Seen that a couple days ago on the River Monsters Facebook page in one of the gar discussions. Wouldn't surprise me if theres a 400lb gator gar lurking somewhere.

Just tried it again. Plays fine for me.
My father-in-law went Gar fishing in Louisiana last year. Came home with this 7 footer. Course they did it a little different down there. Fished with whole chickens and "caught" it on rope. Dispatched with a .40.

I like gar..i like the smaller ones for eating best,like under 4 foot..
i cut the meat into shrimp size pieces and boil in zataran crab and shrimp boil.
I follow the dirrections on the bottle,,, dip in garlic butter or shrimp sauce..i cook mine for 5-7 minutes in the boil,,,then let set for 5 or so then drain and eat...
I have cleaned many and the best way i have found.
filet knife inserted under scales starting near the tail...filet the meat away from the shell while the fish is all together,( running the knife between the meat and outer shell),stop at the bottom of the sides ..
move up about 4inches at a time ,,,,then cut with snips straight up the back and lay the side scales over and filet the meat off the bones,,,

Holy crap! Thats a big gar!
My biggest is only a 12 pounder. Ate good though
Where the river winds through Harrah, there is a big giant pool of Carp and Gar that just flop around on the surface during the summer months. I've bowfished COUNTLESS gar out of that pool. There are tons of them in there. It's a blast. They usually run about 2'-3' long in there, but I've seen a couple on the shoreline that were 3'+.
I think that the person with the state record gator gar is a member here. Maybe he'll post some pics and stories.
I haven't targeted them but won't hesitate to shoot one while bowfishing in their area during the open season.

The guy that caught the gar works at the same place I do. I believe it was snagged.
