One of the few KZbin fishermen that actually cares about the well being of the animals and their environment. Definitely book a trip if you can.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Much appreciated 🙏

My favorite spot when I'm on my break from working! And that's all thanks to you. I won't give up the location

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I'm pretty sure everyone knows where this is lol

@@suzannebox9257 you'd be surprised... When I leave work and tell them where I'm going they never believe me lol

[@Flahmas]

It's so impressive what you're able to pull out of the city bayous! Without the knowledge and understanding of the city's structure and fish's behavior most people couldn't do it. So glad that you are going to be doing the guided trips and hopefully it my schedule alignes I could get out there with you! Great video!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 🙏

I love the sound of braid being stripped off

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's a fantastic, almost laser gun sound

[@tadhghayden7601]

That was a cool bit of maneuvering really. When you fish intelligently you can go light like that with such animals. Wish I lived more local to ya..

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, it's a lot of fun

[@housatonicfreestyle3308]

Just an observation I made as you fought that fish: I have read many times that supporting your rod above the handle with your free hand, as you did, changes the rods dynamics and could easily end with a broken rod. You’re the expert fighting these fish so I’m sure you know what you’re doing.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

That's definitely true. I've found you can put a hand under as a brace at moments but you gotta be careful

[@tsumello06]

Great work. You gave that fish the business!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, he gave me a serious run for my money on that light tackle

[@jakegreener8774]

I had to move to AZ from Texas for work and man do I miss the gar fishing 😢 I had the Trinity and Brazos only a short drive from me and now I'm stuck fishing for carp and catfish in the city canals. Just doesn't do it for me.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I've always wanted to fish those canals out there, they look really cool

[@jakegreener8774]

@wildlifefishingshow They are cool. They're just not texas cool lol. I've got one just outside my back yard fence. There are some pretty big carp that put up a good battle and some canals have giant catfish. There was a kid who caught an 80# flathead a few years back. I guess any fishing is good fishing! If I can't fish for gar I'm gonna watch you do it!

[@fishing_fam84]

Another great video. 👍

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, I liked filming this one

[@cheza7061]

Good luck with your new Guided trips!!🍀 If I wasn't in England I would love to experience catching gar and other massive fish. 😎🎣🐟

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 🙏 I definitely intend to get out that way eventually

[@stevenyoung7395]

What's up how are you. I'm getting ready to get my gear together for Gar fishing. In your opinion what is the best rod and reel for big gar

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Depends on a lot. Do you prefer spinning or multiplier reels?

[@gtf2584]

i assume theres monster cats there as well

At the moment, I'm just doing trips until the end of April

[@BigBiteMafiaTV]

@@wildlifefishingshow Bummer.. I'll definitely be booking if you do any in the future!

[@christianwilliams8967]

I fish urban river spots up here in Colorado there always super unique and seem to hold all kinds of different fish you wouldn’t expect

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I remember my first time up there I caught a rainbow trout in a very unassuming city ditch. It was pretty cool.

[@juniorsalazar8206]

what reel is being used in this video and how much drag does it have?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's an Abu Garcia C-4 6501. I think it has 15 pounds of drag.

[@paulmaul2186]

Doesn't the city have cleanup days for those canals?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

They primarily do that in the larger bayous where they can pilot boats in and out. They tend to focus on surface level garbage, though, not really the sunken and buried stuff.

[@BogMan7L]

That would be the task of the Harris County Flood Control District and the USACE. It's never happened that I know of in the sixty years the bayous were channelized.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@BogMan7L yeah, the amount of stuff down there would legitimately require an industrial level project to remove

Incredible "animal" ?? You seem like a good fisherman, why waste your time in that polluted garbage "bayou" ditch? Take yourself below the Houston dam for big catfish or the beach for a variety of fish you can keep and eat. ...within regulations.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I am a (very) good fisherman, and I'm fascinated by animals and how they carve out a niche for themselves in man made environments. I have absolutely zero interest in eating these fish. And yes, fish are animals, and this is a bayou.

[@BogMan7L]

Below the dam is a no-no for consumption.
