Hit the river again today. Caught 17 and kept 10 that ranged from 13" to 15". Not one of the throw backs was under 10".

Then I got onto this critter. Took at least 10 mins. just to get it to surface.

Them some nice uns Pontiac
Nice fish. The heat has me beat, have not been on the river for two weeks........ Going to look at a new rig Saturday......a Gheenoe LT25...........should go fishing it's cheaper..........
Them LT's are nice, make sure ya test ride one. They don't like rough water= wet ride in slop. Almost bought 1 before I bought the G3. They do fish very good though.
Way-cool Pontiac, keep posting them summer slabs, unlike crappieday em' goin try to make it out for the second week in row, in morning, good luck with the boat search c-day.
Great job and fun pics!!!
Thanks guys. No lightwirehooks in the river because of the big gar and cats. Things that big I like to see if I can land them.Quote:

No I didn't. I think the next time I get one that big, might give it a try.Quote:

Too much work for any smaller that what you caught. And dont eat the roe, very toxic to humans.
Good job. Thanks for sharing. When is the heat and low water going to quit?
Gar roe is poisonous to humans but I hear it is an awesome bream bait.
Gar are good cooked in a tomato gravy.
Nice mess Russ! Sweet!!
