This is *one hawt video* I am dropping today! And thankfully, I was able to upload it on time (11:40 p.m., EST). Hah. The two-day upload schedule continues, so see you all on the 26th! P.s. keep on grinding and slaying out there!

[@ShowtimeXXX]

Cool video! Lots of action!

[@gabrielmorales5064]

I fished the Delaware river and the action was also hot

[@gabrielmorales5064]

@Dan Frick he is

[@Slattsfamily]

Every two days is an intense grind for you!! But I sure do appreciate it, love the videos!

[@swordkingmaster003]

Leo, try using a cast net my AISAN friend

[@milesb5431]

Who else love epf's dope content

[@zachno7923]

Eel: eats shrimp Leo:YEEEEETTT

[@fejic]

Extreme Philly fishing finally doing some actual Philly fishing again

[@rickypick9712]

Love it when EPF posts a new video. Makes my whole day better.

[@dillonfishing]

Watched this video while completing my boating safety certificate, therefore I didn’t skip any ads. You’re welcome for the 4 cents!

[@PolishMattski]

This is the first of your videos that I have ever seen. Absolutely hilarious and perfectly informative. You got yourself another subscriber right here. Thanks for your efforts dude!

[@nathantravis5659]

Nightcrawlers can and will catch everything. Always felt they were the best bait for numbers of fish no matter the size until I started fishing with gulp minnows. I have out fished Nightcrawlers with gulp minnows before. Definately a go to

[@bersz321]

Heeey, whats up Leo! Perfect time for me to watch before going to bed.

[@JPfigspokemon]

You should do a review of senko skipper super salty squid

[@beastman2513]

All i ever catch with shrimp is bullhead. Worms are a much more versatile bait. Either worms or corn.

[@casualjesoterik9192]

HEY WHATSSSS UPP LEO! Just wanted to say that I really appreciate how sweet you are to fans that find you while filming.

[@ivanvoznenko7874]

I'm gaining a serious appreciation for eels lately. Here is a fish that is perfectly evolved for extreme migration throughout its very long lifespan. It can go through any obstacle - uniquely shaped like a snake for a reason!

[@dilyjr]

Man your videos always help brighten up my day

[@denisedill3552]

Your videos are always entertaining and informative!! I love EPF channel

[@nopenah5681]

I'm glad i discovered this channel the intro takes some getting used to but the positivity that epf gives off is infectious. Also the appreciation for each fish even eels is awesome

[@Mr38thstreet]

Good to see those eels Leo, The very similar European eel is not doing well at all these days. . Thanks for the catch and release!

[@kebkat]

right in my neighborhood Leo!... I got an alert on Facebook you were near, but had other plans, otherwise I would have come to say hello... I'm off for the summer, and will definitely be using shrimp and night crawlers, following your lead. As always, thanks for setting the bar...

[@DragonAlchemist0]

Honestly if caught the eel you should of reset the eel as bait. Good for striped bass.

[@theoglil_li]

When he says "Hey! Whats up KZbin! That just makes my day. Leo, can you do more saltwater videos?

[@mybestlifeoutdoors7077]

I always have to reply with "What's up Leo!!!" Anyone else? Lol

[@deadprankerandgamer9722]

He says what’s up youtuu

[@mikeoconnell4229]

Leo, we all know how finicky fishing can be. This schuylkill river test would have been interesting if you baited night crawlers along side the shrimp. Great stuff regardless👍

[@matthewlynch7066]

Lol. My work is in the background. Im one of the carpenters renovating chestnut st apartments

[@juliovalencia6594]

Hey man I am a big fan nice catch 🎣🎣

[@BenFishing23]

How did you learn the scientific names? Did you go to college? Do you have a day job? I enjoy your enthusiasm and every time I see a new video it puts a smile on my face.

