70lb RIVER MONSTER.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND COMMENT
In this alligator fishing video we ventured into the blazing heat to a big river to try and catch some big fish. We arrived an hour after sunrise to try and get the morning bite and catch a big one before the heat took us down. Braving triple digit heat indexes we managed to catch an absolute river monster!

Amazing catch yall fish can be very deceptive when i comes to weight

[@Flahmas]

What a beautiful fish, I'm looking forward to the near future when I have the equipment to catch my first gar but that may be a minute. It's also so hot nowadays that a few hours with just one water bottle isn't enough. Great video!

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

Thanks! Good luck out there. But yes you need lots of water. I’ve had heat exhaustion twice this season. This heat is dangerous

[@johnlavigne321]

Hello my friend..beast of the Big Boys..before i forget...what size and what bait hooks do u use to catch the big boys

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

I got it all laid out in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4C3m4V_a9x6i68

[@savedbygraceoutdoors]

Do you do guided trips?

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

No, the guide life is not for me. But there are some good ones out there

[@rvotbeats]

One of my buddies said his leader got broke off by a possible gar on crab. Do gar eat crab?

[@rvotbeats]

SUPER nice catch BTW 🐊🎣 I've yet to catch one

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

@@rvotbeats Gar do eat crabs and can survive in fairly salty water as well. It's not uncommon to see them in the bays of the Gulf.

[@rvotbeats]

@@BitesandStrikesFishing ok 🆒 yes he was on a saltwater pier close to a river

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

@@rvotbeats yep, they are normally not their in large numbers but they do venture into the saltwater. They'll eat bait fish, crabs, birds, etc. They are opportunity feeders

[@rvotbeats]

@@BitesandStrikesFishing Thanks can't imagine throwing out a 🐦 as bait 😂

[@reelingwithrobby]

Is it possible the scale was set to kg? There’s no way that fish was under 100 haha

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

We triple checked, it was on pounds. I generally catch 5’ gar with 25-28” girth so this was a pretty skinny girl.

[@reelingwithrobby]

@@BitesandStrikesFishing that’s crazy. Yeah that thing was super skinny, I can pick up a 70lb dumbbell like nothing but some of the 6+ footers I’ve caught feel like double but granted they were fat as shit haha

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

@@reelingwithrobby that’s one of the reasons I carry that weight bag. So I can get accurate weights. Everyone always just guesses but I like to know. That bag is actually for carp fishing 😂 And the scale is for cranes and goes up to 600lbs

[@reelingwithrobby]

@@BitesandStrikesFishing yeah that’s really interesting to see the weights I bet, and lol yeah I figured haha I’ve seen ppl in the UK use those

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

@@reelingwithrobby yeah they vise them a lot. This is my second one. The gars teeth and fins tear them up pretty good
