Fought this guy for a few minutes, but it was worth it. They are everywhere right now guys. Best to let them eat it for at least 15-20 seconds, then set your hook. I also recommend braided line for those ungodly sharp teeth. Fish

😍Caught this beautiful Alligator Gar using my Rebel POP-R lure/ foxy shad. I casted right over the gar under some Lilly’s and he whipped his head around—looked up and struck it. This was a great and fun catch. Such a beautiful fish. 🎣
