Ottawa Gar

[MuskieWannabe]

Hit up same gar yesterday....couldn't find the tape measure but she would be pushing the 50" plateau I think.... If her tail had been straight out she'd look a bit bigger, but she's up there.

[MuskieWannabe]

an inline spinner, black with orange blades...It was pretty sweet. I may try taking a video next time....

Nice fish. We found them all over the place up in Georgian bay on Saturday but couldn't get them to do anything. Damn things just lied there and you could pretty much reach over and pick them up. Not nearly the size of that one though, what a brute (if a gar pick can be called a brute )

[Guest Johnny Bass]

Very nice!! I've caught gars in Florida close to that size and they can really put up a fight and have really sharp teeth!Thanks for sharing!

[smbhunter]

That is a huge gar! It may be close to the canadian record for both weight and length. You should try fly fishing for them, it's great fun, and a better fight then one conventional tackle.

Great job!
