UPLOADS EVERY 2 DAYS :)
July 15th, 2016 -- 2nd day of my trip to Fort Lauderdale with my father! First day wasn't so exciting, since we were just running around for groceries and stuff. We did do some night time fishing, ending up with my 130th Species of fish -- the Horse-eye Jack!
Then, the next day was amazing!!! As you guys will see in this video, 4 new Species of fish from this canal in Opa-Locka that I had never fished before! Truly a paradise for exotic Species of Cichlids, folks!
Coming up in two days: My father and I attempt some Micro-Fishing at the Intracoastal Canal. We end our day landing more than 10 Species of fish in one fishing session. :) Stay tuned!

As an aquarist that favors South American cichlids, I'm watching this and crying as you throw back some of the most beautiful specimens I've seen ever, some of those would cost more than 60$
LOL Toxin I was thinking the exact same thing! Dying to go canal fishing in FL
@@davebrittain9216 Same here. That Salvinii was so incredible.
LOL when you pull a $75 fish out of a pond then throw it back in
opa locka is really ghetto i lived near there be careful where u wonder lol
Pretty crazy how many non-native fish there are in florida
that is the problem. For some irresponsible reason, people here in FL buy pets, get tired, and dump them wherever they can. They do it with fish, snakes, dogs, lizards, birds, u name it.
RamirezHD yup you should see their website with long list of invasive fishes alone.
I'm sure that's part of the problem, but I think most of the non-native cichlids came from breeders and suppliers that flooded during hurricanes and storms. The water temp is perfect for South American and Amazonian cichlids. (As well as Asian snakeheads!)
I could watch you fish for hours at a time. Loving this
Nice morning with your dad, dude! Those are great memories!!
Really cool seeing what all you and your dad catch. Looks like a fantastic father/son trip!
Damn. If i live there this is definitely what I'll be doing everyday. Its 2 of my favorite things put together...fishing and cichlids. I'll probably be broke in a month buying tanks to keep all the freshwater fish thats in Florida. Thanks for sharing
Is it me or does this guy sound exactly like "Ren" from The Ren & Stimpy Show, Ha!...Neat catches tho, looks like a lot of fun!
Still one of my favourite videos, I hope one day to visit Florida and try Fishing for these Exotics. Keep those lines tight Mr Sheng and thanks for your content!
I live in opa loka n I caught those all the time
I've been waiting since your last video for this one. Awesome Leo!
Awesome, Fishing With Joseph! Glad that you enjoyed this one. There will be many more adventure packed videos from Fort Lauderdale coming up on the Channel. Plenty of new Species of fish -- some of them small, some big, and some exotic. I think there is a video with two sharks in it coming up in four days or so. Stay tuned! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
nice man...I've got litetally all the chichlids that you've caught in this video. cheers from india
Incredible amount of cichlid species in this spot...great video
Reminds me of the times I went fishing with my dad, they were the best.
I like your positivity and narrarating
Midas cichlids and suvians cichlid are in fish require huge tanks and are aggressive! It's so cool watching you catch fish I have in my fish tanks!
Heh. Nice, Hooked On Fish. Believe me -- I was as surprised as you to have pulled those fish out of there! It was a lot of fun. The Midas Cichlid (_Amphilophus citrinellus_) was in particular very aggressive! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
+Extreme Philly Fishing I didn't know you spoke Chinese, 5:36 ish "woah where'd you catch that?"
andrew he I speak four languages, Andrew. Chinese Mandarin is one of them. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Your welcome
Extreme Philly Fishing hi
I love how you correctly identify the fish!
man, i love how well organized your vids are!
Thank you very much, Xfighter. I try to keep my videos as scientific as possible, I guess. Lol. That is why I am always including date, time, fish number, and even the photos and name of Species. Hahaha. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
+Extreme Philly Fishing no problem, if you keep all this you will probably become one of the best fishing channels on youtube good luck on your adventure there il try keep on your side for every vid :)!
Man, those are some beautiful fish!
the fish on 7:43 is one of the most beautiful fish I think I've ever seen!
Some beautiful fish there Leo well done man!🎣👍
Thank you very much, Ben_ Martin. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
The orange one we call a red devil in hawaii
red devils and midas look a most identical but 2 different species
Jasmine Orillo Michigan too.
lmfao that puffer at the end. Great multi species video man
That was one hell of a puffer, Shane! 😂😂😂 Stay tuned for the full video, coming up in two days! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
those fish ain't even native to north america i would have a boss fish tank tho lol...
right i already hav a shit ton of fish but itd be more to my collection
Was thinking the same thing bro. Wouldn't have to go to the pet store for nothing lol
All those fishes sound so exotic, especially the name, so aliennish.
you are my fav fishing UA-camr!
Thank you very much, Luis! Super glad to hear that. :) Very happy that you enjoy the channel and its contents! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
I love your videos man
Thank you very much, planet Herp! A pleasure to have you around. Glad that you enjoy them! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Hey EPF, how did you identify the difference between the red devil cichlid and the midas cichlid?
