You actually didn't see it done here either. Show me where in the video he shows its just rope catching those fish. While I believe it does work , it's just weird that he doesn't show the money shot. I wanted to see the gars teeth tangled up.

Hell, I haven't used this method in almost that long. Gar is not a fish I generally target. Bet the newer fine nylon strand ropes would work good though.

[@johnfarmer4099]

Back then people ate the fish they caught

[@Bikewer]

I remember reading about a similar technique even before that, when I was a teen in the 50s.... The guy used what amounted to a nylon-monofilament “backlash” tangle tied to the end of a crank bait.

[@mikhail2400]

I never used nor heard of this one but we have used panty-hose. I think the string method might be the better method

I did this many years ago with my dad using nylon clothes line string. I met two gentlemen on the TENNESSEE River with Gar fishing club shirts near Spring Creek. They claimed they eat “Gar Balls”, cut out the back strip of the gar and boil in water till done, then mix with mashed potatoes and form a ball and deep fry. Delicious! Go get em Richard Gene! You the man!

[@brakemadness]

I’ve tried this technique with no luck. Now I see the trick is in the details. Thanks for the tips fishing machine!

[@jasonbourgeois8363]

I grew up fishing with my uncle George who passed away a few years back. Every since I found your page I kept telling myself that you remind me just like him. Could catch the mess out of flatheads, crappie, and bass. He told me about caching gar like this with a rope and then here you go posting a video on that as well. I really appreciate all the videos you put out. Brings me back memories of how I grew up fishing. Thank you!

[@RandyPlezure69]

No fancy rigs, tungsten weights, rattles, or even hooks. Just a piece of rope. It's simple and effective. I like it.

As always Richard, another entertaining, informative video. Well done my friend! In Louisiana nearly 50 years ago, we would do something similar only we used a wadded up piece of old torn panty hose with a piece of red yarn to tie it and left a 3 inch piece of it dangling on each side as an attractant. I like the rope much better, it makes a more realistic presentation and we had no choice but to cut the line and sacrifice the panty hose wad. Thank you for all of your efforts in making your wonderful videos.
