Catching Dinosaurs Fishing - 6 years ago

Its not everyday you can find a gar like that one, They are extremely rare, that fish is likely around 80 years old.
That is the heaviest gar caught and released from my boat in 5 years and i have spent thousands of hours on the water.
The most important thing is she still swims, that she still can continue her prehistoric bloodline in her river.
It is my hope through landing these fish and treating them with the highest level of respect we can bring about the conservation they deserve and need by showing the world just how ancient, rare and amazing they really are through social media sources like this one.

Robert Blackford - 5 years ago

Awesome catch! Now let’s get these fish protected and stop the bowhunting. Future generations need to be able to see these fish and catch them and release them.

Wow! That things huge brotha!!

Mr1987Joe - 5 years ago

Sooo... You'd probably be pretty upset if I posted a video of me catching one, dragging it to shore, clubbing it to death, setting it on fire, and then dancing around it like a witch doctor, then.

Sir is it true that these gars sometimes attack people cause in some places they say that its a man eater fish.

Catching Dinosaurs much respect for CPR. Bowfishing is destroying the population. Kentucky is having a decline in large catfish due to lack of ethical fishing and conservation as well. Good luck to all trying to help these fish.

Jack T - 6 years ago

+Catching Dinosaurs - Is there any way of artificially increasing the size of the fish in the river? Maybe by manipulating their hormones with feed pellets etc.

TUF Popland - 6 years ago

There hundreds of them u can just see from the road where we live they look to be about 3 to 4 ft long ya this one is rare cause of it's size but alligator gar aren't rare at all in the Arkansas river in the very least but your right we should stop killing the big ones for sport it's needless ,watched a video where all this big game animals / fish were all killed cause of there size pretty much instead of leaving them alone

Lone Wolf - 6 years ago

BCS BBQ mostly only Texans know that these prehistoric creatures are good eating. When they aren't too old of course always respect nature if the fish is older than you do not eat it a good eating size is 3-4 feet anything bigger they've been around too long let them live. However in places here they are a nuisance we are encouraged to kill them because no longer will we see bull reds because of these guys or any other fish at that. At least where I'm at. Catch on fishing buds.

Cerus98 - 6 years ago

Alligator gar don’t live anywhere close to that long. Males average about 25 and females 50.

BirdingWith John - 6 years ago

H3ADBANG4LIF3 Actually, I think we are 100% on the same page. I personally love catching "trash" fish. Carp and drum especially. Bowfin are great fighters as well. If somebody really feels the need to shoot something, I'd prefer it be something abundant like carp. Me personally, I'm a catch and release guy. So, totally agree!

H3ADBANG4LIF3 - 6 years ago

I'm halfway on board with you, BirdingWith John. People should only stick to shooting invasive species, if bowfishing even remains legal at all. All "trash" fish are misunderstood. Carp, buffalo, drum, etc. can all be excellent fighters, grow to very large sizes, and can even be excellent table fare. Every fish fulfills a necessary role in the ecosystem, and they all deserve our respect and appreciation.

BCS BBQ - 6 years ago

Hell yea 100% agree with you brotha. I hope your business grows. Your doing a great thing by showing people these fish are fun to catch and learn about. Fish on.

BirdingWith John - 6 years ago

Catching Dinosaurs it was absolutely a beautiful fish. I highly respect your mindset of protecting these fish. Bow fishing of alligator gar should be outlawed. People should stick to shooting carp. I've followed your channel for a very long time. Catching dinosaurs was mutch more fitting than sharkbaitTV

It's likely that fish was swimming in that river before most viewers Grandparents where even born, just let that sink in for a minute! I hope she has produced young that will still be swimming that river in the year 2100. Amazing creature, respect for you for the respect you showed the fish

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

Steve Harlow - 5 years ago

I was fishing in Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas in about 1970 & an Aligator Gar rose near our 10ft. John boat. It was was 6 to 7ft long. It was so close to the boat that it scared the crap out of me. I was 14.

