On second thought, you understand that I do not do Alligator Gar, they are too big, strong tasting , and bony to be good.
They also stink.
Now Needlenose gar, are OK if fixed right.
But they really fight.

I like it. Looks like someone else likes crushed red pepper.

I have read articles on fly fishing for Tiger fish on the Congo River. I think it would be fun, in Kevlar waders of course.

<No noodling for that one.
The first time I saw noodling (I think on ‘Dirty Jobs’), I was dumbfounded. All I could was think, “Hell, no.” The noodlers looked like they were having fun, tho.

Sounds fishy to me. Bigger and more savage and that’s ‘evolution’? Where are the hospitals these things have built? If Maslow and Darwin were correct, these things are merely meaner and sadly unactualized... (sniff)

Here is evolution in a way you never thought possible.
This article explains the interesting animal known as the toothpick fish and its interesting response to something as innocuous as relieving yourself under water.

Evolution in Your Face
by Patrick Huyghe
Omni
Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, is home to more than 300 species of cichlids. These fish, which are popular in aquariums, are deep-bodied and have one nostril, rather than the usual two, on each side of the head. Seismic profiles and cores of the lake taken by a team headed by Thomas C. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, reveal that the lake dried up completely about 12,400 years ago. This means that the rate of speciation of cichlid fishes has been extremely rapid: something on average of one new species every 40 years!
