Yeah good to help others out with the fish. It's been a while since I was able to do that myself.

Rcc I heard that them gar are good to eat. Never tried em myself but from what I hear they need to be 3 ft to get good meat and clip the back with tin snips as its like armor.
Dem gar balls is gud!!
Do you fill out the paperwork when you give them away?I bet you break a law by transferring them dockside.
Yep carry copies with me gomer
Looks like a fish fry waitin' to happen, LOL. WTG J.W.!
I wouldn't know the difference between a "he" gar and a "she" gar. Can you check them like you do a 'gator? Don't sniff you finger afterwards!!Quote:

I keep hearing about eating gar and for all us river oxbow fisherman we know they are thick this time of the year and I am mad at them. Mad enough to eat one. I caught so many this week that even Glenn and Mitchell would be proud. All joking aside, I know you can eat them but what size is the best.What do they taste like. I had them from 16" to 6' and lost 1/2 a dozen jigs I have to get even.
3' or larger, the only good meat is the back strap like the loin on a deer. Cube it, fry it, eat it fresh. No so good if it cools off.
There was an article in Arkansas Sportman magazine about a month ago that a recipe for gar balls. Crappie times are gonna have to get really hard for me to try it.
