this person wants these two gars id'd and it is under the photo lounge. i figured it could get a possitive id here in a few hours. i am thinking it could be either a florida/spotted or a shortnose. what do you guys think (richard or solomon)?

As stated on AP (Aquaticpredators.com... Home of the CLO) one is questionable the other is likely a shortnosed..Key photo is still missing and that is the one from the top that will truly tell on the smaller fish...Larger is likely a shortnosed..

Neither of these are Atractosteus in any way and are definitely Lepisosteus..
