In this video I show how I would rig up to catch the smaller gar species (spotted, longnose and shortnose). I ended catching about 10 gar and a bowfin in the bayou this day. Thanks for watching!
Thanks man. I see a lot of gar in my backyard canal and I keep missing them. I didn't realize I was using too big of a hook because they are pretty big so thank you.
Awesome video man. I love how you are respectful of the fish, so many people seem to hate these fish and I don't understand it. They are just amazing native species. Evolutionary powerhouses. Every big gar I've hooked into has always managed to get away. I'd like to start fishing for them so these are great tips.
Thanks for the great info. Have a creek near me that's loaded with gar. So now I know how to do it. Never caught one, so it will be a challenge. New sub.
are alligator gar do not do that I think a loo pound gar than bite mine did not it snaped my line I was using a worm!?!? IDK how but it bites it really big almost took over this small creek
Thank you for the comment about bowfins. I’ve caught them in upstate NY. Outstanding fighting fish. Very fun to get on your line. I call them War fish as they are usually. All scared up. Great video. I’m hoping to land some long nose tonight.
I looove your Gar shirt! I feel the same way about Bowfin, serious jumpers, and that massive throat on em! I love the way they take your bait....and just sit there chewing on it like a boss😂 you can tell they know they aren't going anywhere 🤣
This makes so much sense ! There are a bunch of gar especially huge ass ones in my pond and my neighbors and I have been really defeated on how to catch them. They come up right to the shore directly in front of us and we haven’t been successful.. hoping this can help me out.
awesome video really enjoyed it. haha that small hook is seriously strong XD also liked the closeup footage of the gar feeding on the bait plus the movement of the float too
Good video bud, you can also take nylon twine and tie about 8 inches on and untwist the 3 pieces and fray them out and twitch it on top water. When gar hit they turn and it twist around all his teeth. I’ve caught many like this.
I had 3 big gars today they all got away as soon as i would try to get them out the water was using treb hooks and they were pretty big thanks for the tip will try again tomorrow
Loved this!!! Never fished for gar before... What I wanna know is how you caught that HUGE catfish in your trailer you made!!!!!! What'd you use etc? Still say you need your own TV show 😉🤗
I hate gar! Catfish bait stealers. I let them go if I get one, but damn they are annoying. I landed a five and a half footer a few weeks ago. Gar and turtles are a catfish hunters nightmare. Good video. 👍
We used to catch gar by using cut pieces of rope. About a six inche piece of natural fiber rope, toss it out, reel pretty fast and they will chase it a and attack it. Their teeth get caught in the fiber,and you reel them in? They have two pieces of pretty good meat straight down their sides.
I know it’s kind of a late commend but thanks for the tips. I was trying to set it in the tip of the mouth but now I know I gotta run even longer with it😅
Would a Ugly Stik Gx2 6' Medium Spinning rod with a 3000 Sharky III baitfeeder loaded with 30 pound braid to a 20 lb mono leader work? I have a creek by my house with a 3 - 4 foot gar in it.
if we catch the alligator gar, so we can keep it as a pet? can you inform us that which countries there are in. if you say that they are in Pakistan or Oman or not so you can get the alligator gar to us in Islamabad or in Oman
when i gar fish i swear by treble hooks. it’s a little harder to rig a shiner on, but it has more hooks and an increased hook up ratio. i was using j hooks and i wasn’t getting any hook ups no matter what i did, so i switched to a treble and caught my first gar. i also use 30 lb mono leader, and it actually works well and it doesn’t get cut by the gar when fighting them.
I love how this guy doesn’t yell like crazy when he catches a fish that bends his rod

Exact same for me! I thought my hooks weren't big enough 😅😂
Gar and the bowfin species need to be respected more ,I’m glad to find a you tuber that respects these prehistoric fish .& the shirt looks good .
Great info! Bronze hooks are optimal if you're releasing these brutes, as they decompose faster than others. Tight lines everyone!
Dude, I LOVE your profile picture gotta point that out. A headbangin' fisherman, LOVE IT! Thought I was alone 😂 🤘🎣

Good teaching skills I think I'm going to go try
Great vid, I like how your not trying to plug all this expensive stuff like everyone else
Yeah there's a lot of people that fall into the trap of buying or shilling crap they don't need that's no different from anything that existed before.
Thanks man! I’m new to Houston and looking forward to catching my first gar. Great video
The gharial alligator is what I was looking for, when I ran across your video. Love this. Thanx!
Those gar shirts look great 👍
I use just shrimp not live just frozen from the store, gar love love it
I had 3 big gars today they all got away as soon as i would try to get them out the water was using treb hooks and they were pretty big thanks for the tip will try again tomorrow
The t shirts look dope!
Good man educating folks about bowfin. I hate when ppl kill em
Very helpful, just moved into a new house and there is a bayou right across the street full of gar.
Thank you bro I have been trying to catch a gar for a while
what bayou system is that bro i also live i. houston we have so many bayous with gar
Thank you so much this video was such a help!
Would minnows bought in a bait store work for the bait fish?
Yep
Absolutely 👍
Yep, minnows are found in almost every body of water in the US. Small sunfish would probably work too, o don't see why not at least.
A big one my dad caught a 6 foot gar [bait rock bass]
That wasn't a gar, that was a gator! Lol
Yep 😏
it was an alligator gar my favorite but I've never caught one but I've caught every thing els.
Loved this!!! Never fished for gar before... What I wanna know is how you caught that HUGE catfish in your trailer you made!!!!!! What'd you use etc? Still say you need your own TV show 😉🤗
Best UA-camr ever
I am interested in the gar tee shirt. Great video, thanks.
I hate gar! Catfish bait stealers. I let them go if I get one, but damn they are annoying. I landed a five and a half footer a few weeks ago.
Gar and turtles are a catfish hunters nightmare. Good video. 👍
Not true
I fish catfish on the bottom and bigger gar normally wont hunt at the bottom they usally strike stuff on the surface
I caught a small baby mudminnow. Does that count?
No 🤦♀️
Raiden Peery Gaming haha
Smh Lol
Yes I have caught a sculpin does that count
Yes 😉

