ok, will do. they are hard to pic because my camera phone likes to focus on other things but the moving small gar.
the very clear pic of the one from the top is the same gar with the stripe in the group of six, on the left. they all have a strip down there back it is just faint. depending on the light and angle the stripe is clearly visible or not at all in pics.
Hey Scott...great to finally see this thread.
Very exciting that you managed to find gar this small - seems like this has been your lucky year for collecting fish.
1. My name is on some of these.
2. Lets grow these bad boys up so I can do some DNA testing for you and we can know for sure!

hey forrest,
i still keep on looking at them in disbelief. i keep playing that scene in my head of turning to find the spot to pee and seeing in the dark the little fish jump from my feet. only to turn the light on and see a gar. it was nuts. all the years of fishing like this and looking at every minnow that jumps hoping and then it just happened. crazy.
i am hoping to find some more. the river came up to high and now were i was is about hip deep and a faster current so i think the gars wont be there. it should be dropping today so i may check so of the grasses that are shallow covered for more, but it is super hard to find sticks among sticks.

I'm pretty interested in this now as I'm in the twin cities area too. If you don't mind can you pm me the area in which you got the frys from? My 9 inch gar jumped out of his tank while I was out of town so I'm on the lookout for a couple gars.
i can't tell you were i got them for several reasons, sorry. i can tell you that forest lake, and tropaquatics have floridas in stock right now.
