Guest STXExtremeBowHunting Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar They did not say much about the story behind it. It is on a video and you can watch a sneak peak of it at their website www.aimlowproductions.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STXExtremeBowHunting Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar They make bow fishing and bow hunting video's. All I know is it was on Lake Sam Rayburn here in Texas and it was 244.5 lbs. I tried to find some thing on the story but no luck. Look at the site, maybe I missed some thing on it.

RyanH Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar I heard that the 244.5 is a rumor. I heard is was like 170! But Like I said it very possibly could be a rumor! Either way ITS HUGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar I do know for a FACT that gar that was SUPPOSEDLY killed in Oklahoma to not be true. I emailed the ODWC and had that confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar They do get huge! I read an article in Field N Stream a few years back about those monsters. That size use to be pretty common. Ive seen some large ones and even caught a few but never that big. I wonder about the weight too. The state (oklahoma) record looks to be close to that size and its just over 100lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar Actually I looked it up again. The unrestricted state record for oklahoma is 184lbs. Here is the image. It was to large to paste. Here is the rod and reel state record. There are still some monsters out there! This one was 180lbs. Giving the size of the monster they have, id say its possible that weight is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman25 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar I've seen that video before about 6 months ago. Darn big fish though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar I wouldn't doubt the weight. Those things get enormous. I mean, look at the pic with them STANDING by the fish. You gotta figure that one of those guys has to weigh at LEAST 170. Right? And that fish is way bigger than them!!!

Guest STXExtremeBowHunting Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar I know it was taken here in Texas and I have been around (not caught or killed myself) that were in the 180 to 200 class and this fish is the biggest I have ever seen. The 244.5 I think is true. I could be wrong but from being around a few 150 plus lb gars, this guy is well over 2 bills. Even if the guys in the pic are 250 lbs together, you can see that the fish is as big or close to the sixe of them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Bow Fishing- 244.5 lb Gar They still didn't break the record though. Current record for Texas is 279 pounds. ( I'd still be proud of that one!!! ) State record holders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