jasonp825 - 5 years ago

I grew up hearing from every fisherman in knew that any gar (long nose, Spotted and Alligator) were all just "trash" fish bent on destroying the game fisheries of Texas. In high school we bow fished allot mainly for carp and buffalo for fun but occasionally gar. The fist time I shot a 4 foot gator gar, was the last time. I grew to like and respect these fish and learning that they had a place in the Texas fisheries food chain like any other native species. In fact, in Texas they are the only predator fish (other than Giant Flatheads) big enough to take full sized invasive carp which can devastate native habitat preferable to native game fish. SO in essence, they HELP the native fish populations by thinning the carp populations. But in truth, they are just friggen cool; too cool to randomly slaughter for fun. Much respect for the catch and release. There's currently legislation in Texas set to protect Alligator Gar from over harvest. I hope folks support it.

Jack T - 6 years ago

How much damage is caused to the animal from the hook in its flesh, the rope round its body, the silt in its gills when you drag it on shore etc?

Is there any way of artificially increasing the size of the fish in the river? Maybe by manipulating their hormones with feed pellets etc.

Jesse Knox - 6 years ago

Holy smokes! That is an amazing catch! I can respect your desire to catch and release with something that big. Older the animal the meat isn't as good rather harvest her offspring. Can't believe a fella could bowfish one and let it rot. I always use my fish i bowfish either for food for myself or bait. I would love to bowfish an alligator gar we have smaller gar in IA that are pretty good, but noting that gigantic! Honestly be hard to let a fish that big rot on the bank glad you were able to enjoy the experience!

When I was kayak fishing in Louisiana a few years ago there were 6 footers rolling in the water next to me, this one makes those look small! The girth of that fish is incredible. And no, I wasn't fishing for the gar I was trying to catch redfish and trout I live in Chicago and I didn't even realize there were gars in those brackish bayous. First one that spooked when I drifted over it scared the crap out of me, I thought it was an alligator until I saw it was silver. Then I figured it out... but man that bayou was full of them they were rolling everywhere maybe they were spawning?

What do you do with a dead Gar? You cant really eat them. I mean some people do, but they aren't very good. If you intend to eat Gar you don't destroy a giant. The giants are the gar with the good genes and should be the ones left to spawn. We need to stop destroying everything nature creates. What would our rivers be without gar...a river full of Asian Carp.

Bary Baragon - 6 years ago

What an amazing animal, it is so sad to think that they were almost completely exterminated before 1980. You don see them nearly as big as they used to get though since all of the big ones got killed off.

Billy Bee-sting - 6 years ago

Korbyn Breaux - 6 years ago

I live in brazoria tx and I always go fishing in Sargent, Mitchells cut, San Bernard. I've caught a 9 1/2 foot monster, we had a damn feast . Why didn't you keep it

Korbyn Breaux - 6 years ago

Bary Baragon also food is food. That is enough to feed a family of 8 to 10, there are plenty more 8 ft monsters, probably even 10 ft ones to won't hurt to keep one.

Korbyn Breaux - 6 years ago

Bary Baragon maybe research things before you give people your input, gar have been around for more than a million years, they are prehistoric animals.

Bary Baragon - 6 years ago

Because he isn´t interested in killing an animal that has survived since World War 1.

Flaming Flammenwerfer - 6 years ago

That is insane. Northern pike and muskie can get up to 40-50lbs here in the Upper Midwest, but these predator fish are in a class of their own!

FarFromEquilibrium - 6 years ago

There must be incredibly good forage in those small rivers to support gar that size.

Manuel Hernandez - 6 years ago

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...

Slick Silver - 6 years ago

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

TyzGamin - 6 years ago

Gar are a lot of fun just catch a blue gill cut it up put it on a hook and cast in a river

Slick Silver - 6 years ago

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
