That was a cool video. It did teach us how to rig up for gar. Thanks for going out with the guys to share their lifestyle with us.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Very cool. I can't wait to go out and do that again

[@nunyabidness454]

very cool video. thank you for posting it.

Thank you for the video, bud. Boy, that was fun watching you guys catching the gars.

Whatup T? Thanks man

[@mikerhodes3563]

A friend of mine - Ricky Verret - fishes for gar down Bayou Dularge- he posted a u tube video of him cleaning gar - he lives about a mile from my house- LSU hired him and filmed the video - LSU wanted the roe - very interesting and something to see

[@OutsidetheLevees]

That is pretty interesting

hell yeah, Jared. good stuff. i thought you were gonna cook some. :P

Next time for sure.

[@FishOn504]

Great sport The big boys are a job

[@pop4725]

I enjoy your videos , lived in South Louisiana for over 30 years, very familiar with the alligator gar, while I appreciate the effort these guys put into their trade I’d rather watch em catch another fish, large alligator gar can be 50 years old, the females do not spawn yearly, the spawn is dictated by water conditions, only two states the gar is in abundance are Texas and Louisiana, I get it’s a limited commercial fishery, but taking 30 fish a day regardless of size is a shame, reminds me of the redfish over fishing in the 80’s, almost wiped the reds out in Louisiana, these are two great guys , obvious they work hard and represent a way of life, I’d rather watch them catch catfish than those alligator gar….I have eaten bbq gar steaks with Louisiana Jack Miller bbq sauce, was delicious…. I do appreciate you presenting Louisiana hunting and fishing in an honest manner

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I’ll support it till the evidence says we shouldn’t. Thanks for watching!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Lol. I need a break from the cooking every once and a while

[@south7410]

Use to be called a nusense around here in Tx, could catch as many as you wanted, shoot with the bow till your boat was full. Never messed with them until cpl yrs ago when I found out how tasty they are. Then last yr put a one a day limit and have to report any you keep. Slot less water here then there, but glad they got protected. They are a blast to catch.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

They are very cool. Thankfully our population is still very healthy

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

Their populations are declining. That is one reason you don’t see the monster Gar like you once did. They are caught once in a blue moon. Most states are instituting more restrictive size and bag limits especially during breeding season.

[@swamplandoutdoors]

Awesome episode bro! Gar is my all time favorite species to target, but I only fish them one weekend out of every year for a St Jude charity rodeo

Very Interesting, We Fishing

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Pretty cool right?

[@mawmawvee]

This has been a fun video and very interesting, as well. Do they also sell the skin/scales? I have never seen your videos before, but was watching BlueGabe, saw your video and subscribed to your channel. For some reason, KZbin doesn't let me see videos, so I have to look videos up for myself, which isn't too much trouble when I like them

[@jamesbrischke4815]

I've wondered about the skin also, after watching Deer meat for dinner clean one with you. The skin looks really tough. I used to live in Alaska, and a guy up there got the idea of tanning salmon skins and making things with the leather. Wallets, purses and such. They were unique with the scale pattern, and I saw them around for a while, but they must not have caught on. With the toughness of Gar skin, you'd think they could make boots out of it.

[@jeboutdoors377]

Hello great video. Love watching your videos. Can you do a finish of what they do to them. I got a question im going to be building a truck camper and car hauling trailer. How much would you charge to make me a few of your logo stickers in a 2'×2' size to put on the camper and trailer. Im wanting to do a favorite youtubers space on them.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Hey brother. I will eventually do a catch and cook garfish. I explained a little about what they do with them., but basically they clean them out and the buyer picks them up. The cleaning process isn't reallt KZbin friendly. If you shoot me an email I can send you the logo file to get printed. That'll be awesome and I really appreciate it. [e-mail]

[@reelpredators8049]

Where do they get the metal leaders from ?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

It’s just a roll of metal wire

[@robertboudreaux4211]

So, How many Gars did y’all catch?

[@robertboudreaux4211]

My guess was 20

[@OutsidetheLevees]

35 or so

[@samuelross2505]

I wanna see you cook a gar

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I will eventually

[@eddiehoff5278]

Are alligator gar like most other species in that the bigger they are the less palatable they are? I ask because while I lived down in Springfield we would go fishing a lot. I saw a man with a big alligator gar that said at that size they were only good for gar balls.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I would say so

Dammit man, thems some nasty fish. We have fished the lower White River at night and have seen gar fish as long as my boat.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes they are cool

[@gpero8680]

I would like to learn how to clean a Gar fish, all I’ve every heard is how bony they are.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

It's kinda tough man but the right tools make a difference. I might do a video just about that. KZbin gives us a hard time about showing blood and guts so I didn't want to put that here.

I dont think so but maybe if you prepared them the same

[@peterparsons7141]

I read somewhere that the knot in the wire is called a “Haywire twist”,,, I dunno, but I’ve used it and never had a problem. Really love hook and line commercial fishing. No by catch, no history of over fishing with a hook and line operation. If this is done right, I hope we are doing this in 100 years, and that the fishing is the same as it is today. Its the deep water dragging that kills and destroys everything... not sustainable.
