You should have covered long nosegar and alligator gar hybrids which occur naturally in the wild which are fairly common

These are elusive, magnificent animals. As a kid I hunted for months to catch one live was unsuccessful.

Some really good catches I've tried catching some down on Lincoln Beach boat harbor couldn't get into them looks like you gotta be out a little further

I was Kayaking years back in a pretty clear channel and something bumped my kayak. I looked down and at 1st thought it was an alligator. It was actually 2 massive Alligator Gar.

Longnose gar are actually quite plentiful all throughout lake champlain, even the southernmost part "South Bay" where I fish for them quite far down on the Vermont-NY border! It is where the state record had been for years until this most recent summer.

I hate that I don’t get salmon in Alberta I’m so close but so far😭

Fun fact a common nickname in Canada and upper Midwest for walleye is also pickerel even tho they aren’t related

Gar meat is good to eat

New subscriber here. These are great. Thanks for another great video. Keep it going 😎🎣👍

Large (over 8') Alligator Gar are abundant in river deltas and inlets in Florida.

So you’re telling me that a gar licked this bread?

I have on several occasions seen gar alive swimming in lakes in mid and northern Michigan

The term "Dog Salmon" came about because being the last Pacific salmon species to return to their home rivers, they were caught to feed sled dogs through the brutal Alaskan Winters.

Are you kidding gar fish is one best tasting fish’s on the North American continent in my own personal opinion

A duck species video would be great.

In the 1970s my Dad and I would bowfish for carp and gar in Lake Amistad, west of Del Rio, Texas. My bow was weak and the arrows would just bounce off the armor of the gar, Dad's was stronger so he did bag probably 5 in all over the years. Alligator gars also can breath air, they act like a whale and suck in air in some kind of orifice, it makes quite a loud noise! Their flesh is beautiful looking but tastes muddy, we ate it anyway, by chopping it fine and mixing in a lot of cornmeal, a little milk, and roll into balls to deep-fry. Ate with lots of tartar sauce! I saw some small fish in the Persian Gulf that looked like gar but only about 8 inches long.

haha that bass wanted to go home with ya. Good to see ice at Utah lake!

I Love the Cinematics, also your great commentary! Amazing video as usual.

Here in Kentucky just like the rock bass we also have the warmouth which fall in that category

Sweet intro Nathan👍

Good non-stop action for your boy.

The ol olympic dive!

Kid's say the darndest things

To my knowledge the Arctic Grayling is native to the upper Bear River drainage when pioneers came over. There is a population that persisted, now it’s supplemented by the DNR. At one time the bull trout called the Bear River home now locally extinct. It was recorded by Naturalist surveying the area not too long after the land was settled.

Should do videos on fish from other countries

Would be cool if you made a sunfish video with all common sunfish, crappie, rock bass etc!

I LOVE GAR!!!!

Bro absolutely love this. I found gar fishing recently and wanted to know more! Love this and your channel thank you

And down around Cuba they have the sea gar😅

There is also the hybrid gar. Very rare its a cross between an alligator gar and a long nose. I don't think they can reproduce though. They get almost as big as the alligator gars

I’ve seen some giants. I must live in an area where they get big. I’ve seen them 8 feet long and just to make sure I wasn’t misjudging as a kid, I’ve seen them 7 foot as an adult. There were two other grown men with me when we saw two, 7 footers. Indiana lake, Union MI, north east side just inside the drop off, they were swimming nose to tail and originally looked like one animal. That was pretty erie actually, how when we first saw it, it looked like it was 13 feet long. There was no telling them apart as not being one until they kind of split up a bit. The one I saw as a kid was an orange speckled one and then later the two we saw were jet black. I believe the speckled gar can be very orange or very black or any mix of the two. Some of our waterways you can’t throw a minnow without catching a gar. You have to have a leader to get them to shore without a lot of luck tho.

Yep caught Gar in lakes and streams in East Texas, in Athens. To 40 pounds..

I don' think humans have the right to designate some animals "trash species". Very obvious case of the pot calling the kettle. In fact, WE are responsible for many of the invasive species that have destroyed native habitats. This series is great, we can always use more informative content in the hobby of fishing.

