My Pet Alligator Gar: 5 Years Later!

In this video, I relive 5 years of my pet alligator gar, Brazos. He has been an awesome pet and I can’t wait to see how much he grows.
Thanks for watching!!

[@microwavegum]

They grow up so fast 😊

I am so glad you explained what happened to the other pond… PONDS !? I knew something had happened, but I had not investigated further. Thanks for bringing us, who were behind, up to speed.

[@Spelling-ch2]

Wow, he grew like crazy Rip trinity

[@ThePrettiestCommenter]

Man, this was a tear jerker🥲❤️❤️ Watching those sweet little fish grow has been amazing. We love you, Brazos! You future kids and their kids will love him just as much as you!!!!

[@asl6304]

It survived out of water for five hours and was even swarmed by ants? Wow is it resilient!

[@commissaryarrick9670]

gar can breathe air . They evolved that ability due to living in low oxygen environments

LOVE BRAZOS! Been around since his day one! So glad to see he’s still doing well! ❤️

[@kevin110129]

I remember that finger bitten video, and everybody in the comment said they were not surprised at all😂 Can't wait to see more creatures in the new pond.

[@tracybowling1156]

I love Brazos' story! It's too bad that drought lasted so long! All the gar are so cool. But Brazos is my fav! And I am so glad that he survived jumping out of his fishy pool! I know you must feel relieved to have all the Gar in a place that you can control. ❤

[@jic1]

Gar can use their swim bladders as rudimentary lungs. Obviously being out of the water and allowed to dry out for so long is very dangerous, but gar have a much better chance of surviving a situation like that than most other fish.

[@jebVlogs556]

​@@jic1 Stone fish, some Synadontis and walking catfish can do similar feats 😅

[@McGussen]

They grow up so fast. One day, you're feeding them tiny shrimp and minnows..and the next day, you're rummaging around in its stomach to get your 3 fingers back to see if doc can reattach them.

[@ManOfChaiTea]

lol

[@CherryAnime203]

It’s amazing to see how they started from a little fish tank to a big garden pond!

[@Kev5565]

I'm so glad you stuck with it through the hard times, this new pond looks awesome and a lot easier to maintain. I had a shakey start when I had a goldfish pond that soon developed into a Koi pond, I had bad advice and the conditions were not ideal which caused maintenance problems and fish health issues. I ended up making a bigger pond 6ft deep with good filters and pump which has done me well for the last twenty years, the Koi are happy and healthy and now a good way for me to chill out and forget my worries. Looking forward to watching your pond and inhabitants settle in and planting develope.

[@Hoondaju]

4:30 this is why everyone should put their fish back in the tank just incase. had dried up fish come back to life like this as well.

[@jteal6251]

Ive enjoyed watching Brazos for quite some time.

[@TexasMom1776]

Wow, that was so good. Thank you for sharing memory lane with us. I have been following you since before you got the Gar…. so cool.!!! Looking forward to the turtles 🐢 joining

[@biddinge8898]

The relationship you have with these fish, is the stuff of dreams.

[@Q_z_]

Man, time definitely flies. It still feels like way back when we were coming up with names for every new turtle in the pond and watching slo mo bass blowouts

[@toddwise7644]

Excellent! It really is amazing that Brazos survived out of water that long. I know catfish can survive out of water for a while but didn't know that about gar. I caught a gar once in Lake Murray, S.C., but when I got him close to the bank he thrashed around and got off the hook. At first I thought I was snagged on something. A strong fish!

[@theComputerVoice]

Wow! I live about an hour from Lake Murray, didn't know we had gar here! That's really cool!

[@jic1]

Gar have vascularized swim bladders that act as rudimentary lungs, that's why you can see them gulping air in so many of these videos.

[@theComputerVoice]

Wow! I remember that first video, can't believe it's been that long. I hope Brazos outlives us all

[@MintyZedGrimes]

This is insane to see. 5 years ago I had a horrible mental situation and started watching your gar videos on a whim to cope. I was just a teen back then. I'm doing considerably better now and I'm super happy to see how well Brazos is doing. Long live both you and he!

[@gyounce1]

That's awesome. I'm so happy for you!

[@mikek1402]

So many moves, however always caring about his gar....awesome fishkeeper!!

[@Uosw]

you made me have a new appreciation for alligator gar. they’re so underrated and under appreciated. i remember when brazos was in a tiny little tank all those years ago. thank you so much for sharing your love for alligator gar

[@abarekilla]

Those ducks were cool. 5 yrs just flew by!

[@zenny1258]

Wow, you just transported me back to 2019, my favourite year! I remembered the video of baby Brazos as if it all happened yesterday! Time really has flown. Thank you for being such an amazing human being for all the animals around you and hope to watch many more of your adventures! Rest in peace Trinity 😔

Amazing how "Gentle" they are with you allowing you to pick them up without the thrashing

Awesome life journey of your alligator gar and you answered so many of our questions about your past ponds in this video and why you moved them. Would love to hear more about how you acquired this property and the other creatures which will be moving in there

[@gregslaughter9662]

I forgot how small he used to be. Such a cool fish

[@thefightingplumber]

That is so cool!! I didn't know you had them from thìs small. Brazos is lucky to have such a caring owner! You've done so much for them, put in all the energy, money and effort as you did, amazing. Glad they are in a beautiful and safe pond again. Thank for this wonderfull story and video!!

[@paullevesque3383]

I feel so happy watching this one and hearing your journey! I've been watching since about 4 years ago and i remember all about the old ponds, the failed two ponds (That the bird ravaged), and the second failed pond (That got ravaged by drought). those were heartbreaking not gonna lie Here's to the new pond! And here's to more of Brazos!

Watching you for years when you went to some small lake and fed the bass, catfish and turtles. Loved how they knew the spot you fed them and would be waiting for their next meal.

[@eyeticklemymind]

That was riveting 😅 Viva Brazos! Colorado, Phantom, and the rest, too!

[@Batman20-23]

I can’t believe it it’s been 5 years.😭😭😭 there growing so fast.

[@mark3249]

Awesome. I remember as a kid coming up on a canal that had dried during a drought. A bunch of alligator gar, some up to 5', had gathered in the remaining pool of water. Since they could gulp air, they were hanging on. But I don't know if any survived. I never went back. What an amazing creature. I also recall in the 70's and 80's fishing for big alligator gar in Offatt's Bayou off 61st in Galveston. We fished for them using gulf menhaden under a cork. It was catch and release, of course. Some of them jumped out of the water when hooked. Because of that, we started calling them garpon (because they jumped like a tarpon).

[@BlazeJules712]

When I first started to watch your videos I thought it was all gonna be about the turtles (btw I hope they’re doing okay) but when I saw the alligator gar it really intrigued me and seeing Brazos grow over the last 5 years is insane and I hope him and the rest of the gar live for a very long time, well done Fish Whisperer

I have a friend who has a large pond in Bastrop Texas that used to be a catfish hatchery. It might be too big for what you do but it is available and I can send lots of pics. It has tons of bass and several 36 inch koi. It's totally awesome...
