No one knows how big these fish get. the oldest ones that are known are only about 6 years old and are still around 25 to 30 inches.

Agreed....there are no known official growth data charts. On top of that they, don't know whether males or females have the growth inhibitor gene. A male lion and female tiger can have a liger that will have no growth inhibitor and continue to grow until its death, whereas a male tiger and female lion will have a relatively smallish hybrid offspring.
If anyone has any info with regard to this, feel free to post as I'm sure we'd all like to know

As stated 'crocodile Gar' is a (Florida x alligator hybrid) the picture above is an alligator gars these grow to a very large size (The rod and reel world record alligator gar weighed 290 lb)about a size of 3 m (10 ft),"The crocodile gar", it is uncertain of how large it will grow but as both parents grow to over 5(ish) feet it can be assumed it will grow at least as large.
biggest gator we caught so far has been about 7ft and just under 200lbs. would never get one or try to keep a small one.

There are actually different flavors of "The crocodile gar" than Flordia x gator which makes this difficult to predict..Captivity also generally results in fish smaller than wild fish.
I doubt any of the few existing Croc gars will reach above 3 foot. Honestly it would be interesting to know but given the fact only a handful are still around I doubt anyone will ever know unless these fish are produced again. One or two fishes max size will be known eventually (10 years or so) but one or two fish will not give a full indication of eventual max size.
