It took him almost 3 hours to reel it in. That's some talented fishing to land it on 6 pound line.

Wow thats amazing. Thank you for sharing that with us. Some serious amount of skill and patience there.

6 lb test! Incredible. Giant fish. During my bowfishing decade, I had a few shots at Gator gar but couldn't bring myself to kill a fish that was possibly older than me.

Outstanding no doubt but to think what else is out there??..?? There’s bigger I know 

Good lord.

6 is good stuff, always been my fav
