Caught a 9-10 lb Gar! I wasn’t prepared to catch him. I did not have a net. He was a beast. So I tried to get him to spit the hook and he eventually did. Still such a fun catch. I just wasn’t prepared to handle him this evening! You can see he fought like a tank. Best part is catching him on 10 LB Yo-Zuri Braided line—-on a Mini Original Rooster tail by Wordens! I couldn’t believe that he hit it. First ever Gar using a Rooster Tail. Caught on my Penn Fierce IV 2500. 👍🎣👌🌅
