solopaddler Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Holy gar fest Batman! That's a whole lotta sharp spiny teeth.
Fisherpete Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Incredible report as always Bunk. Very cool, and on my bucket list. Pete
Twocoda Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Ive never read a "NO TRESPASSING" sign that i could understand...do i qualify ? Having JUST been bite with the GAR quest im totally envious of your report..really nice shootin and one hell of a report
Nipfisher Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Lake Nipissing has some good Gar in her but not sure of 50"ers. Great report again Drew.
Rod Caster Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Lake Nipissing has some good Gar in her but not sure of 50"ers. Great report again Drew. That's exactly where my mind wandered too! Pure inspiration this report is.
206 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 What an amazing fish...I've seen a few in my travels but they have never seemed to take interest in anything throw at them...wasted a hour outa a walley tourny chasing a 4 footer around a shallow bay lol
FisherJuli Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Incredible! Those guys have teeth that don't end, beautiful markings... And as for Summer, I know that fishing bug all too well! I always wanted to catch a gar... Now, I am rethinking that! I think I will enjoy your pics for now, instead!
johnl Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 this is one of the most impressive posts i've seen and i've been in awe of some posts of brookies muskie,char and others those gar are unbelievable great job they are tied in my books with muskie and brookies
Whitespinnerbait Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Absolutely Amazing !!! enough said right there. This report puts the Bass reports to shame
limeyangler Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 LOVE IT. Those pics are stunning as usual.... kinda weird...but found myself thinjking...."i wonder what Gar smell like"
Moosebunk Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Posted June 19, 2012 Appreciated all. The report was obviously a tonne of fun in the making and it turned out to read more calmly than I had anticipated it would. Quite a few photos were left behind as my Internet is so absolutely terrible and I basically have to bulk upload pics from elsewhere. So a labor of love it is and thanks again for enjoying. How do they fight? Most average fish fight not all that great really. Usually good for a short run or two. What's awesome about gar though, is the take!!! And bigger fish though, I've had a few this summer really surprise me with more and longer runs. Past few summers seen a small handful of gar that would honestly guess at being in the 20 to maybe 25 pound range... and one still haunts, that I think could be better and around the 55-60 inch caliber and maybe beyond 25. Would bet that giant could rock!!! Are you doing any post-shoot processing to get that sharpness and vividness? They really look great! Always playing in the darkroom. An older Paint Shop from Jasc has been a tool since day 1.
MJL Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Just incredible fish! Awesome report Drew Hopefully this season, I can land my first gar
dave524 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Yes epic report lived in few locales where they were common, Welland River, Long Point Bay and travelled to a few spots that had them like Bay of Quinte and particularly Stocco Lake where they were thick, but those are the most and biggest I have ever seen
Dutch Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Wow, just wow. Great report and thanks for sharing your adventures. Keep 'em coming.
danc Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 What a fun report to read Drew. I've read the odd Gar report on here in the past but you took it to the next level, and then some. Beautiful photos of those relics too!!
Leecher Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Loved every bit of it Drew Gar fishing at it's best Doesn't get much better than that Thanks for taking the time to post and share those magnificent pictures!!! TJunkie
Joey Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Holy smokes you know how to catch fish there Drew. Awesone report. I've never caught a gar. I've seen them swimming around while muskie fishing, but never targeted them and they did not go for the musky lure Excellent photos aswell (as usual).
Moosebunk Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 Joey... if you were closer and the timing was right, we could probably get ya a first. Takes some practice though, gar don't come easy and alot are lost. Dan... you must be getting pumped up for something soon... eh??? Keepin' an eye on the lunar calendar? I'll be around, as always! Again, thanks for checking in and droppin' a line all. Next round, OTHER fish with teeth!!!
Slop Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Not only did I enjoy the photos...I really enjoyed the story telling. Stealth bomberloads of Garrr for Summer, Dad, Garl(the Gouin) and self made Mike. Too bad you spoiled our double on the day....we'll hunt again.
