Huge Longnose Gar !

Fished for catfish again last night with Kyle at Mullet Lake Park boat dock. We didn't catch Mr Whiskers but I did reel in a large longnose gar, which weighed at 8 lb 12 oz. It bit down a piece of cut bluegill and had the 3-way rig tangled around his long nose. Sorry for not taking a picture but we kind of had our hands full releasing this beast. The sharp teeth on these fish can put someone in the hospital if your not careful.

Rig: 3-way rig
Bait: cut bluegill
Tackle: 1 oz bank sinker, 4/0 circle hook

Bowfin - 3 lb - Mullet Lake Park

Another night trip to Mullet Lake Park fishing for catfish. I had Kyle and Tara with me this time. Tara was very busy pulling bluegills out of the water, so there wasn't a lack of baitfish. Me and Kyle were using cut bluegills as bait for our catfishing rods. Using a 3-way rig and circle hooks, we casted out and waited. We were about to call it a night, then around 1:30 AM I hooked this 3 lb Bowfin.
