I can't answer your question TEXAS715, but I got some advice from a University of Florida professor who recommended using Gars in my WM pond. He thought that they would help keep the WM numbers to a reasonable level without taking over the pond. He mentioned certain types of Gar that don't get too large, and said they wouldn't prey on large fish.
I just wonder if having Gar in your pond is a bad thing. Could they represent an alternative to (stunted) LMB for a trophy bream pond? I don't know what you manage for T175, but maybe the Gar are actually helping you.
I'm looking forward to reading about peoples experiences and opinions about Gars. Also, what's the abbreviation for Gar? G?
