Croc gar?

[brutonsbrew]

I bought a 5" croc gar how do you tell what type what are the key differences. Will get pics tomorrow but has goofy big eye of alligator and many small spots only on top half of body. Don't really trust answers from lfs owner will tell you whatever you want to hear

Sounds like a juvenile alligator gar to me, but pictures will help greatly.

That comes up as the same picture as before. It looks like an alligator gar, though; seeing the head in context with the body might help to 100% on that ID.
