Good to eat. No bones- they produce a high quality caviar. Good post.

It was a foul hook. Hooked it in the bill. Thought I had a huge gar.
I've eaten them before, but that was a pretty big fish. I took a couple of quick pics and let her go. I don't know what the growth rate of those fish is , but I'm sure it took a few years to get that big. Maybe she will live a few more years
