Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

So glad I can across your channel! You're enthusiasm is amazing! Much love and respect my friend! Can't wait to binge watch you're videos!!!

[@sandiabill1]

This is the first of your videos I’ve watched. Your commentary kept me interested, sharing your knowledge of equipment, fish habits, baits and rig setups were great! What got me the most was not only the respect you pay to the river but of the fish themselves. Happy fishing young man!

@Kenya smith woahhhhh that's crazy talk

[@BigJ76937]

Your enthusiasm is great. Reminds me of how i absolutely love everything about fishing. I still get just as excited hooking a big fish, as I did when I was a child. Great content brother

[@dantegmo]

The grind is real! Awesome vid.... subscribed! Way to keep it down to earth and humble too.

[@hookedoncatfishing105]

"That's why we fish! That's why we come out here, getting covered in mud and blood and guts and fish slime. In the lightning and rain. Moments like that is why we are here." That is POETRY my man. You remind me of how passionate I was when I was your age. Fish on

[@brucedelagarza9641]

I have to say buddy you do an excellent job filming by yourself. Ive tried it and its not nearly as easy as it looks, and you make it look easy. Super stoked i found your channel, love the content and your professionalism and personality are refreshing. Thanks for making an excellent channel for like minded fisherman such as myself!!!

[@duaneross9271]

Good to see you get so excited, and put them back for seed. Have fun young man!

[@covers4959]

You should have your own show on animal planet! This is the first video I've watched and it's like I'm watching an actually show. The commentary is way more impressive than the fishing itself!! Great job

[@sfranklin9073]

I've caught many sawtooth gar. I call them bugle mouth bass. Never caught an Alli gar, but boy they can fight. Great vid and knowledge.

[@jacobfreeman4711]

I’ve always had pretty good luck at that spot , the gar come pretty easy but the catfish tend to only eat about 30 minutes till dark and at night. I’ve caught some big flatheads there before on live blue gill

[@walleyehunter8862]

Good video looks like lots of fun .. I love the sounds of the wildlife in the background ... Fish on

[@jasonfryeler8122]

First video of yours ive seen and truly glad I found your channel. U respect the environment and the fish so much it is amazing. Not to mention u obviously have a ton of knowledge about fishing in itself. Got yourself another happy subscriber here bro. Keep on casting my brother!!

Nice heavy tackle - love my spinfisher V LL with 65 lb braid

[@Cody2nd]

Used to live by the Brazos as well, I remember Harvey had every house and road around us under water, we had the highest property on the road so it never touched us luckily but 360 degrees around us it looked like a ocean we couldn’t go anywhere for about 2 weeks.

[@cjsiglerii]

That denali bottom feeder is one of the best rods ever. I've had mine (casting version) for almost a year. Handled a big red with ease. Two other rods is the thunder cat and rippin lips catfish rods.

[@dustingilbert4882]

Heck yah, great video!!!

[@ernestwalden3894]

Awsome video. I really had fun watching it. I catch a few alagatorgar gar when flathead fishing also. Actually I lost a good rod n reel last year because I forgot to set my drag and I had my back turned. It pulled the rod out of the holder and drug it thrugh high grass and weeds ripping roots out of the ground. In not sure what did it but it had to have been over 30 or 40 lbs. I had 50 lbs test on it. Anyway thanks for sharing. And I'm all pumped up to rip some lips lol.

[@Ste30h]

Your style reminds me of fishing back home in England....awesome.!

[@georgepickett6853]

Think I might try my luck on the Sabin river this weekend if it's down.

I found your video while during a little research before heading out to fish the brazos this afternoon. Imagine my surprise when I search "brazos river catfishing" and this video pops up of you....fishing in the EXACT spot I was planning to fish! Hahaha

[@R.Gsolo365]

Great video. All i could do was be impatient and say. Seeeet the damn hook lol

[@Frank-bo8pw]

I was gonna fish that spot, but that walk looked a little intimidating. Might take that walk now. Thanks for the video bro

[@THESPORTINGCAMP]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. I caught 3 alligator gar at Lake Livingston Dam a few weeks ago. The sad thing is all the trash that people leave behind. I've never seen so much trash at a single fishing spot.

[@CrAzYGunman13]

Yeah its sad people abandon dogs there to so you gotta be careful

[@marv.mon.9845]

Nice catch! Come fish South Texas waters brotha. We have some nice 6-8 foot alligator gar!

good kayak launch below the dam

[@garyanddoris6022]

Truly enjoyed seeing the gar caught rare to see that , we have some four and five feet gar here in rock castle Kentucky, big fish ...

[@ernestwalden3894]

Here on kentucky lake land between the lakes we catch long nose and alagatorgar gar all the time when fishing for catfish. Kentucky lake is full of them. They can get as big as 8 ft 150lbs. Biggest I caught so far was 5 ft. I didn't have a scale with me to weigh it but just a wild guess I'd say it was at least 70 lbs

[@andrescortes628]

Amazing...good luck.....

[@joefarah06]

That is interesting about that dietary study which found alligator gar eat a lot of tilapia. I watched an old documentary on alligator gar ecology (also by tex parks & wildlife i believe) and they found during their study that channel catfish and gizzard shad made up the majority of their diet. So i wonder if tilapia were introduced since that older video and i guess they've become a new favorite food source for the gar.

[@soniamillerberg5049]

Boxing wouldn’t have guessed, nice!

What part of the Brazos you at? I'm in Parker CO. (Weatherford/Springtown)

[@dustnnolen558]

Yo this guy should get more subs then 3.2k he should atleast be at 100k. Im sub to ur youtube bc u should wat u use and the pole u use.

[@freeair9460]

I started out catching 40 lbs cat from the bank. Recently bought a kayak. It's fun letting them pull me around

[@extremlaybak]

I learn something new the rope trick if you don't have a net to land a big fish very good info thumbs up for your channel

[@alvinwine5665]

Cool I catch garr here in Florida and sometimes eat them awesome fish strong fighter and the smaller 10 lbs and under are great table fare

[@emccloud70]

Excellent Video

[@sanfran7109]

Nice video ,young man

[@chrisandrews9073]

Regardless of how some people feel. I think a fish that has lasted as long as a gar in history has figured out there could be something waiting to catch it. I know a gar is considered prehistoric this is why I think they run with bait for awhile before taking it. Yes they have some great tackle defeating hardware but I feel as though they have figured out that a bait might just be a trap. Just a feeling I have with all the hours I have fished this species. Let them take as much as they want. You better have a fat reel!

[@simondickinson2154]

Where the two currents meet is what we’d call “the crease”. 🇬🇧 You’d expect fish to sit in the slower water on the edge of the faster water, waiting for food to come by. The halibut pellet could be fished on “a hair rig” if you know how to tie a “knotless knot”. You’d need to prepare your hooklengths in advance though Enjoyed that video, thanks. The rope trick I found interesting. Not seen that before, we don’t use ropes here, we’d just use a net. Why no net?

[@hunner2560]

Awesome Video

[@tadhghayden8440]

like your attitude man..!

[@baldieman64]

Nice to see you using circle hooks. There are far too many people gut hooking gar with trebles and that will kill them every time.
