Anyone have a successful way to fish for Alligator Garfish

In Texas when fishing drainage ditches I would spot them at the surface and through a topwater bait with good hooks and really set if they bite.
 
In HS used to catch them all the time, live bluegill 1-2 ft below huge bobber....leave w the bale open....let them run when they take...looks like Jaws swimming away....then a giant hook set and hang on.

Worked really well and a fun way to kill some time on the dock by the lake....
