We're celebrating GarWeek by remembering that everything is bigger in Texas, including the gar! Do you remember this catch in May? ⬇️ OKWildlifeDept SolomonRDavid
Most people think of fishing as a relaxing way to pass an afternoon. But for YouTuber and conservationist Payton Moore, a recent fishing excursion was instead an intrepid monster hunt.
After hauling the fish ashore and measuring it, he released the gar back into the wild. Then he uploaded a video of the catch to his channel, WILD LIFE on May 7."This was an excellent specimen," Nate Smith, a research biologist at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department who researches alligator gar, told Live Science."It’s hard to say what the exact weight was without more precise measurements or an official scale, but it's obviously a big fish.
Gars belong to an ancient lineage of fish that were once widespread across the globe. Fossil remains of extinct gar dating back to the Cretaceous period have been unearthed in Europe, Africa and south Asia, according to the Florida Museum. Only seven species are still around today.
