Not martial arts related.

but they caught a new world record alligator gar in Texas. They got it with a bow. Alligator gar are fresh-water fish that live in just about any large river in the US.

This is a link for wikopedia just showing what an Alligator gar is. This is not the record.

HOLY SHIT!

OMG, I can't believe I looked at that. I have this paralyzing fear of large fish and large bodies of water.

I seriously won't sleep tonight.

/shudder.

Never bring a gar of any size into the boat until you are sure it is dead. Gar especially big ones can really hurt you with those needle teeth. Gar don't consider humans prey but there is one reported attack on a person in Lake Pontchartrain. The person (girl I think) was dangling his/her feet in the water when a large Alligator Gar mistook here splashing foot for a fish. It bit but thankfully let go.

I have also recieved an email telling me about two other attacks, these from the Lake Charles area. Below is the direct quote from the email.

"My dad has told me all my life not to dangle my feet in Big Lake (Calcasieu Lake) because his first cousin, Ben King, was terribly wounded - with nineteen tooth holes - when he dangled his feet off a pier in Lake Charles in the 1920s when he was about 18. He and Raymond Dunn, my dad's brother, skinned it and tacked it to their aunt's (Mabel King Kelly)garage. Daddy says it was there for years -- on land where the main post office in Lake Charles is today. Daddy says he also remembers a fishing guide getting his hand mangled in Bayou Bicone (sp?) - a bayou about half way down the shore of Big Lake."

yeah, If you get them onto land or in your boat, they'll actually look at you and try to hurt you. Sometimes even going after you. They have armor plated scales and razor barricuda-like teeth; a prehistoric fish. But I guess they're good eating.
