Seems they could be a good tool to help with large Gizzards...
Be pretty cool bonus fish to land while out fishing too.
Gar in general can be trash fish but I think the true Alligator gar are some what different ............Pretty neat, IMO.
Goofing off is a slang term for engaging in recreation or an idle pastime while obligations of work or society are neglected........... Wikipedia

I think the big plan is to use them to help control the Asian Carp that are taking over the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Seems like they are trading one problem for potentially two. While I would love to fish for these big guys with a bow, I think I will avoid swimming/floating if they ever become common. I tend to enjoy my toes.

I read an article a while back saying the Alligator Gar were native to most of the Mississippi Watershed, but their numbers were depleted a long time ago. I think that stocking the gar is no different than GA DNR stocking shoalies or striped bass, or something of the same nature, to replenish a depleted population.
