I didn't realize people ate them!!! I picture tough meat with extreme fishy taste?

gar meat is sweet and not tough at all . we roll them up like meat balls dip in batter and fry away

i think that gar was shot in the tinity river by the way

Wow, thats amazing, too bad its gone now though, probably not many left that size.

I live in a country where all fish are considered sport fish, only for catch and release.
Especially all carp. Killing a carp after catching it could give you big trouble with other fishermen.
I would not enjoy catching a big fish if i could not return it into the water.
Only fish killed to eat over here is trout, and that's in ponds...

If you where to really describe it.. Gar tastes much like somewhat fishy pork or Crabmeat really. It is really tasty stuff.

The best way to protect these animals is to have a fishery for them that is managed. These individuals have actually supported that. Before you get your panties in a bunch remember that.

definitely agree.--

yep. as much as i dont like it, some states have finally began protecting gar for this reason. so it can be used as a game fish.
