Thanks for watching this video with me and Ty The weird "strange rock" was a iron concretion with Boytroydal limonite Can see allot more of the fish underwater than i figured you would be able too

I’m glad you enjoyed that, but seeing all those chases and failed hook ups was driving me insane

I've caught some impressive trees in my time, sir

Another great video Ty...I love that no matter how many giants you catch or have caught, you still get just as excited about every potential fish!

You need to let them eat the lure for a few seconds longer , especially the larger ones

Talk about having the right friends lol I need more friends like yours!

Great video. Watching your clearly genuine excitement catching fish brings back memories of time gone by. Keep enjoying yourselves.

Omg. The first time I caught an alligator gar, I was about 10 years old and had zero idea that they existed. I was on a boat in the bayou, I reeled it in, a kid so I'm close to the water and then alligator jaws popped up and I threw the whole pole. 🤦😂😂😂 I thought my uncle would never stop laughing. 😂😂😂😭😭😭 (Guess it was a cheap pole lol)

when those long nosed types of fish slap at your lure, kill the action. They expect baitfish to be stunned by them swinging their nose and then they'll take it.

I love seeing you two fish together. Good team and it's so nice to have a fishing buddy and know what you have. Frame that lure with the tooth in it. What a trophy! Always good fish too.

Finds something strange in a place with fossils. "Can i break it?" Every Archeologist ever: *JackieChanWTF.jpg*

Dude what a blast… I’ve been sight fishing for smallmouth, largemouth, pannies, and even bowfin, but never have I yelled “It’s a 5-footer!” while doing so. What a beautiful day with a friend. And the fossils just make it even better!

That looked like a lot of fun. Your enthusiasm is great. And contagious 😅. Sight fishing is like hunting with a reel. Best of both worlds

Those chunks of petrified wood look so much like some of the pieces of wood I turn into objects of art on my lathe! Oh, yeah.... and the fishing was way cool!

Wow cool seeing that big snapping turtle

Very cool! Some guys will be looking for fishing like that and never find it. You guys are blessed

Even if you don’t catch em, just seeing them and having them follow the bait is super exciting! Thanks again Ty!✌️And you’re into fossil hunting too. Join the crowd.

Those big fish are so quick and so smart! In the blink of an eye that thing snapped on the WP and instantly knew it didn't like it!

Very fun and full of great footage. Thanks again Ty. Keep hanging with the big girls. Gods speed to ya bud 👍🇺🇸

Sight fishing is the best. even if you don't catch them. If you can get them to strike, that is the best feeling ever. Great video.

GAR FISHING WITH LURES IS THE BEST! You don't get many in the boat, yet the action can be terrific. This video brings back memories of an Everglades, Florida fishing trip I went on many years ago.

That was fun to watch. 🙌

I've seen a lot of videos online but the site fishing in this was spectacular. Awesome video!

You guys keep rocking, so quite in the 🎣... 😉

Lmao feel like a crack head “Look Look Look Over There “He Still There Right ?” Great video had a blast watching !!!

Nothing like fishing and rock hounding.2 great hobbies.id like to know more about those rocks.once i stumbled on to a jaspertised tree that exposed its self during low water while fishing.to big to move of course but was an awesome find.really liking the size of those gar in that river.great video.

Looks like a ton of fun. Thanks again

OOH YEAH CONGRATULATIONS TO Y'ALL BOTH TOGETHER👏

Petrified wood is awesome, great find. Those fish were awesome to watch.

That reel sounds sick dude

2:42 thank me

Done watching my friend,, thank you for sharing,stay connected godbless

Shred up about 6”to 8 “ nylon rope and tie it on-No hooks needed. Awesome stuff as always, Ty🤙🏻

good to see felo fishos taging fish..good onya guys.

I do enjoy your videos!!

Oh wow, fishing and cool rocks, my favourite combo, although mainly agates where I am. Awesome.

Geologist here (also like to fish), the fossil tree with rings would be nice slab at about 1 inch thick and polished. But that will definitely take a stone saw with water because it formed when molecules of quartz substituted for the wood to make the hard fossil. So it is harder than most granite. So it is very hard stuff. Before I would buy any of that equipment (if u don't already have) you can buy polished slabs on ebay. For me this video was awesome mix of fossil trees and 2 species of living fossil fish.

Great vid Ty .... watchin from New Zealand 😎

Great video! 🏆👊🏽🐗

Love seeing monsters. About 20 years ago I lived on a small brackish lake in N.Miami Beach. Would do night fishing in my 18’ deep v with my dad. Floating live mullet. Caught a log, or so I thought. Dead weight for an hour on 25 lb test. Got it alongside the boat and it was a massive gar, as long as the boat, beak about 2’ long and 2” scales! There are hidden giants out there for sure. Oh, released the old dud unharmed.

