Looks like a Florida. Where did you get it? If it's from a lfs its 99% Florida. Wild caught from native waters are spotted.

Florida gars are native to Florida. Spotted gars can be found much father north. Even into Canada.

You can't ID it by pictures. Florida and spotted look too similar. You can only identify it by DNA testing or by knowing the collection point.
