I'm no biologist (but I'm related to a prominent one, whom I will talk to soon about this), and we eat the gar we keep, and release the ones we don't....but I don't see my group of recreational fisherman even coming close to catching up to the population of alligator gar in the Manchac area. This thread does have me intrigued though, and I know cousin Luke will have some input for me. I'll share his info when I can talk to him.

I would be curious to hear his opinion (and who he is). My expertise is by no means fisheries, although I have studied the alligator gar more than any other fish. They are fascinating to me, and I feel a severely misunderstood species...and not bad table fare either.
