When telling a "I caught a fish this big," story, it helps to have evidence. What do you think, was this real? Thanks to the Austin History Center, Austin Public Library for this fish tale.

On April 12, in Brazoria County were on patrol near Surfside when they boarded an offshore vessel for inspection. The vessel was found to have 27 snapper over their limit. The vessel was fishing in federal waters where the federal snapper season is currently closed. The over limit fish were seized and donated to members of the community and the anglers on the vessel were issued citations.

These giants can also be caught on fly rod! One of my favorite ways to catch them.

You can’t rewind life, but you can always bait the hook and try again.

**Tagged** What an epic start to the trip! In the first two hours we caught this 94.5 inch alligator gar which is the second longest I’ve seen.

We discovered an extremely old tag and I was able to gather the info. Texas Parks and Wildlife tagged this fish on March 8th, 2012 in the exact same location. The crazy thing is she was 93 inches at the time of tagging so she had only grown an inch and a half in 13 years! Gar this large are special and 70-80 years old is a conservative guess on her age.

Capt G: Same spot !!! Last night on light tackle while hunting for that 30 inch trout! Caught on freelined live mullet. Epic 45 min plus battle. I danced with this monster amongst the sunkin barge remains! Rusty , barnacle covered iron protruding from the bottom of the bay floor. The majority of the fight actually took place inside one of those barges as it weaved in and out between the wreckage. But she was not going to get away.
