Yeah, some of those southern lakes are practically choked full of gar. You'll make a lot of the fisheries guys happy by removing some of them. They don't get much fishing pressure otherwise.
(and just for the record, that's abig spotted gar, longnose have really, really long skinny noses)
You gotta luv the attitude of a gar!
How'd you do at the tourny?
