Fishing For Monster Alligator Gar From A Kayak
For 4 years now i have been trying to land a 7 foot alligator gar from a kayak its an extremely difficult thing to do, or has proven to be in my case. Getting a good hookset and not getting towed through underwater trees being the main concerns, that and a jumping gar can, well you know jump in your lap!
Well i'm getting closer, 4 more inches and I would have my goal of a 7 foot Gar from the kayak. She gave an awe inspiring fight pushing my little yak to the limits. May be my biggest gar landed from the kayak to date.
My gear is
Malibu Kayaks Mini-X
Okuma Coranado A (dont buy this reel)
Kast King 150# braid
Ugly Stik Medium Action Tiger

Congrats on that one... I have caught numerous small ones and they are fun. That one was sure to have been a rodeo.
