Was fishing the ottawa up river from britannia bay.
Wading out at the standing reed edge.
First hour or so, I got 2 smallish pike and 3 sunfish.
Hour 2 is nothing for the first half. Change lure to a bigger diver, 3 casts and I think I'm into a nice pike....NOPE.... thank god for braid cause this thing was so tangled in line after getting it in, I had to cut it off.
7lb 14oz. 27in.
Fun fish...any idea if they are edible? Not that I'm into one, but they dont look great for the fryer
First Gar!!

Very nice catch! Those fish are very interesting indeed!!!
So prehistoric looking.......Next time bring a camera so we can see the beast up close
I believe they are "edible" but their eggs are rumoured to be poisonous or something.....and can kill a human being..so i'm not sure if it would be wise to eat one haha....
They are probably extremely bony and taste similar to pike or Musky but that is just a guess.....
Take Care!
