I hope you all enjoy EP1 of my 2019 Family Trip to PITTSBURGH, PA! :D In this episode, my father, my mother, and I try to figure out the Monongahela River in the center of the city! Let me know where should I take my parents next (within the USA, please)! Leave a comment below.
Taking your parents to upstate New York (possibly with Tim Galati) and fishing for pike, walleye, smallies, musky, and trout would make for some interesting videos. Tight lines Leo!
Could you give us a hint for your next location in Pittsburgh? I have always been waiting to see you... we were at Virginia Beach at the same time and I was fishing at the exact same Pier and still missed you!
Love the vids with your mom and dad. His arm is doing great. I’m around the same age as your dad snd have a similar problem with my left arm due to cervical disc herniation and nerve impingement. Your dad and mom inspire me. Great videos, Leo!
I do it when ever I text my girlfriend a picture of any fish I catch besides a bass and tell her I am now a multi-species angler like Leo.( The only species I target is large and smallmouth bass)
Leo glad to see your dad improving and we are all thankful for you teaching us new things about fishing and the entertainment. You deserve more subs bro
Hey EPF! Go to literally any of the dams, I used to live there and the spillways are always better for walleye, smallies, Muskie, Rick bass, flatheads, red horse, Buffalo, drum, white bass, largemouth, longnose gar, spoted gar, sometimes pike, bullheads, mooneye, the occasional eel, huge hybrids and some striped bass. All the Allegheny locks are good and the Ohio locks are great too
First of all I'm very happy to see your father is recovering well. Second of all you have inspired me to learn to properly identify fish. I never realized until I started to watch your videos that alot of the "bluegill" I have caught were actually species of sunfish or hybrids. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the outdoors and the sport of fishing.
Incredible day for ya E.P.F. Living the moment which creates a GREAT memory with Family is Priceless. Getting ready to fish way down the Pocono creek with my son. Scouted it out and found a ton of fish. I can't wait for the moment my son catches his first river/creek fish, regardless which species (I found them and learned a lot , thnx to you). Thnx for bringing an old hobby back to life for me, and my son to enjoy. :)
You are blessed to have these moments on camera. Me being 40, that wasn't really an option unfortunately. Cherish these moments Leo. I've buried both of my parents in the last 3 years. Life comes at you fast. In a side note, your dads face after that last hookset... he seemed to be reminding you who was better lol. I genuinely hope he continues to improve. Tight lines.
Good to see someone else catching freshwater drums other than me lol The ones that I catch are pretty tough. They have always swam away strong for me. I managed to land one on a strike king bitsy minnow in the mouth! If you want to catch buffalo fish just find a sewer outlet along that wall and use corn on the size 18 hook. Ive actually landed buffalo fish on small ned rigs before too!
Your Dad is looking good Leo! Glad to see he is doing so well. Fishing has been very slow lately ,but I did catch a monster smallie yesterday in the Monongahela from my kayak.
I really like how you travel to lesser known waters like this. I'd MUCH rather see random places like you've fished than seeing people fish the same "famous" bass waters over and over and over. You're fishing waters that we, common fisherman, see in our local areas...and exposing these waters to folks from outside the area.
@GDom I know, I remember that Classic. I'm just saying its so much more refreshing than seeing Pickwick, Hartwell, Eufala, Fork, Occechobi, Lanier, and all the other Florida/Texas/etc lakes. I like seeing stuff like this that we never get to see.
Finally a known fishing youtuber went to pittsburgh. Well, hope you come back anyway. Fishing is rough here. I think the flatheads eat all the bass and size a like.
respect for leo he spends so much time into his yt channel and he tries but guys, try to share with friends ive shared this channel to 5 people already tight lines leo!
Liking your Dads rig.Used something similar to catch an 8lb mirror from a pond people only usualy catch silver fish from. I used 1/8 ounce drilled bullet sinker to sit on top of the weed and cat food meat on the hook.
Wow freshwater drum it looks just like a black drum the only difference it's doesn't have stripes on it. But the black drum will always be my favorite I love catching them.
So glad you knew what that fish was and didn't call it by the, "Pittsburgh name!" No idea why, but all the river rats around the city call them "sheepshead." It always makes me want to scream when I hear that! 🤣
Leo my man. Get a cast net! Go buy some goldfish or get creek chubs or use that drum if you want to catch fish in that river system! Or any river system for that matter my friend! Great videos good luck and best of recovery to you father.! ✌🏽
I haven’t watched the video yet but a silhouetted image of your dad from the thumbnail with “SHAO-LIN HOOKSET” written above it would make an awesome EPF shirt!
A lot of Channel,Flathead catfish,Freshwater drum,Hybrid stripper bass in Ohio River Marietta area.Get some Kentucky bass about 10 mile north of here which are a breed of themselves.
Lololol did we just see a Shao Lin hookset from daddy epf. He is looking great Leo. You can tell these fishing trip with you just make his day. You go get em daddy E.P.F.
I really enjoy EPF's videos. Don't think I'm nuts but I'd really like to see you catch a bull shark in a fresh or brackish river. Love your accent and your conversations in mandarin(I hope I got that language right) with your family , it keeps things interesting Fish on!!!!!
And do you feel you need to buy a more expensive kastking for good performance or all they all good performance in all price ranges? Iv been researching them and I'm very interested in trying one..ty for any input on this..👍
Night fishing is the best bigger fish comes out brotha go fishing by the Parking Wharf free parking at night I usually use lures jerk bait right by the shorelines hit smallmouth all day

