We used to catch them on our YoYos on Caddo Lake.
Blechy, mean fish that got to be thrown back as there
isn't a thing edible on em.

Actually they are edible. But look at this recipe:

5 pounds deboned Garfish
2 medium onions
2 cloves garlic
I rib celery



It's that 'deboned' part that's worrisome. That could turn into a
likelong occupation from what I've heard about them.
