Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
The trellis?
Big respect for making sure the lasso was past the fins. A lot of people forget or don’t care to do that and can end up doing some real damage to the gills.
@@AdamOwenBrowning Typical foreigner
He already did damage the fish thrashed at least once, and then theres a cut probably a second time. the rope was deep in there probably did a lot of damage to the delicate gill rakers.
@@korzer maybe the fish shouldnt thrash around, thats on the fish.
@@Josh-ri4rd maybe the human shouldnt catch the fish if its not even gonna eat it... just damaged the fish for no reason lol
@@Josh-ri4rd So, the fish should consciouslu stop doing what it's instincts tell them too after veing caught by a potential predator?
I respect the care and attention you take to avoid doing more harm than is necessary for catch and release
dont take it out of the damn water then! he should of eaten him. probably died from a heart attack after he was released.
@@justinbennett9998 lol no he was perfectly fine snowflake
Not really, he wouldn't rip the fish out of the throat and his hook barbs would be pinched if he gave a shit.
yeah, that is why he is using barbed snapper hooks....
Force reels it in, rips it out of the water, lets it dangel in the air vertically, touches it with dry hands, keeps the fish out of the water longer than necessary, doenst use tools to remove hook, and then throws it back into the water. He honestly did more wrong than right.
Got love the respect he has by fishing for personal memories and releasing the fish for the next generation to enjoy the experience too. Love the video man!
A gar like that deserves to live forever.
Agreed
Alligator gars have been around for a hundred million years. Most likely will still be here when humans are long extinct.
Yh
Where I live at in South East tx they get almost twice that size on a regular..that gar prob wasn't even really that old.
That fish would probably try to eat you if it were big enough and if you were vulnerable enough plus that fish looks delicious
Thank you for letting it go. It has been in there all this time and I'm really happy to see it go back. I know most people will say it's just a fish, but it's part of our ecosystem and you are a good ambassador.
Thanks!
Yep
it definitely is! sure id love to have something like that as a pet, which i am capable of (big fish is my hobby) but a fish like that most definitely have it living in the wild where it belongs.
same thought
Pls don't start to love ur own foodd....
The respect and admiration you showed that gar was truly touching. You're a true sportsman. Good on ya, man.
yah, kill a fish(bait) to catch and release a fish.
@@soprema1980 was a non-binary fish
@@alphaomegaai4192 Where I fish, we use non barbed hooks, no scent and 12 inch leaders and catch 50 lbs Salmon.
@@soprema1980 bro fishing with carp isnt harmfull , they an invasive specie
@@nikiradio I am sorry.I wasn't aware. Where I live carp and Salish suckers are native species.
Your care and appreciation for fishing definitely deserves a show🙂👍
When you said gar, I was expecting a baby but that thing was the real deal. An absolute unit. What a legend. To think that lives in city waters.
Yeah, I don't think I even realized it was going to be big until I started trying to pull it up on shore.
Cool video. We caught these GARS as a kid, sometimes they get 5 feet long in the FL canals .... Chefs lobster bisque soup is amazing. ruclips.net/video/RPn4MGy1ef8/видео.html (youtube link to recipe)
that was one big alligator gar
Good thing no one swims in that water. Imagine what that alligator gar can do to a person.
Get tested
That was seriously impressive, from catch, to adjustment to hold and a finish of the release...Well done, well done indeed!!!
except that he only had that lasso half right - other side was in it's gills.
Absolutely loved how you treated that gar with respect. Got your picture, took out the hook and got her right back in. Catch and release is why we get to enjoy the big ones. Awesome video
Far is my favourite type of ish.
@@User0000000000000004 aww yess they are great. 😂😂😂 stupid iPhone typos
Watching you pick up that fish and lay that bait right it's path, and then set the hook was a thing of beauty to watch. You're a hell of a fisherman.
Man I’d never go home if I had fishing like this near me ! Absolutely brilliant dude great vid 👍
And you'd die of mercury poisoning eating that everyday.
