I think this is one of my favorite videos, the way you just told that one chilling next to the net “get out of here” and he immediately swam away, the big one that turned around and wanted to fight, the gars that were literally just sitting in the net not even stuck. Hilarious
I've been aware of Gar, but never actually dealt with them, or know anything about their habits Do they just like, swim all together as a ball? How is this even possible?
Where I am every lake/pond you find is stocked with the EXACT same kind of fish. It's always Catfish, Largemouth bass, Bluegill. If you get REALLY lucky someone might have Perch, Bullhead, or green sunfish. My brother was looking at a property that has a lake with virtually no fish. He wants to be an outlier and stock it with Gar and Bowfin.
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher I went back and counted 90 but probably more than that, we didn't see swim off! Great video! Loved it!! Many ppl would love to catch 1 huge gar, but you got the mother load...lol
@@MichaelKaal-TriFishersad part is they ain't good for eating. If they were they wouldn't be so populated nasty little shits can't count the amount of times I've got alligator gar
Thanks for taking the time to release them. I can’t recall how many times I’ve found dead gar that got tangled in nets and rigs and people just ditch the whole rig because they don’t want to deal with it. Which in turn gets other things stuck too.
Michael: "Oh no, I hope its not a tree..." Fate: "Dont worry, you'll love this!" Forced to spend the next 10 minutes digging through a horde of the indigenous hypodermic needle fish 😰
Honestly, this comments just to help you out with the algorithm, especially with the fact that it looks like you replied to every comment. Keep up the good work dude
This may be one of the wildest videos I’ve come across this man was speaking things into existence 100 garr would be bad Pulls 100 garr up I haven’t been bitten yet Proceeds to get bit only a few fish later😂 Maybe try “it would be terrible to win the lottery next time”
I know nothing about fishing and I’ve only ever seen alligator gar in aquariums. This was very interesting and I’m glad the algorithm sent me here so here’s a like and a comment for engagement Cheers!
We catch peanut bunker like this. Last year I caught 91lbs in one throw. But never in my life have I seen that many gar in one spot. That’s one crazy catch👍
@@MichaelKaal-TriFisherTbh, it was really just a lucky day. We had dolphins chasing migratory schools of bunker and Atlantic menhaden off the beach, and the fish were so thick you could literally catch them bare handed. I only know the weight because I ended up selling some to my buddy who owns a bait and tackle shop. Tbh imho…Your catch is way cooler than mine was. My fish weren’t finger biting, net destroying, aggressive dinosaur fish. I’ve never seen so many gar caught in one spot. Do they brood like snakeheads? Sorry for the book😂 Very cool video though👍
I occasionally see fishing stuff on my feed and i had to comment because I ended up showing my dad this, absolutely INSANE catching that many gar in a cast net. Only am sad you didn't give us a pic of the net after that, must've been half-shredded.
I’ve never really fished before or had any experience doing so but watching this video I remember just fishing with my mother. A nice memory gained back.😊
I appreciate how gentle you were with them all, even when you got bit you never released them hard or anything outta frustration. Good on ya sportsman, i pray this never happens to ya again! 😂
we used to stretch a nylon rope across the river and tie a bunch of nylon leaders down the rope, and the gar would come nibble on them and get stuck. after i get sick of untangling them, that experiment was over lol. cool vid man, brought back some memories
some day some one will ask you “what was your luckiest catch” (in terms of fish) this will be up there in the top three i’m sure. was it annoying? yes, picking all those gar out would have been very annoying. was it what you were looking for? no, not remotely. did it really mess up your net? undoubtedly, looked pretty bad from here. but how many people in this world can say they cast a net looking for baitfish, and somehow pulled up and anglers wildest dreams. the sheer dumb luck it takes to find that many gar in your net, dang. kudos on potentially having world record for most gar caught in a single net cast
I really appreciate your respect for the fish. It reminds me a lot of my late grandpa who taught me how to fish. We'd always catch bluegill together. I hope you have a great day and some good catches!
Man, 2 years ago and still one of the wildest fishing videos on UA-cam. Also, I was fishing with my Dad when I was younger, I pulled up a Gar, thought I could just grab it, and bloody thing bit my finger so bad we had to get it checked out by a doctor
this is so funny😭😭 i’m so sorry this happened but how the hell did you catch that many?! also fact that you were like “oooh what if it’s 100 gar🙄🙄” and the proceeded to pick up 100 gar😭
This reminds me when I accidentally got 300 crabs In my set net. Took multiple hours of cutting them all out, they wouldn’t get go of the net and had tangled themselves really badly
I think this is one of my favorite videos, the way you just told that one chilling next to the net “get out of here” and he immediately swam away, the big one that turned around and wanted to fight, the gars that were literally just sitting in the net not even stuck. Hilarious

Me too! And even though it's 2yrs old the guy is still responding!
Same!! New follow
algorithm was really in the mood for gar i guess XD first fishing vid ive seen in months and it was this short
Truly one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen someone catch while fishing
Agreed, I still can’t believe it even happened
“Alright who’s next” for like a hundred gar in a net is just so funny😂

1:51 the fact that the fish listened when he told him to leave is outright amazing

You welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Imagine if you casted into a school of bait fish that big. Good lord i wish 😂

😂 that’s awesome
5:03 "a lot of these are not stuck" and a damn Gar, who was free, swims head first into the net again haha perfect timing
😂 goofy fish
Watching so many just turn around and come back to chill with their buddies. 😂 also, thank you for being kind and releasing all your bycatch!
