How to Catch Alligator Gar

How to catch alligator gar you may ask? Oddly enough the original way of catching an alligator gar fish was much like that of an real alligator! The large alligator gar has long snouts with many teeth and bony heads much like an alligator. So fisherman figured out that normal tactics would not work so well with alligator gar fish, and instead designed a snare tactic of fishing alligator gar fish known as “noosing”, this is where a heavy wire leader is utilized and looped to shape a snare. A lure fish is stuck to the noose, which is placed on the bottom. An alligator gar fish will come along and grab the bait then the fisherman sets the snare and then the tug of war battle ensues similar to that of an alligator.
