August 20th, 2017 -- My outing number 103 was kind of a disaster, hah. Initially, I was supposed to go to the Schuylkill River to re-film my video for the KastKing Perigee II rods, since the previous footage of it was corrupted! D:
However, upon arrival, I realized that I forgot my reels at home!!! UGH! I guess the lack of sleep is really getting to me....Lol. So, in the end, I had to adapt to the situation. Since I had my leader line and some tackle for rigs, I decided to do a Handlining 101 video for you folks!
I hope you guys enjoy this improvised fishing session to be quite productive.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

OMG Leo first it was dapping so no bait and now no pole. Soon it will be you just will the fish to jump into your hands. Just messing!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Hah...we have certainly progressed a lot here on the Channel recently, eh, Joseph Evotil? :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@tommyle831]

Im just waiting for him to do dapping with his hands.

[@shanelegendre6314]

I have gone fishing with just my hands and cought fish.

[@teddyshapiro4030]

I love your videos so much because unlike all the other anglers on KZbin that use thousands of dollars worth of fishing gear u use equipment that average people would be able to afford. Great video man keep up the good work! 👌

[@RealisticFishing]

Really great explanation and example of how its done. 👍

[@eddie8306]

Leo you're the man. I watch your videos all the time. I do a lot of fishing myself but it's always nice to see someone with equaled passion for this sport.

[@cnix8941]

Leo your positivity is so contagious man but that's why your one of my favorite anglers! When I watch your videos I can't help but feel happy and instantly have an urge to fish!

[@LinhHLe]

he not angler

[@gracebyseven]

Loved this video, thank you. Takes me back to my days growing up in Panama when we used to do hand lining out in the deep ocean catching mostly red snapper. Good times!

[@junelopez9520]

OMG, I am tears thinking about my Dad teaching me this technics as a kid in Puerto Rico. Respect BRO

[@gallero954]

Man this brought back memories of me fishing with my dad. He never uses a rod or reel, just handlining. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@andymetternich7453]

This and the Tenkara video are my favorites. I love fishing this way so I don't get tired watching them

[@scottnelson7309]

Great Video Leo! Loved the way you did the preview made me chuckle. tight lines.

[@winstonbower1236]

You have to be the most pleasant and admirable fishing youtuber. You keep it real.

[@_____5489]

You're my favorite person to watch on KZbin! Thanks for the awesome content

[@thematchfisherman6912]

Thanks Leo for your inspiration and you have shown me what fishing is all about.thanks!

[@That0Homeless0Guy]

From my experience once you get eels you gotta move your line. They group on a bait spots over time. When I'm targeting them I chum up the bank with ham and then wait for the first eel. Then within a few minutes I have 3+ on the same spot.

[@FiDeSwifty]

Love your vids Leo. Before I started watching I only caught bass but now I'm over 10 species. I realized it's really fun. Keep it up

[@foothillscrafted1056]

I've handlined through the ice several times but never on open water. Neat idea for a video. Keep 'em coming!

[@thomasleebrown3136]

I enjoyed your show and actually learned some things; thank You .

[@gibsonfishing4040]

I remember doing this when I was a kid b/c my family couldn't afford a fishing pole for me I would catch bass on hand lining I would cut my hands a lot but it was worth it

[@dylandejong-dougherty7366]

So close to 100,000 Congrats!!

[@owen-ng8oe]

You are the smartest and kindest youtuber I know

[@paulwhite7449]

Even the fish doesn't want to go back to that river. xD

[@SGOODFISHING]

Almost at 100K leo! You've been growing like crazy! Long time fan👊👌

[@rainzer0]

Almost 100k subs. Early congrats

[@scottKELBYn]

real talk Leo. i don't know why you're not the most subscribed fishing channel on KZbin. you caught fish with no hook, with tenkara, with a freaking beef tripe and now by hand. i wonder what's next. keep up the good job and as always, we'll be waiting for your next vid!

[@brendan4574]

Great vid man. Keep up the great work 👌🏻👍🏻

[@vijaymooloo8279]

So close to 100,000 subs. I remember you were around 10,000 when I first subscribed.

[@hochkuus7257]

very interesting video! much love from Indiana!

