$%^#$^!!! fly fishers.

that would make fred flintstone a mighty fine comb

I think I would wear gloves too...big set of chompers on that fish! Nice CATCH!!!

I expect that he disagreed with your itinerary in the strongest terms.

Where were you Dave, perhaps Lewisville?

Lets see the fly?

How did he fight?

Dave likes all kinds of trash fish.

i think that piece o' rope in snout is the fly, i recall him saying it weighed 13 lbs & fought rather well.

Was rope yeah, but what you see in the pic is just lint, the rope was about 7" long and 1/4" thick, wet it weighed about as much as the fish, and the fish doubled over an 8 weight, had another earlier that was bigger doubled over a 10 weight, strong too.

Do they call them Gar because when they smash those teeth through your thumb and forefinger you scream, "gaaaaaarrrrrrrr!!!"?

Wow Dave, that's an awesome catch!!! SWEEET!!!

I am a NOOb to Gar, If you get one of those critters on, how do you grab or hold them if you don't have a net to get it out of the waterand get your hook OUT. I suppose a lip lift would not be good, better to cut your line.

Looks like you threw away another state record Dave. The state fly fishing record for longnose gar is 4.54#. If I recall correctly you ate the last could-have-been state record yellow bass you caught.

Yesterday Christian and I were fishing at Lavon and we saw a bunch of carp and buffalo surfacing. I told Christian that I was going to go to Grapevine and beat your lake record carp over there! You would have a heart attack if I did that!!!!!
