I think the gar are just in there with them looking for something to eat

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

Speaking of gars.

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.
