Recorded in the muddy waters of the Trinity River, this video captures the heart-stopping action of the greatest gar guide around, Kirk Kirkland, helping my daughter Landra land the "unofficial junior world record" for a gar. Check it out!

When I was young we would catch Gars in the Mississippi River.
Never have I seen a Gar so big. Way to go Landra. Truly amazing.

Wow. That is crazy! I never realized there are fish that big in the Trinity River! Yikes! I used to live close to Dallas - and have been to the Trinity - and all I remember are the FIREANTS! Way to go Landra!

Allissa thought it is awesome to not only watch you preach on the tv, but to also see you and your daughter enjoy life outside of the pulpit. Great Catch! Holli & Allissa Read

Awesome footage and a great catch!
My 9 year old daughter says she wants to catch a world record snook . . . She doesn't know that all that time in a boat with me is "quality time" - good job Ed!
