@@imadough Man, that's so awesome! I was using 10lb mono leader to 20lb braid on this trip. This was my longest fight so far. I'd love to hook into a big bull redfish soon and fight it for an hour lol. I wish I could've got a weight on the gar. Thanks for watching!
Thanks man! I definitely got a bit too caught up in the moment lol. Idk if you could hear me mumbling to myself due to the audio quality, but I was going “this is dumb Josh, you’re dumb don’t do that.” 🤣
Heck yeah I caught a gar that size on a ultralight recently and fought it for twenty minutes. That was a regular far what you caught there was an alligator gar. They have a wider mouth
It’s always fun catching big fish on ultralight! I’d love to catch one like this with lighter gear someday. I know a lot of people around here get mad when they catch gar but this fish put up an incredible fight.
Yessir! I typically like to go a bit further south toward the shell beach area, but did not wanna risk it with Helene still causing higher than normal winds here. Thank you for watching!
What’s the longest you’ve ever fought a fish for?
about an hour and a half 40lb drum on 15lb mono on my bass rod!
