decided to go fish some backwaters for alligator gar since the main rivers i fish are all really high right now. ended up landing 3 alligator gar in just a few hours and losing a 7 foot monster from the kayak on a river that has no water body record for alligator gar on rod and reel. i caught first a 46 inch gar as a i got a double run and released it quickly after a few pics and then caught a 5 footer from the kayak who gave me a pretty good fight. just a few minutes after releasing these fish i caught a almost 140 pound alligator gar from the bank in an extremely intense fight that lasting 15 minutes or more with me stuck in the mud with a fish ripping out 30 yards of drags with it locked down with every push of its tail

i fished a remote stretch of river with no rod and reel water body record for alligator gar, ended up hooking 4 nice gar in a few hours, this one went 6 foot 6 inches and 140 pounds and fought me as hard or harder than any gar i have caught, she had me stuck in mud passed my knees while she just kept pushing hard for 15 minutes or more before i could finally retrieve my gopro and catch the footage seen here.
Alligator gar are one of the largest and oldest fish on the planet fossil records indicate they have been around relatively unchanged since the Cretaceous period 100,000,000 years ago swimming the same areas they swim today.
