'When I saw the size of his head, I realized he might be pushing 8 feet,' angler Payton Moore says
Alligator gar are the second-largest freshwater fish in North America, second only to the white sturgeon. The Texas state record for rod and reel is 279 pounds, and the current world record is 327 pounds. Ask YouTube angler Payton Moore about the biggest fish he has ever hooked, and he will tell you it was like walking a Tyrannosaurus rex in the muddy waters of a Texas bayou.
Admiring the work of Animal Planet’s extreme angler Jeremy Wade of "River Monsters," Moore started learning how to fish more effectively, and that’s whenstarted. He wanted to educate the public about as many freshwater ecosystems as possible within the Houston area. Four years ago, it evolved into his full-time job.
"I don’t know if that is a part of the reason why I ended up hooking the fish, but I cast the bait, and it took the bait about five minutes later," he said.He said alligator gar in that river tend to feed on buffalofish because of its substantial population, and mullets are rarer. Internally, he started freaking out with excitement when he compared the size of the fish to his rod and reel.
Caught by any means: 302 pounds, 90 inches long – Harvested on Jan. 1, 1953, from the Nueces River by T. C. Pierce, Jr. on a trotline.
