Aaah, OK. I was thinking I had some of one at an event put on by KOA in Florida. But I just researched my thought & discovered it was alligator gar. Still a neat catch regardfless.The Confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers in North Dakota.
So did I! ?At first I thought you meant paddle board fishing. That's getting popular now.
Congratulations on a pretty unique catch!
Did you try to eat it......Ugggh nasty tasting fish the best I tried was fried and it was almost palatable. Snagging at it's best
DH53 did you cut all the red meat off? That's where the nasty taste comes from. Get all that off then soak in salt water for a few hours. My favorite recipe is beer battered and deep fried.Did you try to eat it......Ugggh nasty tasting fish the best I tried was fried and it was almost palatable. Snagging at it's best
Yes I tried it that way but it was still a little fishy for me and that is saying something as I eat fish about 4 - 5 times a week. Stripers are that way also get all the red meat off of them and then eat them.DH53 did you cut all the red meat off? That's where the nasty taste comes from.