[@fiveforfishing2366]

Very nice video and a great creative video. You're almost at 100k subs! Keep up the great work! 👊

[@vZorroh]

I love when you do the impersonations of the fish! "Free night crawler!" 😂😂😂

[@jaydenlifts21]

His accent makes the video 20x better lol. Nice vid Leo

[@eho0720]

New sub for you and I am loving what I am seeing. I also live in Philly and it is great to see places I know and new ones I don't to go fishing. Keep up the good work

[@caydencameron8228]

Great video Leo!

[@owensfishin1414]

great video man I love your channel. keep up the great vids man. : ]

[@lookin2kayakandbike664]

One eye pirate... hahaha. Eel master! You had another good day Leo.

[@grippinglipsfishing5671]

3:50 cast like a savage! lol Leo is so awesome

[@LuvDW]

One of the most best fishing challenges I seen so far..

[@BagrePinto]

this is how i got started on fishing, as a kid a friend of mine introduced me to handlining and some times i would make my own hooks out of sewing needles GOOD TIMES!

[@jonprendergast8532]

What's up Leo!!! Liked before watching!!

[@andymetternich7453]

I learned from Jamaicans an even better way to throw the line. Hold it on your side, swing it back until you feel the weight of your bait or sinker and whip it forward. It is faster and goes out farther if you need it to. I used to do it like you too(lots of people do, like Cubans).

[@israeldixon5179]

Leo your so close to 100k!! Congrats my man

[@danielr7644]

hmmm eels get u gurls

[@extremephillyfishing]

Tru dat, DReis 7. They all want photos of Eels! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@larrymixer144]

Great video Leo. I haven't had a chance to hit the river where I live here in S.E. Iowa because of flooding. I have gotten in some bow fishing where they are up in fields where it is shallow and away from the heavy current. Like to get as many carp as I can early on while the water is cool and the fish haven't got that fatty flesh along the back that makes them taste bad. If I catch any in the summer I always trim that away to help get rid of some the river taste. I usually do a lot of fishing this time of year at pre spawn for catfish. I use a bobber and cut bait and float it along the rip rap rocks along the river. When the bobber stops or starts moving up stream you got one. We catfish with hand lines tied to tree saplings along the bank. We tie a piece of clothing on them and then watch for when the cloth isn't sticking up have caught some big cats doing that. My biggest was 37.4# about four years ago. Hope you have all the luck with the fishing Leo. Larry

[@wayfaringmonk6847]

I've handlined for huge blue cats and freshwater drum. It's always really exciting fishing this way.

[@andymetternich7453]

I love fishing like that because when I was small, it was either that or the bamboo cane pole. That's all I had. Often fished for smaller fish with 6lbs test handline and a small float/strike indicator made from a duck or other bird feather. Fished like you too, lol

[@skubadoobie]

Your the man Leo great vidieos!!

[@jimbienkowski7857]

In the early 90's we used to charter a boat called the Gay Lady out of Cape May. For trolling bluefish he ran 2 outriggers, 2 rods on the side, and 2 hand lines with planer boards off the stern. Pulling in 10-15 pounders with heavy gloves was a serious battle and shoulders workout.

[@antgfisher8874]

Awesome!! Liking that subtitle lol

[@lukeslemmer]

Leoooooo I'm loving the vids keep it up man

[@newtwitchclipper]

caught my pb lmb today !! 3.25 ez, not bad for an Indiana bass. public park pond and only my 3rd time bassing- on a 4" pink Senko ❤

[@robertevans8024]

Next time I fish there, I'll be on the lookout for a one eyed catfish. It would be really funny if I caught it again. I wonder how much weight it would gain between your catching it and down the road. You should have told the girl taking the picture of the eel to wait for it to smile. Haha. When I'm waiting for your next video I watch the older ones, over and over again. Thanks so much for sharing these moments with us.

[@michaellinebaugh9640]

Almost at 100k!!!

