    Hey Spencer, best way I’ve found to deal with long nose and short nose gar is to wear a decently thick leather glove. Think like farm/fence leather glove. Grab them firmly by the beak and you will have great control of them, I’ve never had one make it through the glove, even the $5 harbor freight gloves. Keep up the good work!

I'm just like ya when it comes to storms. Minor ones not a problem, but when the lightening and Thunder and wind really whip,I don't like that. I went through a Cyclone many years ago in a tent and we barely escaped being blown into the Lake. Once is enough for that. Thanks for taking me along. Stay safe and God bless you and yours. 😊😊😊😊

    With Chris's background id say he's one of the most mellowest dudes with a temper you know🤯. Glad he got one some fish. Any river that has gar that size seems to have healthy catfish as well. Weird correlation. Theres alot more of em big like that than people think cus they're hard to catch. When they're spawning a peice of cotton mope on big jig head will catch em cus it tangles in their teeth. Nice river and fish. They're still in down here. Seen a couple fifties this week.

    Bullgoy is great with unstared rice. That is how Koreans cook it up. Un under stared rice if you have to use chopsticks and it tastes better.