This was good, need more of this
A wild wendigoon appears in a random fishing video.
we all have the same recommended i swear
Weve spotted the legendary wendigoon
The fact Wendigoon is a fish enthusiast makes my night. I also love how considerate this fisherman is with his catches. Gar are living dinosaurs. I am glad he returned it.
@@lindsayberry-gibson4391 honestly same well put
This is the first time that I've seen one of your videos and I have to say that I'm impressed. You presented this clip really well and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers mate 👍
You enthusiasm and respect for the animals is beautiful. Be safe, keep up the great work.
Respect for the animals? Sarcasm, right?
Several takeaways; 1. that's one of the most impressive freshwater videos I've seen on RUclips. 2. Sweet release. 3. You've got quality tackle and quality camera gear. Invest $30 in a couple of sand spikes. As a guy who beach sharks, it's going to be a sick feeling to watch hundreds of dollars worth of rod and reel launch off that muddy bank being towed by one of those dinosaurs. Even with a light drag or open bail your line could wrap a guide or backlash that conventional. 4. Still impressive AF! Subbed.
When I was eighteen or so, I was fishing on the beach with my bestfriend and this exact situation happened. The rod just shot onto the sand I was lucky to be fast enough getting out of the chair and onto the sand to catch it before we lost the whole thing. We ended up bringing in a 3 or so foot shark at that. But man, if it wanted to that thing could've been gone.
Shit I had a shimanod shakespeare back in the day spiked pretty damn good, fucking beast that size probably snatched it up. Once they get it that's it unless you have it wedged between rocks
This. If you value your gear, tie it to something immovable. I would fish afternoons after work until well past dark, and fall asleep. I always had my rod tethered to something, my wrist, my leg, my chair, a dock cleat, a tree, something. Had a couple hard hits that I wasn't ready for and I've never lost gear.
That was my thought too. Even before seeing that Gar I was worried about some expensive gear going bye bye.
That's GREAT advice Dan. and they have light backpackable holders. The next worth thing to losing your tackle is losing a good fish big enough to pull your gear in and it will no doubt die.
It's beautiful to see someone else that takes such care with the fish they catch. It should be obvious to an outsider that if you want good fishing then you need to take care of both fish and their habitat. But a helluva lot of 'fishermen' seem to forget that. This was great to see - both how to catch and how to care. Good man!
@@oldironsides4107 you either have no empathy and need therapy or you're just pathetic in your need for attention. You got your attention, now go get your therapy.
@@wildlifefishingshow Wow, you shamed him into deleting his comment. I wanted to see what set you off but I'll just guess he didn't think highly of letting it go. My view is some fish are for eating, some are to beautiful to keep, and some just don't taste good. That gar was too fine for eating and possibly protected, and it would have been a pain to process on site and/or carry out of there.
Wow! Who would have thought there would be monster fish like that living in city water canals? That is awesome.
Now that was amazing. Watching you catch those fish was awesome. You have great respect for the fish. The Beauty of each fish shows as you catch them. Thanks for taking us along. I'd give you a high 10 for sure. 👍🏻😎
Watching you pick up that fish and lay that bait right it's path, and then set the hook was a thing of beauty to watch. You're a hell of a fisherman. Although people prefer catch and release, a part of me wishes I could see a go pro view of you walking around the city with a 5 foot Gar in your hands and the citizens reactions.
Good luck carrying it
@Elias Adam:
Probably: 😱 Hoo Maang...
😘 Hi baby... 🤠 Nice Alligator Gar...
🤬 You are a MoFo - ass wipe.....
😡 How could you kill one of those you...
@@noahzegart5190 he could throw it over his shoulder with a rope like a viking lol. I'm glad he released it too though. Respect for the dinosaurs 🦕
Knowing Houston that fish would be shot dead.
Why would you want him to kill the fish just to show off? the video shows the fish off perfectly fine and you dont have to kill the fish haha.
