Bowfishing Record Alligator Gar on the Mississippi River

[@randy_n]

Love bowfishing. Can't wait for the warm weather to hit.

[@patleclere246]

The taxidermy man gonna love seeing u guy's show up that's awesome

[@rebelnation3601]

WOW!!! THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A DINOSAUR!!!

[@larryjohnson6066]

Im. 60 years old and have seen the big gator gar population decimated with bow fishing ,I grew fishing the Trinity river and have seen their numbers decline. The one thing about bow fishing there is no catch and release

[@danielenright4174]

Doesn’t make them less invasive it’s a good thing their population has went down

[@kevinzhao2055]

@@danielenright4174 they're not invasive dumbass and they keep carp numbers down

"The limit on gar is 2 per person..." Proceeds to shoot 37 gar in a row. Great shooting! Congrats on the monster at the end!

[@brians48now]

There is NO limit on gar. He was talking about alligator gar.

[@doughesson]

Ain't it fun fishing with the game warden?

[@bradleyhicks4539]

Limit on Alligator Gar is 2 per person. Longnose gar is what most of those that were shot were. No limit on those

[@dusblb]

good ..bro nice hunting..1000 like from slingshot fishing indonesia

[@BrotherClint-eg7vf]

Love bowfishing, but wish they protected the alligator gar. It's one of the few species that preys on the asian carp destroying our river systems.

GREAT video, very enjoyable

[@tevinwhitetree7628]

That's a good catch!!

[@apocalimp2401]

how stupid can u get by killing all the predators when theres an invasive species?

[@apocalimp2401]

AND ITS SPAWNING SEASON... just cmon!

[@TheFirstAmendment]

Yeah I love shooting. But I believe they've shortened the time your allowed to hunt for these and made the Asian carp year round. I don't see them ever going away sadly... They're like zebra muscles... Smh

[@doughesson]

They also encourage people to take out the invasive species.

[@daves.5301]

I thought the idea was to protect alligator gar now.

[@sexyturtleking1203]

AMS reels are the only way to go.

[@doughesson]

I use an old cool whip tub to coil my string into. I use a 150# Horton Yukon compound crossbow with AMS fishing bolts. Great fun,ain't it?

@Zachariah Braydon glad I could help =)

[@jrcostilla9105]

I would tell you good luck normally but if there is a carp problem I don't understand killing gar . It's sad to say but this is why the carp keep spreading and taking over. But the dnr there should do something its their job and area of expertise

[@tabletopwarrior]

Did someone say "we're gonna need a bigger boat".

[@selmagregorio7486]

gostei muito parabéns pelo seu pescado 😁💎🇧🇷

[@MrT13]

Damn. Yea realistically that fish probably loses a gallon of blood or more. That was a 190 plus possibly 200 lb fish. I’d really like to know an exact age.

[@stanford2444]

Should have been shooting Asian Carp and left the Gar alone

[@brians48now]

They are both trash fish.

[@backyardbeasts925]

@@brians48now My question for you is if gator gar are "Trash fish" why kill them, they play an important role in the ecosystem. I am personally all for healthy hunting/fishing and bow fishing is a great way to do it, but if you take away predatory species you risk losing a valuable ecosystem. Plus in my opinion, they don't taste all that great.

[@brians48now]

@@backyardbeasts925 I said Gar are trash fish. I did not say alligator gar. 2 very different fish.

Your skin is really clear, what exfoliating cream do you use?

[@doughesson]

Working on the river out of Memphis, I've taken my crossbow & fishing bolts to shoot from whatever barge we were shoving at the Asian carp jumping out of the water. I'd have so much fun that the towboat pilot would let me drive going back while he took a turn at it.

[@suzycreamcheeze000]

Damn man,that Gar lived for decades to get that big,she deserved more respect than that...Guess you can't catch and release when you had a harpoon torn through yer body,that poor son of a beetch feesh.

[@JstnW]

Pretty neat, but I would rather see catch and release.

[@doughesson]

Hunting ain't catch & release, my friend.

[@JstnW]

doughesson I'm not talking about hunting. Fishing... rod and reel. Catch and release.

[@kentcostello8099]

Hay come up to the ILLINOIS river and have fun with the big head carp . Good job on the video keep it up 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@gentes24]

Killing a fish that's over 100 years old?? That's B.S. to me!!

[@robertphillips3992]

Yeah, I guess he should have checked his ID first

Do you guys eat these fish?

[@TheFirstAmendment]

Some do. They have one piece of backstrap that I've heard is good if prepared well. It's gamey and very fishey. The other parts are poisonous. You need to know what your doing. Lol you need a sawza to cut through the armor & a Sharp fillet knife .

Gar are not trash fish bud catch a clue an go for sumthin invasive

Limit is two they've caught more than that each

[@jasoncox4234]

Nice. I would love to get a alligator gar. Here in NC I just have flounder, skate, gar, and carp I bowfish for. Drop a barb in a big skate and hold on. Makes great scallops!

[@Mangaia0103]

Good fish you caught, however, such a fish NEEDS to be released.

[@Mote78]

It would probably die after such injury.

[@BoaresAddja]

fuck releasing big fish, that just fucks it up. Though I do get it if there are invasive species that those big fish feed on.

I don't feel this 2 guys are true sportsmen . Love to fish and hunt . But to kill a 100 year old fish that eats Asian carp sounds irresponsible to me .

[@simsonlinebiology8556]

Maybe a 15-20 year old- no where near 100. They don't eat enough asian carp to make a difference either way.

@@TheFirstAmendment animals dont need you to keep them in check. Gar have been on this planet for millions of years before you and your ego were here. all im saying is that there is probably a more humane way to catch these animals to eat if you really need to eat them as a food source. nature doesn't give a shit about your youtube subscribers, so please act accordingly if you ego isn't too big.
