This Is Why You Throw BIG BAITS In A City Bayou!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Should I make a genuine effort to break the world record alligator gar? Weight taken on camera? Yes or No, tell me why here.

[@ahumanthatbreathsoxegen1220]

Yes cus that would just be awesome

[@ethanbiesecker]

Yes if you think you have a shot only allows for an opportunity to bring more attention to a fish that needs protection.

[@ethanbiesecker]

I caught my first alligator gar in the 140-150 range in the red river. The amount of people that regularly fished there and live in north Texas that had no idea they were there is astonishing. I had to argue with people that I caught it in the red and not in Dallas or Houston.

[@coxxx185]

Only if it’s guaranteed to not do lasting damage to the fish.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@ahumanthatbreathsoxegen1220 agreed

[@joshwagner8468]

Let's go Payton. Absolutely love your channel bro. Go catch them monsters😊

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Much appreciated, I always look forward to comments from the core viewers like yourself, it's a huge mental pick-me-up

[@CorbinOutdoors]

Nice video man! Your respect and appreciation towards fish is admirable, and you are very knowledgeable as well. Well done!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it.

[@Flahmas]

Time after time you've proved that your hooking techniques are the future of alligator gar fishing Your care and concern for the species as a whole is what we need in the face of conservation and you've been doing an amazing job at educating so many people. What a video and what a beautiful fish in the heart of a city bayou!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it, I think it will catch on with time

[@olegoat6226]

Nice hawg, bro. Cool trick with the hook removal. Love the channel, man...keep 'em coming! If you're ever north of the Red River, love to buy ya a beer and talk about all the ones that got away...lol

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I will definitely take you up on that if I eventually make it out that way

[@AprendiendoApescarZZ]

I don't understand anything hahaha What's more, I wrote this comment in a translator and nothing, it was just copy and paste. But very good video despite the difficulty of the language, it is very entertaining. Greetings from Tucumán - Argentina

¡Gracias por tu apoyo! También puse esto a través del traductor de Google, así que me disculpo por cualquier error, ¡pero gracias por mirar!

[@omizoa7365]

Love the big bait content bro. Definitely entertaining. As far as catching the record gar, I see no one better to lure the monster 💪🏾. Good luck

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks!

[@illuminatidestroyerbear2231]

What a beautiful monster, yeah I like the circle hook myself and it seems to be catching on here in Florida. Great catch 👊

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I'm hoping in becomes the new standard for gar fishing

[@moriahhutcheson8060]

Love your video's

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I greatly appreciate it

[@peterderidder9922]

This Gar was verry calm , it looked he was in no panic . So I think he was caught a few times before .... seems logic to me . Annyway AGAIN a great beautiful Gar . Do you think those fish traveling arround in those waters ? ore do they stay in the same region ????

[@robertmceuen3630]

Used to level scaffolds and set them to height.

Hello sir..looking to see what baitfeeder reel u were using?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's just a Daiwa BG 5000 with the bail open, not a true baitfeeder

[@dappertharapper2484]

You sound like Randy from the trailer park Boys 😭 😂

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Not sure who that is

[@zeroqerosox1221]

what bayou is this and where at?

[@CatfishCameron]

Rod eyes ever get cut grooves from the line?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

So far, no. I have fought a 150lb sturgeon on this same rod and tested another against a moving car and neither have grooves from the line. Truly a top notch big game rod. denalifishing.com/products/bottom-feeder-series Use my code WL2022 to save 20%

[@OwenO12382]

I am a big fan and i was wondering if you have ever heard of gomexus handles for your reels, and if you would ever use one.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I haven't used them myself, but I have friends that swear by them

[@OwenO12382]

@@wildlifefishingshow same, would you ever use them, although they are expensive though

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@OwenO12382 I personally don't have a use for them

Do you eat anything you eat or do you just practice catch and release!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Catch and release 99% of the time (always with gar)

@@wildlifefishingshow it’s a leg that scaffolding slips over that adjust up and down to help level scaffolding up. We call the screw legs in the masonry business.

Hey brother can you fishing spots in katy

[@radar4545]

You should sell those Gar to Mambo seafood, just don't tell them where you catch them.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I haven't been to Mambos but from the way people talk about their food, I probably could tell them where it came from and it wouldn't change much, lol

[@ridemachines9741]

Aye bro let me come out with you i have gro pro and my own fishing equipment

[@JamesBronson-hy3rb]

The fish did not fight why is that thanks 👍

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It did initially, but what I've found is that with a lot of fish, they will match the level of pressure you put on them. If you can lead a fish around without pulling too hard, often times they will lower their level of resistance.

[@Random-hi8yi]

Red Bull run soon