I appreciate seeing the small flat heads just as much as the big ones you catch. Great video and love that fishing spot!
I'd like to know what y'all consider a Large One!(cause he ain't caught what I'd call a Small fish yet!)
@@leonardguillory2041 the big flat heads hang out around boat docks where people clean fish and they do get big
man I was clueless! I've never even heard of a fish like that! what an awesome video, that thing looked prehistoric! thank you so much!
Powerful fish!!! They can live for a long time. Great video.
great video. i like how you take care of the fish, even using small barbs which helps removing the hooks without any damage.
@Mark Ulis yes, i absolutely agree, but unfortunately many people don't. i always used to use barbless when i used to fish but for those that don't using fine barbs is a step in the right direction. the regular barbed hooks with large barbs are horrendous. i would always encourage barbless hooks, not only are they better for the fish but easier to remove from nets etc.
@@jamesbelcher896 Alligator gar are not invasive, quite the opposite. They have been here literally longer than most other North American wildlife
@Mark Ulis there's an argument many UK fishermen make against barbless in that you risk multiple penetrations throughout the fight. I'm undecided on which I think is more beneficial so I use hooks with small barbs as a compromise. There's a lot to consider. But ultimately with catfish and gar, the incredibly small barbs aren't nearly as much a concern as they are with finer species anyway.
@@jamesbelcher896 No, you're completely wrong. Quote your source if you're so confident. They are a native species here in Texas.
@@jamesbelcher896 tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/management/alligator-gar/
Awesome to see a big city alligator gar of such stature. Nice catch…and release!
The fish you catch are probably experiencing the most love and appreciation theyve ever had i bet. It would be like getting abducted by aliens and they just bombard you with compliments and describing how beautiful you are to them, then being dropped off at home again.
Wow! I lived in Houston almost fifty years and fished buffalo bayou only once on the west side of attics reservoir just a little off fry road. Caught some pretty big bass but never anywhere around downtown. Stude park on white oak bayou was my go to for cast netting finger mullet to feed the bull red's off Bryan beach and the Brazos river. Thanks for posting this.......
Are you talking about buffalo bayou off westheimer Pkwy? In george Bush Park?
@@Regular_1094 yea the video is downtown houston
Dude, that was am amazing catch - well done and congrats!
I love that he respects the fish enough to say him.. or her! Haha. Such a beautiful specimen and a great catch my friend! Happy fishing.
This is legendary. Great work! Props from MS as you've more than earned this sub.
Holy God _!_ I was not expecting such a big fish. Congrats.
Thanks!
What a great fishing video ! And you do it without any obnoxious , Stupid music either . Bravo !
Wow what a catch… Thank you for letting that beauty live another day…. Respect to you Sir.
Respect. This is the first time I've seen such a big monster fish.
This is incredible. First video from your channel I've ever watched. Nice job.
Thanks!
Dude. Seriously, that's a MONSTER!! Good Job!!
Jeremy Wade would be proud.
Wow brilliant catch and respect shown to the fish
I like how you can tell how much you love fishing and the actual fish. I usually give them the bait at the end too but if you’re short then you gotta conserve lmao!
It's nice to see someone that actually cares about the fish
Thanks
@@user-hx1ig4iz6b liking your own comment is pathetic
@@ivyw9587 why do you think part of the hook and line were still attached? Ever hear of "editing"?
The fish isn't traumatized. Specific fish are caught, tagged, released and then caught again years later. They don't die of trauma when this is done properly (I do it properly). But it sounds like you just make up your own facts as you see fit.
@@wildlifefishingshow I second this. The Garrison Damn National Fish Hatchery in North Dakota has been bringing the same sturgeon in to harvest and grow the eggs since WWII. I have seen the sturgeon in the tank. Those same fish have been "caught and traumatized" about 75 times each and they looked ok to me! Plus the eggs have about a ten thousand to one better chance of survival.
most incredible fish ive ever seen caught by someone catch at a no frills body of water/ just amazing
I'd have to agree.
