Tons of meat... On bigger gar they sometimes use a hatchet or machete. I used a hammer and a stiff knife on this one...
I am catching them now on a float with a steel leader, treble hook with a whole large shad. I have heard they will also hit on perch and carp.
I am interested in bowfishing them as well. It is very difficult to catch them using a pole because their mouths are so tough to hook.
