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

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!

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

[@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

[@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.

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

[@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

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

Cool

[@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 👊

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

[@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 ????

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

[@Ongodbruh678]

I'm sub to your patreon and I was wondering where is that first location that you get your live bait from??

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Brays bayou under 288

[@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

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%

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

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

[@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.
