Thread: cooking gar

Caught at Christmas vacation '09 at "lumberyard". 25 lb. 56 1/2" 6 lb. test/12' Wally Marshall rod - hooked in the tail...45 minute tussle. I cleaned this dinosaur as my two nephews watched in amazement/disbelief. Too big however, meat was fibrous and chewy when fileted, cubed and fried. Smaller ones have been better tablefare over the years.
