In this fishing video, I hit the river with some big baits and a dream to catch some big fish. My mood quickly turn from positive to negative, because I was loosing a leader with each cast. The snags were relentless. But after a few hours I hooked up with a big alligator gar. The gar was all wrapped up in the branches but after a 10 minute battle I had the gar on the bank.

that was a beast!! Doin well for the end of the season!
Just stayed tuned, I have a few more in editing still
Such a stressful catch given all the snags and yet you handled it perfectly. Mad skillz !
That gar was wrapped around about 6 branches. It actually got stuck twice but I trimmed that part out. It took a little over 10 minutes from start to finish
@ is there normally that many branches in that particular spot? Or was it just an unlucky day for snags lol?
@christcooks0156 it’s fairly common in the rivers. This spot was extra bad though. I’ve had many days where I lose 10 leaders in an afternoon to the snags
@@BitesandStrikesFishing oh wow, that’s a lot even for gar fishing . But it’s worth it, idk what river you are at but I’ve been watching your vids and that spot you have found is a gold mine !
Great catch and like always amazing video. Always enjoy watching your channel.
Appreciate you watching and for the support!
That's a good one for sure. Water should be cooling down a little. Job well done. Send the reel back to Penn.
The water and the bites are cooling down now. I actually found the same reel on sale for $79 so I scooped it up. Too good to pass up
What reel will you replace the fierce with? Or, will you bring back the Kastking Sharky?
I actually found the same Fierce 3 for $79, couldn't pass that up. The KastKing is decent, but it's not really made for fish this big, there's just too much flex in the body and I fear that it will break in my hand.
Wonder if they fight harder than a similar catfish? Anyway, that sure was cool.
In my experience with the smaller ones, they do fight harder than catfish.
What are your leaders ?
I make my own leaders out of 7-strand wire. It’s pretty easy to do
