Fishing With An Attitude!Shortnose Gar Record Broken Terry Terrence arrowed a new state record shortnose gar weighing four pounds, 12.8-ounces. Terry’s record was verified in the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s unrestricted category for legal fishing methods other than rod and line. “We go upstream by airboat from the Three Forks (confluence of the Verdigris, Arkansas and Neosho rivers near Muskogee), into areas where the gar are surfacing,” said Terry. Upon being measured by Monte Ried, state game warden stationed in Rogers/Mayes county, Terry’s fish measured 31 inches long with a girth measurement of 10.25 inches. Terry took up bowfishing as a hobby some 30 years ago and it’s his favorite summer pastime. To land the new record, Terry used a Zebco Brute 270 bowreel spooled with 80-pound test line. Terry’s record may not stand up for long. Only some 40 days earlier, the prior state record for shortnose gar in the unrestricted category was set with a 3-pound, 3.8-ounce fish taken by bowfisherman Dale Starry from the Red River June 12. If you think you have hooked a record fish it is important that you weigh the fish on a Oklahoma State Department of Agriculture certified scale and the weight is verified by a Wildlife Department employee.
