king-el, maybe a florida x longnose?

 

[E_americanus]

i was going to ask for a dorsal shot and then got to the end of the thread (finally)...can you get another dorsal shot (one from straight over top)? i was going to say FL x longnose hybrid is a distinct possibility; nice pick up reGARdless!--

haha i have no idea man..it's not like these things come with labels. my guess was initially longnose gar, but the snout does seem a little on the short side. however, it's also way too narrow to be a florida gar.

thanks solomon, i'll try getting one asap. like the plat florida? i personally find gold ones more appealing...plats should be atractosteus imo
