exactly he is so proud to praise the great gar but has no problem hooking them, stressing them out, and then posing for pictures with them unable to breathe out of the water just for his pleasure

you troll this hard and dont know gar have a primitive lung capable of breathing out of the water?

They are dang good to eat. Y'all ain't ever had gar balls?

How did they get the trash fish stigma? They have always been table fare for me.

Did not know they could breath air. Never studied them and wasn't trolling. Just an observation of the experiment. I will stand by the fish just being caught with a hook and reeled in laying on the bank and held by a human was stressed out so the experiment was flawed. Jmo

He may not of known that Flower, and that's ok. What isn't OK is for you to come on here like you did and bash bowfisherman. You did, and pretty heavy at times. Then you get butt hurt when you hear things you don't like. You created your own monster with your drama. You made your bed, sleep in it. You act like everyone is out to kill and waste the alligator gar up until the point of their extinction. You like to catch and release gar, some like to eat them, some do waste them but no different than they do with gasper goo or carp. I respect your passion, but your passion doesn't give you the right to tell others how to act. Chill. The alligator gar was here before us, and they will be here after us. Most people don't care about them either way, they will be fine. I think they are cool as chit, but If I wanna shoot one or 5 for the table that's my business.

wow!

Flower loves Alligator Gar, that's cool. I'm a fisherman too. It's the preaching that gets old to some, just sayin'. I personally like to eat alligator gar and find them fun to shoot with a bow. I have a buddy from S Louisiana that makes a good little chunk of money every year filling boats with them/cleaning them & selling to restaurants/fish markets. There is no shortage of them. I agree, they are really cool. I've had some close encounters with some pretty big gar fish that I will always remember. No, they are not aggressive for the most part and are definitely prehistoric. :

Yep. This is almost as good as the bunker...

all i did was get clarification from TPWD on dumping and burying fish. its already illegal, to do so makes you a poacher.
there really isnt anything to argue from there. dont dump your fish, dont bury your fish im not the one telling you not to TPWD is.
If you are aware its illegal and do it anyway you are a poacher stealing form all of us me, you, our children and their children.

Lots of folks here share his interest just maybe not to the extreme he does
