[@dillpickledude0808]

I’ve always dreamed of catching the legendary “golden carp”!!

[@InfamousAMH]

I wish people knew how annoying they were... perfect example is the two families that invaded his spot.

[@tomfisher2103]

I've come to the conclusion that most people don't have a clue. Love it when I'm fishing and the parents are letting the kids chuck rocks and sticks in water by me.....like go away lol

[@InfamousAMH]

Tom Fisher yeah.

[@puscylisker1244]

@@tomfisher2103 ive known the rule of fishing since i was a toddler my dad would get pissed if i got around other people ive always let there be 20 to 30 feet inbetween us...on a boat i give them 50 to 80 feet

[@tomfisher2103]

@@puscylisker1244 You are right, it's really just practicing common courtesy, I remember being a kid fishing with my old man, and he was very clear in explaining the right way to do things. He's been gone now over 2 years, but when I fish the things he taught me come right back.

[@crevice5369]

perfect example is leo screaming in my ear every 30 seconds of the video to the point where i have to have my volume nearly all the day down

[@bassnbucks3238]

Love the sight fishing videos and the energy as always!

[@nevahenuf]

Wow thanks for explaining the hook shaking in relation to the density of air vs water. I’ve consumed a lot of fish books and videos and never heard that explained.

[@2StansFishing]

Whhhhhaaaaatttttsss uuuppp Eeeeepppffff!! Hands down best intro not only on youtube, but TV as well!! It's gets ur viewer pumped up n ready to go! I have fished for 45+ yrs n I learn something in every video! Ty for ur efforts putting out a top notch product! And ur right, ppl most ppl now days have lost that common ettiqette(sp?) or respect for 1 another. It's not just fishing, it's in every day Life as well! Well off my soap box lol! Keep up the gr8 work!!

[@synaptik111]

You're a special person with the patience of a saint! I'm not sure how I would've handled the crap you had to deal with when it came to the geese and especially the people during this outing! lol

[@paulbaker7500]

Yeah that's pretty irritating seeing them feed the geese. all you needed was someone to stand 15 feet away from you and start skipping rocks. Rock skippers always make me so low-key pissed off, and ppl who swim right through the hole you are trying to fish.

[@mrtings]

The first koi looked like a hybrid with goldfish. I didn’t see any barbels - namsayin?

[@johnortmann3098]

I think you're right. It also was pretty odd looking around the head.

[@hajduattila9793]

Yea it is a hybrid

[@mrtings]

Could also be genetic defects from inbreeding because that’s common with koi but yeah w/e

[@singletrackjunkie3603]

Looked a bit like a Ghost Carp.

[@BASSNGRASS]

I wonder how many fish he has caught in that shirt 🤔..If you were to take a guess what do you think it would be?

[@illestphill1290]

Sheng...man you still have the best intro on KZbin. Hands Down!!! That's fact my fellow fishing homies! #letyalinesdangle

[@emfishing275]

Waiting for another vid like this lol. Keep it coming Leo.

[@christopherpcreation]

Carp are super intelligent I've seen hundreds all jump at the same time in unison many times far from each other. I feel like they communicate and have very different eyes.

[@giovannikoppen]

These people clearly don’t discipline their children like no one should have to worry about some random kids interfering with their activity, and great video u always crack me up😂 we need more people like you in this world

[@phoenixflame6048]

The "golden carp"... Made me think of shiny magikarp!

[@theoglil_li]

Leo I appreciate your work, you probably spend much time on these videos and i appreciate it Love Ya. Tight Lines!

[@markwithers9468]

@ Aiden li love ya??? 🤪

[@stevecaruso2748]

The sight fishing for carp this past week has been awesome over here in Jersey. :-)

[@hajduattila9793]

I live in the uk and in the hot weather we fish on the surface with bread and carp love it you should try!!

[@Ohhhhnoo]

You probably wont read this but, u looking fit everyday leo!! And keep it up!!! I leave a like every video too!!!

[@marcosrodriguez964]

Who else gets amped from his intro I'm stuck working but he make me want to call in and fish

[@tomfisher2103]

Those geese will suffer the wrath of the Asian folk.......today's special Peking Duck( or Goose in this case )

[@chrisbrown8748]

Great video as always, Leo🤙

[@twistin140]

Thanks for your time Leo!

[@FishingChanneltv]

beautiful fish

[@silentcricket2831]

So fun to watch as always!

