I set out to prove allot of the information that has been regurgitated about how to catch alligator gar over the last 40 years is outdated information bordering on out right lies.
I use a penny sized 1/0 j hook instead of the industry standard 4/0 treble hook
I also set the hook in the first 30 seconds of the run unlike the industry standard of waiting 15-20 minutes to set the hook purposefully gut hooking the gator gar we catch
There are allot of people claiming to be experts in this field (maybe myself included) who actually aren't acting how experts in a field or masters of a craft actually act.
As a master or expert in a craft your work should be peer reviewed, you should also be passing on the knowledge you have attained so its not lost for the next generations. the last mark of a master of a craft is a person who is never satisfied with their work, someone who constantly pushes the envelope to advance their craft.
I propose everything told about how to catch alligator gar is an outdated lie and we need to be open to new methods and concepts that cause little to no harm to this very species fish species.
