Bowfishing for Giant Gator Gar| We shoot a 7+ foot RIVER MONSTER!!!

thank you, thank you drunk girl, yeah should you drive? I remember the first time I backtracked, well, it doesn't have the lines, oh look at that, oh my God, dude, we gotta fix this title, yeah, a lot of things. We've changed today, our plans have gone from going to South Texas to not going to South Texas to filming in Oklahoma to just turkey hunting so now we're going to South Texas, you forgot about Kansas too, oh yeah , we almost went to Kansas for turkeys too. What happened is we're really good friends with a guy named Scotty Mitchell, in South Texas, and he's a guy, Mitchell, Michelle, you know him.

I'm saying we're good friends. I never met the Ryan guy. and JJ knows it anyway Scotty Meschel is a guide there and he's been watching the alli

gator

spawn for us and this is something we've wanted to film since we started doing this. In fact, I've never filmed it in my entire life. life we ​​didn't want to film it for a long time and uh, he called and said: Hey guys, you sent us a video. Gator Garland on top of each other in flooded. The fields could get super western, so right here at Trevor's shop I grabbed my boat and We're connecting south five hours drive to go pick up JJ and then how far is it from there?

Others like six, I think five or six, so it's six o'clock this afternoon we'll pick up JJ, we'll be there around 11 or 12 and then we'll probably be at Scotty's house around seven or eight in the morning. and then we'll film them tomorrow, we're going to Crest on the new boat, yeah, the boat is just, I think we've just filmed like a couple of local lakes on the boat. So Dustin in Phoenix did all my light rail and it all ended with that and we put in the marine lights that we're not even going to need tomorrow.

We have to go get the cameraman's support. I'm excited about the troller boat over the Airboat. just for where it's okay, welcome to the channel, this is the newest member. I'm very excited to be part of the guys. I'm really excited because I'm excited because Scotty is excited, so if he's excited, that should be it. It should be Banger, you're driving well, I sure put in my time. I finished well. Turns out Chicken Express was a good idea. JJ wanted to throw it away. He wouldn't let it and now he's providing, yeah, a sinking for my body, um, us.

Basically, we're here, well, we're about two hours early. I slept like eight full hours. I don't know what Ryan's been doing. I think the guy just decided to stay up all the time. Five guys are supposed to be here at seven. Gotta charge the troller batteries, watch out for all the camera batteries charged, we'll eat our Chicken Express and then it'll be time for him to do something we've never done before Kyle films the first one. five feet he sees, oh man, I can

shoot

the first three feet I see it's just a guard seen, is everyone ready to do this?

Actually, it's ridiculous, he just left. We won't be able to hear you, but the gar rolls in front of you. you and you can go What is that noise? It's a turkey. Thanks my friend. Introduce Scotty later. You're already talking about them right now. I can sit here and talk all day and when the camera is pointed at me. I can get super weird what is probably I have no idea what you're going to do, how you're going to do it tomorrow, what do you mean it's like I have a camera every other word that comes out of your mouth with bad words, I'm going to do the same?

The best I can do without a guide is to go guided, but we're on my boat so I don't know what that means. He was here yesterday and saw seven

foot

ers and then I saw a really big fish. They were starting to level up. and starting to spawn, move here right now, there are a lot of clouds and hopefully the sun will burn them off here in a little more wind than yesterday, but from the signs you had yesterday, I think I'll be in good shape, so we're looking for some Large Gator Gardens, some we've never done on the canal.

I mean, we ran into them and had a couple, but not like this. Ryan and I are super excited and JJ is so excited that he can barely talk about what exactly is going on. I had lupus on the way here last night. I woke up with him in the back seat. Strange things were happening. It's that Buffalo that follows. Those are just splashing. They say, "Come

shoot

me and us." We're hunting Gatorgar, you know, there it is, yeah, foreigners show up here and there and it's still very early, I mean, it's like 9:30. So this might clarify everything, not today we are seeing buffalo spawning, we are seeing marlin, no. spawn, which I mean, we're scared because we don't shoot the fish, but these Gator guards are going to do what these other fish are doing, we should start getting into them later, hopefully, anyway, if not, yeah, We'll be happy filming all this other stuff, but Scotty feels like let's go back to the back and see what's behind it, there's the big one right there JJ Hey, what's this here?

Oh yeah, yeah, that could, that could, I don't think it's just a small male, it's very hard not to photograph everything you're not in Louisiana, the males when they're ascending they go in this direction, which means they go towards Shallower waters trying to perform with these females, a really good male, right? However, hopefully we will come across one of these females that are trying to breed, as long as we have the males in the creek, then we will know that the females are here somewhere, so right here, thank you. Oh, that's a pretty fish. Look at all these Buffalo, it could have been, he was very, very fast, yeah, it's hard not to shoot, yeah, imagine that miniature right there, there's a fat little heavenly

monster

fish waving up there, oh, I can still see it, my little heart can.

