You need to send them a couple of never lost anchors, no need for big rocks then. I must say you have an amazing trip to tell about for many years to come.
Just an incredible fishing trip! I'm not even there and I'm enjoying it! Tell Paul he is a treasure! Thank you for taking us along. Great video. God bless all here.
Having my Mom born near an area in the Amazon this viewing is amazing. I hope you guys know how fortunate you are even with all the work because I know it`s not easy at times but you know that rewarding feeling
I know we have discussed fishing for your Iowa roots … and you convinced me I was wrong ! This has been your best series of fishing brother ! I mean wow you could easily be on television 📺. I mean your stepping way up ! And it’s interesting stuff , not bass fishing content, but amazing multi species . I could not be prouder of a good ole Iowa boy ! The wales catfish was great and this trip is unbelievable and the big river blues inbetween was amazing . Keep it bro and you’ll have some monster sized spounsers .new boats bigger trips . A river rat line of pre tied catfish rigs … it’s endless . You have made a better mouse trap for sure ! ❤
I appreciate that very much Steve. I don't know if all that stuff will happen, but I do know I've had a ton of fun and with any luck that will continue. Good luck on the ice!
Your one fortunate young man, and I hope you get to enjoy many adventures wherever the big, bizarre, strange, and wonderful creatures that live below the waves may take you far into the future.
I put them to sleep 🤣😂🤣😂 I Love Paul .... I wouldnt be surprised if you're already planning your next trip down there and making sure you've got Paul locked in 😎 Another awesome vid mate. Cheers from New Zealand and Merry Christmas 🌲
Two months of not being on the net and I come back to a first video like this! Great trip, good catches. If I'm up to it tomorrow I plan on some cold air Florida whiskers. Looks like I've some binge watching too-hell yeah!.
You should of showed some of the food I bet it was so good. Thank you for always being there you are the sole reason I started flathead fishing because of your video thank you and I just finished all of your podcast catch a giant for me man
It looks like you're using spinners and lipless cranks fo the peacock. Would be cool to see what they do to a blade bait or flicker shad. No doubt they'll eat whatever comes by. Either way, love watching your adventures. You get Paul of pair of waterlands yet?
Great video 👍 You should do some micro fishing in the Amazon and catch as much different species of fish as you can. Would love to see that, because almost every Amazon video on youtube is going on peacocks, catfish , arapaima and arowana. Greetz from the Netherlands🇳🇱
very cool! I caught one of those about a foot long in Panama once. The ones you were catching could have easily eaten that one! Thanks for the cool video!
Spencer I have one in my basement swimming pool pond that about 60 lbs now raised him from when he was about a half inch. Red tails are the pinnacle of catfish in my opinion
Are Piraiba catfish something you can catch in that area? You caught some big Jaus but I didn't hear Paul mention anything about the biggest of the big kitties yet.
@@RiverCertified this is a link to a video of Larry Dahlberg hooking his 400lb piraiba. th-cam.com/video/_a9nyLUet-U/w-d-xo.html pretty much the same kind of deal with your Jau spot. He said he had a 2lb (live?) bait on called a "kuby". No idea what a "kuby" is though. From what I remember every big name fisherman who caught one has either used big live bait or whole bait. Edit: kuby=south american freshwater drum.
I tried to protect my hands down there. They have some nasty bacteria we're not used too, and infection is a major concern, especially being that far from a hospital.
