Love all your videos but especially love your river videos. I started pikin a few years ago on the river, and have branched out since like it seems you have too, but its great seeing you out exploring the good ol DPR Jungle. I also got my first gar last year too, I was pumped 😂🔥

I still have yet to catch a gar in the DPR. I usually get smallies and largemouth in that stretch of river. Nice video!

Dang thats crazy, I've seen a decent amount of gar in the river over the years but they all look to be about a tenth of the size of the one you caught 😅 so I don't know how to catch em but I always see them splashing out in the summertime.
