Thanks Mark! New episodes every Tuesday at 6pm EST and some Thursdays.

I go to school with jackson

Rogue IJK - 6 years ago

That noise it makes at 20:00 though

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Haha yeahhhh

Adam - 6 years ago

your fish care/handling is terrible...you really dont know how to fish.

Adam - 6 years ago

What was the point of fishing from a kayak 5 ft away from the bank? The one you hooked at 10:00 you gut hooked it and it was pissing blood everywhere, use a circle hook? You couldn't lasso it for shit, and then you stand on top of it whilst its thrashing nearly injuring yourself and the fish...have some respect for the fish if you are planning to release it.

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Post up a video demonstrating how to handle a 100+ pound alligator gar from a kayak. I look forward to learning how to fish from you!

James Mathews - 6 years ago

I've seen a photo from the early 1900s of a 15 footer caught from one of our local lakes in the Mississippi Delta.

radbru 79 - 6 years ago

That boi probably eats full sized ducks

Bantham Nobilis - 6 years ago

Subbed, because I watched your bad day on the ocean with that shark. I wouldn't have removed the hook either, and personally I think you handled it well, you survived. Your mistakes taught others what NOT to do, fantastic!!! Good luck and I look forward to more videos!

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Thanks for the support and the sub bro!

Damien Mezenberg - 7 years ago

Do you also use the metal/anker if you go on the sea

+FloridaJiggin' thanks bro!

Sabrina Hullett - 7 years ago

Yeeeeeeah buddy! I would love to catch another one of those. I travel all over to catch different species of fish. That right there is a great fight!

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Sabrina Hullett such an incredible species. This was an experience I'll never forget.

ultimatejay - 7 years ago

Why don't you use a stinger hook setup, that way you can set the hook right away?

Isaac Ford - 7 years ago

next time as your saying "to seee if i can find the aligator gar" dont show you holding it LMAO, it also ruins the suspense of whether u get one or not.. im not trying to hate or anything

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Isaac Ford yeah I hear ya. Not to be taken so seriously I suppose. I'll keep that in mind tho

Yvngoo gravy - 7 years ago

Patrick Connors - 7 years ago

The outtakes were exceptional, lol. Dang, that was some work.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Patrick Connors haha yes it was man! Those fish are nuts

Yantai Peng - 7 years ago

Wow, you should eat it. The meat is pretty good.

Yantai Peng - 7 years ago

We tried with the same size gar. The meat is white, pretty good for cooking and eating.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

I've heard differently.

Christopher Mounts - 7 years ago

I'm AMAZED!!! I LIKE IT!!!
I just discovered you, Robert (Sorry, I'm late) but I'm here and subscribed.

Thanks to Louis from "Beyond the bounds" fishing channel. (Thanks Louie!!)

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Thanks Fred! Glad you're enjoying the videos.

Mike Taylor - 7 years ago

Great video Robert! What seat are you using in your Outback here?

Robert Field - 7 years ago

That was a 2015 Jackson Kayak seat if I remember right. Fits like a glove.

One Fish - 7 years ago

Enjoyed the video man. Gar are definitely my favorite freshwater fish. I can't wait till I get a yak for my channel.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

They are a blast to catch for sure man. Gnarly animals.

Dwayne - 7 years ago

I'm just guessing but something must be done them fish will destroy everything

Michael Kaplafka - 7 years ago

nice

Dwayne - 7 years ago

I'm going to do this

Teresa Houser - 7 years ago

Me to

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Do it!

Dwayne - 7 years ago

yeah they ought to catch a few big ones lose on them Asian carp

Robert Field - 7 years ago

I hear they're talking about stocking these in the great lakes to fight those carp. I personally don't think that's a good idea. History tells me that fighting invasive species by introducing invasive species is not a great strategy.

Dwayne - 7 years ago

I catch them but never on a kayak but I'm about too .. lolhahaha ,,,

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Do it bro!

Bob John - 7 years ago

I've heard good things about the stripped bass in the trinity river.

I don't know too much about that. I always chase striper up in Lake Texoma.

