Now, since I first coming to South America trying to work out where the big ones are still to be found Most places the trail is going cold.

This place that I thought was unknown toe outsiders One might have left too late Fishing Daytime night time.

Evening rolling, Mr Lansing.

Lose track of time.

What day it is, man.

In this sort of in between state, it is not exactly a way so exactly asleep somewhere halfway between the two thieves, place gets too.

I must keep my eyes on the prize.

A man sized Lau Lau I awake to the calls of howler monkeys on for the first time in over a week.

Set out into a bright, clear day here my position a bait in the middle of the pool.

Then pay the line back to the rock.

It's when the fish tykes particularly big fish.

It could go to just complete chaos in a fraction of a second.

You don't do everything right.

That's when you can get human error.

A lifetime of observing on refining my skills has brought me to this place.

The trap is set.

All right, bring it about.

I'm 50.

Always alone.

It's a truly bizarre looking fish known as a D wala that's just so quiet at the moment.

I'd actually rather not be catching.

To be honest, I wanted the bait to sit there until our comes along.

But it does mean those are gonna get the bait back out there again.

Get the booth.

Let's go take up slack.

Put that down until something decisive happens.

Small.

Siri's.

This time I have no doubt about what's on my line.

That's going to bonus round the waist.

Getaway place Never lie to my face is a pain in the awful story.

This gear is designed for the heaviest ocean giants, but is it strong enough just around the role I'm using?

Think mono filament line for just this reason.

But it's being tested to its limit.

I can't let that line break.

Gotta get away.

Please.

We need to be careful with this.

That's good.

It's out of the road.

What everyone?

But this point is not over yet.

The fish is nowhere near tired yet.

All right, There it is.

Just be very careful.

Never fish could kick off with a nose like this, Uh, because we help me around the waist.

It's an unbelievably muscular animal, built for speed and power first, and there's its signature weapon, that enormous mouth.

Oh, it's got a bit of a bite.

I'll bring it somewhere whether it can't if it kicks is not sloping down, I have to work quickly to remove the hook.

Good measure this enormous beast.

I don't want it to be out of the water any longer than absolutely necessary.

In inches on earth in front of the dorsal fin is 50.

I'm having to use scales designed for lifting concrete blocks 258 to 56 to 57 4.6.

I think, if you put it in, So it's a 250 kind fiction.

My whole life, I've longed for this moment.

President Roosevelt's account inspired me to look for one.

He never actually saw one, but here it is.

This moment is actually very short for us.

I think it's gonna go back in.

Let's look around intothe.

I really actually wanted to sit and just look at it.

Look at it.

I think there's every show starfish will never be seen by anybody again.

That's bigger ones down there, believe it or not, their thing going on down there.

But maybe that's big enough for me.

For now, if ever something was worth waiting for, it's this river monster off our lifetime.
