Haha back in my junior year of highschool I had a dream to go catch me a big gator gar down south in the trinity so my uncle who lives in Texas decided to fly me over for spring break for a entire week of fishing. Man in That one week I caught a lot of things lmb, white bass, stripers, whipers, sheep head, crappy, catfish, but no gar. The week was over and I still hadn't caught a gar I was pretty upset, so 1 in the morning of my last day we decided to hit up a spot that branched off the trinity just for one last attempt. We were there for hours and my plane scheduled to leave at 8 am so we gave ourselves a 5 am time limit. It was 4:45 I was done I was about to give up but behold at the last second my pole shot forward only to be stopped by some chicken wire on the shore. I ran, grabbed my pole and pulled in the beast.I was so pumped up with adrenaline I dont even remember how it fought I just knew was big and heavy. Got it to shore but it was stuck on a ledge so I had to climb down and laso it up with a rope....I can't lasso if my life depended on it. So I decided to wrap my arms in my sweater and pick it up. It was a gar. Don't know the species, not a gator gar but a gar none the less. Most exciting catch of a cali boys life lol.