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

That place was a Carp and Koi heaven. You are so right about etiquette. I never blame kids as their parents need to teach them that. Unfortunately that might not happen if the parents have no manners. My biggest culprits are the dog walkers. They would rather talk to their dogs than another human being. Scary! Ohh poopsie, don’t bother that mans nice fishing bag...

[@theawkwardoutdoorsman8329]

"You guys know I'm really a sucker for koi" Nice play on words there Leo ;) Also great video and nice fish!

[@billcotton1551]

Very healthy looking carp in that pond. You had a great day.

[@highwayman1224]

Love catching carp on my 7' ultralight Ugly Stick and an ultralight reel with 4lb test. Catch a lot of 6-8lb carp on it and it's soooooo much fun!!!

[@puscylisker1244]

i fucked up and hooked a big ass carp crappie fishing with a little tube jig with a 12' pole and i fought the bastard for 45 minutes while my dad is coasting in our bass buggy catching them left and right...i was on the butt end of the buggy fighting that carp...my dad sitting in the front laughing his ass off

[@kennywolfjr.6413]

I believe you! Any saltwater fish, even a 2 lb black drum, doesn't fight like a 3 lb carp! Carp fight goood

[@bertrame8114]

That koi had very short barbels and a very fat head, might have been a koi goldfish hybrid (or as we call them here in europe: F1 carp)

[@lexkappert741]

Really enjoy ur video's! Not only 1 species all video's. Keep up the awesome work. In the Netherlands u have awesome carp spots

[@elruso8675]

Another banger!!

[@wheelpew4903]

Would love to see epf travel to Michigan to smallmouth fish and sturgeon fish

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Leo, would you mind doing a fan mail tackle video? i have swimjigs from here in so cal, i would like you to try for some bass. It would make my day.

[@dillonfishing]

My fav youtuber

[@tidewaterfishingtour8266]

Leo! As always, great video! I seem to only be hearing it through my left headphone though!

[@mikefarnkopf9813]

👍👍👍👍👍Yessir! YOU KNOW I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! Well done Leo! You know i have a "thing" for carp!😂 I am impressed! I have NEVER landed a sight fished carp. I have tried. Absolutely loved the koi!! So rare, so few and far between. So impressed! I am actually going fishing monday morning in a hotspot for koi, and commons between 2 and 20 lbs. Hit me up if you're interested. What an amazing koi! Wow!! Also, if you want to fish a koi loaded watershed, got one for you! I don't fish for these guys, i just feed them; but it would be badass to see you shoot a vid here.Again! Loved this video! Tight lines bro! Dang it! I have chores to do!!! They can wait! Makin carp bait!!😂👍

[@galaxygoonz6303]

Haha you dont mess wit epf 😎🙏💪💪🤙😂

[@Survival-wk5uu]

Love your vids keep up the good work man👍👍

[@tomfisher2103]

Not much but finally broke my 12 year salt water slump last night. Two smooth dogfish on squid in wildwood crest, hopefully a few more species, before vacation over.

[@battlers3270]

Rest in corn never forget

[@MrStephanholoman]

We never skip parts love your vids bro

[@iamvladbaron]

Leo I love your videos!!

[@bentleyvang2469]

Keep up the good content, stay consistent, and you’ll prosper ten folds!!

[@bladerunner766]

I've caught several carp in the 10-15 lbs range, but I once hooked into and lost what looked like an easily over 20 lb one. Hardest fighting fishing I've tried to get in. Made the drag setting I used for the 10 pounders feel like it was set as loose as possible

[@randomtube8226]

You have to try a yellow trout magnet on carp next time. Its the best feeling when you land one on a lure. I don't have common carp in my area. Just buffalo fish thats almost like a carp.

[@mr.pyro79]

Yeaaa another EPF video!

[@maccorcoran6632]

Nice video man! Thanks for the knowledge on carp/koi fishing as I’m pretty new to it

[@urbanexoticuk]

The first one is a ghost carp the first one it's where a common or mirror carp cross bred with a koi or s goldfish hybrid

[@Exploremorefishing]

I'm in for a future sight fishing tutorial 👍🏻 Ty Leo

[@hallsadventureschaos6121]

Just caught four big channels and one 27lb carp today in the creek behind my house. Tight lines great vid leo love it man

[@hallsadventureschaos6121]

@wayouttatune2 i dont keep any fish out of my lake, want my kids to someday catch them as they get bigger, the kids and fish...

