LIFELISTING on the MOST POLLUTED RIVER in BRAZIL...!!! BR24-EP6

April 27th, 2024 (Fishing Session Number 22)
In this video, I Lifelist at the most polluted river in Brazil - the Tietê River. The lower Tietê River in Itapuí, São Paulo, is much less polluted than its section in Center City São Paulo; however, it is still far away from being a "pristine river." That being said, that portion of the River is still clean enough to sustain a certain range of species that are "hardy" enough to thrive in it.
This is Episode 6 of the 2024 Brazil Lifelisting Series. It is the last episode of this series. You can find the other episodes below:

Miss your content! Really hope you're doing well and living your best life!! you got me to start getting out of the house instead of being a depressed hermit and brought a lot of joy to my life. Thank you!!!

[@kevinroberts7363]

i always love his energy lol

[@MoonBrushToken]

For all of you who are wondering why Leo has been MIA, he posted his status on Facebook explaining what's going on. If you're religious, please pray for his recovery. If not, please send him your positive vibes for a quick and full recovery, as well as his "Shanghai hookset dad"' as well

[@bricehata9908]

Speedy recovery to you and your dad Leo! We miss you and will patiently waiting for your next vlog.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Probably your best Brazil video yet during this trip. Love the eartheater. 11:47 beautiful colors on this guy.

[@rawrfishing]

Sweet catches! that new fish is sure cool looking! thx for sharing leo. Happy holidays to you and your family

[@220swift7]

Fantastic video and a wonderful ending to a beautiful series!

[@WaltJr999]

first experience with your channel after seeing you in a meme on instagram and youve gained a forever subscriber my man. i love your energy and the quality of your content is insane, gotta love it. great stuff my man

[@--BiZ--]

Much Love Leo!! STOKED on your new LIFERS!!!!!! 9:58 😂🥳🥳🥳 10:22 - so sick!!!

[@SquatchMan123]

It’s too bad about the pollution,it truly is a beautiful place. Love your videos thanks for sharing.

[@joangeddes380]

Absolutely beautiful place great video nice fishing 👍🏻👋🏻😀🤗👌

[@monkeydmaverick]

Request: If any chances, may you visit the area of the Great Lakes someday? Maybe you can catch new lifers like pacific salmon (adult size), muskellunge and other things.

[@tyrekern3674]

Came to Illinois and fished lake Michigan tributaries. THE Round Goby showed him who's boss!

[@beastman2513]

@@tyrekern3674 friggin round goby. 😡 little bastards make bottom fishhing for bullhead and catfish a pain in the ass. They nibble the hell out of your bait and are too small to hook on a catfish rig.

[@chasecoquet6297]

i remmber years ago he made a video fishing for musky and was gona make it a series. would love to see him continue it!

[@jeffreylane3686]

The fish at the 10:15 mark reminds me of some of the fish you caught in Florida

[@tishakee5946]

That was FANTASTIC! 👍👍

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

Hey dude you okay?

[@zachurystrawcutter2283]

Wow that place is so picturesque

[@InitialDrifterZ]

Pacu are also sold in the aquarium trade. Tbh, it’s a very unethical practice. They grow waaaaay too big for the average hobbyist. Just about every tropical freshwater exhibit you go to in the USA will have rescued Pacu stocked there. They’re MASSIVE! Glad to come back and BINGE EPF!!! 🤟🤟 Love ya Leo!!

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

Amazing!

[@mcbassinfaas7285]

love geos and eartheaters got a tank full of em such a gorgeous fish that geo was stunning

[@adamthefallnone1817]

Keep up the fun bro!! Love your stuff!

[@MGk-Farmer]

Thanks for the amazing videos

[@soccerfiend03]

Pops taught you the ways of the Shaolin Hookset, I can see!

[@eckoman92]

Awesome series hermano!

[@johnaufderheide6117]

Very nice Leo. Congrats on the lifers!

[@janmichaeltorres4895]

I loke ot when you are honest how long it is in between bites. In the beginning i felt such a looser when i had to wait a looong time for 1 bite since it seems everyone on youtube is carching fish at every cast.

[@kevinsoto5299]

You should make a visit to PR and catch that bigmouth sleeper along with many other lifers!

[@gcrauwels941]

Cool. That Pacu looks like it may have had it's caudal fin nipped but it's brother with teeth. For years, there was a Pacu named Igor that had originally been in a tank at a restaurant in Boca Ratorn Florida, got too big, ended up with a friend that had a pet store, got too big to house, and then found a home in the Non Native Fish Laboratory there (that where the feasibility of introducing Peacock bass to SoFla was done). When that closed, he was moved to the Loxahatchee River Center in Jupiter. His face was deformed from his early days unfortunately but he was 26 lbs back when I used to go see him at the lab. Google him! edit: That Geophagus was pretty!

