Can I Catch Every Fish in the Desert? (22 Species)

Can I Catch Every Fish in the Desert? (22 Species)
Today I attempted to catch all 22 species of fish that I've caught here in the valley before. I am specifically fishing the Phoenix area, and only it's urban scenes. Enjoy!

JOIN MY DISCORD!!! discord.gg/kTF2ZZVZu8 BEFORE COMMENTING THAT THIS IS NOT A DESERT READ BELOW: A desert is defined by an area that receives less than 10 inches of rain water every year. On average Phoenix gets 8 inches of rain each year. By definition Phoenix is a desert even though it is populated and considered a city. Thank you guys so much for the support on this video!!! One thing I’d like to note. Since uploading I’ve learned that common carp, mirror carp, and ghost carp are all technically the same species. They all share the scientific name Cyprinus carpio and have identical DNA. Think of the others as a shiny Pokémon version of the common carp. The redbreast tilapia I caught is actually a redbelly tilapia also. I’m still relatively new to fishing having started only 7 months ago in April so I still have a lot to learn!

[@UmbraSly]

living his best life, catching fish. nice man. keep it up.

[@FishingWithPorter]

Thanks man! I appreciate it 🙏

Great idea for a video. Good to see someone with some fresh ideas for fishing content. Love seeing you show off how diverse even a dessert fishery can be.

Random youtube popup. Nice job. Lived in the East Valley for 10 years. AZ has some decent fishing but man it's tough. Especially those urban lakes. Unless you have a boat to go out to the big lakes its rough even then. Grew up in PA and now back, talk about different fishing techniques.

Nice man! I was watching this while my two older daughters were eating breakfast. They got sucked into it and kept watching with me! Well done! Solid editing work and making a longer video a page turner!

Nice work. I am a fly fisherman from NY and lived in Phoenix for 10 years but never fished there. A striper in Phoenix??? That's crazy. They put up a good fight but nothing like a trout (I also spin reel around the NYC waters). Tigh lines my friend.

[@FishingWithPorter]

Hey! That’s awesome and thanks for watching! Yessir striped bass can be found through various canals mostly in Scottsdale but they’re not very common and usually don’t get big at all.

@FishingWithPorter, Awesome video. This shows me that Arizona fishing is underrated and I'm an avid fisherman who's fished in about half of the states and several countries. If I ever visit Arizona, I definitely want to fish there.

[@FishingWithPorter]

I’m so happy to hear that! Hit me up if you’re ever down here I can show you around

Great video man just found you on my FYP and this will not be the last time I will watch ur channel

[@FishingWithPorter]

Heck yeah I appreciate it man!!! I actually just had another video drop about 15 minutes ago. A more chill video but content is content!

[@differentfins]

This is my kind of video! Awesome stuff! I found your channel through Sean (Angling Spiders). I have done a few species challenges myself. We dont have the same diversity up north in Canada but still fun. I havent caught most of the fish you did in this vid! Cheers!

[@FishingWithPorter]

Heck yeah thanks for checking the channel out! Very different worlds for sure most of the stuff I caught here only survives in warm water and we rarely get below 40 degrees Fahrenheit here (although we get up to 120). Thanks for watching!

[@bushboi]

Oh damn i didnt know there are red breasts in the US besides bets at all. Theyre super fun to target and they should be almost everywhere here in the northern part of south africa but they've been poached, killed by polution or all wiped out by bass and carp. Great video though, great qauilty and it was really entertaining

[@FishingWithPorter]

Oh man that’s crazy. They’re very rare in Arizona but this particular pond is loaded with them. Thanks for watching!

Really cool video, man. I am glad that the KZbin algorithm showed it to me. I have fished about half of your spots and they are all awesome spots for the species you were catching there. A lot of them hold way bigger ones like you were saying in your video. You spent a lot of time on the road in this challenge too. lol

What an amazing video man! Im new to the area and i would love to go fishing with you sometime! I fished alot in oregon but Im having trouble finding the right spots here, ive tried a few canals but no luck yet.

[@FishingWithPorter]

I’m booked out for a bit but I can definitely say the canals slow down this time of the year. Try hitting some local ponds if you can cuz that’s where the best bite will be! If you do hit the canals try dams and spillways for best success and smaller baits this time of year.

[@codeanski]

Hey Porter. We moved here from Denver 6 months ago and broke foot at beginning of fly fishing season so have been hitting the pond behind my house instead (your #2). Was going to put up pics, but can't here. Was going to say you might want to come back. Since I knew nothing of what lived in this pond I think I skunked out the first 7 times I fished it. Now, sport fish most days and when I'm up for it, cats. I've been pulling 7-10 lbs cats of here pretty much every day. Everyone should learn to fish and stoked you're loving it so far. I don't really want our area to get packed with people, but you seem like a solid guy so I was going to let you know there's much, much bigger fish here. (I use a size 2 octopus hook (safer for fish) with a snell knot on it). The bigger the hook, the bigger the fish. Keep posting and good luck!

[@FishingWithPorter]

thank you! I appreciate the info. I haven’t fished there in a while but I know people have been having success there lately! Thank you for watching 🙌
