Could you explain how you use the braided hollow line? Do you run mono through it or what?

its just 4-5 foot of 300# jerry brown hollow core line that im using for leader this is the third year using it and they dont cut it.

How long is the drop from your hook to your bobber stop? Just trying to determine if you're fishing on bottom or mid water. Love the videos!

@CatchingDinosaurs

my baits sit on bottom 99% of the time its a slip float and the bobber stop is set at about 15 foot, gar prefer to feed in about 6-14 foot of water most of the time and prefer dead baits on bottom.

Where do you get the rigging floss

This is great - I was however hoping to see an unhooking rather than cutting of the line. I'm unfamiliar with large gar fishing however. I imagine it is standard to cut the hook in most cases? Could be more harmful to the fish and potentially yourself to attempt to unhook. Barbless might also allow for an easy unhooking depending on the hookset. A fish as tough as a gar should be able to be fine with a small hook in its mouth like that, especially if it is barbless i imagine it would eventually come out - but would love to hear your thoughts.

to be fair i can catch a carp or a sunfish with the same hook im using, you can slo set 30 seconds into the run to have a better chance of being able to remove the hook.

@@CatchingDinosaurs yeah that is great. I use small hooks to for bowfin/bass fishing probably about the same size you are using which generally is considered too small. Is there a reason to feel bad about leaving it in? I trust you're expertise and investment in the fish's wellbeing, curious to hear what you think. I'm trying to get into gar fishing and unhooking / dealing with the hook is one of the bigger issues im trying to work out in my mind before i go for it

You leave the hook in?

So would you still use the same size hook if your casting bait for gar with surf rods? Can’t use float from bank due to gators.

Thoughts on bronze hooks?

@CatchingDinosaurs

3 жыл бұрын

literally pointless i put the bronze treble hooks all the guides use in salt water for 13 months and they were just rusty hooks i sharpened one and caught a 6 foot gar on it. tpwd has studied what happens when a gar gets hooked deep they either create a callus over the hook and it just becomes scar tissue or they create an abcess under the hook that helps push it out then they pass it with their waste.
