300lb Alligator Gar!

[Koz]

This guy caught an 8+ foot alligator gar but released it rather than wait on getting an official weigh in and quite possibly having the fish die in the process. Full story here: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/trending/article/alligator-gar-bayou-catch-17162146.php

Wow! What a gar. Funny that he was getting emotional over that gar like it was a DD bass.?

[Bird]

I'd bet it is easier to catch a DD bass than it is a 300lb alligator gar.  There are hundreds of DD bass caught each year and very few 300lb class alligator gar caught.

I would be emotional too over that size alligator gar.

You don't catch something like that every day.

I mean, it essentially ties the state record. I would be emotional too.

Those PigPatrol guys catch some massive gar. Not sure if this guy is with that YouTube crew but it's in the right area for it...
