Hey what's up everybody welcome to my office this is where I do all the
editing and it's Wednesday I was supposed to upload tasty Tuesday
yesterday but Sarah had to go into the doctor and get a little procedure taken
care of and she is she's recovering well right now and we will be doing tasty
Tuesday tomorrow so let's just call it tasty Thursday but in the meantime I was
sitting here going through some of my footage and over the past several years
I've been to some amazing places and did some really really cool stuff one of my
very favorite places on earth is a country called Guyana Guyana is down in
South America north of Suriname south of Venezuela and sort of tucked into a
little pocket east of Brazil wonderful people the Amerindians there the
indigenous Amerindians they actually speak English Guyana is an English
speaking country and just a great country and on the interior they have
some of the most amazing forests like the the Iroquoma forest one of the
largest primary rainforest in the entire world and I had the opportunity to go
with one of the villages and do an amazing long river trip now I was just
totally blessed to do that I had no idea what all I was gonna get into but let me
tell you something it was so much fun these rivers and and oxbow lakes were
just teeming with life tons of life piranhas, payara, arapaima and just loads
of other fish so let's get to it fishing in the Amazon is absolutely amazing
my favorite fish to catch are the payara or as the Amerindians called
bayara vampire fish I mean absolute amazing warriors of the river
this is a big one too man
he absolutely nailed it
oh man
oh he's only hooked with one hook
right in the back
look at him
that's about as prehistoric
crazy a fish
as you're ever
going to see
that is a payara
now one of the crazy
things about those rivers is that they just seem so peaceful and calm and like
they're just nothing that could possibly bother you but there's tons of predators
parasites giant black caiman piranha you name it it's there and I quickly found
out about a fish called the payara the payara and it's the largest scaled
freshwater fish in the world they live in great numbers down there the problem
is whenever I went I wasn't expecting to be catching giant fish so I only had a
couple large hooks and heavy leader now I got one of my last hooks hung up in
the bottom and this is what happened why do I commit to doing things like this
there's nothing in this water too bad huh
yeah just just the piranha way I look at it that hook wasn't there before I got
here and I wasn't gonna leave it here after I left now let's go catch an
arapaima that's what we're using for bait we see the fish keep rising I'm
trying to throw this bait to them I just got picked up here I got I don't
know the fish doesn't even know it's hooked yet it's right here look at this
oh it's giant it's huge now he thinks now he knows now he knows this oh my
gosh you feel him just underwater you can feel his mouth going look at the
babies on the surface with the other one he doesn't even want to leave now dude
I tell you what this rod is handling great it's like a tarpon just like a
come on come on big girl come on up here come on up here come on up here are you
kidding me dude he swallowed this thing so far it's a foot and a half down down
his throat this is good right here stop flip the bell no no flip the bell look
look at this this fish is is perfectly fine right now I can feel the fish
moving no problem we're gonna revive him let her go and she'll be fine come
around the other side grab the tail get under here now back up so you can get
footage of us we need this on here okay we're gonna pick her up we're gonna pick
her up your kid feel her kicking pick up look at that folks here smile good
okay all right now look hold the fish I'm gonna try to get this hook out
easy I got she's relaxing I just don't want her to I don't want her to have
my hand is totally inside of her stomach hold on hold on girl there's the circle
hook and the bait now watch this let me let her go let me hold her I'm just
gonna walk her right out here easy follow me with the boat what do you have