[@reneerasmussen5351]

[@connergdaniel]

[@dinoharrison5138]

Pretty neat Leo. Next time, even without handlinning, if you use a rod I would like to see you use an eel for bait. Sounds interesting! Tight Lines Dude

[@mragatetv]

[@enzosta_]

[@vanessaguadalupe3635]

[@felipevelazquez1706]

99k leo congrats dude! i just caught my first sailor's grunt two days ago

[@deneshbaboolal6932]

very informative video Leo, I do handlining as well but at the beach. Do you have any tips for handlining at the beach?

[@lukeslemmer]

Leooooooo I love the vids keep it man

[@FZZY-np7ih]

I CANT WAIT TILL NXT YRS VISIT FROM DAD... NOTHING IS BETTER DEN LEO AND DAD

[@Njh-os1ju]

Leo you almost have 1,000,000 subs!

[@kirklandoutdoors1884]

Njh 2015 he's a good ways from 1 mill dude

[@Sesshourmaru123]

You've inspired me to try hand lining. What knot did you use to tie off to the pole? You said 3 knots, but what kind?

[@kel_bandz8462]

If you go to Bristol borough there is a wharf down there with a pier and some dock but you can't fishin the docks but you can fish on the pier and there's catfish perch eels and in the fall the bigger catfish and decent stripers are there you should give it a shot some time

[@YogisancrMiguel]

Yeah reminded me my fishing childhood in Costa Rica...

[@jaredkassouf1017]

Almost at the big 100!!!

[@moonroach4839]

Almost 100k son!!!! What up KZbin

[@fearnofish8242]

Leo can you do an MTB saltwater unboxing and use it in freshwater please

[@coletootle7273]

You are my favorite multi-species fishing youtuber

[@gwuapjit3772]

99k congrats lets get him to 100k

[@MrBeatcreep]

In Germany the eel is an delicious meal and it is forbidden to use it by bait (cause the french catch the most of them out of the atlantic Ocean on there way to us) i could not catch just one eel the whole season 2017☹️ btw great video again

[@crazyps123]

Very imformative video tried hand line fishing one time when my rod broke and i didnt wanna go home but my set up was all wrong so i was losing fish left and right

[@beastman2513]

crazyps123 , its not as easy as it looks. Setting the hook is way different than with a pole. 😀

[@shereedwarennereedrana8349]

Leo, will you come down and fish the Salem canal with me please? Bring your parent's! 😃

[@joebella86ify]

Leo....when you coming down to South Texas for some fresh/salt water fishing??? We got some monster gar down here brother

[@lvl8hacker]

Leo...love your work. Can you give me info? Is Mike ok? I know you guys are friends and haven't seen him around. Hope all is well.

[@ryannlarge1486]

Leo, is it possible to do more hand line videos? I'm going to try it around my area once it warms up.

[@extremephillyfishing]

I appreciate the suggestion. I will take it into consideration. Thanks for sharing.

[@LuisRamos-op6gk]

leo should be at a million subscribers for this.

[@africancichlids3011]

nice video leo . you look a lot like your dad . have a good one . tight lines

[@andrewb4519]

I HAD to add this story.....A couple years ago I lived in this apartment complex; this guy lived there who was from the country of Barain(sp?0. I knew a good fishing spot and he had never been bass fishing. Soooooooo, he shows up with a ball of flour and water and just a hand line. I was using my purple lizard and cleaning up. I told him to try one and put it on for him. I told him to throw it next to this bug rock........BOOM!!! BIG HUGE BASS!!!! He starts screaming. I swear I saw smoke coming from his fingers. I ran over, grabbed the line, and quickly wrapped it around my hand. I pulled it in and he was freaked! I laughed my ass off and said, "I told you".........I heard him telling the story at the pool the next weekend........True story!

[@fishingman8766]

Interesting Man, there are l lot of fish in this river.

[@ascitiesburn672]

I live for your "HEEEEEYYYY WHATTTTSSSS UP YOUUUUUTUUUUBBBEEE" intros.

[@paulmc9314]

your entertaining dude

[@randymarsh6527]

I get nervous for him at times, there is always that one guy lurking and creeping in the background quietly. I find myself speaking loudly to the video, "you better leave Leo alone!" Lol

[@scottgrizzle5879]

I just got that same scale and gripper ,dose the scale seem pretty dependable and accurate.

[@203photography6]

Will Leo like and comment on this...love your vids
