I think they shot that in Texas. It is posted on their site that GoGop posted above.

man now that is a fish
what the heck do you do with a gar after you get it in the boat?

feed it to the *****?

Yep that monster was shot last year at lake Rayburn in Texas and is the current lake record from what I'm told. Keith and Robin are good people and full of usefull bowfishin' info.

As far as where to find the gar, look in the water . Just kiddin', sorta. Hard to find them during the day right now but last year about this time at night after a sunny day we've seen em on the mud flats at/in the mouths of the creeks on BS. Haven't been this year yet so can't really tell ya.

that sucker would go to the taxidemist if i shot it. money is not an object to me if i could mount that fish over my fireplace! my neighbors probably gonna take me on truman when the weather get better and show me the places. ill be packing my bow too. thanks. i hope to arrow one this year.

According to Keith they eat the gar. I have had it deep fried and would not have known it was gar unless they told me.

Bet that one wouldnt be too good to eat.

What a heckuva mount it would make though!!

Any good piece of backwater should be holding some gar....also below dams, have seen some good 4 footers or so below Truman and Pomme both...Have also shot em in slough holes off the Mo river...

if you wanna shoot a gar, then hit a tributary to a good sized river in the dead heat of summer.

the slack water that fireman described is the best because the gar will cruise right under the surface and come up to gulp air.

just arrowing a gar is a challenge ie make sure you have some pretty sharp tips on your arrows!
