so i went out to old river, launched kayak at Gou hole boat ramp... im padding out and fishing the bank with no luck, all the sudden i see an ENORMous splash about 1/8 of a mile in front of me... i start flipping out its on go pro and my phone... anyways so i paddle over that way to investigate and there is something gigantic that obviously is out of place... at first i say on cam thats the size of a shark... thyen i think oh maybe jacks? or a school of reds? anyways i get closer and i see it busting on bait fish... or something... i remind you im like 1/4 mile south of I-10... then it disappears... so i throw out a popping cork and pop it 10 times making alot of noise thinking that will bring it out... sure as shit here comes a 5-7 foot BULLSHARK, swims right next to my popping cork checking it out, out of its left eye then swims on... blew my mind. never seen anyyyy shark fishing salt and then i see a bull shark fishing pretty fresh water, i know they can be found up fresh water in rivers etc but wow was pretty cool... saw many gar swim up to my yak... saw huge catfish porpoising in front of me... wtf?! caught nothing. so then i leave and go to the wallisville dam, i start fishing at the boat ramp between the ramp and little fishing pier and proceed to catch 20+ blue catfish on every single cast, i get bored after keeping 4 nice ones and went down to oak island... dead and fort anahuac.. i was the ONLY person there... so on my way back to houston i decide to stop back at wallisville dam and proceed to catch 3 more even bigger blue cats around 18-20 inches... i get down to last piece of cut mullet that i took off my surf pole with 50# braid that i had a bottom rig sitting in the river for...2 hours? nnot a single bite on that all the while im slayin catfish 2 feet under a popping cork on cut mullet... last cast last piece of bait something takes it... its heavy.. im like oh crap im not getting this up on the pier so i run down the pier to the left towards the boat ramp and it tried to make a run for it i horsed it around and up it comes... 6 foot alligator gar.. i slid it onto the sand and hop over the rail on the pier down to the sand and like a DUMBASS i tried to pull the fish a little more onto the sand and being it was my ugly stick and penn reel with only 15lb mono snap goes my line fish turns to the right and scoots into the water with my popping cork... i about lost it i started cussing and threw my pole to the truck packed up my shit got in the truck and drove 90mph down I-10 yelling F*ck f*ck until my throat hurt... end of day...
