    When there's a lot of bait in the water, only the biggest baits will get a monster's attention.
    After weeks of small fish or no fish, I finally found the home of some truly massive fish and they were all very hungry. These fish are native to the Southern and Central United States and like any large predator, they are very important to the health of the environment they live in. Visit the link below for more information on these incredible, natural predators.

    The BIG FISH start showing up at about the 7:20 mark (when the fight starts)
    The title is a direct reference to the PR history of the alligator gar.
    The thumbnail was taken during filming when some of the B-roll fish are shown and was actually used in the filming of the video (though the bait itself didn't make the final cut).

Worms in your tubes, bumblefoot, deathly hiccups or some such thing. 😁 Glad you put the slap down on the Rona, and your family stuff settled down as well.

    I live in Germany, but I come from Poland.
    Poland is now a complete desert of fish.
    They are almost absent. We used to have catfish and sturgeons, 3 meters long.
    Now it's hard to catch a catfish 2 meters long. It's the same in Germany. That's why I go fishing to the Netherlands and to France.

      The entire mouth is pretty much solid bone, almost impossible to penetrate. You really do have to wait for them to start trying to swallow the bait as the back of their mouth has a bit softer tissue.

    Like you caught that Blue with luck, I was shark fishing off a pier and my line snapped, but as it snapped it somehow managed to get itself in a knot around the wooden fence around the pier. I managed to handline him in, and while he was relatively small, it was an incredibly lucky moment since I only had one shark rig.
