That fish was literally alive when World War II started.
He was vibing in WWII
She was probably around during World War 1.
Alligator gar life expectancy is about fifty years
@@ifnhuosrs2876
Actually, gar can live longer than that, its on average a 50 year life expectancy. Heck, the world's biggest alligator gar was estimated to be in its 90s before a fisherman killed it accidentally pulling it up in his net. Meaning the fish could've lived longer.
Sadly he was not
That alligator gar looks like a mosasaurus. No joke lol
TurtleLady more like a kronosaur or tylosaurus
paul bowman r/imverysmart
Gars are prehistoric fish.
paul bowman a tylosaur is a type of mosasaur mr.bigbrain
Wait until we find an actual mosasaur 😂
You literally caught a dinosaur, I'm so jealous lol. Respect for not harming her too.
Octavious Splevinski
Goofy ahh name
Dude mad props, not only you landed that monster but respected it while you did it.
Dude I can hear your heart pumping, literally lol.
wenoobsyeah
Hell yea man!!! I thought it was just me hearing stuff!!
Homie is shaking. Who wouldn't.

KuroReanimation that’s just wind noise
you are so right about alligator gar not being trash fish to me they are one of the greatest fish to ever live before us and also have a great upcoming summer
Ive always wondered how anyone could look at that mouth and call em a trash fish.
That is a trash fish, there so many of them and they eat all the fish, plus they have no benifit to the wildlife, but still cool
jimmy hintz
They don’t eat all the fish: the diet of alligator gar is composed mostly of stuff like big gizzard shad and bullheads, not bass or such. Also there are a lot less of them than there used to be.
Also, a 200+lb fish that puts up an impressive and often acrobatic fight on the line is definitely a worthy adversary for an angler.
@@jimmyhintz8850 not trash dude they put up a good fight are one of the biggest native fish in tx, eat a lot of invasive fish species and do taste amazing when cooked right .
@@chungin955 how the tables have turned...
The predator has now became the prey
Who came here after seeing the baby's?
I saw the babies fed with minnows and thought this kind of fish would be 30 cm max at adult size...
Me
Xenovalence omg wtf me
me
Meeee
It's crazy how passive they actually are you can hold em and even mess with them and once they see your not a threat they're generally very passive
I think it was acting like that because it was exhausted. I doubt it’d be that chill normally dunno though. Still, very cool animal.
It was tired as F bro! It pulled around a fishing boat and a couple dudes with a hook in it's mouth.
92 inches long
42 inches girth
about 227 pound
and 80 to 90 years old?
omg 😱😱😱
80, 90 years .... I dont think so..
joseph thadeus no that sounds about right p. 70 to 85 i think
Older than my grandpa.
Sounds like my schlong 👀👀👀 except for 80-90 years😂😂💀
I think that’s a dinosaur
Very cool to hear younger folks such as yourself that enjoy the outdoors.....specifically fishing and tuned into wildlife conservation. I wish you the best of luck and popularity on your youtube channel. BTW Incredible catch !!
This isn't as rare as you think. The internet and media has tricked you.
Kabob L-Brewster wtf
@@dumbass8465 he was saying that its rare for younger people to be outdoorsmen/women and it isn't. Everything you see on the TV and internet makes you believe that every young person is some scrub who does nothing,but sits on their phone 24/7. Sure there is lots of them, there is also a ton of us who would rather be outside.
@@kabobl-brewster1612 what's... Outside...
How old are you lmao
Isn't this fish a candidate for some of the "lake monsters" people see?
That thing DOES look prehistoric and I can see how you could mistake it for a monster if you didn't know better. There's just not many fish like this!
AvengerII
There used to be stories of these guys attacking people, but they’re probably attacks by actual alligatorsz
@@bkjeong4302 yeah gar never attack humans
These "lake monsters" are said to be at least 10x the size of this. People aren't stupid, so I'll take their word for it.
They are prehistoric
Old as or older than the dinosaurs
Man, watching her rise from the depths and just seeing how massive she was...wow. What a sight. Congrats on finding her!
You caught the beast that Jeremy Wade sought after XD. His catch was ~130lbs if I remember correctly.
Jeremy wouldve been proud.
@@Scazoid he's not dead you know
Jeremy wage inspired me. Catching such a big gar is my dream
The fact that there's monsters that size hiding in water that murky is freaky! Great work to all involved!
AWwww, look at the little baby (trinity and the other small gar)
Now look at the big baby
Huge alligator gar: *wah*
Pizza Abby omg I get the reference 😂😂😂
Meep Music ye 😂😂
+Hears the bit about a big baby+ BIG BABY!? LEMME SEE-- never mind.
Ngentot
4:27 Can actually hear your heart pounding dude! Wicked catch, that’s insane.
Pretty sure that sound is water lapping against the flat bottom boat...
@@danmclean7375 pretty sure its not water.
If that’s his heartbeat, he’d be dead 😂 hearts don’t pump that slow bro
@@Solar_StarVolt15 guess im dead then, my heart is pumping slower... if you have a higher heart beat than the dude in the video, you should probably go do some cardio.
