That cloud cover helps on a Summer day.

[@dag_outdoors_and_fitness]

Absolutely...it was a very nice day

For a little backstory, what kind of lunch are you packing. If I don’t catch fish I call it a picnic by the river. I have a local convenience store that has fried chicken better than the Colonel or that cartoon sailor. Their breakfast burritos are pretty good too. Their selection of craft beers is surprising. I envy you those legendary rivers. California has a water problem.

I normally don't bring lunch with me when I fish...if I did, I would never come home 😂😂 Usually when I get hungry enough, I call the fishing trip lol

[@sharodstribling7223]

Say man get you some Berkeley trolling 25 lb test line. Or get some 25 lb test fluorocarbon. That will hold them big ones. I like your videos. We need more good fishing videos like this one.

[@dag_outdoors_and_fitness]

Appreciate that 💯 I have it strung up with some 20 lbs test now...I'm ready lol

[@joshcritney9030]

[@dag_outdoors_and_fitness]

[@rocknroll5725]

[@dag_outdoors_and_fitness]

Yes, gar are good to eat... alligator gar tatse the best tho...it's just a pain cleaning them sometimes, unless you have the right setup

[@richardmetryhoney]

[@dag_outdoors_and_fitness]

💯✊🏽

[@rocknroll5725]

again, circle hooks are meant for the fish to hook themselves. those hooksets are not necessary, feel like your doing it for show really.

[@dag_outdoors_and_fitness]

You can actually set offset circle hooks...maybe not as aggressively as I set rod #4 (it's supposed to be like a sweeping motion) but it's for good reason....rod #4 was a cheap rod that I just threw a baitcaster on and it's super light action, so when I don't set the hook, sometimes it doesn't go all the way through the fish's mouth...also, it's light enough action that it won't pull it out of the fish's mouth like a rod with a little more backbone would
