Florida long noise gar hybrid

[ESJBond007]

Has there ever been a Florida long noise gar hybrid before? if so are there any pictures of them

I can not say I've seen a documented case of one nor have I seen a deliberate hybrid of these two fish produced. So while technically a possibility there is is either no data or proof of them existing in either the wild or artificially.

Interesting thought though...

That is not a hybrid just a heavily spotted Longnose color morph..These are not uncommon in clear northern lake populations.

Thats my fish and we caught it in Illinois nowhere near spotted gars or Florida gars ... It is just a longnosed.. I still have it actually and it is one beautiful fish...
