lepisosteus osseus = longnose

i just said i wasnt sure with the coloration cause i have not seen a longnose with such beautiful coloration.

he knows L. osseus is a longnose....He has already called it both...He is saying that you post just t post and rarely have anything helpful to say...It was already ID'd before you even posted.

Anyway, to try to stay ontopic, I agree, very nice longnose!! Looks nothing like the one I had. Of course, all gar are different. Great find!

Simply beautiful specimen!

I've caught these in the canals near lake st. clair they are all over the place. No idea what they are I've always just referred to them as "gar pike."

definitely a longnose as stated above several times. given some of our (mine and richards) recent experience/comparisons with wild gars, i would also be interested in whether you caught it or purchased it. this looks a lot like a wild longnose (first one i kept for an extended period of time) back in the day. great pattern on that fish, nice orange-ish coloration in the fins as well--
