Hey Mike, let them run down river until they turn and start back up the river. When they turn back up river usually meant they’ve swallowed the bait. Then try and set the hook. Hope it helps on your hookup rate.

[@scottscaneh]

Yup same thing I would have said

[@bigcliff228]

Just seen your comment bro. Said the exact same thing.

[@marqueztransport7697]

Was about to type this then read your comment!

pig is disgusting

[@ImOntario]

@@muslim_allah-is-the_greate1295 this is for gar, not pig.

Really going through some tough times right know but man mullet man every time I see your videos brings me back up keep up the awesome work 🤘🏾

[@MrRedforman1]

I don't understand why you don't have over a million subscribers Ur vids are awesome

[@dallastipton1186]

You should definitely create a veggie seasoning man. You always seem to include them in your recipes and I think it would fly off the shelves.

[@chasefomich9386]

Hey, animal scientist here. Just wanted to chime in on the possible bad taste on boars since it's kind of interesting. In industry a lot of times it's called boar taint and doesn't occur in all uncastrated animals, but can be very potent for some people. I say some people because the majority of the population is actually genetically incapable of detecting the chemicals that comprise boar taint. This is also incidentally why back in the day that boars were traditionally used for pepperoni an other strong flavored cured meats as it would mask the flavors. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

[@chasefomich9386]

Excuse my poor grammar and spelling, I am writing from a phone

[@joshuabell8805]

Thank you for explaining about the hunting from the boat, I always wondered how that works since most of the property in Texas is private property. Ive heard of a lot of people taking pigs while fishing.

[@clutchkick512]

But I cant find anything in the tpwd about being able to shoot hogs anywhere but on public lands with a permit or with land owner permission. Would really like to know the full details of how this works.

[@sheldoncaldwell382]

I always smoke Wild Hog to 145 degrees and then wrap in foil and finish to 205. Pulls really well and is tasty. I have always heard you need to cook wild hog to at least 165 to kill any diseases they carry. I have never had bad wild hog. Prefer to domestic for sure.

[@thehiddensafari7310]

*Out here in central Texas it hit 109 this weekend it was a hot one for sure*

Mullet Man..YOU..my friend..are the single most COOLEST guy on KZbin! I love your channel & everything that you're doing! Awesome recipes as well, brotha!

[@belindaenriquez9592]

Try setting the hook sideways instead of straight up and down! that’s how we hook em here on the coast 🤙

[@massivedynamic2339]

I prefer wild to store bought all day long! Never really hog hunted until I started following your channel, so thanks; be safe; and next time you're in Louisiana, come do a hog hunt! You would enjoy some of the land we hunt!

[@jakobmason]

Hey man thanks for the great content I wish you and your family the best I’m down in Natalia Texas near San Antonio been a fan pretty much before you made your seasoning 🤘🏽🤙🏽💯

[@nikkirichards4952]

Let that meat rest after taking it off the heat to let the juices run back into the meat so it wont dry out... there is always left overs and making scallop potatoes and ham...

[@jeremyallard5449]

Try pressure cooking some of the beast in orange and garlic and add coriander before serving

[@davecooper6551]

The clean kill is the difference in good tasting and bad tasting meat

[@Spooqi]

Exactly. A quick clean kill drops the animal quickly and greatly reduces the amount of adrenaline that pumps through the meat. Always good to see people making these clean kills

[@georgebaker1418]

From my experience I find it's best to allow the gar run with the bait for at least 1 to 3 minutes, almost guaranteed to catch it then.

[@shephusted2714]

prep is key! and cooking long enough...you were prepared! - try some small ones too #moa #freezer packing #trichinosis info #meat thermometer

[@belindaenriquez9592]

Much respect Mike. Some of the best content on KZbin these days!

[@williamgrainger2660]

I have smoked enough boston butts and pork shoulders on the traeger and the camp chef to know that your ham was not cooked long enough to pull meat from the ham to have pulled pork. I feel as if you found blood around the bone when you cut down in to it. I cook mine between 225 and 250 degrees for about 10 hours to reach the point of it completely pulling off the bone for pulled pork. You and yours may enjoy sliced pork and that is fine for y"all . Happy fishing and hunting.!!!!

[@landryfarrar7437]

Love your videos Mullet man👍 keep grinding

[@joedierickx7667]

Try using some nylon rope frayed out wrapped around the hook. There teeth get caught in it and can't get out

[@blackmesaoutdoors4863]

Joe Dierickx good idea!

[@imheeyum9217]

This is the method my grandfather taught me and I've always caught gar successfully

[@noemisalamante3115]

Thanks for sharing this. Sir, if you know to, you could turn its skin into pork cracklings. You must shave it first, cut it into any size you want, then boil these for 30 mins. at least, with salt, drain, and dry in the sun until it becomes real hard,maybe a couple of days. Then deep fry it. It cooks real fast in high temperature so better not leave it alone. I hope you'd try it. It's great for snacks. We even use the knuckles for soup.

