What a great gar video to come back from after some amazing sturgeon. That gar was a beauty and I really do enjoy it when you show yourself catching the bait and showing your fishing gear. You've been making amazing videos and I can't wait for the next one.
@@wildlifefishingshow I came back to the video to watch again and tell you I switched my name from "KD P" to "Flahmas" and I see you just got the verified check. I swear that wasn't there like a couple hours ago but congratulations. Hopefully, that allows people to find your channel and videos much more.
I started throwing big bait’s about a year ago because of your channel I got less fish but I had way better quality fish I even caught a 81.66 pound catfish because of throwing a half of a bug mullet couldn’t have been happier with it
Just went on my first fishing trip ever with my girlfriends dad and I couldn’t believe how fun it was. I’m hooked. Already looking online to get my first rod n reel. Love your channel. Please Lmk if your ever in houston I’d love to join !
Please get a spinning reel, they just are so much better than spin cast and you will not regret it. Get a daiwa samurai, they are thirty bucks of of Dick’s sporting goods and last a long time, they also come in varying lengths and weights so you can fit it to your style
@@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?
@@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 TH-cam 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 😂
Well, I can see how if you are tossing a 15 foot diameter net, it might be handy to use a full circle before tossing. 10 foot diameter, most likely not necessary.
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!
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.
@@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!
I bought myself a cast net and took it out once and may have (or may not have, it could’ve grown legs and ran off) left it at the river and am too broke to afford another one, love the videos though
@@wildlifefishingshow oh yes 100% I’m sticking with a worm or a hotdog piece under a bobber for bait from now on, fast net law in my area is stupid strict anyway
Wow Payton this fish is amazing and beautiful I would really want this in my house personal fish pond but I am just afraid that it will eat too much meat which my father don’t like and U can also come to Malaysia and go to the big water dam there has a lot of most aggressive snakehead species.I haven’t caught one but I am aiming to get one this year
lmfao yeah, im big into reels and rods etc so if i see something that catches fish im likely to get one, ima probably get a 50w soon cus i got a 30 for a rod and its a little small but yeah lol, thanks for the headsup but yeah lol
My canal like the one you would cast net in is the same but not as wide it has catfish 2 to 8 feet gar from what I seen and average bass is 5 pounds with the perch being about 3 inches
Dream of mine to go to america and catch a aligator gar will probably never happen. We have mullets in Aus also, not after your spots just wondering what part of America are you fishing ?
I'm in Houston, Texas. If you ever get the opportunity to head over this way, definitely give it a go. Alligator gar fishing is currently, in my opinion, at an all time high in regards to the expertise of guides, fish care, and the likelihood of catching a record.
@@wildlifefishingshow sounds good yeah reseached about them in texas area love texas blues a slide player a friend had a house in the delta. Keen id probably spend a few week hunting alone get good fish over here. Pretty keen for a gar cheers for sharing 👍
Absolute beautiful alligator gar man. On a side note how would one go about getting ahold of you I know some incredible gar spots in our area that I've never seen you fish would like to let you in on locations
@gregweber9575 this will sound like it's not insightful or helpful, but the very best thing you can possibly do is just start creating videos ASAP. It's so much easier to develop every skill in the book once you get started, but getting started is the key. Doesn't have to be the best videos or even what you're picturing in your head at the moment, just anything.

I like how seasoned fishermen have a pretty good idea what they have caught long before the fish has been seen.
Most of it is due to the bait you are using but sometimes simply how they are fighting
@@batboy3086 I have to kind of disagree with you. I've caught largemouth on shad gizzards and channel cats on rapala rattle traps.
@@KatiTheButcher i caught a pike on dough, fishing for bait fish
Caught a 5 pound pike on a size 1 mepp for trout

I’m a river striper fisherman and this such a fun way of fishing, love the video
Much appreciated 🙏

The sturgeon flashback was crazy
It's amazing how much harder they fight
Great catch - and that deep olive green - or is it "British Racing Green"..? - made it extra special.👏🏻👏🏻
Dark green sports cars are the best
Diggin the new hair style. The wilderness man hair was the best though, but the new style is super clean!
I think since I've started this channel, I've gone from Jesse Pinkman to George Harrison and everything in between at some point, lol
@@wildlifefishingshow fish don't care so why should we haha. Awesome video as always man. Appreciate the work you put into entertainment
I like watching you cast net. You never know what is going to show up.
It's like pulling a rabbit from a hat, there's almost a magic trick quality to it
Looking crisp with the new haircut, I've never been able to throw a cast net very well. You make it look easy😂.
Thanks
2:41 mission failed succesfully😂
The only acceptable failure 👍
Love the new cut bro ! ! !
Thanks
Always an Adventurer. Thanks for your time.
🙏
Great to see responsible angling for these fish.
A gar that is gut hooked with a treble might swim away, but it's 100% dead.
100% accurate
I go to this spot and get small reds, he goes and gets a monster!! Story of my life, lol, keep up the good work
Nothing wrong with catching reds 🤙
This heat will get ya for sure! Still able to get out in it and land an amazing fish. Keep at it brother!
It's been difficult lately, so I appreciate it
@@wildlifefishingshow I hear that man, no problem.
Glad to see you back. Enjoyed watching those sturgeon videos.
They were fun to make
Nice catch brother . Always an Adventurer. Thanks for your time..
Heck yes nice Gar! Thumbs up on the stylish haircut as well 😎
I appreciate it
Nice casting. The power line made me nervous. If it was me I'd be all up in that power line lol
It took a lot of effort to avoid for sure
Incredible catch
Great video, love all the in-depth tips!
Thanks, man
I was fishing in goodrich texas for gars and your videos helped me land my personl best 7ft 9 alligator gar plus a 7ft gar caught them on buffalo
Awesome, that's a hell of a fish
i seen a mexican with a beer can string and hook catch a tilapia there where u were fishing
Glad to see your back is better bro
It comes and goes, I just gotta be careful with it
beautiful animal. Keep landing those prehistoric monsters
Absolutely
Beautiful dude, well done.
🙏
Booooyyyy, you're lucky to still have all your fingers sliding your hand next to the gar's mouth like that.
Cool video!
Thanks
Wonder if there's any correlation between catching gar and a haircut, lol.
Basically the Sampson effect
@@wildlifefishingshow 😆
I like your video, and wow for your fishing. Thanks so much for your shearing video. 😊
Much appreciated 🙏
Lets go. Awesome channel. 👌 go get them gar bro 💪
Mucho gracias
You just got another subscriber! Great video!
I appreciate it 🙏
Wow almost didn’t recognize you with that haircut. Looks good!!!!
Thanks 👍
Float jug lines in the bayou and use a spoon to hook and reel them in, just an idea?
Could be a cool video to chase them on a kayak...
Nice to do an oil painting of that fish..
I'm a pretty good sketch artist but oil painting is out of my wheelhouse
Good content I’ve been watching since I met you back at the Glenbrook Park
Thanks!
What a beautiful fish 😀 ...
There's nothing like that here in New Zealand
You guys have long fin eels though, I'm jealous of that
I have a good question for you, so which is better for catching fish rod or net ???? 🎣 🤔 🕸 🐟
Depends on what you're trying to catch, why, and where.
@wildlifefishingshow
Like creeks, lakes, and ponds ???? 🤔
Throwing Pancakes 🥞 👌
Until that last one

