If you would have told me back in 2007 when I started Garzilla that people from 172 different countries would travel all the way to Texas just to fish with us on the Trinity River, I would have told you that you were completely out of your mind.
Honestly, it’s still hard to wrap my head around.
We just put together a "Hall of Fame" page on the website to look back at some of the folks who have stepped onto our boat over the years. Seeing names like Jeremy Wade from River Monsters, Gordon Ramsay, Johnny Morris, Matt Hughes, and Cody Cannon all in one place is just surreal.
These are people who have seen it all and could hire any fishing guide on the planet, but they chose to come out here and chase prehistoric alligator gar with us.
I’m just a guy who loves this river and loves putting people on the fish of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful and humbled by every single person who has trusted us to show them what Texas fishing is all aboutβ€”whether you're a household name or a first-time angler.
Thank you all for letting me live this dream. Take a look at the wall of legends we've been lucky enough to host so far:

The alligator gar in your fishing photo might be older than your grandparents.

In 2024, scientists used carbon dating on alligator gar otoliths (the tiny bones in their inner ears) to age these fish. The result confirmed what TPWD biologists had long suspected: alligator gar are a centenarian species. One fish came back at exactly 100.5 years old.

The growth timeline from the research:

🐟 3 feet = ~3 years old
🐟 6 feet = 20-30 years old
🐟 7 feet = ~40 years old
🐟 8 feet = 50-80+ years old
🐟 8'5" world record = 95-100+ years

Our newest blog breaks down all the TPWD research, the nuclear-bomb carbon dating science (yes, really), and why every 7-foot fish on the Trinity should be released to go grow another 30 years.

TPWD research using carbon dating shows alligator gar can live 100+ years. Here's how long it takes one to reach 8 feet and why these fish deserve protection.