[@jeffwood8280]

Have you tried using the hook less method for catching gar? Using frayed up white rope, Richard Gene the fishing machine on KZbin has a good video on how to rig it up

[@gregbeuer9817]

Dang that hog was thick and healthy, he has definitely been eating from someone's feeder he just slipped up and needed a drink you are exactly right if you take care of the meat properly and let it set in cooler for about 3 to 5 days and keep changing the water and ice until the blood is all out and the meat is pink as long as he hasn't been fighting a bunch and breeding most of the time they will not be stank lol

[@kyflkyfamilylivin8247]

You all need longer poles brother especially with them bobbers takes a lot to get all that pressure to the fish man

[@johnlamont3885]

reeling down as close to the fish as possible gotta be the most important part of live bait fishing *might a broken rod eye rubber ring too* had the same thing happen to me a lot

[@justGOLD7]

I have had boar hog that wasn't good to me but I know others that could eat it just fine, so maybe it's individual taste? I have also heard that they only taste bad when they are, or recently finished servicing sows, and that in a little while the strong flavor of hormones will go away. I realize that pigs reproduce year round but that doesn't mean it isn't cyclical where the boar can settle between peaks.

[@keithgainer2915]

we use smaller bait in Florida for the big gar just because it makes for an easier hook up....we cant catch alligator gar but we catch some huge spotted gar....kinda hot here too.....

[@tmccartney1231]

I just cooked a 300+ pounder. I had no complaints.... good job, as always, Sir Mullet

[@howardedwards5908]

Your carving knife your useing to cut the cooked ham looks like a miracle blade knife if so i have the whole set awesome knives

[@1976dtc]

I grew up in the Red River bottoms of SW Arkansas and there were gars for days. I live in Zimbabwe now and Tiger fishing the Zambezi is awesome! No washing your hands in the river though, the crocs bite!

[@nsvoo30]

Was waiting for you to season that little chunk of meat facing the camera😂

[@jaimenava5205]

I was taught when gar fishing when they start taking the bait and taking line let them keep going till they stop moving once they do it mean they have stopped to eat the bait and then you set the hook I do this when gar fishing and it always works

[@nickpopovic4897]

I love that you have the "Miracle Blade Knives". LOL. I have 2 sets! great kitchen knives.

[@cobywilliams68]

Let see mullet man do some hand fishing!

[@Exit0Wound]

My wife killed a big boar near Mountain Home, TX. It was gutted and then right into a walk-in fridge. Next day it went to a local butcher. All of that meat had a nasty smell to it. The sausage and cuts were horrible. I’ll give big boar another try, but that experience has stuck with me for >15 years.

[@trevorh2436]

Got up this morning at 3 and put on a 18 pound brisket on my pitboss, one of my best yet!

[@ikey4ya]

I had so much fun watching y’all miss the fish! But you got bites!

Man I wish I could do this kind of stuff! I'm learnin from watchin!

[@aoutdoors1414]

I have heard the same thing for year's there's no diffence in the taste to me either just glad to hear someone like yourself say it because so many times i have seen people shoot a big one and leave it laying in the woods to rot and that makes me so mad like why did you kill it if your not going to mess with it. I will shoot a big boar and process it just like a sow. And sir you are one of the best youtuber's out there today congrat's great shot and great pig i love that rifle and i love that caliber 308 and 6.5 creedmore.

[@thesouthernlife4061]

My 6.5 grendel in ar platform really gets the job done i love all sizes the bigger they are the longer i soak them in ice water usually at least a few days it cleans the meat out gets all the blood and other stuff out makes them taste exellent

[@aoutdoors1414]

@@thesouthernlife4061 yeah me too I will usually soak them for a week myself and depends what I have going on like you sometimes longer.

[@rwilson208]

I like the way that you live off of the land. You went for gar but you took back up which ended up being next day's lunch. God provides for his people. How are your chickens laying eggs doing? How did your garden turn out? Love watching your videoes. One question that I never thought to ask, What is Mullet Man's Christian name? Well, guys have a great day. Can hardly wait for your next video.

i do tons of hunting and thats what i always get " you cant eat a boar hog over 100 lbs " some people need to stop reading and get out there and do it and you will be surprised. ITS ALL IN HOW YOU CLEAN IT!!!

[@spartanumismatics8165]

Usually there's boar taint. We had bought a young fixed male to be grown out, but we found out at the killing that the woman missed a testi. And the meat had bad boar taint.

[@j.j.bernal2821]

Have had bad meat but my other thing was where we used to hunt they had a walk in freezer and we’d let em hang for a week and then process them and that’s always been my bigger thing just cause we never immediately did something with them besides gut em.

Welcome back

[@anthonymurphy1624]

Please share what river that is?

[@travis4276]

You will probably never catch a gar by setting the hook, you have to let them take it until they swallow it, you will most likely loose your rig but it comes down to how bad you want that gar.

[@Sladerader-jw8ut]

Almost every kid in mason Texas has a mullet

[@tompickrell4801]

Cant catch any GAR I guess pig is on the menu lol........

[@jeremypatton5804]

I agree. Hog taste's like hog. But the tenderness changes.

[@blade8988]

What river do you fish at?

[@bigcatsne]

That is a SWEET gun

[@williamgrainger2660]

Being it is so hot and humid in Texas, why didn't you remove the guts before worry about hams? The hog was also fiflthy which was unhealthy also!

[@Spooqi]

To be completely fair, hogs are always filthy. We know for a fact that they carry tons of diseases (which aren't a problem at all if the meat is cleaned and cooked properly). But I do feel that he shoulda been field dressed a lot sooner to keep everything from heating up and risking the meat spoiling

[@randallrudd1186]

Dont know if you’ll see this, need some info. I can lease some land with pig traps in north central texas, but was told not to shoot a pig in the trap because pigs wont go back in. Can you tell me if this is true??

[@TaylorMadeOutdoors]

Not true, they might stay out of the trap for a couple days but we’ve had our traps in the same spot on our property for year and killed hundreds of pigs in them
