Though it's been a little later spring than I'd hoped for we did manage to find that magic window of conditions that we are looking for...

My buddy Grant and I were giggling like school girls when we did the math, two 53's a 52 and a 51 incher. 2 hours fishing, 4 good casts and 209 inches of Gar....all sight fished on new favorite Gar bait. Jackall Cherry 0 footer. Quality hooks right outta the package!

Grant's new PB.







This last one was a pig, it looked like it ate a cormorant. 21 inch girth and the heaviest gar I've ever caught. Tipped the digital scale well over 22 lbs.



A few more pics of this wild couple hours fishin are here: http://www.rjnbirdeesoutdooradventures.ca/?p=1227

As a sidenote, some of you may remember Muskiemagnet. Pat has accepted a couple of guiding gig up north for the summer. Awesome experience for him as he'll be spending some time in the Kenora area then up to NWT. A going away party was put together for friends last week and despite nearly getting eaten alive by blackflies it went well. Here's to a safe journey for him and can't wait to hear the tales upon his return.

Nice pics RJ....I love fishing for gar but I really find them tough to catch....gotta practice my casts more.

Hey RJ:
What a beauty day you must of had awesome pics and thanks for sharing ......Garrrrrrr Billy!!

Just awesome RJ!

That's some nice Gar!

What is it you like most of the Jackall Cherry Crankbait Zero Footer? The action?

Have you tried any other shallow lures (Rapala subwalk for example)?

I really need to get my first Gar this year. sigh...

sweet fish, looks like you had a great time!

tight lines!

Love the pics... They're GARrrrrrrreat! Awesome stuff guys!

That looks like you guys had one hell of a day!! Congrats

Beauty fish, Gar master! Oh also saw your pics made an appearance on Uncut Angling the other day.

Wow RJ,
I am in Aw. Is it just me or does that species actual have nostrils? where I fish I see lots of juvenile gar, so that means papa and momma must be around. May have to take a crack at trying to bring one in the boat.
Nice job!
