Thanks man all the videos I watched before yours was guys telling me how to catch 60 pound gar😂 I just want to catch the little gar eating my fish in my pond
I'm here for the same thing. We got a really good bass spot but it's getting over run by gar. Its ridiculous but there's a river right next to it so I just been relocating them
Nice video! Question- have you heard of people using circle hooks for gar or octopus hooks? I know you don’t set the lines with circle hooks? So wasn’t sure if it would be good for gar
Gloves are your friend when it comes to Gar. You can use rope lures to catch them and not worry about the hookset or gut hooking them. Thanks for releasing them and not leaving them to die like a lot of people do.
Angling Aviator Of course man thanks for watching I will protect these fish until I die glad there’s some other anglers out there that will do the same!
Caught a nice 40" gar out of the river the other day. I thankfully remembered to grab my gloves. He still managed to slice my thumbs open through the gloves. lol
I caught my first spotted gar couple days ago on a bluegill whopper plopper 90 got it on bank when to remove hook it slung the treble hook out it mouth right into my finger pretty deep
If that first spot is a river or creek there is easement along any roads or river/creeks so unless it's a pond or lake that the guy owed u should be able to still fish there
I’m coming to Florida in September. I’d love to do some fishing out your way! Great video. Sucks about your spot. Give the person a month or two and then go talk to them. Once they run the problem folks off, they might let you back on. I’ve had that happen before.
I can catch gar on the Missouri,they come right in on 10 inch deep water to eat baitfish,I throw an inline spinner and can catch them all day,from 7am to 8pm in the summer we can catch them at night to😎
@@Peter_Rubino two years ago I was fishing behind a statehighpatrol station in Smithfield NC fishing with a 6inch senko, caught about a 8 pound bowfin haha
Great catches. Yeah gotta be carerful handling the gar. I've had them mess up my hand too. Try using 1/0 circle hooks for the bowfin. You hook them in the soft corner of the mouth every time and you don't have to lay into them just reel. Too bad about losing the spot but I understand the owners point of view from what I've seen of other fishermen.
Man I got a hole with thousands of them i. Tried everything u have shown me on your videos I still can't get a hook up lol It might be my rod im not sure love the videos thanks
Yeah dude I fish for far in this creek outside my town and it's a public spot people been going to for generations.... These assholes gotta come trash the place all the time. I used to spend every Saturday morning before I fished picking up trash. I fucking hate that shit man. Folks come in and just leave all their bullshit behind. It's enough to raise your blood pressure.
Who tf r the ones who trash all these nice fishing spots? Especially under bridges. I've never met anyone who's str8 up like left a bunch of trash, shot guns, drew graffiti, etc. I've never seen anyone doing it either. But every time I come back to the spot, I see new trash & new crap
They're always cruising by while I'm fishing, totally ignoring me. Then, when I reel in to re-cast, they follow the line, look at it, and leave
Just happened to me for hours hahahahah
Same
Do you work for abc supply or just a roofer?

Would 10lb mono be alright for fish of this size maybe a bit smaller?
It could just make sure it’s open water no snags!
It’s not uncommon to catch fish around 10-15 pounds on 5 pound test. Just gotta use your rod right and it makes for an insane fight.
What’s your favorite re-to use for garfish 3:49
What is a good size of hook, a bluegill hook or a small circle hook, because I have seen people use bluegill hooks and also small octopus hooks
Is there a good time to fish for far? I know morning and evening but is it possible to go in the afternoon?
I'm bouts to leave the house now to go catch gar
Nice day of fishing! Never have caught bowfin or gar but ill definitely have to try now! Keep up the great vids!
Tyler Trotter Appreciate the comment man thanks for watching

I have never been bit by a bowfin or a gar suprisingly
I hook em sometimes with small 1/4 jigs and 1” white curly tails
Caught a nice 40" gar out of the river the other day. I thankfully remembered to grab my gloves.
He still managed to slice my thumbs open through the gloves. lol
Been there the other day it was good fishing. Great video

Sick video man. I'm gonna try fishing for gar this summer and learned alot from your video. Love that you released them too. Tight lines brother

