A little blurry, that's the last time I let a passerby take a photo! Was 20lb even when I caught him so he's grown a bit. Has the same huge hump above his head. Wish I'd gotten both sides to know for sure.

I have never ate gar before but have friends who have. They all say that Gar is very good eating. They say the back strap is the best along with straps of undercut meat. They also say frying them is the best.

I have had my share of blanks there too.

This was my PB common caught late spring - weighed in a little over 20 lbs. Caught in NJ, unfortunately haven't had much opportunity to do any carp'ing since moving out here to Texas in August.

Sweet, what a year for ya Phil! I do fish quite often, and we have a nice mix of species. That being said, wouldn't mind to get back down to Dallas at some point, haven't fished there in nearly 3 years.

Sweet common Phil! Did you get the weight? I would kill for the opportunity to live in an area with the variety of fish that you just posted. Nice pics!
Give a man a fish he can eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend!

Freshwater Phil, that muskie in the float tube is scary!! More of a surprise, I was on a good topwater bite for bass using a PopR, decide to tie on a buzzbait, massive topwater attack on third cast. Musky towed me in circles for a bit, had to land it by hand as I had no net.

We're blessed with some nice ones up here, St Lawrence river probably in top 3 waterways for biggest muskies on the planet. My 2 personal best, both at 52 inches, probably close to 40 lbs each with their massive girths, both came from there.