Raccoon lake pa it's right out side of Pittsburgh great fishing
Go on the other side of the bridge so Wharf it's called the mon Wharf there is places to put your rods its 5 mins from where you started your day
Daaaayum what a hookset lol Glad you get to fish with your pops man! I wish I could fish with my dad more often
Love the vids with your mom and dad. His arm is doing great. I’m around the same age as your dad snd have a similar problem with my left arm due to cervical disc herniation and nerve impingement. Your dad and mom inspire me. Great videos, Leo!
If you go to the point, where the rivers mix, there are som big cats and some nice bass on the opposite side of where you are
I do Leo’s intro everyday when I see my girlfriend and she hates it but I love it
Samuel Chin Same

Really sorry to hear that Tim. I was just thinking the same thing watching his videos, he's living a pretty good life.
Good to see someone else catching freshwater drums other than me lol The ones that I catch are pretty tough. They have always swam away strong for me.

I watched that hook-set so many times. And that smooooooth hand-transfer after. SHAOLIN IS UNBEATABLE.
Your Dad is looking good Leo! Glad to see he is doing so well. Fishing has been very slow lately ,but I did catch a monster smallie yesterday in the Monongahela from my kayak.
I see some good improvement in your dad's abi!ity to handle the rod. Great job to him!

One of the best if not the best fishing channel on youtube. Thanks for the love and dedication to your fans and channel😎💪
Finally a known fishing youtuber went to pittsburgh. Well, hope you come back anyway. Fishing is rough here. I think the flatheads eat all the bass and size a like.
respect for leo he spends so much time into his yt channel and he tries but guys, try to share with friends ive shared this channel to 5 people already tight lines leo!
So glad to see you in the Burgh! Take the DCNR officer's advice - try Primanti Brothers!!
Liking your Dads rig.Used something similar to catch an 8lb mirror from a pond people only usualy catch silver fish from.
I used 1/8 ounce drilled bullet sinker to sit on top of the weed and cat food meat on the hook.
His response to you question is it safe here. We think so. Lol that means GL.
This place is very good for fishing, it has beautiful fish Congratulations fisherman!
Hug!!!👍
Be with God!
Suellen Gonçalves - Pesca Esportiva you should upload some videos in English to balance out your viewers.
Nice perseverance. Try the Allegheny below the dam at the Highland Park bridge..
Shaolin hookset!!! 😲 Glad to see he's still slaying them fish. 😂👍🔥
Wow freshwater drum it looks just like a black drum the only difference it's doesn't have stripes on it. But the black drum will always be my favorite I love catching them.
Cheers from a Pittsburgh native! I laughed my ass off at all the catfish and also finding the dead Buffalo... Typical! Enjoy your stay
Love to see papa epf vs epf fishing......priceless time ever.......love it
Great vid leo! I say it a fair bit but I never get sick of that Intro!
I love your Videos Leo! You keep giving me the urge to get out there as much as I can!
Bass tubes work well on that river for Smallies next time you visit Pittsburgh for fishing.
Never seen someone so happy to catch drum !! Love it haha wish you would have used it for catfish bait !