We used to catch gar to get them out of the lake. They started overwhelming the sport fish. Amazing looking fish. Like catching a dinosaur.
Where were you fishing? The scenery looks very familiar as I was born in Wharton and grew up in Angleton
Do you gut hook a lot of different kind of fish fishing for these?
I live in Florida and spillway fish for snook and tarpon. Can you do video on how not to catch gar? Lol thanks
Thats what this videos about how to catch gar
@@Patrick-ni7bs I think he means how to avoid catching gar and catch the other fish
Great detail in your video bro. I really appreciate that.
We use frayed rope with no hook to catch them around here. Good tips
Good vid.thanks for the advice.Going to try that
I got some gar in a little creek close to my house and they always hop off the hook so this really helps thx
Very cool video nicely done 👊
Thx bro, gar are probably my favorite fish
I would buy a gar shirt
Yeah it’s sick
ye same
I would Rock That shirt
That’s great man! I’m struggling to catch my first gar. I’ve reeled them right up to my feet then they drop the bait
yeah they tend to do that
Oh thank god I thought it was just me 😂
Very cool. I like the Texas flag gar shirt, too.
They always bite my bobbers. Every single time.
Same. If it moves they'll attack it haha
Same
They hit what's on top of the water they destroy floaters
Same
I was trying so hard to catch one. Then I added a bobber. Caught two in 20 mins
Hey man couldnt help but notice ur here in houston. Where is this creek at man?
Good stuff Kyle!
Oh yeah! I would so buy that t-shirt. :)
I love your vids I've been watching your vids ever since I was 10 and I just subscribe to your channel and I might join your thing
So I’ve been catching a lot of gar and was wondering what is the right way to get the hook out. I’ve just used a pole to keep its mouth open.
What type hook you use need to know for my dad please and thank you
LIL CHEESE I’m using just a eagle claw circle hook easy way to catch em
David Kelly thank you, you will make my dad happy :)
Are they good eating ?
Great video brother!!
I love that drone view
Amazing video👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
This is a really good video! 👍
I know it’s kind of a late commend but thanks for the tips. I was trying to set it in the tip of the mouth but now I know I gotta run even longer with it😅
You should do a video of feeding your fish a whole bunch of minnows
Gar look pretty cool
Would a Ugly Stik Gx2 6' Medium Spinning rod with a 3000 Sharky III baitfeeder loaded with 30 pound braid to a 20 lb mono leader work? I have a creek by my house with a 3 - 4 foot gar in it.
Finesse right here with some skill to add! This was excellent
Great video. I would like to get one of those shirts my friend.
Those shirts are really cool
if we catch the alligator gar, so we can keep it as a pet?
can you inform us that which countries there are in.
if you say that they are in Pakistan or Oman or not so you can get the alligator gar to us in Islamabad or in Oman
Dope shirt, prolly would buy it but never have the chance for gar fishing.
Nice tips man!
beautiful bowfin.
Going to try this your way, looks easier than what I was doing
what were you doing
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Working but wish I was fishing
@@ingod8971 No I mean what were you doing to try to catch gar.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 I fished for them at night most the time. Just like I was for catfish.
@@ingod8971 Yeah but with what
The bonus bowfin was great. The whole video was, actually.
That’s cut shad y’all are using?
Nice video. I ve used the same technique a couple of years back n caught longnose ones.
Do you use a weighted bobber or no I’m kinda new to fishing and I fish at the creak near my house
you could use both, but he used a non weighted cork/bobber in this video
Dope shirt bro also I in TX too
Hector Vargas b
drone shots+1
Great video by a really cutie pie guy 🥰😍
Where did you catch those gars? Buffalo bayou?
Bowfin are a blast to catch
I like using plastic tube lures on the Mississippi River slough by Lock & Dam #25, in Mo.
Living fossils literally been around since dinosaurs I got much respect for the garfish and also bowfin.
Could you do a video on finding areas that have gar or places that gar are likely to be
Do you have to use a float
Would any plastic baits work well? If so which are the best for these?
Cool vid like if Kyle should do another flathead catfish vid !!
What kind of setup are you using
when i gar fish i swear by treble hooks. it’s a little harder to rig a shiner on, but it has more hooks and an increased hook up ratio. i was using j hooks and i wasn’t getting any hook ups no matter what i did, so i switched to a treble and caught my first gar. i also use 30 lb mono leader, and it actually works well and it doesn’t get cut by the gar when fighting them.
One cool thing is that I haven’t really seen any one make an actual gar shirt
Look up gar life cartel on Facebook
Hey bro is this in the Houston area? And if so where? And also like always great vid 🙌
Could you give me an address close to this bayou?
I have been searching ENDLESSLY for a place like that. Buffalo bayou is currently my go to for gar but dang it’s dangerous at times.
Great fishing brother. Is a bowfin the same as a grinnel? Btw yes I would buy one of your shirts. Thanks brother
Thanks! Yeah a lot of people call bowfin a grinnel
Shirt looks sick !
Great info on these beasts
Have you ever fished at oyster creek? Its pretty nice there
No I haven’t. I’ve heard there’s good gar and catfish there
The Fish Whisperer yes there is also carp as well
Could you do a feeding with frogs?
