I caught my first GAR!!!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I caught my first GAR!!!!

Post by AngryBeaver71 »

Holy Moley! :shock:

Becks and I went out for a quick evening fish from Petrie, and Fishy TV showed some action about 150 feet from the shore line up just a little ways up along hwy 17 just before the cottages before the quigley hill launch... so we thought for fun we would cast out. I had a silver blue deep runner, which I affectionately call ice blue goombah, because I have no idea of the proper name for this lure! :oops:

Anyways, I cast out, in 15ft of water and hit the lure almost immediately. :D

I didn't know what I had on the line at first, figured maybe a pike, or by the grace of the fishing goddesses, a bass. :)

In fact I dreaded catching one of these fish because, they are ugly mean looking things. Sure enough he launched up in the air and I see I have caught a GAR PIKE!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

So imagine the hilarity that ensued. Two women, an ugly, wild acting fish and can't find the fishing glove!! :roll: :oops:

Anyways, he was about 3.5 feet long tip to tail and weighed about 3lbs... Of course, no pic :x

But it was exciting nonetheless!! I finally caught something in my new boat! Those things are crazy!!!

Just thought I would share... hopefully next time we will remember the damn camera!!!
