I know most of you guys cut your line when yall hook up with one of these but sometimes it's not all that bad when your after them . Caught these with shrimp fishing the bottom . We made patties yesterday and cooking down some balls in a brown gravy tonight ! Yummy for my tummy !http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b3433cc201.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c73ed49120.jpg

We have an older guy from New Iberia area living down the street and he loves them. He tells me every spring if I catch any to cut their tail off, tie them behind the boat for a few minutes, then ice them down and he will come get them. He always wants the tail cut to "bleed them down"
Good fish. Glad to see someone targeting them.
they are creepy lookin.....
Nasty fish for sure. I cut the line on them, they do fight for sure though.

Fightingest rascal that swims in freshwater... and the best sashimi out there plain and simple....
Had guy by deerpark that was the only fish he fished for! Swore they were better than alligator gar! I don't know myself, but them gar sure are good!
Just don't get you fingers in their mouth. Them teeths are sharp. I bled like a pig. :Rofl
I used to go in a pirogue to Bodcau dam and fish with a white spinner bait for them just for fun. You'd see them jumping all over the lake. Those jokers would tow the front of my boat left and right while I was reeling them in. Haven't done that in a long time but had a blast doing it.

I can't explain how good that was !! Lol . Believe me when I'm sacalait fishing I'll cut them loose too but when they bite I love to get them ... It's almost like a tradition , I guess every year . Gar balls is next month !
