killing garfish

[eman]

I watched 2 guys w/ 25 -5 gallon jug lines down in doe gris spend sat and sun fishing a pit . they had it down to a science. they got there put the boat in the water baited an set their jugs and went back an built a cleaning table out of 3 10' x 12" scaffold boards and 3 saw horses. got out ther stuff to clean the gar and as soon as a jug would pop up they'ld get in the boat go get the gar shoot it bring it back to the table and clean it . meat went straight to ice chest. They slept in the truck sat night.
ran the jugs all da sat and all day sunday and when they got ready to pack it up . i asked one of them how much meat he figured they had?
he told me between 500 and 700 lbs. It was a bunch of 120 qt ice chest full so i don't know. but he did tell me they got $1 a lb. for it.
you could tell it wasn't their first time doing this . they cleaned those gar as fast as alot of folks can clean redfish.
