When we are Lake Ten Killer, they do the same.
They just sidle up next to the boat “Hey Fellas...”
My Rapala’s are protected species too...
The ones here just basically ignore lures. You can drop your line right in front of them and they just look at it and swim away............
I have a picture of my Dad standing next to an alligator gar that he caught on the Red River near Texarkana back in the early 50s. It was at least an inch longer than his 6’3” in height. All I can say is that we lived with the gars then, we can live with them, belly full of invasive asian carp, now!
Tiger Muskies. Problem is with them and Muskies, they will attack humans. Dogs, cats, ducks.
In the immortal words of Richard Dreyfus' character, Hooper, "You are going to need a bigger boat!"
Declare them a sports fish as they did back in the 1950s White River in Arkansas. Depleted them real quick.
I can see it now...GARSHARK SNAKEHEAD! Genetically modified gar-shark-snakehead escapes and eats dum bass college teens on a float trip in the back woods...Teens spend all their time fighting each other to see who is the Alpha Male rather than fight the garshark-snakehead.
I saw a bunch of them dead downstream after Keystone Dam closed the gates a few years back.

I was at the boat ramp on Tenkiller a few years ago and saw a tied rope in the water. Thought I would see what was on the end of it.
I pulled and out of the water popped the biggest catfish head I had EVER seen. I might have done something else in my pants if it had been an alligator gar.
They never hurt the bluegill and bream population in Illinois, we had plenty of gar downstate... and plenty of good sportsfish. The indians would also use smaller gar skin to make quivers for their arrows. It makes a cool-looking quiver and dries hard as a rock.
Best tasting fish I ever had was called trash by many - it’s called the “buffalo.” Everyone told me it wouldn’t be any good but I took it home and fried it up, figuring that if it was as bad as everyone said it would be I could give it to the cats. But it was clean and delicious... so I gave the crappie we caught to the cats instead.
Not getting your hand cut up by sharp teeth is reason enough perhaps, especially for something so low on the totem pole as a fish.
Was fishing at a pond in Hulbert, OK and caught three Large Mouth Bass. Nice ones.
Got late in the day so pulled my string of fish and went to another pond with shade.
dropped my dead fish in the water to keep them fresh and went to the other side of the pond. Was casting and thought my “dead fish” were actually alive. It looked like they were flopping around from my view point.
Wasn’t getting any hits and it was late in the day. Three 5-7 pounders is a pretty good day.
Walked over grabbed hold of the string and pulled up fish lips. Terrapins got ‘em.
I was screaming and yelling, throwing rocks in the pond. Damn turtles!
My great day ended up sucking.
Looking back it is pretty funny. I’d still kill the turtle that robbed me though.
Bow fishing for Asian carp....not your average bow fishing
