There are gar in Champlain, I believe Longnose gar, but not the gators, either way they are one badass fish. hey Caroga where in Champlain do they hang out (if you dont mind my asking)? Ive been here 4 years and have yet to catch one but would love to set into one. My buddy just got a boat so we can run around the lake now.
I think you better read the information about them, it says their skin is a tough/strong as armor.
