absolutely ridiculous in both statements. gator gars don't intentionally attack humans (this has been demonstrated on several accounts - Madding referenced the river monsters episode; some of us have also seen this in person with big gators) AND the removal of the fish for others to grow is almost equally as ludicrous. not going to waste more time on that response, but it was entertaining.jlnguyen74;4895463; said:A fish that size is a potential danger/hazard to the public! It lives long enough to reach that size.. It must go for other fish in that lake to grow
i think those of us in the gar forum enjoying seeing new news about gars reGARdless of the form...fish hobby, scientific research, fishing, etc. i think we take pride in being fans of some of the largest freshwater fishes, so hearing about big specimens is of interest no matter what the source. i can see how a fishing thread may upset people in the minnow/cichlid/tetra forums though --Oscarum monstruoso;4895549; said:How do gar keepers feel about fishing threads posted here? Im of the opinion that fishing is the opposite of fishkeeping and belongs on the fishing forum.
