So much for pulling cranks
Should have released some of those big ones on the people that started all the carp trouble to begin with!
I hope they took those far from the Tenn Tom Waterway to out in over there. Those things are as aggravating as anything. Specially when spider rigging. Ifn ya hook a two foot gar, you can expect at least one other pole, if not two others, tangled up.
Well.....whats gonna keep the gar from eating all the other fish species....like crappie? Sounds like another bad idea to me.
This is retarded. Trade a lake full of carp for a lake full of gar?
Why not use that shocker boat to get rid of the carp? How big is this lake?
I ain't no rocket scientist but most of the oxbows the asian carp are in are full of aligator gar and had not had an effect on them. Just look at Tunica cutoff or DesotoLake.
22 cal. rat shot works real good on both of them.
Shock em and Choot em!!!
I agree. And take the ones they kill and feed um to the prisons in the state.Quote:

We got em over here. The alligator gar has more of a flat bill vs the slim bill of a short nosed gar. They both suck.
No I dont think that I've ever caught a true alligator gar. Still, shock em as shoot em. Could probably make the state some money by selling guided carp shock hunts. I'd give em 50 if they let me drink beer and shoot em. Be really interesting to see what else floated up too
Empty how come you will pay $50 to shoot carp but not join MCC? We drink beer!
Cause chootin involves killing
The only thing I see prehistoric about this is the idea itself.
Agree with you on that Bill.Quote:

That almost looks illegal. I mean, good thang you know what to white out. G would've had a fit ifn you'd a showed them moobs. Bwahahahahahaha.
You're right minner. Moobs are outlawed in several states
Sounds like a long range plan to me. I'm with ya'll. We're probably swapping one problem fish for another----time will tell. Bee is one lake well suited for this kind of experiment. If it goes south, what the heck. We just lost another lake that I could fish in. Don't know if I'll be around to see the outcome of this project, so I'll just wish Dennis and his crew the best of luck.
Don't think that it'll work. Those carp reproduce faster that that few gar can eat them. I wish them luck with this project. Given the speed that the carp is capable of, it seems to me that the gar would likely target the slower sport fishes. IMHO!!!!!!!
