I love how your first reaction to a fish is always "It's huge!" Or "It's a giant!" 😂 Even when it turns out to be about 6". Have to admire the constant over the top enthusiasm! From a neighbour from the state to the south and a fellow TH-camr now, thank you for the inspiration, knowledge and entertainment you give with each video, Leif!
@ALBERT WANG I know predominantly of some good fall run rivers here in Oregon, but as for Springers, I have yet to dip my toes into it. I know usually between late March and late April, there is quality Springer action throughout the Willamette river in and around Willamette Falls, down through where the Mollala River empties into it, and up through where the Tualatin & Clackamas rivers empty into it, making the lower parts of those rivers hot spots to go for Springers as well. Last I heard, there was still fairly hot springer action from Kelly Point down through the Sauvie Island area last week. That is a little late for a typical year, but it's got a lot of people excited and happy.
You have helped motivate me to get out and fish, to appreciate the small things while being in such these tranquil areas I choose that are so relaxing, and in the first time in over 10 years I hooked a nice Bass (released). PTSD has been a battle but getting out fishing has really been helping me tremendously.
I can relate with the ptsd and i also recieved a traumatic brain injury that drastically changed my life...fishing and being on the water is the best therapy
The Pacific Northwest is an epic place! Great video Leif! Course I didn't expect anything less! The snow in the mountains is melting fast brotha!😃🌲🐟🔥 A subscriber and fellow TH-camr from north of Seattle. Stay safe out there home-slice... popcorn 🍿 sounds good about now while I watch 😃
What up NW trout streams?? I am going to subscribe to you. I grew up in Arlington. I am mostly a bass fisherman. I dream of becoming a fishing youtuber too someday. Would be saweet to fish for a living.
@@WitkowskisFishingSickness Jordan! Thanks for your support brother!🙌🏼💯 I greatly appreciate it... very much.. 👊🏼 Arlington is an awesome place! Good food there... it’s amazing how fast that area is growing!
@@WitkowskisFishingSickness never give up on your dreams! You set your mind to something, you can achieve anything!💯 keep grinding on that outdoor adventure life buddy
Woah! Lived how you included the pulling into dock for the night. We never get to see this detail. Lotta people with boats, wrongly suppose we don't need to see this stuff but, it is very welcome. A day in the life of a boat owner/fisher 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Leon Del Mar- lion of the sea - lingcod. Friend caught a big lingcod and 10 rockfish and put them in the same gunny sack. Later couldn’t find one of the rockfish. Found it when cleaning the lingcod - ate it while in sack. Vicious fish.
The flounder here are mostly sand dab and the size of what he used to catch the lingcod. If you want big flatfish, catch halibut. That's open now BTW, NWFS. You should make a trip out to the strait or Sekiu and catch one.
I couldn’t be more thankful to have found your channel. Since I have my wife and I have been taking all the tips we can and hitting the lakes!! Great entertainment 👌🏻
One of the most real and just positive channels on TH-cam. I hope you come to Rhode Island one day to fish!! Free Kaffee and our place is open to ya! Prost!!
I love your videos Leif. When I had my Arima Sea Legend I had some epic salmon and lingcod trips. I supplied the bait, the rods and the PDFs for the kids and the adults to wear at all times while on the water and everyone always went home safe and with a share of the fish whether they caught any or not. I agree with you, eating it fresh is the best way to enjoy it but I never tried cooking fresh caught fish on my boat. If I buy another boat I will definitely do the NW Fishing Secrets' catch and cook on the boat.Thanks for sharing your great adventures.
Brother- Seeing you upload a new video is like Christmas morning. I love your new boat and every bit of your content. Thank you Sir for sharing your amazing life with us.
At first you annoyed me. After watching about 3 or so videos after that bro…. I’m addicted. Love your genuine energy. I just moved to west Wa and haven’t fished for over 25 years. You’re giving me the courage to go and try again. I’m just unsure of all the different laws . I’m really out of the loop. But anyway… I love your vids. Would love to spend a couple hours taking in your knowledge and energy. Cheers.
Sweet video man! 2 things I noticed if you care lol... but your drag might have been too tight, I use 25 mono and have never had a fish break me off and then also make sure you bleed your fish and get all the blood out :) great video man
Fished the San Juans opening weekend and had an 18 fish day. Amazing day on the water. Only one slot fish keeper at 32". That 36 was a monster! Awesome fish and video.
Flounder is delicious and second man I really miss having coffee it hurts my stomach now now I have to wait a whole year before I can have coffee again but that’s besides the point keep up the great work you rule !!!!!!
Another Giant! It's been a minute since I've caught one of your videos.... For some reason I haven't received any Notifications.... My brother just got a new to him boat and wants to go out for some of those... Keep Doing what you do! Love It! Fish On 👊
I love fishing, but rarely take part in eating what we catch. However, EVERY video you post my mouth is watering just imagining what all this fresh fish taste like! Loved this vid
First video I have seen of yours where you actually had something other than fish taco, your grilled cheese made me hungry, My wife and I love your videos, you always make us jealous with the amazing scenery and your great catches. Tight lines!!
My son just moved to Bremerton Washington. I look forward to visiting and fishing up there. Love watching your videos, learning a lot about your area from them.
So cool meeting you on the water and watching you reel in this beast in person! What a frickin fish!
Were you guys on Bainbridge?
@@lucasolimeno324 nope
shoulda told em about drag
So cool
Why don’t you go land fishing
Your laugh is so contagious; Always brightens your viewers' days. Keep up the great work brother.
Couldn’t help myself on this trip 😂 👌🏻 thank you for enjoying
can confirm, day brighter
For real man
Yeeeeessss
Sir, I don't agree with your opinion...I find that he is laughing like a stupid person...
Can’t have a NWFS video without at least a few onion shavings 😂
I wholeheartedly agree!😂
So earthy 🤤 🧅
@@NWFishingSecrets 😂 I love it! I was just waiting for that earthy undertone to surface. 🧅💯🙌🏼
there was no danish seasalt this time right?
Onions is a MUSR

