Always wanted to keep a 30-40lb and let my friend the chef cook it up.
Where I fished,either too tired to or too big a pain in butt to keep one. Have any pictures of gar on a plate? Friend said he would make Gar balls.

wish I did the meat is surprising how clean it is. That 20-50lb range are the best for eating.... but don't freeze it unless you plan on just making gar balls with um.

Have had long nose and it was great. Would love to try alligator gar someday.

If you get a nice gar between 30-50 pounds, either throw the fillets over charcoal or on a smoker, thats a good eat.

I caught a 20 pounder and fried the fillets whole. Big mistake the meat tasted great but it was very tough to chew. Next time im making thin strips and frying those.
