0 PaddyT Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Easy way to tell the difference is stick your finger in its mouth- if you end up screaming in pain-its a longtom- if you dont-its a gar!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 They often are hard to hook because of their Toothy/Boney Mouth, good catch for your first lure caught fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MattGb1989 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Yeah it was really crazy to watch it just smash it. Was a really good first lure catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
