Last answer was false. All gars are apex predators. They eat whatever will fit into their mouths, just like an alligator. Gars eat alligators, and alligators can eat gars. An alligator will attack something bigger than it can eat in one sitting and sink it to the bottom and store it. A gar is a fish, and as such they are mobile and snatch what they can eat and run. If you're talking about a 300 pounder or in ancient times a 600 pound 15 footer, you had better bet they can eat a 6 foot gator. Gars and gators have lived together for millions of years. They eat each others young but they both survived.

No, they do not attack people, and as a general rule, do not bite people, when caught when fishing. Their teeth are razor sharp so gloves should always be worn, when handling the gar.
