In this video I show how to clean a gar and get pure boneless white meat that is delicious! But something is toxic that you should avoid! Watch and find out!
This is the first video I've seen of someone cleaning gar the way I do. We've tried 3 dozen ways to clean em as we tend to get a lot of em bowfishing and this is my favorite way.
I saw the previous video on you all catching it and you said it was so tough a knife won't do it and you we're going to do a seperate video on the gar fish, I thought maybe you were going to use a chain saw.😂😂😂 Blessings from Australia
You ought to have the boys make their own rope lures and fish for gar. They will have a blast. CZcams has videos on how to make them. I enjoyed Richard Genes' on that subject.
@@chadrexwinkle7868 I might just load up my boat and come run a trot line or two this spring. My dad fished the Neosho river back in the 60s……. I’ve wanted to do that all my life! He was doing it around Humbolt or Chanute…….. I can’t remember exactly.
I had heard that gar were not good to eat, but when a friend caught one I just hated to see it go to waste. (I had seen people catch them, break their snout, or upper jaw, and they're then back before.). So I cleaned and cooked it and really liked it. And I've caught, cleaned and cooked several since then.

Yes this works great! Good eats too!!
Thanks for posting if I catch one I'll know how to clean
I will have to try tacos. I've eaten gar fried, baked, and stewed in gravies. One of my favorite fish.
Joe Pacholik I believe you will like it very much!

That meat looks really good ! You made cleaning that gar look easy . I was always told if you catch a gar to kill it and leave it on the bank lol .
Aaric Hale Yes! It’s unreal how much good meat goes to waste every year because of lack of knowledge!
Seeing him handle that gar had me nervous 🤣🤣🤣 but then again he is a Mcgie and is born for this
Bankyankin Live 🤣🤣🤣🤣true that!!!!

That fillet looks wonderful, the gar is a weird fish it looks like a cross between and eel and crocodile with its snout.

Thanks for the tip! I need to!!!
We use the cotton string off feed sacks to wrap them
Oh man I’ve got lots of that!
I have eat regular gar and was really happy it was grilled
I hope you get one soon! Good luck!
I eat them every year very good I use mustard when it's raw soak them then breaded very good
Oh yes mustard is a great marinade!!!
I have hooked a few of them but never landed one
Gar eggs are unbelievable catfish bait we use them in early spring catfish follow the gar up the river on their spawn run . Same with spoonbills
Wow that’s incredible information! Thanks! But how do you keep it on the hook?
If you look at feed sack string its 3 strands separate them use single strand
The string works for spun chicken blood too also great fish bait
I’ll definitely be trying this!
Sure works on the Neosho river and the Verdigris river bud

You’re my kinda guy! Never take peoples word for anything that they say is bad to eat!!!
That fish sound like it's hard on the top
Bankyankin Live Like a rock bro! Actually top and bottom is rock hard!