If you ain't had a gar pulling you on a kayak you haven't really lived.

Mike Kuo - 6 years ago

I love your fishing videos so much they are so awesome and cool love the fish you got

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Agreed!

Alvertano Vasquez - 7 years ago

what kind of rod is it what kind of hook

DaViper Venom - 7 years ago

I need to fish the Trinity. Looks like you can pitch a tent on a soft flat bank and set up for gar and catfish. It would make for a few good days in the outdoors.

MyGolden30 - 7 years ago

There's a big spot where people are always camping out just off of hwy 105 when you are coming out of Cleveland headed into Moss Hill ... there's a series of sand bars like 5-6 when the water levels are extremely low (good luck now w/ all of this rain). Never visited them, but they were always parties and families camped out down there just off of the hwy.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Just be careful, most of it is private property. Your best bet to be legal is to find a sandbar island.

YAKMAN ONT - 7 years ago

nathan C - 7 years ago

what the music during the first caught and the third please ?

nathan C - 7 years ago

justly, shazam doesn't recognize muscis..

Robert Field - 7 years ago

I honestly don't remember man, sorry. You can use the Shazaam app to find out.

f50koenigg - 8 years ago

How long is your rod?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

About 7 foot.

Copenhagen Rebel - 8 years ago

Logan Hall - 8 years ago

Looks like that was a blast!

Robert Field - 8 years ago

It was!

Justin Wilkens - 8 years ago

come to Mississippi and try it out. use the Asian carp as bait. alligator gar are making a return in many waters.

Victor Cruz - 8 years ago

were is that

Devin Wise - 8 years ago

the old signature woo! hahaha

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Hahahaha

Matt Fry - 8 years ago

What a great video. Robert, out of curiosity, do you think you could've landed those bigger ones without the pedal drive and had to rely on your paddle? It seems the current, etc. would have made it nearly impossible.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

No, if I hadn't had the pedals, I would have rescheduled this trip. The pedals were key in controlling these fish with the river flowing so fast.

Michael Wyse - 8 years ago

What mounts were you using on the kayak for your GoPro's?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Those are Railblaza Camera Boom 600s. Use code YAKFISHTV for 15% off Railblaza stuff at www.yak-gear.com

Phil Accio - 8 years ago

Can you get Gar like this in Nebraska?

Savage Gamer Ytb - 7 years ago

I've coght aligater gar in iowa in the Mississippi

Robert Field - 8 years ago

I believe Nebraska has longnose and spotted gar, but I don't think they have alligator gar. I could be wrong. They used to be that far north, but they've been pressured for a long time.

Austin Mosed - 8 years ago

Should I use a common carp head or native fish to my pond because I have a problem with the gar killing a lot of fish in my pond?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

I'd use something local to the water body you're fishing.

flashy5150 - 8 years ago

The day of the farting gar. lol

flashy5150 - 7 years ago

Ohhh, I think I know that baby new year. I used to have gars as pets.

What hooks and what size were you using I leave by the river Grande we have plenty of gator gat and planning to try and catch 1. hope you can help and freaking awesome video.

Alex Morales - 8 years ago

+Robert Field thank you for your time n reply, thight lines.....

Robert Field - 8 years ago

We were using #5 4x strong treble hooks

Bullets Forteeth VIDEO CHANNEL - 8 years ago

I just read this... https://www.yahoo.com/news/huge-once-hated-fish-now-seen-weapon-against-053052931.html I caught an alligator gar here recently in Buchanan in the highland lakes here in Texas, another fishermen reported catching one in the San Jacinto. I caught mine on a senko lure and released the fish. It was approximately 2ft long as other fisherman reported his to be nominally the same size. Invasive fish like Asian carp and Snakehead are also a threat to Texas fishing... Alligator Gar just may be the answer to control those invasive populations... Please keep us informed and I would like to hear more info on using Gar to control snake head populations as well.

Deb cothran - 8 years ago

I remember fishing these things in Mississippi in the brackish waters.. rodeo

some people over estimate about how dangerous alligator gar are. I live by a river that is full of them and people swim in it and no one has been bit of hurt by one. they are just creepy looking fish!!

