This Is Why You Throw BIG BAITS In City Water! (A MONSTER Fish Lives Here!) 

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

Big respect for making sure the lasso was past the fins. A lot of people forget or don’t care to do that and can end up doing some real damage to the gills.

I respect the care and attention you take to avoid doing more harm than is necessary for catch and release

Got love the respect he has by fishing for personal memories and releasing the fish for the next generation to enjoy the experience too. Love the video man!

A gar like that deserves to live forever.

Thank you for letting it go. It has been in there all this time and I'm really happy to see it go back. I know most people will say it's just a fish, but it's part of our ecosystem and you are a good ambassador.

The respect and admiration you showed that gar was truly touching. You're a true sportsman. Good on ya, man.

Your care and appreciation for fishing definitely deserves a show🙂👍

This was good, need more of this

Several takeaways; 1. that's one of the most impressive freshwater videos I've seen on RU-vid. 2. Sweet release. 3. You've got quality tackle and quality camera gear. Invest $30 in a couple of sand spikes. As a guy who beach sharks, it's going to be a sick feeling to watch hundreds of dollars worth of rod and reel launch off that muddy bank being towed by one of those dinosaurs. Even with a light drag or open bail your line could wrap a guide or backlash that conventional. 4. Still impressive AF! Subbed.

This is the first time that I've seen one of your videos and I have to say that I'm impressed. You presented this clip really well and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers mate 👍

Watching you pick up that fish and lay that bait right it's path, and then set the hook was a thing of beauty to watch. You're a hell of a fisherman.

When you said gar, I was expecting a baby but that thing was the real deal. An absolute unit. What a legend. To think that lives in city waters.

That was seriously impressive, from catch, to adjustment to hold and a finish of the release...Well done, well done indeed!!!

Absolutely loved how you treated that gar with respect. Got your picture, took out the hook and got her right back in. Catch and release is why we get to enjoy the big ones. Awesome video

Wow! Who would have thought there would be monster fish like that living in city water canals? That is awesome.

Man I’d never go home if I had fishing like this near me ! Absolutely brilliant dude great vid 👍

Watching you pick up that fish and lay that bait right it's path, and then set the hook was a thing of beauty to watch. You're a hell of a fisherman. Although people prefer catch and release, a part of me wishes I could see a go pro view of you walking around the city with a 5 foot Gar in your hands and the citizens reactions.

Now that was amazing. Watching you catch those fish was awesome. You have great respect for the fish. The Beauty of each fish shows as you catch them. Thanks for taking us along. I'd give you a high 10 for sure. 👍🏻😎

You enthusiasm and respect for the animals is beautiful. Be safe, keep up the great work.

It's beautiful to see someone else that takes such care with the fish they catch. It should be obvious to an outsider that if you want good fishing then you need to take care of both fish and their habitat. But a helluva lot of 'fishermen' seem to forget that. This was great to see - both how to catch and how to care. Good man!

great video. i like how you take care of the fish, even using small barbs which helps removing the hooks without any damage.

Awesome to see a big city alligator gar of such stature. Nice catch…and release!

man I was clueless! I've never even heard of a fish like that! what an awesome video, that thing looked prehistoric! thank you so much!

Wow! I lived in Houston almost fifty years and fished buffalo bayou only once on the west side of attics reservoir just a little off fry road. Caught some pretty big bass but never anywhere around downtown. Stude park on white oak bayou was my go to for cast netting finger mullet to feed the bull red's off Bryan beach and the Brazos river. Thanks for posting this.......

I appreciate seeing the small flat heads just as much as the big ones you catch. Great video and love that fishing spot!

I love that he respects the fish enough to say him.. or her! Haha. Such a beautiful specimen and a great catch my friend! Happy fishing.

I just caught the BIGGEST ALLIGATOR GAR EVER FILMED in our newest video here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DOpwlo7Lmjo.html

Powerful fish!!! They can live for a long time. Great video.

Dude, that was am amazing catch - well done and congrats!

I like how you can tell how much you love fishing and the actual fish. I usually give them the bait at the end too but if you’re short then you gotta conserve lmao!