[@johnroquebobis4898]

GOOD STUFF LEO 😍😍 good fighting carps, good fishing video 😄😄 do more vids like this 😄😄 enjoyed and I learned watching this video 😄😄 FISH ON 😄

[@mikey2kus]

Your st croix got kicked, i mean i felt the pain and honestly felt like the sorry wasn't genuine but hey that's my opinion. Loving the videos Leo✅23:20

[@Disavowedx]

Hey epf. I commented on your first Pittsburgh video about catching common and buffalo carp at lake emily. I wish i could post a pic of my pb. It was 38.5in at 34lbs.

[@tomfisher2103]

Not sure about the chumming regs in NJ, but I have to target carp more often. In past I've hooked carp on Wonder Bread, roll it up in a ball, put it on the hook. Nice video brother !

[@maxkamyszekhome937]

Today my friends and I were looking in a little river and saw a king salmon and we caught it and it was awesome

[@anthonyolivio3885]

I've been watching you for a few years it's time we should go catch some salmon they are running in michigan

[@captainrickyfla6170]

1 rod mentioned you in good recent video and I looked you up. Interesting video man very entertaining

[@RTanna89]

Have a group of artificial only ponds in my town that are overpopulated with monster carp, and chumming it illegal. Any recommendations on an artificial that works well for carp? Got one to bite on a trout magnet with a chartreuse 1" minnow(not gulp) but have never been able to repeat this.

[@fromyourfuture1]

R T if you use a method lead with a hair rig and some home made pack bait it’s not considered chumming, (since it’s attached to the hook when it goes in) I asked a warden

[@RTanna89]

@@fromyourfuture1 artificial only, only mentioned the chumming so i didnt get fake corn and chum the area as an answer.

[@TheLichking404]

Wish I could find areas to catch Koi. (Legally)

Amazing as always 👍👊🎣😎

[@torresfishingFL]

It's looking JUUUIIIICCCYYY

That first koi you caught, you sure that wasn't a shiny magikarp?

[@singletrackjunkie3603]

Luncheon meat (tinned processed pork), cat food(tinned meat in gravy) and dog food(tinned meat in gravy) will get you past the bird life. Popular carp baits used by match fishermen in the UK.

Great video👍👍👍

Great catch Leo 👍 keep it up! #tightlines

[@nick_nutty8002]

Leo you have more patience than I do. I deal with people like this all the time where I fish. Feeding ducks right next to me while I'm fishing kids throwing rocks.somedays I feel like drowning a mf😂 you waited and completed the mission. Props bro

[@CashsUltimateOutdoors]

Never fished for Koi but looks pretty lit

[@FrankWolfeUDL]

ehTHE BEAST fantastic vid bro

[@crayoneatingtitan347]

Just caught my pb carp today! It weighed 20 pounds

[@rcarrbcarr]

I really dislike fishing there, I am very well aware it's a catch and release body of water but every time I catch a fish somebody always has to say something to me about having to put the fish back, and of course I tell them that I am a responsible and informed fisherman and I am aware of the rules. And just like you experienced I've had my spots taken over by entitled little rich families/kids. I even got yelled at once because I asked a guy to pick up his sons trash he threatened to call the police on me for harassment, I dared him too call them but of course he did nothing. Any way, great video Leo!

[@extremephillyfishing]

It is the same for me over there, brother. Some folks tend to believe that I am going to eat their fishes. Lol. I always emphasize that I am catch-and-release, blah blah blah. And I agree with you on the young ones -- some of them really need better manners and etiquette!

[@ryanohara6550]

great vid man keep it up

[@marthadolezal3335]

My brother caught a 31 inch carp on 4 lb test line.

[@norlin76]

They sell polarizing filters for GoPro

[@johnschauder]

Anyone know where this is? I was driving around, pond hopping, last week in Bucks County near the Bradford reservoir. I stopped and hit a public golf corse pond. It was too shallow for bass, but there were some HUGE carp and several huge massive turtles.

[@Bestoftheworstfishing]

Carp shy and finicky...not in my lake even caught one on a gulp minnow.

[@kristinel6352]

See....if Leo can catch koi, maybe my husband will let me fish in his koi pond!!!

[@jackchristensen7725]

Hey... What’s Up Leo??? 😂👍🏻

There are companies that make polarized camera lenses

[@alexshort1363]

Are you and Jon b going to be doing a video soon?

You should use an unhooking mat or un hook it on the grass to avoid damaging the body and the fins
