killing garfish

[Gottogo49]

I fished with a buddy who used to catch some giants back in the refuge canals. He used a long handle ball peen hammer (no guns allowed in there). He would hit them hard a little lower than between the eyes- scrambled their brains. He had a big one that was only stunned come back alive in the boat, broke a rod and almost knocked him out of the boat before he could administer a second treatment. Gar fishing can be as exciting as gator hunting.
