Capt Milton Nieto

Georgia State

Dallas, TX

While we were out fishing with our guest from Georgia, we reeled in an Alligator Gar that took a bite out of Capt. Miltons boat. He got himself wedged and couldn't get out, it was pretty funny, check it out guys!

In this video guys we measured a lake record Blue Catfish using the IGFA formula that calculates the weight of the fish if a certified scale is not available. Here's the formula we used and the fished measurements: 
Length x Girth x Girth ÷ 800 
50 × 35 × 35 ÷ 800 = 76.56
Unfortunately we missed a few steps to get thus fish certified so it will remain the Unofficial Lake Recod Blue Catfish

Please enjoy, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Alan from Waco Tx joined us this weekend for a day of fishing fun. After a few tries he finally hooked into a GIANT Alligator Gar and jumped in the Trinity River with his one in a lifetime catch! Would you jump in the river and go swimming with these Giants like Alan did? Would you even swim in the Trinity River? Tell me what you think and thanks for watching guys!

Our guest Luke and Tara flew down from Minneapolis Minnesota to try to capture some Alligator Gar content for their YouTube fishing page. In this video Luke was hooked onto a good fish when it started flying out of the water in an attempt to get away. Luckily he did not get away and we were able to catch this glimpse of these powerful creatures in a Rion. Please enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions about our trips or catches.

Reeling in an Alligator Gar is just half the task. How do you land the Alligator Gar or net it? Unfortunately, there is not a net strong enough or big enough for the Giant creatures. The only way to bring them in the boat is to "Cowboy Up!" Capt Milton Nieto shows us an example of roping and landing an Alligator Gar that his Washington State guest reeled in. First you need a lasso. Second place it around the Gar mouth in just past its gills. Lastly, gently bringe the Gar over the side of the boat! I hope you enjoyed, if you habe any questions or feedback just ask. 

Thanks Capt. Milton Nieto

This is how you rope an Alligator Gar

Client reels in a GIANT then jumps in the water for a picture with a GIANT Alligator Gar. My question to you is, "would you swim in the Trinity River?"

Would you swim in the Trinity River? 

Yes you are reading this right! Capt Milton Nieto does it again, this time it was with Galveston client Michael Ross. It was a very cold day that day and the fish were definitely biting. After releasing several fish in the thirties this guy decided to join the party! He hammered that bait, folded over the rod and got himself hooked. After using the IGFA record formula we showed close to eighty pounds, we called it seventy just to be safe still shattering that lake record by almost thirty pounds. Enjoy the release guys!

Capt. Milton Nieto Xtreme Fishing Charters gets pulled in the river by GIANT Alligator Gar we named "Scarface"! Look closely at this Alligator Gars mouth and you will see a huge gash, that's now scared up and healed. This must have happened at a adoselent age and never affected the Gars health, because he was strong enough to pull capt Milton Nieto into the river while on the rope. Stay tuned for Part 2 which is the actual video of "Scarface" being reeled to the boat and caught. 

Thanks for watching, please comment if you have any questions.

Catching a game fish and harvesting it while casting for bait fish is illegal. So, we did the right thing and released this nice bass! He swam off just fine and lives in this nice healthy pond. I guarantee you this fish is just fine!!

The weather was miserable that night, we almost turned back to the boat ramp a few times because the North winds were rocking our boat and waves were crashing over the bow. We knew if we could get to an area with covered trees the fishing would be awesome. Here are the results, a 16 year old boy from Huntsville TX landed this fish making it the JR Lake Record (Catch and Release) April 2023
