REAL LIFE MAGIKARP?! Sight Fishing for KOI! (Delaware County, PA)

[@extremephillyfishing]

What did you guys think?! Beautiful fish, no? And I bet you all didn't think that you would actually learn something about Carp genotypes & phenotypes tonight, right? Hah.

[@willryder9525]

Extreme Philly Fishing hi

[@matthewsites1031]

Love carp fishing. No koi in my area. That would be sweet to catch different colors

[@denisedill3552]

I loved this video , it's pretty cool because I have an ornamental Koi pond and the be beautiful fellow that you landed would have cost me a hundred dollars if I were to go buy one like it 😄 I always enjoy your videos, looking forward to seeing the next one!

[@atlanticcountyfishing9790]

Awesome video!!!

[@snakeeyes9246]

If I were you, I'd use 14lb fluorocarbon that's stealthy for these fish. Nice catch either way!

[@rafabonati7757]

You are right about that koi you caught. Absolutely beautiful fish. The colors were outstanding. And the huge scales made it look like the fish was wearing armor. It is certainly fun to learn about a species of fish, figure out how to fish for it, target it, and then catch it. I do it all the time and all the effort pays off with a feeling of accomplishment. Plus it’s damn fun!

[@TheFishingNomad]

0:30 Tough to fish two months everyday, but someone has got to do it.

[@tobo7580]

As a European I can say, that it feels like many Americans really underestimate the Cyprinus carpio as "sport fish". they are fascinating creatures. Especially the crossover between genetic phenotypes is something very very, special and beautiful. And they fight REALLY REALLY good.

[@ryanwilson5936]

“4lb test!”.....”the log!”.....*snap*.....”awwww”..... The struggle is real my friend and I know about it all too well. That 4lb test really makes you have to re-think your game sometimes.

[@mragentkarp6062]

Welp I guess you caught me....

[@freddybigs10]

Magikarp used splash, it had no effect! You should have evolved it into a Gyarados.

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

omg!!!! this is right next door to eastern university!! i went to college there and graduated in 17!! so cool to see this place in a vid. i always knew there were Koi here. as soon as i get back out there again I'm going to go catch my own

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

but yes i did go through your videos to see if you had caught a Koi and if it happened to be here. what are the odds!!

[@theofishing4438]

Awesome video! That looked super fun

[@ronreelzfishing3748]

Sick looking fish! Love the vids man!

Good Morning! What an incredible place Congratulations, beautiful Fishing! God be with you! Hugs from Brazil👍🎣🐟😊

[@FrankWolfeUDL]

[@MrKying]

Catch em all fishing would take all those kois for his pond.

[@spainunderwater]

he is no longer a fishing youtuber, he is just a mediocre clickbait pond blogger

[@randomtube8226]

Thats why I un subbed him and stopped watching his videos

[@bigshirley3141]

Right

[@technicallycorrect838]

7:51 EFT doing a Christopher Walken impression: "Beautiful Koi, mirror style" :)

[@billcotton1551]

That was a spectacular Koi Leo! When geese get in my face while fishing ,I chant "The power of 1Rod commands You" ,It seems to work.

[@monkeyman4131]

Koy ! ? Are you kidding me ? I never thought I would see this in "the wild " so to speak. Real KOY, in a pond, wow. I know they sell for Big Bucks , too see em in a pond where people fish tho seems unreal. Where did they come from ? Are they making " little koy " ? He-he. This is very cool. Thank you Leo, Tom Daytona Beach, FL.

[@65FullMoon83]

That was a beautiful wild koi mirror carp!

[@tylorkirklin4636]

I used to fish a public pond that had a few koi someone released I caught a nice common and catfish but when I went for the koi it was smart and headed straight to the weeds and got off

[@acecuber9124]

Dude. Your vids are the best. Also. I love your intro sooooo much

[@krazyfish2590]

Wow that is an awesome catch Leo! Love the vids man

[@fishingcolorado]

You know you wanted that battle dudee😂haha fun fight though!

[@spideymcgee4718]

I said this on the video you posted here 4 years ago, you should see them now. They are huge!

[@cattledecapp]

Lets GO!!!!!! Love the videos Leo. Keep em coming!

[@henrybartels1758]

2 months every day... I'm not sure if it adds up 😂

[@fishseason101]

Very nice, beautiful carp bravo bravo👌💯👍👏

[@fishseason101]

I recently went carp fishing, my family loves it . We got 2 big carp at once... I posted the video on my channel

[@naveste8827]

Hey how's it going. Keep up the work bro I love the videos and your intros make me laugh. Your videos low key make my day when I can't get out and fish thanks man.

[@aaronblount3999]

That's an amazing Mirror!