I can't handle it, I have to stop that poop. I've got the nervous poops right there, they're just swimming, just looking at Johnny. My boots are nervous, they're there too, man, I've had them on all night because I was worried. was going to get here and disappear looks like we're money that has it, I mean they have to be Gators, oh, and I can see his fins from here, yeah, oh my God, I'm going to tell you now. There will be a lot of males around them, it's okay, if they are swimming the female will usually be in front, bottom, yes, if they are not swimming they will catch her and push her down, so I just have to be patient, oh my goodness, Dude, I got a weird look watching it crash.

I'm so glad I could bring you all here today, guys, look at this right here, you'll know if we move back. it's right in the center even if i have to pass by almost let them pass and come back soon one of these seems bigger yeah so the males are always on top of the female so when she lays her eggs they can fertilize them to keep them. her when they're sitting there they keep her pushed down so she can't get away from them basically wow here we're trying to film a family episode and these fish are doing adult things not everything and you just want to just connect.

That's right, they're coming back, oh my gosh, that's a bigger fish, I think that's right there no, it's a female, she's just, um, maybe we'll go back and check out that other group, oh man, I thought we were about about to shoot that fish there. It was something I can't stand, let's go down, there are a lot of fish here right now, we are speeding to go down like this because he has a group coming out and he thinks he has a big female. Definitely worth checking out dude, that's cool when they're spawning for some reason.

I guess it's because I think everything is going in circles. Yes, they have males, they know them all the time, so when you shoot them a lot of times. they'll just stay there or keep swimming at the pace they're going like they don't get excited and explode now when you start pulling on them yeah so that's why I'm thinking about getting one of the remote ones and doing that thing where I can sit there and see better Kyle, we're back on this fish like you're going to shoot it where my finger slipped. I'm worried they already have one in the boat, my hands are sweaty yeah.

It was said that they are very long here, very long, but she is right, yes, I don't know how long is a good idea, she is fat and is by far the biggest fish we have seen here and she was lying alone, No. I don't even want to move buddy, that's a big fish, super big fish, you want it to like fighting or something difficult technical like that ooh, that's a big fish, that's a big fish, buddy, that's awesome, there it is. You have, I need to stand on something. yeah, come on, David Goggins destroys Ed, that's a beast, that's why we came.

Wow, oh my gosh, I was like no, I don't know the length of her, but she's fat, like we should shoot that fish. She was in the water. But. Don't rip it out of there I don't care at all if she broke there Hey, here's my deal. I'll break an arrow with every big fish that comes in and no, it doesn't bother, yes, as long as I get a big fish. I'm good at breaking arrows, yes, so when we got here this morning there were definitely fish spawning, but the smaller females got there first. We just gave it time, didn't shoot the little ones, and as the mornings progressed, we found.

This larger female arrived later and was shot well. I can't believe she was alone, even though I know there isn't a single meal around her. There are a million males down here, like I looked. and I really thought it was a male and then I saw the girth and I thought, "I think we're going to shoot her fish." I didn't have to convince them all, they know we've been sitting around. let's go for a while at this point we're in ninja stealth mode this guiding service is so much better than this whole unguided thing do you hunt moose? hey, lupus may get you down, but I don't have you out, I don't want to hit that right now are you ready thanks foreigner I have it on film I mean if you are I'll shoot if you don't want that was a lot smaller than I thought It looks small in the water I drove all the way down here just to look at fish, yeah, I mean, he set the bar a little high, man, I mean, that's exactly it.

He would have been happy with that fried fish, caught seven times, he talks about me like a Trophy Hunter, oh it's horrible, mate, send me something. jerky is in the meat Kelly do you want a piece sorry, I should get here first it's a little sweet kind of spicy gender Rogers right here watch out there she's still there still hanging out the laundry right there good fish look, I told you you should I haven't shot at that other fish. Oh, JJ is excited. Hey, he just leaves the button pressed. Look. I don't know if you see the location of the shot.

That's where Scotty said to shoot him now. Actually, JJ is in the right place. I didn't know if. weren't you going to shoot him again or was he just going to look at it again, yes sir, look how well that works when you don't hesitate, just thought I'd throw that in there, you know, it just looks kind of sweet. spicy, done, man, that's awesome, no, oh, that's awesome, I think I photographed Ohio Scotty, here we've been chasing him for a while, two hours, yeah, two years in the making and um, he definitely delivered, probably I was telling Ryan he's probably a top five guy. one of the most fun things I've ever done because I've never photographed Gator gar during the day like this it's been amazing yeah the spawning I've never seen anything like it so the

foot

age is amazing we just had an amazing time today it was Amazing how long it took you.

I've been doing this since I was 15, so 35 years, but I've been guiding for 10. If you look at the camera when you talk, please, he'll hand you over. I mean, we probably saw it 100 feet ago today, yeah, it was unreal, yeah. They are too picky, yes some of us, some of us are too big, if you like it, please subscribe, follow us, share, press the thumbs up and make sure if you want to go kill some guard Gator, Gods of the south of Texas, yes, stop asking us. If we guide you, we won't, yeah guys, we'll catch you all next time abroad.
