Hi, I'm new,great site,I caught this ,4/13/11 16,3/4 pounds 49"South Florida longnse gar, its rare for longnose down here in miami.caught in everglades L3 canal could be the only gar caught this far south for "rod and reel". biologist picked up my fish today around noon thinking it was a Florida gar. I will consider eating next gar I catch. I wonder witch is tastier, FL.gar or longnose? thanks.Buffalo Tiger is an indian chief ,he lives across the street, says he used to eat them all the time. and has never seen a longnose gar.
hometown hero .One was caught in Homestead,a bit more south,20min.drive,that longnose was caught electrofishing..dude never got back with me on size or weight?,probably smaller than mine.[cool]sorry to of skipped on my introduction,I just been wanting to share my pics so bad I did'nt even think about it.One thing about me,I am known to influence peoples lives.securedownload is the gar pic,I was totally dumbfounded when I saw this fish at the end of my line,I seen tarpon in this canal so I thought it was one.A strong fish long fight.couple of times I had to hold my spool to keep him out of the lillies,got her on 6lb suffix braid,on a cheap durangospinning outfit 6to 12 lb rod.
