Episode 75 Ryan King & The Misunderstood Gar

Curious about gar? We were, so we tapped one of the leading
authorities on this prehistoric apex predator. Aggressively hunted
by bow fishers and mistreated by some anglers, the gar can’t seem
to get any respect, but Dr. Ryan King serves as an advocate for
this misunderstood group of species. A Professor of
Biology and Director of Aquatic Ecology at Baylor University,
King’s career path began following his first fly fishing experience
on Oregon’s Deschutes River. King holds the Texas catch and
release flyrod records for longnose (59", length only) and
alligator (40.7 lbs) gars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
