P.s. Typo at 1:27 -- meant to say Banded Sunfish. Heh.
August 18th, 2020 (Session 54) - I explored a "cranberry bog" in the NJ Pine Barrens for endemic species of fish. For my surprise, I ended up encountering and catching a bucket-list species. Read more about it below:
Did you know that...?
👊...As for 2020, the NJ Wildlife still classifies the following Species of fish as protected: (1) the Bluespotted Sunfish (Enneacanthus gloriosus), (2) the Banded Sunfish (Enneacanthus obesus), (3) the Blackbanded Sunfish (Enneacanthus chaetodon), and (4) the Mud Sunfish (Acantharchus pomotis). I wasn't able to find the latest copy on the rules and regulations for NJ's protected species; however, in 2016, I called a "Captain" that belonged to the NJ Wildlife. We spoke over the phone for a little over ten minutes. According to him, then, it was illegal to (A) purposely target protected species in NJ, and (B) harvest, collect, or take protected Species outside of the water without a Freshwater Collections Permit. Additionally, he stated that protected species had to be released immediately -- with no rooms for photos or photo-tanks. I am not sure if these regulations still stand; however, be advised that one should practice safe fish handling skills when dealing with these species when accidentally caught.
👊...the Blackbanded Sunfish (Enneacanthus chaetodon) completed my Enneacanthus collection. I have now caught all three Species in this genus, listed above.
👊...It took me two years to catch the superfecta. The Mud Sunfish came first, on May 9th, 2018. It was my 200th species on my Lifelist! You can watch that video here: • A MILESTONE! I Finally... . Then, came the Bluespotted Sunfish (201st Species), on July 18th, 2018. That video is still available as a perk for the inner circle (i.e. Patreon & TH-cam Monthly Members). A year after, on June 8th, 2019, I caught my first ever Banded Sunfish ( • NEW SPECIES ALERT!!! H... -- Species 233). And finally, in this video, the Blackbanded Sunfish completed the set (287th Species). It has been quite the journey, huh?

EPF: "Yes my man, this is the spot" *Walks into the woods.*
i love the visual i got from this. would leave a like for you but it already has 69 likes and i dont want to ruin it
There's no reason why epf shouldn't have 1,000,000
INGLORIOUS complete agree he should definitely have way more subscribers
You mean 1,000,000 species because he deserves 100,000,000,000 subs
true
This is the only channel on TH-cam that gets me pumped up to see little fish being caught.
With such a big personality the little fish are the most exciting...
I really enjoy watching him catch the dinks too, especially when it is a new species for him
Same
I used to think I gotta catch all the big fish, then a few years ago I followed this channel and now honestly any fish I catch i love and have a newfound respect for
I don't fish myself, but the knowledge you have and excitement you get from fishing keeps drawing me back. Keep enjoying what you do! Thanks for the entertainment!
You are welcome, Gnarly Charly. And thanks for all the love and support!
That’s a tank fish if it wasn’t endangered, such a good looking fish
Yes, those are cranberries.
I think I will go back in a month or so to pick up a few! Make a mean FRESH CRANBERRY SAUCE!!!
That would be cool but what would you put that sauce on.
October’s first two weeks usually is the cranberry festival in chatsworth NJ out where the cranberry’s are !!!!
@@icyy256 He could make a great glaze for baking fish.
Yesssss
No bars of service only means good things when comes to fishing spots we have a lot of no service high country spots here in Colorado and the lakes and creeks that are there usually filled with various species of trout
8:45 “Scientific purposes, identification purposes” we all know you wanted to add to your pokedex Leo.......
Congratulations on the final protected sunfish species and the special permit.
Now all that's left is to get a special shark permit from the state, some NOAA tags and go to the Jersey shore to tag some big stuff in the surf! (For science lol)
It’s funny. I caught a 10lb bass and had the same reaction. I started watching your videos and caught my very first lake small mouth the size of my thumb and had the same reaction. U have opened my eyes to the joy of “life listing” thank you.
Congrats on the new species Leo. Last week, I went to a spot I'd never been to, and caught three brand new species of my own (Redbreast Sunfish, Common Shiner, and Fallfish).
Huge congrats EPF!! That is one heck of a catch :D!! The exotic locations like this is so much fun to watch, where basically noone else goes to fish. Keep grinding dude!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've lived in New jersey my whole life 58 years and fished since I was 4, and I have never caught the black banded sunny. Your awesome leo, all I can say is wow
Great great video Leo! Please come back in this place in the future, I love that kind of enviroments, and the multispecies was 🔥
I’ve been slacking for months missing out on all these videos now I know why I wasn’t happy I needed my dose of EPF 🤣🙏🏾💜
YES!!! Congratulations, Leo!!! Hard work pays off!
