good thing he killed it =   

i wonder how old it is,ive never seen one that big

Wow.  Crazy. 

it HAD to be texas.  Somehow I like the idea that the guy didn't care too much about the record.

 wondering about crossing something like that when spearfishing..

What I want to know is, how does it taste?

Peace!

There's no way that thing tastes good (or that guy has enough freezer to store it)... What a waste of life...

"Hey y'all!!! Look what I shot!"

Hanging out w/my distant cousin from TX last wknd...we were talking about fishing--he's not really into fishing. But he was real proud of the alligator gar he ran down w/a jetski. Still had pics of it on his phone--looked about 5ft long (he said 8ft lol). But I just couldn't get over how he kept saying "It tasted so bad. Next time I run one over I'm just gonna leave it there...those stupid things taste like sh!t"

did a quick google of alligator gar recipes and apparently some folks like it.

Pat maybe your cousin ate the part that took the impact of his jetski 

I used to catch them in Texas but not that big.  The meat is not too bad if you know how to cook it but the skin/scales are very tough!

Scary big.

Something about killing the old big ones seems to bother me these days.

On the other hand
