Searching for Gar in a Florida Spring

At the end of winter / early spring, gar gather in large numbers in Florida springs to spawn. My friend, Bill Hawthorne is an amazing underwater photographer and is working on documenting these spawning events. I went with him in hopes of capturing some behind the scenes footage for him. Although we didn't see any spawning activity, we definitely saw quite a few gar and loads of other awesome wildlife as well! Check out the link below to see his channel.
Thanks so much for watching! Let me know what you think in the comments :)

I went diving in Rainbow River in December and we saw them. It was awesome.

THIS GAVE ME FLASHBACKS! I went on a retreat at Rainbow River in 2019 and just remember paddling all the way up and down from the house for the week, and learning to hold my breath for dives and finding out that fish have different personalities!
Thank you so much for making this! I watched it with my little sister and she was amazed because livng in Soflo, unfortunately, the spots like that down here are few and far, and usually need a boat or money to get to.
