The RAREST MONSTER FISH in UNITED STATES!! (BIGGER THAN WE ARE)

Hyrbid gar or Lepisosteus spp is the product of a longnose and alligator gar hybridizing, gar hybridization happens when gar cannot find their own species to hybridize with. Spotted gar and alligator gar can also hybridize so can Florida gar and alligator gar. Unlike most hybrids in nature gar hybrids are virile and can breed and pass on their genes, the largest hybrid gar i have ever seen was around 7 foot and 130 pounds. in almost a decade of fishing and guiding for gar i have only had 16 hybrids caught from my boat. They are an amazingly intriguing, rare and unique member of the gar family.

I think the rarest fish in the US is a gar that stays hooked when I set it.

I love 💕 to fish 🎣! My husband and I use to fish 🎣 All the time before he passed away last year. We poled fish, put out nets and trout lines. While pole fishing and something like this happens he would always say: Hold on to your hide clide! ! Great job 👌

I was fly fishing for bluegill once in a Florida impoundment and hooked a longnose gar, about a 4-footer, maybe 10 pounds. Doesn't sound like much, but I had a 3-pound test tippet tied directly to my streamer (#8 muddler minnow), and had a finesse job to get that fish to boat. Had him hooked in the corner of his mouth or I'd have never landed him. Best fly-fishing battle of my life.

The mud made this video along with Henry’s stunning hybrid Gar. Very entertaining!

Wish I was there fishing myself. Good day for you guys. Love to hear your excitement when you hook them.

You can't stop pumping out videos this week. Insane actions and insane fisherman! So like your channel man. Keep em coming!

A great day spent wading through fish poop pudding and catching amazing fish! I honestly had no idea that gar could hybridize like that… that’s pretty cool!!

Well done guys! That river looks awesome.

I love how you call that creek a massive river. The St. Francis in AR makes that look tiny. That first cat was perfect eating size.

love the use of the ol' forked stick as a rod holder even when catching giants

Amazing fishing!! I could probably fish for the rest of my life here in UK and never catch a wild fish as big as that gar hybrid. Fantastic that you are showing others that gator gar is a fish worth respecting and conserving.

Amazing fishing! Have also lost fish after an initial strong hook set. I changed my technique to set the hook by striking upwards rather than to the side. Exciting videos and thanks for posting!

Ty you crack me up!!!!🤣🤣🤣 GIANT MASSIVE HUGE BIG "oh I guess it's not that big....."

I know that feeling Ty, where for a split second you consider chasing the fish that just got off into the water. 😂

Wow. What a day. I have to do that. Put me down for next year. Not sure i would handle loosing those fish as well as you did but bringing in just one would more than make up for it. I didn't know I was into gar till I watched some of you and Henry land those monsters. Keep posting!

Wow, these're great catches, big Spotted gar fishing day, We don't have them in our country, love your video very much !

Fun times. I'm a catfish guy myself. Occasional gar would be fun though. Thanks for sharing brother!! 👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽☺💯

"Oh, Noooo!", when the gar spit out the bait and casually swam off, lol.🙄😭 🤣❤️❤️❤️

Good day of fishing with good friends ain't nothing nicer ! River fishing knowing that legendary monsters lurking there ,might require the sacrifice of one your friends as bait...😳