It looks like a Mosasaurus, also, MUST PROTECC.
looks like a damn pokemon
Tf kind of Pokémon do you play?
lol
@@ScoutTrooperTK fckin hell 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao I just said this out loud
@@ScoutTrooperTK things a straight gyarados a milotic 🤣
Great job, both of you. Especially proud of the young man that caught this gar. I'm from Texas, very close to the Trinity river and although I have not seen one this big I have been told of the monster gar that call the Trinity home
imagine this...
If an ancient fish like that lived 100 million years old. And we are witnessing it still alive today...
Truly, what lies beyond the depths of the ocean as we speak?
no that fish did not live for a 100 million years, its species did
Thank you for your efforts to spread awareness about the Alligator Gar... That's one big behemoth of a specimen bro... Great work.
Harsha Rao cc v
First time i became aware of these was on a canoeing trip. Someone had shot one and left its corpse on the river bank. I had never seen anything like it and seeing you be so respectful and passionate is a breath of fresh air. Keep at it, man 🤙
People:I walk my dog
These guys; I walk my alligator gar
Went to the Trinity River today with a friend, 3/12/21 and was told about this so called alligator gar. First time I have ever heard of one! Absolutely beautiful fish, thank you for not killing it and putting it back!
Awesome video, you guys really handled that fish like pros! Dude, I saw your leg trembling when you were driving the boat, that was cool!
You could reel in a ten pound bass with that rod and not even feel it
ClogNog Don’t forget not only the weight by the force and the muscle of the animal, that rod is strong
ClogNog doro
Dude watching your channel makes me want to those things, keep making these videos and showing how you love nature I wish there were more people like you.
Good catch gotta love the Trinity river and she was beautiful
LEVEL UP! You are No longer the Fish Whisperer, you are now The Fish DOminator! awesome catch dude!
I get to that area every so often and I'm going to look that guy Henry up and hire him to help me catch some dinosaurs!
That Gar you caught was HUGE !
Me. Gusta
I’ve loved Alligator Gars since I was 5. I remember going to Seaworld just excited to see the alligator gars. I just found your channel and this makes me so happy 😁
Feed that gar another chunk of meat for being such a GOOD BOY!
Who else came from Gohan the Husky xd
Thomas Zhang
That beast could have had 2 men and a boat if it tried.
No, I dislike gohan videos due to how his owners flaunt financial status by feeding a dog 100 plus dollar cuts of meat for views and likes when other pets and humans are starving around the planet. Nothing against the dog.
MegaPerson012345 that’s capitalism, he chooses how he can spend his capital and from the likes, I can tell that many people like his choice.
Lur sehat
@@thomaszhang3101 Capitalism is flawed as hell
I'm sure on hookset my heart would skip a beat and a split second later I would be 180 beats a minute! I'd be smilin' like a jack ass eating thistles! Congratulations! Awesome video Thanks!
At th-cam.com/video/NaKohMbQKQg/w-d-xo.html , the camera actually picks up his heart beating. ;) It's around 200bpm.
you right xD
That was legendary... I love Gar, but did not expect that they get that big!!!!
So awesome! I'm getting up at 5:30 in the morning & going fishing in the Atchafalaya 💜 it's like my favorite thing to do! & it's so beautiful. The scenery, fish, birds, EVERYTHING! It never gets old...
I think it’s funny I watched this on Tik Tok then wanted to see more gar get caught and your video is the first one that pops up on TH-cam haha
The moment it came up it looked like a giant torpedo.......
WOW, what a catch, congratulations on catching this magnificant fish!
Good gosh! That thing is a massive beast! Definitely one of the biggest gator gar I’ve ever seen! Nice catch man!
I wasn't expecting to see someone catching a baby mosasaur today.
Awesome catch!! Glad to see how gentle and respectful y'all were with her for real!! Amazing!!
Amazing video. Gar are more scared of us then we are of them. Love the conservation efforts bro keep up the great work and fish on.
4:47 the knees shaking uncontrollably with pure adrenaline. That’s what it’s all about
That… Was… The… Most… Awesomeness, and sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. Iconic care, and the professionalism of these individuals is absolutely brilliant!
Wow!
What a majestic creature!! The best part of this catch is that you released it back to grow bigger for the next time you might encounter her!!! WELL DONE GENTLEMEN!!!! :)
One of the most impressive catches I’ve seen. Jeremy Wade eat your heart out!
Incredible catch and release one of the best I’ve ever seen.
One of your best vids!!! The idea of catching a fish that lived during the WWII is overwhelming!! Great work mate.
I genuinely admire your passion, the alligator gar truly is a misunderstood fish.
WHAT A FREAKING MONSTER!!!!!
4:38 if you guys are wearing earphones. You'll hear his heartbeat pumpin
That was spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing the video with us.
Nice job, what a giant. Its awesome to see the respect for these rare fish.
