100% Alligator Gar. Had one before. Grows insanely fast and gets aggressive when hungry. Not advisable to keep in homes..

Judging more from the overhead photo, I'd say gator gar. Where did you get it?

Well i took the gar to a few local fish stores an a 3 places said it was a spotted gar an 1 place said a gator.. so can anyone else give me more opinions?? Because now im more confused than ever..
Did you actually drive the fish around or did you bring the pictures?

Alligator gar. I don't think I would even return to those fish stores which didn't think it's an alligator

Definitely a gator. I hope you didn't haul that fish around trying to get different opinions. It is a gator. Now decide what to do with it.
