Great article, and some truly amazing fish.  Alligator gar look like one of those fish that'll straight f*** you up if you dare cross them.

That dude is chasing the dream, and those fish look chock-full of piss and vinegar.  :smt007

Used to have to use steel leaders when I fished the Comal and Lampasas Rivers when I was stationed at Hood in the 80's. Couldn't keep the things off bass plugs, and locals treated them like "trash" fish.

Saw lots of light spinning rigs get trashed by these critters. Most of the time, just packed up and either went home, or moved to a different river to get away from them.
Why so many typos ? You try typing on 6 mm virtual keys with 26 mm thumbs...

I have never caught them from a kayak or quite that big, but they are tough critters.  We would nail them to a tree and use tin snips to get through the skin to filet it. They make great fried fish nuggets