Where is this river

When a bowfin is hungry they'll hit anything. Fun fish to catch, sucks you got run off from your spot!
Will919 you got that right man and I’m working on it hopefully I’ll be back soon!!
@@Peter_Rubino two years ago I was fishing behind a statehighpatrol station in Smithfield NC fishing with a 6inch senko, caught about a 8 pound bowfin haha
Gar are super fun...we were getting a ton a few weeks ago...but slowed now that the spawn is over.
That’s awesome man glad other people are catching them thanks for watching
That was so cool it seemed like every time one of y’all hooked up the other did
Got my first 2 today great feeling
Great video as always, nice fishing
Living fossils still swimming…nice job guys 👍
Sweet tips man
If you can see gar in the water, use rope lures. Many youtube videos on the how to make and use rope lures.
That first hook set😂 he really wanted it😂 nice vid
yo this was crazy
Hey mate, what makes you think theyre smarter than avg fish? Very interested in this species so anything you can share would be appreciated!
For one they are super sensitive to the type of hook you use because they can feel a treble hook if you use it
They’re actually not they’ve been alive longer than you bud
Think what u want bud but I know my Gar thanks for watching
Great catches. Yeah gotta be carerful handling the gar. I've had them mess up my hand too. Try using 1/0 circle hooks for the bowfin.

Awesome video! The bowfin and gar are definitely some of the coolest freshwater fish in North America!
Jesse Stephens for sure man thanks for watching brother!
400 million years and they are still here
Sandy Creek off of Highway 401 Has some nice Gar/Jack Fish.
Nice fishing!
Sorry to hear about the spot.
Man I got a hole with thousands of them i. Tried everything u have shown me on your videos I still can't get a hook up lol It might be my rod im not sure love the videos thanks
Didn’t know faze banks liked fishing
Are those needle nose or alligator gar
John Mexican needle nose gar alligator gar have thicker nose and they look like alligator
Those gar were long nose gar
I gotta take a trip to fish with you been a while...
Hook'em with Whispering walt for sure man thanks for watching
where?
Why Do U Wanna Catcb Them for??
Hey today I was trying to catch a bass and hooked a gar by it’s fin and got it in the boat
When we went fishing two days ago and we caught a gar. We were not prepared to get a gar so we set it free.
Today I was fishing on kayaks with my neighbor, and I hooked a gar perfectly, and landed it! I went to this vid because i wan to see if I did it right
Have you tried again? I see them all the time and have decided to catch one. We'll see what happens.
I was wondering why my fingers were slit open too
Just subbed bro! Let's link! And get on some bigs!
I’d rather catch bowfin than gar unless the gar are bigger than 40”. Longnose gar bigger than 40” are insane fighters.
Have you ever tried eating gar meat? It's pretty good. You should try it.
I CAUGHT A SEA GAR ONCE. AFTER I TOOK IT HOME ............. I SMOKED IT ! 😂 🤣 😂
When I fish them in lakes they always go for live bait then dead
It is always those OTHER people that ruin it.
Yeah dude I fish for far in this creek outside my town and it's a public spot people been going to for generations.... These assholes gotta come trash the place all the time. I used to spend every Saturday morning before I fished picking up trash. I fucking hate that shit man. Folks come in and just leave all their bullshit behind.

Where is this at? I would love to know so I can fish with my friends there.
U should put a small bowfin in your tank
My little girl’s favorite fish is a gar. Hope your tips help!
Bo fin is delicious feila them cook them in beer batter becareful I lost a nice chunk of finger on the bow find teath .it ( Hurt bad
So damn hard to hook a gar
Quote of the day " Okay y'all need to quit doin that" I'm laughin hard. Sorry for your hand man comes with they territory of fishin.
Cameron Owen hahah thanks man for watching!!
Anyone ever tell you that you look like FaZe Banks?
I left my tackle box open during the rain and all my hooks got rusty so now I have to buy new ones 😔
Kickedbeast well
did you get some
Jared krans yes
Only if he knew where he was gonna be
A massive gar took my rod into the lake a few hours ago, tomorrow I’m gonna catch one and eat it for revenge
Did ya get one?
It a black fish
You look like my uncle
Probably won't have a bottom lip later on in life...
Just go to the other side
Who tf r the ones who trash all these nice fishing spots? Especially under bridges. I've never met anyone who's str8 up like left a bunch of trash, shot guns, drew graffiti, etc. I've never seen anyone doing it either. But every time I come back to the spot, I see new trash & new crap
These are small compared to what I've caught lol
Michael Monnier I’ve caught bigger bud
@@Peter_Rubino Probably the best fight out there for fresh water, good eating too!
catch/release/repeat….otherwise you have no respect for conservation
