Brandon Saucier, 22, of Gheens, with the 8-foot, 215-pound alligator gar he shot early Sunday morning near Lake Boudreaux in Terrebonne Parish. The fish will not be a new state record because it was taken while bow-fishing and was not certified.

I've never seen a large one in the wild. Can you eat them?

Not saying I've seen one that big, but I've seen them large like that fairly often while bowfishing. I've had them rock the boat while swimming under it. They can be massive.

Completely agree!! You know, if they'd take a couple minutes and read the damn article then they might catch the part where it clearly says
quote:

“We didn’t want to lose the meat, so instead of just wasting the fish, we cleaned it and kept the head so I could have some biologists at Nicholls look at the inner ear to get aged.”
but where's the fun in that....

Congrats to your brother!
