I saw that title and initially thought it was a Florida Man-type story.
Way to go, Texas!

We have them in Florida as well, but they are really docile.
We had one come up to the boat one time and looked like he was begging for food. You could actually reach down and pet the thing...........

"Aww. It got that big so it lived long, let it go !"
The last line of the article says they let it go.

Not an alligator gar, but a big fish story.
Back in the 60s when I was still little, my family was at Lake of the Ozarks, in central Missouri, where we vacationed a lot.
One morning, while standing on the dock of the resort a john boat pulled up with 2 fisherman in it. A channel catfish was tied along side. It was too big to get in the boat. The boat was probably around 12 foot.
They caught it on a trotline by the Bagnell Dam.

After weighing the large fish, Weston and Kirkland released their catch back into the water.

That Gar release was my favorite part of the story.
It’s not needed for food or for science, so let it keep going.
To: Red Badger
Not channels, they don’t get that big. Blues and flatheads now that’s a different story.
