Let me update my spreadsheet...

Divisive and controversial topics of the OB:

Pit bulls
Neck/Head shots
Beans in Chili
Snakes - to kill or not to kill?
Alligator Gar

What else am I missing?


Fat side down
Are these Head/Neck shots within high fenced property?

Ironically, he could call the Game Wardens on a Sportsman's Rights Act violation.
Only if he could difinitively prove that the boaters were purposefully trying to ruin his fishing.

Otherwise, does one legal act take precedence over another? (serious question)

Are other gar species good to eat? Like spotted gar? We have a bunch of those around here that I typically like to catch for fun (rod and reel) and release. But maybe I should try one on the dinner plate.

FWIW- while I've never caught an alligator gar on rod & reel I've caught a bunch of longnose and spotted gar on the fly and they're a lot of fun. Both can be sight-cast too, will eat a fly pretty aggressively, and fight well with lots of jumps.

Well, I know a certain area that we both frequent that is FULL of them at the moment. Got quite a few to eat over the last week but only had the fly stick on one of them.

It can, and then you let the jury decide.

I always heard a little short piece of unraveled nylon rope was the ticket.

Absolutely works but they will eat redfish crack, redfish ritalin, seaducers and spoons as well.

While a gar is admittedly difficult to get through the scales when cleaning - the flesh is quite good for those of you who have not tried.