@@RiverCertified I enjoy them all. Whether you catch them or not lol cuz at least if you're not catching fish I can at least catch a laugh which is basically what fishing is about. You were one of the main reasons why I started kayaking catfishing and this year with my new kayak. I hope to get my very first 30 lb catfish in a kayak. I've only caught a single 30 pounder in my life and that was out of pay lake. Keep pulling in them. River monsters and I truly hope to see you back in a kayak catching flathead as soon as possible. Lol. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a happy New Year. I'm really not smart with phones having only had one for the past 5 years. Don't know what the congratulation thing is. Not one for free s*** just love your videos bro. Keep them up
@@RiverCertified Cool cuz I don't mess around with any of that stuff anyway lol. But I hope so. Got myself the a new ascend 12T. I'm hoping to pull in a lot more catfish this year instead of playing around like I was doing the past 2 years. Hard to believe I've been watching you for 2 years. Going on three to see how far you've come was pretty cool. I hope this card pays off for what I wanted to do. I do a lot of river fishing, camping and kayaking at the same time which is really freed up a lot of my time because I'm able to do all three at once lol my Christmas is great. Thanks for asking. I hope yours is great as well. Happy New Year!
Living the dream ✨️🌠🌌 Paul got that merry go round on lock lol 😆 right to sleep 😴 should make a video of the feast or even a picture would be cool. Fish looks a lot like a snake head I see youtubers catch. Part eel, part snake, part fish all muscle! 💪💪
Man between the wildlife on the water and all the cool stuff on the banks I’d have a hard time focusing on fishing. Funny story about red tails, I once worked in a petstore where the owner got a baby one in and kept it in a tank with a similar sized arowana. One morning after a holiday he comes in and the cat had inhaled his 60$ tankmate
I love these videos. Actually, you know I like all your videos. You see my comments enough. But these videos where I have a phobia of going to... Love it.
Spencer you should move down there you can teach for the Peace corps or another non-profit. You would do great and you'd have huge fish for the rest of your days
@@RiverCertified when I see from footages , crocodiles attack beasts and people, it make me very wary; so as long as u r in a boat a little high enough n u watch your surroundings u should be fine? sometimes, I believe that those crocodile that have been successful attacking big prey r not scare at all all at coming to check stuff that r bigger than them. U guys r real daredevil, bro, really fearless. for me I prefer to stay in the comfort of the house n warch n enjoy u guys fishing .
Actually you caught a PIRARARA, which is very strong and an eager eater. It is very common to see young specimen die trying to swallow too large preys. However, the PIRAÍBA is way larger than the PIRARARA, looks similar but not so aggressive and grayish colored.
You know it is a lot of people's wish just to catch a peacock in their life and you are catching them for bait. I salute you.
Haha I'm pretty freaking lucky
Convinced me to just catfish!
Paul is a national treasure, great video sir!
Definitely. Glad you enjoyed it!
I was the second light on your video to me you seem the most realest TH-camr fishing I love what you do man keep it up
You need to send them a couple of never lost anchors, no need for big rocks then. I must say you have an amazing trip to tell about for many years to come.
Just an incredible fishing trip! I'm not even there and I'm enjoying it! Tell Paul he is a treasure! Thank you for taking us along. Great video.
God bless all here.
glad you enjoyed it! I'll pass the message along for sure.
2:42 insane bite and awesome hookset. It also appears like those peacocks are good at breaking tackle like big wipers are
They fight just like a wiper if a wiper jumped
Having my Mom born near an area in the Amazon this viewing is amazing. I hope you guys know how fortunate you are even with all the work because I know it`s not easy at times but you know that rewarding feeling
Oh I'm extremely lucky man. Glad you found a cool connection and enjoyed it.

