On this episode of Mississippi Outdoors TV, we went bowfishing on the Mississippi River, catching the second largest alligator gar in Mississippi history.
Im. 60 years old and have seen the big gator gar population decimated with bow fishing ,I grew fishing the Trinity river and have seen their numbers decline. The one thing about bow fishing there is no catch and release
I would tell you good luck normally but if there is a carp problem I don't understand killing gar . It's sad to say but this is why the carp keep spreading and taking over. But the dnr there should do something its their job and area of expertise
Yeah I love shooting. But I believe they've shortened the time your allowed to hunt for these and made the Asian carp year round. I don't see them ever going away sadly... They're like zebra muscles... Smh
Working on the river out of Memphis, I've taken my crossbow & fishing bolts to shoot from whatever barge we were shoving at the Asian carp jumping out of the water. I'd have so much fun that the towboat pilot would let me drive going back while he took a turn at it.
Damn. Yea realistically that fish probably loses a gallon of blood or more. That was a 190 plus possibly 200 lb fish. I’d really like to know an exact age.
Damn man,that Gar lived for decades to get that big,she deserved more respect than that...Guess you can't catch and release when you had a harpoon torn through yer body,that poor son of a beetch feesh.
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Landen Emmitt thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@@brians48now My question for you is if gator gar are "Trash fish" why kill them, they play an important role in the ecosystem. I am personally all for healthy hunting/fishing and bow fishing is a great way to do it, but if you take away predatory species you risk losing a valuable ecosystem. Plus in my opinion, they don't taste all that great.
Hopefully the dont like veil it's a shame to kill an animal so early in life. Circle of life man ashes to ashes and dust to dust. Everything will return to the earth
Nice. I would love to get a alligator gar. Here in NC I just have flounder, skate, gar, and carp I bowfish for. Drop a barb in a big skate and hold on. Makes great scallops!
Some do. They have one piece of backstrap that I've heard is good if prepared well. It's gamey and very fishey. The other parts are poisonous. You need to know what your doing. Lol you need a sawza to cut through the armor & a Sharp fillet knife .
What the fuck do y'all do with these motherfuckers after you shoot them with those arrows shooting these fish is crazy ass hell to me what's fun about this shit can u tell me ????
I don't feel this 2 guys are true sportsmen . Love to fish and hunt . But to kill a 100 year old fish that eats Asian carp sounds irresponsible to me .
i like fishing . but i practice catch and release. bow fishing is cruel. i hope humans can evolve past this barbarianism. if you want to go shoot and kill stuff, why not just play fortnite?
Because we're not city boy pansies who don't know how to skin a buck or run a trot line.. LOL. Animals wouldn't be around if it wasn't for traffic control aka hunters! Cruel? They're fish. They cannot comprehend any of this. They're as dumb as a butterfly 😭😭🤣🤙
@@TheFirstAmendment animals dont need you to keep them in check. Gar have been on this planet for millions of years before you and your ego were here. all im saying is that there is probably a more humane way to catch these animals to eat if you really need to eat them as a food source. nature doesn't give a shit about your youtube subscribers, so please act accordingly if you ego isn't too big.
thanks for pointing that out. you are a prime candidate to work for PETA or the ASPCA now because your comment made a world of difference in this post. .
"The limit on gar is 2 per person..."
Proceeds to shoot 37 gar in a row.
Great shooting! Congrats on the monster at the end!
There is NO limit on gar. He was talking about alligator gar.
Ain't it fun fishing with the game warden?
Limit on Alligator Gar is 2 per person. Longnose gar is what most of those that were shot were. No limit on those
WOW!!! THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A DINOSAUR!!!
good ..bro nice hunting..1000 like from slingshot fishing indonesia

Doesn’t make them less invasive it’s a good thing their population has went down
@@danielenright4174 they're not invasive dumbass and they keep carp numbers down
@@danielenright4174 do you even know what you're talking about?
Love bowfishing. Can't wait for the warm weather to hit.
The taxidermy man gonna love seeing u guy's show up that's awesome
Love bowfishing, but wish they protected the alligator gar. It's one of the few species that preys on the asian carp destroying our river systems.
Where can l find the bow to buy it
DL eek UB SSN TV s gt c sitcom disc RX TV CCB TCM go to Clovis's HB
I thought the idea was to protect alligator gar now.
AMS reels are the only way to go.
I use an old cool whip tub to coil my string into.
I use a 150# Horton Yukon compound crossbow with AMS fishing bolts.
Great fun,ain't it?
That's a good catch!!
Seen some big gar in the upper Tallahatchie. Prehistoric .....
DANG GUYS! IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE TWO BULL FIGHTERS TRYING TO TAKE DOWN A BULL!
Top meu irmão
GREAT video, very enjoyable
Damn that looks like fun!
Did someone say "we're gonna need a bigger boat".
I would tell you good luck normally but if there is a carp problem I don't understand killing gar . It's sad to say but this is why the carp keep spreading and taking over. But the dnr there should do something its their job and area of expertise
Do you guys eat all of those fish? Or just killing too kill?
how stupid can u get by killing all the predators when theres an invasive species?
AND ITS SPAWNING SEASON... just cmon!
Yeah I love shooting. But I believe they've shortened the time your allowed to hunt for these and made the Asian carp year round. I don't see them ever going away sadly... They're like zebra muscles... Smh
They also encourage people to take out the invasive species.
gostei muito parabéns pelo seu pescado 😁💎🇧🇷
Your skin is really clear, what exfoliating cream do you use?

