Picked up a few pieces of "trash" this weekend...

I bet those guys put up some amazing fights! Glad to see somebody else appreciate the "trash" as much as I do. I'm about to take my son out carpin' for his first time this weekend. He doesn't even know what he's in for!

I've always wondered... If it puts up a good fight and you plan on releasing it regardless of what species it is then how can somebody call it trash? I'll bet both those fish fought harder than the average bass anybody on here catches.

I know some creeks that run into the Ohio River that have giant gar 6ft long in some cases. Been wanting to try and catch some I would love to know how to make the rope bait also.

Whoa there nelly! 6' is the world record length. Serious?

Ive never seen any that big but I have for sure seen some pushing 5'

I've seen some huge gar in Nolin. I've never caught one, but I see them swim right by the boat at the surface. I'd say a few have been 5' long.
