Here are tips I learned while cleaning an alligator gar: Put your gar on a flat board so it can’t slide! These gar are slimy! Secure the gar’s head so it doesn’t move and it will make it easier to slice down the back to get to the filets. These gar have armored scales, so make sure you have the right tool to get to the filets! #gar #fish #alligatorgar #louisiana #fishing
