[@memmener]

Trans-America road trip!

[@adaptgaming8501]

Baja

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I think you should go to Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, in Canada, or to Saskatchewan and Manitoba, in Canada. You would have great fishing adventures on Vancouver Island. Saskatchewan and Manitoba have many freshwater lakes, and I think you would have some great fishing adventures there too. Cheers! ✌️

[@bubbamyers8344]

Here's a suggestion: You guys should take the van down to Cabo San Lucas so you can say that you've taken the van along the entire west coast of North America! (excluding mainland Mexico). It would also be cool if you spent time in some of the towns along the way to Cabo. I'm sure you're aware, but Baja (especially the Sea of Cortez) has some of the best fishing in the world with a crazy amount of different species ranging in various shapes and sizes. I think that would be an amazing series on the channel with lots of cooking and fishing along the way. Plenty of new catch and cooks too!

[@elroc1]

Yeah, Baja is amazing. Lots of little towns that would be fun to travel through and tons of coastline. Beautiful drive down the 1D

[@EastBayCA]

Since you're taking suggestions, I'll go big: Visit every national park. Do collaborations with small businesses in the area like you did in Alaska. Maybe some youtube fisherman/outdoorsman collabs? Work your way across country and back. On the flip side, it's been cool watching your adventures evolve from local foraging and fishing to kayaking and now interstate adventures. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

National Park series would be sooo good!

[@desertfairychickres4021]

The National Parks series is a great idea but Please invest in a Personal Locator Beacon per Dave Paulides. MANY folks go up and missing in National Parks worldwide.

[@MM-gg3rg]

@@desertfairychickres4021 yes! We had an experienced fire fighter/hiker disappear from the Big Sur coast (central Cali) David Paulides did an episode on his missing 411! Made the local paper. He was camping with a friend and his dog. The dog heard a noise, ran into the forest. The fire fighter went after him. The dog made it back to the camp, the fire fighter was never seen again!!!!

Yall should come to Florida in the cooler months. Lots of good fishing . The sheepshead are already moving in. mangrove snapper are starting to move in too.

If your lucky enough you can cast a line on land and catch you an Iguana also 😂😂😂😂

[@chapter4travels]

I really like the low tide foraging episodes. Maybe some smoking/canning of different fish, salmon, mackerel, sardines, squid etc.

[@samsodien1]

Loved the intro! My 11 year old niece is such a picky eater but in the last year she's had sushi, salmon and just tried a LOT of things she wouldn't normally try. And she'll say, it's like Taku. So, well done!! 💯😎

[@davescheer5038]

Well the van is tested And you’ve probably figured out the routine by now , you said for fans to tell you your next adventure, but I think that you should do what you enjoy , after all this is your dream escape to doing what you like , we’re just along for the ride , and we enjoy watching whatever you two do , 👍🏼

[@treatsnaturalpetmarketplac3999]

Hello Taku, Would LOVE to host you and Jocelyn at our simple little beach cottage in Popoyo, Nicaragua. No joke! This is an invitation. Been along for the ride with you for a while. We have lots of good fishing, surfing, and good fun.

[@david-iam]

Go south. Bay of LA is just a magical place that’s perfect for a camping van. So many fish from the beach. And rent a panga and have them take you to the island with the lagoon with clams for the picking. So delicious!

[@tonymoua1058]

Give us a backstory on how you two met and how this whole KZbin adventure started.

[@MrBern91]

Maybe not quite yet at this moment... But how about going to Europe for fishing and cooking adventures? :) Oh and also... Those cliffs looks lethal! O.O

[@MrLarryalvarado]

Check out the south. Louisiana and Florida. Especially the gulf coast. Lots of good fishing in the fall. Redfish!

[@gearlist]

Lots of awesome ideas in the comments, excited for what's next!

[@jeffb4612]

I made pickled red onions a while back and put them on fish tacos.

[@nces1111]

Take it on down the west coast to mexico. Awesome fishing in baja!

[@willy_beamin12]

Hope you never stop making these videos it's my decompress for the week. Always enjoy watching. A mahi mahi sushi video would be awesome

[@danielryan007]

You should do a trip down baja california. Awesome fishing, great little local fishing towns (especially Bahia de los Angeles) and the route is beautiful. Not only that, it's safe too.

[@39jaker]

My dad use to fish the bay of Los Angeles, he'd used 10 lbs. Yellowtail as bait to catch big ass grouper. Lots great small fishing villages on both Pacific coast side and the sea of Cortez side as well.Baja is one of a kind.

[@spincitynyc809]

Texas and Florida has great fishing in the Gulf!!!

[@MM-gg3rg]

Taku, I grew up in So Cal. In the summer we went camping/fishing all up and down Baja California! Some of my best memories....the views and the seafood quality is fantastic!

[@MrBurlyboxing]

Your videos are refreshing and so enjoyable to watch with all the garbage going on around the world. More people should fish and get outdoors. We live on a beautiful earth.

[@the6ixgardener321]

East Coast of Canada, PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland... sooo much fishing, agriculture, culture💯

[@jbren1234]

The Upper Peninsula Michigan! I live in southern MI but going to the “UP” was something my family and I did my whole life

[@waassup]

I love your videos. The things you do are entertaining. The tutorials on how-tos are very easy to follow and very useful in everyday cooking. I wish you the best.

[@thasco]

Absolutely love you two. Awesome to see fellow Bay Area folks making it happen.

[@finnthehuman7662]

Aye man, My wife and I really enjoy your videos and loved your Alaska trip. Keep it up Jocelyn and Taku. Also like how responsible you two are as well for trying to make sure jocelyn’s fish made it back into the water.