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

What size and brand is assist hook?
Nice hair cut
Thanks

Saya suka video mancing,tetapi jika sambil memasak tangkapan hasil mancing,mungkin lebih seru,salam sukses selalu.
I know that's in Houston, but which bayou? If you don't mind sharing.

Congrats got another subscriber
I caught a 6 footer in that exact spot!
Awesome
I bought myself a cast net and took it out once and may have (or may not have, it could’ve grown legs and ran off) left it at the river and am too broke to afford another one, love the videos though
Sorry to hear, they are really overpriced, to be honest
@@wildlifefishingshow oh yes 100% I’m sticking with a worm or a hotdog piece under a bobber for bait from now on, fast net law in my area is stupid strict anyway
This is just a amazing channel to watch I’ve been watching for a while now that’s beautiful gar where did u catch it
Much appreciated
This was a bayou in Houston
That is a nice gar
Thanks
Hey what is the orange watch you have called
Nice fish
Thanks!
Nice catch
Thanks
Never seen anyone throw a cast net like that before but it works
Yeah, it's weird but gets the job done
I like your haircut. You look more handsome. More videos brother
Thanks
Lovely❤
Wow Payton this fish is amazing and beautiful I would really want this in my house personal fish pond but I am just afraid that it will eat too much meat which my father don’t like and U can also come to Malaysia and go to the big water dam there has a lot of most aggressive snakehead species.I haven’t caught one but I am aiming to get one this year
I would love to visit Malaysia. Good luck on that snakehead!
Did the gar take the carp or the mullet?
Mullet
Where do you find places to cach bait like that?
This is downtown Houston
Ok I live in Houston so that good
i do a ballerina twirl at that exact spot cast netting so not impossible, just not ideal
Where is this exact location in Texas???
Hi love your videos and was wondering where do u get the fishing hooks u use from
Fishing Tackle Unlimited, Amazon, and the circle hooks are available at Walmart
Drink lots of water for hydration.
👍
Would anybody eat anything caught in those waters?
I hope not
Nice
Thanks
hallo from Greece! in which city do you fish?
Did you get a world record gar at 8'2?
It would have been at the time.
I can't believe netting is legal... how are there any fish left?
Because their are rules around netting, just like any type of fishing
Does anyone know where these spots are lol
time to watch he whole video that i watched yesterday cus i forgot if the penn senator was in the vid
It's not, lol. It was just the best photo I had on file of one of my large reels that I could use for the thumbnail
lmfao yeah, im big into reels and rods etc so if i see something that catches fish im likely to get one, ima probably get a 50w soon cus i got a 30 for a rod and its a little small but yeah lol, thanks for the headsup but yeah lol
tbh those mullets are so big id probably have caught them with a bobber and some bread
Would be fun
Yeah
My canal like the one you would cast net in is the same but not as wide it has catfish 2 to 8 feet gar from what I seen and average bass is 5 pounds with the perch being about 3 inches

Anyone in 2024?

Where are you located? Is this TX?
Yeah, Houston
bro this guy catches fish that I need a rod for with a net 😭
👍
You don’t have to spin in a circle and throw the net
I know that, it's 95% of the rest internet that doesn't
Which city is this
Houston
How many times did you rebait?
Can't remember
Hi there! Brand of this hooks please. Thx!
They are jigging assist hooks, don't know they brand
@@wildlifefishingshow Really surprised about strength of those. Whatever I usually using just go unbent or broke by such fish...
How do you know where to fish
I study maps and use trial and error.

Do you still piscifun products
You mean do I still represent that brand? No, not for a while.
@@wildlifefishingshow i meant to say do you still use their products
You absolutely do not have to do a 360 to throw a net, those people learned the hard way
100
Think ik this spot..
Brays by 288
can you keep the gar out of here?
I definitely wouldn't recommend it
Be driving down highway 80 with a 300 lb gar strapped down in the bed of your pickup:
