I was told that it is a shortnose gar (L. Platostomus). But for me the alligator gar and the shortnose gar look a bit the same. What do you think?

just seein that face...gator for days lol.

Im leaning towards gator...but the more i look it could possible be a shortnose. Color/pattern varies alot due to area/collection point and this guys face just looks a bit odd to me like a shortnose.





Smaller/skinny shortnose do not resemble urs but any picture of a large fat one i come across is very close. I have to agree with u o.p. shortnose and gators are very similiar at times.
