Nice gar Pat, good luck with getting him off live food. My gar used to only eat minnows but now he loves freeze dried shrimp, cichlid pellets, crickets and the occasional convict cichlid.
try raw shrimp or smelt on a feeding stick, this will usually work best after a day or two of fasting the fish as well. any gar will eventually come around, keep us posted and good luck!--
