Rarrgh! 😊 This is such an underrated fish in my opinion. This fish has been around for over 200 million years and they are so fun to catch. I spotted this Gar on the edge of the pond—so I threw my Yo-zuri bone popper—-on top of him and he followed it—paused….and then he struck it. He was about 27 inches and about 5-6 LBS. I was using my PENN pursuit 2500 and my Abu Garcia 6’ EZ cast. Such a fun fish to catch! 🎣

My second ever alligator gar—-that I have actually reeled in. And my first one using my new Penn Battle IV combo— using a Yozuri 3D crystal minnow! This one was able to swim off fine, however he was hooked in the eye. I hate when things like this happen—But still a good fighting fish. 😔 🎣
