Leo dont forget to tell the people watching to make sure its legal to use the sabiki rig in your area, lots of places limit amounts of hooks you can use, you can always cut the rig down to be sure your not breaking the law, great video
Extreme Philly Fishing It was truly enjoyable to watch you and Momma EPF slay em! Moms chemotherapy is going well so Dr gave her a 3 week break so WE ARE Going FISHING! Thanks for allowing us all to travel with you and experience things as you do! Respect, Love and MANY BLESSINGS!
u are the one who keep s us informed... and for that you get all my respect..... will never stop watching your blog's!!! from philly. you will never no anything if you sit at home!!!!!!
Leo, thank you so much for "taking me home" during this series in Newport News. I used to fish at all those places as a kid. I've since moved so I haven't seen those places in going on 15+ years now. Took me back to my childhood. And kudos to you, you actually did really good from the piers! Most people don't catch nearly that many fish from the piers.
I have spent my life on that pier it use to be public but they decided to sell it. I just wanted to say there are so many cool places. I just caught a 36 in reddrum in rude inlet. Thanks for the vids
Hey epf! I just wanted to suggest if your ever bass fishing a quarry or moderately clear water, try wacky rigging a PINK zoom trick worm Or any trickworm at that. I know it sounds crazy but it really works in clear water. I got this inspiration from your pink challenge but it’s very effective👍much love❗️
Fished this pier many times. Caught a lot of Spot, some Flounder ( using live minnows ). Don't remember ever getting into a run of croaker though. Would have liked to. As for that "Puffer" fish, we call them Blow Toads here. Have a strip of white meat along the backbone they refer to as "Chicken of the Sea". Usually the ones looking for the Big stuff, such as Cobia and maybe Mackerel & Bluefish, will fish the end of the pier. I am usually a little further out than where you are fishing at. Usually between there and the second covered place. As for the Flounder, it may be 16" but I am thinking 18". I lost a huge one on that pier. I had it up on the surface, but lost it before someone could get the landing net. Never know where that thing is. Sometimes up by the bait and tackle shop where you come in or out on the end of the pier where it gets a lot of use.
Very interesting, Nathaniel. And that is how fishing usually goes -- some species may be common for some folks, and rare for others. And vice versa. And that is what makes Multi-Species so cool too!
This is down the street from my sisters house. You should’ve gone out on the head boat at the pier. I went a few years ago, we fished in front of the aircraft carriers.
I actually caught a couple Oyster Toadfish here in Connecticut a few years ago. When I read about them later, I found out that they normally only go up to New Jersey.
Another fun video. Since you are a life lister, are there any species on your 'must eventually catch' list? Are there any you would go out of your way to specifically pursue?
Did you try casting under the pier, via a pendulum motion? Lots of rocks under it, but you have to cast using a pendulum motion. The diversity was in the rocks.
When you said the only grouper of the north east I knew I had to comment, the route 50 bridge of ocean city maryland, at least twice I've caught what I strongly suspect to be small gag grouper.
Great video. I’ve been watching you a lot lately. Helps to pass the time when I’m not fishing 😂 I’ve been trying to catch a walleye. I have yet to catch one. If anyone has any tips on Walleye fishing it would be much appreciated!
Extreme Philly Fishing Diascund Reservoir is around the New Kent and James City County county lines. It was made to give the city of newport news drinking water and is loaded with fish. It was banned from public fishing for 15 years so it lost the eye of many anglers, but it is open to fishing now and has a public boat landing.
A little Scaled Sardine/False Pilchard scale on the tip of a Gammy makes no difference whatsoever. Why? Because it is too soft and thin. Would be a big difference if it was a rough scale, such as the scale of a Bluegill, etc.
It might just be me, but I feel like most piers fishing gears can be nothing more then the basic hook and sinker with bait , unlike freshwater where there’s a ton of lures to choose from
Jacob P I wish I live down there and able to fish piers.. I’m all the way up in cold Minnesota 😩 When I was in Florida , I just ended up using hooks, sinkers, and shrimp for bait ..
7:00 wants to catch gigantic fish on light line... *palm to forehead* ....REALLY?? Was you trying to disappoint us by intentionally setting yourself up to be broken off? I like most of your videos but come on mannnnn...