[@ThoughtIwasFishin]

Shrimp! That's what I needed. I was out same morning at Black Rock on Schuylkill using crawlers, cut bait and chicken livers. Didn't even get a bite while ur killin em down the City on shrimp. Great video. I enjoy watching local guys!

[@friendlyfishingguy9556]

I agree with shrimp being universal. They work both freshwater and saltwater and everything in between. Also ice fishing.

[@jimrichter4382]

Leo, use burlap or a Scotchbrite pad to hold eels. Burlap is cheaper and works just as well. Love your exuberance and good cheer. Yours is the best fishing channel.

[@michaelcooper8139]

Hey what's up Leo! Can you give us an update on the shao lin hook set Master aka Papa E.P.F.

[@Slattsfamily]

Never caught an eel, and honestly.....glad I have not 😂😂😂 great video, always look forward to your fishing, thanks!!

[@captainmorgan1107]

Great video! I used to catch a shitload of those eels in the Delaware river as a kid back in the 70's when I lived in Morrisville. I think it's funny that you are afraid to touch them. I never fished in the river without some towels for just that reason.

[@AnglingWithAlex]

Best thing about shrimp is you can catch many species in fresh water as well as salt water with it. It's a worldwide bait as well - I could go fishing offshore all the way in Australia and catch fish on a shrimp. Best bait on the planet for sure.

[@904Fishing]

my man is using a $250 reel to catch catfish. I'm envious, Great content as always Leo!

[@peterasberg9761]

Nice vid Leo. Mind the eels though, they can give quite a nasty bite!

[@walski55]

Red maggots are the top bait here in the UK Leo, they catch any freshwater fish that swims!!

[@anastasi2012]

You don't pet your catfish on the head? They love it! 😆

[@walk_wit_wolves2890]

My favorite fishing channel and my favorite host

[@jameswawrzaszek809]

Good stuff. I was just in Philly, should've busted out my two piece on the river.

[@alanlebrun3253]

i laughed at that eel toss. that thing got some hangtime lmao

[@jasong310]

That was my brother at the 7 min mark. Love the channel EPF👍 Tight lines!

[@freddysfishingfacts5856]

Nice! I may bring shrimp and bunker next time!

[@johnortmann3098]

I used to use chunks of buffalo tongue for channel cats in the Niobrara River in Nebraska. Kind of hard to come by for most folks, but I had plenty. I liked it because between the current and all the small fry it was impossible to keep anything softer on the hook. The buff tongue was like a piece of rubber tire. You could get your knife shaving sharp and it was still a struggle to cut up.

[@user-wo7rp6bc6t]

Do you practice the intro at home? Great video

[@norlin76]

Watched this video today, went out and bought some raw frozen shrimp and had loads of fun (only had 90min to fish though). 6lb6oz catfish from my lake (2.5 pounder as well, a yellow perch, and various sunfish).

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Nice river cat action Leo!

[@Mister69Jimbo]

Love the video with your parents. Lost my dad to a stroke, head up. Saying prayers for you guys and I am sure your dad will be good for a while, love the vids bro. Keep up the good work. Peace,

[@senlilbambam1468]

Love your vids keep up the work

[@staley9745]

Those dang eels are thriving in that pollution 🤣

[@billcotton1551]

Always take cocktail sauce with you in case they are not biting.

[@maces1405]

Man leo you have good timing! I went to take by nightly shower and boom new video! Thanks! 👍

[@tbh9759]

Has my favorite intro

[@crappieking757]

Those eels are some of the best catfish bait you can use!

[@CincinnatiWiLL]

Raw and pre-cooked Cocktail Shrimp is a great bait. Caught carp and flathead on it last weekend. its $5-10 per bag for medium sized shrimp but seems like Raw Shrimp works a bit better than the cooked stuff. Spam is another great catfish or carp bait and its oily so it makes the fish finding the bait much easier. its a bit harder to keep on hook(just like hotdog) but its a very good bait to use specially if you are after Channel Cat.

[@billcotton1551]

Those are some pretty channel cats Leo!

