Crankbait Fishing Below the Dam - Surprising Fish Catch! (Realistic)

I was fishing with a crankbait below the dam, and I caught a surprising fish! I actually caught three of them. With a baitcaster and a Cotton Cordell Super Spot crankbait, I managed to catch three nice gar. I caught two of them in the mouth, and one in the tail. I had no idea Gar would go for a lipless crankbait. The walk down to the dam can be a bit tricky but the long walk was worth it. I still cant believe I caught three gar on one trip. If you have a chance to fish below a dam, maybe try a lipless crankbait and catch a surprising fish like a gar.

Gar tend to hold onto stuff until you get good bend in the rod, either to aggressively attack with the infamous lure slingshot technique, or to just find out they don't want it lol. Usually have good luck with Beetle Spins on them.

Came to watch another vid after your night time Texas rig purple and gold curly tail worm bass video. This vid is one I missed in the past but it's perfect timing for me! I say that because people around my area are asking about the Walleye fishing below one of the dams. A lot of folks think the gar pushed them out? Idk. Don't know much about gar, so this was a good vid for me. Thanks!

@jamiefarrell5702 5 лет назад

Just some tips when catching gar are have a rag on hand to grip them, pliers, and you can step on theirs head and use your pliers for unhooking them and the rag to grip them to toss him back. But great video keep up the great work.

@samuelwarden6285 5 лет назад

Great vid Alex. I have heard of people using a white rag without a hook to catch gar. It gets hung in there teeth. I always say there won't be any bass around where there are gar. Could just be me but I have never caught any bass where there were a lot of gar surfacing. 👊👍

@teamcramerfishing8441 5 лет назад

You're smarter than me! Several years ago I was fishing below a dam like that with only my rod and lure just like you, except I was using a top water Pop R, and I caught the biggest gar I have ever seen. I landed him and my lure was chomped down in those teeth and I thought what the hell am I going to do now. I yelled down at another guy fishing down the way and he came over with a pair of giant channel locks and we got the lure out. I still have the lure to this day! I'm going back to that spot next month, maybe I can catch another one with the same lure :) I wasn't smart enough to just pick a stick up and pry my lure out, though :)

@discoveryoutdoorskcfishing236 5 лет назад

If you enjoy catching gar I got a little trick for you. Take some fishing line around 20 lb monofilament clear and bird nest it up in your hand and then put it around your treble hook and use a clear zip tie to zip tie it to the hook. This will get caught up in the Gars teeth and you can use pretty much any bait to catch gar. You just happen to have the right bait as far as crankbaits go or lipless either way works pretty well on gar.

@randallpinkfloyd7225 5 лет назад
