Me too, I really hate seeing amazing animals like this being killed. :( The 'gator gar in the two pics that I posted was released, though... I was talking to the guy that caught it. :)

There was an alligator gar fishing article in a recent F&S mag. It said alligator gar populations are really going down. It said many ppl think of them as pests and will kill them if possible. Some ppl will shoot them if they see them come to the surface! I think that was about all gar not just alligator... :(

Yeah, they're considered trash fish, and morons nation-wide kill them off. Such a shame... :(
