6ft 9 inch is believe to be the biggest one in TX freshwater fisheries center, a 7ft longnose is most likely a hybrid longnose-gator.I have seen one around the 7ft mark once behind a dam feeding on some shad in Leesburgh Alabama. Had to been the biggest longnose I have ever seen.
So because it's 3" longer it has to be a hybrid? FAIL6ft 9 inch is believe to be the biggest one in TX freshwater fisheries center, a 7ft longnose is most likely a hybrid longnose-gator.
because there is no record of a 7ft longnose or a long nose that even pass 7'10''. TX freshwater fisheries center probably have one of the biggest longnose gar that ever exist in their breeding pond.So because it's 3" longer it has to be a hybrid? FAIL

I do see a lot of gar around me that most likely hybrid with there look. when fish get stuck in an isolated area (like a lot of pond, creek that once connect to the river before a long time drought in Texas) they will start produce hybrid between different species in the same family. Just like cichlid and some other fish, gar do that as well.Gars grow larger than others, their isn't always a constant growth pattern for any fish or any animal genetic abnormalities occur.
Do hybrid animals even exist in the wild? I have never heard of a any hybrid wild animal.
You should catch some and show us, hybrid gars sound really cool I'd love to own a few.I do see a lot of gar around me that most likely hybrid with there look. when fish get stuck in an isolated area (like a lot of pond, creek that once connect to the river before a long time drought in Texas) they will start produce hybrid between different species in the same family.
