That's a neat-looking fish. I saw one in Wisonsin about a month ago. It had an almost diamond-shaped pattern on it's back, down the whole length of it. It was a little less than 3' long, and it had these orange-ish stripes that criss-crossed it's back. Of course, I didn't have my bow, but I was happy to at least see it.

I'm thinking my best bet of shooting some bigger gar anywherenorthwould be Hennepin, and that's so far west, I may as well go to one of the lakes down south.
