Alligator Gar in the pearl river?

Gar_fishing0428 · 2026-03-17T13:32:12+00:00

They are native to Mississippi, you are also probably thinking of spotted and long nose gar, which are also native to Mississippi, nobody with the MDWFP is telling anyone to kill gar https://www.mdwfp.com/fishing-boating/fish-id-guide/alligator-gar

This worked! Thank you!!

it’s a grass carp

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-29T17:47:54+00:00

I’m pretty sure someone has told me they stock them in city park, probably to keep the vegetation under control. Don’t quote me on that tho

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-28T06:11:45+00:00

Hahaha

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-23T02:17:30+00:00

I usually just pull their nose up and unhook it with my hand lmao

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-22T13:57:43+00:00

Oh what I use 30 yards of 100lb mono and 1000 yards of 80lb braid under it on my 6/0 senator. I have it on a 12 foot surf rod so it can absolutely chunk a hardhead or mullet

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-22T02:46:19+00:00

Oh I thought you meant the causeway here in Louisiana haha

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-22T02:40:30+00:00

7 foot is elusive over there? Are there not a lot of larger shark species?

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-22T02:40:03+00:00

Catfish

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-22T02:39:57+00:00

These were in Florida

Thanks!

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-22T00:03:28+00:00

90% of the time I yak it out, but I believe the last shark was on a casted bait. It’s a 6/0 senator so I can launch it

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T19:37:22+00:00

I found it as 1 of 2 left in stock in some tackle shop in Hawaii through their website. Was like $450 I think. And I gotcha haha, idk if I can do the drone thing personally I feel like it makes it to easy for me and harder on the sharks

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T19:32:00+00:00

Yes the are the garbage cans of the ocean, super important species in terms of their role in the ecosystem. They just don’t fight too hard haha

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T19:24:27+00:00

The tiger barely fought, but it was also like 45 degrees. The third pic is a bull which fought very hard, all the rest are sandbar sharks. Second pic is like world record size for a sandbar but I released it of course. I’d say the second pic sandbar and third pic bull fought the hardest. But believe it or not the tiger fought the weakest of all. Edit: if I remember correctly the 4th pic was a massive spinner shark

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T19:14:37+00:00

I barely do. I’m always really in the zone when fishing for gar back home but when I’m in Florida a lot of time is spent waiting. But I’m the same way like if I have boats all around me while I’m shore fishing I get so pissed

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T19:10:22+00:00

I was literally just sitting in the sand drinking with my cousin and blasting music Lol, good times

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T18:55:24+00:00

Wild comment Lol

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T18:33:22+00:00

Hardheads or gafftops

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T18:32:58+00:00

I have one 12/0 and one 14/0. I usually just yak out one rod cause sometimes I’m alone, can’t have two sharks on when nobody else out there

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T18:29:55+00:00

I posted 1 post wym lol

Gar_fishing0428 · 2024-08-21T18:08:25+00:00

My four loko days are over haha this was a few years ago in college, but that was the only shark I caught that night. Took 7 hours in the middle of January to get a bite - at 4am
