| At last - we're in
Texas, eager to fish ! The expectation is evident in their faces... |
Half running to the
boats - Where's the Gar, where's the Gar ? |
However, the first
days fishing on Lake Livingstone didn't produce any Gars |
 |
 |
 |
| Day 2: We're at it again on Trinity River | A morning like this almost promises results | Thorke's float takes off |
 |
 |
 |
| It's a hybrid Gar - a rare catch | Even a good size one - 36½ lbs | A dentist's dream ! |
 |
 |
 |
| Day 3: We make a strategic move to Palestine | where the river is more exciting | narrower, and exotic |
 |
 |
 |
| Pappy Kirkland has the pleasure of the Brits | Mark has the first bite here | and he lands a 40 lbs Alligator Gar - the target fish ! |
 |
 |
 |
| Next Henrik has the bite | The first Alligator Gar does this to you | Henrik with a 37½ lbs Gator Gar |
 |
 |
 |
| Day 4: Steve has the first go | Airborne Gar - a great fight | and a good result - 68 lbs Gator Gar |
 |
 |
 |
| Day 5: We have several bites in the same big pool | where I get a 70½ lbs - | and Thorke gets a 59½ lbs Gator Gar |
 |
 |
 |
| Day 6: Livingstone Dam | We fish for various species | such as Buffalo Carp |
 |
 |
 |
| Catfish species | Sunfish species | and Bass species |
 |
 |
 |
| We move down-river, and fish for Gar | While the floats are out, Rune catches a Longnose Gar | on a Rapala |
 |
 |
 |
| Shortly after, he hooks a big Gator Gar | The biggest of the trip: 121 lbs | I believe he is happy with the images of the Gar |
 |
 |
 |
| Last day: We fish near Huntsville again | Steve & Thomas get nice Gar: 77 lbs & 40 lbs | Steve is understandably happy |
