Man you never disappoint, when you say it’s a monster you know that’s the case
I appreciate it 👍
I felt like this one was definitely worthy of that description
@@wildlifefishingshow this one was absolutely incredible, the care you take with these giant creatures speaks volumes about you as well, awesome adventure and attitude as always.
The lengths you go to, in order to land, and release these behemoth fish, deserves praise...
Good job, I enjoyed watching this video. I hope to one day catch something similar...
Thank you, I appreciate it
Your channel is super underrated!
I appreciate your enthusiasm for fishing brother 🍻
Wow, you really love your job! About 20 years ago I was fishing in a flooded creek in Oklahoma when I caught a fish. It felt light at first and then it got heavy. When I got it up, I noticed I caught a small catfish. Holding onto that catfish was an alligator gar! I rolled the line a few feet and the gar whipped its head around and snapped my line. My stepdad was there and said it looked to be around 6 1/2 to 7 feet long! he said if he wasn't there to witness it, he wouldn't believe it.
❤ Now that was a REAL River Monster ! ❤
Another epic day on the river ! Amazing fish, amazing!! On my bucket list, I would love to fish for those incredible creatures! From one carp man to another, TIGHT LINES !!!👍🎣🎣
Amazing video, amazing experience! Now THAT’S a fish! lol….muddied up in the most beautiful way! And it’s all here for anyone that cares to watch….Thanks for sharing your personal record catch… Maybe someday someone else will get to experience the same thrill.
I once caught a 5lb brown trout on 4lb test line that did amazing aerial jumps. My friend wanted to keep it for the meat, but I kissed the fish and tossed it back, hoping it provides someone else with the same thrill it provided me. Funny enough, when we dropped the net in the boat, the hook fell out of its mouth. One of the best fishing memories of my life. All the Best, TC 👍🏻🍻❤️😎
Wow I can see why you said this videos is one of your favorites. From you showing gear while talking over it to the fish itself and the dedication of showing the fish off while in waist deep mud. I've continued to say just like you have that theres a big one coming in the near future. This one was a TANK and that spot is going to treat you hopefully even better. Love the videos man, you are such a underated RUclipsr and educator for fish. Also im pretty sure that beautiful fish jumped in background at 20:15. Cant wait for the next beast!
I appreciate the support!

This is by far one of my favorite videos you've created yet! What an EPIC battle catch & release!!! Definitely entertaining and very enjoyable video! I can definitely say I've never wallowed in the mud with a huge goliath fish as you did! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time during the release! Awesome video! Thanks!!!!
Manny thanks!
An absolute behemoth!!! This is why you made my Top 10 fishing youtubers video. Thanks for the great vids 👍
I appreciate it
You inspired me to start my RUclips channel and find local areas to catch alligator gar thank you and keep up the good content 🙏💯
Awesome stuff, post the link
@@wildlifefishingshow yessir
Nice catch.. thank you for caring about the animals
Absolutely, and thanks
I have caught some nice sturgeon before, but man what a beautiful fish! I have got to try for one of those beasts in my lifetime. Gotta make it to Texas. Well done!
Living the dream! Such an amazing fish!
💯
another incredible catch
You need your own tv show you're right up there with people like jeremy wade he caught a 7 foot gar with a crew and you are out there by yourself good job man
I appreciate it 🙏
I don't put myself in the same class as Jeremy Wade but thanks!
Everytime I watch these monsters I always think of Jeremy Wade.
Wow absolutely Jeremy Wade is my hero I will tell you River Monsters and Jeremy Wade got me through a lot in my life he got me through so many tough times watching River Monsters always made me feel safe happy warm and loved inside I can't explain it kind of like Grandma's house you know and honestly you're up there with that guy you respect the fish watching him made me understand and respect more than I did before look at you all by yourself I love it I catch big Pike and I'm all by myself and it's tough and they are nowhere near that size wise A+ fisherman
Now we know how that gar got that deformity giving out headbutts tryna knock out fishermen lol a true survivor 😂
I am so stoked your sharing! I wanna go fishing now!
Schedule me
What am I sharing?
@@wildlifefishingshow truly a magnificent species that's tells it own tale of survival by still growing and breeding to this day.
