Sure, if the alligator gar choose to dine on the asian or silver carp then I'm all about it...but we all know they will eat anything and everything they can get their teeth on. Which means yet one more thing for our sport fish to have to compete with in order to survive. I fully support our KDFW officers and officials, but I have to disagree with re-stocking the alligator gar.