You know you are in Texas when even fishing requires a lasso. Amazing fish, well done.
The buildings bro lol
wow, I see why they got the name Alligator Gar! Great video, thanks for sharing and the great care you took in protecting the fish while getting it ashore!
Huge fish!!
Thanks!
Great Vid man! Love how you appreciate the natural beauty of these fish, and the respect you show.
That with the respect part was sarcasm, right?
Holy crap Dude! Love your channel btw! Thank you for sharing and thank you for loving all animals.
Thank you very much for releasing her. Nice fish and congrats.
Gotta be my favorite fresh water fishing channel knowing it’s in my city man much respect I need to get out to these bayous more
Thanks, that means a lot!
WOW !!
What is the city?
@@israelmorales9098 Houston
The water quality definitely looks better than it was in the past. Still don't think I would try eating anything out of BB though.
It would be interesting to have a fish tested for chemical levels.
Beautiful knot work, much respect. I ❤️ fishing 🎣🦦🦈
Just subscribed to your channel I'm a fisherman and love it when I catch a monster thank you for sharing with us this great catch !! I look forward to seeing more awesome videos shout out from Oregon!!
Thanks! I hope to make it out to Oregon soon to film up there
@@wildlifefishingshow Coming in from Oregon as well! You should totally come over here and film!
@@theduke5180 for sure, I'm looking in to booking a sturgeon fishing guide in a few moths 👍
I don't think you will ever go hungry! I have only ever fished in the sea, 3 times! All small fish. You seem to find the best places to go!👍🏾
Awesome for letting that monsters go man! Mad respect
Holy crap , can only imagine what people would be thinking when you roll up to a fishing spot in the middle of town carrying a lasso , well done mate
The lasso is for catching plus plus plus sized women.
@@frankradcliff660 gotta have a sturdy lasso
@@frankradcliff660 Nah, steel roap for that
Outstanding video! What an incredible fish. I'm not a fisherman but enjoyed watching you reel him in. Am glad you appreciate nature by placing him back in the water so he can continue living. Thumbs up!
Thanks!
Nice job! Subscribed! 😎
Keep ‘em coming 🎣
I'm glad that it was returned :)
Yup. A offshoot of buffalo bayou ran by the campus and I would go there all the time. I remember the urban youth looking at me like "what are you doing?" But for me it was a private fishing spot. Big Gar, Big Bass, big grass carp, big koi fish, big cats. Now they're turning it into a park and cutting the vegetation away and landscaping it to make it more accessible. So rip to that spot lol
Go down where buffalo bayou crosses under I 45 next to the cemetery .I used to catch gar like that back in the early 80s right under the bridge. Glad you posted this because everyone thought I was lying about it..
That might actually be the most amazing video I've seen on YT
Besides the beautiful fish you have caught.
But the peace of mind is the greatest part of fishing to me.
Good video my brother,have a blessed day and many more.👍
Thanks!
Absolute beast! Great catch!
Thanks!
i am impressed
Excellent Job! Both catch and release. What a FISH!!
What a magic moment….for both you & the lucky alligator gar. Bravo
Well done for catch and release. What a beautiful fish.
Really appreciate the hard work man. Great video.
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Fisherman Idubbbz, great content, fishing is such a mood, your videos makes me want to figure out my dads old fishing box and go fish and relax
I love to see people out living free. Keep it up!!!
If all the fishing holes weren’t frozen over I’d be trying to catch a gar like that! Nice catch man!
That's what i'm talking about!!! Nice work!

Спасибо за увлекательные сюжеты,хорошее отношение к природе.Сработала пословица-хорошо там,где нас нет.Я в таком случае иногда отвечаю:да,хорошо,если бы Вы там были, то небыло того ,что Вы видели.Еще раз благодарю и буду ждать интересных видео.
Thank you!
Wow, I have never seen a gar that big, that was awesome!