The natives used their scales for arrow heads n to think you were holding an animal that was probably around or at least close in age to the very time the natives were hunting with arrow heads made of scales is an absolute trip. Your sharing a great opportunity for everyone to see an actual dinosaur
That's amazing that thing is 7 ft long very impressive tackle
You are hands down the best river fisherman in the grater brazoria/ Harris county area without a dought man kept up the grate work and doin what you do
I genuinely appreciate it 🙏
Amazing video, thank you for your dedication to quality.
Also good luck and many tight lines
I appreciate the support 🙏
He earned that like
Amazing thank you for showing us these amazing fish
Absolutely, thanks for watching
@@wildlifefishingshow for sure can't wait for the next big one
Wow ! Awesome! New subscriber! Love fishing !
the hair rig and barbless customized hook are great ideas.
I can't take credit for it but I agree
Amazingly brilliant video.
I appreciate the support 🙏
Awesome catch and a good spot you found yourself there surely there's even a bigger monster there I know you'll be looking for it sometime
I think the next 8 footer is coming out of this area
Me and my little fishing crew loves your videos man. You are a legend without a doubt. I hope to run into you one day so I can shake your hand!
Definitely! What do you guys go for?
Awesome video bro!! U have a new subscriber!!! Im going to try to catch my first alligator gar on the trinity river in the next couple of weeks. Keep up the good work👍
Thanks and good luck! Let me know if you catch one.
Dang Nice Fish 7 foot I love your Show and all the Alligator Gar that you catch Maybe Mississippi Louisiana and Texas will start Protect and Preserve these Awesome Fish Thanks for your Channel.
I believe things are only going to be getting better for them
My OEB will try anything to rub a collar or harness off wherever he can. Fish probably aren't much different.
The size of those gar is insane
Yeah, they get big
Another awesome fish, great job. I like the gear too, we sell a lot of those Daiwas Penns and especially BKK has been flying off the shelf lately
They are expensive but worth every penny, for sure
This makes me want to go gar fishing so much!!!
Get out there!
Same but I live on the plains of Oklahoma lol
I've always loved the animals that others fear/shun. I have a habit of greeting vultures, herons, crows, snakes, bats, coyotes, and opossums as equals and friends when they come near me. I love catching and releasing bowfin, carp, and gar, even when other folks tell me I should kill them. You're a fantastic advocate for the unloved animals and that's why I love your channels!
I appreciate it 👍
Superb
Real river monster..!!
Love from Bangladesh ❤️
I appreciate the support 🙏
IT'S HERE!!! Edit:Another great video! Congrats on the catch!

What a Beast. Great stuff
Thanks!

OOOOOW MYYYYYY GOOOOOOOD Last time I writed you I told next time you will have him and you did it !! what a MONSTER ! Congratulations !!!!! he or she is a GIANT . This must have been a verry old example !. Well done , Perfect 😮😵💫

@@wildlifefishingshow I was verry confident soon or later you would catch him ! Sush a magnificent animal, so beautiful !!! Youre heavy equipment didnt look heavy when the fish was fighting !!! Just AMAZING catch. Thanks for the vid, I'm gonna watch it a few more times;
Love to see a new post
Absolutely 💯
Holy geez what a freaking beast👊✌️
Thanks
Amazing man
Thanks!
Best freshwater content in all of RUclips!!!!
Another monster in the archives! Great video
I appreciate it. Killer handle name too, btw.
@@wildlifefishingshow I appreciate that! Stay awesome and keep raising awareness for these beautiful beasts.
@@Thegoofyairgunner 100%
I’ve hunted waterfowl in marshes and rice fields all my life. Never have I been that muddy 😂 Congratulations on a awesome catch!
Ha, yeah, I'd imagine if the birds were 200lb and knocked you down it it, you probably would. Thanks for the support!
@@wildlifefishingshow So true!
Amazing video, thats why i watch all your vids completely includind ads. GREAT JOB. In future vids , can you give your audience some gar facts as to where you fish,like how big they can get ,etc. Glad to see your knee is ok and you can continue to fish and make vids. Thank you. p.s. maybe you can show your audience how to tie a knot to the hook to keep these monsters on that hook. Thanks again.
