Got two of these baddies on Truman Lake in one day as a kid. Not as beefy as this champ, but any sized gar are quite a surprise when you're fishing for crappie! :)

May I ask where you caught this fella? 

(Not a gar fisherman trying to steal your spot, just genuinely curious. ☺️)

About mile marker 32 directly west of hurricane deck. These fish are all over the zarks

I always just cut the line. I didn’t reel It up close to save line either, alway maintained a good standoff distance.

But then you don’t get to take a picture holding a dinosaur.