If you're reading this post trust me this is one of the best fisherman on KZfaq you want to see monster fish caught this is the man to watch he is the fish whisperer when it comes to catching monster fish don't believe me go back and watch some visso videos and you'll see what I'm talking about you want to see giant fish caught this is the channel to watch

Glad to see I'm not the only fish nerd. Ichthyology is definately a career I would consider.

so cool to see you guys collecting rocks/fossils while fishing. I thought I was the only one who did that..lol

This was so freaking dope! I've been catching longnose on a ned rigged hellgrammite in a local creek. So much fun

What a fun video. Always expect you to catch big fish and this was a really cool one without catching them. Really enjoyed the exploring the scrounging area. Keep doing that in future videos

Henry is a Dinosaur catching MACHINE 💪💪

Haven't read all of the comments but we've had excellent luck with hook-less frayed nylon cord as lures. Just the cheap white with pink cord from HD. We attached to swivels with braided line and use fluro leader. 🤠

4:08 looks like your boat was still buffering

This was amazing looked like a blast

You guys are the Kings when y'all fish together for them gar

We spent a night trying to catch long-nose that way. It is a blast to have them striking and following all night long, even if you don't get them in. When I was wading in coves as a kid, I used to catch gar on prop baits on Lake Fort Phantom. Great memories.

You should try a frayed yarn lure! No hook needed. Their teeth get hung up in the yarn.🎣

Looks like a great place for bow fishing!!

I don't know why but those fish give me the heebie-jeebies. I hate catching them. But once again awesome video

Happy weekend,.👍👍👍

Yooo took a hiatus for a while got hooked on other video but now im addicted to watching fishing again. Great video as always ty, nice fishin. Keep it up, tight lines brother

Addicted to your channel, after watching many of your vids I've got to say it holds true that eveything is bigger in Texas! Avid fisherman from Ohio.

Early crew!

u all are better rock finders then fish catchers! thanks for the vid!

These fish are monsters!

I love how excited and happy the good catches make you guys get! 😁

I'm just glad that I'd he catches it he sets it free☺️

You can make a home made lure from rope to catch those it's really easy 🙂 but awesome vid as always 😉

Wow amazing nice

Oh I’ve got to see if I can get down there and do that now just once great video brother y’all be safe and GOD BLESS

Gotta love whopper ploppers👊

I love your videos and I wish I could be fishin with you!

I love your enthusiasm and excitement on every cast it makes the video that much more better and fun... awesome video as always bro

Hi boys. Great video, thanks.

Great video my friend!!! Hope you have a wonderful day. Greetings from Poland

Another great video. I need to come to Texas lol. I'd give it two thumbs if I could.

Man that was awesome Ty and with the petrified wood . Good fishing and a good find on the wood so cool

Love yalls videos man. You and Henry are a great duo !

Awesome

Such an awesome video man

Fun one to watch! Can’t wait for you to somehow pull off a 7 fter on a whopper plopper

Eastern Texas is an alluvial plain, so this is typical of east Texas rivers. Since the terrain is so flat, the rivers, especially in the eastern half of the state, have extremely little current unless there had been a recent rain, and are therefore often quite muddy. However, these rivers are home to some impressive fish.

I love to see you guys go back and use live bait. Carp, Gizzard shad or mullet. Steal leaders and barbless hooks for easy release.

Good video

Fun!! maybe like a soft frog lure better have alot of them tho lol. Great stuff tho👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Joyous fun!

Wow good video, I could see everything.👍

Thats so cool finding the petrified wood.

When ur going after gar like that, take a piece of frayed string or carpet and tie it to ur bait. Gar teeth are slightly serrated causing them to get hung up on the string. It doesn't hurt them, but you'll more hook ups.

I've commented before and this time is no different. I just have to, dude your the absolute master in my eyes of just manimalizing a fish. Grabbing it trebles and all to get it on board. But to watch you "try" and set your hook well it's all kinds of excitement, on your behalf. Of I remember correctly the fish should have hook set in its mouth then what like a ninja you drive the hook home as it was an manuver done while blind folded. I think today's sets, one hit you bud in the forehead and another had a set of gar lips on the hook nothing else. I went to feeling tickled , thanks

I remember as a child giving fishing shows a chance (repeatedly) and being so incredibly bored. You never really saw anything, the camera angles were bad. The hokey added music and stuff was terrible. They had no real personality. I despised fishing shows. I'm not sure if it's you or the go pro or what, but this.. makes me really miss fishing. This was *fun* to watch.

Another banger man! Nice catch! 🔥🤠

1:48 Actually that's a Alligator Gar! I love those things!

The petrified 🪵 was cool

Wow

I think its the absence of the "right" smell that prevents them from striking..they swim behind and sniff and then break off but glad to see that the gar is far from extinct..the thought of people (reportedly) going after them with bow and arrow and do away with large numbers of these fish just for sport....well, fishing is also "just for sport" but it is not lethal and leads to understanding this unique habitat which leads to ..hopefully... protecting it You KNOW this world needs to turn a corner in this lifetime.

You should try a Musky rubber Tiger Tube for those. Something they can grab onto and hold onto might work better.

more awesome adventure ...

Nice Vid man keep it up!

That’s wild

great images!

Try a figure 8 when the fish follow your lure right up to the boat. That was pretty exciting watching those gar follow your lure. And talk about petrified wood! That alone was a great catch! Great video. I look forward to each time you post. From Utah to Texas, tight lines and may God bless you each and every single day!!

It's really important to practice catch and release with this of this size the Trinity River in Texas is one of the few places where anglers can still catch fish this large it's important to practice catch and release.

You should go to the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, TX. They have a huge petrified tree that was compressed by the sedimentary layers before it petrified. Plus sooo many other mind-blowing artifacts!!

I’ve never caught a gar. I caught a grinnel once about 40 years ago. It was the first and last time I ever caught or saw one of those prehistoric looking fish.
