Alligator gar are a native species of the Southern United States and have remained virtually unchanged -teeth and all - for over 100 million years! If you catch one of the seven members of the gar family, remember to release it quickly and safely!

Love your channel, My son and I are gar fishing all over the north Houston area, your techniques have been very helpful, we have yet to land a monster but after seeing your videos thats what were after.. you have reinvigorated my love for fishing after 10 years.

It's awesome how such beautiful fish can live in such diverse locations. Great video, hoping this weather starts to clear up soon but it looks like the next few days will be rough. Can't wait for the next video!

Hey man, I got a spot for ya. I grew up in the northwest side of Houston. There is a cool fishing spot by a creek surrounding a neighborhood called Cutten Green (it's right by 11 below brewery). Since I grew up there, I caught multiple types of fish there. It's worth checking out!

I think it is impossible for you to upload as much as I would like. The channel is awesome. I have not seen a video that made me disappointed from your channel. I even share the channel to friends who fish. Keep it up, stay hydrated. Looking forward to the next video.

I sat in on a seminar with Lance Armstrong's hydration powder called "scratch labs". One thing worth noting that you may not be aware of is that you need a certain amount of sugar to cross the blood brain barrier. their lemon lime powder is probably the best electrolyte powder I've ever had, and I've had most of the ones available in Texas and Colorado bc my wife runs the healthy living department at an HEB, and before that she worked for Whole Foods doing the same job for 12 years. The Bucked Up brand actually has a really good orange mango powder as well that we buy when the heb healthy living department does their quarterly 25% off everything sale.

@@wildlifefishingshow well they also make regular baseball hats that are camouflaged that have a camouflaged netting that comes down over your face and neck. These hats are used for turkey hunting to disguise your eyes and everything else because turkeys have Excellent eyesight and can see your eyes move or when you open your mouth or whatever little movement your face makes. One of those would work well and be much cheaper. I've used one before and it worked very well.

I can never land a gar. They have such bony mouths. I've seen people use a short length of nylon rope that they've brushed out as a lure. The gar's teeth get snagged in the rope almost like velcro. I haven't had luck with that either but I think it's the presentation.

@wildlifefishingshow Ай бұрын

That definitely works on the smaller species. How to hook a gar depends entirely on what species you're talking about. What you can and can't do changes dramatically between smaller and larger varieties.
