This Is Why You Bring A Measuring Tape! (big bait lured a monster!)

I admire that you are willing to get down in the mud to land and release those massive fish.

Nice re-enactment of evolution. One day, we all crawled out from the mud. 🤣🤣🤣 That Gar was huge! Nice catch. 🐟 🐠 🎣 🐡

[@AutoCareCustoms]

Hey man I just want to say you are my favorite fishing KZbinr by a long shot! Your passion and appreciation to the fish is amazing that’s what a true fisherman should be. I love learning lots of new things in every video you post keep up the great work!!

[@amazingadventures510]

Great video those fish never cease to amaze me

[@Flahmas]

Glad the thumbnail turned out great! What a beast of a fish to go with it. I hope your meniscus heals up more without any further damage. A great video as always and I look forward to the next!

[@Thedoug369]

I can relate, I've torn both of mine, along with most of the other cartilage in there. They'll scope it out and it'll be fine in a couple weeks. For awhile anyway until you have to have it replaced.

That mud was treacherous, and that fish was a behemoth.

Great video always go above and beyond… your hard work always show ..

What a Gorgeous Fish & Beautifull day

[@simplefishingwithjay]

Awesome video, always my favorites! Your alligator gar videos helped me start my journey catching dinosaurs , got me a few 3ft to 5' 8" gar but haven't got a 6fter yet. Gonna try one more time this year! Thanks for all the work, education and dedication!

[@AlanSloan88]

Interesting concept, pounds by the sound when gars surface. You have super powers.

[@ArloCameron-ug3fd]

Another great catch brother, take care of yourself 🙏

[@soldier715]

Awesome job man.

[@Sydneyslotsking]

You're crazy 👍 unbelievable vid 😂

[@madtownangler]

As soon as I discover circle hooks from halibut fishing back in 1991 that is about all that I have used for anything bigger than ten pounds mostly catfish. I was using them before they "discovered" them at the In-Fisherman videos. I was using the saltwater version that didn't eventually go bad and rust luckily I never lost fish

Wow! One of the first ten views! I love your video!

GREAT action! 🔥🔥🔥💯🎣

[@diggy-d8w]

This is the footage from like 1 month ago, I do believe but there's so much thought/consideration that goes into every detail that to do justice to everything going on you almost could make a 3-4 video series out of this 1 monster catch? Like a safety video about Not dying in the mud that you're sinking in? WHAT is the Rod -n- Reel combo you're running here & line? I know that as you've grown that you've hand picked a balanced combo to suit your needs & I hope by dropping that here that I can begin to select my own combo. The largest Alligator Gar I've ever seen caught came from ditches & runoff canals like this and a few were even smaller. IT's crazy to think such a beast is cruising along in a small fairly shallow canal but these are low oxygen fish that can survive in shallow/hot & stagnant waters. You prove it over/over but you also caught fish in the street sewer I guess in the greater Houston area.... lol, the only time I've seen this sized caught was from a boat & also bow/arrows were used a few time. THe Cajun's make what's called, "Gar Balls"..... they scrape the meat off the back & it's a cottony type meat they roll into balls, add whatever spice, roll em' in flour/meal , and fry em' up .... they are good if I do say. Be safe man & I'll see ya on the next encounter. peace & GB ALL

[@splashtown2324]

re upload?

[@twotoned2774]

Another great video. Yeah, wear a knee brace. Safety first. You can't enjoy your second favorite hobby if you can't get to your fishing spots.

[@JemicoTX]

All I could think of is “smoke that gar and make some gar jerky”!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@JemicoTX that will never happen

[@taranmehta6356]

Hey wildlife don’t know if you will respond to this but have always wondered since watching. How do you end up driving home after a big gar trip. ie the dirt, gear etc. do you have spare clothes or towels etc. I know it may be a wierd question, I want to catch gar, I have my own car, just don’t want to get too dirty. I want to fish on the brazos near Bryan college station. Need to get carp tho so may have to travel to Houston my spots the creeks and bayous. Need to check out if the ground is sinking mud like in the video. Also need to buy leader and small bait hooks. I have two setups, a 6000 and 8000. Will I be ok, or may have to chase them along the bank w the rod.

Look into Dr Barret Brown out of Texas orthopedics on Fannin st. in Houston. Top Dr list, he fixed my left knee up!