Light line? I believe 30lbs test with 30lbs leader is a pretty good range for pier fishing. One guy, downwards from me, landed a small Cobia on squid on 20lbs test line. Bottomline is -- every if that run was from a big ray or Cobia, my gear would have handled it. And plenty of folks have drop nets on the pier. My only concern would be sharks, since I wasn't using any type of metal leader. And if you watched the video, you saw that I wasn't broken off. The hook came back perfectly fine. Sometimes it happens -- due to the angle, the fish probably didn't take the hook. It took the bait.
Now that is what I call a passionate intro! This video has to be awesome with a intro like that.

I am glad to hear, brother! I enjoyed Newport News very much, myself. It is a beautiful place! Thanks for watching!
I grew up in Ocean View, Va. It is actually in Norfolk. VA. A neighborhood of the city of Norfolk.
I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR WHAT YOU DO! Thank you for being a happy go lucky guys who also educates.
I have spent my life on that pier it use to be public but they decided to sell it. I just wanted to say there are so many cool places. I just caught a 36 in reddrum in rude inlet. Thanks for the vids
Everytime I get this alert I automatically say to myself.. whhaaaaaaats uuup youuuuuuuutuuuubeeee

Just read about your dad on insta. Will be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers for a fast recovery. Hopefull he will fully recover.
Your welcome & thankyou for sharing the video!
Your mom is so cute! looks like she having a good time!
She had a great time, tracy! I was very glad to have taken her on this trip, since she is going back to Brazil today.
A great series bro, much thanks to you and Mama Sheng for creating some very entertaining content.
Really enjoyed the footage EPF!! Makes me want to go fish everytime I watch your videos.
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video, Timothy! Tight lines!

1:40 Lol, is that David Hasselhoff?? :P
Yes.
Lol
I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I wish him ma speedy and full recovery.
Sorry to hear about Papa EPF hope you stay positive and inspiring
Thank you very much for your concern. Don't worry! I am fine! And the grind on RUclips shall continue.
Just got home from catfishing , cooking up some channel cats and watching epf. Perfect night
Very good *Fishery* Congratulations beautiful *Fish!* 👍🐟🐠
You lost what looked like a monster fish there man. Always laughing! Great work.
Flounder are my favorite fish to catch. In Texas the minimum limit is 14 inches. If I caught as many as you I would be in heaven
Very interesting, Nathaniel. And that is how fishing usually goes -- some species may be common for some folks, and rare for others. And vice versa. And that is what makes Multi-Species so cool too!
haha best intro yet!
This is down the street from my sisters house. You should’ve gone out on the head boat at the pier. I went a few years ago, we fished in front of the aircraft carriers.
That intro 🤣🤣🤣 never gets old.
in the late fall (late november/early december) the stripers move up on that beach onto the little rock walls. tons of fun
Leo, was you at a buffet in bustleton,PA on Sunday 6/10/17? If you was i think i saw you walking out on the rainy day lol
VERRRRYYYY hyped for your intro!
Great Video Leo! I'm glad you didn't submit to pier pressure.
Nice
Hah. Never.
I actually caught a couple Oyster Toadfish here in Connecticut a few years ago. When I read about them later, I found out that they normally only go up to New Jersey.
Nice trigger fish Leo .
Awesome series! :)
Another fun video.
Since you are a life lister, are there any species on your 'must eventually catch' list? Are there any you would go out of your way to specifically pursue?
I have caught a oyster fish at a pear at Daytona beach
Leo stay strong! Your dad will get back into Shaolin hook sets in no time!
Another nice vid. Lol and Iam going to upload a vid going fishing in Colonial Beach
My family went to that pier a few years ago. Fish werent bitin for anyone that day. Not a whole lot of different species in va
Did you try casting under the pier, via a pendulum motion? Lots of rocks under it, but you have to cast using a pendulum motion. The diversity was in the rocks.
There is a lot of fish out there u just gotta change it up there are spades sheep head triggers drum cobia and way more
Leo I’m so sorry about ur dad hang in there 🙏
If anybody doesn’t know what happened Leo’s dad had a stroke yesterday
Thank you for your concern. I appreciate it. I am fine, though!
leo come to florida again i would be honored to fish ith u cause your an inspiration to many people plus your videos have helped me through depression
Croaker was a staple of the diet growing up in Yorktown.
When you said the only grouper of the north east I knew I had to comment, the route 50 bridge of ocean city maryland, at least twice I've caught what I strongly suspect to be small gag grouper.
That is in Norfolk VA..
Great video. I’ve been watching you a lot lately. Helps to pass the time when I’m not fishing 😂 I’ve been trying to catch a walleye. I have yet to catch one. If anyone has any tips on Walleye fishing it would be much appreciated!
