THIS IS WHY YOU USE BIG SHAD IN TEXAS RIVERS! (UNEXPECTED CATCH!)

You’re blessed to have Claudia there with you enjoying her day alongside you! Great video

My wife is encouraging in the same way. I love taking her fishing. She also will tell me she saw something epic even if she missed it. She shares in my excitement too. One time we were kayak fishing off shore and a huge turtle came up right beside us. I knew she didnt see it but she swore she did for a day or two lol

When fishing gar use wire for the leader also when you mentioned bites but reeled nothing those are gars. They bite but dont swallo, keep feeding the line until they move the bait more down and then set the hook hard

This video was very enjoyable! Super cool looking spot as well

Nice video. If you woulda said you were fishing in the Kankakee river in Indiana, nobody would have known the difference. Some gar, and about everything else you can think of. If you go about 30 miles north, you can hit the rivers that dump into lake michigan, and get salmon and trout the size of that gar you landed. Oops, sorry. I forgot. Everything's bigger in Texas! Good luck. 👍

your videos are so peaceful

Man I would have loved to have that Gar… perfect eating size

Great job on this video sir. I am happy to see you out there. We are on the opposite end of the spectrum here north of you in Deep East Texas, it is flooding here, Caddo lake is flooded, LOP is flooded, The rivers Are flooded, it is a crazy time with all the rina we have been getting. I seen this posted 3 days ago and it is still crazy here. Yeah, I agreee, you dont want to hit your lady in the face with the hook hahaha, Yes sir, call it a catch, you did a great job, I need to get a lasso I guess, I plan on trying to catch some garr this year, I have accidentally caught a couple, not trying to in the past, got them close and didn't land them, so not officially a catch, but want to learn how and make some fish tacos with some and see how awesome that would be. This fish are amazing in their own right. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us and I hope you both have a blessed week my friend.  PS, new sub, keep up the fun videos. Dale

Fantastic video bro and I like your cowboys shirt 😂

This was very entertaining lol

I know this guy!

i live right next to lake lewisville in dallas. i catch tones of big shad nad throw em out there. and for some reason gar like it a lot more then bufflao. its weird

Gar love cut bait!

What part of Texas is this? South? I'm central TX and love the small river\creek Fishing like this. Nice vid, go cowboys.

You don't set the hook when using circle hooks.

its that shirt lol bad luck🤣

im not even gone lie to you boss i be fish gripping em when i dont have my rope as long as they smaller then 5 foot

There are 5-6 inch wire lines packs cabellas not to expensive no shame n praying...👍🙏

Where in Texas are you located? I’m in south Texas and the rivers are so low and infested with gar.. I use a shimano bait runner with 60lb mono for gar cause they get big outhere

Only advice I'd give is to clean your gopro every once in a while and If you get/have a hero 7 black or newer, it shouldn't shake as much with the right settings. Otherwise man, that's a good day of fishing.