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Yes they are!

Vortex Airsoft Team - 8 years ago

what kind of kayak is this? could I get a link to where you bought it?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

The pedal drive kayaks are expensive. What's your budget?

Vortex Airsoft Team - 8 years ago

+tylerguitar17 Yeah, couple thousand dollars. For sure not in my preferred price range. Thank you though.

tylerguitar17 - 8 years ago

It's a hobie kayak pricey but really nice

Michael Custodio - 8 years ago

what I like is you kept going bigger and bigger! I didn't like that you took the kayak on the boat to get to the spot.. Half the fun is getting to the spot!

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Agreed, and like I said, that was Plan A. Sometimes ya gotta just roll with the punches. We contemplated cancelling the trip altogether. Glad we didn't!

Michael Custodio - 8 years ago

+Robert Field
sorry! don't mean to bust your chops. I would have done the same with the same conditions. what I'm saying is it's unfortunate you didn't do it yakking to the spots. like I said before, the journey half the battle/fun

Robert Field - 8 years ago

The river was at flood stage and it was almost impossible to make forward progress against the current. Trying to run the ~10 miles between spots would have taken me all day. We had to switch to Plan B with all the rain we had right before the trip.

Kumo TheAkita - 8 years ago

can you eat alligator gar ...................

Kimberly Sineath - 6 years ago

triton triumphant yes and its good. A bit chewy by great flavor

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Yes, but they aren't known for being delicious. Smaller ones can be good if prepared right, these big ones would be gross.

Big boy Leo dog Werner - 8 years ago

Yes

It's the Trinity River in east Texas

Carl'sOutdoorAdventures - 8 years ago

I typed this early in the video, and you missed a few fish, and i was wondering if bigger treble hooks would help, but you ended up catching more fish, so I guess it was fine

Tyler Vasut - 8 years ago

What river is this?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

The Trinity River in east Texas.

Carl'sOutdoorAdventures - 8 years ago

Bigger treble hooks? Like 11/0

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Are you asking or telling me? Ours were smaller than that and worked fine.

Manchester City - 8 years ago

You know you're a badass when
1 you catch river monsters in toe shoes

Kale Dore - 8 years ago

Bring an old t-shirt to grab ur fish

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Yeah that'd be a good idea. These fish actually gave me a mild reaction on my forearms. Bubba said their slime has been known to cause allergic reactions in a lot of people. Wasn't too bad, but it got all red and bumpy for a day or two.

R Russell - 8 years ago

Hooked roughly a 5 footer in Mobile Bay last year. Dropped the landing basket and just laughed. They are no joke, especially once they get over 3 feet or so.

snaggyslugworm fishing/vlogs - 8 years ago

how's the status on those guys in the wild?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

They have a very slow rate of reproduction; they only spawn every few years if the conditions are perfect, even less often if not. We just had a spawn last year thanks to all the flooding we've had, reportedly the first spawn in almost a decade. But they range from south Texas to Alabama that I know of. Bowfishermen are their worst enemy.

Logan Wolter - 8 years ago

I love how u reply to comments!

Robert Field - 8 years ago

It can be tough to keep up with sometimes but I try my best to answer every single comment on my channel. I appreciate everyone who watches my videos, so the least I can do is reply when you guys take the time to watch and comment.

TheMidnight Beast - 8 years ago

since the comments where disabled on the offshore gone wrong part 3 was disabled, did you really have to leave that hook in that second sharks mouth ???

Robert Field - 8 years ago

As I stated in the video description on that video, I had tried to remove the hook for about 5 minutes but couldn't get it out. Ultimately I decided that leaving the shark out of the water any longer would kill the fish. That hook rusted out long before you made this comment. It was a mistake I made on my first shark, and since then I've learned to pinch down the barbs so I can remove them, and I even demonstrate that in my other shark video. So, to answer your question, yes, I really had to leave the hook in that shark's mouth to save its life at that point. Thanks for watching.

Chris Crav - 8 years ago

Hooks will rust out of a fishes mouth in a week or two

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Thanks bro!

