Me and my uncle went to Lake Livingston to a stump field right off the trinity, he didnt want me shooting the "dinks" x40 (4-5 footers)...

So we waited until we saw a monster roll 8 feet from the boat! He stuck it right behind the neck and the fight was on! We chased him with the trolling motor for 10 minutes before i could stick him in the back half, finally got him in the boat! 84.50 inches and 160lbs! My uncle is on TPWD website with 2 bowfishing records for that lake. If there is anyone who wants to shoot the "dinks" or even a giant, I live in the League City (north of galveston about 30 miles) area, pm me and we can go check out that spot and stick some. I'll get fuel and drinks if someone has a boat and wants to do a mid week or Sunday, day trip or night also if you have a light set up. I have a center console bay boat up there we can use if someone is equipped with gear and just wants to go...I just need a fix!

How can that be? TPWD Commissioners tell me we're one fish away from extinction.

I've seen some big schools mid lake in the summer time that will let you know there are a pile of them in Lake Livingston.You might not want to be potlicking your uncles spot without him there, with some strangers. lol

He doesnt care, he said if there was anyone who wanted to go with no boat that we could use his 17' center console fiberglass boat for daytime runs because he has no lights.

I agree with you on that point. I think they are trying to manage for trophies in Texas since we don't have as much un-trafficked Gar habitat as Louisiana, but to say that there weren't any trophy sized gar anywhere else caught me off guard.