Holy crap , can only imagine what people would be thinking when you roll up to a fishing spot in the middle of town carrying a lasso , well done mate

most incredible fish ive ever seen caught by someone catch at a no frills body of water/ just amazing

wow, I see why they got the name Alligator Gar! Great video, thanks for sharing and the great care you took in protecting the fish while getting it ashore!

Go down where buffalo bayou crosses under I 45 next to the cemetery .I used to catch gar like that back in the early 80s right under the bridge. Glad you posted this because everyone thought I was lying about it..

Gotta be my favorite fresh water fishing channel knowing it’s in my city man much respect I need to get out to these bayous more

Holy God _!_ I was not expecting such a big fish. Congrats.

Respect. This is the first time I've seen such a big monster fish.

You know you are in Texas when even fishing requires a lasso. Amazing fish, well done.

Just subscribed to your channel I'm a fisherman and love it when I catch a monster thank you for sharing with us this great catch !! I look forward to seeing more awesome videos shout out from Oregon!!

The fish you catch are probably experiencing the most love and appreciation theyve ever had i bet. It would be like getting abducted by aliens and they just bombard you with compliments and describing how beautiful you are to them, then being dropped off at home again.

I don't think you will ever go hungry! I have only ever fished in the sea, 3 times! All small fish. You seem to find the best places to go!👍🏾

This is incredible. First video from your channel I've ever watched. Nice job.

Yup. A offshoot of buffalo bayou ran by the campus and I would go there all the time. I remember the urban youth looking at me like "what are you doing?" But for me it was a private fishing spot. Big Gar, Big Bass, big grass carp, big koi fish, big cats. Now they're turning it into a park and cutting the vegetation away and landscaping it to make it more accessible. So rip to that spot lol

Wow brilliant catch and respect shown to the fish

This is legendary. Great work! Props from MS as you've more than earned this sub.

Great Vid man! Love how you appreciate the natural beauty of these fish, and the respect you show.

If all the fishing holes weren’t frozen over I’d be trying to catch a gar like that! Nice catch man!

Wow what a catch… Thank you for letting that beauty live another day…. Respect to you Sir.

Seriously? The size of the fish you caught towards the end of the video was shocking to see in such waters. Just highlights that you never know what's truly lurking in waters today. Great video upload. Thanks for sharing.

What a great fishing video ! And you do it without any obnoxious , Stupid music either . Bravo !

Dude. Seriously, that's a MONSTER!! Good Job!!

Back in the sixties we fished for gar. Gars fight like crazy and is a big thrill for a kid. This brought back some great memories. Thanks for the video.

I was really glad to see you turned that monster loose. You can tell the character of a man by the way he treats animals. Subbed/liked.

It's nice to see someone that actually cares about the fish

Nice gar I hooked about a 7 footer 3 years ago it almost dragged me in, I had to sit down and reel the reel was singing and the rod was making cracking sounds it finally straightened out my hook like the one you was using it got away but it sure was a fun fight, congratulations on that big gar.

Wow, I have never seen a gar that big, that was awesome!

Fisherman Idubbbz, great content, fishing is such a mood, your videos makes me want to figure out my dads old fishing box and go fish and relax

Huge fish!!

Besides the beautiful fish you have caught. But the peace of mind is the greatest part of fishing to me. Good video my brother,have a blessed day and many more.👍

Wow I’m surprised that this man handled this fish amazingly

Awesome for letting that monsters go man! Mad respect

Really appreciate the hard work man. Great video.

Absolute beast! Great catch!

Beautiful knot work, much respect. I ❤️ fishing 🎣🦦🦈

Holy crap Dude! Love your channel btw! Thank you for sharing and thank you for loving all animals.

Great fish. So happy that you released it to breed and fight another day.

The last time I fished like that was with my grandpa but he passed away a while ago and this video really took me back so thank you.

Well done for catch and release. What a beautiful fish.

Good man! Glad to see you handling such a special fish with such care and not keeping them out of water for too long. Excellent excellent catch. Subscribed.

