The Wooded Beardsman when I heard how hard the skull was. The knife couldn't even... hah! Good job! Now that's ancient predator. No way i'm gonna swim in that river
The Rio Grande is full of alligator gar that river separates Mexico from texas. illegal immigrants cross that river all the time some of then drown and get most of their body eaten by alligator gar.
@@BeerZerkeraidean what Bullshit,I thought I was gonna like watching these guys until this. I catch Gar all the time and it's nothing like this.their like pulling in a truck tire absolutely no fight at all .those fish are so big and lazy that if ur on a pier or rock u can jump on top of them and pull them in...notice they didn't show when they pulled the fish in ....total BS.....
Now try that with a fish you can't kill! I was fishing my favorite little spot on the Mississippi here in Minnesota and hooked a 52inch sturgeon which are fully protected. At they don't have teeth! I managed to drag him mostly out of the water, got a measurement, removed the hook and then stepped on the slimy mud where I had dragged him out. We both ended up in the river together and the sturgeon swam off without a care in the world. I, meanwhile, could not climb out on the wet silt and had to wade and swim about 100 feet to a rocky area where I could get enough grip to climb out. Unfortunately, the rocks were all covered with the same silt and I had to wait until I stopped dripping before I could move. I had, of course, not bothered bringing a camera which is probably for the best because it probably would have ended up in the river too. Still. It's a memory that will last a lifetime. Cheers!
Last year I took a friend of mine out juggin for cats. One of the jugs had a gator gar on it and I hadn't thought to warn him. he won't even get in the boat with me anymore. We still fish for crappie and bluegills but he won't go for anything bigger. Ideas?
Dude, try that in sturgeon bay in wausau wisconsin. We have an abundance of sturgeon, its illegal to eat them though for whatever reason. Also a bit illegal to catch them
That's why I have hybrid camp axe/tomahawk with a thick spike blade on the back side. One swing goes through that skull. Also great for spiking catfish to a tree for skinning. I've put it through a large turtle shell with minimal effort. It really is a fantastic tool to have around.
This man reads and hearts almost every comment he gets. I salute you sir, your knowledge, skills and personality are more than admirable. 10/10 content.
Hey dude I just wanted to let you know this is the video from your channel that really sticks with me. Most people assume they can catch a fish with a rod and reel and that they will have another meal for them the next day. Your showing exactly what happens to people when they start to go hungry. You will conquer nature to get what your body needs to survive and see another day
Poor Bob thought you nearly knocked him out with your knee haha! The gar started thrashing and gave him a nice bang on the back of his head. He didn't care tho even when he was still lying to hold it down all he could think was how much he was gonna eat! Love the series keep it coming
Holy Moly! That Alligator Gar was one tough SOB! Amazing how it takes two grown men to wrangle a fish! That back strap was as big as an Elk! Love to see Bob Hansler out doing his thing again! Great video! Love the series!
Hey woodbeard, we have about 1000 acres of family land in central Kansas. Lots of deer, quail, multiple fishing ponds, wild turkey, and coyotes. These are all on the menu, and I love being outdoors. I will also shoot you an email in regards to this opportunity! Would love to hear from you, ~Kyle
Your knee wasn’t what hit him in the head when he said you kneed the back of his head. If you watch the gar used it’s head to whip back twice and that’s what he thought was your knee.
Mansfield Menace yea crazy cause he was serious about how hard he got hit in the head and to think it was his knee when he was jumping on the gar that’s just insane. Idk about you but my knees pretty hard I can’t imagine how hard that skull is.
The Wooded Beardsman great videos. I really enjoy them and I Appreciate what you do as in making the videos and taking the stand for your beliefs and morals and how you and many people live a life style like this. It means a great deal for someone like yourself to put forth such a genuine effort to bring knowledge to a dying skill.
Holy crap. What a beast. When you were hammering at its head with the tip of your knife, all you heard was knocking, like you were hitting a brick wall. What an absolute titan of a fish.
I can very rarely be bothered to sit through a 10+ minute youtube video. I just watched this whole 46 minutes and was entertained the whole time. Great production!
I love how people from two different places can coexist and exchange knowledge, two of my best people in one show got to love it keep it up guys stay safe please waiting for the next one guys stay safe
Elena Kowalska probably just showing his excitement about the animals. I personally don’t consider showing your bravery as showing off. I feel that it becomes showing off when you mention it. But then again that’s me.
I am handicapped and can't live as active as I would like. Getting to watch people like yourself let's me live vicariously through you. Thank you! Best of luck from USA!
I tend to watch TH-cam videos on 2x speed, but the whole gar catching/slaughtering process more then earned a normal speed review. In fact, I rewound more then once, the commentary alone was Oscar worthy.
In regards to lighting fires. Texas is very much like Australia, except even the dryest wood is filled with volatile eucalyptus oil. The trees pollinate in the summer by exploding in fires. Yes the trees explode from the oil.
Great video series guys, I'm off on a 4 day kayak outing for some living consumption on the river. I'll be eating some regular Gar and trying the Native American cook method. Thumbs up!
@@OhSoTiredMan im only 20 minutes away from it so i go there alot,aint nothin too scary,just keep ur appendages and anything you value out of the water
My friend and I used to catch Gar in Baytown , Texas and when you hook them the fight is on! We brought them in with a large re-bar with a hook on the end and dispatched them with a large sledge hammer. His wife would cook them and man they are delicious. The meat is the same texture as chicken. Good eaten. Our largest one weighed over 60lbs.
I used a Glock 81 field knife to puncture the top of a gar, worked like a charm. Alligator gar are delicious too, one of my favorites, right next to sturgeon.
never had gar but I'd love to try it. love both of you guys and regularly watch both your channels. thanks for all the great videos. you have gained a life time fan right here. thanks again
As for watching your videos from beginning to end I don't think I could stop myself from watching your videos from beginning to end you are awesome to watch.
Whenever I'm having a trying day, I watch this video of you & Bob wrangling that Gar. It's so good with Huck watching for Bob's safety, you not knowing exactly what to do but willing & Bob flopping around. 😂🤣 thanks again.
man i've really been loving this latest series, props to you and Bob, and thank you for all the work that goes into making these videos for us to enjoy
Good video get bob to fix some gar balls will make your mouth water interesting series can’t wait to see what’s coming next alligator gar gives you two fights one in the water and one on the banks lol
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! When I used to go shoot fish with my bow, I would make fish patties. It was pretty simple, grind the meat, add some onion, some seasonings, roll in some bread crumbs or corn meal, fry and serve. Yum! You two are making this old man want to go out and shoot some fish! Good job on the video series! God Bless! Good Luck and Tight lines to You!
If you would have thrown in some onions, garlic, thyme and season it up real good and boil it for like another 30 to an hour you would have some really tender fish soup. Or you could grill it wrapped in foil with some big chunks of onion, butter, garlic and seasoning it’ll be a lot more tender. Awesome video 😊

