Did that TREE JUST MOVE?! (MONSTER) 

Thanks for watching this video with me and Ty The weird "strange rock" was a iron concretion with Boytroydal limonite Can see allot more of the fish underwater than i figured you would be able too

I’m glad you enjoyed that, but seeing all those chases and failed hook ups was driving me insane

I've caught some impressive trees in my time, sir

Another great video Ty...I love that no matter how many giants you catch or have caught, you still get just as excited about every potential fish!

You need to let them eat the lure for a few seconds longer , especially the larger ones

Talk about having the right friends lol I need more friends like yours!

Omg. The first time I caught an alligator gar, I was about 10 years old and had zero idea that they existed. I was on a boat in the bayou, I reeled it in, a kid so I'm close to the water and then alligator jaws popped up and I threw the whole pole. 🤦😂😂😂 I thought my uncle would never stop laughing. 😂😂😂😭😭😭 (Guess it was a cheap pole lol)

Finds something strange in a place with fossils. "Can i break it?" Every Archeologist ever: *JackieChanWTF.jpg*

Those chunks of petrified wood look so much like some of the pieces of wood I turn into objects of art on my lathe! Oh, yeah.... and the fishing was way cool!

Great video. Watching your clearly genuine excitement catching fish brings back memories of time gone by. Keep enjoying yourselves.

2:42 thank me

Even if you don’t catch em, just seeing them and having them follow the bait is super exciting! Thanks again Ty!✌️And you’re into fossil hunting too. Join the crowd.

Wow cool seeing that big snapping turtle

when those long nosed types of fish slap at your lure, kill the action. They expect baitfish to be stunned by them swinging their nose and then they'll take it.

Those big fish are so quick and so smart! In the blink of an eye that thing snapped on the WP and instantly knew it didn't like it!

Dude what a blast… I’ve been sight fishing for smallmouth, largemouth, pannies, and even bowfin, but never have I yelled “It’s a 5-footer!” while doing so. What a beautiful day with a friend. And the fossils just make it even better!

That looked like a lot of fun. Your enthusiasm is great. And contagious 😅. Sight fishing is like hunting with a reel. Best of both worlds

I love how excited and happy the good catches make you guys get! 😁

Henry is a Dinosaur catching MACHINE 💪💪

Lmao feel like a crack head “Look Look Look Over There “He Still There Right ?” Great video had a blast watching !!!

Sight fishing is the best. even if you don't catch them. If you can get them to strike, that is the best feeling ever. Great video.

Shred up about 6”to 8 “ nylon rope and tie it on-No hooks needed. Awesome stuff as always, Ty🤙🏻

I do enjoy your videos!!

I love seeing you two fish together. Good team and it's so nice to have a fishing buddy and know what you have. Frame that lure with the tooth in it. What a trophy! Always good fish too.

Looks like a ton of fun. Thanks again

Oh wow, fishing and cool rocks, my favourite combo, although mainly agates where I am. Awesome.

Done watching my friend,, thank you for sharing,stay connected godbless

You guys are the Kings when y'all fish together for them gar

Geologist here (also like to fish), the fossil tree with rings would be nice slab at about 1 inch thick and polished. But that will definitely take a stone saw with water because it formed when molecules of quartz substituted for the wood to make the hard fossil. So it is harder than most granite. So it is very hard stuff. Before I would buy any of that equipment (if u don't already have) you can buy polished slabs on ebay. For me this video was awesome mix of fossil trees and 2 species of living fossil fish.

WOW! Did They bite a hole in the plopper?!

Looks like a great place for bow fishing!!

I love your enthusiasm and excitement on every cast it makes the video that much more better and fun... awesome video as always bro

good to see felo fishos taging fish..good onya guys.

GAR FISHING WITH LURES IS THE BEST! You don't get many in the boat, yet the action can be terrific. This video brings back memories of an Everglades, Florida fishing trip I went on many years ago.

That reel sounds sick dude

Very cool! Some guys will be looking for fishing like that and never find it. You guys are blessed

Early crew!

Happy weekend,.👍👍👍

Fun!! maybe like a soft frog lure better have alot of them tho lol. Great stuff tho👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

You should try a frayed yarn lure! No hook needed. Their teeth get hung up in the yarn.🎣

I have a few simple questions to ask you. First question is what type/size reel are you using in the video? Second question is what Lb. Line did you have on before the leader? My final question is what state were you fishing in? Of course if you don't mind me asking. Thanks for the Kool videos you do and the time you take to respond back to your comments.

Wow

Very fun and full of great footage. Thanks again Ty. Keep hanging with the big girls. Gods speed to ya bud 👍🇺🇸

These fish are monsters!

4:08 looks like your boat was still buffering

Nothing like fishing and rock hounding.2 great hobbies.id like to know more about those rocks.once i stumbled on to a jaspertised tree that exposed its self during low water while fishing.to big to move of course but was an awesome find.really liking the size of those gar in that river.great video.

Nice Vid man keep it up!