Agreed. thanks for watching man!
Spencer you are one lucky Dude!! It's wonderful that you get to travel and fish. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all.
Absolutely. I'm glad you enjoy them and I appreciate all the support!
Man I Love these trips to the Amazon just such a variety of fish down there.
Glad ya do man!
I put them to sleep 🤣😂🤣😂 I Love Paul .... I wouldnt be surprised if you're already planning your next trip down there and making sure you've got Paul locked in 😎 Another awesome vid mate.

He's a legend for sure. Glad you enjoyed the videos man!
By far some of the best Amazon fishing I’ve ever seen. Great videos watched them all
I appreciate it. Glad you like them!
Great video, I forgot about all the bicuda we got into! It was a pleasure fishin with you Spencer!
I had a blast too man. Hopefully it's not the last time!
These ideos freaking slap bro I love the fishing in amazon videos 10/10.
Really amazing video with tons of species!! Thank you for sharing!!🍀🍀🍀🍀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Two months of not being on the net and I come back to a first video like this! Great trip, good catches. If I'm up to it tomorrow I plan on some cold air Florida whiskers.
Looks like I've some binge watching too-hell yeah!.
Hell yeah man. Hope you're staying warm down there. I can't wait for my trip down south!
Thanks for sharing your Wild experience. It’s cold in iowa. Fun to watch
Glad you enjoyed it man
Jealous party of one!! Dream trip for me. So awesome to see it at least. Have a blast brother!!
Thanks man! Hopefully you make it down there one of these days.
That was a fantastic video, Sir specially, when you can make it to the Amazon. Awesome
Glad you enjoyed it!
You should of showed some of the food I bet it was so good. Thank you for always being there you are the sole reason I started flathead fishing because of your video thank you and I just finished all of your podcast catch a giant for me man
I showed the campfire catch and cook one. It tasted awesome. I hope you're having fun with the flatheads man! Good luck on the water!
You’re really showing these folks how to post real content 💯👌🏽
No one told me I was teaching
As always,fire content 👍
Good video Spenc! Thanks for sharing man! Looks like a blast
Absolutely. Glad you enjoyed it man.

I think this was the first time I saw you without your hat on:)))
Love this series throw a big inline musky spinner and see what happens
Glad ya enjoyed it man. maybe next time

I'm glad ya enjoyed it man. I was trying to do a little bit of that in the creeks to catch bait, but no luck unfortunately.
Of course end the video with you finally getting one🤣🤣🤣🤣. Man what a trip great job man.
Come on mine. I landed 2.
Great video man .looks like y'all had a great trip.
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it!
very cool! I caught one of those about a foot long in Panama once. The ones you were catching could have easily eaten that one! Thanks for the cool video!
I'm sure it was still fun man. I don't think I could catch one and not smile.
I need your next video!!!! I check every two hours!
Every Monday and Thursday at 4 pm CST. Glad ya dig em man!
I think master Paul likes his arowana hahaha
What guide service did you use for this trip
Do the fish down there taste any different down there than they do up here
Shoutout big Paul for always holding it down ✊
Fo sho man👍
Aripima are some good eats for sure!
Spencer I have one in my basement swimming pool pond that about 60 lbs now raised him from when he was about a half inch. Red tails are the pinnacle of catfish in my opinion
Your casting skills are tremendous!
haha I don't know about that
I had an Arowanna for a few years. The damn thing would knock the lid off and end up on the floor. Even with weights on the lid.
These videos are killing me... Amazing fish all over.
I'm glad ya enjoyed em man
Redtail catfish are my all tome favorite catfish.. They are so cool
You know you’re having fun when the bait pulls drag
I can't argue with that logic haha
Are Piraiba catfish something you can catch in that area? You caught some big Jaus but I didn't hear Paul mention anything about the biggest of the big kitties yet.
They're there, but it doesn't sound like anyone knows how to target them. I haven't got that one figured out either.

more amazon fishing please!

Kansas City is Watching 👀
I appreciate it. Same to you Brian!
I never caught a Peacock bass before but don't they have mouths like a large mouth or smallie? Why do you gotta use the grippers on them?
They're about the same as to lip as a bass here but they have so much energy and thrash so you don't want to try to lip them and remove hooks by hand
I tried to protect my hands down there. They have some nasty bacteria we're not used too, and infection is a major concern, especially being that far from a hospital.
@@RiverCertified I figured you had a good reason. That's why I asked.
What kind of pliers do you use ?
Great work I might see you on the water next time you're in east Tn.
Definitely say hi if ya do.
Wat fishing reels our u using and fishing poles
They're linked in the description

