Last time I caught a garfish I also caught two different strains of staph under a finger nail and almost lost my finger.

Nice gar Gene; look at this one killed close to here a few years ago. I have waded chest deep in the water where he was taken.New LA State Record Alligator Gar | Flickr - Photo Sharing!



Also I think young crappie at at risk around gar but I have caught a lot of crappie and gar from the same area before. This has happened mainly in ox bow lakes in warm weather.

No Vet. They run em out IMO. If a Gar roll in your structure, move on.HTH

Gars are good indicators. If I fish a cut and don't get a bite in a normal spot AND gars are always Rollin on THE SURFACE real often, I consider it dead water and leave. Not worth the time.
