales I have heard and did not take any crap from anyone. Please stay away from the woooo Bobo!!! LOL.
I wonder how big bo bo became little bo bo? He has lost a lot of weight. Bo Bo what diet did you use or did you have your stomach stapled ? I'm trying to loose weight now and I hardly eat anything and I have had very little success. Please tell how you did it. By the way bro it's good to see you.
Hi Steve, it was hell!! At least at the beginning. I cut out all soda, fried foods, candy, pizza, bread, carbs, desserts, and sadly, beer. I'd have a cold pressed organic veggie juice, 2 eggs, and a slice of gluten free toast and celery sticks with hummus for breakfast. For lunch I'd have a huge green salad with beans and an avocado in it. For dinner I'd have some sort of veggie stir fry or vegan casserole. A couple of times a week I'd have fresh, caught that day, salmon or shrimp. It was really expensive to eat like that. I can't really afford to do it like that anymore but once you take it off and don't go back to the old bad habits. I also did at least 50 minutes of eliptical machine 5 days a week. You have to be 100% committed. I attended a few overeaters anonymous meetings and that seems to be the most sure fire way to succeed at it. If you can get thru the 1st 2-3 weeks without any sugar or carbs the addiction and compulsion to wolf it down starts to really lessen. I was up to 317 lbs but I've been hanging between 196-203lbs for the last 6 years. And i try to do 10,000 steps a day. Good luck bro!
Siempre he estado interesado en el críptico bug foot o pie grande es un enigma el críptido ojala se hayen más pruebas
What a great interview!
love Bobo, i don't care so much about BFbut i would watch Bobo talking about scrambling eggs or mopping a floor...
Hi mugy 🐾
This is the same dude on finding bigfoot???
I Love JAMES'S
AUTHENTIC NATURE!
**wow very cool **
Where are the pictures
Kerry from Bigfoot odyssey just passed away from an auto accident. RIP
Dude. You look AWESOME. I never thought you needed to lose weight, but damn. Just don't lose too much; some people become obsessed with it. GREAT video man.
9 mins bro come on I waited 2 weeks for 9 mins
Is his dog named “monkey “?
Yes, I remember that much from the series.
So are they saying they saw Bigfoot?
Did Rotch ever listen/draw anything that He interpreted from Your stories, Bobo ... ?
What I don’t understand is that all this activity he lost his camera a week ago 🤬 no excuse!
Woah, he's lost a ton of weight.
Daaamm lost a ton weight.
I see the blackflag Bigfoot print's.
Is Bobo sick?
Bobo is tha best!
I'd love to know what people think the squatch life expectancy is. People looking for patty, she would be a good 70 years old now.
So, how many 'encounters' did he have? Three? Four? None?
Sheesh take a break Bobo....
Finding Bigfoot = Not Finding Bigfoot
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
He sounds so much different these days. Also looks quite a bit different. He must’ve did something
Where's the rest of Bobo??? Hope your not I'll!!! Love ya brother!!!!
Sick I'll wouldn't type lol
Bigfoot's Bobo encounter.
Has Bobo had cancer or something?? Unrecognisable from his finding bigfoot days
I think he's just older now. I don't really follow him or anything but whenever I've seen him on something he's been like this for years. I think it's just a stark difference because he's lost weight, gotten older and ditched the long hair.
I didn't know it was Bobo, until he started talking. I hope his health is okay.