[@wrangyswreef1404]

Absolutely loved the Alaska series and the collab with Leif! Would love to see some more seafood, crabbing and maybe some deep-sea fishing though!! That would be super cool as your food prep on those sorts of videos is always sublime!!!

[@chmellen]

I love Baja , Mexico. Anywhere you go will be fun.

[@jamesscott1932]

You two are gifted. Thank you for working hard to make these videos. Consider Lake Havasu and Western Arizona for a trip this winter.

Hello you two glad the trip went well I’m sure it was very exciting and the van ran well through out entire trip👍 hey suggestion how about fishing down in Baja Mexico some outstanding fishing and excellent food there just something to consider can’t wait to see you both on the next adventure wherever you both decide to go be well stay safe peace ✌️

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Baja is definitely high on the list!

[@DailyCTO]

@@OutdoorChefLife Hit me up when you get here. I haven't fished since I got to Baja, but my wife and I can definitely show you some good eats.

[@VeronicaRyanVideos]

@@OutdoorChefLife If you do Baja, I highly recommend Bahia de los Angeles. If you go soon, you might be able to see/swim with whale sharks. We went last year (did a couple videos on it) and it was such a great time. The trip in was beautiful, the town & locals are awesome, and the food can't be beat. Plenty of yellowtail to go around down there since there's no commercial fishing allowed.

[@Solrax6]

You have to visit yellowstone area. So beautiful tons of good fishing and camping spots and lots of spots to explore.

[@rogergommert528]

Jocelyn and Taco, you have a wonderful channel, I look forward to your videos and also learn a little too.

[@israelrivas134]

After rough days at work and not being able to kayak or fish or enjoy a great hike, you're videos are just what I need to watch after

[@celyl]

Have you been to New Brunswick The Bay of Fundy? The tide varies 20 meters twice a day. Lobster, clams and oysters are popular here. Plus the cost of homes are 1/10th of west coast, maybe less. The St Croix river with St Stephen and St Andrew to the north and Maine to the south, where saltwater meets fresh water. Lot's foraging and fishing.

[@loam6740]

Awesome seeing you visit washington as well! Love to see you fish anywhere

[@moscowdrugmule3923]

Definitely swing by the East Coast! Specifically, the New England area. Lots of great fishing, lobstering, clamming, you name it!

[@chironchangnoi]

You two are living your best life and sharing it with us is amazing! Thank you so much.

[@david-iam]

Bay of LA is a magical place to fish. And clamming at the island lagoons.

[@forest1tech]

Go to the Adirondack mountains in New York. Lots of fishing. And a great trip along the way.

[@hobinrood710]

East to 97. South to Crater Lake. Stay on 97 southbound until the 5 in Weed, CA. Do Shasta. South on 5 to 299 and head west to Arcata. Fish the many rivers in that area, camping, redwoods, more mushrooms. And then east to Tahoe, Utah, Colorado after a stop back home in the Bay area. Your welcome.

[@39jaker]

You should go to Baja drive down to Cabo fishing and cooking along the way. Check out the sea of Cortez. That would be bad ass trip. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you for putting out your fire. As a newly retire wildland firefighter I have noticed most people using the outdoors don’t understand how important extinguishing a campfire is. You have a wonderful platform to help teach campfire safety. I can put you in contact with a wonderful person who has a teachers heart and is also a bad ass firemen. Plan a trip to the Stanislaus National Forest, would love to put you in contact with her😉.

[@christopherjones3614]

Honestly for Fall Fishing Ontario, CANADA 🇨🇦 is truly amazing. The Pickeral (Walleye) and Muskie (Musky) are going to be biting well from now through October and there are a lot of trophies caught every year here. Two exceptional “Hot Spots” that produce every season for me are The Bay Of Quinte (which is located on Lake Ontario) - excellent Walleye fishing here with fish typically 8 to 12 Lbs. Also The Ottawa River has great musky fishing with most fish averaging over 25 Lbs and some much larger. A boat is a must and there’s lots of guided charter fishing if you want to go that route. I’ve fished both for many, many years now and guarantee you’d have an awesome time and get some great video content. Take care and stay safe!!!

Colorado! The front range is full of beautiful spots that would be prefect for the van. Brother, I’ll show you all the spots to explore!

[@timothysheetz1235]

My vote is for New England in the fall! I live in the white mountain national forest in new hampshire and the leaves are amazing right now! Jumbo native brook trout, monster smallmouth bass and straight toad yellow perch are biting everything that swims past cause they know the big freeze up is coming. We have an amazing partridge, or Roughed Grouse population and they are so tasty! Actually have beautiful white meat breasts that when wrapped with bacon and stuffed with apples and onion are second to none when it comes to wild birds. I think you two and all your followers would enjoy seeing you and all the sights up here in the great north east kingdom!! Almost forgot to mention the wild mushroom selection is pretty great too!

[@KoobyYin]

I definitely recommend a trip through out BC and Alberta, the fishing is great, the lakes are super pretty along the border, and there's a lot of sightseeing to be done, including really awesome glaciers. I don't have the finances to be a guide or anything and my fishing skills are -100, but I know for a fact you won't regret it.

[@chrissd08]

Come up to MN. Good lake and creek fishing walleye, bass and sun fish. There is also trout up here you could fish for too. White bass are also good fishing and eating. A lot of good scenery in the duluth area. It would be nice to see what you and Jocelyn can do in my state! Come towards the early summer seasons or if you want to try ice fishing come towards the early winter seasons.

Just started back up fishing since I was younger and when I can have a day off I try and go fishing. Anyway Tako and Jocelyn, I enjoy watching your channel and it has given me some energy to try and accomplish goals of owning my own restaurant and then creating a travel vehicle like yours and travel as mush as I can and be sustainable with the Earth's bounty.
