I went out the other night (a week ago +/-) throwing my cast net to catch some talapia for eating in the Nueces River here in South Texas. We've been going through an extreme drought and most of the river is dried up. There are several small holes that contain lots of fish. I hit one of them the other night and I bet I pulled out 40 spotted gar, about 8 long-nose and maybe one alligator gar. The spotted gar ran from 6 inches to 16 inches so I kept a 13 incher for my 110 g aquarium pictured here:
He's eating well already. It's a shame that all those other gar are going to die. There were some very cool looking ones in there. If we don't get rain, they'll all be dead in about a month or less.
There are lots of TX cichlids, sunfish, bass, tetras and other stuff that are gonna bite the dust too. Oh well, so goes nature. I wish I had more room for more gar. Heck this 110g is gonna be cramped here pretty quick.
