24 feet is ridicules. They have NEVER gotten this big. You can hardly find fish over 6-7 feet in the wild cuz of overfishing and killing...My understanding is...true Alligator Gars can get to be 7-8 feet long...and really large wild specimens can get to be 12-24 feet long. If the gar pictured above is truly an Alligator Gar...then at 15" it is only a "baby". Otherwise...it is probably a Florida Gar or a Spotted Gar...which get to be around the 2-3 foot range.