ScubaCuda - 8 years ago

Robert, your videos are always awesome and have been a real inspiration for me. I got my first 6ft sturgeon from the yak the other day and he was towing me like that sailfish you caught, now I'm hooked on big game! Maybe you could check my sturgeon video out and let me know what you think.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Thanks for the kind words brother! I just watched it, good stuff! Couple suggestions: instead of adding text to explain stuff, record yourself talking about it and layer that audio under the video. People connect to human voices, it'll make people feel like they know you and make them more likely to subscribe. Also, when YouTube says "Your video is shaky, do you want us to fix it?" Click NO. It gives it a weird distortion. Not sure if you can undo it. And third: less is more. Some of the segments are a bit long when you're fighting it. Try to shorten it down, leave the audience wanting more. All in all great first video though, and I actually have plans to chase sturgeon in that same river with the guys at NRS. Got me excited to get up there!

Why dont you remove the hooks from your fish properly? Going to act tough BE tough, take the hook out.

+Robert Field Fair one at least you can admit a mistake I hear you can also snip off the barb.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Max Williams - 8 years ago

+Robert Field No the Kayak shark catch. Ive been diving for years and always wondered what type of person left their hooks in these amazing creatures, I find it a shame as you obviously love the sport but disrespect the process in a way.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Are you talking about this video? I did remove the hooks.

dutchfishingchannel - 8 years ago

These are the video's I am looking for ;) such an awesome vid with great fish!

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Can you make a saltwater gear video

Robert Field - 8 years ago

As in, tackle setups? That's tough because I use a wide variety of saltwater rigs, depending on what type of saltwater fishing I'm doing...

snakeman - 8 years ago

Nice Job. I hope to get after some kayak garfishing this summer. Atchafalaya River. Kinda nervous after watching your video. Did you guys use single hook or treble? Thanks

Robert Field - 8 years ago

We used a single treble hook.

BETTY GIRL - 8 years ago

the native Indians made arrowheads out of there scales, from huge gar. nice video.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Yes they did, and I actually talk about that in an upcoming film from the Pecos River in southwest Texas. We found some scales and I talked about that same thing. Good call!

Jeffrey Schaffert - 8 years ago

Cool video! I'm from SE Michigan and I was sorry to miss you at Kent Lake for the KATS. I just fished their last weekend and caught a few fish. I saw HUNDREDS of vacated bass beds along the SW end of the lake by I96. If you ever wanted to come back for the spawn that seems to be a good spot with hard bottom. Keep up the great videos.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

I don't have a spinning reel that'll handle that, got an old penn senator though, what ya think on using that

+Robert Field hard to get used to reeling in big fish in a kayak. Its like bow hunting vs rifle hunting

Robert Field - 8 years ago

I'm sure that'd work. Being in a kayak is much more forgiving on your gear, since your kayak will move before your rod or reel give usually.

awesome catch! would love to catch gar up here in Wisconsin. always see them roaming around while bass fishing. But don't have the right set-up for them.

bassmaster1255 - 8 years ago

Yeah, they are spotted and longnose. I always try to dish with a steel leader for the fact then northerns like to destroy your bass lures. That good to know, they do.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Up there it's probably longnose and spotted gar. I don't think gator gar venture that far north. Those still get big and are a blast to catch though! I've caught a 49" longnose gar on bass gear and it fought like a tank.

I love your videos man, and no offense but Josh from Peelin' Drag made you look like a newbie when he did this lol

Delta S1x - 8 years ago

Yeah, that's him. But either way I couldn't imagine messing with a giant gar like that in my kayak. Maybe one day

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Thanks bro. None taken, I don't pretend to be a pro angler. I'm still a rookie, been fishing about 3 1/2 years. Struggling through and learning it hands on is what I enjoy most. I always tell people that say they want to do what I do... if I can do it, you definitely can. And are you talking about Josh Dolin?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Nope, didn't get bit luckily. I did cut my arm on the first big fish's gill plate when I was trying to get him out from under my kayak to hold him up. Everything on that fish will hurt you pretty much, haha.
