Captain Kirk started guiding alligator gar fishing in 1999, and since then, he's caught alligator gar from Mexico to the Mississippi river and all parts in between.

He has caught the largest gar ever by rod and reel, a 365 lb alligator gar in 1991 that was fish was 9 ft 6 in long.

Captain Kirk is proud to say that he's caught 6 fish over 300 lbs, and his trips catch from 1 to 6 fish over 200 lbs each year. Captain Kirk has also amassed over 100 IGFA world records for all species.

Captain Kirk gets it done when it comes to catching monster Alligator Gar- he's great with kids and families and looks forward to hosting your next unforgettable adventure!

Kirk also runs badass hog hunts out of Coldspring, Texas! Join him to blast some feral hogs, which are a major problem in this part of the country.
