Q:
GERG---I read about your big gar in an earlier post. Were you fishing for gar specifically? Where? What bait? I never caught a really big one and always wanted to.

Country, I caught an alligator gar up in Fish River that was about 9 feet long. It was feeding on the specks in the river where my father had us fishing. He rigged up steel leaders with a spoons and a big hooks and added a piece of pork rind on the hook for us both. We trolled through the gars and caught several huge ones. We tied them to the boat and towed them behind all the way back to the landing. When we loaded the boat, we just let them drag on the road behind the boat all the way back to the house. ( dad's house was 1/4 mile from the boat ramp at the old ferry site). We hung them up in the airplane hanger and took pictures. Next time we meet, I will show them to you.
I've never caught a gar at all but I'd really like to. Anyone know how far north gars go?
Santa----I'll look forward to that. I've seen some huge gars down in Hal's Lake, but never had the tackle with me to try them out. I was always fishing for bass and bream---the good old days---wish I'd kept up my membership in that club, but I let it lapse forty years ago.
That was back in my younger days, but a friend has a head mounted from a bowfishing trip in Bon Secour River a few years back that is huge. He works on bows at Cambell Hardware. He can tell you where they were when he got his. There is a group of guys that hunt them with bows.
