One Big UGLY Fish

[Steven Harris]

Didn't even know such creatures existed in the U.S.

I would not want this thing nibbling on me IF I was to go swimming.

I find it interesting every time an avid hunter fisherman etc. finds a unique , prehistoric whatever decides to Process the specimen before anyone can validate its existence.

Looks like a big ole alligator gar to me, nothing special, and absolutely nothing to mess with

copy from the article

"When he finally fired, he scored a direct hit, unleashing the fury of the 8-foot, 2-inch beast, which created an explosion of mud and water before it ran toward the lake.

Big problem, because the nylon cord had become tangled at Crawford's feet, and when he grabbed the line, as it began to tighten, it became wrapped around his hand.

The line went taut and the fish yanked the fisherman into the water headfirst. That's when Crawford's dog, Bleux, grabbed him by the cuff of the jeans, creating a bizarre riverbank tug-of-war."

I would have liked to seen that whole scene

I'm sceptical about the dog grabbing him...kinda seemed like something he added in to spice it up a bit

I have never referred to any meal I have eaten as "It tastes like chicken." Not even chicken.

Lucky he got his hand loose or he could have been the trophy!
