In MS gars are not considered gamefish, although pickerel are. But many DNR folks unofficially smile upon
those of us who want to keep pickerel in aquaria.

It makes me mad when I go to all the trouble of having Marta cook up about
a hundred drumsticks, and the guy at the Marineland says, "You can't throw
