    Love catching them! It took me forever to learn to be patient enough to let them run for a bit before setting the hook.

    Nice informative video on gar fishing, I like the drag release lever on the back of that reel, I have one that I think I'll use to try this with

    Do you typically hook them in the side of the mouth after 15secs?
    What’s the hook up percentage like?
    Will 50 lbs mono handle the teeth of a 15lbs plus fish?
    I’m really curious as you can see. Great vid.

      You really don’t need 50 lb mono lol. I catch them all the time on 10 pound mono and never have issues really.

      Even for fish over 15lbs? I’m just surprised that their teeth don’t cut through 10lbs mono.

      @@EverydayNormalGuy07 catching a 15 pound longnose gar is pretty rare. That’s a 50+ inch fish. Most longnose gar are probably between 5-10 pounds. But yes. They’re nowhere near as sharp as a pikes teeth. They’re extremely pointy though, that’s for sure.

      We get them that size where I live. I never use cut bait is why I was asking. I cast to them, sight fishing for them. It’s a lot like hunting. Tons of fun.

    Rope jigs work a lot better than bait. Much more consistent hooksets and catching them on artificial is so much fun.

      @@CatchingDinosaurs for sure. That’s why we use 50lb leader and heavy rods, and meticulously remove every strand after catching. Same could be said for letting them swallow cut bait.

    I went walking 13 miles this morning to fish a little creek I didn't know existed until about 7 am earlier today
    Until today I had never seen a real gar but while I was bream fishing a 7ft gator gar came up in front of me and I'm so happy I finally have a place to catch gar
    Time to get out my surf rod and see how fast I get drug in that little creek

      How can you guys fish the Brazos and not catch gar ?? I think it's funny how a trash fish like any gar can be anybodys treasure. Oh and by the way , the little Brazos is even more infested with gar

      All you have to do is want and fish for catfish and you will be overwhelmed with gar. I have caught them on shad, shiners, goldfish, perch, mullet, shad dip stink bait, catalpa worms,etc, etc

    I accidentally caught a 47 inch longnose gar while catfishing once, I felt him playing with it and I wasn't sure what it was at first. I waited a few seconds till he started to run then I set it right away thinking it was a catfish. Wasn't till I saw it jump that I knew it was a gar, I was lucky to get him in at all cause I hooked him in the front of the mouth with a circle hook.