The Wooded Beardsman Just curious why can you not eat that much lean protein?
Boiled one doesn't look tastey compared to the grilled one yummy
"Hit it in the head with the sledgehammer"
BASH BASH BASH

A deer ran into my truck once. It ended with a sledgie as well :/ 4 months of high quality meat though :)

Y'all are great. I sincerely hope you've got more footage to work through for this series.
Still got a full line up!!!
15:10 he thought you kneed him in the head it was the gar haha

I'd watch it!! 🐡🐠🐟🐙🦞🦀🦈

I made body armor as a kid growing up on the Red River out of gar hide..... Mom was not a fan of this project and that was that.

If you get in that position again try rolling up the bank.
It’s like I was there with you
I think it's time to add a bigger knife to your collection!!
watching yous eat just making me miss living in the islands :( fish everyday
He needs a modern day bowie
lol a axe
Time to add a .22 MAG. revolver.. jajaja

QvvY i like how youre the one he hasnt hearted yet
Sas ig it's funny because you can tell he really wanted that heart lol
Not yours lmfao
He never ever hearts mine
I rewatch this just to see Huck, He's precious. I wish me and my dog could do stuff like this but something would probably eat my little alien rat.

Dude that beast was hard AF! **Now that's a knife destruction test!!**
TA Outdoors love your videos man
For real though, I though he was going to break his blade!
You need to take him out fishing! Wilderness sea challenge! Gotta stay in a boat for 5 days living off seafood!
I know you!! Cheers to you and your DaD!
That head is hard and the brain is small. A soft lead 22 would just shatter. Gar is a challenge.
Poor Bob thought you nearly knocked him out with your knee haha! The gar started thrashing and gave him a nice bang on the back of his head. He didn't care tho even when he was still lying to hold it down all he could think was how much he was gonna eat! Love the series keep it coming

Pheasants?
And when the fish knocked bob upside the head 🤣🤣 classic ...
Don't Mess With Texas.
Your knee wasn’t what hit him in the head when he said you kneed the back of his head. If you watch the gar used it’s head to whip back twice and that’s what he thought was your knee.
I said the same thing. Crazy how strong it was for him to think it was his knee
Mansfield Menace yea crazy cause he was serious about how hard he got hit in the head and to think it was his knee when he was jumping on the gar that’s just insane. Idk about you but my knees pretty hard I can’t imagine how hard that skull is.
These things are tough as nails!!!

This is my assessment as well.
Great episode and fun. Bob with a full body tackle with that gar - funny and scary.
Now that’s one HELL of a fish! It’s like watching an episode of River Monsters! Well done lads!
I just found this series and I think it is amazing. Its so soothing, entertaining and full of interesting information. So great!
Holy crap. What a beast. When you were hammering at its head with the tip of your knife, all you heard was knocking, like you were hitting a brick wall. What an absolute titan of a fish.
a couple of dudes in the wilderness sharing their meat to survive
LMAO

