Thanks guys, yeah sadly our trip cut short at 5am, didnt get to fish the morning bite like i was expecting. around 9pm that night i caught a blue cat and a gar. threw them on the fire to cook. (first time having gar meat, pretty good) the gar had eggs and a friend and i had some of it. they ended up being pretty darn toxic. at around 4am, we started throwing up like crazy. lesson learned, Gar caviar is a big no no.

Wow, never heard they were toxic. info from a quick google search:

when I was searching for the toxin in gar eggs responsible for the severe illness my son and I encountered after consuming them. I caught and cleaned a 2' long gar in Laplace, LA My filipino mother in law who is visiting cooked them. My son had 2-4 spoonfuls mixed with rice, I had 1/2 a plate or so at about 9pm. At about 3am, I awoke to my som vomiting in the bed. We cleaned him up, and 5 min later again and again for about an hour or so followed by dry heaving. After all was "out" of him, he went to sleep. I awoke at 7am with a slight stomach ache, ran to the bathroom, where I did not leave until 10:30am, violently vomiting, severe diarrhea, sweating profusely, cold, followed by so much dry heaving I thought something would implode. At about 10;30 or so, exhausted and semi dillusional, I staggered to my bed covered in sweat, laying there freezing and... the only way I can explain it... hallucinating. In my sleep until 3pm that evening, I had just crazy dreams. I awoke at 3pm feeling a lot better, but still kind of "off". Here I am the day afterward, and I still don't feel 100%...I just feel weird, is the only way I can put it. My little boy is OK though compaining a little that his stomach felt "different". It was one of the worst sicknesses I've had. I read on this post that it might be a "old wives tale", but this needs to be put to rest. The eggs of garfish are extremely toxic and should never be consumed by anyone! I can speak from experience. The toxin is called gar ichthyootoxin
