What could I say Louisiana not only have phenominal offshore fishing but it also has awesome inshore fishing for a specie of a different kind Alligator gar. Venture out to Cajun land and behold toothy monsters.
Im out here in cajun land (Louisiana) for a month and on the hunt for some Alligator Gar I drove aroud the city scoping out new spots and happen to stumble upon a Canal in which noone fishes and is loaded with moster Gar Fish. These guys are no joke to catch It take about 10 hookups to land 1 and about 15-20 bites. The problem is not only hooking them since they have a jaw full of un penetrable bone and teeth the size of Crocodile teeth. Well I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking...
This monster was 5ft 10'' I hooked bigger ones but they shook the hook. As soon as they get to the shore my buddies always try to high tail and run up the bank since they look like a gator. Im am searching for that 7-8footer see you guys soon.

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
Back to you guys again from Cajun Land,
Last week I caught a couple more and there was a weather change so the Gar went on Lockjaw. I have not been out for these suckers since last Thursday since the cold front, rain, wind, and more wind. Went to my original spot it was kinda slow I saw a local that lives down the street from the spot who is pretty much the only other person that fishes the spot. I asked him if he want to go explore with me so off we went to another spot I been eying. We cast out our gar rod and I proceeded to work my way down the Canal fishing for largemouth bass about 5 to 10 min into it I get hammered on my little 3 inch suspending Jerkbait. Started the battle with this sucker it pulled like crazy in it went, then out, in then stripping line down the bank so I kept walking down the bank following it. I yelled over to the local named Michael get the stick with the nuse! He comes running down the bank 15 min later and about 50 yards down the bank from where I originally started I put the nuse around his neck and dragged the sucker on the shore.
Largest fish I ever landed on a bass rod 5' 101/2'', weighed in right about 100lbs, on a Curado 300 DHSV, suffix 50lb braid, 20lb Stren Magnaflex mono, and a yozuri jerk bait.
All I got to say is Heck Yea!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the 7ft one I am hunting for but on my Curado!!! Man!
Gotta also thank my uncle for giving me all the pointers on catching these monster gars and accommodating me on my stay here in Louisiana.
Where ever you go
Go Big Or Go Home !
