There were no new uploads this week, but "7 Days Street Fishing Paris" gave viewers a recent expedition to spend time with. Approaching 190,000 views, it is currently drawing the most daily views of the channel's videos, comfortably above the Tokyo island trip and May's Nile adventure.
Scott begins near the Eiffel Tower with a travel rod and a small goby. The scale changes considerably under the bridge. After landing the catfish, he observes, "That was supposed to be one of the harder ones."
The canal supplies European perch and Northern pike, letting him complete his three-species challenge in less than two days. But the encounter with Tim offers a different kind of payoff: the local viewer tells Scott he started fishing after watching his videos. Scott gives him a lure.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, even as its current daily views sit slightly below their usual level. Among nearby-sized outdoors channels, Scott had a substantial viewing week: only Sort Of Interesting drew more weekly views in that group.
Beyond Paris, "7 Days Fishing Tokyo's Forgotten Island" continues bringing viewers to volcanic cliffs and harbors, while the Nile film remains both a daily draw and Scott's most-watched regular upload.
