quote: Dumped it out before. I kept him on ice for 2-3 mins while deciding whether or not to kill it (for pond owner) and when I decided I'd throw it in the bayou, I dumped the ice for transport. He looked fine from what I could tell. quote:  This post was edited on 6/11 at 1:17 pm Reply • Back to Top |

| his mouth doesn't look wide enough to be an alligator gar. Reply • Back to Top |

| the ones I mainly deal with aren't spotted, needlenose, or alligator. is there just a river gar, or is it some kind of hybrid? mouth like the middle below, but not as needly and a bit shorter.. similar to the one in OP, but definitely not needlenose, spotted, or alligator.  eta: unless needlenoses start to taper as they increase in size.  can't find a good pic.

| I would LOVE to have that thing loose in my pond! I have 15 bazillion bream that have completely taken over. I actually considered catching a couple gar at a place I know at Indian Creek and turning 'em loose to "thin the herd" a little bit! Reply • Back to Top |
| But we have a gar, with spots, called The Spotted gar, and he is not The Alligator Gar. Lepisosteus oculatus vs. Atractosteus spatula. Reply • Back to Top |
