Caught My Personal Best Record Longnose Gar 26 LB - 3 OZ!!!

It took me 12 years to do it but as said when I texted Debbie after catching this monster Longnose Gar "I whooped yo ass"!!! On July 28th 2008 Debbie caught a 23 LB - 6 OZ Longnose Gar, our biggest Gar we have ever caught in many years of fishing for Longnose Gar on West Point Lake. The biggest Gar ever in my boat!!! Everytime I come home from Gar Fishing and I say "Caught a big one today!" she always comes back with "Not as big as mine!" After yesterday I'll never have to hear that again! She didn't take it well at first texting "Don't see a photo can't fool me" and I texted back "How bout video of me weighing it lol". She texted "I need to weigh scales to be sure". Then when I got home with the photo she submitted to my victory! She then said "Took you long enough" I guess I'll have to hear that everytime I mention my 26 LB - 5 OZ Gar now. "Took you long enough" Took you long enough". I can't win can I?

West Point Lake Gar Fishing 18 Pounds 1ounce 51 Inches Gar Today

Today was a scouting day for a guide trip I have coming up next Tuesday with Jeff and his son or sons. Jeff, I spotted some big gals today and I know just where to go for a great day on the water for Tuesday..

I went ahead and got it out of my system early today with a nice 18 pound 1 ounce fighter that measure 51 inches long. Before that I let three Gar get loose that on purpose that you would have been proud to catch as well.

The water temperature is finally got well into the 80's today which means that Gar are getting active rather than sort of lethargic as they have been with the fluctuating water temperatures we've had over that last few weeks.

In summary, it's going to be a great day for you guys and I can't wait to introduce you to the best and most exciting game fish on West Point Lake!

2011 Longnose Gar Season Has Begun On West Point Lake

2011 Longnose Gar Season Has Begun On West Point Lake

After about two weeks of Gar sightings I tossed my ropelure in front of this nice 15 pound 51 inch Gar and he splammed it's teeth shut on it. As you can see in the video it layed down for me for a moment then once it was near the boat and saw my ugly face, it stipped out so much line that it found a tangle in my spool just as it can to a stop.

I also saw a fairly large black Gar that nipped at my lure but didn't take it. Then after moving to another location I found Garzilla! She was in about a foot of water, in a spawning mood and wouldn't have a thing to do with my lure.

In the next few weeks after this hopefully last cool front Gar Fishing will begin to really light up, and I can't wait!