[@justinvillalva7782]

Maybe one of these times fishing this river you can do a side by side bait challenge with bluegills as bait vs nightcrawlers vs shrimp? I'd like to see what come up.

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

Normally we'd use raw shrimp. It's kind of expensive nowadays so we hardly ever buy any.

[@keenansegenchuk7177]

My dad caught a 5lb or so American eel over a decade ago in Penobscot Maine, my grandfather immediately cut the line cause he hates handling eels

[@OwnTheMotionTCG]

Another great video Leo! Keep up the great/dedicated work. Very helpful and entertaining

[@chrisgiambrone7467]

I use shrimp all the time for cats. They go for it everywhere I've tried.

[@413xxx86]

Finally caught up with editing and videos!!! Great job my man. Im going to try for musky, northern or whatever wants to bite. Tight lines bud. 🤓

[@jameswhitbread1988]

Dude I'm looking for your video when I come and fished with you :) I was a English guy who met u at he train station!

[@bravohuey]

After a morning of catching Whiting at the beach on shrimp, I sometimes drop by a pond on the way back and the bluegill LOVE em! One right after the other just as fast as you can cast. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the micros like shrimp as well. Only one way to find out, right?

[@sandcrab]

Hey Leo, If you are looking for a good portable fishing net I would recommend the bass pro gold series folding landing net. I have the 20 dollar one and it works perfect for all species. And it folded up nicely.

[@creekchub7723]

Hey Philly, me and my cousin were fishing and we saw like a 4 and a half foot eel and thought it might have been world record, sadly we couldn't catch it

[@Scribnastyman]

I like how you talk. Dont change man.

[@gregorypeck37]

Leo my Asian persuasion brother from another mother, please try using clam snouts they work on all sorts of fish. I have personally caught catfish, white perch, blue gill, yellow perch, rock fish aka hybrid bass, and sun fish on clam snout. Fishing in Maryland

[@Akren905]

Low tide high walls lol jump fish. Even using a smelt or minnow square net they flop out or they barbed fins get hooked up. No worries leo its ok man. Ive got a river here full of nice channels and an old non used shipping canal full of eels. We cant target them here but they show up mid day. Night its nothing but so sundown the anglers all march out lol

[@driesvc5151]

This is dope Fishing content! Keep it up👍🏻

[@craiglacaire3513]

I love you Brother! Thank you for sharing! Jesus bless you and yours!

[@keola7230]

I use to make a dough bait with tuna for catfish..i haven't tried in yrs though

[@BrownkingownzU]

Alright *EPF* you want a challenge and a multispeices bait, I know a few for you to try out. *Thumbs this up so he can see it* 1. Ivory Soap( Check local laws in some parts it's illegal to fish with it.) 2.Spam/potted meat.(you'll have to have a bait hold/retainer) 3. Marshmallows (small ones but the big ones work too.) 4.Mole Crickets( Maybe hard to find in your area, but a true multispeices bait) 5th and the best for multispeices Hickory smoked bacon! (The oil the bacon gives off might as well be a big eat me sign for fish)

[@swordkingmaster003]

Try using a cast net Leo

[@vinayakb5739]

Great vid as usual! Try marinating the shrimp in garlic and salt in the fridge. That seems to get me more bites from other fish as well.

[@marekmojzis3525]

man thanks for another great video :D i love when you catch those eels :D makes my day

[@burimduka]

Great video here. Keep it up. Quick question whats the best spot for blues and flounder near the AC cape may area?

[@nrgardner86]

I caught a 3.5 to 4 lb channel as this was uploaded! Tasty dinner for the wife! Caught a pair of 8” Wipers too!

[@tmap610]

Leo, a 40 lbs catfish was caught there a few days ago along Kelly drive.

