Just wanted to say thank you for producing your content. I started watching last spring after I broke my femur, and realized I wouldn't be able to get much backpacking or fly fishing in. Your positive outlook and beautiful shots kept my spirits up as I recovered. Your videos are much more true to what fishing is actually like for the average person, as opposed to professional guides posting highlight reels. Its full of great scenery and enjoyment for the act itself. I feel I can actually relate to your videos. Fast forward 9 months and the leg is almost fully recovered, and after watching your first Hawaii video I decided to book a trip to Kauai for some backpacking and fishing! Thank you again!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Man that means a lot to hear... And you're right about keeping fishing fun and simple. I've been on a few charters and while they're great and can get you on some amazing fish, nothing beats just going out and "figuring it out" yourself. Glad to hear that you're almost recovered! Enjoy that Kauai trip!! 🤙🎣 fish on baby!!

you will have a blast in Kauai, so pretty

You get a thumbs up and a serious A+ for the effort, improvisation, and enthusiasm on this catch and cook. Thank you for making the video so enjoyable and satisfying. I'm going to give needlefish a try!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

haha thanks man! Good luck on the needlefish hunt! 🎣

[@robthomas5488]

"Endeavor to persevere" camera schmamera, you make every adventure an awesome invitation to see the beauty of where your at, thank you again Leif. Take care. I had no idea such life existed in tidepools like that.

[@TheReel_Fisherman]

Just to make a comment on you talking about rouge waves last video. I got hit by a rogue wave when I was fishing in Santa Cruz. I was up on this rock and all the waves are crashing 10 to 15 feet below me and my dad pointed out in the ocean and he said what’s that and I looked in this wave was about a half a foot over the rock that I was standing on, I couldn’t get up any higher so I just braced myself and the wave rushed over my body and off the cliff about 35 to 40 feet into the ocean below. Never seen anything like that in my life 😳

[@richardsousa2625]

I was cliff jumping in Bermuda and a rogue wave came between these two cliffs blasted us and then as fast as it came in went out and almost sucked me out to sea

[@NWFishingSecrets]

That's a crazy experience! Good reminder to always watch out while we're having fun 🎣

[@TheReel_Fisherman]

@@NWFishingSecrets absolutely

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Ha ha 😂. Fish the North Sea twaler & Gill-nettig , with 32ft waves crashing onto the wheel house 😵.

[@MonicaLikestoFish]

❤ you’ve always been my favorite angler to watch since 2019! Your energy is so addicting and I’m glad you’ve gotten to expand your content. I miss your collaborations with your friends and your kayak videos. I hope we get to see more mountain trout fishing. ❤️ keep doing you! I’ll always be watching, cheering you on and learning from you everyday improving my bobber fishing ❤

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Your comment just made my morning :) I'll be out with the boys again soon and can't wait to get into some 🔥trout territory again! Keep up the bobber fishing ❤

[@bnfishin6855]

I'm late to the party, but, that cactus looking plant is aloe vera. Improvise, adapt, overcome. You applied that mantra with the video equipment. I can't tell you how much your videos bring such joy to my heart. Your happiness and exuberance is off the charts!

[@QuietTourist]

You're an awesome force for positivity and it really comes across in your videos, man. And now you've got a little experience on a scooter, I think it's time you invest in a quad or cross bike for the property! Keep being awesome, and if you're ever back in Europe I'll show you some good spots in Greece.

[@davidturner6682]

You always have a positive spirit in your video God bless you and your family

Going to try to get back into watching your videos. You were the original KZbinr who inspired me to get back out and Chase my dreams with a rod and reel I'm a disabled veteran I live in Colorado I was hoping that one day I'd be able to meet you but all I get are fake messages prizes etc so not going to worry about it any longer just going to say wish you the best brother and one day if I ever see you I'll say hi but I got plenty of fish to slay I'm 600+ for 2022. It mean the world to me to have more videos from you but the rate that they're coming at now I just can't keep looking for you so like I said hope to see you out in the brush.

Not the first, but I'm definitely enjoying this, great job with the videos, I'm freaking loving it

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

This brings me back to my land. Where I come from we an amazing abundance of different types of grouper, snapper, two great seasons of yellow fin, black fins are also abundant, many species of shellfish, all the mackerels in the Caribbean, wahoo, swordfish and marlins, etc etc etc. Yet I’ve never heard of the term “trash fish” back home. Jacks are actually a staple food, sardines and barracudas are just as loved as expensive fish. I love seeing an American angler making videos like these and not using the term “trash fish” on the title (so many others have used that dumb strategy)but rather just name the fish followed by catch and cook! Hell yeah, brother! You know what’s up!

[@WAFishQuest]

I've snorkeled around those guys... Would have never thought to eat em! Glad it wasn't too needle-y... Looked very tasty!

We actually get a lot of the Needlefish here in Denmark. In the summertime when we go fishing for seatrout, the needlefish come close to the shore during the warm parts of the day, and they take all the prey for the seatrout. Therefore, it is actually an irritating fish to catch. But very interesting to see them in Hawaii. Nice video

[@caroleharms3313]

[@mathiasheller4165]

The needle fish come to Denmark in early may and its absolute bonkers to catch along the coast. Super easy as they are in the thousands and much bigger than that one. If you ever get the chance to catch Them again, and in larmer size. Try to smoke them or grill with lemon and various spices. Tip to catching them is super small treble hooks or silkstrings. Their teeth gets tangled and it does not harm the fish. ;)
