My wife is encouraging in the same way. I love taking her fishing. She also will tell me she saw something epic even if she missed it. She shares in my excitement too. One time we were kayak fishing off shore and a huge turtle came up right beside us. I knew she didnt see it but she swore she did for a day or two lol
You’re blessed to have Claudia there with you enjoying her day alongside you! Great video
Blessed indeed brother & I don’t take her for granted! Thanks for the comment!
This video was very enjoyable! Super cool looking spot as well
When fishing gar use wire for the leader also when you mentioned bites but reeled nothing those are gars. They bite but dont swallo, keep feeding the line until they move the bait more down and then set the hook hard
Man I would have loved to have that Gar… perfect eating size
Great job on this video sir. I am happy to see you out there. We are on the opposite end of the spectrum here north of you in Deep East Texas, it is flooding here, Caddo lake is flooded, LOP is flooded, The rivers Are flooded, it is a crazy time with all the rina we have been getting. I seen this posted 3 days ago and it is still crazy here. Yeah, I agreee, you dont want to hit your lady in the face with the hook hahaha, Yes sir, call it a catch, you did a great job, I need to get a lasso I guess, I plan on trying to catch some garr this year, I have accidentally caught a couple, not trying to in the past, got them close and didn't land them, so not officially a catch, but want to learn how and make some fish tacos with some and see how awesome that would be. This fish are amazing in their own right. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us and I hope you both have a blessed week my friend. PS, new sub, keep up the fun videos. Dale
I appreciate the comment & the sub!
your videos are so peaceful
Nice video. If you woulda said you were fishing in the Kankakee river in Indiana, nobody would have known the difference. Some gar, and about everything else you can think of. If you go about 30 miles north, you can hit the rivers that dump into lake michigan, and get salmon and trout the size of that gar you landed. Oops, sorry. I forgot. Everything's bigger in Texas! Good luck. 👍
i live right next to lake lewisville in dallas. i catch tones of big shad nad throw em out there. and for some reason gar like it a lot more then bufflao. its weird
Fantastic video bro and I like your cowboys shirt 😂
Appreciate it brother 😂
its that shirt lol bad luck🤣
I don’t disagree with you 😂
I Enjoyed the video though.
@@Franklinoutdoors1 thank you brother!
🤣🤣🤣
im not even gone lie to you boss i be fish gripping em when i dont have my rope as long as they smaller then 5 foot
That’s how I should’ve did it lol I was def being scary that day 😂
This was very entertaining lol
Appreciate the comment bro!
I know this guy!
Gar love cut bait!
There are 5-6 inch wire lines packs cabellas not to expensive no shame n praying...👍🙏
Where at in TX are you?
That spot is beautiful. What are you talking about?😅
Where in Texas are you located? I’m in south Texas and the rivers are so low and infested with gar.. I use a shimano bait runner with 60lb mono for gar cause they get big outhere
Yes I’m also South Texas, typically I run 100LB main line and 300LB braid when I target big 6-7ft Gar
Yeah man I’m in San Antonio and we definitely need rain, rivers and lakes are drying up fast… and gar are over populated just eating everything up it’s hard to fish for cats or bass
Recently on lake PALASTINE I caught a huge striped bass while tight lining with cut shad off the bank. I don't know why he hit it but he dang sure did. At first I thought for sure it was a feisty blue until he surfaced. Not sure why he hit cut bait. Never had that happen to me.
@@user-df8ji4sj8s yessir hybrid bass will 100% hit some cut shad, especially during the spring.
Mite have just been really hungry…😂😂
Only advice I'd give is to clean your gopro every once in a while and If you get/have a hero 7 black or newer, it shouldn't shake as much with the right settings. Otherwise man, that's a good day of fishing.
Yeah man that’s typically not a problem, I hate that I didn’t check on the lens the whole time I was out there lol it drove me insane while I was editing the video!
@@Fisherman_JMA I feel you. I just went through some video that had all bad audio to it. I have an external mic and it was all static. I should have checked it, but I lost 2 outings due to it. It happens and yes, it's frustrating as hell
White bass love shad gizzards Gar are good eating grilled with Booty rub seasoning
what river is this
What river is this?
You don't set the hook when using circle hooks.
That spot looked like a gar infested area....
Where is this??
Does the Trinity River in Dallas have Gar?
Yessir! Trinity River is one of if not the BEST river for catching Alligator Gar! Give it a shot
yes and the elm fork. that leads up to lewisville
years ago Grapevine Lake had lots, i dont know about today
Where are you fishing at? Looks like a spot out in granger
Nah brother I’m fishing out the college station area
Where yall at?
Where is this location it
Need that rig asap
I gotcha man, it’s a Santee Cooper Rig
What type of fishing pole is that?
Penn Battle, Penn Pursuit & Ugly Stik were the 3 rods used
Why do you have a weight on with a cork?? The weight of your bait should be enough to cast
Where in Texas is this?
Wanna know some honey holes hmu!
That's not a Carolina rig bro
Never called it a Carolina rig.. it’s a Santee Cooper rig.
@@Fisherman_JMA right one, looks more like a three-way rig
@@xtremetrophyfishing lol cmon man how you gonna try to tell me what I’m using… it’s not a three way rig. All three rods had the same rig
@@Fisherman_JMA gotcha
Yep, Santee Cooper catfish rig. Man, you let some good meat get back in that river. Freaking gar are pretty rough on the game fish. I see them take a lot of small ducks and young mallad ducklings off my brother's yacht in the Kemah yach marina. Need a small hand axe or tin snips to split the hide down the back to filet out the back meat. Gar balls make a great fish dinner. Good luck.
There is one bait to catch catfish in gar infested waters that gar won't touch. It's a cut bait. That's all I'll share amateur. Every real cat man knows the secret. Good luck
I literally used cut shad Einstein.
I'm so confused here... Catfish are the only fish that eat cut bait? You mean those thousands of gar, largemouth bass, musky, walleye, dog fish, drum and everything else were just accidentally hooked? huh... who would have thunk it... You must be a catfishing professional with that type of knowledge. Please do share with the world...
I'm not talking about cut shad goof nut. I'm talking about a bait gar won't touch. Einstein. I never said a word about cut shad.
You mean Gut bait? Catfish love liver
@@robertbernal7325 not liver. Gar eat that too.
