Default RE: Good place for gar in Illinois?

For those who did not see this post in the Illinois Bowfishers forum...

Robow commented on Lake Mermet where Lady Forge got the nice gar shown above:
I've never seen so many spotted gar before in one location and although I can't say the quantity is there, the average fish is of very decent quality. I shot 6 with the largest going 5 3/4 lbs. I'm sure there are larger and undoubtedly a newstate record spotted gar could be had there since it presently stands at 7+ lbs.
Sounds like it's worth the trip.
