## Caption

After 49 years, the Madisonville Gar Rodeo in South Louisiana has become a staple event for alligator gar fishermen, along with local families and communities.⁠
⁠
This year’s rodeo had a huge turnout, and it featured some of the biggest gator gar ever caught in the state, including one nearly 200-pound fish that would have smashed the state record. But the fish didn't qualify as a record because it was caught on a jugline and not a rod and reel. The team that landed the giant gar and took home a $2,500 check for winning the adult jug division included Scott Watts, Abram Martinez, Bryson Martinez, and Austin Palmer.⁠