What model Okuma Citrix reel were you using? Great video
It's a 273
@@RiverCertified thank you
Is this the same area you guys were last winter?
Yessir
Living the dream ✨️🌠🌌 Paul got that merry go round on lock lol 😆 right to sleep 😴 should make a video of the feast or even a picture would be cool. Fish looks a lot like a snake head I see youtubers catch. Part eel, part snake, part fish all muscle! 💪💪
I'll definitely have to do that next time. Thanks for watching!
@@RiverCertified are you still down there?
Good content 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Glad ya enjoyed it man!
why dont you use spoon net to get the fish to the boat? is it not common there?
Not common down there for a variety of reasons.
In Singapore..we call the Amazon Giant Otters the Swimming Dogs..they are as big as dogs
I might have to borrow that one
ya know the other night at work i was thinken, how cool would it be to take paul flathead or shark fishing
I thought about that, but I honestly bet he would get bored haha
@@RiverCertified comparing species yeah probably
What’s that black and yellow reel?
It should be linked in the description.
Sick take at 4:30 mate, just amazing this fishing!
Glad ya enjoy the videos man!
@@RiverCertified keep going man!
That looked like a Super Vibrax , Butterfingers :P
They're my favorite
Great Content , Cool looking fish
Glad you enjoyed it
Those are beautiful fish.
Thanks 👍
I gotta ask man where did you get your pliers and leather sheath
I ordered them. They're Van Staals. Pretty expensive, but hopefully last a lifetime.
@@RiverCertified thanks I’ll have to check them out
man that spinner is a wall hanger now haha, tells a story ya know
Most definitely man.
Man between the wildlife on the water and all the cool stuff on the banks I’d have a hard time focusing on fishing.

Dude it's crazy down there. After dealing with a few redtails I absolutely have no problem imagining that happening
Bucket fishin spot for me Spencer
Is Mr Paul a guide? What's his information,I'd like to know please?
Doesn't Paul have any Lau-Lau fishing holes???
I love these videos. Actually, you know I like all your videos. You see my comments enough. But these videos where I have a phobia of going to... Love it.
Hell yeah. Glad ya dig em man!
Can't lie.... I am waiting on these to drop
Hell yes
@@RiverCertified yeah man.. I need to get down to there and do it myself instead of watching you guys vicariously
Like the videos keep up the good work maybe one day we can catch some pigs together
Can you catch and cook the caiman?
Yeah, but I didn't want to
What does piranha taste like comparatively?
Now u gotta go catch freshwater stingray
What a Trip Congrats ya Lucky --------fill in blank ! C'mon Baseball!
Haha I caught your drift. Go Cubbies!
Love the way those peacocks strike, makes to want to go down there.
They're tough customers man
Nice arowana guys, hope you had a good time in Guyana.
Thanks man!

Spencer you should move down there you can teach for the Peace corps or another non-profit. You would do great and you'd have huge fish for the rest of your days
My wife wouldn't be too keen on that haha

Very exciting
R u not scared of crocodile ?

Great work, Spencer-River Certified! Do you miss being a teacher?
Occasionally, but I get similar experiences when I run fishing charters.
I just booked feb 2024! I am definitely catfishing!
Stay safe man
10 men. I’m praying and I hope to be lucky.
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was low key hoping ud hook a camen
Haha I would have felt bad if I did
nice fishing
Glad you enjoyed it
How much did it cost for your whole trip??
Those catfish are so damn beautiful!
Nothing else like them man
That's funny, you have to make them dizzy.
Paul's got jokes haha
Bro, where’s your net!!!!! It hurts my heart to see you lose those fish 😂
Unfortunately it's too difficult to get them there, so we have to use grips.
Nice one....
Thanks man
Nice video tho 👊🏽
Glad ya enjoyed it man
@@RiverCertified come to SURINAME to catch some peacock bass and piraiba catfish
What kinda reel were you using that was red and black.
Probably a Penn Fierce 3000