[@tigercow]

Beautiful geophagus, earth eater. Man they're are some awesome fish out there

[@kristinel6352]

Beautiful place!

[@urbansteelfishing6905]

Banger!!! You need to target red tail catfish next trip down. Or the aropaima

[@zevfeistory]

found your channel from outdoor boys, great video man!! i never see fishing video from Brazil, you are the first one!!!

[@Nategaming1234]

I caught a beautiful peacock bass on a huge crank bait today haha

[@felipesantosfishing3988]

Great video, once again! That radioactive ass looking gunk is very weird though. I still need the Geophagus sveni for my lifelist, I might have to explore the Tiete river a little more.

[@throwingbeatle]

Man you should’ve shipped me that Geophagus haha. That’s like a $80 aquarium fish. Great catch!

[@OldBrutus]

Great video dude, nice to see these cool new spots. Did you figure out what made your reel sound like a motorcycle trying to start?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Probably sand or some type of small fine dirt in the reel.

[@gregthomas2904]

We say the a in Geophagus just as it is said in the word way. Great aquarium fish, it is a sand sifter, and a slow grower.

[@thevoiceman6192]

Nice . The Pacu is an invasive species in Florida.

[@marcusmartin1583]

Awesome

[@mcbassinfaas7285]

love the pike cichlids lol

[@Parker307]

You should paint that Go pro white I'm thinking

[@tylertolbert2162]

Not sure you’re aware but your picture is on the Philadelphia inquirer website on the article about fishing spots in Philly !

[@23KCOutdoors]

Sweet eppy buddy

[@tomhollywood1967]

You can catch Pacu in South Florida lol

[@Mason-m1u]

In the aquarium trade a geo sveni that size costs about 30-40 dollars US

[@claudioas]

nice br videos

[@darb2771]

Hey i was wondering if you had ever caught any smallmouth bass or any fish with what is called melanosis? I caught a smallmouth today thatvwas half black and i did take a picture lol

[@Blackandyellowfishing]

Hey Leo, was the EPF rod a 1 time drop? Super sad that I missed it. Cant even find any available for resale anywhere :( I do see they have a similar spec rod on the website but would rather wait for another drop of the EPF version that supports you.

[@MrSergemelnikoff]

Pacu will bite hands. I've seen it happen. They also have another name...the "ball cutter".

[@zachtm4]

Give us more livestreams, Leo!

[@AidenFigorski]

What fish can I keep as a pet in pa? I saw that fish tank vid from 7 years ago and just wondering.

[@watermelonsandfleas1686]

Can you do a top 20 favorite lifers list?

[@huddy025]

Love the content Leo, can't wait for Monday's

[@beastman2513]

Don't pacu get huge?? Like 2ft long and almost as big top to bottom?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Yes. They get HUUUUUUUGE (in Trump's voice).

Epf returning to his homeland is such a good anime ending

[@dwendel8512]

Just a new chapter i think we are far from the ending of this one there is more lifelisters to catch

[@FRGGuideservice]

@@dwendel8512 the ending consists of 35 more yearly seasons 💯

[@retrospect6253]

Hey Leo, my name is Kaya and I’ve been watching your videos since 6th grade (6 years total). I hope you respond to my question which is: What set up would you recommend for Florida fishing from the docs like how you used to years ago. If you could recommend a medium-heavy and a light set up that would be great. Keep of the good catches #fishonnnnn

[@retrospect6253]

Does EPF comment? 😢

[@lukasznowakowski9950]

Isn’t the green gunk just algae?

[@extremephillyfishing]

I hope so. Lol...

The KZbin Monthly Membership program will never be cancelled in the future; though, the perks for it have changed starting this week. I will eventually make an announcement via the KZbin Community tab for member's only once I decide on how I want to proceed.

Deffo 100% geophagus just not sure which species

[@extremephillyfishing]

It was the Geophagus sveni indeed.

Bro this took you along time to edit huh 🤣🤣

[@SpecialFXvideomen]

Leo, I think it would be beneficial to your channel to show some local culture of the places you fish, travel vlog style.

[@PhillyJohnny]

Christ buy some reel oil with some of this KZbin money! That Penn sounds awful!

[@extremephillyfishing]

@@PhillyJohnny It started in Brazil. Since then, I have updated it to a PENN SLAMMER IV, 4500.

Not at all.
