I agree with Bigticket- gar swim like lightning and are a blast to catch especially on light tackle. I used to catch a lot of them on the lower half of the Muskingum River. Don't know of a fish that go that crazy when hooked. I just hate handling them things. Besides the teeth they have scales like razored armor and the slime factor is rediculous.

40lb amberjack?! you got pics?? that had to be one hell of a fight.
Believe me! Its was. I learned the hard way to never stick the handle of a rod between your legs when fighting one Talk about painful! LOL. These were the ones from the trip. The Mahi is getting mounted. 47in.

Rod hawg! Ha ha ha. My Aunt lives down in Florida. We used to see her every couple of years and went fishing on the charter boats. Guess which one? Yep, the Critter Fleet. Small world, but apparently they do well as a business after all these years!