HOLY SHIT MAN your almost at 25k. wow man i told you you would grow fast
Wow I had no idea you could catch all those from that trashy canal. Great video ‼️
Just a question, but why do you use pink colors on all of your lures?
That eastern mosquitofish looks like a guppy. Good video as always Leo!!!
Thank you very much, Wyoming Outdoors! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
where did you buy your pink fishing pole from
Those things are awesome!
Thank you very much, bernier 14. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
where in opa locka did you fish because i live in miami and would love to fish there
@extreme Philly fishing I know exactly where that is I’m from Florida so I’m probably gonna go fish there. A lot of those fish are cool and I’ve never caught them so what were you using to catch them?
I like how he says he caught a new species after he said he caught the toad fish lol it was unexpected that it want a new species. Cool vid bro
hey Leo, I love your videos and you are definitely my favorite fishing UA-camr, as I also live in Philly. What would you recommend for catching bass in the wisahickon Creek?
Can you keep these fish for your home aquarium?
hey philly fishing when i go fishing what shouldi use as bait?
what do you want to catch?
try using a 12-14 lb child
What type of hard lure were you using towards the end of the video?
That was a very small Goldy Goldfish Lure, Sabeda. Hyperlink here: www.eurotackle.net/#!gallery/c1b0d Tight lines and thanks for watching!
What rod/height and reel would you suggest for this kind of fishing?
Use an ultralight rod 6-7ft 2-6lbs line size 500-1000 reel for more fun.
does anyone know what rod and reel he has?
can you tell me where this? I have always wanted to fish cichlids
Amazing fishing!
I live 2 Streets away from this spot. Never knew ALL thats in there
What setup are you using, I'm going to myrtle beach South Carolina and want to fish like this, and I need something that works with salt water
+Braxton Cahela I know, I looked at some maps and couldn't find any, I'm probably gonna rent a surf rod or a rod at a pier. Thanks though.
fun video Leo, nice
Awesome variety of fish in that canal. How did you end up fishing there?
It's a shame people don't take better care of those canals, especially considering the beautiful species of fish that live there. It was disheartening to see such amazing fish being released in that refuse. Enjoyed your adventure either way and thanks for sharing.
Truly a shame, Adrian! I always add at the end of my videos the following sentence: *Don't Litter. Protect the Environment.* I like to believe that true anglers and sportsmen not only enjoy catching fish, but also *care* about our aquatic ecosystems and environment! I truly wish people took better care of their home waters, seriously. The reality is harsh, but I try to stay positive about it! Let's hope people get better at that. As for the Species, they were truly gorgeous! I fell in love with that canal instantaneously. Hah. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Have you ever caught a northern pike or a yellow perch? If your ever in Toronto Canada for some reason the spring has some of the best jerk bait fishing around. In the summer and fall yellow perch fishing is amazing!! Love your videos as usual.
Those are some beautiful fish
Indeed, Simpsorama50. Florida is seriously a paradise for Multi-Species angling! Many many exotic Species of fish down there. Hah. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
nice vid keep up the great work👍
It's like you're fishing in Lake Managua or Lake Nicaragua. Monster cichlids.
Beautiful fish
your using gopro man what is your video setup I always upload my video at youtube from my gopro and it's alway blerry I have a gopro 4 silver
Where in opalocka is this ?
Nice video, Awesome fish!
Thank you very much, Adventure Man! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Florida wants the exotics eaten or trashed, not released, except for peacock bass. The Mayan cichlid is extremely troublesome because it might be able to survive in colder water. Great series. I enjoy watching.
good vid leo great catches awesome!
Thank you very much, 603fishing. Very glad that you enjoyed the video. :) Stay tuned for more Florida videos coming up. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Nice vid I love it
I loved this video! I habe caught alot of different species but dang i gotta get to ft lauterdale! Im up in palm beach
Hey what kind of pole is that pink one? I'm just looking for a new pole and that one seems to be working for you. Thanks!
That was my St. Croix Avid Pearl, Medium-Light, 6'6", Russell. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
where's that spot located?
what was the pink thing calld
Have you ever fished in the Lehigh Valley or The Pococnos
Not yet, Fish Pennsylvania. Those are two places that I have yet to explore. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
En q lugar de Miami es ese lago
Are you going to do some saltwater fishing at night for snook and redfish? Sebastian and fort pierce are some inlets with good night fishing.
hey bro for peacock bass you need to u a top water pipes rapala x rap or any thing that looks like shiner
Are these cichlids native to florida or invasive species,let loose from aquariums?
they are invasive most likely escapees from one of the many fish farms then an unwanted pet.florida has a big aquarium fish farming industry do to everything about it being prefect for tropical fish.however not all the farms have secure pens so the fish will escape do o a number of reasons like being cared off by birds,flooding,ect.
most of floridas invasives seem to stem from breeders and farms not have secure pens.
how do you feel when those tiny fish are on your hook do they put up a fight?
