The mights Susquehanna! I’m a senior in college at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove PA. It’s about a mile walk from campus to the Susquehanna River. The one thing I regret not doing in my 4 years here is not fishing more, especially since I’m an ecology major and want to go into fisheries biology/ecology after college. Lots of people fish for smallmouth around here. Need to bring my rods back up during spring break.

[@williamspillman8720]

I’m always amazed that you can feel a fish that small bit your bait! Awesome video again Leo!

[@extremephillyfishing]

It is the sensitivity of the EPF ultra-light rod. Heh. Man... I can feel the SLIGHEST TAP on the rod, even when it is windy out there.

[@TheFlattyDaddies]

Great to see you on the Susky catching micros! I know you usually do solo trips, and so do I, but if you ever want to chase those lifers on a boat in the Susky, Skuke or Potomac let me know. Been watching you forever and you never disappoint!

[@Sonicx360isback]

I haven't caught a fallfish below that dam since 2014; I used to catch them on Rebel Crawfish!

[@SuperPete276]

Lets go PA, and hello from Lancaster area. Good job, keep them reeling :)

[@RYANandMICHELLEchannel]

Nice Chickens!

[@chasecoquet6297]

glad u gave it ur best effort up north, effort is all that counts!!!! 🤣

[@fishbasslover]

That is how extreme EPF do science! In order to properly identify a fish, we will go as far as killing it to do a formal autopsy to show you guys!

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

You are a true sailor!

[@kirby2465]

We need more HARDCORE LEO FISHING!!!!

[@billcotton1551]

Leo, I needed this Summer video! I went to look at my local river, and it is up at least 10 feet, and is the color of chocolate milk.

[@billrae4198]

Cool thing is, you can probably fit your trophy room in a shoe box! lol

[@spideymcgee4718]

Never realized how different chickens can look 😂

[@sjhudon386]

I believe I crossed the Truckee river many times on I-80 heading up towards the Donner Pass into California. Leo, I know you love public transport but having a car or camper could give you even more freedom to hit some of those more remote locations.

[@thundarpheeshy]

American Coot Chicken... I was wondering what those were. I like em.

[@oscarzapata7327]

Another awesome video

[@jessesherlock1204]

I’ll definitely be visiting the kraz outdoors booth in Harrisburg!

[@extremephillyfishing]

I will be there on the 10th - a Saturday, at the Kraz booth. Only for a day.

[@joshblack4291]

Cool! This is my home river. I no longer live there, but, it's cool to see you fishing there!

[@financeandfish]

I need more content from uuuuuu

[@math19074]

I'll see them at the Philly show! Thanks for the heads up Leo.

[@extremephillyfishing]

I will be there on Saturday, I believe. The 17th.

[@DonQuixote69]

EPF sent me some stickers like a year or two ago just for beinga subscriber... I didn't forget..l love these videos! Thank you sir...and no gugans or chickens.

[@JustinCarver-vs5fh]

It’s hard core just trying not to get shot in Harrisburg, and heaven knows what you’re gonna catch out of the river. Fish, body, some sort of sickness.

[@devinc6366]

Lol I got shot at right at a quarry there like a year ago

[@disco0752]

Good to see you keeping us updated on micro fishing or the more common term bait fishing. So glad to learn from you the real names and rarities. I always called them minnows. Much more interesting to know the species and biological information.

[@DogBreathDAK]

great to watch while playing palworld :)

[@johnc6228]

Im trying to get over to around Oaks, Pennsylvania, to the trail along the Schuylkill River.

[@beastman2513]

I get a chub while fishing every now and then. Usually when i see a hottie swimming. 😊

[@extremephillyfishing]

I got a lot of chubs with Liz this week in New Orleans. I know what you are talking about.

[@beastman2513]

@@extremephillyfishing 🤣

[@Boon-ie1rq]

It's not ultra finesse until you attempt to cast that size 30 hooks weightless. 😅

[@johnc6228]

Have the wind at your back? Now I' m wanting to try it.

[@johnaufderheide6117]

I get my Tango hooks caught in a lot of things when just using one with a sinker. Can't imagine trying two in tandem and weightless 🙄

[@christophersmith5485]

You need to do another round valley video 👌

[@jkrofchick90]

The fishing here in Florida has been really tough and my friends from around the country are agreeing with me. Our weather has been 86 with a low of 65 one night and the next day we don’t even get to 60 degrees and sub freezing temperatures at night with 15-20 degree windchills. Then the next day it’s in the high 80s again. Mother Nature is confused and that is confusing the fish as well. Best of luck on your future trips my brother.

[@General_Junkie]

Fishing on my home river!! The mighty Susquehanna!! To be honest you don't know what you're going to catch out of this highly muddy, murky and in many areas highly polluted river!! No lie you actually stand a good chance of catching those three eyed fish from the Simpsons when you wet a line in this river!!

[@momandsontrainrailfans]

HELLO 😊

[@johnaufderheide6117]

I misread the title and thought how you could get a good microfishing session in the Susquehanna with the weather this winter. Even from last year I still enjoyed the video! I especially liked that you went through the meristics that you used to id the fish. I haven't yet used a high/low tanago rig yet but do count a lot of dorsal and anal fin rays as well as lateral line scales. So maybe I would consider myself as "Hard Core" but not EPF HC😉 because I would have passed with the high water🙄. Did you ever catch the rosyface shiner? I don't recall when you were in MO whether you caught the carmine shiner which is closely related to the rosyface.

[@letsgetreel1300]

Hey Leo

[@Fishin4ReelTV]

Im near Philly, can I come fishing with you 😭🙏🏾

[@brianshea8911]

Check out deer creek in Maryland for roseyface shiner

[@ExtremeHarrisburgFishing]

Hey Leo just wanted to let you know there is a homeless encampment right behind the dam so that’s a big reason why it’s so dirty and filthy down there

[@extremephillyfishing]

Ohhh, I see... Now it kinda makes sense. Lol. Not all homeless folks are neat and stuff. Sigh.

[@TimOhTee]

Bro sounds drunk and looks shy 😂

[@steev4952]

Hi

[@robertdimatteo5029]

Leo, why have I never seen you fish The Perkiomen?

[@pudson66]

Is that shirt you have on at the beginning one of a kind or is it something that might show up in your merch store someday? :)

[@extremephillyfishing]

We will see... Some people can misunderstand the meaning of the shirt. LOL. That's why I haven't turned it into merch [yet].

[@justinpatterson220]

Hey Leo do you know the exact number of species of fish there are in the world or is it hard to tell because there could be undiscovered ones and many hybrids of fish

[@extremephillyfishing]

The estimate is that there are about 32000 different species of fish in our planet thus far. And every month, more species get discovered or split up... so, the number has been increasing at a good pace.

[@johnaufderheide6117]

I have a love hate relationship with the splitting of species. I hate when I get close to catching all of the recognized species within a genus and they go and split out a couple more species just when I needed two more to complete the genus😢. That happened with the recent split with Lepomis megalotis. Now I have to fish some new waters to get those new species. I do love when I gain a new species for the life list after a split like the recent split for bowfin. I had caught both species before the split😊. Still it's all fun😁

[@kennutter2589]

What is a good resource for identifying all these micro fish? Everything I see is just "game fish." Also, do you have any madtom/micro catfish videos?

[@justinpatterson220]

You went on a chicken watching trip instead of a fishing trip
