Too bad you spoiled our double on the day....we'll hunt again.

 

Spoiling is what I do best! Spoiling you but spoiling everything too.

Maybe it's time for you to take a trip to Texas??

I surely hope folks "hunting" gar and other fish species like that, treat the fish like they would any animal taken. You know, eat the meat or mount the head or the fish. That gar is a heckuva creature and there have been some others like it seen online before that were hunted to be killed. This guy though seems like a bit a piece of work and didn't by his report hunt in too safety smart a manner. Things could have gotten bad for him.

 

Thanks for that link for sure though FL. Amazing big fish. No not headed to Texas anytime soon but one of those on an ultralight, maybe some catfish noodlin' and giant largie slay would be a fun go in the BIG State!!!

 

Wonder what gar tastes like??? I "heard" the eggs were poisonous to other fish but don't know if that's true???

Fantastic report and pictures MB. I heard from a guy that fished Gar used Dacron to make his fly, their teeth get caught in the Dacron and not the hook.
