Well Diego I have to say you have an interesting one...It is still a close call between Florida and spotted..I have to say though I'm now leaning to maybe a spotted which would be the first in a very very long time. If possible could you get a full side pic of it with a ruler or pencil for size and proportion determination???

florida gar 100%
based on this peice of info i found

The Florida and spotted gars are distinguishable from each other primarily by the snout length. The distance from the front of the eye to the back of the gill cover is less than 2/3 the length of the snout in the Florida gar, while it is more than 2/3 of the length in the spotted gar. The Florida gar lacks bony scales on the throat.
