Good looking gar. Wish i could help ya. What is the difference between florida and spotted?
 
Looks like a Florida. Where did you get it? If it's from a lfs its 99% Florida. Wild caught from native waters are spotted.

Florida gars are native to Florida. Spotted gars can be found much father north. Even into Canada.

@bacon - thanks!
 
You can't ID it by pictures. Florida and spotted look too similar. You can only identify it by DNA testing or by knowing the collection point.
