Alligator gar versus ELB

<< < (3/5) > >>

Kegan:
Anoyone see Hill's video where he, Ben Pearson, and some others shoot alligator gar?

sailordad:
i think a sturgoen would be tuffer toi get on bow gear than that gar would be.
for one you rarly ever see sturgoen close enough to the sirface to hit with a bow.
and if you did stick one it would probably take several people to drag it in.they are like trying to pull in a boulder.
the just sit on the bottom and dont moveunless they want to.

mullet:
  We bowfish them quite a bit during the summer, but they don't get that big. We also have the smaller spotted gar. As tough as they look, it's not hard to put an arrow through them, and they are quite tasty if you like lobster.

cowboy:
I've seen some six footers below PK dam in the Brazos. shot a four footer with bow but hit him behind the dorsal - that was a purty good fight :).

Curtis Keller bow fishes for them in Texas and I'm trying to figure out a set up that could handle a fish like that. Is there a story that goes along with that pic?

Yeah this fish was taken in Ohio and gator gar became extinct there I think.