I’ve had a pretty rough day, and watching your videos really cheers me up. Thanks for making these.
No problem. and THANK YOU for stopping by and watching.
hello
Great vid brotha , I love watching your videos because you are the only other fisherman that has as much passion as I do for the sport of fishing . And such a huge appreciation for different species.
I love those kinds of fishing holes. Out in the middle of nowhere, that no one really knows about.
I appreciate your thorough understanding of the fishing laws.
That's awesome Leo. Glad you got a new one. I find your videos both enteraining and educational.
Thank you, B Y! I appreciate it, brother!
This lake is beautiful and has great fish, congratulations your fishing was incredible.
Hug and good fishing always.👍🎣
It about time EPF I’ve been waiting for an upload. Great video.
Glad that you enjoyed it, John! Thanks for watching.
Yes Leo, I remeber the old video from two years ago. The struggle was real but perseveration paid off! Congratulations on the new specie :) Tight lines!
Thank you, Marcello! I appreciate it. Tight lines to you as well!
good stuff Leo! Also congrats on 170K!
That intro gets better and better each video. 😎👍 Congrats on the blackbanded sunfish!
Thank you, Tisha! I was stoked! Heh.
Congrats Brother!!! You deserve it Leo!!! God bless and KEEP UP YOUR WORK FAM! TIGHT LINES! Sorry its been awhile we lost my mother Easter Sunday this year and I haven't been online much!
Another solid video. Thanks for the awesome content time after time.
Glad that you enjoyed it, Josh! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful fish keep up with the videos brother been riding with you since the beginning
Congrats on the black banded sunfish Leo! Gotta love the Jersey Pine Barrens.
Congrats Leo!
Congratulations on 2 years of hard work paying off EPF!
Thank you, John! I appreciate it.
Very enjoyable video Leo. Congrats on your special catch. Big thumbs up!
Glad that you enjoyed it, First Catch! And thanks you.
Im about to join the patreon I need more EPF. Great video bro
Congrats on a great catch! So rewarding to land a challenging species. You put in the work and deserve the reward.
I appreciate the kind words, John! And I agree with you 100%.
Home of the NJ Devil, but I don't think cryptids are on your life list, lol. Good to see you back in NJ brother.
I will eventually joke about the Jersey Devil in one of these vids. Hehe.
I live in New Jersey. And ive been to spor we're the Jersey devil is always said to be found and i whent a night. Nothing but do i think it's fake idj
Idk
Leo legit LOVES what he does. To break down as a grown man and cry over a fish, and I dont mean a giant record breaker, I mean a little 3 inch fish just shows you how much he puts into this.
That thing is badass! Congrats on making it bite 🤠
Congrats on that catch leo well done.
Super happy for you!
If you're ever looking for a nice little creek to fish, hit up mill creek above lake magnolia in Bristol. There's a walk in path next to a bus stop on bristol oxford road across from the bristol municipal buildings. Nothing super special as far as I've seen (I don't microfish) but a very fun multispecies trip every time I go.
I appreciate the suggestion, DarkLordCain. I am familiar with that area. One of my friends caught a Redfin Pickerel there, back in the days. Hehe. Super cool catch!
My fav EPF vid of all time. Tremendous mickey mouse freak out lol
You should try Lake Metigoshe one day, so many 12” Bluegill can be caught there and are such a blast to catch.
I was caught up in the hunt! Glad you finally got one to bite. 🎣😊😎👍🎣
Great video man, love your ethics!
i'm just happy that the intro is back lol
yah those are cranberries!!! awesome vid leo!!!
Good job Leo! I know the feeling.
Congrats brotha!
Love the pine barrens hate the ticks! Surprised you weren’t covered in them walking in and out of the grass😂
Congratulations my man
I'm not big on micro fishing but the reaction you had after catching that fish is what it's all about! If it gets you jacked up it's all that matters! Also interesting to think about how those fish got into cranberry bogs? Are there feeder ditches that run into other watersheds maybe?
bro I don't fish, I have no clue about anything to do with fishing, but Leo somehow always makes it super interesting to follow along.
keep doing your stuff man
I appreciate all the love and support, Sam! Thanks for watching!
Here in Louisiana, fishing trips where you leave cellular coverage are a rite of passage
Congrats on the the black banded sunfish.
Thank you for the classic intro
Hi Leo,
Those are definitely cranberries. I used to work on cranberry research and blueberry research out near Lake Oswego. My only concerns about eating them would be pesticide runoff, it looks pretty isolated there but you never do know. FYI raw cranberries are not usually very pleasant to eat in my experience. Great vid! Great channel!