for some reason every time i watch an EPF video, i feel like i am about to watch a Sims video because the little ring at the start of the video XD
That river has the same name of a heritage unit from the Norfolk southern railway
Great video Leo! Great to see dad doing well. I have never caught a freshwater drum or even seen one in this part of of NJ.
So glad you knew what that fish was and didn't call it by the, "Pittsburgh name!" No idea why, but all the river rats around the city call them "sheepshead." It always makes me want to scream when I hear that! 🤣
We've got cheese steaks, hoagies, pretzels, tastykakes, the Liberty Bell and Leo Sheng. Yeah Philly !
you need to go to the other side of downtown and fish the Allegheny River. Bass, crappies and perch in that river and it's much cleaner
use corn with corn/oat pack bait. It''ll out catch anything else you use in those rivers.
Wait what. Did your father have EPF MERCH?! 🤯😱
Your dad's hook set was beast.
Love the vids man. I’m from Pittsburgh so hopefully I’ll see you while I’m out fishing if your still around.
Leo my man. Get a cast net! Go buy some goldfish or get creek chubs or use that drum if you want to catch fish in that river system! Or any river system for that matter my friend! Great videos good luck and best of recovery to you father.! ✌🏽
I haven’t watched the video yet but a silhouetted image of your dad from the thumbnail with “SHAO-LIN HOOKSET” written above it would make an awesome EPF shirt!
I’ve only fished Pittsburgh once! Only got a few cats! Glad you got out and caught some! Great show man!
The Sholing hook set is coming back with your dad Leo .👍
I never get tired of your intro 😂 great video thanks for the content Brother! Tight lines
I can finally get a chance to see you because I missed you while I was on vacation at Virginia Beach!
Love the vid. Try the Hudson River in NY bro. See what you pull out of there.
A lot of Channel,Flathead catfish,Freshwater drum,Hybrid stripper bass in Ohio River Marietta area.Get some Kentucky bass about 10 mile north of here which are a breed of themselves.
Blessings to your family. I love fishing.
I'm from Pittsburgh and fish the Allegheny often.. wish I knew you were here!
Epf. Love your videos!!!!! You are a fishing guru!! Shout out dude!
If you were to go 5 miles up the allegheny you’d be catching at least 8 maybe 10 different species a trip.
Awesome seeing Papa EPF’s Shaolin hooksets!
Keep up your vids they give me something new to expect every day
We almost got wrtten up for our signature being faded on our license 😂 yall got some nice wardens down there haha

I really enjoy EPF's videos. Don't think I'm nuts but I'd really like to see you catch a bull shark in a fresh or brackish river.
Love your accent and your conversations in mandarin(I hope I got that language right) with your family , it keeps things interesting
Fish on!!!!!
I need to learn the art of the 1 arm hook set
EPF you need to come down to the Edwards aquifer just east of Austin tx to check off some major species off your list! (And come fish with JON B)
I love the one handed hook set haha
freshwater drum had a cool silver scaling. it was really shiny
Welcome to Pittsburgh buddy!
I was very surprised not to see any bass Leo!
Your dad is the coolest
