This is the first of your videos I’ve watched. Your commentary kept me interested, sharing your knowledge of equipment, fish habits, baits and rig setups were great! What got me the most was not only the respect you pay to the river but of the fish themselves. Happy fishing young man!

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup th-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Man the effort you go through and your professionalism is so impressive. Glad I get to enjoy your adventures. Thanks for sharing
@Kenya smith woahhhhh that's crazy talk
So glad I can across your channel! You're enthusiasm is amazing! Much love and respect my friend! Can't wait to binge watch you're videos!!!
Your enthusiasm is great. Reminds me of how i absolutely love everything about fishing. I still get just as excited hooking a big fish, as I did when I was a child. Great content brother
Soon as you mentioned the Brazos River it reminded me of home. Austin Texas. I now live in Tennessee nice watching your video. Missing Texas LOL what a beautiful state beautiful people. Tight lines my friend
Jen Bilbrey opposite for me I used to live in Tennessee and now I live at fort Hood and I miss TN fishing
@@Doc-zf7nc we live in Cookeville Tennessee. And I agree 100% the fishing in Tennessee is fantastic. A beautiful place.
@@jenbilbrey1089 Im kinda close, I live in Illinois, and want to move to Eastern Kentucky.
"That's why we fish! That's why we come out here, getting covered in mud and blood and guts and fish slime. In the lightning and rain. Moments like that is why we are here." That is POETRY my man. You remind me of how passionate I was when I was your age. Fish on
Love the attitude. Calm collected and educational. Earned a subscriber.
The grind is real! Awesome vid.... subscribed! Way to keep it down to earth and humble too.
You should have your own show on animal planet! This is the first video I've watched and it's like I'm watching an actually show. The commentary is way more impressive than the fishing itself!! Great job
Great video guy! Love the passion you have for fishing, nothing like hooking those alligator gar! They really are a majestic fish, keep the videos coming!
Thanks!
First time viewer, but I enjoyed watching the rugged style of fishing that you do.
First video of yours ive seen and truly glad I found your channel. U respect the environment and the fish so much it is amazing. Not to mention u obviously have a ton of knowledge about fishing in itself. Got yourself another happy subscriber here bro. Keep on casting my brother!!
I have to say buddy you do an excellent job filming by yourself. Ive tried it and its not nearly as easy as it looks, and you make it look easy. Super stoked i found your channel, love the content and your professionalism and personality are refreshing. Thanks for making an excellent channel for like minded fisherman such as myself!!!
Every time I watch your videos I can’t help but think of Ben Stiller
(Insert Zoolander spin here)
Awesome!!! What a great fishing video. Always lots to learn from and always inspiring me to get out there and fish! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy birthday! If you want to join me on the next adventure, let me know and well schedule something.
WILD LIFE , thank you very much! Evelyn told me the great news. I really appreciate it! Will talk to you soon.
Awsome video. I really had fun watching it. I catch a few alagatorgar gar when flathead fishing also. Actually I lost a good rod n reel last year because I forgot to set my drag and I had my back turned. It pulled the rod out of the holder and drug it thrugh high grass and weeds ripping roots out of the ground. In not sure what did it but it had to have been over 30 or 40 lbs. I had 50 lbs test on it. Anyway thanks for sharing. And I'm all pumped up to rip some lips lol.
Yes sir! Penn reels on ugly stiks is all you need! Ultra lite to Big Game
Good video looks like lots of fun .. I love the sounds of the wildlife in the background ... Fish on
Good to see you get so excited, and put them back for seed. Have fun young man!
Nice heavy tackle - love my spinfisher V LL with 65 lb braid
Great video. All i could do was be impatient and say. Seeeet the damn hook lol
I've caught many sawtooth gar. I call them bugle mouth bass. Never caught an Alli gar, but boy they can fight. Great vid and knowledge.
Your soo smart with your words man I love this channel
Happy to have found your channel. Thank you sir. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Man you are pumped! Pumped! You Love ya fishing . I get it. I'm from west Australia and have never seen such a strange fish! It really looks like an alligator cross with a fish. Bizzare! You funny . Very enjoyable video! I box also. Goodluck
That denali bottom feeder is one of the best rods ever. I've had mine (casting version) for almost a year. Handled a big red with ease. Two other rods is the thunder cat and rippin lips catfish rods.