Your videos are so calming and exiting at the same time lol! Reminds me of Brave wilderness ! Keep it up beardo man!
Adnoy : have you even watched TheWoodedBeardsmen.lol nothing like brave wilderness...
FishThe6ix um yes there is a lot of excitement in both and you don’t know what’s going to happen ... and both teach us viewers something new
Sometimes I feel like BV is more about Coyote showing off how "cool" and "brave" he himself is, not the animals...
Elena Kowalska probably just showing his excitement about the animals. I personally don’t consider showing your bravery as showing off. I feel that it becomes showing off when you mention it. But then again that’s me.
Good old wood beard!
I had a serious laugh attack watching you guys handle that gar, that head of his was crazy hard what a beast fish!
´ Two men washing their meat ´ ( do not google this :-) )
but its perfect for right wingers they can feel like they are little boys in church again
fkujakedmyname : whats with the political crap ?
this isn't a political channel don't make it one
always wash your meat before eating the beaver :-)

Hope you can find some version of this.
Everything's big in TEXAS..great video👍👍👍
You proved that washing ones meat is something that should be done solitarily.
Glad to see Bob moving around. He’s a Legend. Great video.

@@P_steez hey I felt bad I missed your comment bro. I was just revisiting the video.
@@kingrileyp.i.4749 yeah I’m just messin, I get it
Here something many may not know, Bob is out doing this and is almost completely blind.
He is an inspiration. Very knowledgeable and practical. He has my respect.
Wait. What did you mean by blind. Like macular degeneration. Or born partially blind.
Aaron Moritz his sight was rapidly deteriorating I think it was his retina separating from the rest of his eye i apologize if I’m mistaken
"Here's our friend, he's gonna be our meal"
Its total male bonding when you can wash your meat next to each other and not feel uncomfortable.
Next thing to do is measure the meat.
😭😭😭😭
🤣
I think the Beardsman needs to move to Texas!
The diversity and awesomeness that comes with my YT subscriptions...
yeah just club the fish over the head for crying outloud 14:50 .... fyi this channel is better than any tv show
Hey it’s quick and efficient 👌

Did you guys also see the 4 leaf clover?
I tend to watch TH-cam videos on 2x speed, but the whole gar catching/slaughtering process more then earned a normal speed review. In fact, I rewound more then once, the commentary alone was Oscar worthy.

Bob "...... I love my gars........" best laugh I've had in weeks ....... thanks for that XD
Yes finally more content, I been waiting not very much to watch on TH-cam worth watching.... Great catch man beautiful fish.
Ya see his big as smile after the put the Gar down? Man I’m jealous

Great catch and a great meal ! That Gar looked really delicious .
Aww y'all caught a baby one
Baby one?

Reminds me of the movie ´water world´, when Kevin Costner grills the big fish. :-)
17:55 both bob and the dog were good boys and deserved back pats haha
I love this series. This Alligator Gar is a beast! Bob Hansler and you are a good team!
I used a Glock 81 field knife to puncture the top of a gar, worked like a charm.
Alligator gar are delicious too, one of my favorites, right next to sturgeon.
Had to watch it twice, hope you two do more videos together in the future, y'all mesh great together.

Love, love, LOVE this series! CONGRATS on the GAR! 😬👍🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️
Now that's a heck of a fish!
That was awesome man it got pretty intense dispatching that gar. Badass !!!!!!
love seeing videos like this man this one was just longer then expected... will have to return after work to see the rest
I love to see you guys bring y’all own season to the table.
It is great that you show and teach people how to survive if they are ever stranded
Huck is so adorable
17:00 the dog is in the back like “this is everyday bro” 🤣
Bro that’s funny LOL
Bob,s one tuff little texican.THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.
He's Mexican
Tex packs the knowledge of a man twice his age. I love listening to him. Great show!
As for watching your videos from beginning to end I don't think I could stop myself from watching your videos from beginning to end you are awesome to watch.
Are u going to do a season where bob comes to canada
Darrel Clark I would love to see that
A Texan in Canada would be great
Yeah would love to see that too his content is spot on
Whenever Bob wants to come, offer is open.
Hope to see it one day
Another great video, So glad you guys got an alligator Gar.
From what I could see the fish hit Bob in the head not your knee ?? Video was so good im watching it twice Thank you
Whitetail Bushcraft definitely looked like it was the fish!
Yeah it was the fish, I’m not sure why bob was saying it was bearded when he wasn’t even near him when he got hit lol.
It really was the fish! I still haven't told Bob that, but maybe he'll get a chance to see the replay LOL
BOB IS AN AWESOME GUY. Anybody that can take a gar to the head and laugh is alright by me. You need to get him to come to your neck of the woods now
It’s good to see you guys bring y’all own season to the table

Holy crap that skin is literal scale mail.
thats world of warcraft armor !
lmao glad someone said this! im playing wow vanilla as we speak.
I have had a hatchet bounce off the back of gar a third of that size. The best tool for opening them up is tin snips.
Buddy, you don’t belong in the woods. That was painful watching your video. Please stay in your home. Watching you try and kill that gar was awful.
Goddamn! Sounded like you were hitting a rock with that skull. They weren't exaggerating about it being a full force of power
If you would have thrown in some onions, garlic, thyme and season it up real good and boil it for like another 30 to an hour you would have some really tender fish soup. Or you could grill it wrapped in foil with some big chunks of onion, butter, garlic and seasoning it’ll be a lot more tender. Awesome video 😊
My favorite upload of this series.
