Good report Corker, and a nice catch. I'm wondering how you are catching those toothy fish. On the river I often have them hit but have rarely landed one. The fellows that fish for them (yes, there are a few) take about 6" of nylon line (rope) and double it over. they close the loop with a wire tie (flourescent color) and then shred the rest of the lure with a wire brush, making it look like a bucktail. No hook is used. They tie into the loop with a heavy line and then drift their home made lures with the tide in the summer. When the gar strike, their teeth become tangled in the shredded nylon, allowing them to be boated without ever encountering a hook. I'm not sure what they do with the fish, but I am told that some of the Chickahominies still eat them. Thanks again for the good report.