That was a magnificent catch ! Bravo 👏

First time catching one of your vids. I live in Philly after moving up here from Lake County,Fl,so that's right in the city water with 2 rivers. Been fishing just salt water over 20 years and just recently took up freshwater again. Lot of new stuff and ways these days.

Wow man you are skilled! that looked as big as you. Amazing, thanks for sharing this

Catching an actual alligator would have been easier. Well done, sir. Very cool.

Cool content. It was nice to hear your enthusiasm and appreciation with the catfish.

5:00 personally I think (and am biased bc i catch them all the time lol) Blue Catfish are the prettiest due to their blue/purple/silver pattern that i find in Falcon Lake here in TX, but yes indeed, very nice looking flathead, awesome video 👏

Thank you for the video. Dwayne Davis, a good friend of mine who has passed away, had the same love of fishing that you show. I would have told my friend Dwayne to bring that thing home and I will clean it and fry it up. Great job fishing! Great catch. Keep up the good work. PS What city is it?

What a magic moment….for both you & the lucky alligator gar. Bravo

Thank you very much for releasing her. Nice fish and congrats.

Outstanding video! What an incredible fish. I'm not a fisherman but enjoyed watching you reel him in. Am glad you appreciate nature by placing him back in the water so he can continue living. Thumbs up!

Holy moly, amazing catch! The lakes and rivers are frozen over here for now, but I’m dreaming of bass fishing again in a few months already and getting my fix watching other peoples fishing videos. Congrats on this one, beautiful fish! My biggest catch last year was about a 5lb bass as big as my torso…but I hooked bigger and he snagged me in the reeds and got away!!! I’m still learning rig techniques and to tire them out, haha.

I always thought flathead looked like a wad of snot however i think they are the best eating catfish great video even better fishing 🎣😀

Beautiful gar! Thanks for sharing..

Great video, the big ones always get us the muddiest. It’s like a temporary badge of honor walking back to the car covered in it.

Спасибо за увлекательные сюжеты,хорошее отношение к природе.Сработала пословица-хорошо там,где нас нет.Я в таком случае иногда отвечаю:да,хорошо,если бы Вы там были, то небыло того ,что Вы видели.Еще раз благодарю и буду ждать интересных видео.

this was awesome came up in my recommended. if only times were like they used to be with going fishing being of quality time with family and friends.

Really nice of him to release the fish he caught including the big one. :)

Not sure if I am more impressed or jealous for not having that kind of waters and fish to catch.

Making me wanna go back out and see if I can’t catch one even though it’s cold…

Nice job! Subscribed! 😎 Keep ‘em coming 🎣

You shin-checked a giant alligator gar. I love it. I'll have to tell people about this one. For somebody who loves both types of battles, this was both entertaining and fulfilling. Very happy for you and the gar. That fish is likely as old as some people's grandparents, if not older. Great catch and release.

The blue channel and the channel are truly the most beautiful of catfish.

That's what i'm talking about!!! Nice work!

That might actually be the most amazing video I've seen on YT

Nice video man love your videos keep up the good work and go catch some more big ones and that gar was beautiful

Hope all is well my dude hope you and the family is good. Watching from the UK as always 🇬🇧💪🏻

Funny how so many people don't realize how many or how large the fish can be in such a small bayou tributary I've cought monster yellow cats in the rice canals in Galveston county but the thing to remember is that they are part of the Brazos River. The same thing is true about Dallas and Fort Worth because the same small tributaries supply the Trinity River. Just because you don't see other people fishing those areas doesn't mean their isn't a monster fish right under their nose.

Beautiful fish. Hope it lives another 100 years

What a gorgeous creature. Deserves every ounce of respect

I fish the Brazos and when I’m not there I’m on the coast . But I always notice you not using a rod holder , I lost one hell of a combo that way. The water was high and running laid the rod down while tending to another and I heard it hit boy was gone so fast . I say this because I have an excellent holder I’ll give you, we use the same pack and it fits inside perfectly. I’m in Houston all day this week driving all around and can meet anytime. Let me know if your interested.
