THATS A RIVER MONSTER || GIANT ALLIGATOR GAR

Landing my new personal best alligator gar at an undisclosed location know affectionately as location X. it measured 7 foot 2 inches and had a 41 inch girth and weighed over 200 pounds. my 7 year old daughter Allyse filmed everything you see, also unfortunately my iphone died as i pulled the gar out of the water but we got most of the fight on video. This Monster gar ate a pretty small chunk of gizzard shad fished on bottom and went about spooling my rod i had in a rod holder on the bank extremely fast we only had time to grab the rod and jump in the boat before i had no line left and the gar drug us downriver with no line on the reel..all my gar are released unharmed you will not see me kill one i am passionate about protecting these awesome sportfish that have survived for 100,000,000 years

Very Cool!

Me thinks it's time for a head mounted gopro.

battery died on the gopro haha so it was up to the kiddo to get some footage on the iphone

If yall have kept up with my Youtube channel or my reports you now it was about time for another episode of Dubstep Fishing, i know some people are not into the music i put to my videos but this particular version is mostly for me, i enjoy it and thats what matters .

Congrats on your PB!

Very nice catch, congrats

Man nice job! That thing was pulling you all over. great camera work by the little lady. that is cool. I agree fully with the release of the fish unharmed, especially when they are that big. Irratates the hell out of me when people talk about killing them just to kill them cause they are trash fish. I loved catching them and my neighbor knew how to cook them so was win win for us. Havnt eating one in a long time though just would catch and release.

Great catch.

Nice Catch!

That's a good fish but she is not 200 close but around 195

Got 1 like that one today at 194

I agree..no WAY is that 200lbs.... 195,196,198,199 maybe... but no way 200. lol...

Great father and daughter teamwork,memories for a lifetime! Very nice catch video and release of this beauty!

Tumatervision shows 200lbs 2oz.I don't want to steal your joy but it's been a while since I recalibrated.We will just call it an even 200

I am not able to see the vids as of right now but congrats. A fish that size is amazing to catch. I myself have caught one just a tad bit smaller than that so I know. Anyhow, how are you guys getting weights for these fish. What kind of scales do you use and how do you go about weighing it? Thanks...

I was told that you can multiply length by girth (squared), divide that by 800 and add 15 and it will get you close.

Nice fish Henry!
