The BIGGEST FISH in the RIVER!! (Bigger than we are)

oh my god all right my friends out here with my good buddy henry martin of catching dinosaurs this guy knows more about alligator gar than probably anybody on the planet the coolest thing about alligator gar is that the adrenaline rush of catching them lasts for this one's been going on 20 minutes probably right we saw this fish surface right out here and we both just about lost our marbles and um we're getting ready to act on it i i don't know i'm terrified henry's a little terrified but we're gonna see what happens you guys haven't seen henry on my channel in a recent video in a long time but let's just say there's nothing that fishing and time on the water can't heal thank you guys for watching come on baby come on please do it do it loosened if you need to henry she's super close she's super close she's gonna jump buddy oh my gosh oh my gosh that might be the biggest of your life buddy so guys right now i can't even tell you how much adrenaline i'm feeling i literally my baby about to like fall over i'm feeling look at this this fish was really cold and it took her a while to wake up but she's awake now and she's huge she could be eight foot a little under maybe one note to mention here is that the hook that we're using is this big is that correct yep it's a gamakatsu fly bait why not this is uh what that fish left is a boil she stirred up a bunch of mud from probably five six foot deep we still got that rope yeah i'll get the rope when the time where is the rope crab i think it should be packed that way to the right we got the cast king meg swim bait rod heavy bass rod in the caskian cap stand 200 300 which is terrifying i know kind of like a different color than that one that rolled it looked a little lighter yeah that's what i thought yeah loosen the drag when i reel look at the water disturbance right here her tail came up eight foot back i think it's hurting me where i'm putting it into it i need to get a chest mount i guess you're four minutes in really yeah do you do you think it matters if you have a chest mount or a uh oh do you see that no the thing that came up way behind her like 10 15 feet back oh yeah yeah but with a chest mount all these people would see would be the real that's it like the only thing it adds is the sound of drag it sucks because then when you're on your head and you want to show that stuff then you have to like hold the rod up here yeah or you have to like look down you know yeah and put my wallet and keys and everything up here a little bit and then she didn't really push how loose are you pretty loose that was some master guard handling right there my plan right now is to pendulum there straight into shallow water that's at least what i'm going to try to do be careful buddy be careful we'll see what happens with her face why don't you let me in here she's she's on the she's on the bottom yeah try to stay off of it i'll try to carry her head to the left maybe she should come back off real quick that's not good i'm gonna go up okay i know it looks like i'm playing really hard just trying to coax her hair yeah she was actually on the bottom so she couldn't really get away that's kind of what i thought if i can get her head to touch here we might be good yeah because then she's kind of stuck and i can just kind of jump over on the other side of her pectorals we'll just have to see what happens i can't really get her head to turn you wanna let me in oh that what i'm on her back so i'm trying to get nice and tight so not just like grinding on her you know yeah yeah i think that's what we should do we bring it back but i'll let you in and we'll just go for it all right i'm gonna let you through now to the left and then you just go ahead and get out there and i'll see if i can keep pulling her up you all right yeah try to get it off all right i think we're good i'm gonna i think i can get her all up on the bank careful buddy watch the rod watch the rod your eyes taking a tiny bit she's gonna push let's go for it a back off drag she's getting a little less get it to the left so you get off her back yeah i mean that's about what we'd expect though you know yeah this is a very very thick car i'm not sure how long she is but i think she's 76 40 to 42. i just want to run out there and get her i know i can try and bear hugger and just swim her up to shore well i think i think on this one we got her it's usually about three or four tries you know whoa she's kind of nose down mate i couldn't even get her to wake up when i hooked her i dude that looks at the sound it made it was just a solid clunk i knew it so i literally said again i just backed off my if you want you can always take the rod and i'll go for it but you could put your other hand on the leader to kind of lead her where you need pull her up a little [Applause] [Applause] hold on are you now oh my god well get in the water and hold your fish should we put a tape on her yeah i'll go get it whoa look how thick she dude i'm telling you i got up here i don't think she's going to do anything a huge fish what you got i'm at one so what do you got i'm at 94 exactly she's hold on no no no yeah the back her the the bottom of her tail look at that it should go six you'll go 97 way back here i had the wrong tail eight one or what no all right uh seven seven no oh my gosh it's eight one that's the biggest fish you've ever got about 40 or so so cast king equipment this is why we use it speed demon pro meg swim bait rod eight foot this fish is eight foot one inches oh oh my god i have to get down just try to pull her up on your knees get her up on your knees [Applause] dang it look at the gopro i got the easier side in the middle got it get her head thirty eight foot one inch henry's pb that's a scary big fish all right guys i wanted to show this off real quick this is the largest alligator gar that i've ever caught personally this is eight foot one she's probably at about 240 pounds maybe somewhere around there but absolutely massive fish we're gonna go ahead and get her on back totally do not want to hurt this fish or inconvenience her any more than we have to look at this thing's head though wow look at those teeth beautiful fish all right you ready wow big girl took off wow you all right buddy crazy all right well me and henry have just been kind of sitting in the sun for like an hour after that happened uh that's his biggest fish i've got a 8-1 and now he's got a 8-1 8-1 and 40 inches around my waist is like a 30. a 30-32 or something like that i think i'm a 34 i think around so but uh fish of a lifetime no doubt um just just remarkable look at this that's the hook that henry is using to catch alligator guard that's a one-out gamakatsu this will be the third year using just this hook eight foot one-inch fish came on a hook that a lot of people will use for crappie it's about the size of a penny if you put a penny on there it's about the same so it'll cover it probably all right well there you have it uh is that that's the biggest freshwater fish of your life yeah um if you guys want to book an alligator guard trip get a hold of henry you can catch a fish like that you never know what's going to be out here in these rivers or in the bay catching dinosaurs guide servers checking out on facebook i'm going to be spending some more time out
