Gar fishing and eating


Recommended Posts

My wife , me and our little girl went riding around and ended up at Reelfoot Lake. We walked through the Cypress trees on the baord walk. We saw a bunch of Gar. One was solid black and very thick . They were rolling around all over the water. Then we went across a low bridge that people fish off of. I swear there were easily 15 gar fish where people caught them and just threw them onto the asphalt to rot. What a waste.

Proof that we have become far too well fed and ill advised as a nation. I remember seeing a guy catch a 2 foot long shark when we were deep sea fishing. He pulled it up to the deck, cut off its fins and threw it and fins back in the water. Even as a kid I just thought how stupid that was. He made some comment about it not eating up all the fish he wanted to catch. Idiot. I hear shark is decent eating, though I have never had a chance to try it. We never had Gar anywhere we fished. Even if we caught something like knotties or carp that we were not after, we just tossed them back. We only did catch and release or catch and eat in my family. Then again, we come from a poor background and wasting anything was frowned upon.