Some of them fight fairly well, Tyler! It really depends on their size. I would say that anything bigger than 4 inches will give you a small pull. Note; however, that I don't catch those tiny fish just because of the fight! It is like a Pokedex -- I catch them to complete it. In my case, I catch them to constantly add new Species to my Species list. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
cool!
That's some extreme micro fishing.
Oh yeah, joe. 1 inch Eastern Morquitofish gets landed? That is when you know that Micro-Fishing just got real. Haha. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Nice fish and fishing keep it up
Thank you very much, The Awesome Brothers. I am glad that you enjoyed the video! And, of course, contents will keep coming on the UA-cam Channel every two days. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
can you keep those cichlids?
Is that a 5 or 7 gram jig head?
The Andrew flair shoutout doe 😂
Awesome brah!
The big fish keeps scaring me aka jumpscaring me XD
Great video leo. If you ever hook into 10+ inch mayan, they fight like crazy !
Thank you very much, South Florida Fishing! And I totally believe you on that account -- I bet the big Mayan Cichlid (_Cichlasoma urophthalmus_) fight crazily! P.s. who knows...you may even see one of those on my upcoming videos. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
+Extreme Philly Fishing hope to see that !
hey Leo =) this reminded me that there's a pond that I could catch apistos,green terrors,ext but good vid
That is awesome, Sharon! Those are all Species of fish that would be super cool to catch. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
How do identify your fish if you don't know what it is Leo
I have a Peterson's fish guide with me at all times, as well as a Florida fish identification book. If those are not enough for me to identify, I seek help through friends. I have one friend in particular (Patrick K.) who is very good at identifying fish, so I tend to ask him for advice. With all this social media stuff, he has helped save lots and lots of time with fish identification research, etc. However, when it comes to Species that are hard to identify, you just gotta go out there and do your own research. Sometimes even books and friends don't help that much. It all boils down to counting anal fin spines. LOL. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
What's your PB in bass
Awesome video! (also, tell your father, nice Rolex Datejust!)
When are u making a video about your aquarium? I would love to watch that
Hopefully by the end of July or beginning of August, ted. I have been trying, but it has been busy. :/ I can't promise anything when it comes to the date, but rest assured that those videos will eventually come on the Channel! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
new species awesome video
Indeed, Hopsky's Lounge. 4 new Species for me from that one little canal. It was blissful! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
@@extremephillyfishing where is that canal?
The jack was a blue runner, summertime they are everywhere
This is a good day fishing, many bites and different Ciclads pluse other,.,.,.,,,.
Where is this at
nice video man have you ever caught peacock bass snook or redfish before?
Thank you very much, Bassfishingillinois. I have caught Butterfly Peacock Bass (_Cichla ocellaris_) before. As for Red Drum (_Sciaenops ocellatus_), I already have it on my Species list; however, I have never caught a big one. And as for Snook, I couldn't catch one on this trip, but saw some swimming around! Ugh. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
do u add saltwater fishvtovthe list
Bienvenido! Where you guys from?
the name of the canal is called snake Creek canal . next Time you come down to Miami I will show you great fun fishing spots in opa locka and Fort Lauderdale
where in opa-locka did you go
mark daniels thanks dude tomorrow I'll go 😀
Nice video! We have so many exotic species here in Florida, it's crazy. That is indeed an oyster toadfish. They are pretty common in inshore waters.
That is indeed crazy, TB! On the other hand, you guys are so lucky. Haha. And thanks for the input on the Oyster Toadfish (_Opsanus tau_). I appreciate it! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
Toadfish are extremely tough. They can survive out of water for extended periods of time. In fact NASA used toadfish when they wanted to see the affect of space on fish. I recently posted a video of me feeding an oyster toadfish by hand during a dive in Tampa Bay that you might enjoy.
bilingual video " Hell Ya " nice fish Leo !
Great Video keep up the good work! :)
Thank you very much, Aussie skills! Uploads will keep coming every 2 days. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!
hurricanes and a-holes thats where the trash came from. side note; Leo what do you think of the shimano spirex RG 1000 as a micro reel?
Seeing a spot totally trashed certainly makes us anglers sad, Rob Naselroad. :( As for micro reels, and also Shimano, I guess my preference would fall within a Shimano Sedona 500 FD -- old model. Nowadays, for micro reel, my favorites are the KastKing Mela II 1000 or the KastKing Sharky II 1500. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
well I was looking for one with a trigger on the bail. Maybe you could suggest that to KastKing for a future model.
Extreme Philly Fishing those fish that you kept catching are an invasion to Florida should not have released them
Rob Naselroad actually garbage trucks spit out a good amount of garbage so.
I can't believe how fast they bite after you cast
I’ll try to find spots like this for some topwater actions
