“We’re working on something huge,” he says.
Moore told McClutch News that the muddy river is somewhere in the “Big Region of Houston,” but to protect the fish, he reveals nothing more about his gar fishing spot. Refused.
The strength of being pulled away from Moore suggests what creatures he has on Hook.
“It’s like walking on a T-Rex,” he says.

Moore didn’t have the opportunity to weigh the fish before returning it to the river, so there’s certainly no way to know how heavy it is, but he estimates it was about 300 pounds.
“This is by far the most amazing catch in my life, and it’s not even close,” says Moore. “I was able to fish for the rest of my life and never saw anything like that again.”
When the measurements are complete, Moore carries the gar underwater and puts it back in the free, video show. It jumped out of his hand and easily defeated him in the process.
It’s important to catch and release, Moore wrote on his YouTube page and asked others to do the same, especially for Gar.
