Finally, a dream come true!
After hoping to catch a gar for years, I finally caught one tonight. However, as things go sometimes, it wasn't exactly what I expected...
Yeah, about 2 1/2 inches long... but it is a gar, so it counts. One day I'll hopefully find a larger one, but for now, it's a start. I've certainly seen bigger ones, but this was the first one that I ever caught.
WHAT A NIGHT - MY FIRST GAR VLOG!!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-little-gar...but-it-still-counts
Until next time…

All the kids of the world are very cute! Whether it's fish or turtles)).

Take a 12 inch piece of soft nylon rope, and undo the weave for 10 inches. Use the rope for a lure, it tangles in their teeth, and you will have your fish!
They are UGLY beasts, but their mouth does not do hooks well. ENJOY!

It will WORK, LOL! Send me pictures. They can't resist the rope, and once tangled, they can't get away!

Yup, or tie it onto a floating top-water lure. This is how we used to catch them all the time. Regular hooks are hard to get them on, but the rope tangles work almost every time!

One of my cousins and me used to go snagging for Gar years ago. Man, when you snag a big one you are going to know it. They put up one hell of a fight and are not all that fun to actually deal with once on land. Lol. Definitely an adventure.

cogratulation papa-pepper. you have caught although one and a little one. We call sili fish in local name, (Mastacembelidae Eel)
including fish habitat in a river that is becoming endangered. These fish prefer to live on the banks of the river premises muddy river and under the shade of trees because it can not be exposed to direct sunlight.
So, according to my experience when I was child, you will caught the bigger one in a place that is essentially muddy and shaded by trees.
Good luck.

@papa-pepper I don't even know what a GAR is so I had to look it up...................Gars have elongated bodies that are heavily armored with ganoid scales, and fronted by similarly elongated jaws filled with long, sharp teeth. All of the gars are relatively large fish
Except Papa-Peppers dinky

Wow, congratulations. I didn't even know what a gar was but I look it up and they can get really big! Nice little turtles too. Have fun making your pond. I'm sure the little peppers will like that too. Have you looked into the natural swimming pool/ponds?

That is one tiny Gar. I was expecting a fish the size of your arms. This one is much safer.

I have always stood firm on the principle that " a catch is a catch!" Lol. I have buddies in my area that bow fish for them and their results are impressive. I'm going to try to set up a trip with them to check it all out. It's one of the few ways I haven't tried to fish yet.
