What a monster. How long has that fish been watching Houston go by? She's probably at least 40 years old...so she watched Hurricane Alicia come through and wash out her bayou or creek she was born in back in the 80's. She avoided all the arrows, the gnarly construction projects, the dredging, droughts and floods, and the trophy hunters...just to swim by and eat that carp. Pretty cool when you think about it.

These types of videos have made me appreciate every body of water I see. You never know where a monster can be. I caught a 52 lb. grass carp out of an abandoned golf course pond in North Carolina! I’ll always be a bass fisherman but I love these videos keep it up

Those bodies of water that are man made yet abandoned can have some monsters in it. I don’t partake in golfing but my buddies have rods in their bags due to golf courses having massive carps in their bodies of water

It was an absolute beast of a fish and I'm glad to have been a part of that catch! I can't think of a better way to end the year.

You mentioned about there not being a better way to end the year...and, for some reason, I got to thinkin' about when I get a lot younger, and used to go to Church. Ever been to what's called a Watchnight Service, where ya listen to some Preachin' Prayin', singin' and shoutin'? I was raised Old-fashioned Pentecostal/Full Gospel, and every year, we'd get together about 8:00 P. M. on New Years Eve, and enjoy ourselves until probably about 1:00 A. M. or so. Man, it was fun! Anyway-Have a happy New Year!

I don't get amazed by too many fish any more but that gar absolutely dropped my jaw. I am appalled by the size and beauty of this fish.

Thank God you released beautiful fish.You are very generous. ❤️❤️❤️

Very happy i found your videos brother! As a young teen i was always in every creek bed and every fishing hole i could find. After i started to get sick with my lupus at 24 my fishing slowed down when i turned 30 it stopped almost all the way. I was 40 yesterday and can count on one hand how many times i been fishing in the last 10 years. I miss it a lot i use to fish hours and hours! Very much love your videos reminds me of my past and the love to fish! Thanks God Bless!

Hey Everyone! The fight for the BIG FISH starts at the 7:40 mark if you want to skip to that! Also, I'm aware this might not be the fish of your dreams (just marketing). Hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays! Like and subscribe, then go do the same for Phil on his channel Bites and Strikes

We'll have to give him a name

Accidentally had one snap at a humpy that I was fishing. The rise was only about 10 yards from me and I thought that I was onto the largest trout of my life! Once I saw him (I was wading in a shallow river), I was both shocked and more than a little concerned. half an hour later I got him close enough to estimate him at about 20 lbs. He had wrapped around the leader at the snout and luckily another angler waded over and helped me untangle him and let him go.

Dude….that was amazing! Glad to see you honored the fish. Fish Awn.😎

I am an Angler from bottom East Coast of Australia and always fish from the banks of the rivers or beaches. I have hooked some large ones but never got them out of the water. WELL DONE FELLAS! 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🤗🤗

Your fishing adventures which I now have the pleasure to enjoy remind me of me as kid fishing canals in Miami Florida thank you. As for reference we would set up gear at night from a train track that crosses over a canal in the night and camp out waiting to hear the plash from big fish- alligator gar, catfish, mudfish and some time gators would hit our lines- so much fun and excitement in the dark to find out what we caught. Not recommended these day to hang out near train tracks but that was 70's and 80's. Always catch and release. Great Tube, congratulations!

Man this blows my mind how big this fish can get

Down here in the southern most point of Louisiana, they definitely fish them for food. The Vietnamese will pay you for 'em, too. They'll put signs up saying "Will buy Gar Fish" with their phones numbers, so it's actually kind of lucrative. People will use treble hooks the size of your fist and tie it to half a dozen 2 liter Coke bottles with a chicken leg quarter as bait. So if you ever see a bundle of 2 liter bottles floating around, it's a good possibility there's that dinosaur you speak of hooked to them.

I fish off of docks, and when I catch a gar, that mother goes right back into the water because I don't want anything to do with them. They're fun to fight and catch, but they're not food to me. But I only use new, sharp hooks that don't cause massive damage to fish in general, and definitely wouldn't damage a gar in the slightest.
