August 6-7 / Alligator Gar

Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula).  The largest freshwater fish in Texas, and one of the most primitive.

In August we will make our first *serious* attempt at catching one.

Fishing a murky river, for fish that can make 8 ft, and over 300 lbs, with a mouth full of teeth and a bad attitude?  That doesn't seem out of the norm.  What do we need to make it just a little more interesting?

Kayaks.

That should do it.