[@bigshirley3141]

Love this guys channel he’s always motivated to fish

[@tylercahill7859]

Leo i have a question i have never caught a white sucker and i found one swimming in a little pool of water so i felt bad and tried to catch it to move it out of the little puddle. So i used a worm and a hook I literally just put the worm right under its face. I set the hook after a few seconds and caught him. So my question is that a catch for my life list i caught him/her in the mouth and everything but idk if the fish ate the hook but i set it in the mouth can i add the fish would you??? Great video

[@atlanticcountyfishing9790]

The carp was so majestic!!!! I went yesterday with corn and 6 and 8 lb liner; I guess that is why it didnt bite. I tried your bottom fishing with the weights and the two hooks and two nodes two. The carp was swimming around the area I chummed; (I saw her there ((her or him! Lol) the other day anyways...) Should I try bread or keep trying corn? What about the hotdog or carp already made balls they sell at stores? I saw you did basically casting with the corn and got one right away! Right? I thought they were kinda slow fish; but I guess they bite corn that is been casted... I guess also with 4lb liner it makes easy for the corn to be casted slowing without sinking. Thank you so much for the video!

[@angryeyezangling4266]

Still love this video. And i been going there for about of year, 2 weeks ago i started carp and koi fishing and got 2 one on each trip with 40 lb braid and regular carp gear.

[@strauqe7334]

The Koi you caught had deformed scales which are called batik scales those are seemingly rare and for some fishes that size and have large deformed scales it’s really a beautiful one and might be expensive

[@shawndryslewski7903]

what lake or pond is this in Delaware county i have been looking online for about 2 hours now trying to find it i live in the subs of Philadelphia and would love to visit this place

[@ThatQuicksandTaco]

Have u ever found it?😊

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

ive caught plenty of common carp but never the decorative koi before. Most places around here that have those dont allow folks to catch them lol. Still, that was one of the prettiest fish ive ever seen. incredible colors. awesome vid homie.

[@Do0msday]

Carp/koi are very interesting. My dad caught a 33 inch partial mirror last week...on a 5 inch Rapala. 3 others had took swipes at it and missed. I hope Leo continues the quest for the 40 pounder.

[@joejohns3424]

Did you ever use a A rod interchangeable tips in your videos. If so what was that Rod called

[@yato9565]

me: " MAGIKARP USE SPLASH" Koi Fish: *Intensely slams into the water (but did not survive) me: " oh well time to catch another magikarp"

[@Capt_Billy]

Way cool fish!!!!!

[@JawnWick215]

Where is this leo? I live in the Philly suburbs never caught a koi

[@chrisd4251]

Lots of carp are in Jersey

[@typus6471]

@@chrisd4251 this is deleware county not Jersey

[@ThatQuicksandTaco]

Did u ever find out?

[@OutdoorsmanPack]

Here B4 1MILLION

[@agooddaytofish2736]

You can make some serious side hustle selling those to pet shops. I’ve got a mostly unknown pond by me that has a big population of koi and goldfish. I got a calico one with a blue back that sold at the shop for $200. I also got one while out on Lake Michigan, 16lbs, it has a spot at the Milwaukee zoo, donated.

[@rufufuwho]

it has been quite some time didn't saw you fish for kois, how time flies....

[@mattring2995]

i appreciate your hard work

[@tomeguna]

nice video ...sick action ...wicked fish man im so jelly

[@singletrackjunkie3603]

Nice Koi! Looked like it had some mirror dna too. My local club water has a couple of koi in it and my pb is 12lb. Was watching three fish in there the other day but im not too sure if they were koi or Orfe (Leuciscus idus). Im gonna try and bank one to find out. Have you ever caught an Orfe (Leuciscus idus)?

[@VapidToast]

I use 10 lbs lead on my 5wt 9" fly rod to catch common carp all the time. Maybe the fish behave differently in different areas? I'm in Colorado and the carp here are pretty mellow. I've waded next to them and tossed fake corn right on them plenty of times and they just don't care lol I even bring my kids sometimes and they play in the water and the carp don't care. Great video Leo!

[@mikefarnkopf9813]

Beautiful fish!! I've tried fishing for carp with light line, but i lose too many. Great job!! You know me, i extra liked this vid!!👍tight lines bro!

[@robertrodriguez7341]

Awsome fishing

[@Unknownuser-116]

Bro I caught my first one 2 days ago it was white and it had yellow spots and pink on its tail it hard to catch them bro good catch tho bro I hook on to and orange one and your right bro they are smart after they get caught try to going after one at first when they come up to get it then after it saw my bread and just left

[@jerryg7391]

The biggest carp I ever caught was a grass carp that was 50 pounds. I caught it on a oatmeal ball with a big rod and reel with 50 pounds of test line.

[@johnfights4manyresonsjohnf851]

I only carp fish I live in nj. Nice catch I never caught a wild koi I would love 2.

[@christianbarats8814]

It's definitely easy when you can see the fish lol

[@southkoreamountaincountryl1839]

Fisherman philly wants to battle! Philly sent out feebas Youngster lanky sent out rattata Feebas used tackle! Rattata used growl Attack fell Feebas used tackle! Rattata fainted Lanky has blacked out

[@Zoro16288]

I send you the package buddy, it should arrived last friday and hope you can catch a fish on every single one of them lol

[@F4LSpecies]

So if I have already caught a common carp for my life list and I catch a koi do I count the koi as a new species?

