This Is Why You Throw BIG BAITS In City Water!

Most people aren't aware that lurking right under their city sidewalks and skyscrapers, you ca find river monsters! Using huge cut baits and heavy duty rods and reels, I go after some of Houston's underwater dinosaurs!

I like how seasoned fishermen have a pretty good idea what they have caught long before the fish has been seen.

[@batboy3086]

Most of it is due to the bait you are using but sometimes simply how they are fighting

[@KatiTheButcher]

@@batboy3086 I have to kind of disagree with you. I've caught largemouth on shad gizzards and channel cats on rapala rattle traps.

Heck yes nice Gar! Thumbs up on the stylish haircut as well 😎

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it

[@johnnevin7759]

I have a couple of questions for you P. What is the leader line you are using? It looks like cordage or a thin rope? I did notice you did not do your normal wait until the Gar stops to eat the bait and when he runs again set the hook. I assume you were concerned with how much line he was taking with his first run, so you set early? Finally If you ever get a scale off of a big Gar show it off to the camera. I have gotten Tarpon Scales, redfish scales and others and would like to compare to what a large Gar has for armor. Thanks!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

The leader is 500lb Dupont kevlar braid. Really good stuff. Sometimes the fish will eat the bait while swimming. I find if they maintain their original direction and speed without angling off for some time, they are probably going to swallow it while running. I was also worried about it running under that barge.

@@mobiledragon3449 I’m getting a 6’6 ugly stick rod from academy. What size of reel should I get if I intend on fishing for largemouth, sand trout and redfish. Also what kind of line should I get?

[@mobiledragon3449]

@@hendrix6516 20lb braid should work great for those fish, and a 4000 size penn spinning reel should do well, though you might want to downsize for bass a little and get a 3500, so you get the best of both worlds for saltwater. If you go to your nearest bass pro or cabelas, they should spool up your reel for you. Watch some tutorials on KZbin because that’s how I learned how to fish. One last thing for saltwater use something called a Carolina rig. You can look it up on google, and it works good for most saltwater species and even freshwater catfish. Edit: maybe get a 3000 if you’re doing more bass fishing, so you can get a better fight out of them. You should still be able to handle redfish and trout with you’re drag set right. Also for saltwater get circle hooks and 20 pound clear line for rig making. Sorry for long comment 😂

[@nickdad852]

How do you decide when to use a float or not? When you see surface activity?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's usually when I'm fishing slow current with a lot of snags. The float is primarily to help me determine how to navigate those snags.

[@nickdad852]

@@wildlifefishingshow that makes perfect sense. Recently I was fishing long nose gar in clear water and noticed they were hesitant to pick anything up off the bottom. They preferred a floating bait or anything they could look up at. It made me think of your floats so I figured I'd ask. Thanks man!
