I was out on our pier on Tippy a few years back early in the morning and saw a huge female I assume with several males all around her. This fish was fat and at least 5 feet long. They were rolling around in the shallow water near shore. I have been around the lake my entire life and never seen one that huge. I ran into the house to get my bow to put it on the wall as a lake oddity and never saw it again. I think there are some really big gar out there.
