Alligator Gar on the Fly!

Went looking for Bass and Gills but caught this instead. I love the camo on these fish!Attachment 10987Attachment 10988

I've never seen one although I hear we have them around here

Cool!!!!!!!!

That had to be fun.

Are they relatively docile when you land them? The Florida Gar we get down here twist themselves up in the leader and make a mess...

Nice fish, by the way!

That looks like fun!

I bet that was a fun fight! I've tangled with 5' long Long-Nosed Gar on catfish gear, and have a nice time with those.

This one was pretty laid back. Just kinda slid him up onto the bank. When I started to pick him up then he started twisting. I've caught Bowfin on the fly and they really put up a good fight!
