I thought they weren't good to eat (I'm in northern Louisiana) until some Cajun friends of mine from college lost their mind about me leaving some longnose gar on the bank where I was shooting them with my bow. One of them took me home one weekend and his momma made me some "garballs" which were fantastic. Looked like a mixture of white meat, potato flakes, and seasoning that was baked in the oven.
Gar are one hell of a lot of fun to bowfish. Big. Especially alligator gar.
Gar are pretty much only good for target practice. Sounds like a fun morning!
What are the exactly? Some type of bird?
