Can't have a day without a picture. This is my buddy Jason, from Houma, LA. After Katrina, he lost his regular job, and returned to fishing to make a living. This is an alligator gar. Sort of a prehistoric fish, or a 'gator without the legs. Jason would fill his boat with these monsters, some over 200 lbs, (this one was about 150) and sell filets to the local restaurants, some of whom would sell it as alligator and some as fish. A good night's fishing would bring in over $1500. He gave me some filets. Not bad....