[@mrwumbo]

I bought a cheap garbage ultralight setup from wal-mart to try it out (was like 18$ and it feels like 18$ too) and was wanting to buy a new one. Do you think the 500 reels are "too small" for ultralight? I've seen some people say to get 1000 over 500 because you get longer/smoother casts with less line curling due to memory and stuff etc... Some of the 1000 reels can handle like 200+ yards of 4lb test and that seems like a ton of extra line so I was looking at the 500's that hold between 100/150 yards. Thanks in advance.

[@FrankHale]

Seems like Shrimp is a solid choice!

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

Nice fish and everything loves shrimp

[@redstwok1123]

lots of fun, but didn't we do this exact video a couple of years ago at the exact same location?

[@alexgaudelli4294]

leo! I’m in philly rn, and I fished the schuk for flatheads and I stuck out two days in a row. any tips? I used trout heads one day, and bunker the next.

[@ivanvoznenko7874]

Try fishing for them in the end of summer and early fall. Works for the Delaware River in my area. Schuylkill may be the same?

[@austinsparrow8760]

Alex Gaudelli if you’re going for flatheads use live bait

[@ivanvoznenko7874]

Fresh sunfish cut in half generally work in the fall but yeah a live sunfish works too. Easiest bait to get too

[@shortandy6284]

eels are one of the tastiest fish on earth...here in europe they are a delicacy especially in germany and the netherlands...people pay an incredible amount of money per pound ...i am kinda jealous cause i tried to catch them this year and only got small ones...you should try to hot smoke them

[@billyelliott6263]

Awesome video dude,keep up the great vids!

[@johnbaker4847]

dang, they were keeping you busy... always a fun day like that... 😎

[@robertdiaz8250]

You have the best intro out of all the other fishing chanels lmao

[@stevenhowell4694]

Daaaamnn Leo! What happens if you hook a giant? I mean how would you land it?

[@ivanvershynin1025]

Bud Howell Somehow I just read this comment as I was wondering about the same thing

[@tytheguy0517]

I caught a little 1.5lb bullhead yesterday from the bottom of a water fall on a trout magnet! Took me by surprise

[@mrdjr6544]

Great session. Mussel works good for multi-species.

[@unyx2733]

I'm so happy when I watch your videos! :) Best youtuber.

[@XaViEr3520]

Should have used worms and shrimp side by side to really compare which one works best in that body of water!!!

[@zinedinezidane2305]

Here in my country, eel is a must eat fish here. Sooooo, yes everyone try to catch one and eat em. Maybe thats why eel is endangered ahahhah

[@TreasuresGalore]

Make this a series using items considered the "best" bait (like hotdogs) and find out what the best bait is

[@bravos4929]

This river reminds me of lady bird lake aka "town lake" for real austinites from austin texas so polluted and yet city says it is ok to eat the fish

[@kaimerkle3985]

Honestly I think crickets and/or grasshoppers are the best bait to use for multi species fishing. But that is just my opinion

[@mooneysoutdoors3612]

Hey leo im 13 on staten island ny what would be a good mid range saltwater surf caster for stripers bluefish and fluke let me know because i know nothing about saltwater fishing but i know quite a bit about fresh water

[@NickSavage29]

Mooney’s Outdoors I would suggest a 10 foot penn battalion , and a tsunami shield 6000 . The setup costs about 200$. Thats a good mid range setup I’d suggest! Good luck!

[@mooneysoutdoors3612]

Puresavage29 thanks man that sounds good

[@s.t.5915]

6:23 YEEET

[@wes.the.cook2483]

In Maryland the American eel is open year around when using spears or baited traps and August 1-January 31 they have to be 9 inches I guess Maryland hates eels cuz there’s nothing in the regulation book about endangered eels

[@hobo7070]

Fun video. You should have used worms on one rod and shrimp on the other to get a good comparison.

[@kayastypes]

Hey Leo. Love your videos bro! You should try and use chicken liver. See what you can catch. Good luck and I am waiting for another carp video.

[@sherrynewman4908]

You should do some drum fishing on folly beach, sc
