The first two pictures are of a 55" long nose gar. I guess it weighed over 20, but I didn't weigh it so I don't know.

The next pictures are of an alligator gar near 6' long, with a girth of 29.5". I caught both these fish the same afternoon. I am not in the pictures because as usual, I was fishing alone.

Nice fish, you catch some serious hawgs out there!

How's the gar fishing in the cooler months, say in the fall?

Awesome! And I thought the 24 +- incher that snapped at my lure a few feet from me was big.

It was probably 2 years old. That small one that snapped at your bait that is.

That alligator gar is thick. Nice catch. Do you throw them back or exterminate them?
