Mighty good hook design clearly Right time right place Right presentation..and game on Yea I got my feet deep cut a number of times barefootting in rivers n streams..not to mention countless thorns to extract..

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, this area is normally not under mud or water. This is all the result of recent flooding, so stuff that people left here like glass, tin cans, fishing tackle, is all sitting under that mud.

[@ElyandMeg]

When i saw the thumbnail I immediately knew where this was taken! Thanks for the tips!

[@MiguelPerez-mt1bj]

Can you tell the location?

[@benf1111]

I always like trying to guess where you're at. I'm gonna go with San Jac just north of hwy 90 although I'm not to confident. Doesnt quite look wide enough.

[@ChewingToons]

I moved to Houston 6 years ago and only once have I fished there. All my fishing is done on the Gulf. But the one time I did i went with my cousin and I got scared shitless. Pulled out a massive gar and what I was told a snapping turtle close to 200lb. We had to go in to pull him out. But the weather was chilly. No bugs. I dont know why more dont do it.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, legitimate monsters in there even late into the year

[@ericallison4494]

I gotta give it to ya Brother. You fish the roughest conditions in the business. That would simply exhaust most people. The hooks are awesome.

[@DJWerkz]

Just finished reading a book titled, Wild Houston. It’s all about exploring wild nature around the Houston area including prairie land, flowers and plant life, animals and park land. There is some historical information on how the landscape and things living in it have changed but a great emphasis on trying to restore native life of all types (except Native Americans). A very good read especially if like me you are a foreigner living on these soils!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I definitely appreciate it, but there's no way I take priority over fishing with the girlfriend!

[@Flahmas]

Definitely some of the thickest mud I've ever seen on the channel. That second gar had to be over the six-foot mark. Love the way that location looks and if I were to catch Gar that big there I would have probably made a mud angel on my way out! Great video as always!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I kept trying to get a mental estimate, and every time I'd turn to look at one end, that end was sinking in the mud

[@Isaiah-r6b]

Which line would you prefer to use for gar Hollow core braid or solid braid and which is stronger ????

Nice fish, and epic battle through that mud.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I'm really glad the reel only broke at the landing and not before

[@jerrypauling7809]

What you need is some old boards to lay out on that mud. I had to be pulled out once, but my boots stayed there.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Not a bad idea 🤔

[@bonniesmith6886]

Are you using mono for your Salis x, or is it just white braid? I have one and I would like to know what is best.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It might have a few few feet of mono as backing, but it's almost entirely 100lb J Braid

[@clapzzyyt8682]

Where exactly is this i want to go gar fishing

[@twinjacob1]

You need a mud version of snowshoes for your gar fishing from the bank. Maybe snorkeling fins would work. Or maybe you've already tried this.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Can't say I have. Somebody suggested putting wooden boards out. But honestly, the filmaker part of me takes precedent over the fishing part, and I know how good for the camera shots all that mud is.

[@D0ubl3_-_U]

Getting a little dirty is the understatement of the year. Nice catches. Those gnats are ridiculous. I can see them flying around the camera. Plus that heat doesn't make it any better.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, the conditions around the creeks and rivers in Houston have not been fun this year

[@rgarlinyc]

That last Gar sure was a monster - and I'd have to check with your wife, but I'd say you actually LIKE embedding yourself in the mud! 🤣🤣

How and why does he go from a open face to a level wind

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Because the image of the open face reel is the only one I had that matched the lighting of the background when I was making the thumbnail.

[@KitchenOnTheLeft]

If this is the spot I think it is, is all of that buildup from the recent storms? Normally you have to scale about 20 feet of bank on a 45 degree angle to get to the water there, it’s insane that it’s almost level with the water now.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Exactly right. This is all a result of flooding and still not back to normal.
