Texas fisherman prevails in epic battle with enormous alligator gar
By: Pete Thomas, GrindTV.com
Whether Brent Crawford has captured the world's largest alligator gar will
never be known -- his scale bottomed out emphatically at 300 pounds and he
filleted the prehistoric-looking fish after attempting to obtain its weight.
But this much is clear: The gar Crawford landed while bow-fishing recently
in Texas' Lake Corpus Christie is among the largest specimens ever captured
-- and it was captured in a manner like no other gar captured beforehand.
(The largest-known alligator gar caught while bow-fishing weighed 365 pounds
. The largest caught on rod and reel weighed 279 pounds.)
Crawford, who has lived on the lake for 20 years, was alerted to the
presence of several giant gar in a wide canal feeding into the lake: an
enormous female swimming with about five smaller males.
His reaction, according to the Corpus Christie Caller Times, was simply: "Oh
goodness. That fish right there was worth chasing."
The newspaper's outdoors columnist, David Sikes, produced a detailed account
of what transpired next. The following is a condensed version:
Crawford, with his fishing bow, stalked the great fish carefully, knowing he
might only get one shot.
When he finally fired, he scored a direct hit, unleashing the fury of the 8-
foot, 2-inch beast, which created an explosion of mud and water before it
ran toward the lake.
Big problem, because the nylon cord had become tangled at Crawford's feet,
and when he grabbed the line, as it began to tighten, it became wrapped
around his hand.
The line went taut and the fish yanked the fisherman into the water
headfirst. That's when Crawford's dog, Bleux, grabbed him by the cuff of the
jeans, creating a bizarre riverbank tug-of-war.
Crawford ultimately was able to free his hand from the cord and stand knee-
deep in the shallow canal, gripping his fishing bow, the cord still attached
to the mighty fish. "There was no doubt who was in control and it wasn't me
," the fisherman recalled.
The gar stole 200 feet of cord in a battle that lasted 45 minutes, before
Crawford reeled it to the bank. Soaked and exhausted, the fisherman
straddled the fish, reached for his cellphone -- which he had kept in a
waterproof case -- and dialed a friend.
The friend arrived with a pistol, which resoundingly ended the struggle, and
the two men used a rope and an ATV to drag the quarry to Crawford's house.
It wasn't until after Crawford had carved up his catch that he learned the
Texas bow-fishing record for alligator gar is 290 pounds, and the overall
state record is 302 pounds.
Record or no record, it was a monstrous gar and one of the wildest angling
feats in Texas history. It's a shame that there isn't a category for that.

倒不是想搞这种怪物啊
以前我以为弓要很棒的
但几个月前去钓鱼的时候看到一帮under们就拿着很土鳖的弓在河边踅摸
感觉这东西是不是入门也不需要太贵？
