Absolutely love this, as I do all the videos of yours that I've seen, but it's special because you were in my state. If you're ever around San Antonio, may I suggest Calaveras Lake and/or Canyon Lake? Both are manmade lakes, but they have amazing fish. Calaveras Lake has some huge freshwater red drums and giant catfish. Canyon Lake has some amazing tasting white and striped bass. Both are incredibly fun to fish at.

The four major gar species in Texas are the alligator gar (up to 8 ft long and heavier build than other gars, with a broad head evocative of its namesake, longnose gar (characterized by a comically long and slender snout, shortnose gar (the most generic one, and spotted gar (striking pattern, popular for aquariums. Your catch at 4: 45 is a picture-perfect shortnose gar, and about average size for the species.

Really interesting. Thanks John. One of the aspects of the novels of James Lee Burke that has I suppose me coming back every time, was the fishing that is often integral to the story. Fishing Louisianna, Montana and Texan waters. To UK anglers most of the species are different, even their Bass. Plus, I imagine that most of the fish have never seen a baited hook, a bit like sea fishing

I live in Houston. You told me earlier today you fished our creeks. Longnose, Spotted, Short nose, and Aligator. are the species here.
I believe that is a Long Nose. Aligator Gar has 2 rows of teeth in the top of their mouth.
Short Nose, have a short snout.
Spotted, well. they're spotted.
Our humidity is wicked!
Like a sauna in summer.
And yes, thats a Drum.

Yes sir, I see you definitely have gotten Houstons kiss of humidity by the looks of your damp shirt. And them mosquitoes are notorious around Houston as well. You know them alligator gar can get huge and YET are harmless to man. They don't attack you, but sure are intimidating by the size of their teeth. Good video buddy!

Are you sure that that's an Alligator Gar? There are four species of Gar in Texas and, as far as I can see, yours lacks the double row of teeth on the upper jaw. I might be wrong and it's difficult to tell from video footage but I thought it looked more like a Shortnose Gar. a common smaller species in Texas.

Can't believe you've done Texas! I fished Belton lake a few years back and had to get my bait out of the way of a four foot long Gar. I only had a small line and he would've shredded it. Scared the bejeezus out of a Somerset boy like me! We don't get fish like that where I'm from naarp.

Great video man!
I have fished that creek also - for bass and gar.
I fished it up near Patterson Rd.
Harvey washed it out, at least the last time I looked.
I really liked how you handle that gar - with skill. Those things are vicious!

I live in College Station, Tx, which isn't too far from where you were fishing. Isn't the humidity terrible? I moved here from Southern California 5 years ago, and I'm still not used to it. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing. Love from Texas
