Red face Couple of Gar

Went fishing below Flat Rock Dam this morning, and found that the recent floods brought in a ton of huge longnose gar and carp. This is the biggest one i could catch, although there were some monsters out there that must of been 4 feet or longer. You could see them as clear as day swimming along and busting shad. Pretty cool sight. Also could see 20+ carp around 10 pounds swimming in 2 feet of water, but didnt have my special carp bait so maybe next time. Tried to get a gar on fly, but it was really hard because they dont hold on to the bait.

pretty small pond, gets shallower near the dam fall, but one throw of the cast net into the sloth will get you a days bait worth of shad.