[@cocokitty212]

Fish 4 Life actually, yes, he made a mistake in the video, he was referring to koi carp which are a hybrid of koi and common carp, ornamental koi are a mutation of carp, but not common carp, if you catch a pure koi, it is a Amur carp, if you catch a koi carp (fatter than normal koi) it is a common carp

[@cocokitty212]

All of these in this video were koi carp, koi are more skinny compare to the ones in pet stores

[@Fishingchanneltv]

beautiful koi

[@joshwestfall8750]

Now that’s fun ul fishing💯👍😝

[@FishingPleasures]

It would be very cool to catch one of these! Beautiful fish. Man they wore you out on that 4lb test.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Amazing looking Carp. Looks like it had orange slices instead of scales.

[@travismorrison2567]

Thats an invasive species right? So you got rid of them?

[@kennyhooker3665]

You literally watch him realease them

[@masongreene3054]

Where is this location

[@ThatQuicksandTaco]

Did u ever find out the location)

[@rainzer0]

Dude that fish was $$$. Good job landing that fish. I thought that line would snap from fatigue.

[@madhatterfishing5648]

Nice video

[@SuperciccioBarzanti]

Talking about carp subspecies there's also the leather carp(without any scales) very common in france and eastern europe... i hope you catch one of Those, they're beautiful

[@saveamerica5265]

marco barzanti I hv seen mirror but never leather in America

[@gregwright5343]

Leo, There are some really big common carp, a school of about 20 fish, they are all over 15 lbs, no exaggeration. The leader of this school is a hybrid Koi, mostly white and pink, he has to be 40 lbs. I don't wish to burn the spot, but it's in broad view of many Philly commuters. Message me, Im a Patreon, I've seen you fish here before in one of your vids.

[@MECH-MASTER]

Awesome!

[@sunrise_fishing2882]

I wanted to see u evolve it I WANT TO SEE A MEGA GYRADOS

[@galaxygoonz6303]

😎😊🙏🤙👍💪💪Heck yeaa Buddy i cant wait to catch one

[@texasfishingfinatic2085]

I just caught a 34 pound koi in my neighborhood lake last week.

[@abqfreedom6601]

Once again thwarted by your nemesis - THE GEESE!

[@beniles4956]

U dont need 4lb line to catch carp if any thing its bad because u will have hooks in the mouths

[@mynameisnotcory]

You should try and fish with a bread imitation fly or lure, they work really well for sightfishing koi carp

[@markshane2686]

Was that 4lbs test? I wouldn't have known that, if I had the sound off.

[@AK_6.66]

I just got a new lews mach 1 speed spool combo im excited!

[@midnightsnip3905]

Canadian geese ?

[@stanleymorrison9116]

"I have to change rods" * Eh, actually that was pretty fun! Hooked up with a Flatty last year in the schuks while after whatever was interested in biting. Diawa Samuri ultralight rod with a shimano sedona 1000 reel and 4lb test. Most intense fight. Unfortunately, I lost the fish while trying to get him out of the water. Drag wasn't set properly when i was trying to bring him out and the last little hoorah of energy was enough to break me off. Heck of a fish. I suppose with enough drag and patience and line you can catch about anything on lighter gear set ups.

[@lumibrite]

I use 10 kg mono, but it's black so it's invisible

[@Bagelstorm]

My best carp battle on 4 pound line was 20 minutes long, i think the carp was only 10-15 pounds too! Glad i didnt hook one of those 25+

[@TheMortalKombatent]

Why no sound

[@WishingIWasFishing73]

great video... I caught a koi couple weeks ago. not nearly as big as that but you should check it out... keep the awesome videos coming

[@melaniemorgan9561]

Just use spider line of 4 lb it's like 12 pound line

[@GoonieGooGoo410]

Someone would pay good money to have that in their pond

[@asdfkhieee]

dude you need to chill out, you keep fighting those koi they are gonna evolve into gyardos and mess you up.

[@Tmoney1001]

You need to go fish with Tim galati some more! Loved those old videos

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

What a beauty

[@larsvegas1505]

why not fish on the surface with bread.. u can feed them a bit and get away with using 8-10 lb line.. wich is more up to the job than 4lb is... ive caught 50+ lb carp on 4 lb though but its not ideal.

[@iian_]

Im not sure on the legality of releasing koi back into somewhere once you have caught it. You may very well be breaking the law and should be killing these fish. Not exactly sure though. I know many things in florida, once caught must not be let back go.

[@felaa94]

I've lost a 15kg carp today due to my fluorocarbon leader going to shit :X

[@Jcarlo1320]

I used to see at least 8 koi in my pond but after a year of not fishing it I never saw them again. I don’t want to believe someone took them out of the water to either eat them or take them for pets 😓.

[@saveamerica5265]

732Located a lot of people think common carp are harmful so they kill them and use them for fertilizer or trash. I disagree with this. Only asain carp are harmful and they arnt even related to normal carp.

[@saveamerica5265]

I fish for everything in my rivers and lakes and I find some huge bass in lakes with carp because the bass eat the baby carp. Some people are just stupid. It’s called an ecosystem