There’s no better way to end the day then a NW Fishing video and Mav within the same hour
Watching Mav myself here in a min 😎

Stay blessed my dude!
Thank you my friend! Enjoy 🤙🏻 🎣
Your channel SCREAMS Oregonian. Thanks for respecting the mand along the way.

😂 👀
ABSOLUTELY!!
Next up on NWFS... Catching a ling cod on a banana!
Awesome video Leif, congrats on an epic ling! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I love how you care more about the fish’s health over catching it. That’s how we should all feel
4:00 soo adorable like a little kid catching his first fish😂😂❤ love the excitement brother
I love the deep sea fishing episodes 🎣
I’ll definitely do some more 🔥 🎣 🤙🏻 thanks for enjoying!
4:24 I love hearing the excitement in his voice, so cute!
I wanna spend a weekend with this man. His energy is amazing.

Ahahah yah right!!😂😂
Gets a whole ass boat for the channel, continues to cuts fish with a 3" knife 😂
Solid catch, cook, and camp episode.
I loved the muffled “oh shit...OH SHIT!!!”
His excitement gives me life. His name is perfect!
I love how he got so excited over that flounder, I’ve never even seen them that small.
His excitement when he catches fish in general is awesome. It’s like his first catch every time 😂
The moment you no longer get excited about your catch, it’s time to stop fishing 🤙🏻 😎
Right? Flounder here on the gulf are comparatively huge. The minimum length to keep is 15 inches.
I know I wish I could get that excited over anything. LOL.
The flounder here are mostly sand dab and the size of what he used to catch the lingcod. If you want big flatfish, catch halibut. That's open now BTW, NWFS. You should make a trip out to the strait or Sekiu and catch one.
I personally feel like you have revitalized the fishing spirit in a lot of us. Keep doing what you do and fish on.
I really appreciate hearing that man. Easy to forget how exciting life can be sometimes....
FISH ON BABY💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Fish on babyyy!! 🎣
I love how you're like "got one 👍🏻" after almost getting pulling into the water at 21:40. Awesome episode!!
I wrote about this guy in my essay for class. Nwfs is such a big inspiration to follow my dreams🙂😊😊 I will !!
That's awesome man! Follow your dreams and work hard for them no matter what 🤙
@@NWFishingSecrets No doubt! I second that!
Lol “we just out here to see what nature throws at us “ that’s what it gave us Tonight fun an thrills thanks for the adventures

OCEAN FISHING IS YOUR BEST VIDEOS MAN!!!!
Yo you should hook-up with a "Fishermans Life" he loves catching Lingcods all day
I think he’s planning a trip up here to WA or he just did.
You should do a comment section collab with your neighbor.. Sounds dumb right? Just enjoy the videos he puts out
@@evanfuller3755 yeah he's coming up here in a week to go to Westport or sothing

Man, your positivity is infectious. Brightens my day up, thank you!
Nothing like a NW Fishing Secrets video early in the morning!
@26:08 that backdrop is insane. Love the PNW!
Been watching your videos for awhile now, didn't realize how local you were until this video! You were fishing in my front yard!
