alligator gar

although this happened five years ago, somebody sent me this photo today. two bow fisherman in texas bagged (?) this 8'-2", 244-lb alligator gar on sam rayburn lake. yowsa! The current world record for the largest Alligator Gar caught on rod and reel is 279 lb. The largest taken by bowfishing is 365 lb.

here is a photo from 1910 of a 10-foot long one.

apparently, people do eat this prehistoric beast.

fishing from a jetski

last night i did a post on tog caught from a jetski . nice photos, but later i began to think about this: where did he store the fish? how was this jet ski rigged? who was this guy? so, i checked jetski brian out. he came up with a truly custom pwc that can do most any fishing duty.
read his interesting story here.
