GIANT CATFISH Catch & Cook!!! Bass Fishing in DESERT CANYON!
Спорт
In this van adventure Episode, we go Bass fishing in a desert canyon, then do a giant Catfish catch & cook right in camp! Fishing for catfish is a total blast and cooking catfish is absolutely delicious. This was the first Channel Catfish catch, clean, cook I've ever done and I can't wait to do another! Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more van travel or catfish fishing videos!

Been watching for the past 4 days or so. Guy is living a dream of mine. My wife would never let me explore like that.
Ive never seen any of your videos, and clicked because i saw "giant catfish." While the cat is respectable, I love the fact that you leave a camp site better than you find it. I wish more people did the same thing. Much love and respect.

I always watch your videos not only because I like fishing and cooking but rather because of the peace and tranquility that you transmit in your videos. Caring for nature and living from it is a gift that we take care of to continue enjoying our mother earth. Regards my friend.
Watching you fishing definitely helps to release stress from this crazy time . Can’t understand why people would left their trash behind like that. Love your dogs and channel. Thanks for sharing.
You are really a multitalented outdoorsman. Great fisherman, cook and film-maker and so nice to see your authentic respect for nature.
We are so blessed to live in the NW. I spend as much time as possible fushing the Umatilla and Columbia river for Salmon, Steelhead, Channel cats. I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by small lakes where I spend time trout fishing. I love this channel! Ive been fishing for over 20yrs and I STILL squeel and jump up and down when I land any fish! Keep posting! Love it!
The diversity of the fish, scenery + the easy going nature of Leif makes this the best fishing channel on KZread. No screaming or yelling or trying to sale merch... just a guy doing his thing.

Thank you for taking care of the area. My husband and I do the same thing. There's just something about leaving an area better than you found it makes your heart Happy.
I love you so much man! I love how excited you get and your giggle! You’re so awesome for picking up trash my parents taught me that to when we went camping I’ve always picked up trash teaching my son not to litter too. But your totally the Bob Ross of fishing. Thank you!
Ok who else just likes there way this man laughs 😂 but in all seriousness I love the channel!! He’s always so positive!!!
These videos are so relaxing. A ton of effort into each one and it doesn't go unnoticed! Thank you for the awesome content!
Best part about this video is the fact that you took the time to clean up this site after others.....If everyone did that, imagine how awesome and even better each camp site would be for the next. Love the fact you guys did that. Keep that up and you have inspired me to start doing the same.....
I had to pause the video because I did not want to wait to type how impressed I am that you are filling that bag full of trash. Thank you for your commitment to the outdoors.
Your laugh man - it’s infectious. Keep doing what you’re doing. It helps people.
Thank you so much for cleaning up the place and inspiring other people to do so too. It's so nice to see, that you're living your dream and even spread a good message. Also love the quality of the vids lately. The wait is really worth everytime! Grats to the PR!

Your videos bring the inspiration to do better every time. Much love and respect for respecting the nature when you out, so hopefully many people will learn from it as well.
just found your videos last night, definitely becoming one of my if not my favorite fishing channel. love how you always keep your site clean and even clean up what others left. my friends and i always say what a shame it is that people leave such a mess at fishing spots. also love how in touch with nature you are. keep it up man!
I've been watching you since July April of 2020, and you are only getting better with each episodes. I love your excitement and joy. You get excited even when catching the smallest fish in the pond. And of course, you are a inspiration to us all when we are out in the world fishing by cleaning up. Again, thank you. Fish On!

Mad respect for you man. Loved the fishing bits, but the clean up of all the trash in your area was above and beyond.
Quality over quantity always look forward to your vids the most even if it’s only once a month. Always worth the watch with a cold drink 🍺
Just came across your channel. You are a contagious person, love how much you seem to enjoy this. I am a new subscriber for sure
Thank you, for the video thank you for picking all the littler. I wish more people would clean up like that. We always try to leave it enter then we found it.
This is hands down one of the best fishing/lifestyle channels on youtube. From the fishing to the filming to personalities. Thoese tacos looked like they came out of a 5 star restaurant!!!!!!

Word of advice find someone who does fish a lot to go with you because if you don't have the right technique and skill level you're not going to catch anything and you're going to give up on it really fast
That canyon looks incredible plus it has fish in it 🔥 great video 👍
Thank you so much for picking up the trash we need more people like you in this world God bless🙏
It’s like a variety show: fishing, hiking/backpacking, camping, cooking, educational, and good vibes
I swear Leif has the coolest spots that scenery is mint.
“Multiple fish species around here: A lot of rattlesnakes” That singlehandedly made me subscribe
One year later I came back to this and this is where I saw the mini cleaver! I did get one. I love it. Great from chopping vegetables but you have mad skill to clean fish with it. I can’t do it! 😂 Cheers and thanks as always. Keep the positive attitude up.

That bug: Known as a “Child of the Earth” or “El Niño de la Tierra” in Spanish, this insect has also been called the Jerusalem cricket, and “the old bald man” (Who-tzi-Neh) by many American Indian tribes, and the “potato bug.” There are several myths about this insect. One myth is that the Jerusalem cricket is poisonous