When I was a kid, in the '80s-'90s, I had a Spotted Gar in my 100gal Native-fish Tank. At 8"-long, it could EAT any fish that was ~half its length, to my surprise & sorrow; within a month, I only had Channel Cats, Bullheads, and Bass and a large Placostamus, left alive (because they were all overly big to swallow, though the Gar did try). [Luckily, I didn't put it in my prized 75gal Tank: Red Finned Rainbow Shiners, Neosho River & other Madtoms, Orange Finned Darters, & Freshwater Hydras(in a protected-corner & fish-free "box" over the rocks) {{The 7 Red Finns, were of breading-age/size & first-time fertilized, which I had-had them ever-since I was 5y/o (happily living with my Tropicals, including Angels, "Sharks", Neons, Glass Fish, Cooley Loach, Fantail Guppies, a Bullfrog/Leopard-frog Tadpole, crabs, shrimp, crawdads, and Fire Newts), before 'someone', during a house-party, poured a foreign-liquid ("clear" tea/pop/?) into _that_ Tank and killed *everything* {but the Newts} within two-days, even after transferring them into another clean Tank. Sadly, Red Finns are now Endangered & very-rare.}}; or placing the Gar into my 50gal "variable" River-Fish Tank. The Gar was too long, and dangerous, to put-in with my Pond/Lake Fish within their two 25gal Tanks, nor the four 10gal Minnow Tanks {one containing a baby 2" Long-Nose Gar, the only one I ever caught, that died because, I couldn't locate any _newborn_ Guppies/Tadpoles/etc. to feed-it after I had netted it on the local River sandbars, at Summertime}; our Kitchen's wall was set-up like Petland, replete with a Tiger Salamander as a faux-'Axolotl', Spotted Cave Salamanders {from the "cave spring" under my basement-floor; where I got ALL the water for my Tanks}, Brown-lined Field Salamanders and their prey, Water-fleas{during their "gilled"/nymph-stage} & Spring Peepers{tadpoles & adults}, worms, minnows, roaches & crickets, etc. to feed the Adult Salamanders; Crayfish & Hermit Crabs were used as "cleaners", because the Salamanders would eat the Guppies & Minnows form within their pump-filtered "swimming pools".] And, after 10-yrs, the Spotted Gar was getting too big to successfully turn-around in the tank, without flipping-over, while hunting-down its weekly Goldfish/bait-fish (and I didn't want-to risk putting it in my Koi & Fancy-Goldfish Pond), so I drove-it to the river, within its Native Territory, and set it free; after 15-mins or-so of bucket-acclamation, before it slowly swam out-of the bucket and sank out-of sight, "forever". I miss having Fish, but "apartment living" is not conducive to that Hobby, with my having-to move every 2-4 years. Maybe if-and-when I have a house of my own? And, _IF_ I somehow become wealthy enough, I can create an insulated cold-water, graduated to 10'-deep, fast-flowing channel-way, of a meandering river-section, as an Indoor Floor-into-Wall Fish Tank for raising Rainbow Trout, to feed me/my-family and my "pet" Alligator Gar, year-round?

Gar are one of the best tasting fish. I don't know why people think they are trash fish.

Not trying to be that guy but largest Alligator Gar was not caught in Mississippi River but an oxbow called Lake Chotard that used to be part of Mississippi River. It’s the only thing of note to come out of that oxbow so can’t let it go without it’s record.

Fish continuously grow until their death.

In my area, the alligator gar have very striking pink fins and belly with a greenish back when young. They fade as they get bigger. First time encountering gar as they surface next your kayak is a bit scary tbh.

wow and zamzam water

Caught a few in the Big Raccoon creek in Parke county Indiana back in the 1960’s. My grandfather would throw them up on the bank for the raccoons to eat.

Not much variation because there is no missing link and there is no evolution.🧬 God said let there be!

Thanks for the trout imfo

You should do a video on the freshwater perch family.

My Cajun friends eat them! They have a dish called "Gar Balls". It's like meat balls, but Cajun style!!! Very good!!!

What about the Himalayan Snowcock in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada?

Great video. Not to be that guy but if you want to see some massive gator gar look at my page lol, just thought you might find them interesting

Shortnose gar are the most cold hardy species. I've seen them in Montana and North Dakota in the Missouri River.

Looks like nothing is natural to eastern pa except yellow perch.

Since I like carp maybe do a large minnows of North America range type video 😁

Alligator fat are found in may lakes and rivers in Oklahoma and northern Texas
