[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2290938, member: 15527"] I manage to catch one gar for about every six I miss. These are extremely good fighters. When you get one next to the bank, drop a heavy rag over it's bill to grab it and pick it up. It's the safest way I know of and it saves wear and tear on your hands and fingers from all those teeth. Even with their mouth closed, there are still a LOT of teeth on the outside that WILL tear your hand up if you don't have a heavy rag or glove to grab them with. Don't ask me how I know this... I used a medium spinning rod with 6/20 Spider Wire and I doubled the last 12" of line to serve as a 40 lb. leader. Even with that, I still lost two really nice fish after a 5 minute long fight, with them making my drag sing like there was no tomorrow. Oh well, there will always be another day, and I'm already looking forward to it.... DAVID [/QUOTE]
