Hey c4jun,
Welcome to BFT! It is great how a guy from the Great Pacific Northwest gets to meet a guy from Cajun contry and share pics of fish and such...gotta love the internet.
Nice fish. Those gar sure are toothy buggers. Are they good eating? Do you just just fillet them and cook 'em up like any other fish? I have read on this and other forums that they are fun to catch. One fellow was talking about how they use yarn lures without hooks and the gar get their teeth hung up on the yarn because their mouths are so tough that a hook can not penetrate it. Is that the same kind of gar you are catching?
