I used to bought a cute small one from a fish store, and i return it to the store when my aquarium won't fit anymore. I didn't know they can grow this big ...
You probably should have researched how big a fish can get before you buy it... I'm surprised people still don't do research on a fish before they try and keep it as a pet. Then again, people still keep goldfish in bowls so I shouldn't be surprised at the idiocy of people.
I know, right? I’m going through some unexpected medical issues at the moment but watching your videos has reminded me of my love for the water & for fishing! Once medically cleared, I’m going to have so much fun and relaxation on somebody’s bed of water. I haven’t taken my son out to fish I about 2-3 years!
Nice! i got hooked into a 6ft gar last sunday, short lived fight and he cut my line. But im hooked on gar now. Steel leaders and big braided line are now in the tackle box. Cant wait to get out and get a monster.
Ive always wanted to catch a gator gar, but they didn't have them in KY. Caught plenty of needle nose and spotted gar. I only kept the first one i caught. They amaze the hell out of me.
+Louis C based on his comment, there is no evidence that his english is not flawless. it could be flawed, but i believe he was just using slang for the flavor of it.
I love your fishing experience. Reminds me of my childhood in the Texas Rio Grande Valley. Used to fish the canals and resacas when I was about 12-15 years old. Used an old Penn 6-0 with braided line and 3' steel leader. Treble hook was treaded through a small ground dove we killed with BB gun. Then used kite string to wrap up the plucked bird. Hey, thats all we had back 50-60 years ago. Imagine the excitement us kids felt when we dragged in a 5 ft. Monster!!
SharkBaitTV yes i know! there great. but this one partiicular video doesn't seem to show the actual fish. and the fact that you catch bugger and stronger fish and manage to get a close up of them tells me that you were being lazy during the video. use VIVAVIDEO EDITOR to edit your videos. its awsome
We don't have the Alligator Gars here but plenty of longnose and spotted, that get 'big enough'. How are you rigging? They're notoriously hard to get on a hook and some guys use frayed nylon. Any special rig?
I only fish for small games like bass and stripers and Dang I wouldn't fish in that kind of water lol. The water look too scary. Especially on a kayak too? There might be snakes or some other dangerous fish in there you never know! Be careful while your fishing rivers and fishes like these, guys.
My new hobbie is fishing for Gar I think there cool to look at! I mean I don't intentionally try for them it's just they won't stop eating my catfish bait.
Alligators are not and have never been dinosaurs. They just happen to be direct ancestors of very similar looking reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs.
Not too different from how we used to catch sharks on 10lb. test and Northern Pike, catfish, and giant carp on 6lb. test. Just pull the boat, the smaller the better, over the fish so you only have to pull it up. Easy!
That is one hell of beautiful animal, glad you released.
this is just a badass video! Awesome fish!
wish your a good RUclipsr I'm subscribed
haha thanks!! I appreciate it!
These fish have been on the planet for over 95 million years. They have had plenty of time to become absolutely badass.

Loved seeing it jump ... Fantastic powerful fish
Its crazy how these fish have been around since the dinosaurs
Super Fun! Thanks for sharing!
haha wow I caught one (not quite that big) in the same river, but in a canoe. Great Job Man!
Now that was exciting , thanks for the adventure ....
awesome vid man. looks like a great catch
You are one brave fisherman to be in that little kayak with a big predator fish like that, sheesh, i thought muskie were tough
I can tell that was a rush. Nice, from a kayak, I salute you.
What an amazing experience! And the connection you have with the river now. Truly Awesome. Congrats

