"Boy Howdy" on the beer! Lived down there myself for nine years wasn't a big deal to have transom full of empty beer cans. Use to go out an fish specifically for gar and a fight indeed. We'd fight more of them than we'd catch as the trick was getting that hook set. Ate gar fish on many occasions. Cajun lady would beg us to bring em to her and she'd cook it up.
