If spotted gar and paddle fish can be feed trained why not AG? It would be interesting to try it.

The AG are already feed trained to my understanding. Pellets used are 3/8" so biggish.

I've lived in Arkansas now for 30 years I have fished a lot of it's waters and Gar have always been considered basically a nuisance trash fish. I've caught some in the 4 foot range in a few oxbows in the Arkansas river and talk about tear up your bait... if you can get it back that is. They don't fight nothing like Muskies they are stiff as a pencil and boney as can be and might give you 1 or 2 good baby runs and that's about it of course that's just the reg long nosed gar. A Muskie is in a whole different class IMO. I don't know that they AG would even go after a GBH it might but just because it has Alligator in it's name doesn't mean it acts like one...lol

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

AG are an awesome fish just to see swimming around. Not good for fishing, not bad for anything either, they are just an unusual part of the ecosystem.
Cross between a minnow and a T-Rex. Used to be common, but they have been wiped out by folks who "hate 'em". I hope we get them back in our Texas watersheds.
