Gar pike on the fly rod

[Guest]

I caught this (4" 30lb ) gar on my 6" fly rod . I was on a fishing trip at Smith Lake and my Dad said he knew a little backwater were there is a lot of crappie and bass so he started the motor and we headed over to it. When we got there I got my fly rod out and I tossed a small green and yellow popper fly. We caught a few bass and 3 crappie, but on the way out I saw something on top and I thought wow that is a huge bass so I threw the popper and all of a sudden I felt a huge tug and my reel went crazy!! Then I saw this huge alligator gar fly out of the water and he looked in to my eyes as if saying "You better enjoy this because you will never get another thrill like this again in you life). I looked at him fall back in to the water and he took off just pulling more and more line off I finally started to real line back in after 15 or 20 minutes he finally gave up I got hin to the boat and my Dad cut the line and he swam off.
have a great day nice site Metal i dont know if this gonna work
