[cool] You said a mouth full there!!!!!!!!!!!!! To me gar is one UGLY fish!!!!!! When I was a kid my grandfather took me bream fishing and a man and woman in a 10' jon boat was going down the bayou with their stringer of fish hanging off the side of the boat(in the water). My grandfather pointed behind the boat and an alligator gar was following the boat, trying to get the stringer of fish. You could see his back coming up out of the water. Lesson learned == Do not put fish on stringer to hang in the water. I either put them in the livewell or in an ice chest on ice. [/reply]
Last year I had a pearch on a stringer in the mouth of a drainage ditch. I'm fishing away down the bank, and hear this thrashing and splashing. I went to investigate, and a big northern pike has a death-grip on my pearch, trying to pull the whole stringer into the water. Some quick net work, and said pike wound up on the stringer next to the perch[cool]. A new method of live bait fishing maybe?
