hehe, any explanations for the guesses so far?

Mostly the color and Cubans seem to have more of an underbite from what I've seen. The way the bottom teeth sort of hang over the sides in a comical way looks just like mine. Also the broadness of the snout.

I don't know if its actually a scientific trait or not, just something that catches my eye with Cubans.

Gar Quiz 212011.jpg
 
Crocodile gar, longnose x gator. Longer moth characteristic of the longnose, but looks wider. The fin looks larger than normal. Has a heavier build than most longnose gars. Colouring is uniform, which is more characteristic of the Atractosteus genus as they age.
 
WOW! That is an impressive gar. Will give my answer in a bit.