Petrified wood is awesome, great find. Those fish were awesome to watch.

so cool to see you guys collecting rocks/fossils while fishing. I thought I was the only one who did that..lol

I don't know why but those fish give me the heebie-jeebies. I hate catching them. But once again awesome video

You can make a home made lure from rope to catch those it's really easy 🙂 but awesome vid as always 😉

Wow amazing nice

Haven't read all of the comments but we've had excellent luck with hook-less frayed nylon cord as lures. Just the cheap white with pink cord from HD. We attached to swivels with braided line and use fluro leader. 🤠

If you're reading this post trust me this is one of the best fisherman on RU-vid you want to see monster fish caught this is the man to watch he is the fish whisperer when it comes to catching monster fish don't believe me go back and watch some visso videos and you'll see what I'm talking about you want to see giant fish caught this is the channel to watch

Love seeing monsters. About 20 years ago I lived on a small brackish lake in N.Miami Beach. Would do night fishing in my 18’ deep v with my dad. Floating live mullet. Caught a log, or so I thought. Dead weight for an hour on 25 lb test. Got it alongside the boat and it was a massive gar, as long as the boat, beak about 2’ long and 2” scales! There are hidden giants out there for sure. Oh, released the old dud unharmed.

You guys keep rocking, so quite in the 🎣... 😉

Glad to see I'm not the only fish nerd. Ichthyology is definately a career I would consider.

It looked like a black ghost!! Cool

Addicted to your channel, after watching many of your vids I've got to say it holds true that eveything is bigger in Texas! Avid fisherman from Ohio.

We spent a night trying to catch long-nose that way. It is a blast to have them striking and following all night long, even if you don't get them in. When I was wading in coves as a kid, I used to catch gar on prop baits on Lake Fort Phantom. Great memories.

What a fun video. Always expect you to catch big fish and this was a really cool one without catching them. Really enjoyed the exploring the scrounging area. Keep doing that in future videos

Good video

I've seen a lot of videos online but the site fishing in this was spectacular. Awesome video!

I'm just glad that I'd he catches it he sets it free☺️

Where were you fishing at? I live in central Texas and would love to check out that spot.

It's really important to practice catch and release with this of this size the Trinity River in Texas is one of the few places where anglers can still catch fish this large it's important to practice catch and release.

Whats your opinion of using nylon rope lures for gar fishing

OOH YEAH CONGRATULATIONS TO Y'ALL BOTH TOGETHER👏

Try a figure 8 when the fish follow your lure right up to the boat. That was pretty exciting watching those gar follow your lure. And talk about petrified wood! That alone was a great catch! Great video. I look forward to each time you post. From Utah to Texas, tight lines and may God bless you each and every single day!!

Thank you, sweeties, that was totally awesome. I was excited with you. Made me not think about my depression.

I remember as a child giving fishing shows a chance (repeatedly) and being so incredibly bored. You never really saw anything, the camera angles were bad. The hokey added music and stuff was terrible. They had no real personality. I despised fishing shows. I'm not sure if it's you or the go pro or what, but this.. makes me really miss fishing. This was *fun* to watch.

The petrified 🪵 was cool

1:48 Actually that's a Alligator Gar! I love those things!

Man that was awesome Ty and with the petrified wood . Good fishing and a good find on the wood so cool

Eastern Texas is an alluvial plain, so this is typical of east Texas rivers. Since the terrain is so flat, the rivers, especially in the eastern half of the state, have extremely little current unless there had been a recent rain, and are therefore often quite muddy. However, these rivers are home to some impressive fish.

Hi boys. Great video, thanks.

That was fun to watch. 🙌

You should try a Musky rubber Tiger Tube for those. Something they can grab onto and hold onto might work better.

Who’s land did you take those pieces off of? Not sure they’d be to happy if they knew.

Are you kidding?! Gar on a whopper plopped! Who would've thunk 🤔😂 I'm always looking for fossils and artifacts when I fish. Too many pigs on that reel!😂😂😂 Thanks Ty

I've commented before and this time is no different. I just have to, dude your the absolute master in my eyes of just manimalizing a fish. Grabbing it trebles and all to get it on board. But to watch you "try" and set your hook well it's all kinds of excitement, on your behalf. Of I remember correctly the fish should have hook set in its mouth then what like a ninja you drive the hook home as it was an manuver done while blind folded. I think today's sets, one hit you bud in the forehead and another had a set of gar lips on the hook nothing else. I went to feeling tickled , thanks

You should go to the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, TX. They have a huge petrified tree that was compressed by the sedimentary layers before it petrified. Plus sooo many other mind-blowing artifacts!!

Y'all should come up to Pennsylvania there's some pretty massive fish up here

Yooo took a hiatus for a while got hooked on other video but now im addicted to watching fishing again. Great video as always ty, nice fishin. Keep it up, tight lines brother

Great video! 🏆👊🏽🐗

Love yalls videos man. You and Henry are a great duo !

Wow good video, I could see everything.👍

This was amazing looked like a blast

What all do you suggest for large gar as far as crankbait or artificial

Tie some frayed rope to those hook shafts so more of the fish will stay on!

Great vid Ty .... watchin from New Zealand 😎

Why does that reel sound so "crunchy"?

Why is your trace so highly visible? What's it made out of? When we fish for pike in the UK we use a much thinner trace that's hard to see in the water. Might be why a lot of them were hitting the lure but not properly biting it in my opinion.

Another great video. I need to come to Texas lol. I'd give it two thumbs if I could.

Those are some of the biggest Long Nose I have ever seen!

What lure/ rig would you use if you were to go back and try again?

You two should be featured on an episode of River Monsters

Fun one to watch! Can’t wait for you to somehow pull off a 7 fter on a whopper plopper

You need to use live bait with a treble hook. After they hit, you’ll need to free spool the line for 1-5 minutes sometimes 20... They’ll swim up and down the stream/river for a while before you can set the hook.

When ur going after gar like that, take a piece of frayed string or carpet and tie it to ur bait. Gar teeth are slightly serrated causing them to get hung up on the string. It doesn't hurt them, but you'll more hook ups.
