Re: I challenge Kayakers to turn in catch and release records.

It was 92" and I just never got around to sending the paperwork in. I saw an AG last summer that I believe will be the new world record. That is all I plan on concentrating on this summer. Like Ron, I just dont want the publicity. I have enough people ask me where I fish now. I have been burned...

Great report Kim. We are back to the Yo-Yoing water levels again. I think it really screws the fishing up when we are in this Summer patter of fluctuating levels.

New Water = Big Fish

As some of you know Ron and I enjoy chasing what we call Trophy Alligator Gar (100+ pounds).Ron and I hit a different part of the Brazos via private access yesterday. We got on the river about 5:00 and proceeded downstream a couple of miles until we found a good looking spot. After unloading some ge...

Re: Gar-Gantuan

I have released all of the big gator gar I have caught. I will say that if/when I catch a 300 pound class gar I will not release her. I think fish like that are past their prime as far as spawning goes. I really think the 100-175 pound fish are the major spawners and I have released numerous fish in...

May have a actual fishing report by Sunday.

My partner in crime, Ron, and I are going to check some new water tomorrow. I'm hoping it works out for us. I am going to try and talk him into chasing some Gator Gar on Sunday.

Re: Variety on the Brazos

I was glad to get to the River Friday as I had a very stressful week. I really did not care wether I caught any fish or not. This was just a get away trip. The River is as low as I have ever seen it (as a matter of fact I peeled a piece of fiberglass off of the bottom of my boat going down Friday. I...