Used to live by the Brazos as well, I remember Harvey had every house and road around us under water, we had the highest property on the road so it never touched us luckily but 360 degrees around us it looked like a ocean we couldn’t go anywhere for about 2 weeks.
I found your video while during a little research before heading out to fish the brazos this afternoon. Imagine my surprise when I search "brazos river catfishing" and this video pops up of you....fishing in the EXACT spot I was planning to fish! Hahaha
That's super cool. Watching this is making me want to go out and fish!
Hey dude, I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos. Keep up the great work bud!
One million!!!! Congrats!
love your video man thanks i really enjoyed that you a hard worker
Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. I caught 3 alligator gar at Lake Livingston Dam a few weeks ago. The sad thing is all the trash that people leave behind. I've never seen so much trash at a single fishing spot.
Yeah its sad people abandon dogs there to so you gotta be careful
Great, no bullshit, just practical fishing, just subscribed.
Great video! ,very quality made master piece🤌🏽
I’ve always had pretty good luck at that spot , the gar come pretty easy but the catfish tend to only eat about 30 minutes till dark and at night. I’ve caught some big flatheads there before on live blue gill
First time watching good stuff and I like that u box I'm a Pro MMA fighter myself the bank is the best place for me to be just before a fight...
Great video bro. Went fishing this morning to a hidden lake near my home on Morton and greenhouse got back empty handed this brought me up.
Oscar Ruiz where at I live close there
This is an excellent professional, educational, instructional and entertaining video, you're a natural!
Nice catch! Come fish South Texas waters brotha. We have some nice 6-8 foot alligator gar!
I did not know the Brazos was the biggest River in Texas. Oh yeah man I absolutely love the length of your videos keep it up
News to me also. Considering I'm 73 and born in Texas , raised around Cotulla and Freer with the Rio Grand and Nueces close by to fish.
Thought it was the Trinity... learn something new every day I guess
We are all wrong it's the Rio...at 1800 something miles long.
I was gonna fish that spot, but that walk looked a little intimidating. Might take that walk now. Thanks for the video bro
I dont sub to a lot of people. But I love fishing so I had to sub to u. Keep the lines tight. Yee yee
Nice man! Had fun watching!
I learn something new the rope trick if you don't have a net to land a big fish very good info thumbs up for your channel
Good video - Enjoyed !!
Boxing wouldn’t have guessed, nice!
Thanks for sharing I love fishing !
Yo this guy should get more subs then 3.2k he should atleast be at 100k. Im sub to ur youtube bc u should wat u use and the pole u use.
I can't agree more with : Pick up your trash!!!
I grew up on the Ohio river and yes, you have to respect even a small stream. Water is one of the most relentless power full forces of nature.
I grew up there to lov the big carp n cats they get huge
I enjoyed watching that little worm on your hat lmao
Hey man you should do some fishing at the Surfside jetty soon! I was there last weekend and I got Spanish, blue fish, and pompano!
What bait did u use
Truly enjoyed seeing the gar caught rare to see that , we have some four and five feet gar here in rock castle Kentucky, big fish ...
Here on kentucky lake land between the lakes we catch long nose and alagatorgar gar all the time when fishing for catfish. Kentucky lake is full of them. They can get as big as 8 ft 150lbs. Biggest I caught so far was 5 ft. I didn't have a scale with me to weigh it but just a wild guess I'd say it was at least 70 lbs
Heck yah, great video!!!
I gave this video a like and subbed as soon as you said I box
Regardless of how some people feel. I think a fish that has lasted as long as a gar in history has figured out there could be something waiting to catch it. I know a gar is considered prehistoric this is why I think they run with bait for awhile before taking it. Yes they have some great tackle defeating hardware but I feel as though they have figured out that a bait might just be a trap. Just a feeling I have with all the hours I have fished this species. Let them take as much as they want. You better have a fat reel!
Cheap ugly sticks are incredible....especially the cork handle ones from 30 years ago TUFF stuff
Definitely felt the pain fishing for reef donkeys! Great fighting fish that really puts a hurting on you especially when they get to the 30lb+ class!
I've the original shimano baitrunners 3500 and 4500 …. don't get better.... great catfish reels.
