Justin Snyder:
Looks like a good time. You got a few bow backs there too. Justin
Pat B:
sure looks like fun. Sorry I missed it...and catfish fillets too? :o Looks like some nice bow skins there!
El Destructo:
Did you Guys eat the Gar??? I like Gar when it's cooked right...sorta like Walleye....Looks like you had a Blast...wish I was there....and tell Chris it's nice to see that He does own a pair of Real Britches.......... >:D
Hillbilly:
Pat- I should have guessed that you like CATfish....;D Those gar skins would look good on a bow, but they're just too thick and stiff to work, I think. It's a shame too, because the biggest one was almost four feet long. I skinned a couple (with tin snips and a hacksaw) and the skin is literally like a sheet of tin. We bounced arrows off of several that weren't hit straight-on-they have some serious armor, and the scales are an integral part of the skin and won't come off like they do on other fish; you'd have to snip each one off with tin snips. Might make good arm guards or handle wraps though-I'll have to see what I can come up with from my skins. Those scales are razor sharp, too. When they're mad, they flare them out and start whacking at you with their tail. I dropped one in the bottom of the boat, and while I was watching out for the teeth, (it bit me on the knee anyway :) ) it slapped my foot with its tail and laid the side of my foot open like you had hit it with a stick with a handful of razor blades glued to it. Haven't tried eating any of them yet, but the backstrap meat looks really good-more like snake or something than fish. I've heard that it tastes like lobster.
