Unfortunately, alligator gar are only dangerous when you pull them into your boat.
They are fish eaters and scavengers, not aggressive like a pike.
They are hearty fish that can survive out of water for sometime, and are usually caught by hook or by bow and arrow. They have a very thick skin "just like an alligator".

I don't know about eating them, but killing them just for the sake of getting your mug in the news is rather dissappointing.

Oh well, at least when we keep and kill monster stripers, they do get eaten (in most cases).