Here in Georgia st. Simon's island pier is infested with toad fish catch a ton of them every time I go
Love ur videos....love fishing 2
This is in Norfolk not Newport News! Awesome area to fish!
Best intro yet
Thank you brother! I have heard Oyster Toadfish carry lots of bacteria on their skin and you should never touch them? Is that true?!?
damn you guys are fast :D looking good there leo ;)
In south louisiana where i live i use live croakers for bait for BIG bull redfish
intro hype :D
Bro you have the most awesome mom!
How many more days will you be here
Still very surprised you didnt go to diascunds reservior in newport news.
You mean Diascund Reservoir in Lanexa? That was too far for me to Uber down there.
Extreme Philly Fishing Diascund Reservoir is around the New Kent and James City County county lines. It was made to give the city of newport news drinking water and is loaded with fish. It was banned from public fishing for 15 years so it lost the eye of many anglers, but it is open to fishing now and has a public boat landing.
Next time you go to Florida can you go fly fishing for tarpon and snook
I've been to this pier
Man this is like my home for salt water let me know if u wanna do some pond fishing if I plan to be in va during the weekend
Have you ever thought about testing Wish or Geek app lures?
Hey you should come to the mississippi gulf coast
Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it.
btw Leo u got me to start keeping up with my species count it im at 64 species 44 saltwater and 20 freshwater 👍
I was wondering can we eat the oyster toadfish?
Absolutely. And they are delicious too. Not a lot of meat, but very flavorful.
What is. The best bait to use on the pier i am going there next week i would like to know
Leo Sheng here...
I bet you got the funny looks for wearring long sleeve and black clothes in the summer.. not the go pro lol 😎
Man sucks you couldn’t get the rest of the shots.
“i’m extreme philly fishing and i’m going in the bite zone of the oyster toadfish”
EPF`s advice of the day
Don't stick your finger in a toad fishes mouth. :)
The only guy I have seen that gets mad to catch a flounder 😂😂
Can you eat the toadfish?
Curtis Medina yes you can
Yes, and they are delicious. Very little meat, compared to other Species, but it tastes great.
Extreme Philly Fishing there poisonous tho
Come to Arkansas for a World Record Brown Trout.
I just caught one of those fish in the thumbnail today. What the heck is it
That toadfish looks like a baby lingcod
Ocean view is in Norfolk not Newport News.... just sayin
At first, I was like who is this dude...watched the whole video. Man, you are okay.
Why didn't you just go to 1rod's house leo
You should order a portable stove from Amazon
I Chechen I munk fish and box fish and cow fish
Yayaya
So what happen to mike man is ok
I don't know.
Extreme Philly Fishing thx man keep up the good vids
What nationality are you/your parents?
Go fishing for Cownose rays. I have not seen you catch Cownose rays in your RUclips videos
I appreciate the suggestion. Maybe this Summer! Cownose Ray action should be hot in NJ now, on the surf.
Next time your in Va I can show you some better salt water spots or we can take a boat ride and put u on some real fish
6:53 Anyone notice the scale on the tip of the hook? That is a no-no
A little Scaled Sardine/False Pilchard scale on the tip of a Gammy makes no difference whatsoever. Why? Because it is too soft and thin. Would be a big difference if it was a rough scale, such as the scale of a Bluegill, etc.
Sup leo
That was an out of breath intro 🤣🤣🤣
I hope you answer me back man
Toadfish seem like the bullhead of the ocean. Short fat and once they latch on to something they dont open back up. Lol
🐬🐳🎣🐳🐬😘👌👍
Hi can you come fish with me I live in Charleston
It might just be me, but I feel like most piers fishing gears can be nothing more then the basic hook and sinker with bait , unlike freshwater where there’s a ton of lures to choose from
Reel Fishing I can tell you probably don’t fish piers much
Jacob P I wish I live down there and able to fish piers.. I’m all the way up in cold Minnesota 😩
When I was in Florida , I just ended up using hooks, sinkers, and shrimp for bait ..
No need for a kitchen just buy a small grill and you should be good to go
I stayed down there only for 4 days, and the ride was by Amtrak. A small grill would be too much of a hassle. I appreciate the suggestion, though.
Extreme Philly Fishing No problem man and thanks for another great video!
Hey Leo I saw you and Donald Trump talking on tv at the summit....what are your plans for North Korea?
Nice. I am not in the mood for jokes at the moment, though. I got other things to worry about.
Extreme Philly Fishing totally understand Leo. Keep up the good work!