That was awesome, and I don't even like fishing. Need more of this.
The blue channel and the channel are truly the most beautiful of catfish.
Well done, letting him live!
That's a monster fish wow... from in the city
That's huge good fishing 👍.
I was really glad to see you turned that monster loose. You can tell the character of a man by the way he treats animals. Subbed/liked.
Great video, the big ones always get us the muddiest. It’s like a temporary badge of honor walking back to the car covered in it.
For sure, but most of the urban dog walkers just looked at me like I was crazy, lol.
@@wildlifefishingshow yeah they do that, but they also look at us crazy when we throw HUGE baits into these bayous, and even CRAZIER when we pull out 5'-6' gars!! It's all worth it when you see the surprise and amazement look on their faces. That feeling just can't be replaced
The last time I fished like that was with my grandpa but he passed away a while ago and this video really took me back so thank you.
I feel this post. My dad and my grandpa were my big fishing partners. My grandpa died 10 years ago and my dad lives far away.
@@bigbmanbrad sorry for your loss
Back in the sixties we fished for gar. Gars fight like crazy and is a big thrill for a kid. This brought back some great memories. Thanks for the video.
Great job! Enjoyed this very much.
5:00 personally I think (and am biased bc i catch them all the time lol) Blue Catfish are the prettiest due to their blue/purple/silver pattern that i find in Falcon Lake here in TX, but yes indeed, very nice looking flathead, awesome video 👏
My opinions the same, i came from Michigan, could find channels anywhere i went. Ran into my first blue in Illinois, at 11 or 12, caught 12 total, 3.5-5.5lb blues out a big river many foggy years ago, first time id ever seen them, and while we ate them all of course, and they were delicious, i couldnt get over that foggy gunmetal blue.
I can definitely see an argument for blue catfish being the prettiest
Nice gar I hooked about a 7 footer 3 years ago it almost dragged me in, I had to sit down and reel the reel was singing and the rod was making cracking sounds it finally straightened out my hook like the one you was using it got away but it sure was a fun fight, congratulations on that big gar.
Then an actual alligator came up and ate it. Then an alligator snapping turtle came up and attacked the gator.😀
Great video and HELL YA IT"S WORTH IT!!.... thanks for sharing that ...
I admire your sportsmanship in how you treated this grand Gar. Well done. Respecting Mother Nature!
Beautiful fish.
Hope it lives another 100 years
Not sure if I am more impressed or jealous for not having that kind of waters and fish to catch.
He's in downtown Spokane and the Spokane Riiver is highly polluted. They have signs all along the river telling people to shower immediately after swiming and the fish are contaminated with mercury from the old gold mines in Idaho as well as other toxins. In other words don't eat the fish.
That was amazing Man!! Congratulations on some nice Fish 👀👀? That Gar was truly great?
Your Tid bits , about where too fish 🐠🐟🐠 are excellent. Thank You.
That was a magnificent catch ! Bravo 👏
Appears you weren't expecting such a big gar! Nice job. She didn't fight much for her size tho. Nice job 👍
Wow I’m surprised that this man handled this fish amazingly
I always thought flathead looked like a wad of snot however i think they are the best eating catfish great video even better fishing 🎣😀
WHAT A MONSTER!!.. lol good catch
Wow you caught a dinosaur, that's awesome
"The prettiest fish" and "look at those colors" are not something you hear very often when talking about catfish! 😁
@florida tree umm..the flathead was a catfish which is the fish he made that comment about.
WOW THAT THING WAS FREAKING MASSIVE! GREAT JOB!
Nice video man love your videos keep up the good work and go catch some more big ones and that gar was beautiful
Thank you for the video.
Dwayne Davis, a good friend of mine who has passed away, had the same love of fishing that you show. I would have told my friend Dwayne to bring that thing home and I will clean it and fry it up. Great job fishing! Great catch.
Keep up the good work.
PS
What city is it?
Houston, just outside of downtown…