Trinity river sounds pretty familiar. .Well good catch buddy. ...
The good 'Ol Trinity River. Fished for those gar with bow and arrows on Grapevine Lake and the Trinity. They are as big as you and me.
You let him go. Good job. Fun video.
Amazing, video I was on the edge of my seat too much!
This is O-FISHily on my bucket list!
it's a BIG fish
this looks so fun dude. that gar could've tipped u. great video man and of course awesome fish!!!!
nice catch brother looks like you had fun getting it and you're the man God bless you good luck in the future thanks for sharing the video
In that 2nd “slow-mo” he could have EASILY passed for a small shark 🦈 had I not known otherwise. Awesome catch!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
That folks, is a REAL fisherman to catch and release!!!!
it's obvious you've never went hungry.
+Nick Vandiver be real. you've never had to hunt or fish in order to survive
+Daniel Toribio technically I would have survived without it but I would have had to eat shot that would make me sick
+Shark BaitTV wasn't talking about that fish just about his comment that real fisherman catch an relese
+Nick Vandiver And I'm quite sure, neither have you. Same for Daniel Torbio.
Nice! i got hooked into a 6ft gar last sunday, short lived fight and he cut my line. But im hooked on gar now. Steel leaders and big braided line are now in the tackle box. Cant wait to get out and get a monster.
Going fishing is more adventurous than one may bargin
I've had that tarzan feeling before..nice catch
That's crazy-sick!! Great job
I see these things all the time on the St johns river in florida.
so fantastic Video
That is a dream come true.
dam that was a giant gar,if only you were able to carry it on ground,but you still put it in range for a nice site,realy was a dino gar.
Well this was just Beautiful, cheers mate ;)
Man I would have fed the whole family on that thing
Gar fish fried very delicious
has a naturally salty taste to it.
Amazing
Out of curosity, it looks like you didn't run braid all the way to the hook. What was the breaking strain of the mono/flurocarbon leader you used?
Nice fish that looked like a blast
You are so brave!
Ive always wanted to catch a gator gar, but they didn't have them in KY. Caught plenty of needle nose and spotted gar. I only kept the first one i caught. They amaze the hell out of me.
white people brave af 😂😂😂ain't no way I'm sitting in that little as kayak
+Shark BaitTV he'll yeah I bet they are big as fk
+Aramis Da don You should see the kayaks African tribesmen use.
+Louis C based on his comment, there is no evidence that his english is not flawless. it could be flawed, but i believe he was just using slang for the flavor of it.
+Shark BaitTV Nice catch 👌. 👍
+whats up He's saying it's a white thing becuse usually white people are the ones doing crazy shit
At 4:38 that was a gar you could see the tail

great catch!
Štuka brate , svaka cast

One day I went catfishing and ended up getting a monster fad about 5 foot
Alligator gar ***
Caught a small gar about 3 ft long on 1 piece of sweet corn. XD

Good job henry

If I were to go out on the lake, I wouldn't use a kayak-- I'd use the damn titanic
Id be scared of falling in on such a little kayak lol
Sick Gar
Quite tough that fishpole @@
nice.
very good video super
Buena Pesca... Saludos
What region are you from anyways? , I mean those gars you can also find them in the Brazos river as well.
uuuggghhh!!! i just wanted to see a CLOSE UP SECOND of the darn fish!!!
did that happen? NO
am i impressed? NOOO
SharkBaitTV yes i know! there great. but this one partiicular video doesn't seem to show the actual fish. and the fact that you catch bugger and stronger fish and manage to get a close up of them tells me that you were being lazy during the video.
use VIVAVIDEO EDITOR to edit your videos. its awsome
iiemily shoneii you get out there and do it then

Thanks for the run down. Many more great hookups to ya!
2:10 that gasp though
That had to be a rush and terrorfing to releast.
Damn i catch some with just around 10 pound test They mostly break my line if their decently sized
Papa Pasty I'm a big dog in this
Good
Brad----Found you some dinner!!!
wow
Would have liked to see more
ok

shark bait ooh haha
good luck....
fun😂
Id hate to fish in a kayak
Infested with gar/gators. Nice
If that was an albino gar, those sell in the fish keeping business for around $5,000. Talk about hooking a gold mine.
How does your fishing line hold up to that!?
He has a steel leader and high test line.
My new hobbie is fishing for Gar I think there cool to look at! I mean I don't intentionally try for them it's just they won't stop eating my catfish bait.
mantap.. dimana lokasi nya teman,,?
I would be so scared
In a kayak where do you put that after you catch it
trinity river. got it. #placestonevergoswimming
you didn't pull out of the water?😞
Alligators are not and have never been dinosaurs. They just happen to be direct ancestors of very similar looking reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs.
i thought he caught a pool noodle at first
Just curious about your rod and reel. Is that Okuma brand?
Thanks. That's a sweet looking set up. Nice gar too
Jason Russell
The mouth looked like a Gator but its a fish !
Gar has eaten many asian carp!
Not too different from how we used to catch sharks on 10lb. test and Northern Pike, catfish, and giant carp on 6lb. test. Just pull the boat, the smaller the better, over the fish so you only have to pull it up. Easy!
Yes
kyaw
Gar is freekin delicious. Fry that shit up dude. All you need is some tin snips.
I load up on them in the spring when they are spawning. I just toss a net on them. They never bite on my lines. What are you catching them on?
Platinum gar
what are those out of the water?!? Was that a swordfish?
huh?
fucking nice fight you had there ! epic! what a monster
I'll never go fishing because what if the fish lets go when it's pulling and the hook catches in your eye
What kind of bait was u using
Thats awsome nice catch where is that at
Thank you next fishin trip is here
Where I come from we don't let nothing go
5:46- VICTORY SCREETCH!!!
