That looked like great fun. I grew up river fishing and hunting. Always something new around the next bend.

That’s for sure man….. great time even if you have a bad day fishing

I only see little gar and 3 to 4 footers occasionally behind my house in the canal. I wonder why the bigger ones aren’t there. Nobody is messing with them. There is a spring fed lake nearby with the bigger ones. Enjoyed your video. I like eating them too

I really want a 7footer now. Thanks for watching man

You have the best bait. Grass carp maybe a tad better than regular carp but both twice as good as Buffalo. The carp head is the best bait on the carp.

Underrated power fish right there. I watched a guy get pulled around Trinity Bay one morning years back in a 12' jonboat. Fought it for 1.5 hours. Got it to the boat and it broke off. It tail danced a couple times during the fight. There was a collective "ahhh man" from everyone around the area watching.

Awesome video as always.

I did notice that they are not to keen on buffalo in the area I fished. 2 different trips there ended with two skunks. I was hoping you might help me on when to set the hook? It seems like I wait to long but if I set to soon I get a big nothin lol. I did notice that they are super sensitive to pressure. Those were live liner reels and even that turned all the way down would cause them to drop the bait. I had much better success feeding them line through an open bail. I used a standard 4/0 j hook? Have you had any success with circle hooks? I guess the question is should I set before they stop to eat the bait? Thanks man

They really are in that river. Sure they spend their life fighting current. Great sports fish imho. You just have to get a little dirty doing this type of fishing lol!

Great video!


My son and his buddy (catching dinosaurs) have posted several videos of a technique they have experimented with and perfected using a tiny hook (Size 1 or a 1/0 Gamakatsu live bait hook). They are big into C&R for these fish and these small hooks do the least amount of damage to the fish and catch the heck out of these giants.

I fish with 2 0 thronged trebles. I free line by hand until the fish stops. Then I give it a minute and troll out taking up line. When I get close, I tighten up on the fish and it will almost always start moving away. I let the fish pull tight which makes the leader pull out of the teeth and back to the corner of the mouth. Hit him hard. The fish is already headed away so be ready! Hook sets on fish swimming away are near 100 percent hookup.

Otherwise, even if he has swallowed, you end up just jerking leader against teeth and he spits about 75 percent of the time.
