From The Field




click to enlargenate AND have one more reason to not swim in the Trinity River.
These exclusive images of an elusive giant alligator gar sunning on the surface of the Trinity River were captured by cell phone from an undisclosed downtown Fort Worth TX hi rise office building. Witnesses describe the beast as a "monster" and "at least six feet long". Back to you Barry.

Marmi- The alligator gar is a fish with a long snout full of sharp teef- hence the alligator moniker. They are found in North and Central America and the Carribean.
The record by rod and reel in Texas is a 279 pounder taken in 1951.
Unsure how many stones that would be but, that was one big fishy!