I appreciate it! I'll see if I can include that in one of the next videos.
tHANK yOU, HAVE A GRERAT EASTER holidat, i'm stuck inside doing my taxes.
thanks for releasing the fish, bro!! thats the way to catch 9 to 10 foot world record in the future 😌 all you have to do is to protect this beautiful historical fish🙂 keep it up
👍
19:13 was crazy!!! What a monster fish!!
Wow, you weren’t kidding when you said ro look out for this next video!😊
💯
I feel sorry for your clothes washer. Great catch and great video! That's definitely a big fish spot.
It definitely takes a beating, lol
NICE!! Fish of a lifetime for most. Did you happen to get the girth? Licking the lens to get a clear shot , that's dedication!!!
I totally forgot to get the girth, even after saying it to the camera, lol.
I learned from Cavy that licking the camera lens is the fastest way to clear it without smudging it. Don't taste too good, though.
@@wildlifefishingshow Great job, had to watch it twice , back to back. Very much enjoy the content.
@@user-yc8bi9td2n I appreciate the support!
Too damn cool. I'm grinning ear to ear watching you have so much fun with these monsters.
It's too much fun
GO STROS! ⚾️⚾️⚾️ (Had to say it 😉)
@@logancreed5041 go stros 🔥
@@wildlifefishingshow Alvarez literally JUST hit a grand slam to tie us up 4-4!!! WooHoo!!! If we win, I'm going fishing after work 🤘🤘 Cheers from Katy TX!
@@logancreed5041 not gonna lie, I didn't know they were playing right now
My goodness. It's huge.
A biggun
Nice fish 😍
Thanks
You should come down south to the Rio grande valley there a lake called Delta lake down south Texas. Monster alligator gar down here. Would be a nice trip
Your videos never disappoint me.. bad ass buddy
Thanks 👍
Cut about 4in long piece of multi color Polly rope take and clamp it on hook just under the hook eye. Use band like for bird bands for clamp for rope . Then take the rope and fray it half to three quarters of the rope. The frayed rope gets in between the teeth helps keep fish hooked. Increase your land rate to 75% to about 80% land rate.
scared me when he just about knocked you on the head! good catch i’m jealous. glad to see someone treat gar well!
Nice Donkey Kong reference! Congratulations on the catch!
Ha, thanks!
Insane!
🔥
Well done brother another monster for the books.
🔥
The OPENING ALOOONE!!!! LMFAO!!!!!! I love you channerl bruh if you`re ever in San Antonio fwm!!! We can go get big reds or Blacktip Black Drum at the coast. #BlessingsToYou #HappyFishing
All the tournament fisherman are screaming “pinch the tail” at their screens as you measure!😂
If only they had a forked tail
Soaked, covered in mud, exhausted, throwing a 7' alligator gar back...good day.
Hey dude man I was a nice nice fishman ice guard congratulations hopefully someday I'll be able to come down and fishal you guys please from the northeast of bearded fisherman I'm still on the quinnipiac River trying to fish and live not catching any fish and trying to live goodnight Happy Easter
Hopefully they start biting for ya!
@@wildlifefishingshow YEAH MAN!! OR FIND A APARTMENT LIVING ON THE RIVER FIR 8 MONTHS NOW IN MERIDEN CT Dude IS TOUGH!!
Hey bud can you link your rod and reel and line combos for us to use especially the one you used for that massive 300lb alligator gar
Damn dude your a madman! Love it!
Ha, thanks!
hey if its one thing i can vouch for the BKK titan hooks are amazing period!
I just bought a bunch more, they're great
@@wildlifefishingshowwhat’s the actual name of the hook I want to try them out
Nice fish
Thanks
Think you'll stick with the new hook? Another epic video!
This reminds me of the gar I used to pull out of Sims bayou in the early 80s. Some of them were well over 8ft. I wish we had video and camera back then.
Big congratulations bro, that prehistoric beast you snagged sure was a monster! 🤯7 feet?? The biggest Gar you ever caught, I'm guessing.
Also, enjoyed your free "mud bath" - you know some people pay real money for that in spas! 🤣🤣
I appreciate it. The biggest one I've caught is actually one of the biggest gar ever caught: 8 feet and 2 inches. Close to 300lb.
I just get unbelievably excited every time I catch a good one 👍
Now that spring is here can you tell me how to scare off or avoid snakes when you’re fishing or not targeting snakes? To be honest snakes can be annoying sometimes 😅
I need u to catch a world record gar ❤
you would make steve irwin proud nice job
Wow!