That was some fine shooting. Congrats on the huge record fish. Also glad to see Kevin on the show.

@Landen Emmitt It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Zachariah Braydon glad I could help =)
Congrats
Ha, All Good
River monster
Pretty neat, but I would rather see catch and release.
Hunting ain't catch & release, my friend.
doughesson I'm not talking about hunting. Fishing... rod and reel. Catch and release.
Should have been shooting Asian Carp and left the Gar alone
They are both trash fish.

@@backyardbeasts925 I said Gar are trash fish. I did not say alligator gar. 2 very different fish.
@@brians48now Sorry for confusion.
Limits it 2 per person he got 3 good job
I have shot them they have so many bones I was amazed and the big gar I shot that scales were like armor
Limit is two they've caught more than that each
Quantas libras tem o arco usado
Killing a fish that's over 100 years old?? That's B.S. to me!!
Yeah, I guess he should have checked his ID first

Says the limp dick leftist troll
Why are you here dumbass!
Yosemite Sam my
What part of the Ms is this
Iwak boyo😂😂
Kenin Meachem thought you worked for primos?
Hay come up to the ILLINOIS river and have fun with the big head carp . Good job on the video keep it up 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Gar are not trash fish bud catch a clue an go for sumthin invasive
Heck of a trip!! I just posted a video on my channel going over the basics of bowfishing, check it out when you get the chance, I’d appreciate it!
Nice. I would love to get a alligator gar. Here in NC I just have flounder, skate, gar, and carp I bowfish for. Drop a barb in a big skate and hold on. Makes great scallops!
"2 per person." * proceed to shoot 89...*
He said "Gator Gar" was 2 per person, not spotted gar.
Get your ears checked because you can't hear for shit. Alligator gar has a 2 per person limit, not spotted gar.
Excuse me,,,,, you’re. :)
Good fish you caught, however, such a fish NEEDS to be released.
It would probably die after such injury.
fuck releasing big fish, that just fucks it up. Though I do get it if there are invasive species that those big fish feed on.
Do you guys eat these fish?
Some do. They have one piece of backstrap that I've heard is good if prepared well. It's gamey and very fishey. The other parts are poisonous. You need to know what your doing. Lol you need a sawza to cut through the armor & a Sharp fillet knife .
Eat gar !!
Why why why
Nice shooting
What the fuck do y'all do with these motherfuckers after you shoot them with those arrows shooting these fish is crazy ass hell to me what's fun about this shit can u tell me ????
100lbs lol
I don't feel this 2 guys are true sportsmen . Love to fish and hunt . But to kill a 100 year old fish that eats Asian carp sounds irresponsible to me .
Maybe a 15-20 year old- no where near 100. They don't eat enough asian carp to make a difference either way.
@@simsonlinebiology8556 the dude himself in the video said that fish was at least 100 years old!
not sustainable
Gar eat asian carp
They are releasing more and more every day. I do believe there is a size limit on them as well.
All carp are asian in origin why the common carp is now separated from grass, black, bighead, and silver carp is crazy. Yep gar control carp numbers.
czcams.com/video/YnZp1jtOhR0/video.html
The ones pictured in that boat don't.
Stop killing the garage there only a few species left
Do one on Asian carp, and I hope you made Jim Dorkey pay for that mount.... Or your the sucker.
Hey, soooo what happened to that 2 gar/person limit??
That's gator gar long nose short nose and spotted are completely different
@@kevinbyrd7348 oh ok, I didn't know there was a difference in the ones they were catching. Thanks.
Alligator gar smell horrible o don't even want one in my damn boat that is a foul smelling fish
i like fishing . but i practice catch and release. bow fishing is cruel. i hope humans can evolve past this barbarianism. if you want to go shoot and kill stuff, why not just play fortnite?

Some people grow up, get hair around their nuts, and become men. Then you have those who play Fortnite.

@@RyanBfromNYC Its like shooting fish in a barrel theres no pride or sport in it.
thanks for pointing that out. you are a prime candidate to work for PETA or the ASPCA now because your comment made a world of difference in this post. .
Total bullshit,,this aint fishing ,,they should banned this
Dudes are shooting straight into the water. Not only is that boring but a lack of sportsmanship. Slow moving targets...pfft
Not straight into the water, about a ft or 2 underneath lol
Would be a easier if they used bait.
