crazyice Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Keep in mind it is also held out about three feet from my body. That thing had to be as big as a trash can cover, maybe 20 or so lbs. To make matters worse, that ended up being the first of 5 that size that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm95 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The turtle bite was on this afternoon also two in the boat. Gar are always fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyice Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 How are you guys catching the gar? We have never had much luck with them, the only ones I have seen come to the boat were either snagged by mistake, or netted by a keen eyed man with a fast arm.