HECK, that thing is massive. The heaviest fish I caught was a 2lb Rainbow Trout and you're over there pulling in 230lb monsters. Though I am fairly new to the sport myself...
Manuel Hernandez we have alligator gar this size and bigger. I love on the Sabine River below the Toledo bend dam. We have monsters here
TyzGamin I couldn't agree more. I always scale my perch first. Seems to save some time before setting the hook. But who knows, it all depends on the fish. Sometimes they take it quick, and sometimes they dont
A 5-pound largemouth bass in the Northeast is considered a monster, whereas in Florida and the Deep South, they're quite common. From where I live (Southeastern Pennsylvania) the only gar fish we have is the longnose gar and they can only be found in the Nanticoke River on the Delmarva Peninsula from my location.

Love the vids man!!
That was an awesome catch my brother. You did great. 👍👍👍
That's one rad prehistoric beast! A living fossil even because I've heard they are the same as back then.
Woah, that's so cool! I caught this on a video game. I'm glad you didn't kill the fish.
Dude that gar was huge! Cant wait to see your Gar grow :)
it's safe in his pants..
That is fantastic! So interesting. I was looking for something else when I ran across your video. Thank you for sharing..
You are crazy! That was a huge gar. I am just amazed at how good a fisherman you are.. Thanks for this amazing video..👍👍👍👍
Never even heard of a alligator gar till yesterday and I'm 40 years old
Me too sir
They exist. I've caught them back home in Louisiana. I've hooked ones as big around as a light pole and about 6 ft long..bout 17 yrs ago.
Incredible man-love your ethics, true conservation attitude
the fish whisperer i love your videos your are my favorite youtuber fisherman that was a huge big alligator gar you caught in 2020 i caught a 12 pound longnose gar but never a 230 pound alligator gar
Glad you released it.Great fishing👍.amazing fish
"There's gar this big out there?"
Ice Cube,probably
Wow, is all I can say! Check that off your list!
Awesome catch! Like the movie "Big Fish". Glad you let it go!
Fantastic!!! Love the ending monologue!! :)
WOW! Absolutely amazing!
That’s one of my dream fish to catch. Someday I will make it down there and get me one. Amazing fishing video.
Just don't kill it
So beautiful 😍❤️ thank you for releasing this beauty
When I was very young, I went fishing with my dad’s uncle (we just called him Uncle) in east Texas, and I can’t remember what we were fishing for, but I had hooked a gar on accident. I thought it looked really cool when I got it to shore, but Uncle told me that they were trash fish and acted like they were vermin. To this day I still find them to be the most fascinating fish, and still wish I could go back to that moment cause it’s actually the only time I’ve ever caught a gar; I mean it was tiny, but still
@ 5:36 you can hear your heart thumping lol. Brilliant!
James Thom you right I could hear it too
Alligator gar are amazing, I love how they look. I always wanted a rocket gar in my aquarium, mini version.
I've caught a 4 incher with a cast net..... beautiful. Wasn't prepared to keep it as a pet. Wanted to badly 😂
This was the best video. Thank you
It’s lovely to see your care for these magnificent fish.
Well done bro! I very much appreciate you view of conservation first, then participate in the harvest next!
Tim G bagus
What part of the river is this
Plot twist: after he frees the fish it turns back around and takes him down
You’re an inspiration. Your parents must be proud. Totally awesome video.
Brother, that is one huge alligator gar! I hope I can catch one that size
I’ve got alligator gars in the river near my house. I’ve caught a small one, but I caught the biggest one, which was about 15 pounds, at lake Norman.
WOW !!! Thks for the great video. Your a good young man .
Wow! I recently got an Alligator Gar for my pond. Just seeing one that size is amazing. Must have been a surreal experience! Liked and Subscribed!
Absolutely incredible. I sit here in awe of that dinosaur of a fish. And when you hit 200K subscribers, which is going to happen very soon, I'll toast to you, friend. You deserve it!
Thank you!!
He's almost at 200k
.
L
He’s over 1 mil now
Holy crap 230LB That’s a beast
Hella excited you let her go. Congratulations on your work and efforts.
OMG THAT IS INSANE THAT YOU CAUGHT THAT GIANT ALLIGATOR GAR! Good job👍👍👍👍
This is amazing! I came for turtles but am definitely staying for the gars!

Shubham

Hey bro how've you been? Oh I'm good I'm just taking my ginormous dinosaur fish for a walk.
First time watching a alligator gar video, I’m amazed what is that thing. Also the fact that it’s a catch & release even more respect.
Its a beautiful thing to watch this dinosaur being released👍👍👍👍👍
Wow. Wow. Thanks for doing what you are doing. These are not trash fish. Wow. I live in McKinney and this weekend I’ll probably head down to Fort Worth and hope in that river and catch myself a monster. I will respect and safely handle the fish.
Thank you! I’m glad you agree with me!
THANKS FOR THE CATCH AND RELEASE
But not with illegals!
Love it man great video from the tiny little gar in the Fishtank to this Big old freak of life awesome