Way cool black banded sunfish !!👍
At 18:46 he go tired of not being able too talk to humans so he used a fish as a substitute😂🤣😂
I know the feeling. I used to be into birding seriously. I know that feeling.
Anyone else laugh when he said no 4 g bars lol we are on 5 now my friend (great video more like this one please) thanks again
Hey man cant wait for your colorado trip :)
Denver, one of these days, for sure!
I love cranberry bogs! they got ton of good pickerel bites!
The one that you got recently was a BEAST, though. Man...so fat, Jimmy!
@@extremephillyfishing hehe that was actually caught around 6 years ago! just took a screenshot of my footage and "optimized" it after learning some photo editing so it looks better. I do have the clip if you ever wanna see the battle! :P
Congrats!!
Congrats Leo on your completion of the set of sunfish. Perseverance pays off. Good for you. And especially with your respect for the rules and regulations of any state you visit, you deserve to be rewarded for that. I'm sure 7 out of 10 people wouldn't have bothered to pay the $22 or even bothered to look into it. So once again the Asian Invasion invades the Pine Barrens and conquers!!! Congrats again sir!! Much deserved!! 🎣🎣👍🤙
Thank you very much for the kind words, and all the love and support, Grateful Dead!
Best into so far😂❤️
Heavily considering becoming a life-lister bc of you. It looks so addicting! Congrats!
Congratulations Leo! You should try a camouflage shirt for stealth fishing!
Getting that Darla action on like the blackbanded sunfish is nemo 😂. Nah for real though great video
EPF: “The blackbanded sunfish is a protected species”
Also EPF: proceeds to violently shake blackbanded sunfish in hand out of pure excitement
And the Dink Master prevails! Congratulations my friend.
Thank you, Bigsimms75! I appreciate it!
Nice to see you are back on the tiny multi species and thank you for your note at the end appreciation spinners and spoons sent. If you would like any specially made items let me know. Best wishes and keep safe everyone.
I love cranberry bog fishing that's like all I do for fresh water
Some of EPF’s edits are just too much😂😂
I love it ;D
Awesome Gratz Brotha 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you, elax05! I appreciate it.
Still THE BEST INTRO on TH-cam.
what an energy man!
You deserve it Leo. You work hard
So happy for you and what a beautiful spot ;)
Thank you very much, as always, Anki! Thanks for stopping by. :)
EPF: **catches banded sunfish**
Also EPF: "I've won, but at what cost..."
Your content is the best!!!
I appreciate all the love and support, Danny!
Extreme Philly Fishing hope to see you around bucks county soon bud!
Congratulations
Thank you, Alan! I appreciate it! :)
I used to live in NJ but unfortunately I never got to fish the pine barrens.
people be trying to catch the biggest magikarp while Leo is one step closer to completing the pokedex.
Best intro ever!
That almost looks like Whitesbog. I've fish it a few times.
Shakespearean soliloquy the last few moments. Congratulations on reaching your goal.
Congrats Leo I also caught a new species in NJ, the Spanish mackerel
Ahhh! That's a good one, NTanz. I remember when I caught my first ever Atlantic Spanish Mackerel _(Scomberomorus maculatus)._ It was in North Carolina, on a pier. Good times!
That stripe version is beautiful ! Looks like a salt exotic 👌
R u Shure?..... Lol great video.
Ik you're no longer with kastking, but i was wondering if you had any insight on whether i should get a kastking megatron or if i should get the slightly more expensive shimano sedona?
Congratulations bro now for them tomcods !
Yessss. Tomcods and Sculpins still on that list, Michael!!!
Awesome man I lived out there for 12 years in chatsworth sometime let’s link and meet and go fishing at lake Oswego!!!
We use the mud minnows in Georgia for flounder. They love them.
I think the Mudminnows that you folks use are the Mummichogs _(Fundulus heteroclitus)._ Good bait, for sure!
Oh okay thanks for the clarification. Never heard them called that. I've heard you say that name before. They sell them as mud minnows in the shops. My mistake.
Yes they are wild cranberry
That's what it must feel like to be abducted by aliens, being in the tank and put back. 👽🐟
I've been fishing in the berks and Montgomery County areas of PA for about 3 years now and only in the last uwar did I start targeting multi species fishing and going for any size and anywhere. I'd still love to catch a chain pickerel and it's definitely my top goal this summer
Yeah!!
Those are cranberries! Saw HUGE patches of them when I was in the Adirondacks of NYS two weeks ago
best intros on TH-cam
I wouldn't worry about catching fish I would worry about the Jersey devil catching you ! Lol
