Des Plaines River Fishing - I caught my first ever Gar on a bass lure!!  

great job on the fishing man and enjoyed the video as well !!

Love all your videos but especially love your river videos. I started pikin a few years ago on the river, and have branched out since like it seems you have too, but its great seeing you out exploring the good ol DPR Jungle. I also got my first gar last year too, I was pumped 😂🔥

I still have yet to catch a gar in the DPR. I usually get smallies and largemouth in that stretch of river. Nice video!

What part of the Des Plaines River is that?

Feisty gar

Wow a Gar

You seen alot of Gar by that area? What about Sauger?

Dang thats crazy, I've seen a decent amount of gar in the river over the years but they all look to be about a tenth of the size of the one you caught 😅 so I don't know how to catch em but I always see them splashing out in the summertime.

I remember when you first started using that jointed fluorescent Rapala lure…

What part of the Des Plaines River is that? I wonder if I could kayak on it.

I use to fish that bridge back in the 80's only caught small catfish

So gar like those worms too. I can't get gar to bite anything.

I had no clue we had needle gar up here
