Never watched it, but when I was a prostitute, err a consultant, I went down to Brazil to visit Embraer Aircraft & do some work. One of my clients use to work for an airline that ran Beech 1900 up & down the Amazon and asked if I wanted to go for a run one weekend & fish.

I said sure and we had quite the time fishing for some mean a$$'d catfish type fish & peacocks. We'd land at some
strip that called itself an airport, get some guy to take us out in a small skiff, and catch some unreal fish.

Never knew what the cargo the plane was carrying, and since I was a guest, never asked.

We were also told to watch out where we pee'd because there was some sort of micro bug that traveled up your stream & laid eggs. Convinced me not to drink much before we went out.

It's not really a bug, but a very small catfish. I think it's the Vampire Catfish???? Jeremy Wade did an episode of River Monsters down there. Actually interviewed a guy that they had to literally cut one of those things out of the guy's, uhm....."junk".

Furthest south for me is Costa Rica - got to go twice. Fished the Rio Savegre and in-shore @ Quepos. A real close friend has a ranch down there - hope to get back there one of these days..
