Alligator Gar Fishing

Fishing for Alligator Gar in Texas. The wind was howling. The water was churned to chocolate milk and we opted to pursue bull redfish and alligator gar. This beast pulled with the force of an underwater semi-truck.

is that in saltwater?

[ktomek06]

Yep!

[rsuriyop]

do people actually eat those things?

[ktomek06]

Actually yes. Supposedly some people love them.

I just booked a guy from Missouri that fishes for gar exclusively for the meat.

use a pair of long pliers and make sure no ones hands are in its mouth

"The genus name Lepisosteus comes from the Greek lepis meaning "scale" and osteon meaning "bone"."

Sure buddy, their genus name has the Greek meaning of bone in it, but they're not boney. You're a regular Steve Irwin over there. Go feed your goldfish and leave the big fish to the big boys.

@ktomek06 gar meat has the texture of chicken, not very flavorful but you do get a lot of meat out of one fish. Very lean as well

[jackwhiteboy]

yea black folks eat them

[nref55]

they are good to eat, although hard to skin, but its like all muscle, the only bony part really is the backbone, but if you skin it right, you'll have two huge stripes of meat that you can fillet or cut into steaks

[00zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz00]
