Gar? - Page 2

Gar are like sharks. Being at the top of the food chain hasn't given them much reason to evolve.

I think I'll just stick with fighting with carp. That's enough fight for me. I don't think I would want to see a 300 pound alligator gar let alone try to land the sucker and kill it.

Nothing like fighting a big beast. Queezy, oh, I'm sorry, Qweetzy, you need to get a grip. You can live life or spend a whole lot of time doing nothing. Kick some ass. It'll give you something to tell your grandkids.

Thumper, if you have gar around, you won't be seeing bluegill [favorite food] Gar are tasty if prepared correctly. As far as to catching them, their mouth are boney. When they take the bait, let them run for 8-10 ft. They will hold their prey in their mouth and swim away. After a few feet, they will swallow. That is when you can set the hook. Bow fishing works also. I have seen them 8 plus feet.

From what I have heard and read the flesh of the gar is very tasty, but DO NOT FOR ANY REASON EAT THE ROE, IT CAN KILL YOU WITH JUST A TASTE
