Gar Bite! This Is Why We Wear Gloves!!!
Check out this video of Tuesdays Longnose Gar Fishing trip with my daughter Shelley. If you think a Gar won't intentionally bite you, take a look at this! This one struck me like a rattlesnake.

Hey Gar-Grabber,
Am I mistaken or are you using a piece of rope with no hooks in it for a lure ? Does the fish's teeth get tangled in the strands and it comes to the boat like that ? |

That's right, I use a homemade strayed nylon rope lure made from good quality nylon rope, a split rig and a zip tie. They are very easy to make and disposable. I only re-use the split rig.

We caught one in a castnet last year trying to catch some bait for a tournament. We ended up with a lot of extra weights to fish with by the time he got done with it.
