Fishing for Piranhas in the Amazon River in Peru Travel Video Transcript:
So it is 9 AM and we're back on the water and it is a beautiful morning to be out. We're going to try and spot some wildlife. Oh!
So Sam? Are you hoping to spot anything in particular today? Yes, I would like to see that bird we saw this morning for breakfast. We didn't film it but it was a beautiful brown bird with like huge wings and it looked a little bit like an eagle.
We found something.
So we went out for a little excursion this morning and we've been traveling upstream and now we've arrived at a prime location to fish piranhas. So Sam, how are you feeling about that? I'm feeling good because you're going to stick your fingers in and they're going to bite them, right? What? Just kidding we actually have fishing rods.
So first up we are emptying our boat because there is a little too much water in it. And we wouldn't want to sink when there is piranhas in the water now would we Sam? No, we would not.
So over there is the bait. We're just getting that ready to put on the hook.
Bait for the piranhas. And there is the bait. I don't want to use my fingers. Hahahaha.
This is the way how to hook the bait. You make it a double hook. A double hook. Just like that. Throw it in the water.
So we are going to use this small fish. Ah! To feed the piranha. Oh my gosh.
Almost, almost.
It was there.
I heard the bite.
You want to try and splash the water. That is the way how to attract the piranha. Splash the water to call the piraña. Come over!
Okay, so I'm going to try my hand at fishing for piranha. I've got the bait here. Right here. Let's do this. I'm scared. So lure it over. Lure it over Audrey. Jerk it up and down. Splash it around.
Up and down, splash it around. Do you feel anything? No. Not yet? We're still trying to get them to come over.
Is that a piraña? No it is a sardine. Freshwater sardine. It ate it.
False alarm. False alarm.
I feel a tug. No, they just ate half of the fish. They ate half of the fish. Yeah, oh no. Hahahaha.
Look at that. Our first piranha.
Jeez, they're ugly.
I would not want to be bitten by one of those. What do you think Audrey? That is scary. It looks like something out of a horror movie. Look at those things. Sharp as heck.
We got one. Andres got one. Let's see it? Look at it. That is a big one. A big one. That is way bigger than the other one. Wow. Oh, maybe I have one too. Oh no. Never mind.
I haven't had any luck so far so we're letting Sam try his hand once again.
Oh, another! Piraña number three.
This one can reach like this size. Like big. Holy crap. That is huge. How many years? How many years would it take to get that big? In five years.
Oh. Oh. It's a branch. Oh yeah. Expert branch fisher over here. Expert branch fisher. No piranhas so far just branches.
You got one! You got one! Show it to us. I finally caught one. It was a big one too. Film it. Oh there it is.
It was probably my 20th attempt and I was not going to give up until I got one. There it is. There it is. Congratulations. There is dinner. There is dinner.
You never gave up and finally got one. Now we are going to see its teeth.
So mission accomplished. Time to head back for lunch but we're going to be having these for dinner. So that is pretty exciting.
It is wet! It's wet!
Okay, so this morning we went fishing for piranha and now we are having it for dinner.
And that is the big one I caught. Yeah, Sam got the big one. The grande.
There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of meat there. No, there is not.
As a tip if you're going to try your hand at fishing for piraña in the Amazon be sure to be patient because it took us nearly 20 attempts to finally make our first catch. The piranha are really skilled at just biting the bait and not getting hooked.

Juan Evo Morales Ayma (born October 26, 1959), popularly known as Evo, is a Bolivian politician and cocalero activist who has served as President of Bolivia since 2006. Widely regarded as the country's first president to come from the indigenous population,his administration has focused on the implementation of leftist policies, poverty reduction, and combating the influence of the United States and multinational corporations in Bolivia. A democratic socialist, he is the head of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party.
Bolivia officially known as the Plurinational State of Bolivia (Spanish: Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia), is a landlocked country located in western-central South America. It is bordered to the north and east by Brazil, to the southeast by Paraguay, to the south by Argentina, to the southwest by Chile, and to the northwest by Peru. One-third of the country is the Andean mountain range, with one of its largest cities and principal economic centers located in the Altiplano.
Before Spanish colonization, the Andean region of Bolivia was part of the Inca Empire, while the northern and eastern lowlands were inhabited by independent tribes. Spanish conquistadors arriving from Cuzco and Asunción took control of the region in the 16th century. During the Spanish colonial period Bolivia was administered by the Royal Audiencia of Charcas. Spain built its empire in great part upon the silver that was extracted from Bolivia's mines.
After the first call for independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed before the establishment of the Republic, named for Simón Bolívar, on 6 August 1825. Since independence, Bolivia has endured periods of political and economic instability, including the loss of various peripheral territories to its neighbors, such as Acre and parts of the Gran Chaco. It has been landlocked since the annexation of its Pacific coast territory by Chile following the War of the Pacific (1879–84), but agreements with neighbouring countries have granted it indirect access to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The country's population, estimated at 10 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Mestizos, Europeans, Asians and Africans. The racial and social segregation that arose from Spanish colonialism has continued to the modern era. Spanish is the official and predominant language, although 36 indigenous languages also have official status, of which the most commonly spoken are Guarani, Aymara and Quechua languages.
Modern Bolivia is constitutionally a democratic republic, divided into nine departments. Its geography varies from the peaks of the Andes in the West, to the Eastern Lowlands, situated within the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country, with a medium ranking in the Human Development Index and a poverty level of 53 percent. Its main economic activities include agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and manufacturing goods such as textiles, clothing, refined metals, and refined petroleum. Bolivia is very wealthy in minerals, especially tin.
The music of Bolivia has a long history. Out of all the Andean countries, Bolivia remains perhaps the most culturally linked to the indigenous peoples. Like most of its neighbors, Bolivia was long dominated by Spain and its attendant culture. Even after independence, Bolivian music was largely based on European forms. In 1952, a revolution established nationalistic reforms which included cultural and political awareness of the Aymara and Quechua natives. Intellectuals in the country began wearing ponchos and otherwise associating themselves with native cultures, and the new government promoted native folklore by, among other methods, establishing a folklore department in the Bolivian Ministry of Education.Wikipedia