I say we all that subscribed to his channel should pitch in and help him get a camera for his head dont get us wrong we love listening to ya but we want you and the action together keep up the good veiws
Where the two currents meet is what we’d call “the crease”. 🇬🇧
You’d expect fish to sit in the slower water on the edge of the faster water, waiting for food to come by.
The halibut pellet could be fished on “a hair rig” if you know how to tie a “knotless knot”. You’d need to prepare your hooklengths in advance though
Enjoyed that video, thanks. The rope trick I found interesting. Not seen that before, we don’t use ropes here, we’d just use a net. Why no net?
Think I might try my luck on the Sabin river this weekend if it's down.
Love ur vid. Hi from brazil. Soon in the u.s
Gracias amigo por tus vídeos 👌👍
Amazing...good luck.....
You should see my part of the Big Brazos, it's 5 times wider than this area and yes the flooding is awful. but we have some monster gar and catfish and buffalo in it..
Mine too. In Waller county. Where you at? I lived on the Brazos my whole life. Mostly waller county a year in fort bend county.
I wd love to try and fish at a place like that!!!
Where you at on the river bro I lived on that river all my life I'm out there almost daily. Waller county on hwy 290 in Hempstead tx.
I admire the way you Love those fish - you're a great fisherman!
Personally, I am a BASS man.
I am not far from the Brazos, you make we want to go give it a try.
good kayak launch below the dam
Really enjoy your videos. Like the way you are constantly teaching ! Thank you! BTW, I’m in the woodlands and fish around here...Lake Woodlands. San Jacinto River , Cypress and Spring creeks into Lake Houston.
Your style reminds me of fishing back home in England....awesome.!
Super cool vid im guessing you didn't catch anything on that pellet you first put on ? Gars are super cool we have them in Michigan but nothing on that level
Ok,just found your channel. And quickly Subscribed. Quick question, do you have a video on how you tie your tackle like the first rod in this video. Thanks
Thanks for the sub!
I actually wouldn't recommend trying to copy exactly what I'm doing in this video, did a whole lot poorly then.
What I do now is 80 or 100lb braid (Sufix) tied to about 8 feet of 100lb monofilament (to stop the fish from cutting the line on rocks, etc) with a FG knot with a rizudo finish the way Briggsy does it. The mono is tied to my swivel (150lb or 200lb) with a uni knot with 4 or 5 wraps. Then the leader is about 2-3 feet of 135lb pvc coated wire crimped to a Team Catfish circle hook.. I don't use treble hooks anymore.
I caught a 6-7 foot gator gar at my nearest canal on a little bluegill head amazing fight Keep up the good work and good content
Nice vodeo. Makes me wanna start a fishjng channel down in Sw Florida. So many good fishing times with my twin brother an there is Gar here too. Keep doing what your doing.. 👍 subbed
I started out catching 40 lbs cat from the bank. Recently bought a kayak. It's fun letting them pull me around
I live in bay city but grew up in wild peach , right by “brazoria” Texas know all about that river
Top vid buddy !!
Nice to see you using circle hooks. There are far too many people gut hooking gar with trebles and that will kill them every time.
Great video! That’s what I call robbing the banks!!! New supporter here 👍
Great video. I admire your enthusiasm and respect for the fish. Wish I could fish the Brazos with you.. Have you ever eaten Gar? I hear its good meat.
Boxing and fishing? Nice man
Great commentary and explanation of your rigs, and great catches too, those were some really nice gar. New subscriber here!
That is interesting about that dietary study which found alligator gar eat a lot of tilapia. I watched an old documentary on alligator gar ecology (also by tex parks & wildlife i believe) and they found during their study that channel catfish and gizzard shad made up the majority of their diet. So i wonder if tilapia were introduced since that older video and i guess they've become a new favorite food source for the gar.
Awesome video. Thanks!

I love the bait runner on my Okumas, great catfish reel for the money, I have four on ugly stik rods & ive really enjoyed that setup.
I love mine. Great for the money
There is no native gator gar in China. If we catch this kind of fish, we won’t put it back into the river. Because it will eat up all the other fishes.
I liked it when you started whispering when you got a strike .

Cool video! Alligator gar is #1 fish to catch on my bucket list!
I've never seen an alligator gar live. It has the pike/muskellenge shape. Beautiful fish, just dont kiss it on the lips.
