  • We haven't had much luck, and the river is not making it easy for us to accomplish our goal.
  • But with each small rapid we pass, our chance of catching fish increases.
  • Few outsiders know what lives in these waters, but I'm sure there are some monster fish, piranha, peacock bass, and any number of giant catfish species.
  • Well, so this is our camp for tonight.
  • Our guides told us that this is the last good spot to camp for quite a while, so we're going to pull over.
  • It's also a pretty good fishing spot, so camp here and fish for the night.
  • We've had two long days without success.
  • But as we unload the rafts for the night, two visitors arrive that might be a sign our luck is changing.
  • These two guys, they're local fishermen.
  • They just came from downriver.
  • So we're just going to try to get some information from them about what they're catching and how much of this stretch of river they fish.
  • The two men are fishing for black piranha, one of the largest piranha species on the planet.
  • And it seems they've had some luck.
  • Wow, that's a big piranha.
  • This is a black piranha.
  • It's famous for being big and also being very aggressive.
  • They claim this section is famous for its black piranha, but it's also home to the notorious red-bellied piranha, Known to devour its prey to the bone.
  • My new friends offer to take me to their favorite fishing spot.
  • We're going to go downstream.
  • There's a big pool.
  • It's probably slower water, deeper water, and I'm guessing that's where he's going to try to catch a big fish.
  • These fishermen rely on the Rio Roosevelt as a supplemental food source and realize that in the Amazon, rivers like this are now scarce.
  • So he's saying that this is the most important river in this province because this river, more so than any other river, it passes through pristine forest.
  • And so the condition of the river, it's very clean and it's very good for fish.
  • We get our lines in the water, but the only nibbles we feel are from small piranha stealing our bait.
  • They've stripped the flesh to the bone on this fish, but still haven't taken the hook.
  • The light fades and something in the river changes.
  • Wow, that really took it.
  • Yeah.
  • I guess it got dark and the catfish woke up.
  • Man, I'm afraid this rod's just going to snap.
  • Oh!
  • Okay, you ready?
  • Net it?
  • Yeah.
  • Yeah, there we go.
  • Head first.
  • That's a good looking fish, though.
  • Our first big fish.
  • And we can't fit it in our net, so he's going to try to grab it by the tail.
