I mean as long as you play your cards perfectly you can land them. Got a 5 ft (idk like 80 pounds or some shit) bull shark on 20 pound leader. Sure I had to chase it but still
Hey man! Awesome stuff youre putting out. Noticed you were praying it wouldnt come off- try a faster action rod. It really significantly helps hooks to set in when you actually set the hook. Huge upgrade. That and a hook sharpener and youll be dandy. Not that you arent!!
So i call bullshit on this gar hookup being unexpected. 1. Spotted gar tend to school. 2. He stated “don’t let this one come off”. 3. He likely had hooked a gar and lost it in general hookup area. As gar are definitely known for throwing hooks, cutting leaders
This spot looks amazing. I catch them in rivers here in Kansas You really got to set the hook good because their snout is straight bone. They are super fun to catch even the small ones put up a good fight. I caught one that was like 3 feet long. They feel really cool too.
@@joshrobinson6785 nice! I don’t think I’ve been there. I was just living in Salina. Now I’m in Kansas City and struggling to find good fishing spots 😭
@@joshrobinson6785 I lived in Manhattan for a while and Rocky Ford fishing area was my go to place. Loved it. Walleye, gar, bass, drum, carp. If it’s in Kansas it’s in there. Also a few brown trout and striped bass too
@@joshrobinson6785 Is the neosho river good for fishing? I tried to fish the Missouri River and never again. The spot I was at wasn’t the best. The current was so so strong and branches and debris underneath
That's a tiny long nose gar. Not prehistoric, it's a juvenile. I've caught longnose gar that are 10 times that size. A bunch of them. They are very common. VERY common!
Don’t know if that’s a different species but that’s by no means big in fact that’s a baby compared to the ones I’ve seen in Texas and if you go all the way south near the rio grande river there’s like 5 foot ones and often they keep the skull and hang them on fences(If seen skulls bigger than the fish he caught)
@@EngineeringHooksets Once youve caught a few its all the same, and theyre so easy to catch i dont see the challenge in it. I much prefer skillful river fishing. For Barbel, pike, big carp, chub.
Its the abu garcia vendetta. I loved it for like a year, then it snapped on me. I bought another one, then the 2nd one snapped on its first day. Idk man
It’s always exciting and scary when you hook a fish you weren’t expecting to catch. Especially when you don’t have the proper equipment, that’s a good way to lose lures.
meh 240 million years for Gar Vs. bass who only evolved around 26 million years and carp about 6 million years ago. In perspective they're both relatively young in our history compared to Gar.
@@SSHitMan nah it's a pretty accurate description if you asked anyone in the community of paleontology they would agree with that. I've seen millions of year old fossils of an animal I've gone out and caught and that feels pretty prehistoric to me! They are unique in nature for their unique adaptations that they use to endure even being preyed on by, and preying on the dinosaurs!! The concept alone is just mind blowing!!!
@@feralcrow4342 Again, my issue is with the word "prehistoric". It literally means "before there is written history" and this varies from place to place in the world. For someplace like the midwest USA, for example, the year 1500 is "prehistoric" because there are no written records from that era in that location.
😂 240 million years is longer than Tyrannosaurus who lived around 90 to 65 million years ago. In perspective their ancient to even dinosaurs. Bowfin too, which they're distantly related to. They've been around for over 150 million years. They lived in the time of armor with phytosaurs and Protorosaurus which name literally means "First Lizard,".They are a living prehistoric sole living lineage of their family and underrated entirely!!
Sometimes i call longnose gars needle nose but i was out in lake texoma damn i was out there since 4:00 only caught 3 carp and 1 small sand bass none was keepers we were bout to leave my lost cast i call this needle nose gar we didn’t keep him we couldn’t keep him in the boat next morning we go get some shad then we cast in a spot that either a catfish or a sandbass would be or just a snake then i casted other side of the boat and caught a fricking huge catfish it was a 12 pound blue cat then the rest of the day we caught normal striper i call a 9 pounder striper thats it last*
It's a alligator gar!! we had one that got 12"long and we bought it at a pet store fish city in Akron Ohio they grows fast😊..but will eat anything in your tank that could fit in it's mouth 😩
The rod is a medium light abu garcia vendetta, the reel is a favorite sick stick 2000. I recommend the rod, not so much the reel, it looks good but the drag is clunky.
@@EngineeringHooksets you're missing my point. These things are no more prehistoric than you and I. Why? Because nothing alive today is prehistoric. Use your head next time.
@@iamhewhospeaks Im not missing your point, 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ we're just talking about different things. You are referencing individual fish, and I am referencing a species.
I catch these along those car spotted car and alligator gar where I fish at they're all in there and tomorrow morning I'm going to try and see if I can't get a monster alligator gar which I've had before but it's gotten off. Now I've got bigger hooks which the hooks I was using were too big there were for my saltwater rig. So I stepped down a size on the hooks a little bit and beefed up my rod to a heavy rod and my saltwater reel with 80 lb test Beyond braid on there this thing will pull in a freaking car if not a bus. I'm hoping it's a bus I hook into a nice size midsize car would be nice too meaning the size of the fish. I just wish I had somebody to help me pull it up out of the water. This is going to be somewhat fun to find out. I got rope and I got my gaff.

