i told this kid i would put him on the biggest fish he ever caught.he had a great time
myself i dont care to much for them,i like trout, reds and flounder.gar not to bad grilled with beer butter and seasoningvibes said:My friend Charlie catches gar all the time...what do ya do with them? Are they good eating fish?
No matter, I think I'll stick with my Lake Erie walleye and perch
not a problem,right after this shot the gar did a tail dance and the kid damn neer threw his rod down and ran for shore.i had to yell at him keep the tip up.packerbacker said:Hey Steve,
Hope you don't mind but I lightened that pic up a bit to show a little more. I'll pull it if you want. pb
you would think they would put up a better fight but not until they get about a hundered pounds.i use 20-25 pound test wih a steel leader.the guy in the background is the boys father.i took him fishing he's from austin, city boy.the first time he seen me have one hooked it did a tail dance i ran twards the water he thought i was crazy he didnt know what it was.i only had about 40yards on a bait caster so i had to make up some drag.he hooked up on one about 80 pounds once and when it got close to shore i jumped in kicked it in its tail,lol.it went nuts headed twards travis he fell down the gar turned and broke the line and got away.all in about 3inches of water.you are always welcome to my house and we''ll hook up on some gar anytime.RGINN said:That first pic don't begin to do justice to the fight he probably had. We need a pic of that tail dance thing they do, as most folks probably won't believe it. I can't get one up here. I need to run down there and go bowfishin at least once more before I fade away.
