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?

He is probably going to eat it. Hate when people bitch about somebody taking a big fish

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.

“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.”

Makes for one hell of a picture and story
I wonder what a big gar steak in the smoker would taste like