“please let this one not come of”
he’s had a rough day
🤣
That’s awesome, looks like a really fun catch!
"That's a big garrrrr" ummmm thats a baby my guy... I you had a real Dino on there you'd have had a MUCH bigger fight
It was a good size for a long nose. You might be thinking of alligator gar.
That’s dope dude, never caught a long nose!
We call those here in South Louisiana needle nose gar and that is a small one
That's 100x cooler than any fish I've ever caught. Nice catch!
“Please let this… be a normal field trip”
“With the frizz no way”
I hooked one the other day and it broke my line before I was close enough to grab it
Yeah they have sharp teeth for sure

Dude those things fight hard I’ve caught one before I see em all the time on the river
Pretty tough to hook a gar and get it in. Nice job.
Thank you!
Fun to catch & release different species of fish. Some decent size gar in Illinois. Little ones sometimes fight crazy, leaping & shakin’
I’ve seen gar quite a bit and I’ve never hooked one. I want one bad.
Literally me
You're a longnose gar? 😳😳
Gar and silver carp are some of the most hated fish ever known to man.
Lmfao 😂😂😂 "big" no that was a small one.
That was big for a normal gar alligator gar are the ones you think of and are the really big ones but that was a nice longnose
What rod and reel combo you using
Sweet catch. Granted “big” is both correct and an overstatement in comparison to how big some species of Garr get.
I caught one last year that was over 4ft long and weighed over 30lbs. One badass fish and fight!

Prehistoric fish ... " fish maybe a year old ."
That fuggin 25 dollar amazon lure 😂
I’ve been wanting to catch a gar so bad but I live near Tahoe in cali so that ain’t happening anytime soon
Here in Florida there's plenty of gar fish here
I think that’s probably a tiny gar by most peoples standards, but still dope
Baby gar. Don't be so dramatic, Brandon. The back strap is good eatin'.
Cool catch dude👍🏻

Gar fish are definitely prehistoric lol
My little stepbrother was fishing once and accidentally caught a gar and it literally like tried to chase him up the shore once he reeled it in🤣🤣
What reel is that ?
It's not prehistoric, it actually has existed throughout history.
😂 215 million years is longer than trex who was alive around 90 to 65 million years. In perspective their ancient to even dinosaurs.
Hard fish to land unless it wrappes the line around its mouth.
That's actually not a big gar. 20 to 40# are not uncommon, the biggest I ever saw was around 100#
“It’s a big gar”
It was my first gar lmao I thought it was big
Lmfao it's a big Garr, that was small

That’s tiny for a gar
small Gar my dude
Oh my garr that’s so cool
Big? Man a alligator gar can get longer than you are tall
Many you should see the alligator gar. 150+ pounds ridiculous to fight
That’s a good fish
“Prehistoric” lmao
Technically he's not wrong, gar as a family are millions of years old
It’s always exciting and scary when you hook a fish you weren’t expecting to catch. Especially when you don’t have the proper equipment, that’s a good way to lose lures.

No hookset?
Did he say big gar thats a baby
Oh it’s so big
It's a alligator gar!! we had one that got 12"long and we bought it at a pet store fish city in Akron Ohio they grows fast😊..but will eat anything in your tank that could fit in it's mouth 😩
also two turtles also in Akron had them back in the days...we had 2 and on jumped out the other got to big for our50 gallon
So we traded it for another fish
Why is it prehistoric? It's a fish. Many fish look insane. Like gar, musky, and many others
Why aren't you prehistoric?
Fyi, that is NOT a big gar...
It is great man
Aligator gar.
I don't believe we have those around here.
Bottle nose gar
Where’s the “fish ON!!!”
What is your setup
The rod is a medium light abu garcia vendetta, the reel is a favorite sick stick 2000. I recommend the rod, not so much the reel, it looks good but the drag is clunky.
It's just a baby so.cute
That's not a spotted gar, spotted gar have a stubby nose compared to that one, you caught a long nose gar I'm pretty sure.
The video says "longnose gar"
@@EngineeringHooksets but you said spotted gar, what are you on about
@@the_canadian_goose6033 Did you watch the video? I clearly overlayed "*longnose gar*" to correct my mistake before this was posted.

that would be cool
Gar fish are older than sturgeons
