I'm not fishing... but typically they clean and cook the fish at the bar and donate the money to charity. Fried fish and gar balls...

They're kinda fun to fish for and the big ones are a hell of a fight. It's a challenge for sure with rod and reel and hook. I keep pretty much nothing so I'm in it for the fight.

We used to chill them then cut steaks wit a butcher boy saw then throw on the pit. Talk about good bar-b-qued. Been years since I've eaten any though.