🔥
I run a catfish ugly stick with 50 lb spider wire line. Large spinning reel. Yet to break the line .
Several years ago I hooked into one on the Mississippi River. I didn’t have my drag set right and it broke 30lb line, nerve checking up.
Just reading this, I felt that line breaking in my soul, lol
@Wildlife I caught my 2nd biggest longnose gar yesterday, no where near this size but we don't have gator gar here, definitely on my bucket list though
Longnose gar are great fish. How big was it?
@@wildlifefishingshow it was probably between 3.5 and 4 feet, we don't get super big ones here (bells river/tidal st.marys river)
We get huge stingrays though, got a 150 lber last year
@@Atlas016 that's still a respectable long- nose. And 150lbs of stingray sounds epic. I bet that was a fight!
@@wildlifefishingshow hell yeah, it was on a fairly light set up too, the fight was an hour and 15 minutes
WOW! very nice. did you see him or another one jump after the release??? Mack
No, I didn't notice
Congratulations once again bud!! You are the dinosaur hunter!!
Thanks!
Wow just amazing beautiful good job very proud of you absolutely means something the way you care for the animal I love that I feel the same way every time I catch on I'm always worried about hurting it or killing it or something it's about having respect for the fish and I feel the same can you imagine how old that fish was amazing amazing I wish for someday that I can come down to Texas and do the same would be better than Disneyland Hawaii Paris you get what I'm saying right love it
What size crimps should I use for 135 pound afw wire
19:17 what an incredible shot, must've hurt though
How old would you guess that brute to be. Love catching muskies and gars in Iowa
Thanks that was epic. Take your time processing this and get all your stuff picked up and go get a shower and celebrate. 👍
Awesome catch and release. I’d like to take you to my place in Houston riddled with Gars. LMK.
Awesome catch I live in Vegas I want to catch one so bad.
Come on down to Texas
@@wildlifefishingshow where is the best place in Texas to catch them?
@Raymund Turner that ultimately depends on who you ask, the size of the fish you want, and how much time you have. If you're good with a 30-40lb fish, the Lake Livingston spillway is a pretty easy place to pick one up. If you want something pushing 75-100lb, Buffalo Bayou, which runs right through Houston, holds plenty of good ones. You can literally catch them in the downtown area. But if you want a giant, a 7 foot plus gar, you gotta find good spots on big rivers like the Trinity, Brazos, or San Jacinto. I'm gonna recommend you talk to Alex Sosa of Buffalo Bayou Fishing Champs, a great catch and release guide service for gar. You can find him on Instagram. Tell him I sent you, he's a good friend. He could help you organize a trip with a very, very high chance of landing a big gar.
@@wildlifefishingshow thanks for the info I will definitely look into that.
I'm trying to scan comments for haters.... Haven't seen many- which is great.
That's a workout. I hope no one bitches. Yeaaaaaa mud up to ur waist. That's scary. Great fish man. Great video!
Yeah, I tend to get them after a few days.
I appreciate it
Was trying to help you out of the mud. Very nice catch
Thanks!
Spot yang sangat bagus dan strike ikan monster mantap sekali
Thanks!
Bad Ass! 💯
💯
It would be really nice if you mention your fishing equipment in the description. I guess the reel is Daiwa BG 5000.
In the video description, I only mention the brands I have deals with. But it's a 6500 BG on a Big Cat Fever medium heavy rod.
@@wildlifefishingshow Thanks man. And thanks again 😀 for the awesome videos. Keep it up.
You do a lot of bank fishing, I know with my experience,chiggers and other bugs are a pain,what do you use to protect yourself
Honestly, I occasionally use mosquito spray but that's it.
I wish you would fish live on Twitch, I would watch this all day
I would love to stream stuff but fishing takes too long and requires too much movement
@@wildlifefishingshow People stream, an average of 8hrs and more on twitch
@@kryptonkorn9487 yeah but you would see my catch anything for most of that
Thanks For The Heavy Reel Info, most of us never even see one on video
Watch out though remember what the Arapaima & Thailand Stingray did to Jeremy Wade ;)
I'll definitely try to avoid getting mauled too badly
Nice BBBRRRROOOOOOO 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks!
Now that's a workout!
For sure!
