No, those were babies, and I have no idea what the reporter was talking about that they are in a fight for their lives. That one fish is in every body of water in La., they are hardly in danger.

Re: Alligator Gar in Louisiana - Behemoths!

Louis,
I remember as a kid growing up near the Ohio River hearing people say that they will attack you and could bite your hand off.
The show was trying to point out that they aren't aggressive toward people...even as gentle giants which are not a threat at all to the local fishery.
What do you think?

Hey David,

My buddy Papa Smurf is driving in to Panama City Saturday, he's staying on Thomas Dr. at the Watercrest. Maybe you 2 can get some offshore action.

Re: Alligator Gar in Louisiana - Behemoths!

We could have showed them how to properly tag and release em.

Shoot in the tail, weigh em and throw em back.
