Good golly, those are some huge Gar! I'd hate to meet one of them in a dark alley!

Those are huge. I used to do allot of water skiing on a couple of the reservoirs down in Georgia. Those gars were always swimming around freaking me out. I've never known anybody to catch one though. I always thought they were difficult to catch.
That's impressive.

During my time living in Kissimmee FL and Daytona Beach FL we used to get alligator gar all night long, especially aggressive, used to hit the lure as soon as it hit the water most of the time. I'm not sure about the giant ones but of the docks in Lake Toho in Kissimmee you could catch them as fast as you could unhook and drop your line back in the water, no joke. They'd sit by the dozens around the docks and you could get 1 per minute if you were fast. Most of those were in the 18"-36" range though.

I may be new to fishing, and am impressed by almost anything I manage to catch, but I am doubly impressed by a 22lb gar! I can't imagine getting one of those bad boys landed!!
