Just got back from south Florida. I stopped along the Tamiami Trail and saw countless gar lazily swimming in the crystal clear water. They looked like Spotted or Florida gar ... about 2' long. I noticed that most were quite dark, and a few almost a golden color. Here's a brief video.

Yep. I totally moved down here for the fish. My last job was surveying fish populations and submerged aquatic vegetation in the Everglades.
